With a long sigh, he said:
"Afterwards, the president felt that this fire-breathing **** and I were not strong enough for the job, and said that he planned to let us grow up, so we would not be there for the next few years."
"What, I'm not at the same level as I was three years ago!"
"I will definitely become an S-rank wizard this year!"
Natsu clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.
"This year's difficulty is very high."
Luo Xingchen came over and patted the excited Natsu on the shoulder.
"Master Xingchen! This way!"
Seeing Luo Xingchen's arrival,
Juvia, who had been sullenly sitting across from Natsu, immediately became excited.
He hurriedly squeezed in the direction of Lucy, vacating a narrower position.
"Hey... don't be so anxious..."
Lucy, who was almost squeezed off the bench, sighed helplessly.
"Oh, thanks Juvia."
After thanking her softly, Luo Xingchen came to the seat and sat down.
"It's okay, Master Xingchen!"
Seeing Luo Xingchen who was so close at hand, her cheeks turned a little rosy unconsciously.
Then Juvia responded excitedly.
"Having said that, this year's assessment is indeed as difficult as Xingchen said." Gray said opposite.
"There are so many contestants at one time, even if I have enough confidence, I am afraid that victory will not come so easily."
"Wow~ Man Elfman, why is the S-class road getting farther and farther away?!"
Elfman hugged his head in horror and wailed.
"It seems that everyone is very nervous." Wendy said aloud.
"So, you should prepare well this week, the road to S-rank is not that simple." Luo Xingchen propped his chin with one hand.
He watched with great interest the group of people who were about to take part in the assessment.
"Anyway, everyone, let's do our best!" Lisanna walked over with a tray.
While talking, he handed the milk on the tray to Luo Xingchen,
Seemingly thinking of something, he asked:
"Speaking of which, have you selected your partners yet?"
"The Fried over there (bjaa) has been confirmed." As she spoke, she pointed to Fried and Biguslow who were chatting happily.
"Thunder Gods, it's not surprising that they will become partners." Lucy said.
"For me, of course it's Hobby!" Natsu looked at the blue cat beside him.
"Love!" At this moment, Happy also became serious.
He stood up from the table, raised his blue paw, and spoke confidently:
"I will definitely make Natsu an S-class wizard!"
"That's right, even if I'm a companion, I will never back down!" Natsu also echoed.
"Indeed, a good momentum."
Luo Xingchen on the side put the milk cup in his hand on the table and nodded slightly.
"Oh oh oh! I'm already on fire, let's do emergency training!"
Natsu yelled and ran out.
"Love!" Happy flapped his wings and followed Natsu's pace.
"Ah, ah, it seems that Naz is very excited." Lisanna shook her head helplessly.
"No way, that guy has such a personality, and he has indeed paid a lot for this assessment, so it's normal to have expectations." Luo Xingchen said.
"That... that... uh..."
At this moment,
Juvia, who was sitting next to Luo Xingchen, twisted her body, as if she was struggling with something.
"What's the matter, Juvia?"
Noticing Juvia's abnormality, Luo Xingchen couldn't help asking.
"That... Juvia... Juvia wants to abstain..."
After a while, Juvia said this sentence.
But instantly surprised everyone present.
"Eh?! Why?" Wendy exclaimed.
"Because...because if you participate...you may face Lord Xingchen, but...Juvia doesn't intend to be hostile to Lord Xingchen..."
Juvia whispered timidly.
"Antagonize me?" Luo Xingchen was taken aback.
Then he smiled dumbly and said, "You don't have to worry about this, not to mention that the chance of you meeting me is not high, even if you do meet me."
"It's just the examiner's assessment of the candidates. The purpose is to test your strength, and it doesn't mean that you are an enemy. Besides, if you can meet, I hope you will give it your best."
"The S-level assessment is sacred, and it is also a very important assessment that will determine your future path!"
"I also hope that you can stand out and become an S-rank wizard."
