Chapter Summaries

George watched Sabertooth advance in the preliminaries and recognized Orga’s God Slayer Magic as a kind of Lost Magic. Before the individual competition, he used his master-level alchemy to enhance the guild members’ weapons, leaving Alzack and Bisca with dramatically stronger guns and giving Marcus and Laki wands.

• Sabertooth’s Orga instantly defeated a Mechanical Magic Gorilla with God Slayer Magic, drawing George’s interest in learning the different kinds of lightning magic.
• The preliminary battles ended with thirty teams advancing, and George met with Fairy Tail’s four competitors to discuss the next day’s individual competition.
• George told the four that they should prepare to improve their strength and examined the magical guns used by Alzack and Bisca.
• George enchanted Alzack’s and Bisca’s guns with lightning and fire, then took them outside the city to test the weapons.
• Alzack and Bisca blasted apart a small mountain with their upgraded guns, and George handed wands to Marcus and Laki.

George prepared Marcus, Laki, and two other Fairy Tail mages for the Grand Magic Games by giving them powerful magical equipment. The four entered the next day’s individual matches with amplified magic, protective cloaks, and Steel Monsters, while George planned to raise the combat power of the guild’s remaining mages after the games.

• George gave Marcus and Laki mass-produced wands that increased their magical power, and they tested them with Sand Wave and The Two's Love, Everlasting and Unchanging.
• George restored the damaged training ground with Repair Magic and gave the four mages enchanted cloaks that provided invisibility and shields.
• George handed each mage a Magic Space Box containing twenty Steel Monsters and explained how to control them.
• George encouraged the four to rest before the individual matches, confident they could defeat opponents below S-Class.
• George returned to his room, planning to make all thirty remaining Fairy Tail mages capable of S-Class combat after the Grand Magic Games.

On the second day of the Grand Magic Games, George suspected the royal family had manipulated the matchups before he was paired with Sabertooth’s Orga. George easily absorbed Orga’s black lightning and sent it back at him, leaving the match unresolved as the chapter ended.

• The rules for the individual matches were announced, and George considered investigating the kingdom’s transportation magic and searching for clues about Time Magic.
• The first-round draw paired George with Orga, prompting George to suspect that the royal family had rigged the matchups to create exciting, balanced fights.

• Orga attacked George with God Slayer Magic: Black Lightning Ball, but the lightning bounced off George without harming him.
• George compressed Orga’s black lightning into an azure sphere and threw it back, telling Orga he was inferior even to Laxus.

George defeated Sabertooth’s Orga in the first Group One match of the Grand Magic Games, earning Fairy Tail ten points. Orga was sent to the infirmary, and the other arena matches later concluded after much closer fights.

• Minerva used her spatial magic to transfer the unconscious Orga to the infirmary, and George noted her long-distance teleportation ability.
• The other nine arenas finished their fiercely contested matches, including one battle decided after both mages exhausted their magic.

Fairy Tail's Laki, Marcus, and Bisca won their individual matches, putting the guild at the top of the rankings with forty points. In the final group, Alzack faced Sabertooth's leader Jellal, a top-tier S-Class Mage, and George warned him not to feel pressured.

• George encouraged Laki before she defeated Berrick with one attack, earning ten points for Fairy Tail.

• Bisca defeated Jenny Realight using her upgraded sniper rifle and equipment, helping Fairy Tail reach forty points and take the lead.
• Alzack drew Jellal as his opponent, and George told him to do his best because Jellal was a top-tier S-Class Mage.

• Alzack insisted on facing Jellal, and George agreed after warning him to fight without holding back.
• Alzack attacked Jellal with Steel Monsters and his twin guns, but Jellal’s God of War Possession let him destroy the constructs and overpower Alzack.
• Jellal broke through Alzack’s protection and prepared to cripple him, but George appeared and frightened Jellal back with his magic power.
• George surrendered on Alzack’s behalf, and Minerva challenged his intervention before the host ruled it was within the rules and awarded Sabertooth ten points.
• Bisca and the others carried away the unconscious Alzack, who whispered to Bisca, “Tell the Guild Master... I’m no coward.”

