"It's my turn."
Gray said, then stepped onto the stage. The later the appearance, the more it had to be left for the stronger Mages. After him were Erza and Qi Yan, so it was naturally his turn.
"Go, Gray!"
"Let them know the power of Fairy Tail!"
Fairy Tail had won two consecutive matches, which invigorated everyone in Fairy Tail, allowing them to vent their frustration.
Just as Gray stepped onto the stage, the sky began to rain.
"Hmm? Why is it raining?"
Immediately after, a girl holding an umbrella emerged from Phantom Lord.
"Indeed, Juvia is the Rain Woman, one of the Four Elements."
Makarov was surprised to see the opponent's appearance even causing a change in the weather.
"This girl has such strong water magic talent!"
To be able to inadvertently cause weather changes is a sign of extraordinary talent in the entire magic world.
"I didn't expect you to defeat two of the Four Elements, but Juvia and Aria are not that easy to deal with."
"I'm sorry, but whether you're a woman or a child, destroying the guild is unforgivable."
Gray said with a serious expression.
Juvia looked at Gray, her face gradually turning red: "Is…is that so…Then I concede, take care."
Gray was dumbfounded: "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?!"
Juvia, however, felt her heart pounding wildly. She deeply desired to make him her own; she wanted to obtain this man.
"Fairy Tail VS Phantom Lord, third match!"
"Start—!!!"
Clang—!!!
"Water Lock!!"
The rainwater on the ground quickly moved, forming a huge water sphere in the blink of an eye, trapping Gray inside.
"What?!"
Gray didn't expect her to ambush him.
Swish!
Gray released cold air, freezing the water sphere, then shattered the ice sphere.
"Oh, you scoundrel, were you trying to make me let my guard down?"
Gray said, then began to take off his clothes.
"Why is he taking them off?!"
The audience was somewhat bewildered by Gray's actions.
Everyone in Fairy Tail was also a bit embarrassed. Why did he have to take them off in front of everyone?
Juvia's heart also fluttered as Gray took off his clothes. In broad daylight, she wasn't mentally prepared for this.
"Ice-Make: Lance!"
Gray used his molding magic with both hands, creating a large number of lances that shot towards Juvia.
Boom boom boom!
The lances passed through Juvia's body, landing on the ground in the distance. Juvia's body was pierced but showed no blood, merely turning into water. Gray's attack caused no damage whatsoever.
"Juvia's body is made of water."
"Water?!"
Gray was very surprised.
"You attacked me, Juvia isn't sad, because this is a match. Goodbye, budding love! Water Slicer!!" Juvia swung out several water blades, slashing at Gray.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Gray quickly dodged, but was still hit, sustaining many wounds on his body.
"Ice-Make: Battle Axe!"
Gray rushed in front of Juvia, created a battle axe in his hand, and swung it forcefully, cutting Juvia in half at the waist. However, Juvia's elementalization rendered Gray's attack ineffective.
Juvia looked at Gray and said, "You can't win against me. If you surrender, I won't hurt you."
"Hey! What are you joking about? At this point, neither side can back down, right? Don't say such useless things, let's have a real fight!"
At this moment, the rain grew heavier.
"This rain is really annoying."
Upon hearing this, Juvia's body trembled involuntarily, and she softly said, "This person… is also like those guys…"
"They're all the same—!!!"
Juvia suddenly shouted in anger, leaving Gray a bit confused.
"Juvia will never fall in love again—!!!"
Juvia herself seemed to boil with emotion.
"So what exactly are you spouting nonsense about?!"
Gray was completely baffled by Juvia at this point. He was just here for a match, how did it get tied into love?
Swish—!
Juvia's body transformed into a stream of water and charged towards Gray, who quickly dodged.
"Hiss~~! So hot—!!"
Just a brush past, and Gray couldn't help but gasp, feeling his skin scalded.
"Ice-Make: Shield!"
Boom—!
The water stream attacked the shield, and the boiling water melted Gray's ice shield.
This left Gray a bit dumbfounded: "Eh?! No way!"
"Ugh ah ah ah ah ah!!"
The water stream knocked Gray down, then sent him flying into the air. In mid-air, Gray was continuously attacked by the water stream like a ball.
"Damn it! I have to find a chance to freeze the water!"
"I won't lose to you! I won't lose to you Phantom Lord!"
"Freeze! Ugh ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Ice Geyser!!!"
Gray released a powerful burst of cold air from his hands, and the boiling water stream rapidly began to freeze, even freezing the rainwater falling from the sky.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
Bang—!!!
The ice shattered, and Juvia lay on the ground.
"Juvia…lost?!"
At this moment, the sky also began to clear.
"Oh! It's finally clear."
This was the first time Juvia had seen a blue sky; it turned out the blue sky was so beautiful.
In Juvia's eyes, Gray shone brightly under the sunlight.
"Hey! Are you okay? Do you want to keep fighting?"
Seeing Gray, who was clearly an enemy, show such concern for her, Juvia's eyes formed hearts, and then she happily fainted.
"Victory decided!!"
"Winner: Fairy Tail, Gray!!!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"
"Well done, Gray!"
Everyone in Fairy Tail cheered, while on the other side, Phantom Lord's morale was low.
"What's going on?"
"Even Juvia… How is that possible?!"
"Useless! All useless! To be defeated by mere nobodies from Fairy Tail!"
Jose completely lost control. They had fought three matches and lost all three, and to some unknown Mages from Fairy Tail at that. Fairy Tail hadn't even sent out an S-Class Mage yet, which Jose's arrogant pride couldn't accept.
"It can't be helped, Juvia has no resistance to handsome men! Anyway, the true outcome of this duel isn't decided by the previous wins and losses. We just need to win all the remaining matches."
Gajeel said.
Gajeel's words calmed Jose slightly, but his expression remained very grim.
Jose reminded Aria, saying, "Aria, listen, no matter what, we absolutely cannot lose this time!"
Aria smiled faintly: "Heh heh heh… What are you saying, Master Jose? This game ends with me."
Gajeel's face revealed a terrifying smile: "Oh, oh, that sounds really reliable. Then let Fairy Tail enjoy their last hurrah."
"The fourth match is about to begin! Please, both contestants, step forward!"
"I'm up!"
