Chapter 578: Respective Teammates
It was cold and windy at high altitudes, but since the airship had its own windproof barrier, they just felt refreshed at the moment.
It was just that Makarov was old and his body was not strong enough, so he would shiver from time to time, which made Preshito dislike him. However, despite his dislike, the old man still shared a cup of health tea in his hand.
As for the equally old Auguste...
All I can say is that there are differences between old people!
Although he also has white hair, wrinkles on his face and a long beard, Auguste looks strong and energetic, without any signs of fatigue that one would expect from a man in his 80s.
The others were much better. They played, quarreled, drank, and chirped so much that you'd have thought there were more than 20 ducks quacking above them.
Boom! Boom!
After drinking the tea, Makarov seemed to feel relaxed all over. A warmth surged from his stomach to his whole body, dispelling the unbearable cold.
"Well, now everyone come over and draw lots to match your teammates for this assessment. Those who draw the same number will become teammates, and that number will be your team number!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three cats, Habby, Xia Lulu and Lili, flew out of the room, dragging two cardboard boxes in their hands.
Ten minutes later, with Mavis's final stroke, the team situation for this assessment was revealed to everyone: "So, the team situation for this S-level assessment is as follows."
"Team 1: Wendy, Dimalia!"
"Is this little girl forming a team? It seems very interesting~"
Since their first meeting, Timalia had been eyeing Wendy and couldn't wait to get close to her, but she never had the chance. Now that she heard that she would team up with her, she couldn't contain her excitement.
Wendy naturally saw this expression and couldn't help but shudder: "Please...please give me more advice!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach you well ..." Dimalia licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue, her eyes like a she-wolf seeing a fat sheep.
Wendy: Scared...
"Team 2: Gajeel, Disper!"
"Hehehe... I matched with an incredible guy!"
Gajeel was very satisfied with this teammate. He had heard about how Disper defeated Serena with swordsmanship, and was basically certain that he was one of the strongest among the supporters and his strength was not much weaker than Kira.
The two of them have a connection. You know, when Disper first appeared, he used the head of his old boss Gajeel to get to the top.
"Team 3: Juvia, Gildarts!"
Juvia didn't react. In her eyes, there were only two kinds of people, one was "Gray-sama" and the other was "others".
In contrast, Gildarts was very happy. After all, for him, teaming up with a young and beautiful girl was definitely better than teaming up with a man: "Hehe... Leave it to me, little girl!"
"Team 4: Gray, Urrutia!"
"This is a rare opportunity. Let me teach you the true meaning of Ice Sculpting!"
"Are you going to fight with ice shape magic? Then you can't lose the reputation of Uru!"
As Uru's daughter and disciple, the two have a bond that no one else has. Ice shaping magic can serve as a bridge to connect their magic power, and perhaps they can perform super-standard combined magic.
Moreover, the two of them have learned the Arc of Time and the Ice Demon-Destroying Technique respectively, and can be said to be the pair with the best magical compatibility.
"Team 5: Alba Green, Erza!"
"This is truly the team of 'Fairy' and 'Queen'!"
Although she has always coveted Erza's title of 'Fairy Queen', Alba Green is still very impressed by Erza's strength and luck. With such a person as a helper, this assessment may not be hopeless.
"Team 6: Ferid, Gerald!"
Both of them are taciturn handsome men with above-average IQs. After learning about their teammates, there was not much communication and they just nodded in acknowledgement.
Although Felide felt a little disappointed that he didn't match Laxus, he also knew that the probability of this happening was only one in twelve. How could it be such a coincidence that he would encounter such a good thing?
"Team 7: Lisanna, Laxus!"
"Leave the assessment to me!"
“Yes…Yes!!”
Lisanna seemed a little restrained, because Laxus's expression was too cold - although that was already his enthusiastic expression. But when the two of them stood together, they had a sense of CP of a domineering man and a weak sister.
"Team 8: Elfman, Kana!"
"It seems there is no hope this year..." Elfman was depressed and looked as pale as death.
This terrible remark directly made Kana so angry that she smashed the bottle in her hand on his head: "What do you mean by that, you bastard? ! ! Who are you looking down on? ! ! "
Even though I am the weakest among the twelve, I am still a real S-class wizard after all!!
"Team 9: Levi, Serena!"
"Huh?! That's great!!" Leibi's eyes were shining and her excited expression was so adorable.
It's safe, it's safe. The weight of being the first in the Holy Ten is not to be underestimated! With such a person as a teammate, there may be hope this year!
“What a perfect combination from God!”
After a period of hard work in losing weight and practicing, Serena has almost reduced the fat on his belly. At this moment, he is the same as usual, with his middle school spirit burning in his heart.
No matter who he faces, he has enough confidence to lead the team. As for whether he can achieve the final victory, that is not something he can guarantee: "I should be able to fight Gildarts and Kira this time!"
"Team 10: Bigusro, Mira!"
"Please give me your guidance!" Mira smiled sweetly, exuding a gentle aura.
"I'll leave it to you this time!"
Although he said so, Bigusro was very clear in his heart that he knew that relying on his and Mira's strength, there was not much hope of standing out among so many big guys.
"It's okay to just treat it as a training exercise... Try harder next year!"
"Team 11: Lucy, Brandish!"
Lucy knew she had found a powerful person, so she put her hands together and said earnestly, "Please!! It's all up to you this time!!"
"Don't hold me back."
Brandish took a sip of the hot drink and spoke in a cold tone, but to Lucy it meant "Don't worry, I've got you covered."
"Finally, Team 12: Natsu and Kira!"
"Huh? A solo team-up with Natsu... come to think of it, the last time was several years ago, right?"
"Of course it's because I'm getting stronger!!" Natsu had an excited smile on his face, "Kira, will you fight me after this is over?"
"Hehe...wait until you get the S-rank title!"
Kira paused and added, "Or if you perform well in this assessment and defeat someone who is important enough, I can give you a chance!"
As for whether the portion is enough, it is entirely up to you!
"Don't worry! I will definitely pass the S-level test this year! I'm already excited!!"
"With a teammate like me who has both strength and intelligence, even a harpy can become S-rank..." Kira boasted shamelessly, looking very proud.
Isn't that too contemptuous?!
This one sentence caused a huge uproar, and everyone stared at him and Natsu beside him with unfriendly eyes.
Kira pretended not to notice the fighting spirit of the crowd and patted Natsu beside him, "How about it, Natsu? Do you have the confidence to defeat all these people?"
“Of course!!”
Natsu was so eager to fight that he spoke without thinking - of course, even if he had thought, with his IQ he would not have been able to detect Kira's provocation.
Everyone: ? ?
"So you're brave, Natsu?"
Habib's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but sweat for his old partner: Don't agree, Natsu! Look at their faces! ! Such dangerous eyes! Such dangerous tone! Such dangerous...
"Nonsense, I'm super brave, okay!"
What are you talking about, Natsu? ! !
Happy covered his eyes in despair.
