"An anti-Fairy Tail specialized guild?"
Laxus raised an eyebrow.
"That's right. Our guild is made up of members who have mastered magic that leaves Fairy Tail members helpless. These four are the elite. You want to fight us like this? I know your weaknesses very well. Do you want to see the power we've accumulated over these seven years?"
Ivan looked at Laxus smugly.
Laxus was dismissive: "Just you guys? Gramps has been investigating everything about you. The number of members, the guild's location, funding, and every move you've made over these seven years—he knows it all."
"What?!"
Ivan was startled.
"It's Gajeel. We were tricked by that guy!"
"So he was a double agent?"
Ivan finally realized the truth. The only one who could have known their intel was Gajeel.
"Even though Gramps knew all about you, he didn't take any action. If Gramps had given the order, you and your guild would have vanished into ash long ago."
"Shut up!!"
Shame turned into rage for Ivan. He raised his hand and released a large number of paper dolls.
Laxus raised his arm to block.
"I have lived in the darkness all for this day!! Everything was to get Lumen Histoire! You say you didn't harm us for seven years? Isn't that obvious? How could those scraps who survived possibly know the intel on Lumen Histoire!"
"In the guild, in the town, on Tenrou Island—I searched every place related to the guild!! But I still found nothing!!"
"Where is Lumen Histoire? Where is it hidden?! Tell me!! Laxus!!"
"You are my son!!"
"Obra!! Do it!! Erase his magic!! Release the power of the anti-Fairy Tail specialized guild right now!!"
Obra moved to act immediately, but Laxus struck first. His body turned into a bolt of lightning as he kicked Obra aside.
"Crimson Hair!"
Flare's hair attacked Laxus continuously, but Laxus dodged it all with ease.
"Take this!"
Nullpudding rushed toward Laxus, his arms covered in thorns striking out.
"Are you the guy Kael used for point-farming during the competitive event on the first day? Did you think that because you couldn't beat Kael, you could beat me?"
Crack!
"Oooooh!!"
Laxus drove a punch that slammed Nullpudding into the sand.
Swish!
Crimson hair wrapped around Laxus's arm.
"I've caught you!"
"You can't even beat Mira, and you think you can defeat me?"
Laxus opened his mouth, and violent lightning erupted from it.
"Eeeeyaaaaah!!"
Flare screamed as she was sent flying.
A mass of sand formed behind Laxus, and Black Snake appeared at his back.
"Are you the one who likes destroying things people cherish?"
"Waaaaah!!"
Laxus swung his hand, and golden lightning blasted Black Snake. Black Snake was instantly taken out in a single second.
"Im... Impossible!! My elite force was actually...!!"
Ivan looked on in disbelief. He hadn't expected his hard-earned elite force to be cut down by Laxus like weeds.
When did Laxus become so powerful? Was this still the same Laxus he knew?
"Old man, you've been absent from my growth for too long. I'm not the brat you can push around anymore."
"Wa... Wait!! I am your father!! I'm your family!! How can you strike your own father?!!"
"Oh? Really? But I also heard you were going to sell my Dragon Slayer Lacrima for money."
"No... No... that was just..."
"Enough talk!! I was naive before and treated you as family, but I see clearly now. Fairy Tail is my family. I will strike down any enemy of my family!!"
Laxus drove a punch into Ivan.
"Uwaaaah!!"
Ivan screamed as his body flew backward, slamming into the inner wall of the arena. The illusion vanished at that moment, and the real scene appeared before everyone.
[This... what on earth?! What happened?!]
"Master Ivan!! Alexei's true identity was actually Master Ivan!! Pumpkin!!"
The host, Pumpkin Head, was stunned.
[It turns out the Laxus and Alexei we saw fighting were illusions?! The one standing is Laxus!!]
[The battle is over!! And just as everyone saw, the five of them attacked together, plus the Master himself participated. This is undoubtedly a major foul!!]
[Laxus defeated all five members of Raven Tail alone. Without a doubt, the winner is Laxus of Fairy Tail Team B!!]
"That guy wiped out all of Raven Tail by himself?!"
"First Erza, then Mira, and Kael who even beat a Wizard Saint at the start—is everyone in Fairy Tail a monster?!!"
The audience was chattering. At first, they thought Fairy Tail only had Kael, but Kael only appeared on the first day. Over these last two days, Kael hadn't appeared, yet Fairy Tail still held first and second place.
This wasn't just the strength of one person; the entire guild was incredibly powerful.
Makarov looked at Ivan with a cold gaze: "This move was far too low, Ivan."
Ivan was his son, yes, but he was unscrupulous in achieving his goals. Makarov truly regretted not dealing with him sooner.
