Chapter 748: The Final Battle! Kira VS Lacade!
Kira never imagined that Laxus and Cao Cao, two characters who had nothing in common at all, would one day be put on the same scale for comparison.
They all failed in the end because they couldn't control their desires, but Cao Cao lost more and more thoroughly, while Laxus did not!
But even so, his performance in this game was extremely embarrassing. Not only did Kira see it clearly, but even Makarov was so angry that his face turned red. This shows how bad his mood was.
Huh?! Wait! Something seems wrong. Why is this old man crying? He is so excited... What was he thinking just now?
It was not until the end of the game, when Laxus walked back with trembling legs and Makarov went up to him and said something, that Kira finally vaguely remembered why Makarov looked so relieved.
That’s right, the president…just wants to hug his great-grandson!
If you calculate carefully, Laxus is 25 years old this year, which is almost the age for him to start a family in this world. After Makarov retires from the position of guild president, he must find something to do every day. Playing with grandchildren and taking care of babies are the best activities, so Laxus needs to work hard.
You can't be old and still be like those uncles in their forties or fifties in the guild, sitting there drinking, bragging and looking at beautiful women every day, right?
Even though there is already a three-month-old child named Aska in the guild, Aska is taken care of by her mother Biska, and she is not a blood relative of his, so Makarov cannot hold her in his arms all the time.
"So... the president must be urging Laxus to get married now !" Kira thought so and couldn't help but move his feet and prick up his ears to listen to the gossip, and then he heard...
"Laxus, did you secretly change your pants in the lounge just now? I remember you didn't wear this pair when you went on the court just now..."
"Shut up, old man!!"
Kira frowned and stepped back, scratching his head in confusion: "It feels like there is so much information..."
It can be seen that Laxus was very unwilling to lose this duel, and it was very shameful, but no matter what, losing is losing. Even if the opponent used that kind of disgusting magic, since he lost to the opponent, he had to admit it!
Finding his own shortcomings and repairing them, and then constantly practicing magic to make himself stronger, this kind of thing is in line with Laxus's character!
The final battle of the Great Demon Fighting Exercise.
From 48 people on the first day, after seven days of competition, there are finally only two people left.
Of the two, if Kira lived up to expectations and easily won all the way to become one of the strong contenders for the winner, and getting to this point was within everyone's expectations, then Lacade was a pure dark horse.
He was unknown in the early stages until the last two days when he made a great effort and defeated three popular wizards, Urrutia, Natsu and Laxus, who had performed well in the previous few days, and went directly to the finals. It can be said that he made a big splash by not making a name for himself.
Kira and Lacade became the winner and semi-winner of this competition, but that was only a personal achievement. The Grand Magic Fighting Games was fundamentally a competition for the magic guild.
Up to now, whether in terms of scores, the number and quality of remaining wizards, or the impression in the minds of the audience, 'Fairy Tail' is undoubtedly the number one in the Kingdom of Fiore. This result is not surprising to the public. In their view, 'Fairy Tail' has always been number one, and this Grand Magic Tournament has only made it go from 'public choice' to 'official recognition'.
At the beginning of the competition, although the various magic guilds were also trying their best, they also knew in their hearts that no one could shake the strength and status of "Fairy Tail" - except for the "Emperor's Shield" led by August.
The Emperor's Shield, a newly-established guild consisting of twelve shields from the Albares Empire, which had only been established for less than three months and had never been known to the public before, had become the second largest magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore through a competition.
Ranked third is 'Snake Princess Scale', mainly because one of them is Jura who made it to the top four. Fourth is 'Witch's Sin', which had been advancing triumphantly until yesterday and was still active, but finally lost to the top three. Their strength is worthy of this ranking.
As for the bottom four, 'Four Headed Hounds', 'Crow's Tail', 'Dragon's Heart' and 'Blue Pegasus', their performances were basically mediocre, so even though they were ranked in the end, the audience didn't care much.
Mainly because they didn't have any outstanding games.
The one with the strongest overall strength among them would be 'Crow's Tail', but the two strongest wizards in this guild, one was defeated by Laxus, and the other was first defeated by Kira and then died together with his former subordinates. It's really a pity!
But luck is also part of strength. This kind of thing will happen in almost any competition mechanism. There will always be people who fail to be selected due to bad luck. This is an inevitable event. Whether or not it will happen is just a matter of probability. 'Crow's Tail' was just unlucky this time and happened to become a victim of this probabilistic event.
Let’s talk about the match between Kira and Lacade again. Since this was the last match of this Grand Magic Fighting Games, the entire venue was naturally packed with people.
On the field, two people who are about to have a decisive battle stand facing each other.
At this moment, Kira is in high spirits, with fluttering red hair. He is wearing a summer outfit with blue and white as the main colors and embroidered with white guild emblem patterns. The clothes are light but not thin. Even without wind, he looks refreshing and comfortable. The black guild emblem on his left arm adds a touch of coolness to his youthful aura, just like an elf prince who came to the human kingdom from the fairy forest.
Looking at his opponent Lacade, he has a holy temperament like a monk, a handsome face, a strong physique, and with his shirt half open, he has the potential to be a gigolo.
The magic used by Lakad was so special, so strange, and so attractive that it attracted many wealthy women, unsatisfied wives, and good girls of almost every age group in just one day. However, those who were attracted were ordinary people who could not use magic. In the eyes of the magicians, Lakad was just a very powerful person.
"What can a mere magic of desire do to me?" Kira held his head high, chest puffed out, back straight, his words full of confidence.
Laquette smiled and retorted, "But yesterday and today, two people from your guild have fallen to me. The most important thing is that they told me the same thing before the battle."
"Don't compare me with them. They are just too stupid and can't control themselves!"
Kira sneered and began to preach the lesson he learned from Makarov: "Listen to me! One of the differences between humans and animals is the restraint of physical desires. It is precisely because we can maintain rationality to the greatest extent, rather than indulge in desires, that we can build a long and powerful human civilization."
"Magic, technology, kingdoms, guilds, farming, trade, these things that influence the world cannot be formed by mere desires!"
Lacade was silent for a short while. It’s not that he couldn’t understand what Kira said. He even thought that what he said was correct, but... wasn’t it a bit off topic to say this?
"You mean to say... your two companions are animals?"
Kira: “…”
Could your reading comprehension be any worse?
"What I mean is that desire magic is not strong at all. It can even be said to be rubbish, because it is a kind of magic that is bound to be eliminated and defeated!"
"For a single person, overcoming desire is to overcome oneself, which can make people stronger; for mankind as a whole, overcoming desire can promote the progress of civilization, which is a natural evolution!"
