Chapter 587: In the Examination Room
"This Kira, doesn't he just know two magic tricks? Who hasn't practiced that? He's always showing off!"
“What’s so great about that!”
As if they were telepathically connected, while Kira was ecstatic, Disper was also cursing as he walked through the woods, "Mistgang can become an S-rank with just a magic wand, let alone me?"
"This time I will make sure you lose without any regrets!"
As he spoke, Disper pulled out a round metal instrument from his bosom. In the middle of the instrument was a green grid screen with names and red dots on it.
"Kira definitely doesn't know that I got a magic tracking device from Silver when I was in the Western Continent! Do you think I don't have any means of reconnaissance? How naive! Hahahaha!"
"It's this way!"
After taking a look at the direction indicated on the map, Disper felt indescribably proud and strode straight ahead!
…
“Not good… Not good…”
At this moment, Lucy was trembling, her snow-white shoulders trembling as she hid in the bushes, hugging her chubby body with both hands, "I drew Juvia's team, so I have to face Gildarts! How can I possibly beat Gildarts!!"
"If we run into him, we'll definitely be eliminated! We can only try to hide!"
"A way to hide... A way to hide... Is there any star spirit that can help me hide from others?"
"That's right! Baluge!!"
Thinking of her Virgo spirit who was very good at digging holes, Lucy's eyes suddenly lit up, and a hint of surprise appeared on her brows, "Anyway, the examination room is only limited to the front, back, left, right, and top, not underground !"
"That's right... I'm really smart! Come out! Ba..."
"Princess, did you call me?"
"I￥%...&!! Baluge??"
Suddenly hearing a voice behind her, Lucy was so frightened that she blurted out everything. The ladylike temperament that she had cultivated under her mother's teachings was gone.
Looking back again, a young girl with short pink hair, wearing a maid outfit, with a cold face but wearing punishment equipment crawled out of the ground. It was the Virgo star spirit, Baruge.
"Please punish me severely, Princess!"
Although Lucy had seen this scene countless times and was very familiar with it, she was still a little confused at this moment: "I haven't even opened the door yet! Why did you suddenly run out?"
"As a servant, it is my duty to always pay attention to the call of the princess' heart!"
Huh?! Paying attention to your inner voice at all times... Isn't this just a Peeping Tom?!
Lucy looked helpless: "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now! Baluge, I need your help now!"
"Princess, please give me your orders!"
Baruge's attitude is very positive. She is the one among all the Celestial Spirits who is most capable of doing things according to her master's wishes. Otherwise, she would not be often called the "Maid" by Natsu and others.
"Uh... help me dig a hole! I want to hide until the test is over!" Lucy said the most cowardly words in the bravest tone.
When it comes to escaping, she believes she has few rivals in this examination room.
After listening to this, Baruge was silent for two seconds. Only when he was sure that Lucy had no intention of continuing to give orders did he ask with an unsatisfied look on his face: "Eh!? Is that all? There should be more, right?! For example, punishing me with the most cruel punishment..."
"...No!! I won't treat you this way!!!"
"Eh..." Baluge looked visibly lost as usual.
Greetings are greetings, jokes are jokes, and what needs to be done still needs to be done.
"Then I will dig down from here! How deep and big does the hole need to be?" Baluge took off his training equipment and asked while looking at the soil under his feet.
Lucy habitually stretched out a delicate finger to point at her chin, and said while thinking: "Eh... How deep and how big? This... It should be enough for me to move freely, and I won't be discovered by others!"
"I understand! Please follow me!"
Perhaps knowing that Lucy didn't have a clear idea about this, Baluge didn't ask any more questions. She raised her hands high, clasped them together, kicked her legs, and jumped deep into the ground like swimming.
Click, click, click…
Mud flew everywhere, and Baluge, who seemed to be a professional whack-a-mole player, dived underground at an extremely fast speed. In a few seconds, he disappeared into the dense forest with Lucy.
…
To the east, Juvia ran into Urrutia shortly after setting out.
"She's the woman who teamed up with Gray-sama?! Damn it... Juvia is so jealous...!!!"
A feeling of facing a 'rival in love' rose in Juvia's heart.
Looking at the blue-haired woman standing not far away, emitting a gloomy aura, Urrutia was full of doubts. Even though she frowned, her tender face with light makeup was still delicate and beautiful.
"Gray's little girlfriend? Why does she seem hostile to me? Our two teams shouldn't be opponents in this level, right?"
"Never mind. I can't take the initiative to attack her anyway. I'd better find Gray or Wendy first. That magician named Dimaria is not easy to deal with."
Ultear stopped paying attention to Juvia, looked up at the direction, turned around and headed towards the place where he had agreed to meet with Gray.
Juvia, who was hiding behind a tree, completely forgot her main mission and that her enemy was Lucy. She blatantly followed Ultear: "She must be going to meet Gray-sama! As long as she follows her, Juvia will be able to find Gray-sama!!"
…
In the northeast of the examination room, two candidates for the Dragon Slayer Mages gathered together.
Natsu and Gajeel were already close to each other when they entered the arena. They both had a keen sense of smell and could smell each other soon after the test began. In addition, they were opponents in this level, so they tacitly headed directly towards each other.
"Finally, we can have a good fight this time!"
"Do you want to avenge your defeat by me?"
Back then? How long ago was that? More than a year, right? I won't live in the past forever!
Gajeel sneered, and his right hand turned into a claw and turned into cold black steel. "Before those two people who are in the way come, let's fight it out! Fire Dragon!"
"OK!"
Natsu also fought brilliantly. His left palm and right fist collided in the air, creating a boiling flame. The flames coiled up along his arms and instantly covered his entire body. The sudden change in temperature caused the air to whistle, blowing the white dragon scale scarf high up like a flag declaring war.
When it comes to fighting, Natsu has never refused anyone!
“Iron Dragon Stick!!”
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!"
…
"It seems like Natsu-san and Gajeel-san are fighting over there..."
Not far away, Wendy, who also had a keen sense of smell, looked into the distance, the confusion in her eyes flashed away, and then she rode the wind in another direction.
"Forget it, their fight has nothing to do with me, I'd better continue looking for Grayson!"
Although Wendy is small, she knows things very clearly. The most important thing for her now is the assessment, not eating melons!
"I wonder where Dimalia-san is..."
Wendy felt a little shy when talking about Dimalia. This wild older sister always touched her inappropriately, and she did it when [time stood still]. She didn't even have the ability to fight back.
What annoyed Wendy the most was that Timaria was taking advantage of her and always liked to say things like "small and cute" to her with a teasing look on her face after doing something bad. On the surface, it seemed like comforting, but Wendy felt that she was blatantly mocking her!
But these things are hard to talk about. Wendy doesn't dare tell Erza and other adults about them, and can only endure the teasing by herself.
“How embarrassing!”
For a moment, Wendy couldn't tell who she wanted to win more.
"I wonder if Urutia-san's 'Arc of Time' can resist Timaria-san's 'Seal of Time'?"
