The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

As Precito said, this is the test for promotion to an S-class mage. Even if you are a companion of a guild, under the premise that they are rivals, there is no guarantee of an alliance!

This situation is like a prisoner's dilemma. Once the two parties are separated, no one is sure whether the other party will abide by the original agreement.

In this assessment, the supporters can only attack the target candidates, and their strength is not afraid of the candidates joining forces to fight, clearly occupying the 'offensive' position; while the candidates may be attacked by the opponent's supporters and all candidates attack, which means they are in a 'defensive' position.

The offense can only fight one, but the defense has to defend eight. This gap is too big!

So here comes the question: With such a gap, when the supporter encounters the opposite candidate, can he resist taking action? The probability is extremely slim!

Precito smiled sinisterly and reminded again: "The candidates can not only attack non-hostile candidates, but also any supporter! And as long as the supporter is eliminated, he can't attack later. I have stepped in to help the candidates, which means that I will be at a disadvantage compared to others in the subsequent assessments!"

"I would like to remind everyone here: if the supporter is eliminated, the candidate can continue to participate in the assessment; but if the candidate is eliminated, neither of them can continue to participate in the assessment."

This statement is undoubtedly making up for the gap between offense and defense.

But after hearing this, everyone's face twitched: Let the candidates take action against the supporters? Do you think they are stupid? Don’t you look at who these supporters are? ! Kira, Disper, Gildas, Timaria, Brandish, are these people they can defeat? Even Jellal, Erza, and Urrudia are stronger than the candidates! Urrutia is probably the only one who can take a beating here...

Urrutia:? ?

Several outside magicians felt that Precito should not be an old goblin, but an old fox!

He just said that supporters cannot take the initiative to attack non-target people, but he did not say that they cannot fight back! Of course, even if they can't fight back, there won't be any candidates stupid enough to treat them as sandbags. Otherwise, will they be able to do as well as them after the assessment?

However, they clearly underestimated the courage of the wizards of 'Fairy Tail'!

"Oh oh oh!! Will the candidates eliminate the supporters in turn? It seems very interesting!!"

Is there anyone really not afraid of death? ? !

The few outsiders who participated in the battle were all stunned, with big doubts on their little faces: Are all the magicians in this guild so brave?

The militants represented by Naz were obviously very interested in Precito's proposal: "You can take action against the supporters, doesn't that mean you can have a showdown with them?! I'm on fire!! "

Are you a natural gas that needs to be lit every day?

Kira complained silently in his heart, but this was Natsu's character, and there was nothing he could do about it: 'It's Natsu anyway, he shouldn't lose so easily, right? ’

Seeing how brave the juniors in the guild were, Precito and Mavis beside him were very pleased: "It seems that the rules mentioned above are a bit redundant..."

But it doesn’t matter, as long as it can arouse your desire to win!

The two of them did not say these words, but everyone present could feel their anticipation, and they looked like they were watching a good show!

The selected battlefield is in the center of the Darus Mountains. There are three mountains, two hills, and a river in front, back, left, and right. The rest of the place is dense forest. As for whether there are any groups of Warcraft, I don't know.

"It's even surrounded by four stone walls... If you change the terrain like this, won't people complain?"

Olgast was responsible for fencing this area, and a rock magic easily solved the problem. Four thick and tall stone walls separated a square battlefield, which was larger than Magnolia.

The sixteen candidates and supporters were evenly distributed among the four stone walls, with each person separated by several kilometers. When the green signal bomb exploded in the air, everyone set off at the same time and headed straight into the examination room.

As for the remaining people who did not participate in the assessment, they were observing the battle situation from a peak in the examination room.

According to the draw, the hostility and positions of the four teams are as follows:

Natsu (East), Kira (South) VS Gajeel (North), Disper (West)

Wendy (North), Timaria (South) VS Gray (West), Urrutia (East)

Lucy (south), Brandish (north) VS Juvia (east), Gildarts (west)

Elba Green (south), Erza (east) VS Philide (west), Jellal (north)

Everyone only knows their opponents, but they don’t know the position of their teammates entering the examination room. Therefore, except for those who are crazy or have prepared in advance, they basically run towards the center of the examination room at the beginning of the examination.

"It's begun! So...who will be eliminated first?"

…

The winter sun is warmer than other times, and the golden light pours freely, illuminating this mountain range far away from human habitation.

Kira walked in the dense forest and enjoyed a moment of leisure.

The fragrance of nature is so beautiful, more refreshing than the fragrance on girls. After taking a few deep breaths of air, Kira felt comfortable in her chest, and her life was full of happiness and beauty.

When the time was almost up, he chose a direction at will.

During this assessment, all contestants are not allowed to leave the examination room. This rule was specifically mentioned by Precito before departure, and the specific scope of the examination room was stipulated. In addition to four stone walls, there is also a stone wall that divides this area. Heaven.

Simply put, it means you cannot fly above a certain height.

This is mainly because there are several people in this assessment who have the ability to fly. If they fly too high, the detection field of view will be wide. At the same time, the detailed observation ability will be reduced, and the meaning of 'finding people' in the examination questions will be lost.

If yesterday's first level tested the candidates' judgment, today is a test of their tracking technology and lurking ability.

In such a vast mountain forest, the purpose of this assessment is to find your own target, hide your position at the same time, and use the original terrain and the changes between yourself and other players to carry out offensive and defensive battles.

The most important step in this is to lock in the location of your target. However, for many of them, this step was not difficult.

"Every time like this, I have to admire the Dragon Slayer's nose!"

Kira muttered to himself as he advanced, "This examination room is not big. Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy should have discovered their teammates and are beginning to meet up. Then I have to hurry up, right?"

"Magic Sense!!"

Buzz—! !

Along with the flow of Peiran's magic power, Kira released his perception ability. The range of perception was centered on his location and spread outward at an astonishing speed. All the changes in every plant and tree came into his mind in less than half a minute. The time covered covers the entire examination room, as well as a large area outside the examination room - although this area is not important.

"Let me see...the familiar nature and magic power. The magic power of all the contestants is very scattered! Those who have nothing to do are gathered together, on...that mountain in front?"

Kira raised his head and glanced at the mountain in front of him.

This mountain peak is located in the center of the examination room. It is the highest of the five mountains in the examination room and is also their gathering point today. At the end of the sunset competition, everyone will gather there, but before that, all assessors are not allowed to climb the mountain.

"From the position of magic power, the ones closest to me are Timaria, Philid, Gildarts, and Lucy...Natsu's position...is one of the ones farthest from me."

Kira's entrance position was on the far left in the south, and Natsu was on the top in the east. The two were almost diagonal.

"No, no... Natsu can leave it alone, I should find Gajeel first! Gajeel is here..."

Kira shook his head and began to search for Gajeel's magic power in his perception range. Then……

"In the opposite corner?!"

"Isn't this a coincidence? Isn't it?"

Gajeel's position is on the far right in the north, closest to Natsu; while Disper is on the top in the west, opposite Natsu.

Logically speaking, Disper is closer to Natsu and Gajeel than Kira, so he should be faster than Kira if he rushes there, but... he doesn't have a mini map!

"Hahaha!!"

Kira suddenly beamed with joy and laughed loudly: "Natsu and Gajeel's dog noses can smell, and I have magic perception, so this guy Dispel can't find anyone!!"

"Hmph! I play zither there every day. Isn't it just that I know how to use two swords? Who hasn't practiced it before? What's so great about it!"

"This time I will make you convinced that you have lost!"
