The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

"In this Great Demon Fight, the guilds are ranked based on the corresponding total scores of the magicians from beginning to end. From the crystal screen in the venue, we can actually see the ranking of the Magic Guild of the Kingdom of Fiore."

"But as the competition progresses today, there have been phenomena like 'no manpower participating in the competition' and 'all members of a certain guild have been eliminated', so the next competition can no longer continue the previous 'competition' and 'showdown' modes."

“After discussions between the competition officials and our three judges, we unanimously decided to make slight changes to the next competition format!”

The competition format needs to be changed? ?

Isn't this too sudden? ?

Kira was stunned at first, but soon figured out the reason: Mysterious Pumpkin Sauce's words actually imply that the current guild ranking is the final ranking. Regarding this, his own guild "Fairy Tail" doesn't care. They are number one anyway, but how can people from other guilds accept it?

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that scores and strength are completely unequal is not convincing. So far in this game, luck still has too much influence on the ranking.

The magicians themselves were dissatisfied, and the audience was even less likely to agree.

You know, popular magicians are equivalent to big stars in this world. They have a lot of fans and support groups. Although their performance is not as crazy as in the three-dimensional world, if you underestimate their energy, you will definitely suffer a lot, even if Even the kingdom officials cannot bear this kind of public opinion!

Who told this not to be a three-dimensional world where all power is in the hands of the royal family?

In this world where magic exists, magicians have a transcendent status to the kingdom just like cultivators in a fantasy world have to ordinary human dynasties.

Although magicians usually do not disobey the kingdom's orders due to traditional thinking, and there is a Senate watching from the sidelines, the royal family does not dare to take a gamble!

After all, the Western Continent next door is a typical example of a country founded by magic.

This led to the fact that even the mysterious Pumpkin Jam, whose true identity was Old Thomas, King of Fiore, did not dare to make a decision and declare the game to be over.

So we can only modify the rules, extend the competition, and continue to give a convincing answer!

"First of all, the competition time. We tentatively plan to extend the original competition plan by two days, that is, the competition will continue until July 7. If we start counting from tomorrow, there will be three days left."

The audience was silent for a moment, and then began to whisper to each other——

"You want to extend the game time? Although we really want to see them fight, the tickets are very expensive! Are you paying for it?"

"That's right! We won't do this kind of thing..."

Pumpkin Sauce's voice came again: "Of course, since the 6th and 7th are extra days due to temporary changes in the competition system, the competition team decided not to charge admission fees!"

"We agreed!!"

"The fight between the magicians is so beautiful!! I can't get enough of it no matter how much I watch it!!"

"Just hit number 10!!"

The audience, who were originally hesitant and dissatisfied, instantly became excited after hearing that the contestants were so generous. They wished they could change the rules a little more and play for two more days.

After all, who can resist watching a free magical battle?

Seeing that the dissatisfaction of the audience at the venue turned into praise and cheers again, Pumpkin Jam finally let go of his hanging heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Here are the rules of the competition for the next few days!"

"The following games will be different from the past four days. They will no longer be conducted in the form of 'guilds'. Instead, the remaining 22 people will form mixed teams between different guilds, and then compete in the knockout rounds in different formats!"

After saying the words "Mysterious Pumpkin Sauce", it was like a falling rock that stirred up a thousand waves, causing an uproar in the entire venue.

"Nani?! Not as a guild?!"

"But isn't this competition meant to determine the best magic guild in Fiore? What would it be like to compete without guilds?!!"

"If we mix up the teams, how will we be ranked later..."

"It's so random! It's like it was decided casually. Are all the planners of the competition so casual?!"

Tens of thousands of spectators were talking about the upcoming changes to the competition, and many people even started to complain directly to vent their dissatisfaction and resentment caused by the elimination of their favorite magician.

After the discussion subsided slightly, Pumpkin Sauce raised the microphone and continued to explain tomorrow's rules: "For tomorrow's game, we will divide the existing 22 magicians into two teams for an 11 vs. 11 showdown!!"

"It's 11 versus 11...is it better than playing football??"

Hearing the somewhat familiar numbers, Kira couldn't help but complain, but he soon remembered that there seemed to be no sports like football in this world.

"The two people with the highest current personal scores will be the captains. The two captains will select 10 of the remaining 20 people in order from low to high according to the current personal scores of the magicians to form their own teams, and then the captains will allocate them. Forming three one-on-one battles and four two-on-two battles.”

The two people with the highest individual scores now are Kira, who has 30 points, and Laxus, who has 25 points. In other words, the two of them will become the captains leading the two teams in tomorrow's game.

Hearing this, the people from each magic guild looked at Fairy Tail, and the people from Fairy Tail looked at Kira and Laxus.

"If it's the two of them, wouldn't it be unacceptable to serve as captain?"

"Are those two guys facing off again? This time with foreign aid, Laxus might be able to win..."

"Hahaha...it seems so interesting!"

"Damn it! Such fun things happen without me, I'm so unhappy!!"

The conversations among the people around him reminded Laxus of the past where he had repeatedly lost to Kira since he was a child, and he couldn't help but look at him with a bit more fighting intent and provocation.

My current strength is not what it used to be, and I just want to take advantage of this competition to avenge all the shame I suffered in the past! Wait for my revenge, Kira! !

Then Laxus saw Kira slowly turn his head, with drooping eyes, and gave him a "??".

"Is there a problem?"

This bastard! ! !

Laxus' fist suddenly became hard! !

But he knew that now was not the time to get angry, so he suppressed his anger and continued to follow the rules.

“The order of captain selection is as follows: the captain with a low personal score selects one person first, then the captain with a high personal score selects two people, and then the captain with a low score selects two people, and so on until the captain with a high score selects the last person. ."

"Another rule: the total points scored by each team need to be as equal as possible."

"Because the total score is now 245 points. As equal as possible, one team has 125 points and one team has 120 points. If the scores of the two captains are subtracted, the total score of the players is 95 points."

As soon as these two rules came out, everyone knew that this was a competition to judge the 'strength' and 'score' of 20 magicians. How to select teammates with strong strength and low scores, namely Kira and Lark What Sass is going to do now.

Soon, under the notice of the host, 22 magicians returned to the arena.

Kira and Laxus need to select their respective team members at this time, so that they have enough time to arrange their troops, and the time they use can also make the audience look forward to the next day's game.

Kira looked at the score table above his head and complained in a low voice: "So, Sawyer should be the least cost-effective, right? Then the most cost-effective ones should be Jura, Natsu, Rakaide, Agil..."

"Hey hey hey...what's going on with your tone of voice as if you're buying vegetables at the wet market?!"

"Huh? Is there a problem??"

Kira glanced at Sawyer, who was approaching him and growling at him unconvinced, and then slightly turned his head to look at the people of the 'Emperor's Shield'.

These people all have special skills. If they can be brought here, this battle should be smoother.

But the people in your own guild are also very important, because the magicians in your own guild are capable, and you may be able to defeat someone stronger than you with faith.

At the same time, the leaders of other guilds, such as Urrutia and Jura, are also very good magicians, no worse than those guys from our own family.

Finally, there are those with average or even poor strength, as well as those who are detested by others, and the 'crow's tail' that neither Kira nor Laxus wants.

Forget it about Bria. She is not Ivan's confidant and has no hatred towards Fairy Tail. But Narubudinku is different. Not only does he have a personality, but he also has no favorable impression of Fairy Tail. Keep it. What a waste!

"So now...how do I choose?"

This number has nothing to do with the date.
