Chapter 577 Plastic Sisters: Kana, if possible, I really don’t want to meet you...
"The difference in strength? Now that you put it that way, it does seem to be the case."
Elfman shook his big muscles and said, "I heard that the two women from the Western Continent couldn't even beat Laxus and Erza together, and they are just one of the so-called 'Twelve Shields', equivalent to the strength of the 'First of the Ten Saints'. It's incredible to think about it."
Lisanna rested her chin on the table with both hands, and then echoed her brother's words: "Yeah! Can we really complete the assessment with them around? It's almost as if they are the ones doing the assessment..."
To be honest, Lisanna herself didn't expect that she would be able to participate in the S-level assessment this year, even though her strength was not that strong.
"I think the president and his men should be able to take this into consideration..."
Felide's eyes flickered, and he was a little unhappy about the two siblings mentioning Laxus's defeat. "This is our exam after all. With the first generation here, she will definitely make good arrangements for strength."
The name of 'Fairy Strategist' has long been known within the guild. Even if no one has seen it with their own eyes, everyone firmly believes in this title. This is the unique trust that belongs to 'Fairy Tail'.
"Forming a team with a powerful wizard is also a training for us. Seeing a wizard of that level in person may inspire us to fight. I think the president and others should think so."
I have to admit that Philid is indeed a little smarter than the others. He can understand a little bit of the game plan from their past experiences and their personalities, but not much.
"What we should worry about now is who our teammates are! We will enter the assessment as 'candidates + supporters'. If we are matched with strong teammates, the assessment will be relatively easy; otherwise, it will become very difficult."
Bigusro stuck out his tongue and chuckled, "If we talk about the strongest one, it should be Kira, right?"
Ever since Kira defeated Gildarts in the last Harvest Festival, he has become the strongest person in the guild. Even though Gildarts's weight in everyone's hearts remains the same, his status has become second.
"That Serena and Disper are also very strong! One possesses eight types of dragon-slaying magic, and the other is Kira's counterpart. I heard him say that his strength is on par with Kira's!"
"Women who use time magic and shape magic are also very difficult to deal with! The latter can only be resisted with sufficient magic power; but it is almost impossible to deal with the former's time-stopping magic!"
"If it's Urrutia's Arc of Time, maybe it can be of some use."
After some discussion, they still couldn't decide who was the strongest and how to deal with these supporters - after all, they were still too weak and lacked combat experience and coping capabilities in this area.
"The strongest is controversial, then the weakest..."
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately answered: "The weakest one should be Kana!"
"It should be Kana!"
"Kana!"
"I think it's Kana!"
Several people spoke in unison, and then they were all stunned. They looked at each other in bewilderment, and there was an awkward atmosphere in the air.
The substitutes are strong and weak, and the same is true for foreign players.
For the former, Levi and Lisanna can fight for the second to last position; as for the latter... there is no doubt that the weakest one is Kana.
Although she has become much stronger in the past year, she still cannot compare with others in terms of talent. Among that group of people, she is almost like a husky among wolves.
"Ahem...it seems like no one wants to be teammates with Cana..."
Lucy/Levy/Wendy/Lisanna: "Sorry, Kana! It's not nice to think this way, but if I can help it, I really don't want to be matched with you..."
(Kana is not here:??)
"Lucy-san, didn't you work with Kana-san to get her to S-rank last year? You should have a good understanding, right?"
Wendy's voice was delicate, but it sounded a little teaspy at this moment.
What rank is Lucy? Of course, she would not be asked by Wendy, and immediately said righteously: "Of course! Cana and I are very good sisters!"
(Levy on the side secretly glanced at Lucy: Lucy-chan!! Isn’t I your best sister?! So sad!!… I’ll go to Gajeel for comfort!)
"But we can't control who we're matched with. Since the president and his team are using the lottery method, they want to ensure the randomness of the team formation. This will test whether we can form a tacit understanding with our teammates in the shortest possible time..."
She said a lot of things, but few people listened to her because Lucy really lacked confidence.
The girls understood what was said but they didn't show any weird expressions. In the competition to become an S-class wizard, no sisterly love can compare to a strong teammate.
Plastic sisters are nothing more than that.
Several sensitive boys also heard it, but Natsu was not among them. He was waving his fist excitedly: "Wouldn't it be great to team up with Cana? In this way, as long as I win, wouldn't it be the same as winning one against two?!"
After hearing this, everyone complained in their hearts: But you have to be able to win!
…
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time to gather three days later.
As the warm December sunshine spread across the land of Magnolia, Natsu and the other twelve candidates gathered at the entrance of the guild carrying their luggage, ready to head to the assessment site.
The familiar cool magic airship parked at the entrance of the guild, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch. This time, they were not like elementary school students on a spring outing, but more like graduation exams. Everyone was well prepared and took a special car to an unknown examination room a thousand miles away to complete an exam that would end their studies.
Since Makarov had not informed them how long the assessment would take, Natsu and the others brought camping necessities with them in case of any accidents. This is a habit that a qualified wizard needs to have when going out.
"President! Can we really go together?"
At the entrance of the guild, three kittens, Hapy, Xialulu and Lili, came to Makarov with excited expressions.
Originally, they felt sorry for not being able to take part in their partner's S-level assessment, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and after , they were notified that they were allowed to go together.
Of course they have to go!
Makarov smiled, his Mediterranean hairdo looked so bright in the sun. He stroked his remaining beard and answered kindly, "Of course!"
“Yeah!!”
Happy was the happiest. Everyone else in the team went out, so if it and Xia Lulu stayed in the guild... it didn't seem unacceptable. But it was more fun to go to the test site with Natsu and go camping!
However, before he could be happy for long, Kira pinched his cheeks with a sly smile: "After all, if there is a mission to pass on a message, you three little ones will be needed to run errands!"
"Yeah?? Why is this happening?!!"
"Since you're going with me, it's only natural for me to help out a little, right? If Wendy follows you to the wilderness, I don't know how much suffering she'll have to endure..."
Xia Lulu still has her tsundere nature. Even though she didn't say it explicitly, her tone was full of love and care for Wendy.
"With so many brothers, sisters, uncles and grandfathers here, how can a little girl have a chance to suffer? Even if she has to suffer, it is a test that she must go through in the assessment and a test for her growth..."
Unfortunately, Xia Lulu didn't listen to a word of Kira's assurance, and acted like an old mother who was worried that her daughter would be bullied when she went out.
Lili was much more direct. He stood beside the two cats with his arms folded, his eyes full of anticipation for the assessments in the next few days. "I also want to see how strong those people are! I heard before that they are almost the top wizards in this world!"
"What are you guys still dawdling for?! Come up here quickly!!"
“Ohhhh!!!”
The three little ones spread their snow-white wings and flew towards their respective partners.
Half an hour later, everyone had gathered.
Under the envious and yearning gazes of the other guild members, the airship made a thunderous sound and flew towards the east with 28 people and three cats on board.
