Capital of the Fiore Kingdom
Crocus, the City of Flowers
Because it's the annual Mage festival— the Grand Magic Games —and this is the first time it's being held.
The Town was filled with Mages and spectators from all over the Fiore Kingdom, and even other Kingdoms were invited to watch this grand performance.
Every street in the city was decorated with colorful flowers and wondrous Magic, making it look like a dream. From the top of the Royal Palace, the entire city looked like a giant sea of flowers.
On the western peak of the Capital lies the arena for the Grand Magic Games — Domus Flau.
At that moment, a huge golden Magic Circle suddenly rose slowly in the center of the square, emitting a dazzling light that instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.
People stopped to watch, their mouths agape in astonishment. When they saw the figure appear within the Magic Circle, gasps of amazement rippled through the crowd.
"It's Fairy Tail!" someone shouted excitedly.
"It's the number one Fairy Tail in the Fiore Kingdom! They're incredibly powerful!" another person exclaimed excitedly.
"I heard that this Grand Magic Games was proposed because other Fairy Tail were dissatisfied with them!" someone else chimed in.
"Haha, it seems like first place is a foregone conclusion. This is going to be interesting!" Everyone discussed among themselves, their faces showing anticipation.
However, at that moment, a discordant voice rang out. "Damn it~ It's not certain who will win yet! The winner will definitely be our Sabertooth!" It was Sting who spoke. He had overheard everyone's conversation and was very dissatisfied, so he shouted it out loud.
"Exactly!" Sting's cat perched on his shoulder echoed, seemingly showing strong support for its master's opinion.
"Frosch thinks so too!" Frosie in the frog suit, leaned on Rogue's shoulder and whispered in agreement.
Sting and Rogue, who were strolling through the Capital, were immediately drawn to the enormous Magic Circle.
Without saying a word, Sting dragged Rogue over to join in the fun.
"Oh? Are they also Exceed like us, Carla?" Happy suddenly pointed at the two adorable kittens, Lecro and Frosch West, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Mm!" Carla nodded, but her gaze remained fixed on the two kittens, as if she were observing something.
"So, they must be Dragon Slayer too!" Lily, looking at the two lively and adorable children, added thoughtfully.
Zorn naturally heard the shouts of the two children opposite him. He turned around, waved at them, and smiled confidently, replying loudly, "Haha, not bad! It's good to be confident! But winning a competition isn't an easy thing!"
The Fairy Tail members all smiled as they watched the two energetic and confident children.
At this moment, everyone was moved by their belief in their Fairy Tail, and a feeling of identification welled up in their hearts.
These children demonstrate a deep love for their Fairy Tail, and this genuine emotion is the most precious thing.
"Goodbye, kids! Let's settle this on the field!" Zorn laughed heartily, then led his Fairy Tail crew toward the hotel they had booked in advance.
Honestly, these two little devils, looking back now, had pretty good personalities when they were kids.
Furthermore, Rogue, who is usually not very talkative, doesn't seem to have the obsessive personality portrayed in the anime.
Is your memory still functioning normally?
Could it be because that person hasn't traveled from the future yet...?
Or rather, has the future already changed?
Zorn focused all his attention on Rogue, but after noticing anything unusual, he casually looked away and shook his head, indicating that he wouldn't pay attention to the matter for the time being.
"Oh my, this is my first time in the capital! It's really great!" Natsu rested his head on his hands, excitedly looking around and admiring every scene in the big city. "Ah!" Happy chimed in.
"This is my first time here too, it's so bustling!" Wendy was also very happy.
"Haha, once you get to the hotel, put your things away first, and then you can go and explore to your heart's content! I'll take care of all the competition paperwork!" Zorn said with a smug smile.
Because he used Magic to directly locate the capital, he wasted almost no time along the way, and there was still plenty of time left in the game.
Therefore, it's fine to let them play for a while.
Once they arrived at the hotel and everything was arranged, everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
"Yoshi, let's go on an adventure! Happy, Lucy, let's go!" Natsu excitedly rushed out of the hotel first.
"Yay!" Lucy was overjoyed.
During her three months
Even Cana happily chatted and laughed with Éclair, Ultear, Levy, and the other girls as they walked together.
Juvia, however, secretly followed behind Gray, murmuring sadly, "Lord Gray, why don't you want Juvia to come with you? Juvia wants to see who you'll be with!"
When Zorn went downstairs, he found that the Third Generation Guild Master, Makarov, had vanished without a trace. Zorn shook his head helplessly.
Since the old man resigned from his position Guild Master, he has completely let loose and often drinks and fools around with Wakaba and Macao.
However, Laxus leaned lazily against the pillar with a very serious expression, as if he was waiting for him on purpose.
"Hey, Laxus! Are you coming with me to handle the competition paperwork? Are you worried I might run into some danger?"
"How thoughtful!"
Seeing this, Zorn teased.
To be honest, every time Zorn saw Laxus's serious and meticulous appearance, Zorn couldn't help but want to tease him.
"You idiot, be serious!" Laxus clenched his fist, and lightning surged from it.
He seemed to realize that Zorn's personality was exactly like the old man's, as if it were contagious.
"Hahaha!" Zorn couldn't help but burst into laughter. He was always exceptionally happy whenever he saw Laxus get angry and embarrassed.
Competition Registration Office
"Hello, Fairy Tail's registration is complete. Here are the competition rules, please keep them safe!" The registrar politely handed Zorn a thick book of competition rules.
"Thank you, Laxus, let's go back!" Zorn put away his books and prepared to return to the hotel with Laxus.
Laxus paused, glancing at the green-haired Orga among the group that had entered— the Lightning God Slayer Magic.
Both seemed to sense the familiar Magic Power properties emanating from the other, and there was a hint of lightning power surging within them.
It was obvious that the other side had deliberately blocked Zorn and his companion.
"Oh, this must be Zorn, one of the Ten Wizard Saints! I have been so rude!"
Minerva said it was rude, but her actions remained arrogant, showing no sign of rudeness.
