Some cheers and shouts of surprise came from the audience.
Although many people had already forgotten Fairy Tail's strength and felt they were a bottom-tier guild, quite a few still remembered that Fairy Tail had once been the strongest mage guild in Fiore.
So, while the cheering wasn't particularly enthusiastic, it wasn't exactly small either.
Fairy Tail's cheering was the loudest and most excited.
"Mira, Mira! You're the best!"
"Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail! Charge, charge!!"
"Hahaha! Did you see that? This is a mage of our Fairy Tail!!"
Makarov shouted excitedly.
"So... so strong!!"
Gajeel had originally thought Mira was just a waitress; now it seemed she was far too terrifying.
"Is Miss Mira really this strong?"
Juvia was also shocked, her thoughts similar to Gajeel's.
Laxus said, "See? The women of this guild are not to be messed with."
"Splendid! Big sister!! A real man!!"
Elfman was moved to tears.
Back then, it was because of him that his sister couldn't use magic.
Seeing her able to use magic now, no one was happier than Elfman.
Mira returned to the resting area.
"Great job!"
Mira held her face in her hands.
"Oh my! It's been so long since I've used magic in front of so many people, it's really embarrassing."
"..."
Several people couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
When you were attacking, you looked like you wanted to tear the opponent apart with that ferocity; we didn't see a single trace of embarrassment then.
"Gulp! This... is this Mira? This is way too strong!!"
Lucy couldn't help but swallow hard.
She had heard Mira used to be an S-class mage and was surely strong, but this fighting style was too brutal and violent.
Gray said with a smile, "Mira used to fight Erza to a draw. She was known as 'Demon' Mira."
"Demon?!"
Lucy was shocked.
That title was terrifying, but looking at Mira like that, she really did seem like a demon.
Natsu was also excited.
"Now I can finally settle things with Mira!!"
Erza nodded with a smile in her eyes.
"Yeah! I'm actually a bit nostalgic."
Kael gave Mira a thumbs up.
Mira in her Take Over state truly had a unique charm; he would have to have a proper taste of that demoness's flavor next time.
[Next is the second battle: Ren Akatsuki of Blue Pegasus VS Arania Web of Mermaid Heel!]
The two fought against each other, and for a while, neither could gain the upper hand.
"It seems you've improved quite a bit compared to last year."
Ren looked at Arania with a smile on his face.
Over these seven years, he hadn't just been playing; he had also practiced hard.
After all, seven years ago he had been toyed with by the Oración Seis without being able to fight back, while Kael had easily defeated them.
He wouldn't allow such a massive gap to remain.
So, seven years of bitter cultivation had allowed his strength to increase significantly.
"Is it okay for a Pegasus member to attack a girl? Ren."
"Ren! What are you doing?! Hurry up and knock that woman down!"
Sherry shouted loudly at Ren.
"Don't cheer for the enemy team!!"
Granny Ooba said to Sherry with dissatisfaction.
Someone beside her said, "It doesn't matter, does it? Isn't he Sherry's fiancé? Cheering for him shouldn't be a problem!"
"Shut up! Go and spin!"
Granny Ooba flicked her finger, and the member began to spin constantly until their eyes were dizzy.
"You're full of openings, Ren-chan!"
Arania released a spider-web-like magic.
"Uwah!"
Ren was accidentally hit, but he immediately evaded after reacting.
"I... I'm not doing this for you. You're always clinging to me and making me flustered. But if you aren't by my side, I can't go all out."
"He's a tsundere!!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
"But since you're in front of me, I can't let you see me make a fool of myself."
"Aerial Phantasm!!"
Ren released his magic.
A ball of air with intense vibrations hit Arania.
"Waaaaaaaaah!!"
Arania was sent flying by Ren and crashed to the ground, losing her ability to fight.
[Winner: Ren Akatsuki of Blue Pegasus!!]
Enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.
Blue Pegasus's popularity was still quite high; not only was their strength formidable, but the guild was full of handsome men and beautiful women—except for Ichiya.
"When did those two get together!"
Lucy was surprised that Ren and Sherry had become a couple.
"Sure enough, this guy has gotten a lot stronger over seven years!"
Natsu watched with great interest, wanting to fight these guys too.
"I wonder if that Ichiya guy has gotten stronger too? Hehe!"
Erza looked at Natsu and said, "Natsu, what are you saying? Ichiya was strong from the very beginning. Although his personality is eccentric, there is no doubt he is the strongest mage in Blue Pegasus."
"What?!!"
Natsu, Gray, and Lucy were dumbfounded by Erza's words.
That Ichiya was actually the strongest mage in Blue Pegasus.
Kael nodded and said, "Erza is right. Ichiya is indeed the strongest in Blue Pegasus."
In terms of magic power, Ichiya's magic power was close to 7 stars, making him the strongest among the Pegasus members.
[Next, let's focus on today's third battle: Warcry of Quatro Cerberus VS Orga Nanagear of Sabertooth!!]
"It's him!!"
"It's Orga!!"
"Go for it!!" ...
The cheers from the audience suddenly became incredibly intense when Orga of Sabertooth appeared.
[Listen to those loud cheers!! He is so popular!!]
"That popularity... it's so high!"
Hearing the passionate cheers from the stands, Natsu couldn't help but marvel again.
Kael smiled and said, "Well, they are the strongest mage guild in Fiore right now, after all!"
"You can do it!! Warcry!!"
"Keep your soul—Wild!!"
Warcry's teammates from Quatro Cerberus were cheering him on.
"Oh! It's Warcry! I like that guy's magic..."
Sting looked down and teased.
"It's interesting magic, but I already have something better. There's no need to remember it."
[Today's third duel, begin!!]
The gong was struck.
Tears began to flow from Warcry's eyes.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Immediately after, he began to wail loudly, tears constantly streaming from his eyes.
[This is Warcry's Tear Magic!!]
"Tear Magic?!"
"What kind of magic is that?!"
"He's crying!!"
Many confused people were stunned when they saw Warcry crying.
"The more tears flow, the... stronger I become!!"
"BOOM—————!!"
Before Warcry could finish his sentence, a ball of black lightning blasted into his body.
[The battle is over!! Winner: Orga Nanagear!!!]
