The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 253 Departure

"In accordance with Fairy Tail's ancient tradition, I now officially announce the list of participants for the S-Class Mage Upgrade Examination.

This year's exam venue is Tenrou Island, the sacred place of our guild. During this year, I have seen everyone's hearts and souls clearly. There are nine participants this time...

Natsu Dragneel, Gray Folpasta, Juvia Rox, Elfman, Cana Alberona, Freed Justin, Rebbie Macugaden, Mei

St. Glyde, and Charles Guido Vermeer.”

Makarov announced this year's list of candidates, and the audience began to talk about it.

In the end, Makarov decided to carry out the S-level exam as originally planned.

According to Makarov, Fairy Tail and the Devil's heart will have to be severed sooner or later.

Whether it is the opposing positions of the official guild and the dark guild, or Precht's identity, the two guilds are bound to be unable to coexist.

Since there must be a war, the battlefield on Tenrou Island is the most beneficial to Fairy Tail.

As for Zeref, Makarov thought there was nothing to worry about. Because Zeref’s position was not opposed to Fairy Tail, there was no need to regard him as an enemy.

No one would dare to try to test how terrifying that black mage is... Makarov secretly made a note to watch out for Natsu and not let him do stupid things!

That's why he was so nervous after realizing that Ciel's memory might not have been modified.

What a coincidence, Makarov thought so too.

Ciel said: "I don't care who you are. Since the president has no objection to your taking the S-level exam, I naturally won't have any other ideas. As long as you don't do anything that harms the guild, I won't do anything."

Needless to say, people like Nazgre and others would have become S-class wizards in other guilds.

The expression on Mester's face disappeared and he said: "You are not affected by my magic, are you?"

There are two rules about choosing a partner. One is that you must choose a member of Fairy Tail. The other is that you cannot choose an S-class magician as your partner.

Although it was a question, Mester had already determined the answer. And the reason why Mester asked this was because of his identity.

But there is only one week left, and more work needs to be done to prepare the magic tools for all members to use.

If Ciel's memory has not been modified, it means that his lurking has completely failed.

In order to complete the magical world's version of Infernal Affairs, Mestre did an even better job. He directly sealed the memory of being a member of Fairy Tail.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, Ciel has been making magic tools during this time.

It is true that Ciel's memory has not been modified. Ciel is very cautious in terms of memory. Whether it is the memory of the past life or the secret that can travel through the world, it is a secret that no one can touch.

That's right, apart from being an undercover agent sent by the Council, Mestre's hidden identity is actually the person sent by Makarov to the Council to gather information.

Although Lebby's word magic also has combat capabilities, its combat effectiveness is not very high. But Lebby is the only person who can discuss magic knowledge with Ciel.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Mester was also a guild mate, Ciel would have beaten him away.

Charles looked at Meister and said, "Don't tell me that you have been following me because you want to know your opponent in the exam."

In addition, people like Lebby who have outstanding abilities in certain areas are also qualified to take the exam.

Speaking of which, Mestre's magic is really magical, and it can actually make everyone treat him as a companion who gets along day and night.

Ciel nodded to him and turned to look at Makarov on the stage.

There are still flaws in Mestre's magic, because it is impossible for him to create a memory that is as flawless as a real experience. False memories that do not exist will always be contradictory.

Everyone left the meeting with discussion, and Ciel also turned around and walked towards his home.

Charles stopped, looked back and said, "I've been following you for so long, when do you plan to follow me?"

As mentioned before, Meister's magic is memory magic that can modify memory.

There is also Meister, a man who claims to be a disciple of Mister Gang.

Because several people are taking the exam for the first time, let me re-introduce the rules. The nine selected people will choose one person to be their partner during the preparation time this week.

Using the renewal potion prepared in advance, Ciel updated his ability values. [Mysterious] was successfully upgraded, and the quality and speed of Ciel's production of magic tools have increased.

However, Makarov really had a headache with their characters, and the exam was very difficult, so he never succeeded in upgrading.

Memory is a person's most precious thing, and what Ciel hates most is someone tampering with his memory.

The Council valued this very much and sent him to Fairy Tail as a spy.

Now he really thinks that he is a member of the Council's spy organization to obtain information about Fairy Tail.

Makarov continued: "The exam will start in a week. Please prepare yourself during this week.

But that memory was false, so no one could remember who his partner was in the last exam.

Ciel touched his chin. The list this time was the same as the original plot except that he was added.

The specific test content will be announced after arriving at Tenrou Island. The selected nine and their partners will gather at Harujion Port in a week and disperse!"

Perhaps sensing Ciel's gaze, Mester turned his head and showed a smile to Ciel.

If you look at it from this aspect, Lebby is enough to become an S-class mage.

For example, he added to everyone in Fairy Tail the memory that he was a guild member and even participated in the last S-class exam.

Meister walked out from behind the tree on the roadside and said with a smile: "As expected of Ciel who defeated the Holy Ten, he was discovered so quickly!"

Ciel glanced at the man with short hair and watched him and the guild members who congratulated him exchange greetings with curious expressions.

Like today, he can directly input the memory that he is a companion to everyone, and can seamlessly infiltrate any organization. It can be said that his magic is most suitable for espionage work.

The false memories Mestre added to Ciel were all blocked by protective magic. But even if he succeeded, Ciel would quickly discover the inconsistency in the memory.

Therefore, Ciel spent a lot of thought on this aspect. He placed three layers of seals on his brain and added five types of protective magic. Ciel did not believe that anyone could forcibly read his memory.

After saying that, Charles turned around and left.

"By the way, I'll give you a piece of advice. This S-class exam is not that safe. No matter what you want to do, it's best not to get involved."

Ciel said this on purpose. I believe that when Mestre reports this to the council, the council will definitely take action.

Although they are not expected to help deal with Acnologia, there is always someone to help deal with the devil's heart's miscellaneous soldiers.
