Upon hearing this, Chen Fan remembered that such a thing had happened. So many years had passed, and his memories had become somewhat hazy. He seemed to have a vague recollection of the Grand Magic Games, but it wasn't very clear. Therefore, it seemed that some event was about to occur. However, he didn't care. With his current strength, he could withstand even if the sky fell. As long as the guild members were happy, nothing else mattered.
"Brother Chen Fan! Shall we join?" Romeo asked Chen Fan with expectant eyes.
"Of course we'll participate! How can we miss such a fun program? If we win, we'll be the strongest magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, and we'll take back everything we've lost!"
"Oh...! Oh...! Oh...! Brother Chen Fan said he's participating!" Romeo jumped up happily and exclaimed.
"And what's our opinion?" Macao and Wakaba raised their hands with a helpless expression.
"Then let's participate!" Marcus said.
"Marcus...!" Macao and Wakaba were taken aback. They hadn't expected the usually lazy Marcus to be so proactive. They had always thought Marcus was on their side.
Marcus then spoke up, "Although we've been at the bottom for so many years, there have always been some special reasons for that. Now that Chen Fan is back, and everyone else is here, we're sure to achieve great results!"
"But do you think you can win with your current magic power?" Makarov said, stroking his chin.
"Exactly! That's too naive! This isn't something Chen Fan can decide alone," Macao whispered in Makarov's ear.
"If you win, you'll get a huge prize of thirty million gems!" Romeo tempted Makarov.
"We'll participate!!" Makarov stood up and shouted;
"No, no, no more Blue Pegasus!"
"And the Lamia Scale!"
"And Sabertooth!"...
"None of that matters!" Chen Fan waved his hand and said, "If all else fails, I'll go to their guild's address and make sure they can't participate!"
Makarov nodded in agreement after hearing Chen Fan's words, saying, "That's a good idea!"
Everyone was startled by Chen Fan and Makarov's words; given Chen Fan's past personality, he really might have done such a thing.
"Haha...! Just kidding to ease the tension!" Chen Fan said with a smile, scratching his head, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief;
"How long until the Grand Magic Games?" Natsu asked Romeo.
"Three more months!"
"Snap!" Natsu clenched his fist and said, "Alright! We have enough time. Let's use these three months to train hard, and Fairy Tail will reclaim its number one spot!"
"Well said...!"
"Hmm...! If everyone works together..."
"Nothing can stop us."...
Macao continued, "It's not as simple as you think..."
"Pat...!" Chen Fan patted Macao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Since you've already decided to participate, there's no need to hesitate. After all, it's a festival for mages, so just enjoy it. Besides, with me here, there's nothing we can't handle, haha...!"
"You actually just wanted to say the last thing, didn't you! But let's leave it at that! Fairy Tail, Grand Magic Games, participate!"
The Sorcerer Guild 'Lamia Scale'
"Grand Magic Games! We only get second place every year, it's ridiculous, it's laughable!" Grandmother Ooba, the guild leader of the Lamia Scale, kept slamming her cane on the ground as she shouted. "You all treat this year the same as every year, but we can't let that happen again this year!!"
