"Fred Justin!"
"I will catch up with Laxus!" Freed murmured softly.
"Rabby McGarden!"
"I...have I finally been selected?" Leby's little face turned a little rosy from excitement.
"Meester Gleda!"
The last person whose name was called did not express himself.
On the contrary, the surrounding crowd felt a little sorry for Meister's record last year.
"The above are the participants of this S-rank mage!"
Makarov glanced at the few people whose names were called, and said in a deep voice.
The voice just fell,
The entire guild became noisy again, and two emotions of loss and excitement began to pass through the guild.
"Wow~~ You have worked very hard, but you still haven't been selected this year..."
Arzak squatted aside, his mentality exploded.
"There's still next year, so don't be sad." Biska at the side comforted her intimately.
"Lebby has finally been chosen!"
Jeter and Doria embraced each other excitedly, dancing and celebrating Rebby.
"Natsu also work hard!"
"Grey too!"
"It's not bad."
"Yeah, everyone looks happy."
Discussions continue to resound.
Beside Makao, his young son Romeo was staring at the chosen ones with his eyes wide open.
Cheeks are also flushed with excitement:
"It's amazing! An S-rank mage! When I grow up, I will definitely...``..."
Lucy finally figured out why everyone started working so hard recently.
"It turned out that everyone wanted to be selected, so they desperately expressed themselves."
"Wow~ It's amazing!"
Wendy on the side shouted excitedly: "Everyone, please do your best!"
"By the way..." Lucy seemed to remember what happened some time ago.
He looked in the direction of Karna.
Unlike the excitement or cheers of others, today's Kana seems out of tune with the surrounding environment.
It's completely like a lonely girl who takes the initiative to break away from the crowd.
"Is that... why Karna wants to leave the guild?"
With such thoughts in mind, Lucy's expression became a little dignified.
"Why...why wasn't I selected?"
The corner of Gajeel's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he murmured, "Obviously even Juvia was selected..."
"I've heard from everyone in the guild that you don't seem to be trusted because of your status in the guild." Lili said, turning his back on Gajeel.
"I don't have one!"
"All of this is hidden. Although I really want to say...but I can't say...I..."
Gajeel retorted loudly, wanting to say something.
However, he remembered that as a spy who sneaked into the crow's tail, he had to keep a distance from everyone in the guild.
This led to the situation of not being trusted by everyone in the guild.
Thinking of this, Gajeel finally chose to shut up helplessly.
Listen to the noise all around.
Xia Lulu shook her head helplessly: "Really, this guild is still as noisy as ever...!!"
Before she finished speaking, Xia Lulu's body froze abruptly.
"Huh? Is there something wrong? Xia Lulu?"
Wendy at the side noticed something was wrong with Xia Lulu, and couldn't help asking.
"No... nothing..." Xia Lulu shook her head softly.
'What was that... just now? ’ In my heart, I couldn't help recalling the picture that flashed in my mind just now.
Like shattered glass shards.
One after another, incomplete, or even irrelevant pictures emerged in its mind.
Howling Karna...
The shivering Natsu...
A black-haired man I had never seen before.
And... the darkness covering the sky... and the figure standing in front of the darkness as if resisting something.
"That black-haired man... who the hell..."
"And what is that darkness?"
Xia Lulu's anomaly was not discovered by too many people.
Even Wendy was fooled by it.
After all, it was just fragments, so Xia Lulu didn't dare to draw conclusions at all.
The crowd is still boisterous.
Makarov above also began to explain some precautions for this assessment.
"For this assessment, only one passer will be selected from among the eight contestants. The examination is scheduled for a week later. You all need to adjust your status."
"Because of this assessment, many people are participating for the first time, so let me explain the rules first." Miraj answered.
"For the eight selected players, each of you needs to choose one person to be your partner within this week."
"And there are two rules for choosing a partner." Erza said.
"First, the partner must be a member of Fairy Tail."
"Second, you cannot choose an active S-rank mage as your partner."
The voices of Milaj and Erza just fell.
The discussion sounded again.
".‖ Sure enough, the assessment rules are different every year." Gray said.
"Partner? This assessment will also test the tacit understanding of the partners, as well as bonds or something..."
Lucy murmured.
"That is to say, you can't choose Xingchen, Erza, Miraj, and Kildas as partners, right?" Lili clasped his arms.
Analyzing calmly.
"It's reasonable to think so. If you form a team with Brother Xingchen and the others, it would be too powerful."
Wendy said with a smile.
"The specific rules will be announced after arriving at Sirius Island, but don't take any chances."
"This time, there are also four S-level mages who are blocking your progress."
Luo Xingchen stared at the members below and spoke slowly.
"Eh--?!"
As soon as Luo Xingchen's words fell, countless people at the scene were shocked in an instant.
"The four S-level mages...couldn't they be the four standing on the stage?" Lucy covered her mouth in surprise.
"Please... please wait a moment..." Looking at the people above,
Elfman's eyes widened in horror.
"Could it be that... Xingchen and Kildas will also participate?!" Happy yelled in disbelief.
You know, the S-level assessments in recent years,
Both Luo Xingchen and Kildas did not participate for some reason.
Even Laxus has not been an examiner in recent years.
But even so,
Just the existence of Erza and Milaj.
In the past few years, none of the S-level mages could pass the examination.
"That is to say... you can't become an S-rank wizard if you don't hit the four people above?!"
Lucy's eyes bulged in horror when she heard about this rule for the first time.
"So, you understand how difficult it is."
Biska on the side sighed deeply.
"However, they will more or less put a little water." Wo Lian said.
"Stop complaining, this is the only way to become an S-class mage!"
Gildas smiled loudly.
"Finally, the selected eight contestants and their respective partners will meet in Harujion Harbor a week later."
"This ends the explanation!"
After saying these words, Makarov, Luo Xingchen and others walked off the stage.
Only a group of members who have not recovered from their senses are left... Phi.
Chapter 302 Partner, Tangled Juvia
Magronia, in the Fairy Tail guild.
After just announcing the rules for the S-level assessment.
Erza and Milaj followed Makarov to make a series of preparations.
As for Kildas, he chose to go home and sleep.
According to his words, he is still a patient recently and needs enough sleep.
As for Luo Xingchen, since there were enough people to arrange the assessment site, Luo Xingchen also became idle.
I happened to see Naz and others gathered around a table, seeming to be discussing something.
Luo Xingchen, who had nothing to do, came over.
"Eh?! In other words, this time Natsu and Gray are only participating for the second time?"
Once here, Luo Xingchen heard Lucy's exclamation.
"Ah... the last time seemed to be three years ago, and I was really beaten badly that time."
Gray seems to have thought of some unbearable past events.
