Chapter 745: Semi-finals Opening, Kira VS Jura
"The following may sound a little bizarre, but please believe me and give me a hand!"
Seeing old Thomas suddenly say these words with such a serious expression, all the wizards present, including Kira, were a little surprised, and even Kana sobered up a little.
What's going on? I thought today was just an ordinary dinner party, but now this has happened?
Sure enough, there is no free dinner in the world!
"Excuse me, what can we help you with?" Jola asked.
"The thing is, a few nights ago, before the Grand Demon Fighting Performance began, I received a letter."
Old Thomas sighed tiredly and said, "The content of the letter is that tomorrow night, which is the night of July 7, more than 10,000 dragons will invade the sky above Kurokas. These dragons are very powerful and have extremely terrifying destructive power. They will become a disaster for the Kingdom of Fiore and even the entire Ishgar!"
"So I want to gather all the wizards currently in Kurokas to resist the dragons and avoid this disaster!"
Upon hearing the news, all the magicians were stunned. They looked at each other and discussed in low voices.
Kira was also surprised. He was the only person present who knew that something might happen tomorrow, but his information came from Wendy No. 5. He didn't expect that King Thomas also knew about it, and the source of the information was a letter from several days ago, which was earlier than his own!
"You...you said there are 10,000 dragons? Is that true..."
"It's incredible that such a thing could happen!"
Compared to the shock and doubt of the others, Natsu seemed very excited: "Dragon?... Isn't that the hunting ground of the Dragon Slayer?"
"Could it be a prank? In any case, the fact that 10,000 dragons appeared in Crocus is too shocking!"
"Didn't the dragons disappear a long time ago? Where can we find 10,000 of them?"
Facing everyone's speculation and doubts, Thomas had expected this: "At first I thought it was just a prank by someone who sneaked into the palace, but the letter listed the results of each day of the Grand Magic Fighting Exercise to prove its claim."
"I originally planned to gather everyone yesterday, but it rained heavily, so I had to postpone it until now."
"Until today, the results of the first six days of this tournament are exactly the same as the prediction in that letter. Even the time of the tournament was changed from five to seven days, the heavy rain on the fifth day postponed the final battle of the 'Seven-Game Showdown', and the list of the top four wizards on the sixth day were all accurate!"
"Seeing this situation, I have no choice but to believe what is on the Internet."
King Thomas looked a little anxious, but that was true. No matter who encountered this situation, they would certainly not be able to remain calm.
All the magicians fell silent after hearing this. No matter how you look at it, this is not good news.
At this moment, Kira suddenly asked, "Since the results of the first six days are available, what about the seventh day?"
In Kira's opinion, if this letter was sent by someone who knew the future of his world, then as long as the procedure was not followed on the seventh day, something else might happen.
However, King Thomas's next answer was beyond Kira's expectations.
He shook his head regretfully and replied, "The letter only contained the results of the six days before the competition, not the results of the seventh day!"
Faced with King Thomas' anxious request for help, the wizards of various magic guilds naturally agreed in one breath, if for no other reason, simply because they were citizens of the Kingdom of Fiore.
Besides, fighting against giant dragons, and tens of thousands of them, does sound intimidating, but for the proud magician, it is also a rare and precious opportunity to show himself.
However, even though the wizards agreed to help the royal family, they were unable to figure out what was going on with the invasion of Crocus by thousands of dragons. So when the dinner was over, the atmosphere was a bit quiet.
The next day, July 7th.
This is the day of destiny in the world of Fairy Tail. On this day in history, the Dragon Slayers traveled back in time from four hundred years ago to the year 777 in order to defeat Acnorolia. Since this plan was completed by the Heartfilia family and their descendants, it is also called the Promised Day.
However, regarding The Promised Day, Kira still remembered that there was a BGM of the same name as the anime's opening theme.
Since this was the last day of the Grand Magic Show, after all the magicians and spectators entered the venue, the host quickly started the tense and exciting semi-finals.
The first to appear were Kira and Jura, one of them was the leader of "Fairy Tail", known as the "strongest of the new generation of the magic world", and the other was the ace of "Snake Princess Scale". Both of them were ranked among the Ten Holy Wizards, so their duel was highly anticipated.
"I didn't expect to fight you first..."
Kira sighed and looked at Jura in the distance. The other party just nodded with a smile and turned to walk towards the stadium.
"Come on, Kira!"
"Come back with victory!!"
"Just win the game as usual!!"
His companions cheered Kira on and expressed their confidence in him.
Kira smiled easily: "Of course!!"
…
"I can finally fight you, Kirasan! I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Jura put his hands in his sleeves and walked to stand in front of Kira. His eyes were bright and his face was filled with excitement. "However, you must have consumed Can you exert your full strength?"
The big bald head reflected the sunlight above, which made Kira suspect that he was about to use the Sun Fist.
"Don't worry, my body is not that weak yet! Although it may seem impolite to say this, I think dealing with you is not much more difficult than dealing with others."
In the previous games, Kira had only experienced three battles. One was a one-on-seven battle in the hunt, the second was a two-man battle with Erza against Neinhart and Jacob, and the last one was yesterday, when he teamed up with Kana to eliminate Erza and Mira. In these three battles, he basically didn't use much effort and won the game easily.
From the perspective of social etiquette, Kira's words were already very impolite, but Jura was not angry. Instead, he showed a happy expression and a stronger fighting spirit emerged from his body: "That's really exciting!!"
This uncle has a really good temper. Maybe it’s because he is often compared with Kira, so he has always wanted to see who is better between them.
Kira couldn't bear to treat him like he had treated others before.
"I wonder if Lord Kira can promise me that you will not hold back in the match and fight me seriously?"
It seems that it was his previous battle that aroused Jura's desire to win. Although Kira was helpless about this kind of person, he could only be generous: "Don't worry! I will definitely do my best!"
Ding ding ding!!!
"The battle begins!!"
On the judges' stand, Chapati looked excited. The two most famous magicians in the Kingdom of Fiore in recent years had decided the winner in the Grand Magic Battle. This would definitely become the headline of today's news. No matter what the result was, it would gain enough attention for this competition.
There is hope for promotion and salary increase in the future!!
