The Many Faces of the Guild Before the S-Class Exam

Unlike the frenzied atmosphere on the other side of the guild, which was almost enough to lift the roof off, Lisanna's little corner was exceptionally quiet and harmonious.

"Wow, Carla is amazing!"

Lisanna stared in amazement at the white kitten before her, and exclaimed in genuine admiration.

Just now, Carla only closed her eyes for a few seconds, and she accurately said the location of the limited edition novel that Levy secretly hidden.

"It's alright," Carla, puffing out her small chest with a hint of pride.

"Since people found out I have precognitive abilities, I've been able to control it a little better."

"That's already amazing!" Lisanna leaned closer, asking with a gossipy look on her face.

"Hey, Carla, can you predict who I'll marry in the future?"

"What about me?" Wendy, blushing, asked softly.

What will my body look like in the future?

"That's so far into the future, I can't see it." Carla shook her head.

She closed her eyes, sensed her surroundings, and then stretched out her little paw, pointing to Macao, who was sitting alone reading a newspaper not far away.

"However, let me see... Hmm, wait a bit, Wakaba will come over to talk to him about the young people in the guild."

Sure enough, as soon as Carla finished speaking, Wakaba, pipe in mouth, swayed over and plopped down opposite Macao.

Yo! Macao!

"It's that time of year again."

"Yes, it really brings back memories," Macao said, putting down his newspaper.

"We were like that when we were young."

But then, Wakaba's expression turned lewd. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "And you know, these young people these days are really something, especially their asses."

"You mean buttocks?" Macao was taken aback.

"Are you looking at breasts?" Wakaba retorted.

"I already have children, how can I still be staring at young girls' chests all day long?" Macao said with a serious face.

Wakaba then asked, "And what about the thighs?"

Macao's serious expression vanished instantly, replaced by a lewd grin. "Of course, I want to take a bite out of it, hahaha!"

Lisanna: "..."

She silently withdrew her gaze and gave Carla a dry laugh, "This ability is indeed very powerful, but... the content of their conversation was awful."

"Actually, it's nothing," Carla explained.

"Besides, sometimes I get misled by some unimportant information."

"That's already great, Carla," Wendy whispered to comfort her.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the guild grounds, a fierce battle was unfolding in a makeshift open space.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was incessant.

Having regained his original towering size, Panther Lily is wielding a greatsword and engaging in a sword duel with Erza.

Erza also changed into a set of swordsman's armor that allowed for easy movement, and wielded her longsword with impenetrable speed.

The two exchanged blows, their swords flashing, Boil the onlookers who cheered them on.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, with a soft sound, Panther Lily, who was fighting Erza, emitted a puff of white smoke and instantly transformed back into her kitten form.

Seeing this, Erza stopped in time, bringing the tip of her sword to a steady stop in front of Lily.

Let's stop here.

"Huff... huff..." Lily wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, panting.

"The magic power to maintain my original size is still too little."

"You're already very skilled," Erza said sincerely, sheathing her sword.

"His swordsmanship is superb."

"You are," Lily looked up at the powerful female swordsman, his eyes filled with admiration.

"As expected of the Titania Erza, her swordsmanship surpasses even yours from my world. Is this the strength of this guild's S-Class Mage?"

"How are you Erza?"

Gajeel, standing nearby, immediately smugly leaned over and boasted, "My partner, isn't he pretty strong!"

Seeing the two distinct states within the guild, Lucy was completely bewildered.

She walked to the bar and asked Mirajane, who was wiping glasses, with a puzzled look, "Mira, what's going on? Why are some people in the guild rushing to do quests, while others are still acting as usual?"

Mirajane winked at her, maintaining a mysterious smile, "You'll find out tomorrow, Lucy."

"Huh? We have to wait until tomorrow..."

Lucy sighed, then looked around as if she had remembered something.

"By the way, Sister Mira, wasn't Jiang Bai just next to you? How come he disappeared the moment I turned my head?"

"Oh, Xiao Bai," Mirajane's smile softened even more.

"He told me today that he had some extra money on hand, so he went and bought another house to spend."

"Buying a house again?!"

Lucy felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart.

Is the life of the wealthy really this simple, unpretentious, and boring?

This is truly his daily life, and her dream.

The following morning.

When Lucy arrived at the guild, still half asleep, she was immediately jolted awake by the sight before her.

"Wow, so many people!"

The entire guild hall was packed to the brim, a sea of heads, and the atmosphere was almost as lively as the annual Harvest Festival in Magnolia Town.

An indescribable atmosphere filled the air, a mixture of tension, excitement, and a hint of gunpowder.

"Hmm! It seems like all the guild members are here."

Wendy, holding Carla's hand, finally managed to squeeze through the crowded throng to Lucy's side.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the guild, Panther Lily, who had only officially joined a few days ago, was perched on Gajeel's shoulder, looking at this unusual scene with a puzzled expression.

"What happened?" Lily asked, puzzled.

Gajeel hadn't even been in this guild as long as Lucy, so he was naturally completely baffled by the situation.

With a nail in his mouth, he mumbled, "I don't know either."

The most eye-catching thing was the stage at the very front of the guild.

The stage, which was always open to everyone to sing and dance, was now completely covered by a huge dark curtain, making it impossible to see what was going on inside and adding to the mystery.

"I heard the president has something important to announce," Wendy whispered to Lucy and Carla beside her.

"I'm not interested at all." Carla crossed her arms, striking a haughty pose.

But her eyes, which kept glancing towards the stage, and her perked-up ears had already betrayed her inner curiosity.

Compared to the quietness here, Natsu next to Lucy seemed to have ADHD.

He jogged in place for a while, then waved his fists, his body radiating an almost uncontrollable fire, constantly muttering "Here it comes, here it comes," "It's finally coming."

"Natsu, calm down," Happy complained helplessly.

Looking at the others, Gray, though not as exaggerated as Natsu, still crossed his arms, a confident smile on his lips, and a burning fighting spirit in his eyes.

Elfman was the same, constantly clenching his fists and muttering, "A real man should be at the forefront!"

Lucy swallowed hard. The frenzied atmosphere in the guild yesterday, Cana's unusual dejection, and Mirajane's mysterious smile—all the clues connected at this moment.

"Finally... is the mystery about to be revealed?"

Her heart started pounding uncontrollably.

Juvia's heart was pounding... because she saw Lord Gray's confident figure...

Not far away, Juvia held her hands to her heart, her eyes sparkling with hearts, and her body twisted into a strange shape.

"Go back here!"

Amidst the noisy yet expectant wait, the entire guild suddenly fell silent.

"Whoosh!"

A crisp sound rang out.

The huge cloth covering the stage was suddenly untied and slid down instantly!

The scene on the stage was finally fully revealed to everyone.

Six figures stood there silently, exuding a powerful aura that was difficult to look directly at.

Standing in the very center, and at the very front, was none other than Makarov, the third guild master of Fairy Tail.

Behind him stood five mages, each a legendary figure in their guild.

From left to right, they are:

Jiang Bai, the strongest man in the guild.

Gildarts, also hailed as the strongest candidate, has been undertaking 100-Year Quest for many years.

Laxus, the Lightning Dragon Slayer Mage, made a special trip back to the guild!

Erza, the Titania and guild's disciplinary committee member.

And, the guild's signature lady, the Demon, Mirajane.

All the S-Class Mages currently existing in the Fairy Tail guild have gathered here at this moment!
