≡ Table of Contents

The members of Fairy Tail appeared one by one, and the familiar figures caused the audience to scream.

"That's the Fairy Queen Erza, so beautiful!!"

"Mira-chan I love you!!"

"Kira-sama is so handsome!"

“Come on!!”

“…”

"Tsk! Why on earth would I do such a thing!" Laxus said with a sour face, "It's just a child's play!"

"If you're unhappy, you don't have to come. Then you can just watch the title of [The Strongest] fall into our hands." Kira smiled and waved to the audience while saying to Laxus, "If you want to be the strongest and inherit the guild, you have to let everyone recognize you. This can't be achieved by strength alone."

Erza also stepped forward and said, "This tournament is related to the future of the entire Fairy Tail. Even Mistergang has come for this. How can you be absent?"

Mistgang remained silent. In his heart, he really didn't want to come, but he couldn't resist the president's pleading, saying that this competition was very important and related to the future development of the guild, blah blah... In addition, Kira and Disper tried to persuade him in various ways, so he had to come even if he didn't want to.

Natsu looked excited and rubbed his hands together: "I must stay until the end!"

The others also looked expectant. Gray took off his shirt, Cana put down the bottle, Elfman shouted "manly", Lucy polished the Celestial Key until it was shiny, and Rocky turned the ring in his hand...

Wait, Rocky?

"Why are you here?" Lucy was surprised and puzzled to see Rocky appear here.

"I'm sorry, Lucy, please let me cancel the contract temporarily," Rocky said, "I have been looking forward to this battle for a long time, and everyone wants me to participate, so let me complete the finale as 'Rocky'!"

"Heh...heh..." Lucy smiled stiffly, "Why don't I know anything about this?!"

Rocky continued, "Don't worry, I've created a door to use my own magic, so I don't need your key. Besides, you're already very strong even without me!"

That’s right, there are still 8 keys!

"Is this a question of whether I am strong or not? You actually did something like this without thinking, how selfish are you as a Celestial Spirit..." Lucy was too tired to complain.

While a few people were talking, a huge silver- white , and the rumbling sound immediately covered up the noisy voices of the audience.

The maze was of course created by Kira, so the material quality can be guaranteed and it will not be easily destroyed by these guys; the difficulty of the mechanisms and traps can also be guaranteed and it will definitely be interesting.

"And... fairness can also be guaranteed. I only set up the trap module, but the placement was done by the president and Disper and the others. I don't know the details of the trap, and there are no loopholes to exploit." Kira explained to the guys around him who were looking at him with ill intentions, "So you don't have to worry. Even I have to abide by the rules of the game."

Laxus then looked away.

But there are still some people who don't believe it. For example, Cana, Lucy, Gray and others followed Kira closely. Juvia followed Gray, Rocky followed Lucy, and Marcus and other guys stared at Kira from a distance, preparing to enter through the same entrance as him...

Kira waved his hands helplessly: "It's useless even if you follow me... Forget it, it's up to you."

Ding ding ding——!!!

The big bell rang three times, announcing the start of the qualifying round.

After explaining the rules of the game to the audience, Disper stood up and announced: "The preliminaries have officially begun!"

Boom boom

The maze is a huge rectangular building with an entrance in the east, west, south and north. The four maze entrances opened at the same time, and hundreds of members of Fairy Tail rushed in.

"Magic crystals are placed throughout the maze. Audience members can observe the situation inside the maze through the screen above."

"There are all kinds of traps in the maze. It is a great test for the magician's strength and reaction speed. At the same time, luck is also a very important part."

On the judges' stage, the topic gradually deviated...

Disper introduced the competition swiftly, like a host who had been doing this for who knows how long: "We would like to thank the mayor for sponsoring this competition, and the Sage Kira for his strong support. The Hope House will bring you hope with magic!"

The mayor started the conversation very cooperatively: "I heard that this maze was provided by the 'Sage' Kira. Its material is special and can withstand most attacks. It can be said to be a new type of building material in the construction field! Now the Fairy Tail Guild is also built with this material?"

Markrov nodded with a grin, "Yes, yes! Now the guild doesn't have to worry about being destroyed by them!"

The reporter asked curiously: "So where can I buy this kind of building materials?"

Dispere replied with great joy: "Kira's store is the 'Hope House' on Magnolia Central Street. You can place an order now..."

Such a blunt advertisement did not affect the intense atmosphere of the game, but instead attracted the attention of a large number of viewers.

…

The completely enclosed silver-white maze has its own internal lighting. Although it looks like it has five floors from the outside, it is not the case after entering.

The space was disordered, the stairs were upside down, there was a trap every three steps and a mechanism every five steps. Even Kira himself felt dizzy, not to mention the others. It was difficult to move forward and they didn't know where to go.

At the entrance of the east gate, Kira looked around as soon as he entered and determined his position. There were the most people following him because everyone thought that Kira, the builder, must be the most familiar with it.

"What a mess, what's going on in this place?"

"It makes me feel dizzy..."

A cry of surprise attracted everyone's attention: "Why can't I use magic?"

It was Lucy who wanted to take out Picus to show the way.

Kira suddenly realized, and clenched his right fist and hammered his left hand: "Ah, I forgot to tell you, you can't use magic here."

"This level depends on wisdom, memory, and luck!"

Gray grabbed his hair and said, "I knew it wouldn't be that easy. I wanted to build a staircase and climb up directly..."

Cana stepped forward and said, "Come to think of it, if Kira can't use magic, then he's just an ordinary person, right?"

"Yeah, his melee ability seems to be a bit low. You ask this... um..."

Cana, Gray, and Leo surrounded Kira, their knuckles crackling, grinning on their faces, as if they were going to take this opportunity to bully Kira back.

It is obvious that the few of them have been harboring deep resentment, and now is the time to take revenge.

"Want to catch me?" Kira raised his eyebrows, "Catch me if you can!"

Run away quickly!

One person escaped and several people chased him, and soon the mechanism was triggered.

Gray guessed the trap on the ground while chasing, and a magic flashed out.

"What?"

He quickly dodged, and the magic hit the dragon behind him, and then a line of text rose up.

[Trigger the trap! Freeze for 3 minutes]

Seeing this, Gray wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Is this a trap? It looks like we can avoid it if we dodge quickly. It's nothing serious."

Kana said, "Don't be careless. That's a trap set by Kira. Don't you know his character? A trap like the immobilization trap is definitely just the lightest trap!"

"let's go!"

The trapped extra yelled, "Hey, are you guys just abandoning me like this?"

"Oh, by the way," the man next to him stepped forward and tickled him vigorously, "I almost forgot, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

“Hahahaha… stop it now, hahahaha…”

[Trigger the infection trap! Immobilize for 3 minutes]

"It's contagious? Damn it! I knew Kira's trap wasn't that simple!"

Seeing that the person who tickled the virus had spread, the other people nearby were so scared that they quickly took a step back and ran away without looking back.

“Hahahahahaha!! You deserve it!!”

"Wow, I really regret it now. I really regret it~~"

Similar scenes occurred elsewhere.

[Trigger the trap! Turn into a piglet for 3 minutes! ]

"Oh no! Levi-chan turned into a pig!"

"Don't worry, we won't dislike you!"

"Wow wow wow ~ How embarrassing ~"

【Trigger the trap! 5 minutes of sensory confusion! 】

"Marcus, why are you running back?"

"Idiot, there's a wall!"

[Trigger the trap! Shake out 6 sixes to move forward! ]

“This is too difficult!”
