"We won!"
Everyone cheered after seeing the Blue Pegasus members disappear. This final battle was so easy; they barely exerted any effort.
Of course, this doesn't mean the Blue Pegasus guild isn't strong. It's just that, unlike Fairy Tail's passionate battles, those guys never take things too seriously unless they're flirting with girls.
The announcer's voice rang out: "Fairy Tail Second Team versus Blue Pegasus! Fairy Tail Second Team wins, earning five points for a total of 42 points!"
At this moment, a golden gate opened. Everyone looked on with anticipation and rushed inside.
After a flash of light, Acnologia and the others appeared in the center of the Grand Magic Games arena.
"Fairy Tail Second Team is out too!"
"Both teams have advanced, that's so cool!"
The seven members of Acnologia's team looked at the cheering audience, filled with shock. They hadn't realized it inside, but it was truly lively outside.
Lucy exclaimed excitedly, "We're out! We passed the preliminaries!"
Fairy Tail First Team, who had already emerged, was in the distance. Gray laughed and said, "You guys are so slow. We came out an hour before you."
Laxus crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "Is this speed even worthy of Fairy Tail?"
"We encountered experts! Being faster than us doesn't necessarily mean being stronger!"
Gajeel was slightly annoyed. They were already fast enough, but he didn't expect these guys to be even faster. How did they do it?
Natsu laughed and said, "Let's decide it in the finals!"
Erza waved from a distance and said with a happy smile, "I'll see if you've improved by then."
"Well done, kids!"
"Our Fairy Tail is the strongest!"
Makarov, in the stands in the distance, cheered with everyone, and the First Master also happily waved her hands.
Subsequently, guild teams successively achieved victory. Three hours flew by, and all ten strongest guilds had emerged.
The host, Jellal Fernandez, passionately shouted, "Next, we announce the qualifying teams..."
"First place: Fairy Tail First Team, with a total of 50 points!"
"Second place: Grimoire Heart, with a total of 48 points!"
"Third place: Sabertooth, with a total of 47 points!"
"Fourth place: Raven Tail, with a total of 46 points!"
"Fifth place: Mermaid Heel, with a total of 45 points!"
"Sixth place: Lamia Scale, with a total of 44 points!"
"Seventh place: Fairy Tail Second Team, with a total of 42 points!"
"Eighth place: Blue Pegasus, with a total of 41 points!"
"Ninth place: Blue Pegasus, with a total of 40 points!"
"Tenth place: Crime Sorcière, with a total of 37 points!"
"Let's give them the warmest applause!"
As the host's voice fell, the entire arena erupted in thunderous applause, cheers, and shouts, as if to overturn the entire venue.
Jenny Realight said speechlessly, "Our guild was eliminated so quickly!"
Hibiki Laytis said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do, that's Fairy Tail."
Ichiya said handsomely, "Men!"
The trio from Crime Sorcière walked over and greeted them, "Hello there!"
Gray was somewhat shocked to see the three waving at them: "Jellal, Ultear, Meredy, why are you here?"
He hadn't expected Crime Sorcière to also participate. Even though these three were ranked last, they all possessed Ten Wizard Saints-level strength and were terrifying.
Jellal said with a helpless expression, "Originally, I didn't want to come."
However, his teammates loved to vote when facing such matters, and Meredy agreed to whatever Ultear said. With two votes against one, he, the guild master, became a powerless employee.
He was already thinking of recruiting two male members. The previous Oración Seis had been sent to prison, and he had no other ideas.
Ultear held a crystal ball and said with a smile, "This Grand Magic Games doesn't restrict guilds, so we came to join the fun too!"
Meredy, looking well-behaved, waved her little fist: "We won't lose to you guys, you know."
Laxus said confidently, "That's exactly what I want. I didn't get to fight you last time, so this time I'll see what you're capable of."
Ultear retorted, "Then you'd better be careful, don't cry for your mommy if you lose."
"Stupid woman, what did you say?"
"Blondie, do I need to say it again?"
"I think you don't know the power of my lightning. When we're in the arena, I'll make you kneel and beg for mercy."
"What big words, tasteless blondie, still wearing those broken headphones, trying to act cool!"
"Don't be too arrogant..."
"Come and hit me, do you dare...?"
Everyone saw the two at loggerheads and quickly pulled them apart. It wouldn't matter if these two fought like crazy, but if they were disqualified, it would be over.
Lucy, on the other side, was very happy, waving to the other guilds. Except for Sword Guild, which she didn't know well, she had met the others more or less.
She said with some curiosity, "I didn't expect Sword Guild to be just two girls. They actually managed to win eight consecutive matches and get this far."
Gajeel said confidently, "I alone can beat both of them."
Elfman flexed a muscle: "A man shouldn't hit girls."
"Stop bragging!"
Irene scoffed and said indifferently, "It's not that I'm trying to discourage you, but even if you all went together, you wouldn't be able to defeat that pink-haired woman."
Everyone was immediately shocked: "Even if we all went together, we wouldn't be able to defeat her?"
Are those two pink-haired twin sisters that strong? Besides their cold demeanor, nothing else stood out.
Acnologia smiled and said, "I know one of them. She was Ikaruga of Trinity Raven. Her Moonless Style sword techniques could easily shatter Erza's armor."
"That sounds terrifying!" Lucy was incredibly shocked. No one who could be compared to Erza was simple.
Natsu said, full of fighting spirit, "If I can defeat her, doesn't that mean I can defeat Erza?"
Irene looked at the slightly more mature pink-haired woman and said, "I heard about her in the Alvarez Empire on the Western Continent. She's ranked second among the Spriggan 12, Chine, The Sword of Ultimate Dao."
"Spriggan 12 second!"
Everyone was incredibly shocked.
They had heard Irene talk about those powerhouses. Each of them was on the level of the Four Gods of Ishgar. God Serena, who defected, was only ranked sixth in terms of strength.
This Chine of Ultimate Dao is ranked second. How strong is she exactly?
Chine also noticed the scrutinizing gazes. Her eyes swept over Lucy and the others, finally settling on Acnologia, then she retracted her gaze.
Ikaruga whispered, "Sister, that blue-haired man is the one who defeated me."
After being defeated by Acnologia last time, she felt her sword heart shattered, and then she went to the Western Continent to find her twin sister.
Actually, she didn't want revenge. The gap between them was so vast, and the opponent had even shown mercy, so she held no hatred in her heart, only feeling that she was truly useless.
Her sister saw her so dejected after being defeated, so she took her to the training ground and drilled her for half a year. Now, she had finally re-condensed her sword heart and become even stronger.
"Even my sword is wary. No wonder you lost."
Chine nodded slightly. She was very interested in the person who defeated her sister. The Grand Magic Games in the Fiore Kingdom were happening, so she came to watch.
Ikaruga was somewhat shocked: "Even you can't guarantee a win?"
She knew her sister's strength well. The gap in their swordsmanship talent was like heaven and earth.
"What's so strange about that...?"
Chine stroked her hair and said with a smile, "There are countless experts in this world. Not just Acnologia, but even that scarlet-haired woman gives me immense pressure."
She also didn't expect Ishgar to have so many experts. It seems God Serena was exaggerating a bit about being the strongest in Ishgar; at least four people present were not inferior to him.
