Chapter 631 Daily Life - Christmas Carnival (2) Racing
Mira smiled gently, but the words she said were enough to scare half of Magnolia.
If this was said in the guild, it would not be surprising, and the people who heard it would not be scared, because everyone was used to it. When the group heard that Mira and Erza were going to have a duel, the most they would do was to make a fuss, persuade them to fight, make a bet to see who would be the final winner, and then watch the fun with drinking and joking.
When the two strongest female magicians in the guild get angry, breaking tables and chairs is just a common thing. Even if they destroy the guild, it won’t be a big problem!
But now they are outside the guild tavern!
It would be very dangerous to talk about a duel in a small town, at a large festival or carnival like this!
Kira's eyelids jumped, and he observed a three-second silence for all the contestants in advance. He looked at the door of the passerby who was destined to spend an "unforgettable day" and a "dangerous Christmas day", his eyes full of sympathy.
After a moment, Kira decided to remind them: "Well... when you drive later, you'd better pay attention to the rules..."
Unfortunately, Kira's reminder sounded like a provocation to the contestants!
Before he could finish his words, an irritable old man who didn't know how to live or die and didn't listen to others' advice walked up to Kira and looked at him unkindly: "Kid, what did you just say?"
"Don't think you can act so cool just because you're handsome! We're professional racers!!"
The grumpy old man puffed out his chest, looking extremely proud.
"That's right...when it comes to driving and racing, we are all professionals!"
Apparently, Kira's name was only well-known in the magic world, and not everyone in the Kingdom of Fiore knew him as the star wizard!
As the saying goes, good words can't persuade a damned devil. Seeing that the racers had no intention of listening to his advice, Kira could only sigh helplessly and leave.
Anyway, Kira is not worried about his own safety. He is not afraid even if Erza and Mira join forces, let alone a mere racing car? !
Kira looked towards Mira and Erza again, and suddenly noticed that there was a girl behind Mira: "Huh? Lisanna? You're here too? Sorry I didn't see you just now."
"Hehe... Never mind. I've gotten used to being invisible anyway." Lisanna's eyes twitched, and her fake smile was already three points as good as Mira's.
Since returning to Ascalante, she found that her presence in the guild was becoming less and less.
During this period of time, Lisanna has been silently reflecting on her position in the guild. She found that the impression she gave to others seemed to have always been that of a "sister-type character who is easily forgotten."
It goes without saying that Erza and Mira are the two most powerful characters in the guild, both in terms of appearance and strength; Cana has a distinct personality and outstanding features; people like Levi, Lucy, Juvia, Bisca, and Alba Green have made great progress in their strength and their popularity has gradually increased because of their passionate romances in the guild!
Looking at myself, both my strength and popularity have been standing still!
In the popularity ranking of female wizards of "Fairy Tail" published by Magnolia magazine this year, her popularity is only higher than that of Ginana, Lucky and a few others!
In the popularity ranking of all guild members, regardless of gender, her ranking was even worse, barely above the duo of Sarusuk and Doler who were used to create atmosphere in the guild!
It's such a shame!
"Is it really because I'm not in a relationship and don't have anyone I admire?"
The girl's wild thoughts did not attract anyone's attention. Mira and Erza were still building up their strength, preparing to shake each other off in the next game. Only Kira noticed that she had not left yet.
"Are you going to join us, Lisanna?"
Lisanna paused, then came to her senses and smiled faintly at Kira: "No, I just came here to cheer for Sister Mira!"
Kira nodded, and looked around again, noticing that one of the three siblings was missing: "Where's Elfman?"
"Well... guess what?" The girl tilted her head, raised the corner of her mouth, and looked mysterious.
"How rare? He must be out on a date with his girlfriend!" Kira said calmly.
"Uh..." Lisanna was suddenly embarrassed.
From the other person's expression, Kira knew he was right.
Soon, the race was about to begin, and the contestants were driving their racing motorcycles, ready to go at the starting line.
"It's been a long time since we last had a duel, Erza!"
"I won't let you go!"
Compared to Mira who is dressed normally, Erza's look is more racing-like. She wears a red and white racing driver suit and a black helmet on her head. Her serious expression, heroic posture and attractive figure have attracted countless contestants and spectators.
It is a pity that Erza and Mira only have each other in their eyes and completely ignore Kira, the strong rival. Maybe in their eyes, only each other is the opponent that must be defeated, and others are insignificant.
BANG!!
Gunshots rang out and the car moved.
