Chapter 663: End of the first day, 4 people eliminated
Fairy Tail Camp...
Kira took out the magic crystal of video, and planned to use it to preserve part of the battle process of the "Great Magic Fighting Games" so that he could take it out at any time in the future to reminisce about his youth.
"Why did you ask Mira to show mercy, President??"
"That's right, shouldn't we go all out in this kind of competition?"
Natsu, Erza and others behind them didn't understand the riddle that Killer and Makarov were talking about. They just felt that letting go in such a game was both disrespectful to the opponent and not in line with the style of Fairy Tail.
Bang!
Several hands gently rested on these young people. They were uncles like Makao and Wakaba.
They smoked cigarettes and talked about the life experience of the older generation with a dazed and melancholy look in their eyes: "Young people, you are still young and your life experience is too shallow. It is normal that you don't understand these things."
"Many times, in many situations, knocking down the opponent with one punch is not the best way!"
"The magic world is not just about fighting and killing, there are also human relationships!"
Erza and the others seemed to understand, but they felt that what the other party said made some sense, so they nodded stiffly and listened to all the teachings.
Lucy vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was for a moment. In the end, she could only think that she was too sensitive because of Juvia's quarrel just now.
The duel between Mira and Jenny was very exciting, and the power duel unsurprisingly turned into a popularity duel.
As a result, duels with themes such as swimsuits, bunny girls, eyed girls, cat girls, and straitjacket took place one after another, giving the audience and judges a feast for the eyes.
Mira's magic is demon reception, Jenny's magic is mechanical reception. To be honest, if the talents of both sides were not so different, the two could have fought back and forth.
Fortunately, they have now made up for this regret in another field.
The twin stars of the cover girls and doctors performed a costume show at the "Great Magic Fighting Show". This news will surely spread throughout the entire Fiore Kingdom the next day.
“The game is over!!”
The announcer wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and announced loudly: "The score is 50:49. Mirajane won this game with a slight advantage!!"
"Damn it!! I actually lost?!"
Jenny's expression was not very good. She really couldn't understand why she lost when her popularity was obviously higher than Mira's! Although the gap was small, she still couldn't accept it!
"Thank you for letting me win. I almost lost. It was a close call!" Mira maintained her usual smile.
In fact, there was a theme called "Demon" in the dress-up show just now. She used Sera's appearance. In that scene, she used the spell "Command" to control the audience's scoring.
This is not cheating. How can it be considered cheating if you get points based on your own strength?
It's a pity that there was no bet in this game that the loser would have his nude photos published in the newspaper.
In the comics' Great Magic Fighting Games, Jenny made the bet based on the fact that 'the judges like young girls'. This time is different. At this stage, Mira and Jenny are equally young and equally famous. Jenny is even more popular. She won't be stupid enough to make such a bet.
The game was over, but Makarov was still not satisfied. He couldn't help but approach Kira and asked in a low voice: "Kira, you not only took photos, but also took pictures, right ?"
Kira put the magic crystal back into his personal space and said calmly, "Yes! It's a great harvest!"
"How about giving me one later?"
"You wish!"
Kira looked at the old pervert with disdain, "This is art! Art... can it be shared casually?"
That's not very kind of you!
Makarov frowned and advised earnestly: "Kira, you grew up under my watch. I have treated you well over the years..."
"So I can't let you do something that is harmful to your physical and mental health, or even causes your blood pressure to soar!"
Kira righteously rejected Makarov's plea, his righteous spirit was hard to break, "You have to know that you are already ninety years old, President!"
"These things are no longer suitable for people of your age to read. If Laxus came to beg me, I could still consider it, but I don't think he would do it."
"you……"
Kira didn't even give Makarov a chance to speak and just picked up Happy. After the man and the cat made a simple deal, Happy started shouting at Makarov at the top of his voice.
"No way to win! No way to win!..."
Makarov: "..."
So why did you let the harpy shout?
Today 's competition has ended. Amid the conversation between announcer Chapati and judge Yajima, the audience left the venue one after another, and the crystal screen on the field showed the scores and member changes of all teams after the first day.
Among them, "Fairy Tail", "Emperor's Shield", "Witch's Sin" and "Four Headed Hounds" are shown with 35 points and 6 people remaining; the other four guilds are shown with 25 points and 5 people remaining.
Looking at the changes on the crystal screen, Kira thought to himself: "According to this trend, by the fifth day, there will still be a lot of people..."
The fights on the first and second days are in single-player mode, and the fights on the third and fourth days are in double-player mode. In total, a maximum of 24 people will be eliminated, and there are a total of 48 people in the eight teams, which means that at least half of the players will still be there on the last day of the competition!
Unlike the 'points system' competition in X791 in the comics, this first competition is obviously an 'elimination system' competition. And an elimination system competition that uses four-fifths of the time to screen out half of the contestants is unreasonable no matter how you look at it.
"Will the 'competitive mode' also have players eliminated?"
If that's the case, everything would make more sense, but then, as time goes on, there will be a situation where no one can participate in the 'competitive mode'...
"Forget it, let the competition figure these things out!"
…
At night, Fairy Tail held a party at the tavern below the inn to celebrate the successful victory of the first day of the competition.
The wizards ate and drank to their heart's content and had a great time. After three rounds of drinks, "Witch's Sin" came over to visit, and the group of young people had even more fun.
In fact, compared to the old guilds such as "Blue Pegasus", "Snake Princess Scale" and "Four-Headed Hounds", the wizards of Kira's generation are more familiar with the people of "Witch's Sin".
He used to be more familiar with the people from those three guilds. On the one hand, it was because Makarov had a close personal relationship with their presidents, and on the other hand, it was because they were the only few magic guilds that could compete with Fairy Tail.
But now it's different. In the eyes of all the wizards of Fairy Tail, the main cadres of Witch's Sin, Eric and Jinana, are already a clear couple; Vice President Urrutia and Gray are senior and junior sisters, and their relationship with Kira is ambiguous; President Jellal and Erza are unclear; cadres Melty and Wendy are pen pals and best friends; cadre Sorono and Cana are poker friends, and she and Lucy are senior and junior in the Celestial Spirit...
All these things combined make the two guilds like brothers and sisters to each other.
"I didn't expect you guys to participate in this tournament, but the president of Witch's Sin is Jellal, right? If he can't participate, can we rely on others alone?"
"Don't worry, the rest of us are also very strong! After all, we are a combined team of the 'Six Demon Generals' and the 'Seven Followers of Purgatory'!"
Indeed, based on this alone, this guild already has enough strength and foundation. It's just a pity that there are still a few people from the "Seven Dependents" squatting in the prison of the Council.
"By the way, did you notice that? The 'crow's tail'..."
"Ah, you mean 'leader' Brian? We all saw it!"
Eric's voice sank, and his gaze into the void suddenly became sharp, "Don't worry! We are very satisfied with our current life, and we won't let him disturb our current life!"
Jira was immediately impressed and could not help but stand in awe, praising: "People who have girlfriends are very confident when they speak!"
"What else?"
"Hahaha……"
