However, just when Lucy couldn't help but retreat slightly, preparing to avoid the upcoming queen battle, Erza suddenly raised his head and spoke calmly:
"Okay, I'll join!"
"Eh--!?" Lucy staggered in shock.
"... Eh?"
Mira was also stunned, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and his cheeks puffed up slightly:
'What, you agreed so simply... I still want to have a battle after a long time...'
Erza looked suspiciously at Mira, who had a wrong aura. "Mira, were you just...?"
Faced with the doubt, Mira directly dismissed Take Over from Satan Soul, and instantly returned to his usual gentle look.
"Nothing's wrong~" She clasped her hands together with a smile, "Welcome to join, Erza~"
Lucy looked at Mira, who had changed his face at the speed of light, and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely: 'I didn't expect Mira to have such a bellicose side...'
But she was more concerned about another thing than this.
Lucy approached Erza in confusion, his face full of curiosity:
"Um...Erza, you actually agreed? I thought you preferred an upright and fair duel."
Erza was silent for a moment, and then his expression became grim:
"If it were normal times, I would really not agree to participate in the competition with such an over-the-top behavior."
"But this time it's different!"
Everyone looked at her in confusion, and Erza began to speak:
"At first, I thought this was just an ordinary entertainment event. Blanc must have done it behind the scenes to ensure that he would win. The Guild Master Succession Rights mentioned was just a gimmick."
"But after being teleported out, I learned from other companions what Laxus had done before."
Lucy also sighed, "This matter... I only found out after I came out. Laxus they really went too far this time!"
Erza took a deep breath and his tone became more solemn:
"After knowing this and connecting the two, I have to start worrying about one thing."
She turned her head and glanced at everyone seriously:
"The real purpose of Blanc in holding this competition... maybe he wants to deliberately lose in this competition, so that he can naturally push Guild Master's position to Laxus."
"What!?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
"No, it's impossible!?" Lucy's eyes widened in panic.
Bisca also frowned. "People like Laxus think of it as Guild Master? Doesn't that push the guild into a pit of fire? No matter how random Blanc is, it won't be like this."
"That is to say," Laki nodded repeatedly, "Fairy Tail, the love and romance, what will happen to it if it is left in the hands of that kind of person..."
"We, ah no, others think it's impossible!" Happy raised his paws in agreement.
"Erza, why do you think so?" Levy was very confused.
As a participant in the venue production, Blanc told her the reason for doing this when he asked her to work. It was not such an outrageous reason, otherwise she would not follow Blanc's mischief.
It was just that she was asked to keep it confidential and it was not convenient for her to speak directly.
Mira's smile faded. She had just been busy playing with everyone in a team, and she really didn't think about this aspect deeply.
At this moment, when she heard Erza put forward this scary point of view, she couldn't help but start brainstorming.
Facing everyone's doubts, Erza shook his head and said slowly, "The reason why everyone thinks it is impossible is because in our eyes, Laxus has changed a long time ago."
"We feel that he is now cruel and tyrannical, and has no intention of treating anyone as his companions."
"So, all of us believe that Laxus is definitely not suitable to be Guild Master."
Lucy tilted his head to the side and echoed with confusion on his face, "Yes, Laxus like this, how could Blanc still hand over the guild to him?"
Having said this, Erza's eyes condensed and his tone became solemn:
"However, there are two people in the guild who don't think so. They believe from the beginning to the end that Laxus is still the same as before, but has just become a little more rebellious."
Lucy couldn't help but complained madly at the side, "Wait a minute! Laxus's appearance cannot be described as 'rebellious'..."
After she finished complaining, she couldn't help but swallow again, and asked nervously, "So, those two people you mentioned are...?"
Erza slowly spit out two names:
"Natsu, and Blanc."
"Haa???" A series of question marks appeared on Lucy's head.
Natsu She could still understand that it was a single-celled organism, but what about Blanc? What did he think? Others were also quite confused about this.
Erza saw everyone's doubts and patiently explained:
"I don't know if the two of them have seen through something or if it's just intuition."
"But what is certain is that the two of them have always believed that Laxus will never do anything to truly betray his companions or the guild."
"If we start from this point and think about the purpose of Blanc - since Blanc believes in Laxus so much, and he was unwilling to accept the position of Guild Master before, now he suddenly and uncharacteristically asks for this position from Guild Master, and regards it as a reward for the competition..."
Having said this, Erza's voice deepened:
"This made me have a reasonable doubt... Did he specifically organize this competition with the idea of 'as long as he gives up his position to Laxus, Guild Master will never have my turn again'."
Mira's eyes flashed with a trace of the original color, and then his face became extremely solemn.
Lucy was shocked by this breaking news, his mind began to spin rapidly, and he subconsciously followed Erza's thoughts.
Blanc Although that guy is very reliable at critical moments, he does often engage in some very shady and off-the-line behaviors...
Especially when he announced Guild Master Succession Rights as a reward, he was talking about Laxus!
He also said that Guild Master does not agree with the first place being the fourth generation, so he will directly designate the fifth generation after he becomes the fourth generation. Isn't this what he is talking about Laxus!?
She was completely stunned by the 10 million J at that time. Now when she looks back and thinks about these words, she feels like she has made a decision no matter how she thinks about them.
"It seems... it seems... very possible!!!" Lucy grabbed her hair and screamed in horror, a lot of cold sweat dripping down her back.
"With that bastard's bad character, he would definitely be able to do such a deceptive thing!!"
The other girls looked at each other, their expressions completely downcast.
Cold sweat appeared on Levy's forehead unconsciously, and she panicked:
'That makes sense... Could it be that Blanc was just fooling me into helping... Is this his real purpose?'
"Of course, this is just my guess. No one can tell what that guy Blanc is thinking now." Erza The light flashed in his hand, and a long sword appeared out of thin air.
"But just in case, before he does something irreversible--"
She gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and pointed the tip straight at the light curtain in the sky:
"I want to eliminate Laxus and Thunder God Tribe from this game first!"
"So, I decided to join you!"
"Oh! As expected of Erza, so reliable!"
"Then let's do it! Let those men who are messing around without permission see the power of girl groups!"
Seeing everyone's fighting spirit rising, the corners of Mira's lips raised again. "Ah, isn't this very interesting?"
"Then it's settled! Fairy Girl's next targets - Laxus and Freed!"
"Oh--!!" the girls and a cat shouted excitedly in unison.
Only Lucy suddenly froze after raising his fist halfway.
'Wait a minute... Why are you suddenly going to fight Laxus? What was my plan in the beginning...'
However, after being flustered for a while, she thought of the terrifying combat power that her side had now assembled, and her eyes couldn't help but get brighter and brighter.
'No, we have two generals, Erza and Mira! With the help of others, it seems that we can really keep this number one spot!'
'Ten million! I'm coming.'
"Oh--!!! Fuck Laxus!!"
Thinking of this, Lucy suddenly raised his fist that was frozen in mid-air, and let out a loud shout that overwhelmed everyone, startling the surrounding companions.
