Chapter Summaries

Sherria faced a one-billion-J bill for the damage she and Wendy caused at the Royal Hotel, and the maid persuaded her to join Fairy Tail by offering to cancel the debt and keep it secret from Lamia Scale. At the Grand Magic Games, the female guild representatives gathered for a bikini contest, setting the stage for the second day's first event.

• Sherria woke with fragmented memories of the previous night's pool battle and resolved to discuss returning to Lamia Scale with Makarov, but the hotel maid presented her with a one-billion-J bill for the damage.
• The maid told Sherria that Wendy owed nothing because Fairy Tail mages had privileges, then offered to cancel Sherria's debt if she joined Fairy Tail and keep the matter from Lamia Scale; Sherria agreed.
• The Grand Magic Games began its second day with a female-only guild battle royale, and Four-Headed Hound was eliminated for having no female competitors.
• Minerva, Sherry, Ikaruga, Kagura, Jenny Realight, Mirajane, Misaki, Brandish, Dimaria, Annie Signor, Erza Belserion, Selene, and Athena were selected to represent their guild teams.
• Pumpkin Head revealed that the event would be a bikini contest to determine the world's most beautiful female Mage, and the competitors reacted with excitement and confusion.

The Grand Magic Games’ beauty pageant turned into a battle after Selene attacked Jenny Realight and argued that eliminating the other contestants would guarantee victory. As the mages fought across the arena, Selene unleashed her overwhelming power and began subduing everyone.

• Pumpkin Head explained that cameras would photograph the contestants and that the audience and judges would choose Fiore Kingdom’s most beautiful female mage.
• Selene defeated Jenny Realight with magic, then argued that contestants could win by preventing their rivals from being photographed.
• Ikaruga, Kagura, and the other contestants interpreted Selene’s actions as a signal to fight, and a battle erupted across the Training Ground.
• Kagura defeated Ikaruga, while Misaki ambushed and defeated Minerva as Erza and Mirajane fought each other.
• Selene grew bored of the battle and unleashed her magic beneath a golden full moon, causing Sherry and other weaker contestants to faint.

Erza challenged Selene over Fiore’s most beautiful female mage title, and the women at the Grand Magic Games joined forces against the Moon God Dragon. Selene overwhelmed their attacks and began destroying Annie Signor’s alchemical world, leaving Annie facing a falling moon.

• Erza told Selene she was too old for beauty pageants, provoking Selene into threatening to teach her a lesson.
• Erza rallied Brandish, Dimaria, Misaki, and Annie Signor against Selene, and Misaki released Minerva from her alternate dimension.
• Dimaria used Time Stop, but Selene shattered it almost immediately, allowing the mages to unleash their attacks.
• Erza fired a Dragon Slayer Railgun at Selene, who blocked the shots, smashed the weapon, and sent Erza flying.
• Mirajane tried to protect Erza with summoned vines, but Selene burned them away before Annie Signor trapped Selene in her World Alchemy.
• Selene tore open Annie’s world and summoned a golden moon that began falling toward it.

Selene defeated Athena and the assembled mages, including their combined attacks and Erza and Brandish's enlarged Railgun, then won the contest for Fiore's most beautiful mage. As Old Toma announced Selene as the winner, Aileen Belserion appeared and challenged the result.

• Selene destroyed Annie Signor's world and threw her aside before challenging the remaining mages.
• Athena attacked Selene with Lust alchemy, but Selene resisted it and knocked Athena out with one punch.
• Minerva summoned the Eighteen Battle Gods of Hell, but Selene dismantled it, and Mirajane absorbed its power before Misaki sent Minerva away.
• Erza, Mirajane, Misaki, Brandish, and Dimaria combined their attacks, and Erza and Brandish fired an enormous Railgun at Selene, but Selene emerged nearly unharmed and crushed the Training Ground with moonfire.
• Old Toma declared Selene the winner and the most beautiful mage in Fiore, but Aileen Belserion appeared and disputed the title.

Aileen entered the Grand Magic Games arena, saved Erza and the other female mages, and began fighting Selene. After a brief exchange, Aileen summoned a massive asteroid toward Selene and the arena, leaving Old Toma horrified as it blotted out the sky.

