Chapter 659: The opening match is over, members of the eight guilds
Amid cheers, the announcer sorted out the details and finally announced the final result of the competition, which was the final list of participants in the next few days, under the cheers and expectations of tens of thousands of viewers.
“The qualifying list for this opening match is:
Natsu Dragneel from 'Fairy Tail'!!
Argyle of 'Emperor's Shield'!!
Eric from 'Witch's Sin'!!
Mykala from 'The Heart of the Dragon'!!
Yuuka from 'Snake Princess Scale'!!
Hibiki Laitis of the 'Blue Pegasus'!!
Braiya of 'Crow's Tail'!!
Symes of the Four Hounds! ! "
In the last twenty minutes of the knockout round, although the twenty or so wizards were not as decisive as Ajir who shattered six crystal balls in one breath, they also performed a lot of cool moves.
For example, some people are as arrogant as Ajir. After winning the crystal ball, they think that the number of teams in the competition should be reduced, so they destroy the crystal balls in other people's hands;
Some people feel resentful because their crystal ball was snatched away by others, so they simply choose to throw away the crystal ball, not snatching it themselves, and not letting others snatch it, which is purely obstruction and destruction.
All these reasons resulted in only eight crystal balls left instead of the original ten.
After hearing this announcement, in addition to screaming and cheering, some people in the audience couldn't help but frown: "Several of these guilds are ones I haven't heard of before..."
"If I remember correctly, the two magic guilds, 'Emperor's Shield' and 'Dragon's Heart', were only established this year, right? It's incredible that they were selected at the same time!"
"Hey, hey, hey... is this true?? It's okay with 'Witch's Sin', they are all members of the royal family and have backers, we can't afford to offend them, but 'Crow's Tail'... isn't it a dark guild ?"
At the Fairy Tail camp, all the wizards had gloomy faces, especially Makarov. He felt as uncomfortable as seeing nine-turn large intestine on a chocolate cake when he heard that his rebellious son who ran away from home appeared in such a place.
"Protest!! Protest!! How can the Dark Guild be allowed into the tournament?!"
"Calm down!! Calm down, President!!"
The short 90-year-old man was so angry that he jumped up and down. If he hadn't been held back by Macao and others behind him, he would have rushed to the judges' podium to question the host.
At this time, the announcer Chapati also explained to the audience: "According to the data, the 'Crow's Tail' was only listed in the Light Guild by the Council, but there was no record of it being sentenced to the Dark Guild."
"What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
"How did Ivan deceive us?"
When the announcer introduced the eight guilds to the audience, Kira and others finally found the location of the "Crow's Tail" and saw some familiar guys.
Ivan - Makarov's good-for-nothing and rebellious son; Narubdinku - the short and fat man who beat up Gray in the original work; Obra - the tall man who attacked Wendy in the original work; Black Snake - the wizard who tore someone else's socks in the original work.
Since there was no sick girl named Freya, Kira guessed that she had not yet left the Sun Village. After all, she was still young at that time.
What surprised Kira was that there were several more people in their team who shouldn't be there at this time, including three characters who were supposed to appear in the Black Magic Cult several years later, but now appeared in advance.
Braiya - the brown-skinned girl who used the magic of clones in the opening game to fool a group of people; Yaluo - the future priest of the black magic cult; Jerome - the man who used the dark sword.
The last one is a person who has long been forgotten by Kira——Brian!
"Brian?!"
"That guy is not dead?"
Kira was a little surprised. When he read Brian's memory, he discovered the existence of the Dragon Slayer Research Institute. After that, he didn't look after him in order to explore the institute. When he was about to leave, he found that the other party was gone. He didn't expect that he would appear here.
"Wait! That guy is the former leader of the 'Six Demon Generals'! He hasn't been cleansed by the 'Witch's Sin' either. What are the people in the Council doing?!"
Turning to look at the 'Witch's Sin', he found that they were also surprised, especially Eric and others from the former 'Six Demon Generals'. At this time, they all had gloomy faces and no one knew what they were thinking.
It’s definitely not a good thing anyway!
To be fair, not to mention the others, just Brian and Arlok who can summon the Eighteen Fighting Gods of Hell, these two people are enough to support the "Tail of the Crow" card.
Not to mention the 'Four-Headed Hounds', maybe even the stronger 'Blue Pegasus' and 'Snake Princess' Scales' may not be able to defeat them!
Yiye and Jola and others had met Brian before. The other party didn't even change his name. He just stood in front of everyone so openly, which made them look unhappy.
"That guy... I remember he was from the 'Six Demon Generals'..."
"When he was taken away by Kilasan, we promised to hand those people over to him. Later, when the 'Witch's Sin' was established, I didn't hear his name. I thought he was secretly hidden by the royal family. I didn't expect..."
Although they didn't know why Brian appeared here, both Jola and Yiye were keenly aware that something was wrong and became extra alert.
The other guilds were similar to those who appeared in the original Great Magic Tournament, except that Kira saw Simon in the "Four-Headed Hounds", and Erza also saw him. The two long-lost friends nodded to each other from a distance as a greeting.
Then came "Witch's Sin", where there was an extra man named Lastiros, who was dressed ostentatiously. He probably went there to cleanse himself. However, Kira did not see the short and fat man Huayuan, so he might have retired.
The 'heart of the dragon' was just as Kira thought, from the Dragon Slayer Research Institute.
As expected, the president is Silver. The contestants are: the clone Nadia, the sickly ghost Disizu, the female warrior McCalla, the team's cute pet Nicole, and two unfamiliar faces, who look like twin sisters, about seventeen or eighteen years old, one named Siduo and the other named Korai.
Overall, although we are not familiar with each other, we know most of them.
And because Silver and Jellal knew each other, and Eric had studied there for a period of time as the second-generation Dragon Slayer, he also had a relationship with "Witch's Sin". It wasn't a very good relationship , but it was definitely not a bad one.
The last one is 'Emperor's Shield', whose president is August, and the participating members are Laquette, Inbel, Neinhart, Dimaria, Jacob, Agil, and Brandish is not on the list.
"This is troublesome. Our opponent has twelve shields. Can we defeat them?"
Makarov's face darkened again. He couldn't remember how many times he had been so depressed today. What made him even more depressed was that Mavis beside him was smiling brightly, as if the fairy had known about it for a long time.
"The first generation?! Could it be that you already knew about this?"
"Yes, yes."
"Uh... if that's the case, why didn't you notify us first?!"
"Well... because I think it'll be fun like this!"
Mavis's eyes sparkled, and she looked innocent and harmless, just like a naive and romantic angel.
interesting??!
Makarov almost vomited blood.
What time is this? ? 'Grand Magic Fighting Competition'!! You almost decided to be the first magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, but you blocked the enemy's situation just for the word "interesting"? Is this something a guild leader can do? ?
Is it true that after retirement, your family is the only one you have in your eyes and heart?
If it weren't for the fact that you are the first president, I would...
"So what?"
Makarov was startled by the question coming from behind: "Did I just say that?"
That's not right . When did I start talking to myself while thinking? Am I really getting old so fast?
"No!"
Kira said calmly: "President, you didn't say anything just now, but your feelings are written on your face!"
“…”
You are embarrassing me like this!!
