Chapter 49: Battle at the Harvest Festival
Rubber is an insulator and immune to lightning. This is what Kira learned in One Piece . As for whether this is scientifically correct, he can only say that this is a magical world now!
It was not the first time that everyone had seen Kira's strange magic items, but they did not expect that he had something like this: "Rubber shield... do you even have something like this?"
To be honest, this thing is really useless except for its effect against lightning wizards. Kira obviously made this thing to defend against Laxus, and it seems that this shield is more useful than Erza's Thunder Emperor Armor!
Of course it is. How can the equipment you sell to others be better than the equipment you use yourself?
Besides, Erza's armor is used for fighting, and my shield is used for defense. The starting points of equipment forging are different, and the shield's lightning resistance is obviously better.
"I haven't practiced with you in a while, how about it Laxus? Want to fight? I'm in a good mood!"
Laxus' veins popped up: "Just what I want! Come on, Kira! Today, let the two of us decide who is the strongest in Fairy Tail!"
"The strongest? Just the two of you?" Erza stood up unhappily, "You're underestimating the others!"
The three people's eyes met in the air, lightning entangled, armor covered, and words suddenly appeared. The three auras became more and more powerful, shocking the other people present to tremble and dare not speak. They were excited about this good show and surprised at the strength of the three people.
Seeing that these three guys were about to attack if they disagreed, Markov panicked and shouted, "Stop it! What do you want to do? Destroy the house?"
“Hey, old man, it was Kira who provoked me first! Since you did something like this, you should be prepared to be punished by me!”
Laxus completely ignored Markrov's dissuasion. His only target now was Kira, and he didn't even take Erza seriously.
Kira also patted Markrov's shoulder and advised with a smile: "Don't be nervous, President. People in the guild have loved to fight for a long time. It's no big deal."
His eyes were full of interest and fighting spirit, which was rare. Although he loved watching people fight, he rarely joined in the fight himself.
Natsu on the side was immediately unhappy. His mind was not quick, but he didn't think too much. He only knew that Killer rejected him, but challenged Laxus to a fight: "Kira, you guy, didn't you just say you were tired and didn't want to fight?"
Happy complained: "Natsu, that's just an excuse Kira made up because he didn't want to fight you..."
"But the president is right. It would be bad if the guild is destroyed!" Kira was the first to retract his magic, then turned around and shouted to the people in the guild, "Everyone! The Harvest Festival will be here soon. It's boring to have a beauty pageant every year. Let's have something fun this year!"
Markov's hair stood on end and a bad feeling came over him!
Come to bring pain? What does this guy want to do? ! He doesn't want to tear down Magnolia? !
As expected, Kira's words sparked a discussion among the people in the guild.
"Aren't beauty pageants great?"
“That’s right!”
"The girls are so fragrant, soft, white and cute. Is there anything more satisfying than this?"
"What? What does Kira want to do? Is he going to have a decisive battle with Laxus?"
"What does Kira want to do again?"
"It's going to be a good show!"
Heated discussions filled the entire tavern. Everyone's face was filled with excitement and excitement, except for Markov's face, which turned pale and green at once.
"Quiet!"
Kira jumped onto the bar and shouted again. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Kira quietly, waiting for him to speak.
Seeing everyone's eagerly awaited expressions, Kira grinned and announced loudly: "At this year's Harvest Festival, let's hold a competition for the 'Strongest Person in Fairy Tail'! Except for the president, everyone in the guild must participate to determine the strongest among us!!!"
Gurgle...
Everyone was speechless at Kira's words, and it was unclear whether they wanted to or not.
Finished! Looking at the expressions of these guys, Markov held his forehead with his hands. It was obvious that these belligerent guys were going crazy with excitement!
It's fine to form a team to do the task, that's work, but doing this at the festival? Or all the guild members ? This is really going to tear down Magnolia!
Sure enough, after three seconds of silence, the entire Fairy Tail burst into excited shouts!
"Oh oh oh oh!!!"
"Great!!!"
"I want to participate!! I want to participate!!!"
"Fairy Tail competition? It sounds exciting!"
"How are we going to compete? Just a free-for-all?"
“I’m on fire!!”
Listening to the shouts and screams of the people around him, Kira looked up at Laxus with a smile: "What do you think Laxus? Let's leave the decisive battle for then!"
Holding a competition within the guild is something Kira has always wanted to do.
If we follow the timeline of the original work, Laxus will start a civil war at that time. Because of his joining, Kira is not sure whether he will cause other accidents at that time.
Therefore, by replacing civil war with another peaceful method, we can take the initiative into our own hands!
When the time comes, won’t it be up to you to decide how to compete?
Perhaps you can refer to the format of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Show, with team formation, mazes, climbing mountains and diving into the sea, melees, and so much more you can do!
Laxus looked at Kira, a mad smile on his face: "Just what I want!"
"I was really scared just now. I thought they were really going to fight, but I didn't expect there would be such a turn."
After Laxus left, Lucy said this while lying on the table in a listless manner, listening with lingering fear to the endless discussions of the people around her.
"It's just that the final battle has been postponed, but it will be really exciting to watch! I'm really looking forward to this year's harvest festival!"
"Who do you think will win?"
"Hard to say."
"It's open, it's open..."
Listening to the discussion in the guild, Markov felt a little uneasy. He had raised these children, and now they were all in their rebellious period. What would he do in the future? "These children are really a worry!"
Amid the noise, Lucy asked the bartender Mira about something that had been bothering her: "What did the president mean by not being able to go up to the second floor?"
"It's a little early for you," Mira explained to her patiently, "The tasks on the first floor task board are incomparable to those on the second floor. The tasks on the second floor are S-level tasks."
"S-rank??!!"
"It's an extremely dangerous mission where even the slightest misjudgment can lead to death, but the rewards are considerable . Only wizards recognized by the guild master can take on S-rank missions, and there are only six people in the guild who are qualified."
"It doesn't matter if you don't take S-rank missions. No matter how many lives you have, it won't be enough for such missions."
Lucy didn't think about who Mira said the six people were, she just smiled awkwardly: "That's true..."
