"It seems Dragon Slayer Mage aren't used to modes of transportation!" Rogue remarked.
Seeing this, Mira turned to Laxus behind her and asked, "Is Laxus also..."
"Don't tell anyone...!" Laxus whispered.
"It's obvious, isn't it!" Juvia said.
"Whoa whoa whoa I'm moving forward...!" Natsu struggled forward with all his might, his body trembling uncontrollably. For someone prone to motion sickness, constantly fighting off the urge to vomit, his body simply couldn't muster any strength;
"How pathetic, they're so stubborn even though they can't muster any strength..." Sting said, watching Natsu and Gajeel struggling forward ahead of him;
Natsu and Gajeel didn't answer Sting's question; they only had one thought in their minds, "Forward..."
"Alright, alright...! This victory is yours. You don't need to worry about a few points. You're in first and second place right now!"
"Don't cry and wail afterward over those few points, you bastard!" Gajeel said with difficulty.
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh..."
"Aaaaaaah...!" Gajeel and Natsu shouted as they charged forward;
"Can I ask you something? Why did you come to participate in the tournament? This is something Fairy Tail has never cared about in the past. Whether it's the power of a guild or something global, as far as I know, Fairy Tail... well, we always have our own way of doing things and never worry about what others think," Sting said.
"Of course it's for our comrades! Seven years! They've been waiting for us, through thick and thin, through sadness and loneliness. Even the ridicule and sarcasm have been endured silently. They've protected our guild, protected us! For everyone's sake, I must make you realize that Fairy Tail has never stopped moving forward!!!" Natsu shouted at the top of his lungs.
Everyone in Fairy Tail was moved to tears by Natsu's words;
Chen Fan's nose tingled slightly upon hearing Natsu's words. Honestly, why was Natsu so good at saying such touching things? Chen Fan had endured seven years of loneliness protecting everyone on Tenrou Island, and part of Natsu's words were meant for him.
At this moment, Gildarts came to Chen Fan's side and slapped Chen Fan on the shoulder with a "smack!" He smiled and said, "So, are you going to take Natsu's words a little more seriously now?"
"Those who were eliminated outright have no right to talk about me...!" Chen Fan shouted at Gildarts then went back to his quiet demeanor.
"We've reached the finish line...!"
"Fairy Tail A-Team: Natsu finished sixth with 3 points; Fairy Tail B-Team Gajeel finished seventh with 2 points; Sabertooth's Sting forfeited, and Zero, like Gildarts, received zero points."
"Hey...! Don't mention zero points again!" Gildarts shouted at the announcer;
"Clap clap clap..." Hearing Natsu's words and the two's spirit of fighting for their comrades, the audience couldn't help but applaud. In their minds, only Gildarts and Chen Fan's S Squad were considered formidable, and they thought that Fairy Tail only had these two. Seeing Natsu and Gajeel, they realized that Fairy Tail was not only the strongest, but also had the best spirit of cherishing their comrades!
"Ooh ooh ooh..." Makarov cried out, tears streaming down his face, "That bastard Chen Fan, that idiot Gildarts! If they had put in half the effort of Natsu and Gajeel, things wouldn't be like this! Those two bastards, bastards...!"
"Yeah...! Yeah... Chen Fan...! And Gildarts are both bastards...!"... A group of Fairy Tail members began to condemn Chen Fan and Gildarts;
Chen Fan shuddered and whispered to Gildarts, "Um... it seems we need to be a little more serious... it looks like we've angered everyone!" Gildarts nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Sting, who had forfeited and entered the player tunnel, said with a gloomy expression, "For my teammates? That's utter bullshit!"
Soon, the announcer on the loudspeaker called out again, "The battle segment begins now! The first battle of the day is between Fairy Tail S-Team, Erza Knightwalker, and Fairy Tail A-Team, Erza Scarlet!!"
"Boom..." The entire arena erupted in cheers and applause, forgetting the emotional moment just moments before. Fairy Tail had now completely captured everyone's attention, and everyone seemed to be a prodigy, incredibly powerful. Two Erza, and they were rumored to be extremely powerful—just imagining their battle would be incredibly exciting.
Erza heard the battle arrangements, a smile appearing on her lips, and said, "The arranged matches suit my taste perfectly!"
"Erza ...!" Gray, Lucy, and Wendy exclaimed.
"Don't worry, this is the unfinished battle from that time. If we don't continue, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!" After saying that Erza walked into the arena;
