There's no need to worry too much about the injured, as a medical team will be arriving shortly to take them away.
Rhodes saw that Jenni was only unconscious and not seriously injured, so he put her down for now.
Hearing thunder in the distance, Rhodes first went across the street to dig out Yerol, placed her with Jimmy, and casually gave them a healing magic.
This Yerol seems to be a little fan of Mira, so it's necessary to take care of her.
After finishing these tasks, Laxus arrived from the direction Minerva had just flown off to, carrying a small cat in his left hand and a cat-girl in his right.
Rhodes recognized Millianna, and also had some impression of the little red cat: "Isn't this Sabertooth's cat? How did it get mixed in here?"
Laxus put down Millianna and Lector, and replied: "Who knows? That woman tried to run just now. After I dealt with her, the little cat and the cat-girl fell out."
In the Sabertooth viewing area, a green kitten wearing a pink frog suit exclaimed upon seeing this scene: "Lector!"
Frosch still remembered that two nights ago, the young lady used Lector as a hostage to threaten Sting, aiming to unleash the hidden power within him.
Although he had already learned that Lector was not in danger, having no news for the past two days still made him worried.
Now, even though the young lady had lost, it was good that Lector was fine.
Frosch now wanted to rush into the arena to tell Sting the good news.
"Fairy Tail Team B has scored another 5 points!" Chapati noticed Rhodes' rescue actions and praised, "As expected of Mr. Rhodes, he always provides emergency treatment and proper placement after defeating an opponent, perfectly demonstrating the magnanimity of a Ten Wizard Saint."
Yajima laughed: "Rhodes has always been an excellent Magician."
"Minerva also lost so quickly. Rumor has it that she's even stronger than Sting. In that case..." Pumpkin Man said, "Fairy Tail Team B seems to have already secured victory?"
Chapati, however, denied it: "No, it's too early to say that now. Because there's another team hot on their heels! And that is, Fairy Tail Team A!"
"—"
Pumpkin Man fell silent. Isn't that still Fairy Tail?
The only ones who can defeat Fairy Tail are Fairy Tail?
This guild is truly terrifyingly strong.
As Chapati said, Fairy Tail Team A was rapidly scoring points.
First, Erza and Gray defeated the three handsome men from Pegasus to get three points, then Natsu dealt with brothers and the captain of Dragons Treasure, to get five points.
Next, Cana defeated Jenny to get one point.
If there was any team that still had hope of winning against Team B, it could only be Team A.
Their precise ability to seize opportunities, powerful magic, and efficient tactics all drew admiration from the audience.
Team A's five members quickly dealt with their respective targets, then moved rapidly towards two different targets.
Natsu and Lucy's target was Rogue of Sabertooth, while Erza, Gray, and Cana blocked a T-junction.
There, Ichiya and Rock were engaged in a true man-to-man, fist-to-fist battle.
Rock was fully armored with gauntlets, combat boots, and a chest plate, moving like a blur and delivering punches with the force of a massive explosion.
Ichiya, on the other hand, was in his usual attire, his white suit tattered, and his face bruised.
"Truly a remarkable young man." Even in such a disheveled state, Ichiya maintained a calm demeanor and a steady voice.
Rock said with full fighting spirit: "You must have even greater power, let me see it, Mr. Ichiya!"
"New guests have arrived, so I'll have to defeat you with all my might before greeting them."
Ichiya took out two test tubes, uncorked them, and directly inserted the openings into his nostrils, "Scent of Power · Zero-Distance Inhalation!"
The pale yellow liquid instantly vaporized, rushing into Ichiya's nostrils.
Ichiya's body suddenly swelled, his white suit jacket bursting open to reveal his robust and glistening muscles.
His suit pants also turned directly into shorts, and the muscles on his calves looked full of explosive power.
"That's it!" Rock excitedly shouted, "I want to defeat Mr. Ichiya just like this!"
"Come," Ichiya said, flashing a charming smile.
Under normal circumstances, anyone who saw that smile would either feel an instinctive wave of disgust or be momentarily entranced, revealing an opening.
But Rock was no ordinary opponent.
His gaze was locked entirely on Ichiya's muscles. He didn't notice the smile at all.
"Bursting Fist!"
Rock charged forward without hesitation.
"As expected of an opponent who makes me fight seriously," Ichiya praised calmly. Although his control skill had failed, he remained completely unhurried.
Because the high-speed movement that had troubled him earlier was now something he could handle with ease.
"MAXMEN Heavy Strike!"
The massive fist slammed into Rock's body with pinpoint accuracy, instantly shattering his chest plate and gauntlets!
Rock spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, carving a long furrow through the ground. Before losing consciousness, he weakly raised a thumb toward Ichiya in approval.
Under normal circumstances, Ichiya would probably have slung an arm around Rock's shoulders and offered a few encouraging words.
But now was not the time.
Because three people were already blocking every direction of escape at the T-junction.
Cana held several cards between her fingertips.
Gray had taken a Modeling Magic stance.
Erza stood clad in her Heaven's Wheel Armor.
"So it's Fairy Tail…" Ichiya bent his arm and struck several bodybuilding poses, clearly intending to greet them properly, then his tone suddenly shifted.
"Miss Erza's scent is still as captivating as ever."
Erza took a direct mental hit, and her fighting spirit wavered for just a moment.
She quickly steadied herself and warned the others,
"Be careful. Ichiya in this state is terrifyingly strong."
Gray nodded. "I know."
Cana added cautiously, "I just watched him prove it."
The four stood facing each other, the air between them heavy and tense.
Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tail viewing area, admiration erupted.
"The First Master predicted everything!"
"That's incredible!"
"Is Team A really going to win?!"
Mavis, however, shook her head, her expression far from optimistic.
"No. Team B's score is already too high. Team A must defeat Ichiya first, then immediately gang up on Kagura, and secure those ten points as fast as possible to even have a chance of catching up with Team B's pace. And also..."
Makarov frowned. "And also?"
"And also, the behavior of Dragons Treasure and Sabertooth is far too strange, completely different from their usual style! I… I miscalculated at least five steps…" Mavis pouted, tears welling in her eyes.
"It's… it's all my fault, boo hoo hoo."
"F-First Master!" The Fairy Tail members panicked instantly.
Makarov felt as if the sky were collapsing.
"Someone, anyone! Go comfort the First Master, quick!"
Since those without Fairy Tail guild marks couldn't see Mavis at all, some spectators watching from afar felt deeply confused.
Fairy Tail was performing incredibly well, so why did they suddenly look like everything was falling apart?