Dozens of contestants shot out with a whoosh, as fast as a startled wild goose. Wherever they passed was like a hurricane, leaving only trails of white air behind.
"It's so tense and exciting! This is what speed and passion are all about!"
At the start of the race, Erza and Mira were far ahead, with the two cars driving side by side. The rest were left far behind, with the third place having a gap of four or five meters between them.
The track shuttles through the streets of Magnolia, straight or curved, and it is impossible without superb driving skills. Kira happened to be not very talented in driving, so he could only rely on his courage of "not fearing death" to speed up, and barely managed to get the 13th place.
The entire track is not very long. It takes about thirty minutes to drive at normal speed. For a racing track like this, it may only take fifteen minutes.
Ten minutes later, Kira became seventh place, while Erza and Mira were still tied for first place.
"Erza and Mira...did they spend the time they normally spend practicing magic on honing their driving skills?! Their magic power hasn't increased much, but they drive really well! The people behind them can only see their exhaust..."
Kira was complaining to himself when he suddenly felt a wave of magical power coming from behind him.
"Huh?? Someone used magic?"
In terms of the perception of magic, Kira was second to none among the people present, so he quickly figured out what was going on and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "Using magic to participate in the competition, this is too foul!"
Even a powerful magician like me can't do anything, and you're trying to show off your skills before an expert?
The host used a crystal projection to broadcast the race in real time: "We can see that the current leaders are still No. 3 and No. 7..."
"No! Wait!! What is that?! There's a car approaching fast!! It's contestant number 15!! He has surpassed contestants number 3 and 7 and is now number one!"
Contestant No. 15 was a passerby with an abstract face. With a roar, he easily surpassed Erza and Mira, who had been in the first place since the beginning of the race, and his motorcycle emitted a large amount of exhaust gas and rushed in front of the two.
"This is magic!! Contestant No. 15 used magic!! But... there is no rule against using magic in this competition, so what he did is not against the rules!"
"I'm sorry, ladies, I'm sure to win this game!"
The man turned around and sneered in a very arrogant manner.
Kira: “…”
You, you cheated in the game, and you even mocked! You mocked, but you picked on those two female demons! Do you think your life is too long? I didn't even dare to intervene in their duel, I just watched from afar! You...just wish you good luck!
As expected, Passerby A's behavior directly angered Erza and Mira. They both looked cold and released their magic power.
"What did you say?!"
"Are you looking for death?!"
"Using magic isn't against the rules, right?"
"Who do you think you're competing against?!"
A bad feeling surged up in Passerby A's heart. The powerful magic power directly pressed him to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat, his face turning pale: "Wait... wait... I was wrong!! I..."
But it's too late!
"Full body reception, Sera!"
"Everyone listen to my orders... stop the car!!"
Under the power of the curse, a large number of contestants uncontrollably stopped their accelerators, slowed down and stopped their cars, and the same happened to contestant No. 15 who was leading by magic.
"What's going on?! My body is moving on its own!!"
"I don't want to stop! I want to drive! Please let me drive!!"
"Being forced to sleep by Miss Mira's order... It's really an honor for me!!!"
Under the influence of the command spell, the track was in chaos, but the chaos was not over yet!
"Change your outfit and become the Sword of Poseidon!!"
A red magic light flashed, and a sword made of water appeared out of thin air in Erza's right hand. She was doing two things at once, controlling the motorcycle with her left hand, and raising the Poseidon Sword with her right hand and slashing it hard on the ground!
boom!!
Wherever the magic power passed, the water rushed and roared like fierce waves. Almost all the contestants on the track were swept in and washed out of the track by the sea in the blink of an eye!
“Ahhh…what is this?!!!”
“Why are there waves here on the track?!”
"Danger! Hide quickly... Gurgle..."
Half a minute later, there were only three cars left on the entire track.
Erza and Mira were still in front, and Kira followed slowly behind. He was not wet at all from person to car, and the changes around him seemed to have nothing to do with him at all.
…
“The game is over!”
"The champion is contestant number 3, Erza Shukleto!!"
"The runner-up is contestant number 7, Mirajane Strauss!!"
"The third place winner is contestant No. 21, Kira Hopelet!!!"
"Let's congratulate them!!"
Under the stunned gaze of the audience, the host announced the results of the three people, and then tremblingly handed the three prizes to Kira and the other two, and then retreated immediately, fearing that if he retreated too slowly, the two women in front of him would order him to sleep, or take him away by a flood.
Holding the 20,000J prize in his hand, Kira felt very happy and his body felt relaxed after exercise.
"Ohhhhhh... this game is really easy!"
