The magic jumbo screen rapidly refreshed the rankings, then finally froze.

Fifth place, Blue Pegasus, 3 points!
Sixth place, Mermaid Heel, 2 points!

Eighth place, Raven Tail, 0 points!
The instant the results were announced, the entire arena erupted.
"Fairy Tail took the top two spots!"
"Sabertooth fell to third—unbelievable!"
"The old order has been broken! Fairy Tail is about to return as king!"
The atmosphere among the major guilds was completely different.
In the Lamia Scale stands, Guild Master Ooba trembled with rage as she berated Lyon, who had just come off the field.
"Useless! You can't even beat Fairy Tail? Go back and run a hundred laps around the guild!"
The Sabertooth stands were utterly stifling.
Sting and Rogue's faces were livid as they stared fixedly at the rankings.
Rufus's elegant expression had completely cracked, and the fingers gripping his top hat had gone white.
The first place they had taken such pride in had been utterly crushed by Fairy Tail, who had lain dormant for seven years.
Over in Raven Tail's area, resentment surged to the heavens.
Ivan sat in the shadows, his gaze venomous enough to drip poison.
"Fairy Tail... don't get cocky. The real show is still ahead."
At the edge of the arena, Juvia ran back to Team B's waiting area, her face full of excitement.
"Juvia got first place! Gray-sama will definitely see me in a whole new light!"
"Nice work."
Lu Chongwei leaned back in his chair and praised her with a smile.
Even Gajeel, for once, did not mock her.
"Guess you were kind of useful."
