Fantasia Parade

As the smoke of the civil war cleared, the town of Magnolia was quickly rekindled by the joyous atmosphere of the Harvest Festival.

As night fell, the annual "Fantasia Parade," the climax of the celebration, kicked off amidst great anticipation.

The streets were packed with residents and tourists from all over the Kingdom of Fiore, waving their hands and beaming with excitement and anticipation as they waited for Fairy Tail to present them with the most spectacular magical feast.

"Look! It's here! It's Fairy Tail's parade float!"

Someone shouted from the crowd, instantly igniting everyone's enthusiasm.

Guided by dazzling magical lights, a huge sightseeing vehicle decorated in vibrant colors slowly drove in.

Standing at the very front of the float was none other than Makarov, the guild leader.

But at this moment, he no longer possessed the majesty of the Ten Wizard Saints Mages. Instead, he was dressed in a ridiculous clown costume, sporting a huge red nose, and was energetically twisting his short body, winking and making all sorts of exaggerated faces at the children around him.

Haha! That old man is so funny!

"Mom, look! Grandpa Clown is smiling at me!"

The children's innocent laughter filled the air, and Makarov's smile grew even brighter.

For him, nothing is more healing than the smiles of children.

Immediately afterwards, Gray and Juvia appeared on the central stage of the float.

"Watch closely, Juvia."

Gray took a deep breath and struck a cool pose in front of his chest as the starting stance for Molding Magic attack.

"Ice-themed Eternal Castle!"

A chill instantly spread, and countless crystalline ice crystals rapidly condensed in the air. In the blink of an eye, a magnificent and ingeniously crafted ice crystal castle rose from the ground, refracting a dreamlike seven-colored light under the illumination of the magic lamps.

Wow! So beautiful!

"Such a huge castle was built in just a moment!"

The surrounding residents gasped in amazement.

Gray nodded somewhat awkwardly to Juvia, whose eyes were sparkling with wonder.

Juvia immediately understood. She pushed her hands forward, and a gentle stream of water flowed from her palms, like a living ribbon, swirling and dancing around the ice crystal castle.

"Now!"

Gray gave a low shout and cast the spell again, instantly freezing the swirling water.

On the crystal-clear ice band, several huge letters are clearly visible: 'Fairy Tail'.

Natsu, following behind the float, used his most skillful method to announce the guild's existence to the sky.

He took a deep breath, then tilted his head back and exhaled, sending a scorching flame soaring into the sky and exploding in the night, forming a string of burning 'Fairy Tail' that lingered for a long time.

The next program features two of the guild's top female mages.

Erza, Mira, are you really not coming with me?

"My show is absolutely the grand finale; I guarantee you'll be the coolest kids on the block."

Jiang Bai was still making a final effort inside the car.

Erza and Mirajane exchanged a smile.

"No, Xiao Bai," Mirajane gently straightened his collar.

"We're also really looking forward to your new ideas, so let us warm things up for you first."

Erza nodded in agreement. "That's right, your stage should be reserved for you to shine."

After saying that, Erza made her entrance first, donning a magnificent "Heaven's Wheel Armor" amidst a dazzling display of light.

Countless swords swirled and danced around her, accompanying her agile figure as she performed a sword dance on stage that perfectly combined strength and beauty, dazzling the audience.

Mirajane then brought along her brother Elfman, staging a classic "Beauty and the Beast" scene.

Elfman Take Over the "Beast King's Soul," transforming into a gigantic beast that unleashed a terrifying Roar.

Mirajane, dressed in an elegant gown, soothed the "beast's" frenzy with her gentle singing.

A human and a beast danced gracefully on stage, their adorable contrast captivating the audience.

Finally, amidst everyone's eager anticipation, the spotlight shone brightly on the center of the stage, and Jiang Bai's figure slowly appeared.

He changed into a modern black outfit, a confident and flamboyant smile on his face.

Behind him were Laxus and Freed, who had also changed into black dancer outfits.

Laxus and Freed both looked stiff and unnatural, especially Laxus. Making him dance in front of the whole town was even more painful than having to fight Jiang Bai again.

But what could he do? He was in the wrong.

Jiang Bai had approached him in the guild earlier and brought up this absurd idea.

"Laxus, I've always had this idea of dancing in a parade. I have my own background music, but I've been missing a cool lightning effects artist. You know how to use lightning, right? Can you help me out?"

"You want me... to be your backup dancer?" Laxus's voice changed.

"Otherwise what? You damaged the church, shouldn't you make some contribution to the guild to make amends?" Jiang Bai said matter-of-factly.

"I also invited Freed, but let's skip Bickslow, he's too ugly."

Looking into Jiang Bai's unquestionable eyes, and remembering the grave mistake he had made, Laxus finally agreed in humiliation.

"Drop!"

Jiang Bai snapped his fingers.

A burst of highly rhythmic and futuristic electronic music suddenly resounded throughout the entire square.

This was an unprecedented auditory shock for the residents who were used to listening to melodious folk songs, and everyone was stunned.

Just then, Jiang Bai made a move.

His body moved in sync with the music, executing a series of clean, crisp, and explosive movements.

Laxus and Freed behind him, like his shadows, perfectly replicated his every move.

The three of them moved with the power of tigers descending a mountain at times, and the rhythm of ghostly gliding steps at others.

"My God! How did they do that? Their movements are exactly the same!"

"That's so cool! What kind of dance is that? I've never seen it before!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

Laxus himself was filled with turmoil.

He found his body completely out of his control, manipulated by an invisible force, making him perform dance moves with incredible precision.

Is this... Jiang Bai's unfathomable Telekinesis? The level of precision it achieves is astounding!

Just as the dance reached its climax, Jiang Bai gave Laxus a wink.

Laxus understood immediately, and with a wave of his hands, countless fine golden laces spread out from his palms.

Like a living serpent, it weaves and coils between the three dancers, exploding into dazzling sparks with each frozen moment of their movements.

"Crackling and popping!"

The powerful dance, coupled with wild and gorgeous lightning effects and dynamic background music, brought an unparalleled audio-visual feast to all the audience members present!

At this moment, the atmosphere in Magnolia was pushed to its absolute peak!

Fairy Tail! The strongest!

"Jiang Bai! Jiang Bai!"

The thunderous cheers drowned out everything.
