Chapter 163: The beginning! This punch, 20 years of kung fu!
The next morning, at the same time, the stadium was packed.
"The Fairy Tail's first Magic Tournament, the quarter-finals are about to begin! Sixteen contestants, please enter!!"
Dispel was still on stage as the host, while Marklov, Mayor Magnolia and the reporter continued to watch the show.
"How do you think today's game will go, President Markov?"
The old man chuckled and said, "I don't know either! But to me, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. What matters is that our Fairy Tail has successors..."
This answer was very true and the reporter could not refute it at all. He just took pictures and recorded it silently.
Accompanied by cheers, applause, shouts, and the BGM specially played by the organizer through the loudspeaker, sixteen figures walked into the contestants' waiting area.
"These sixteen contestants have passed the preliminaries and preliminary rounds with their own strength and wisdom, and have come here after overcoming all obstacles. They are the best wizards of Fairy Tail. Let us give them the warmest applause!!"
"Come on, Master Sage!"
"Defeat them, Fire Dragon!"
"Fairy Queen!! You must win!"
"I love you, Mira-san!"
“…”
There is no doubt that among these sixteen people, these four with nicknames have the most fans and the highest popularity.
Among the eight battles that will take place today, the least controversial one is the battle between Kira, Filid, Natsu, Bigusro, and Mira. The difference in strength between the two sides is so great that it can almost be said to be one-sided.
The most exciting battle is between Erza and Mistgang, two S-class wizards. Although we saw them fighting yesterday, the winner was not decided at that time. Today, there may be more exciting performances.
Gray and Cana. Logically, Gray should have a better chance of winning, but their strength has improved by leaps and bounds recently. Cana has the help of Kira's card, so the outcome is unpredictable.
Elfman and Rocky are equally strong, one is powerful and the other is fast. The result is hard to predict, but if nothing unexpected happens, today should be their last glory of this competition. The winner between the two of them will face Mira tomorrow, and the chances of winning are slim.
The eight matches were held in order, with Kira VS Levy being the first to appear.
Before going on stage, Kira was stopped by Dorel and Jet. In full view of everyone, the two hugged his thighs and cried, "Kira, please, be gentle with Rebby-chan!"
Leibi blushed and pulled the two people's clothes with her hands: "Don't do this, it's too embarrassing!"
They both said in unison: "No! Leibi, for you, we are willing to do anything shameful!"
"Let me go, both of you. Don't you feel disgusted by this?"
The two of them said in unison again: "No! Unless you agree to our request!!"
"I don't want to bother with you guys!"
Not wanting to say another word, Kira exerted force, trying to pull out his thigh, but... he didn't move.
Kira: “…”
The dog licker is really awesome!
He couldn't help but look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, sighed, and said, "Okay, I promised you, can you let me go now?"
"Thank you so much, Kira, you will be our benefactor from now on!"
"hehe……"
Leibi is 17 years old this year, 3 years younger than Kira. The magic she uses is three-dimensional text magic, which can make the text three-dimensional and realize its meaning, and then throw it to the opponent to attack. Her strength is not strong, but she is good at playing supporting role.
Words and words, one is to realize magic through writing, the other is to realize magic through speaking, and both have comprehensive uses. From this point of view, the two magics have certain similarities. It can be said that Kira is a high-end version of Levi.
Because of this, in the guild, Levi often asked Kira for advice on magic, and the two of them were like half master and apprentice.
On the stage, the two men stood still.
On one side is Kira with red hair and white clothes, looking heroic. His piercing sky-blue eyes reveal endless confidence and composure. The platinum cloak behind him is blown by the wind, revealing his master's demeanor.
On the other side, Leibi's eyes were wandering, and her hand holding the magic pen was shaking, without any confidence.
The difference is obvious!
But it is obvious that the two sides who are about to compete did not underestimate their opponents because of their momentum. Instead, they each pondered over the next means of fighting.
Under normal circumstances, writing is still a little slower than speaking. Even though this magic pen was made by Kira and can write quickly, Leibi still felt uneasy.
"The only chance is to write [Silence] as quickly as possible," Levi thought as she looked at Kira across from her. "This magic won't last long. I have to use the strongest attack in the shortest possible time, but..."
Leibi thought about it and couldn't figure out what method of attack would be useful.
Compared to her, Kira seemed much more relaxed: "This girl will definitely use [Silence] to block my Word Magic. That pen was made by me. It can increase writing speed and amplify magic. The [Silence] written by it is not so easy to cancel. During the time she writes, I can release three spells at most, so I should use magic that can dissolve [Silence] at the beginning; Leibi's attack is not strong. After I dodge, I can directly fight in close combat, but..."
He turned his head and looked at the audience. Jet and Dolor were staring at him with their four big watery eyes.
Kira: “…”
"Two idiots!" Kira cursed inwardly, rubbing his hands inwardly, "It's useless to chase a girl by just being nice to her, so let me help you!"
Instead of letting me hold back, you might as well let me beat up Leibi, and then you can go and ask about her well-being. There's no need to thank me, because I'm a sage!
Leibi looked at Kira's increasingly bad look, and she began to feel uneasy: "Kira, you will show mercy, right? You will, right?"
clang!
Disper rang the bell: "The game begins!!!"
As soon as the voice was spoken, Levi and Kira attacked at the same time.
"Silent..."
Leibi waved her hand and drew a line in the air with the magic pen. Three-dimensional text appeared, with the English letters at the center, turning the surroundings into a silent place, eliminating all sounds.
"noise!"
Kira's words turned into magic, and his word magic was cast, producing sound pattern fluctuations invisible to the naked eye with himself as the center, continuously emitting high-frequency noise to the entire stadium.
Completely opposite magics were cast at the same time. The moment the magic fields touched, the two sides canceled each other out like ice encountering flames. The two had expected this scene, and they thought to themselves at the same time: "It's this move!"
"Fire!"
"Gasoline!"
"Storm!"
Leibi turned the pen in her little hand, and three more magic spells were drawn. The wind helped the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind. The wind and fire combined to form a huge flame attack. With the help of gasoline, the power was increased by another 30%.
"sharp!"
"Come on, Rebby!"
Without mentioning the support from the audience, Dispere began his commentary on the competition on the judges' stage: "Look, everyone, after pre-match prediction, the two contestants used [Silence] and [Noise] probing attacks at the beginning of the game, attempting to create a magical terrain that would be effective against them."
"It's Levi's turn to attack now. She has used three spells in succession: fire, oil, and wind. The power of her flames is no weaker than that of Natsu, who is known as the 'Fire Dragon'. I wonder what Natsu thinks of this magic?"
Natsu leaned over to the microphone in the waiting area, "Hmm... I'm curious about what this magic tastes like. I really want to try it!"
"Okay, let me continue explaining the game. How will Kira deal with this move of Levi? Look, he used cold magic!"
On the stage, icy cold air was released from Kira's hands, extinguishing the flames released by Levi.
"No one spoke. This is not the Word Magic that the Sage Kira is best at, but a magic that he knows. I didn't expect Kira to be so good at other magics!"
On the field, the silent words gradually dimmed. Kira used the cold air in his left hand to extinguish the flames, freeing his right hand and pointing down: "Gravity!"
"Multitasking! Kira used cold magic while using word magic to exert gravity. Contestant Rei didn't react in time and she was pinned down!"
"Kira is moving forward, and now Levi can't bounce back, how will he attack?"
Disper shouted excitedly, "Oh my God! He actually stretched out his fist! Is this evil man going to hit Leibi-chan in the face? This is too much!"
"This punch took twenty years of hard work. Can our petite Reibi-chan block it?"
“I can’t stop it!!!”