After Fairy Tail tied Sabertooth for first place, George healed Alzack and Blue Pegasus’s Hibiki before returning with his guildmates to their dormitory. The next day, the Grand Magic Games introduced a Team Defense Battle in which guilds challenged selected defenders for points.

• Jellal and Minerva left the stage unhappy despite winning, while Fairy Tail and Sabertooth tied for first with forty points each.
• George healed Alzack, then agreed to heal the badly injured Hibiki at Macao’s request.
• George and Fairy Tail’s mages visited Blue Pegasus, discussed its members, and teleported back to their dormitory.
• The next day, Pumpkin Man announced the Team Defense Battle rules: six guilds would defend against groups of challengers, with points awarded for each victory.
• The mages and spectators grew excited about the format’s chances for weaker guilds to gain recognition and stronger guilds to earn points.

George led Fairy Tail into the Team Defense Battle and chose to face every challenger himself, aiming to overwhelm the opposition and secure the guild’s points. As Boar's Tusks entered the arena, George challenged all five members to attack him together.

• Pumpkin Man named Fairy Tail and five other guilds as defenders, and the guilds gathered to plan their battles.

George effortlessly defeated Boar's Tusks and then four more challenger guilds at the Grand Magic Games, earning Fairy Tail sixty points. As the battles continued on the other arenas, George had not even moved from his spot.

• The Captain of Boar's Tusks led his four teammates in a coordinated attack on George, using the Earth Dragon Spear, ice, charm, fire, and wind magic.
• George shattered the ice, took control of the female Mage, and used Metal Control to knock out the Captain and the other four Mages in less than a second.

• George incinerated Monster's Liver with a single Roar of the Wood Flame Dragon before its team could finish speaking.
• George used the same attack to instantly defeat teams from four more guilds, bringing Fairy Tail's score to sixty points while the other arenas' first matches were still underway.

George discovered that magic released during the Grand Magic Games was being drawn toward a hidden door beneath the royal palace. After sneaking into the palace to investigate, he was exposed by surveillance magic and surrounded by soldiers.

• A Magic Circle broke George's Invisibility Spell, and a magical eye revealed his presence as soldiers gathered around him.

• Arcadius confronted George in the palace and demanded that he leave after George asked why the royal family was gathering magic power.
• Arcadius ordered the soldiers to capture George, expecting the Eclipse Gate to drain his magic, but George knocked them all unconscious using only his speed and tail.
• Arcadius drew his sword, then backed down when George revealed he could still use magic and spread his wings.
• George pressed a paw to Arcadius’s head and learned that the kingdom planned to use the Eclipse Gate, the Golden Twelve Keys, and the Celestial Spirit Realm’s time laws to travel into the past and kill Zeref.

George learned that the kingdom planned to use the Eclipse Gate to travel back in time and kill Zeref to prevent the Black Dragon’s threat. He explained why the plan would not save the present, took the gate, and returned to the dormitory, leaving Arcadius unable to proceed without risking exposure to the Magic Council.

• Arcadius explained that the kingdom and princess planned to use the Eclipse Gate to travel to the past and kill Zeref, hoping to prevent the Black Dragon from destroying humanity.
• George told Arcadius that Acnologia had not been created by Zeref, that time travel would likely create another timeline, and that the Dragon Clan might destroy humanity if Acnologia were prevented from eliminating it.
• George packed the Eclipse Gate into his Costume Space so the kingdom could not carry out its plan, intending to study it and use it to reach an era filled with dragons.
• Arcadius drew his sword and protested, but George warned that he could expose the plan and hand the gate to the Magic Council if Arcadius tried to take it by force.
• George used Apparition to return to the dormitory, while Arcadius was left with the warning that the Magic Council could hold the king accountable for violating its regulations.

After George defeated the Hungry Wolves Knights, King Tomas E. Fiore gave up on reclaiming the Eclipse Gate for now. George copied the knights’ magic and planned to raid the Magic Development Bureau’s library after the Grand Magic Games final.

• Arcadius reported George’s seizure of the Eclipse Gate, and Jade E. Fiore and Minister of Defense Daton urged King Tomas E. Fiore to send the Hungry Wolves Knights to retrieve it.
