Today is the final day of the Grand Magic Games competition, and the whole stadium is filled with excitement. It is truly amazing. Fairy Tail is unbelievable. Mirajane is too amazing.
Chabadi roared with excitement. One hundred magically constructed monsters were shattered in a single blow by Mirajane. Ten out of ten. Absolutely perfect.
Caesar stood in the stands. The scene was different from the Demon Subduing Hall in the story he remembered, but it was mostly the same.
One hundred monsters appeared. The contestants needed to destroy as many as possible. The one who defeated the most would win.
For Mirajane, this was too easy. She stepped forward, released her power, and shattered all one hundred monsters in a single instant.
This terrifying scene made Jura realize that his previous defeat had been reasonable.
He could only destroy ninety two with one strike. The last few had stronger defenses, and after taking down two, his strength weakened and he failed to destroy the third.
Mirajane had no such problem. If there had been more than one hundred, she still could have taken down dozens more without difficulty.
The competition ended, and Fairy Tail reached seventy six points.
Sabertooth had sixty five points. Even if they won their battle later, they would only reach seventy five. Fairy Tail could lose and still win overall by one point.
But who expected Fairy Tail to lose now?
Everyone in the audience noticed this and cheered loudly. Fairy Tail had secured the position of the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore.
The Fiore royal family loved creating momentum. The final match would be Fairy Tail versus Sabertooth.
Gajeel versus Rogue.
Gajeel grinned. Kid, if I beat you, I get two million j. Do not blame me for being ruthless.
Rogue looked at him and took a deep breath. He released a Shadow Dragon roar.
Gajeel answered with the Roar of the Iron Dragon.
The two roars collided. Rogue's spell shattered instantly. If he had been slower, he might have been seriously hurt.
I admired you. But I never thought you would join Fairy Tail, the guild that defeated Phantom Lord.
Rogue slashed with Shadow Dragon Slash.
You did not admire me. Back then you were afraid of me.
Gajeel struck him away with his Iron Dragon Staff. Now I am a Fairy Tail mage.
He rushed forward, sent Rogue flying, and ended the match.
Rogue fell to the ground with tears in his eyes as the crowd cheered.
Gajeel helped him stand. Phantom Lord is not a good guild. Fairy Tail is better. It points you in the right direction. I am glad you did not stay there. Good luck.
He patted Rogue's shoulder and walked toward Fairy Tail.
The entire Fairy Tail team rushed out. Juvia, Lucy, Betty, and the others cheered.
Caesar had learned last night that the water battle happened on the day he left. Only women could participate, and they had to wear swimsuits.
Mirajane sent Juvia and the others in.
The four hounds were the most tragic. They were all male and were locked into last place from the start.
Caesar felt annoyed. Of course when he left, he missed out on all the fun. He imagined the water battle with swimsuit girls everywhere.
He clicked his tongue. He planned to look for the magazine reporters later. They would not miss such a spectacle.
We came in first.
Mavis sat on the railing, swinging her small feet. You did great, fourth generation.
We will always be number one.
Caesar smiled proudly.
The Fairy Tail group stood in the center of the arena as the crowd cheered.
King Thomas personally handed the trophy and thirty million j to Caesar.
This now belonged to them.
The contestants' eyes lit up. Caesar had promised that if they won first place, each main member would receive two million j.
Even if Juvia and the others took a cut, everyone would still get at least one million j.
More than one million j. It would take them ages to earn that much through normal work.
Caesar decided to take two hundred thousand j from each person. The total, one point two million j, would be split among Juvia and the other two, each getting four hundred thousand j.
The main players each received one point eight million j. Everyone was satisfied.
The magic show held in Thomas was exciting. Because of this, the royal family decided it would be held every year.
The prize for first place would stay the same.
All the guilds were excited. Fairy Tail was excited too.
Caesar announced that the rules of the Grand Magic Martial Arts Tournament would remain the same. Whoever won first place would receive the same rewards.
The crowd cheered wildly, wishing another tournament could start immediately.
Caesar was happy. With the Kingdom of Fiore funding the Harvest Festival, Fairy Tail's Harvest Festival would now become the grandest festival in the kingdom.
Makarov had always been frugal during past festivals, only gathering a few hundred thousand j. Even so, the parade was still loved by everyone.
This time, after paying the team twelve million j, Caesar donated the remaining eighteen million j to the Harvest Festival.
With this much money, the festival had to be amazing. Otherwise they would be wasting the greatest opportunity in years.
