"Gajeel...!"
"Mira..."
There was no one from Chen Fan's team cheering them on. Chen Fan was fine, though; the two kids idolized him immensely, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment. The First Generation was also waving to Chen Fan.
This made Gildarts extremely jealous; his own daughter, Kana, didn't even cheer him on, and the treatment he received was far too different.
Macao approached Makarov and asked, "President, why send three teams to the match? Even if it's just for victory, two teams would be enough, wouldn't they?"
The other members of Fairy Tail were also taken aback by Macao's words. They had never thought about this question before, but now that they thought about it, it made sense—why send out so many people?
Makarov's eyes widened, and he rubbed his thumb and forefinger together with his left hand, saying, "Don't you understand...? Of course it's money! Money! First place gets thirty million, second place gets twenty million, and third place gets ten million. It's because the top three get the prizes that we should keep it all in the family!"
"Bang..." Twenty members of Fairy Tail collapsed to the ground. So that was the reason they sent out three teams. But one has to admire Makarov's brilliant foresight; his goal seems to have been achieved.
"The final day's competition is a survival contest in which all participants compete!"
"The designated battle area is the entire Crocas Street. Members of each guild are scattered throughout the area, awaiting action. If they encounter members of other guilds while moving around the streets, a battle will ensue. If Teuchi or rendered unable to fight, one point will be awarded. Each team will then elect a captain, and other teams will be unaware of their captain selection. Defeating a captain will earn five points, and so on, a maximum of 63 points can be obtained. This means that any guild has a chance to achieve final victory."
Which guild or team will emerge victorious?
"The Grand Magic Games begin!!!"
With a clang, the gong rang out, and all the members began to scatter...
Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Ever-Changing Situation
Sabertooth team assembly point
"Hehehe... I really love this rule...! Our current score is 35 points, and the total score on the field is said to be 63 points, but if we exclude Chen Fan's 5 points, it's only 58 points. If we can gain 6 points more than the other teams from these 58 points, then even if we are completely wiped out, we will still win the championship by 1 point!" said Minerva, the young lady of the Sabertooth.
"But we're a full 20 points behind first place, my dear lady!" Orga said with a helpless expression;
"Then hurry up and go! Win back all the points...!" Minerva shouted. She had been calculating Chen Fan's moves and suddenly remembered that this rule not only applied to their team, but also to other teams.
Each team had smart players who noticed the loophole in the rule and acted quickly. Blue Pegasus and Mermaid Heel used a 3ll split, Lamia Scale used a 2ll split, and most of the other teams acted alone.
Rufus the Sabertooth had memorized the magical abilities of most people, so he knew almost everyone's location and quickly arranged the operation;
On the street Toby and Yuka, both kobolds from the 26th Lamia Scale, were running when suddenly Bacchus, Four Beasts, emerged from the intersection ahead. Startled, the two quickly assumed a fighting stance.
Suddenly, a star appeared in the sky. Bacchus looked up and saw Sting, the Sabertooth, falling from above.
"Boom..." It was too late to react; he was slammed to the ground! The ground shattered, and Bacchus passed out. Sabertooth gained 5 points, bringing his total to 40.
Everyone realized another loophole in this rule: a third or fourth party could join the fight at any time, at which point the two exhausted fighters could be defeated by the third or fourth party.
Suddenly the sky darkened. Because this was a magic screen broadcasting the entire battle live, it could show everyone's combat situation. Everyone turned their attention to Rufus, the Sabertooth, Rufus was standing at the highest point of the Crocas Church, his index and middle fingers joined together on his temples.
"Memory Make! Under the Under the Starry Night Sky!" Beams of starlight shot towards all the enemy players. Many used magic to block the attack, but the Four Beasts were instantly wiped out, and Jenny of the Blue Pegasus was also hit. Sabertooth's score became 45 points.
Then, as the sky darkened, Sting suddenly appeared beside Toby and Yuka while they were still surprised and eliminated them, bringing Sabertooth's score to 47.
"Bang..." Under Rufus -attribute attack, Wakaba instantly turned into smoke, causing the lightning to strike the ground and avoid this global attack, which was similar to the one from League of Legends ' 'Karthus'.
"Don't underestimate the veteran members of Fairy Tail guild...!" Wakaba shouted.
Suddenly a voice rang out, "I also think you're amazing...!" Wakaba was startled and looked up, only to see Minerva standing not far in front of Wakaba, slightly lifting her cheongsam to reveal a snow-white, alluring leg;