• Aileen used Enchantment Magic to replace Erza and the other female mages in the arena, then blocked Selene's Moonlight Flame.
• Erza called Aileen her mother, surprising the audience, and Ywen silenced spectators who expressed interest in pursuing Aileen with his Conqueror's Haki.
• Aileen and Selene exchanged powerful attacks, with Selene punching through Aileen's enormous fireball.
• Selene challenged Aileen to stop holding back, and Aileen raised her staff to unleash magic beyond the world and accelerate an asteroid toward the arena.
• Old Toma asked Ywen whether Aileen had summoned a meteor, and Ywen revealed that it was an asteroid capable of leveling Fiore Kingdom as it darkened the sky above them.

Aileen summoned a colossal asteroid during the Grand Magic Games, but Selene redirected it into the moon and protected the arena. Aileen then revealed she could summon more, and the chapter ended with six asteroids descending in the shape of a little red flower as Selene prepared to face them.

• Aileen cast Divine Star Shatter, and Makarov warned that its asteroid could devastate Fiore and cause destruction across the world.
• Selene opened a space portal and placed part of the moon between the asteroid and Earth-land World, then closed the portal after the collision threatened to send an aftershock through it.
• Aileen praised Selene for stopping the asteroid and announced she would summon a second one.
• Aileen summoned a second asteroid twice the diameter of the first, then revealed five larger asteroids descending around it to form a little red flower.
• Selene's expression darkened as Aileen asked whether she liked the gift.

Aileen and Selene’s battle threatened Earth-land, so Ywen accepted a system mission and persuaded them to continue fighting in Elentir instead. The Grand Magic Games spectators watched their battle on a giant screen, while the Spirit of Elentir protested being left to bear the damage.

• Aileen’s six asteroids fell toward Earth-land, but Selene used Water Wings to divert them into Elentir, where they caused widespread destruction.
• Ywen received an emergency mission to stop Aileen and Selene from fighting in Earth-land and told them to move their battle elsewhere.
• Aileen and Selene agreed, traveled through Water Wings to Elentir, and left the arena spectators relieved and cheering for Ywen.
• Old Toma asked Ywen how to handle the unfinished match, and Ywen created a giant screen showing Aileen and Selene’s battle.
• Old Toma assured the spectators that the battle was taking place in Elentir and would not endanger them, while the Spirit of Elentir complained about the damage.

Selene and Aileen began their full-power duel in Elentir, transforming into their battle forms before abandoning magic for close-quarters combat. Their blows devastated the world around them as spectators in Earthland watched the battle on a giant screen.

• Selene said Elentir was empty and challenged Aileen to settle who was the greatest beauty and stronger fighter.
• Selene transformed into her nine-tailed dragon form beneath a full moon, while Aileen entered her awakened Human-Beast Form.
• Pumpkin Head described the two fighters’ transformations as the Goddess of Dragons and the Moon God Dragon.
• Aileen and Selene charged at each other and collided with a strike that sent a devastating shockwave across Elentir.
• Pumpkin Head explained that the shockwaves were shattering the land, while Ywen recognized the cause from the stands.
• Aileen battered Selene with buffed punches as Selene defended, and their continuing fight split the land and stirred the skies above Elentir.

Aileen defeated Selene with Ywen’s anti-dragon Mace, won the Grand Magic Games’ beauty contest, and returned to Fairy Tail’s stands as Selene survived unconscious beneath Elentir. Old Toma announced the next two-on-two match, pairing Acnologia and Ignia against Four-Headed Hound, whose members were about to face their threats head-on.

• Aileen used her speed, Haki, and Dragon Slayer Mace to knock Selene into a fissure in Elentir, leaving her unconscious rather than dead.
• Old Toma declared Aileen the winner and named her the Fiore Kingdom’s number one beauty, while the audience and the Red God Cult bishop praised her.
• Aileen returned to Ywen and the others, where she said Selene would recover; Old Toma then announced the two-on-two match and the scoring rules.
• Erza regretted losing the beauty title to her mother, while Athena, Kagura, and Misaki reflected on their losses and Misaki kept Minerva trapped in her space.
• Goldmine celebrated Four-Headed Hound’s relatively light losses until Old Toma announced that Bargus and Iyeka would face Acnologia and Ignia.
• Ignia mocked Four-Headed Hound’s name and threatened to smash all four of its heads.

Ignia finally entered the Grand Magic Games after growing restless on the sidelines, then provoked Four-Headed Hound and demanded that the entire guild fight him. After knocking out Bargus and Iyeka with one punch, he challenged the rest of the guild to attack him together.

• Ignia unleashed his flames and vowed to smash Four-Headed Hound, prompting its members and the spectators to react to his insult.
• Old Toma called Bargus and Iyeka into the Training Ground, where Ignia mocked their guild and unnerved them by admitting he had eaten dragon slayers.
• Ignia asked why only two opponents had come and demanded that Four-Headed Hound send its whole guild against him.
• Ignia punched Bargus and Iyeka away, then taunted the rest of Four-Headed Hound to forget the rules and come at him together.

