However, Cana didn't seem Happy; she sighed helplessly.
Because she knew clearly in her heart that the moment these newcomers started asking her about the S-Class Mage Examination winner of the Fairy Tail Guild, these people would sooner or later, like the other old-timers in the guild, rush into the gambling market~
Especially when these newcomers saw that the old-timers of the Fairy Tail Guild had indeed earned a large sum of money from this year's S-Class Mage Examination gambling, they would be even more unable to control themselves, as people are prone to envy.
"First, the individuals who have qualified to participate this year are Mirajane Strauss, Ultear Milkovich, Cana Alberona, Mystogan, Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster, Lyon Vastia, and Freed Justine. These eight mages."
Makarov announced the list of participants for this year's S-Class Mage Examination directly in front of everyone, without any hesitation.
This year's examination list was largely similar to last year's in terms of personnel!
And it was largely similar to what the guild's gambling addicts predicted, basically the T2 and above personnel on their predicted list~
Although the number of participants was slightly less than last year~
But this list had also been carefully considered by Makarov…
After all, in Old Man Makarov's opinion, as long as monsters like Ultear and Mirajane, whose strength surpassed their peers, were present, no matter how many people participated, they would only be accompanying them.
"Sister, that's great! You were indeed chosen."
Lisanna breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her sister Mirajane was on the S-Class Mage Examination participant list announced by Makarov.
"Don't worry!"
"I will definitely pass this year's S-Class Mage Examination."
Mirajane said, her arms crossed in front of her, eager to try.
"It won't be that easy to defeat me."
Upon hearing this, Ultear tilted her head slightly, a hint of challenge in her eyes as she looked at Mirajane.
"Then let's see!"
Mirajane smiled, terrifying magic power swirling around her.
"Let's see, let's see~"
Ultear smiled; she seemed to have the confidence to definitely defeat Mirajane.
"Natsu, that's great! You've been chosen again!"
In the sky, Happy flapped his wings, speaking excitedly.
"Victory!"
Natsu lightly stretched his wrists, looking at the stands excitedly.
"Gray, I won't hold back."
Lyon, surrounded by freezing air, warned Gray coldly.
"Bring it on!"
Gray, who had somehow already stripped off his clothes, said excitedly.
"Long live Gray-sama!!"
Not far from Gray, Juvia, who had withdrawn from the Luminas Guardians last month and officially joined the Fairy Tail Guild, was looking at Gray with a blushing face, holding up Gray's nameplate in her hand and loudly cheering him on.
"Juvia, stop it! It's embarrassing!"
Seeing this, Gray quickly waved his hand at Juvia.
"No matter how embarrassing it is, it can't be as embarrassing as you, right?!"
"Look at your clothes! You idiot!"
In response, the single guys in the guild couldn't help but roar angrily at Gray.
"Eh?!"
"That's strange, where did my clothes go?"
Gray looked down and exclaimed in surprise when he found his clothes had disappeared.
"Gray-sama is so perverted, I love it so much~"
Juvia looked at the naked Gray, not only without any anger but instead with a flushed face and eyes sparkling with tiny hearts of adoration.
"Juvia, look at me too!"
"I can also take them off…"
Just as Juvia's gaze was entirely focused on Gray… Mistakenly believing that Juvia liked perverts, Lyon strode up to Juvia, and with a "whoosh," he stripped off his clothes, revealing his eight-pack abs and the basketball covered by the black cloth.
"Hello! Is this the Magic Council ERA?"
"Yes, this is the Fairy Tail Guild. There's a pervert here…"
"Okay, okay…"
Upon seeing this, Juvia directly dialed the magic communication number of the new Magic Council ERA and reported everything she had seen.
An hour later.
Several mages in black robes arrived at the Fairy Tail Guild.
Oh, by the way.
Ever since Precht became the chairman of the Magic Council ERA, he had dismissed all the Council members…
and recruit powerful Mages from across the entire Fiore Kingdom, and even the Ishgar Continent, employing the capable without prejudice, in order to achieve a complete transformation of the Council.
Although Precht's actions drew a lot of criticism from the sages of the Magic world, it was all harmless!
Because Precht was strong enough not to care about what these people said.
At the same time, Precht's method of recruiting talented individuals from society truly transformed the overall strength of the Council, reaching its peak.
"Who's the pervert?!"
After these Mages, representing the Council, entered the Fairy Tail Guild hall, they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation. In their eyes, everyone in the Guild seemed to be a pervert.
For a moment, they didn't know who to arrest!
"It's this person..."
Juvia said, pointing at a naked Lyon, and explained.
"Take this silver-haired pervert away!"
The leader, a man with short, light blue hair, heard this and led his subordinates directly towards Lyon, completely ignoring a similarly naked Gray. He gave his subordinates the order to arrest Lyon.
By the way, the three people who came to arrest Lyon were: the blue-haired short-haired guy named Dist, a user of Gravity Magic!
The muscular man's name was Cannon, a user of Re-quip: Gun Knight Magic, which was similar to Bisca and Alzack!
The dazzling woman with long, wavy yellow hair was named Cornelia, also a user of Re-quip Magic, and she could also use Spatial Magic.
The three were not originally part of the Magic Council ERA's special forces, but members of a Magic Guild called Ruby. After hearing about the Magic Council ERA's mass conscription, they joined the Council, which could bring them more benefits. Currently, all three work for Precht.
"No!!!"
Accompanied by screams...
Lyon was taken away by these guys, who were called the New Magic Council, but were essentially Precht's private guards.
In response, none of the Mages in the Fairy Tail Guild hall tried to stop these Council members from taking Lyon away! Apparently, this wasn't the first time Lyon had been taken away; everyone seemed to have had enough of him.
Well, unlike Gray, who always accidentally stripped off his clothes, Lyon was a repeat offender who knew what he was doing. Knowing and not knowing are two completely different things...
Besides, even if Lyon was taken away by these guys, it would probably only be for half a month of criticism and education. Lyon deserved to be taken away and criticized for half a month.
"Half a month?!"
Just then, Makarov seemed to think of something. He suddenly narrowed his eyes, shaking his head silently and saying, "The list of people participating in this year's S-Class Mage Examination will be slightly changed. Lyon's name can be crossed off."
"After excluding Lyon..."
"Mirajane, Ultear, Mystogan, Cana, Freed, Natsu, and Gray, seven people in total, will participate in this year's S-Class Mage Examination!"
"The examination rules are still the same as before. You can freely find seven like-minded Mages within the Guild to form a team!"
"And gather at the Fairy Tail Guild dock in one week!"