Staring blankly at the face of Luo Xingchen who was close at hand.
Juvia's cheeks flushed again.
His eyes were a little dodgy and he lowered his head: "If...if it's Master Xingchen's expectation...Juvia...Juvia will definitely work hard to become an S-class mage!"
"Work hard." With a slight smile, Luo Xingchen turned his head.
"In that case, let's team up with Juvia!" At this moment, Lisanna on the side spoke up.
"Oh, is Lisanna planning to participate this time?"
Luo Xingchen looked at Lisanna in surprise.
"Well, the main reason is that Ginana came recently. That girl is very diligent and rushed to do a lot of things, so I was free all of a sudden."
Speaking of which, Lisanna looked helplessly at Ginana who was standing at the bar at the moment.
"Just right, if everyone goes this time, I can go out and have a look or something."
"Also, I have a very good relationship with Juvia."
Lisanna raised a smile on her face and looked at Juvia.
"Miss Lisanna..." Juvia blinked involuntarily.
Indeed, whether in the guild or in the villa,
Both Juvia and Lisanna have a good relationship.
"Wait, Lisanna! So I don't have a partner?" Elfman yelled.
"Really?" Luo Xingchen turned his head and looked not far away.
He said, "That person over there has been watching you all the time."
Hearing Luo Xingchen's words, Elfman couldn't help looking at the bar.
"E... Eba Green?!" Elfman was startled.
"Hey, Eba Green seems to be a little awkward because of Fried's choice of Biguslow as his partner, but she sees your eyes very hot."
Lisanna covered her mouth and smirked.
Elfman trembled all over: "Is that a fiery gaze... Is that a gaze that will turn people into stone..."
"What about Gray? Who is your partner going to choose?" Seeing everyone present, only Gray has not yet confirmed his partner.
Lucy couldn't help asking aloud.
"My words... have already been decided." Gray folded his hands and raised his head to the side.
Immediately afterwards, a man with light brown hair, glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a suit appeared beside Gray.
"Long time no see, everyone!" Loki greeted with a smile.
"Eh?!" Lucy's eyes widened, as if she hadn't figured out the situation yet.
"Loki?!" Elfman exclaimed.
"We made an agreement last year." Gray said with a smile.
"Lucy, during the exam, let me break the contract between us first, and don't worry, I came through the door with my own magic power."
"So your magic can still be used as usual." Loki explained.
Lucy twitched the corners of her mouth, and even her smile became a little forced:
"How can there be such a self-assertive protoss..."
"Besides, why didn't I know that you two have such a good relationship?" Lucy curled her lips and complained.
"Hehe, it looks like you've already made preparations, Gray." Luo Xingchen said aloud.
"Of course! I have no intention of losing to anyone!"
Gray said and pointed at Luo Xingchen: "Even if the opponent is you, even if you lose to me, you won't just admit defeat!"
That almost provocative tone made Luo Xingchen look at Gray in surprise.
Looking at the fighting spirit in Gray's eyes that could not fade away, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
"no problem!"
A few short words, but Gray couldn't even suppress his smile.

the other side.
"Lebby has also been selected as an S-rank wizard this time!"
"Lebby, your partner will definitely choose me, right!"
"Idiot, how could I choose you? From the perspective of strength, I will definitely choose me!"
"My magic is more suitable for fighting, okay?"
"What if there is a racing competition?"
Jeter and Doria seem to be arguing over who should be Rabby's partner.
Lebby looked at the two live treasures in front of her and sighed deeply.
In fact, at this moment, even she herself was puzzled as to why she was able to participate in the assessment of an S-level mage.
Obviously the gap in strength is too big to say-…
Tap... Tap... Tap...
The sudden sound of footsteps interrupted the quarrel between Jeter and Doria.
"If you want to become an S-rank mage, I can help you." An arrogant voice came from behind Rabby.
Lebby turned her head in surprise, and looked at the tall figure standing behind her.
