Magic is prevalent in the Fiore Kingdom, and many more powerful wizards are born here than in other countries on the continent.
Regarding the Ten Wizard Saints, Fiore holds several seats.
Fairy Tail's Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar.
Phantom Lord's Guild Master, Jose Porla.
Lamia Scale's Jura Neekis.
It is said that one of the Four Gods of Ishgar was also born in the Fiore Kingdom.
Since nearly half of the seats of the Ten Wizard Saints are held by those born in Fiore, the Magic Council is naturally not going to give the title of Wizard Saint to Kael so easily.
"Hmph! Those guys, I really don't know if they are wizards or politicians. In the magic world, strength is king. Since his strength is great, he should be given the title of Wizard Saint. Seeing a Wizard Saint being trampled like this, the ones losing face are them."
Indeed, the Ten Wizard Saints were selected by the Magic Council. If they were defeated by someone else, the authority of the Magic Council would naturally be the one to suffer.
The Ten Wizard Saints can almost be said to be a symbol representing national power. It is precisely because Fiore possesses several Wizard Saints, along with numerous wizard guilds, that other countries do not dare to provoke the Fiore Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, regarding the battle portion of the second day, do you have any requests?"
"Well... although I really want to continue seeing Kael's other combat forms, he has already appeared. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to appear again, and we also need to balance the score gap between the teams."
"Right! I want to see Bacchus! Add Bacchus to the duel groups!"
"Understood. Which group do you want to see him fight against?"
"The one from Fairy Tail... the person who can change clothes. I can't quite remember the name. E... E..."
"I understand. I will go and arrange it. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
"Thank you for your hard work, Knight Captain. Get some good rest."
The hotel where Fairy Tail is staying.
"Bring it on!!"
Natsu shouted excitedly. Max was lying on the ground with his pants pulled down.
"Amazing! Natsu!!"
"You're so weak! Max!!"
Macao and Wakaba cheered upon seeing Natsu easily bully Max.
"Why, after only 3 months, has he become this strong!"
"What exactly were our seven years for!"
Warren and Vijeeter looked shocked and unwilling. In order to change Fairy Tail's current situation over these seven years, they had also cultivated hard and worked to become stronger.
As a result, Max, who could still suppress Natsu three months ago, was now completely helpless in front of him. This was simply too unfair.
Seeing this, Kael also shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself: This is the gap between talents!
Natsu is the male protagonist of the Fairy Tail anime, and Erza and the others are also part of the main group.
In just three short months, they could surpass the seven years of effort put in by others.
Although Max isn't particularly strong, he isn't weak either. If placed in other wizard guilds, he would be a powerful mid-tier wizard.
Kael had already prepared himself mentally for this. His own magical talent was average, and it was only with the help of the system that he could stay ahead of Natsu and the others.
If he relied purely on his own talent, he might just be a small-fry wizard.
"Interesting. I'll be your opponent."
Gajeel's hands also felt a bit itchy after seeing this.
Laxus stopped him: "Stop it! If you and Natsu start fighting, it won't be just a game anymore."
Gajeel patted Laxus's head with some surprise: "Oho! You've become quite well-behaved, Laxus."
"Don't do that, Gajeel!"
Seeing this, Levy quickly hugged Gajeel, trying to pull him away. Although Laxus's strength was slightly inferior to Kael's, he was still a monster-level fighter. If Laxus got angry, Gajeel wouldn't have a good time.
"..."
Laxus said nothing, treating it as compensation for when he had beaten Gajeel before.
Freed was unhappy seeing this: "You guy! How dare you treat Laxus like that!! Laxus's personal guards!! Thunder Legion, assemble!!!"
Freed shouted loudly, but Bickslow and Evergreen were already dead drunk and had crawled under the table.
"Haha! How useless!"
Cana said with a giggle.
"You're quite strong! How about a match with me?"
At this moment, a man walked over, placed a glass of wine on the table, and spoke to Cana.
"Oh? Although I don't know who you are, you want to compete with me in drinking?"
Cana also became interested. When it came to just drinking, she had never yielded to anyone.
"Hey! I don't know who you are, but you should just give up!"
"Don't let her looks fool you, this girl is a monster!"
Seeing this, Macao and Wakaba quickly tried to advise him.
However, the other party ignored their warnings and began drinking glass for glass with Cana.
After a short while, Cana fell down drunk on the floor.
"You're lying?!"
"Is this for real?!"
"Cana lost a drinking contest?!"
"This is the first time I've seen Cana fall."
"Who exactly is this guy?"
The members of Fairy Tail were all shocked by this sight.
"Bacchus?"
Erza called out the other party's name after seeing him.
"Yo! Isn't this Erza? Long time no see. You're still as much of a beauty as ever!"
Bacchus turned around and saw Erza.
"Erza, do you know him?"
"Yes, he is an S-class wizard from Quatro Cerberus. I ran into him a few times while working and we even fought, but it ended in a draw."
"What?! He's a match for Erza?!"
Lucy couldn't help but be surprised. To be a match for Erza seven years ago, how powerful must his current strength be.
"What are you doing here?"
"Nothing much. I just heard that Fairy Tail has returned, so I stopped by to take a look. I watched today's match, you know. It really made my soul boil. The one called Kael, right? He's really amazing!"
"Then are you here to challenge Kael?"
Bacchus quickly waved his hands: "You've got to be joking! Although wine makes a coward brave, no matter how much courage I have, I wouldn't dare after seeing today's match! I just came to take a look, that's all. I didn't expect to run into such a heavy-drinking lady. Wahahahaha."
"You don't seem to be participating in the Grand Magic Games this time." Erza remembered not seeing Bacchus during the opening ceremony.
"Wahahahaha! I originally intended to leave it to the youngsters this time and not appear myself. But seeing the miserable state War Cry was in, I really couldn't just stand by. I guess this is what you call the soul of a man, so I joined as a reserve member. Hic!"
"If we run into each other after tomorrow, let's continue our unfinished match. The soul will forever be... Wild..."
"...For..."
"You really aren't playing along, hahahaha!"