Ignia rejected the end of his match and challenged every Mage in Four-Headed Hound, then unleashed a massive attack that destroyed the Grand Magic Games Arena. Aileen, Acnologia, and Magic King August protected the spectators, and they reminded Ignia not to use such magic in the Training Ground.

• After defeating Bargus and Iyeka, Ignia refused to end the match and said he would eliminate every Mage in Four-Headed Hound.
• Ignia challenged Four-Headed Hound’s Mages, but most fled while a handful rushed down to fight him and were engulfed in flames.
• Ignia pursued the fleeing Mages and formed a giant sun, then hurled it toward the spectator stands.
• Aileen, Acnologia, and Magic King August blocked Ignia’s attack, leaving the spectators alive and the arena in ruins.
• Aileen and August gently reminded Ignia that he could not use that kind of magic in the Training Ground.

Ignia challenged Aileen after she warned him about endangering the Grand Magic Games spectators, and Aileen asserted her authority by invoking her son, Ywen. Ignia ultimately knelt before her in the arena, then tried to defer his promised apology until they were back at the Fairy Tail guild.

• Aileen warned Ignia that his magic could endanger the Grand Magic Games spectators, and Ignia accused her of having no right to lecture him.
• Ignia insulted the tournament and its competitors, then challenged Aileen to take the next match; Aileen transformed and prepared to fight him.
• Aileen concluded Ignia’s bravado came from loneliness and insecurity, then told him she could discipline him because she was Ywen’s mother.
• Ignia struggled to answer without losing face or provoking Ywen, then admitted Aileen was qualified to discipline him while insisting he would take three days to submit.
• When Aileen called to Ywen, Ignia dropped to his knees and claimed he was choosing to kneel; he then offered to kowtow after they returned to the guild.

Damagral challenged every mage outside Fairy Tail to fight him, then trapped the assembled challengers in a vast labyrinth after their attacks failed to hurt him. As Golden Owl tried to seize Athena amid the chaos, Annie Signor betrayed Duke Barbaroa by piercing his chest.

• After Ignia defeated Four-Headed Hound, Old Toma asked Ywen to withdraw Fairy Tail, but Ywen explained that Fairy Tail's other teams were determined to compete against one another.
• Damagral rejected the planned doubles match and challenged every mage outside Fairy Tail to fight him; guilds and lone mages crowded into the arena, while Mermaid Heel forfeited.
• Thousands of challengers attacked Damagral for half an hour without injuring him, so he raised a massive labyrinth to prevent them from escaping.
• Duke Barbaroa ordered Golden Owl alchemists to capture Athena with specially made chains that sealed her powers, while Mavis and Natsu tried to stop him.
• Annie Signor pierced Duke Barbaroa from behind and told him she had betrayed him because she considered him too weak to defeat Fairy Tail.

Annie Signor wounded Duke Barbaroa and fled, but Rousseau Signor and the Alchemist Guild Golden Owl’s alchemists cornered him in Crocus. The alchemists removed Duke as Guild Master and chose to join Fairy Tail, before a scarlet-armored man identifying himself as a dog of the Belserion Family appeared.

• Duke Barbaroa called them dogs of the Belserion Family, and a scarlet-armored man arrived, proudly declaring that he was one.

Neinhart killed Duke Barbaroa and revived him with Historia, then headed to the arena as Damagral trapped the rival guilds inside his Great Labyrinth. Damagral defeated the trapped Mages, securing Fairy Tail’s early Grand Magic Games victory as Fairy Tail prepared for its more important internal battle.

• Neinhart killed Duke Barbaroa after rejecting his offer of Golden Owl’s assets, then used Historia to summon him as a corpse and ordered the alchemists to remove the body.
• Damagral’s Great Labyrinth trapped the Mages gathered to challenge Fairy Tail, blocking Spatial Magic and resisting their attacks.
• Jiemma rallied the trapped Mages and took credit when Damagral destroyed a labyrinth wall, but Damagral revealed that he had broken it himself and knocked Jiemma unconscious.

• Old Toma declared Fairy Tail the Grand Magic Games winner after every other guild’s team was defeated, while Fairy Tail awaited its internal battle.

The battle began with Makarov, Natsu, Ignia, Gray, and Gildarts unleashing their power, destroying the arena as Fairy Tail’s many members prepared to fight.
