Those less familiar guilds, such as Mermaid Heel, Four Beasts, Raven Tail's Tail, and Sabertooth, remained silent, all staring at one person. They were all young men who had remained unknown when Chen Fan was rampaging through the land. They had only heard of Chen Fan's name but never seen him in person. There was even a popular saying among mages, "If you've never met Chen Fan, you can't claim to be the strongest!"
Without a doubt, Chen Fan, with a smile on his face, has become the center of attention for all the contestants. Even the arrogant members of the Sabertooth have serious expressions. Chen Fan exudes an invisible pressure. Is this the person who has always occupied the throne of the strongest person in the Kingdom of Fiore?
The atmosphere inside the arena also affected those outside, with some elderly people and middle-aged people who knew Chen Fan cheering him on.
"Go for it...! My Little Chen Fan...!" Bobo, the guild leader of the Blue Pegasus Guild, cheered for Chen Fan from the sidelines. Chen Fan couldn't help but shudder; he had almost forgotten about this guy.
"Guild Master...! Why aren't you cheering for our guild? Mr. Ichiya, Ren, Hibiki, and Ivan are all there!"
"They're bound to lose! Who told my Little Chen Fan to play?" Bobo rolled her eyes at the guild member and said.
Inside the arena, Hibiki, Ren, Ivan found a quiet place to brood. "Ah...! This world...! What is there left to cherish?! Even the president is off cheering for someone else..."
"Fairy Tail...! Go! Go!...! Chen Fan! Go! Go!" Makarov led the guild members in cheering for Chen Fan and his team.
"Hey... you damn grandpa...! Why didn't we get this treatment when we made our entrance..." Laxus shouted at Makarov in dissatisfaction;
"Ah... of course, I didn't expect you to get first place." Makarov said with a disdainful look, picking his nose with his finger as he spoke;
"That damned old man...!" Laxus said through gritted teeth upon seeing him;
"Go for it...! Go for it...! Fairy Tail...! Go for it...!" A girl's voice suddenly rang out beside Makarov and the others;
Makarov and the others were startled. Turning around, they were shocked to see the First Generation Mavis sitting on the edge, cheering for Fairy Tail. The two children, however, excitedly shouted, "Mommy...!"
"The First Generation..." everyone in Fairy Tail exclaimed in surprise;
"Mom, did you come to cheer for Dad?"
"I'm bored! I'm here to cheer everyone on at 24!" Mavis said with a smile;
"But you are now..."
"Oh...! Only those with guild crests can see it now, don't worry!" Mavis said with a smile;
Chen Fan also noticed the First Generation and the two children. He waved, then put his hand to his mouth. Those familiar Chen Fan this gesture immediately crouched down and covered their ears. A louder sound than Guangbo rang out in the conference hall.
"I'll beat them all, cheer me on!"
Everyone was dizzy from Chen Fan's shouting, glaring at Chen Fan through gritted teeth, "That bastard...! If he'd shouted any louder, there would be no point in the competition!"
"These are all the teams that have made it to the finals. Looking at this lineup, what are your thoughts, Mr. Azuma!"
"Hmm... Little Chen Fan is definitely going to win!"
"Alright...! We won't concern ourselves with Mr. Azuma's personal wishes. Sorry to have kept everyone waiting, this is the match schedule!"
"Boom...!" A huge stone tablet slowly rose from the ground of the competition venue. Inscriptions were carved on the tablet, detailing the competition schedule...
Chapter Thirteen: A Terrible Start!
"The Special Case of this year's Grand Magic Games have finally been revealed!"
"Wow..." The atmosphere outside the arena became lively again. Regardless of the strength of the participating teams, everyone hoped to see an exciting match and cheer for their favorite team.
Looking at the inscription on the stone tablet, Gray asked, "Are there competitions and battles every day?"
"There's a battle...!" Natsu was excited at the sight of a fight. The arena was now filled with strong opponents, including Laxus, Gildarts, Chen Fan, Jura... many of whom were people he wanted to challenge.
