"Um, you guys..." Upon seeing this, the staff member's expression instantly turned sour, and he quickly tried to step forward to dissuade the two groups.
She knew all too well that if the two Fairy Tail were to engage in a private fight here before the competition, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable!
He absolutely cannot let this happen!
However, just as he was about to take a step, Zorn and Laxus appeared like lightning, flashing past and arriving at the door in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, Lightning Dragon Slayer Mage and Minerva stood motionless in the hall.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the two men's previously arrogant expressions had been completely replaced by disbelief. They struggled with all their might, trying to move their bodies, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make even the slightest movement.
"Damn it, I can't move my body..." The two were filled with anger, but they were powerless to do anything about it.
They could only watch helplessly as Zorn and his companion left.
Zorn glanced back with ill intent, then stepped out of the hall and disappeared from everyone's sight along with Laxus.
After Zorn and Laxus left, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
No one had yet recovered from what had just happened; it was as if time had frozen at that moment.
Shock and confusion were written on everyone's faces; no one knew what had happened.
What happened? In just a moment, why were two people already gone?
Moreover, why are the two people in the hall, with their ferocious expressions, completely motionless?
A moment later.
With a crisp "crack" sound, the two finally broke free.
"So this is the true power of the Ten Wizard Saints! I've witnessed it firsthand!" Minerva clenched her fists tightly, and a powerful spatial fluctuation surged from her hands.
Her thoughts were still lingering on the scene she had just witnessed.
In the blink of an eye, the space around them was completely sealed off and imprisoned.
They didn't even know how the other party did it, because she was using a high-level Spatial Magic called "Absolute Territory," which allowed her to manipulate space at will.
There are only two possibilities.
One possibility is that the other party's mastery of Spatial Magic far surpasses hers.
Another possibility is that the opponent's Magic Power directly overwhelms them, brutally pressing down on them, yet they can still control it meticulously so as not to affect others.
Either way, it made her feel terrified.
However, none of this matters; the rules set by the Magic Council will keep Fairy Tail in check.
All they need to do is utilize the rules!
As S-Class Mage in the Fairy Tail, this feeling of being powerless to resist was a real blow to her strong sense of self-respect.
This matter will not be left to rest.
Anyway, the rules of the competition state that he can't easily make a move, and I don't believe that all the members of the Fairy Tail Fairy Tail are that strong!
And our Fairy Tail isn't one to be trifled with either.
Minerva pondered to herself as she turned to face the doorway, her gaze fixed intently on Fairy Tail's Residence.
"Orga, during the match, you're in charge of dealing with that guy who manipulates lightning!" She turned her head, stared coldly at Orga beside her, and gave the order without any politeness.
"Yes, Miss!" Orga replied respectfully.
On the other side
The Fairy Tail members were in Town, some strolling around, others eating.
Gray, however, headed towards the direction of the Lamia Scale Guild.
"Lord Gray, what's wrong... do you have a lover now?!" Juvia lay behind a Utility Pole, looking at Gray with a mournful expression.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she kept her eyes on Gray's figure, nimbly hopping back and forth, stealthily following behind him.
"We agreed to meet, but there's still no sign of him!" Gray rubbed his rumbling stomach and looked around, but still couldn't see Lyon.
My stomach started growling again, so I couldn't help but complain, "If it doesn't come soon, I'm going to go eat!"
Upon hearing the word "eat," Juvia immediately conjured up an image in her mind: Gray sitting with a strange Woman, eating intimately, and then laughing and chatting as they walked into a room together...
Overwhelmed by the thought, Juvia could no longer bear the image and suddenly cried out, "No... I don't want to..."
This immediately drew Gray's attention.
"Juvia? What brings you here?" Gray asked, puzzled.
"This... this... I... I'm hungry, I want to eat!" Juvia stammered, embarrassed.
Inwardly, however, she was groaning: Oh dear, I can't tell Lord Gray that I followed him here, or my image will be completely ruined!
Oh right, let's just say we're having dinner. That way, I can legitimately spend time with Lord Gray. I'll definitely have to give that guy a good talking to then!
At this moment, the little figure in Juvia's heart seemed to become incredibly powerful, filled with fighting spirit.
She secretly made up her mind!
"To be honest, there's a really great restaurant on this street!" A cool voice suddenly came from behind.
Almost reflexively, her body swiftly pulled the stiff Juvia into her arms, then turned and walked towards the restaurant.
"Um... Lyon? No way!" Juvia was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth; she never expected to run into him here.
Lyon flashed a confident, handsome expression, a charming smile playing on his lips. His gaze was fixed intently on Juvia, and he said softly, "This is a restaurant connected to the Aquarium. It's quite avant-garde, really nice! Join me for dinner, Juvia."
"Hey, you bastard, don't just take our Fairy Tail members away like that!" Gray's roar echoed in the air.
Hearing Gray's call, Lyon paused for a moment, but quickly resumed his pace.
The gentle tone he had used when speaking to Juvia instantly transformed into a steady and firm one, "I heard you're also participating in the Grand Magic Games tournament— Gray!"
Gray's previously somewhat vulnerable expression vanished instantly, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Lyon was no easy opponent.
"We [Lamia Scale] will surely win!" Lyon shouted confidently, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.
"Gray, I am no longer the same person I was when I defeated the Oración Seis!" Lyon continued, releasing his magical Magic Power as he spoke.
In just a moment.
The temperature around us plummeted, as if we had entered a harsh winter.
The ground was quickly covered with Green Ice, emanating a biting chill.
"Furthermore, one of the Ten Wizard Saints from our Fairy Tail, Mr. Jura, will also be making an appearance!" Lyon proudly declared once again.
His voice conveyed confidence in his team's abilities.
Upon hearing Lyon's words, Gray raised an eyebrow slightly and began to unleash his own Magic Power.
A powerful Magic Power, no less potent than Lyon's, erupted instantly. Blue and Green Ice intertwined, creating a fierce confrontation.
Gray's lips curled into a wicked smile, "Sorry, Lyon. My Magic Power is no less powerful than yours!"
Juvia, standing to the side, was completely stunned. Her head swayed back and forth, and her face showed confusion.
Juvia was utterly bewildered as he watched the two brothers clash once again.
She simply couldn't understand what was going on.
Hey, hey, hey, we need to eat!
