On the other side, a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the Raven Tail Guild.
Master Ivan stood in the center of the hall, his eyes gleaming with cunning, a triumphant smile on his lips.
"The time has come to drag Fairy Tail into darkness and judge them!" he hissed, his voice echoing throughout the Guild, making all the members tremble.
"Hehehe, heaven truly helps me! I can't believe the Council actually forbade Zorn from participating in the competition!"
Master Ivan let out a harsh, sinister laugh, secretly rejoicing in his heart.
All along, Zorn and Gildarts had been their biggest obstacles, but now this powerful opponent was banned from the competition, which undoubtedly gave them an excellent opportunity.
At this moment, Master Ivan was extremely excited; he could finally get his revenge on Fairy Tail.
Now, a turning point had finally arrived. Moreover, what made him even more ecstatic was that he had also learned that Gildarts was not in the Guild.
It should be known that Gildarts is one of the top powerhouses in Fairy Tail.
If he were present, this battle would probably become extremely difficult.
However, Master Ivan was now full of confidence. He knew that no one in the Fairy Tail Guild could rival him.
With his own strength and cunning, he believed he could easily defeat the opponent and achieve his revenge on Fairy Tail.

Fairy Tail
Training Ground
"Swift wind racing through the sky!"
Wendy shouted loudly, her voice echoing through the clouds. Her eyes sparkled with determination, and her hands were spread open, as if to embrace the whole world.
"Power Boost!" As her words fell, a powerful magical fluctuation emanated from her body.
This magic swept through like a whirlwind, and wherever it passed, everyone felt an invisible force being injected into their bodies.
"Increase everyone's attack power, defense, and speed!"
Wendy continued to chant the spell, her voice becoming increasingly impassioned. Under her control, the surrounding air seemed to become active, happily dancing and obeying Wendy's commands.
"All the air is under my command!" When the last sentence was spoken, Wendy's eyes became incredibly focused.
She poured her whole heart into this battle, unleashing her magic to its fullest.
At this moment, everyone's bodies emitted dazzling light, and their power was greatly enhanced.
Under the reinforcement of Wendy's magic, they were filled with confidence and courage, rushing towards Zorn opposite them with overwhelming momentum.
"Oh, she can simultaneously apply enchantments to so many people!"
Zorn looked at the scene before him in surprise, secretly admiring it. He had originally thought Wendy's strength was nothing special, but now it seemed that after this period of training, she had made astonishing progress.
"Wendy, it seems the training has been very effective, your magic is well used!" Zorn nodded in satisfaction, showing his approval and praise for Wendy. Just as he was about to say something more, suddenly, a sharp gust of wind came rushing from the side.
Zorn reacted quickly, dodging to the side and successfully avoiding the attack.
However, what he didn't expect was that another wave of attacks followed closely from the other side, with everyone's attacks directly blocking all his movements.
Facing attacks from both front and back, Zorn had no choice but to withdraw and fly into the sky.
When he stabilized himself, he immediately saw Natsu and Gajeel standing there, their faces filled with serious and focused expressions.
They stared intently at Zorn, their eyes revealing a strong sense of battle excitement.
Looking at their other companions, they were also poised and ready for battle at any moment.
However, Zorn suddenly noticed that one person seemed to be missing from the team...
"Take this!" Cana's eyes widened in fury, and she let out a roar, exuding a powerful aura from her entire body.
Her legs were wrapped in a layer of black Armament Haki, doubling her strength. Immediately after, she used all her might to deliver a front kick towards Zorn.
Facing this attack, Zorn dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly raised his arms, crossing them over his chest, attempting to block Cana's attack.
However,
With a loud "bang," Zorn flew backward like a kite with a broken string. In mid-air, his body suddenly exploded, turning into countless shimmering light particles.
"Clap clap..."
"Not bad, this coordination was decent, but this level is still far from enough!"
Just then, the dissipated light and shadow in mid-air began to fluctuate violently, and then Zorn's figure reappeared.
As he spoke, he clenched one hand into a fist, opening a massive gravity field, and instantly, several times the normal gravity surged towards everyone like a tide.
Surprisingly, despite such heavy pressure, several people remained firmly in place, maintaining their fighting stances, seemingly unaffected.
"A clone? When?" Cana in mid-air was shocked to discover that the Zorn they had attacked with all their might was merely a clone, and the real Zorn had long since hidden himself.
"It's not over yet!" Natsu roared upon seeing this, pushing off with his feet, and his body shot like lightning towards the revealed Zorn.
"Natsu, wait!" Gray anxiously called out, wanting to stop Natsu from acting impulsively.
However, Natsu was unstoppable at this point, only wanting to land a punch on Zorn.
Clearly, Zorn had left a deep impression on them during this training.