Laxus walked off the stage with an expressionless face.
"Laxus, I lost this time. But remember this: Lumen Histoire is the darkness of Fairy Tail. The moment you learn the true face of Fairy Tail will come one day."
"Hmph! I don't want to know, and I have no interest in knowing. Also, do you think I should believe you or Gramps?"
Laxus was slightly concerned by Ivan's words, but he didn't trust Ivan as a father. He could distinguish between good and evil.
Soon, soldiers came to take Ivan away, along with the other members of Raven Tail.
[The result of the discussion is that Raven Tail's scores are void!! Raven Tail is disqualified from the tournament for three years!]
[Despite such a disappointing event, we must continue with today's fourth duel!!]
[Gray Fullbuster of Fairy Tail Team A VS Lyon Vastia of Lamia Scale!!]
"I'm going up!"
Gray's interest was piqued when he heard his opponent was Lyon. He had been suppressed by Lyon since they were kids; now it was time to get some payback.
"Gray, is it? Let me show you the massive gap seven years has created between us!"
Lyon was also full of fighting spirit upon hearing he was fighting Gray.
"Good luck, Lyon!"
Sherria cheered for Lyon.
"This time we can finally win a round back from Fairy Tail."
Yuka smiled. Seven years ago, when Lyon was on Galuna Island, he was a head above Gray. After seven years, that gap would only be wider.
"Oh oh! The sock-destroyer was taken out by Laxus! Whoa! Thank you so much!"
Toby was crying tears of excitement.
Yuka said crossly: "That's enough! We're currently opponents with Fairy Tail!"
"Go and have a grand fight!"
Jura said to Lyon, looking quite confident in him.
[Two teams that met earlier today have run into each other again on the third day. I wonder if Lamia Scale will get revenge on Fairy Tail Team A, or if Fairy Tail Team A will win another round.]
[By the way, Mr. Yajima, Gray and Lyon are fellow disciples, right?]
Yajima nodded: "Mhm, yes. Both studied under Ur, a very famous Ice Wizard from the northern part of the Ishgar continent."
As a former council member, he was very familiar with the famous wizards of Ishgar.
[It seems this is a battle between fellow disciples.]
"Both sides, step forward!"
The host, Pumpkin Head, shouted.
"Gray, let's make a wager too."
Lyon said while looking at Gray.
"Hah?"
Gray was a bit confused. What was this guy planning?
"If I win this duel, Juvia joins our guild."
"Eeeeeeeeh?!"
Juvia panicked, and the members of both Fairy Tail and Lamia Scale were dumbfounded.
"This bastard actually wants to steal a girl from our guild!"
The Fairy Tail guild members were all indignant.
"Master, say something!!"
Makarov looked indifferent: "Well! Love is free, after all!"
"Let me ask, then... what if we win?"
"Then I'll trade Juvia to you."
"What the hell?! She's already ours, you bastard!!"
Gray roasted him. What kind of bet was this? No matter how it was calculated, they were the ones losing out.
"What, are you afraid of losing?"
"Hah? Of course not. Juvia is an individual; I won't use a comrade for a bet."
"Then you're just afraid of losing."
"Bastard!!"
Gray gritted his teeth. This bastard Lyon—he wasn't putting up any stakes of his own, yet he wanted to bet and was calling Gray a coward. He was too annoying.
"Since you don't dare, then forget it. I'll just defeat you fairly to win Juvia's heart."
"So annoying———!!!"
Gray was speechless. How did Lyon become so annoying after seven years?
[Ah la la! This has turned into quite an incident. A life-and-death battle between two men fighting for a girl's favor!]
"That's not it———!!"
Gray shouted toward the commentary booth. Why was this guy joining in on the chaos?
"Juvia... actually two men are fighting for Juvia... Juvia... Juvia... Juvia is truly a woman with heavy sins!!!"
Juvia said while covering her face.
"No, you're not———!!"
Gray roasted her loudly. He was going crazy. Why did a simple fight have to turn into all this nonsense?
[The final duel of the third day of the Grand Magic Games: Gray of Fairy Tail Team A VS Lyon of Lamia Scale.]
[Let the battle begin!!]
"Ice-Make: Lance!!"
Gray was fuming. He launched an attack immediately, firing a barrage of ice lances at Lyon.
"Ice-Make: Shield!"
Lyon raised his hand and opened a semi-circular ice shield, blocking all of Gray's attacks.
"Ice-Make: Battle Axe!!"
A giant ice hammer smashed down toward Lyon.
"Ice-Make: Ape!"
Lyon raised his hand and created an ice ape, blocking Gray's Battle Axe.
"Seven years have passed, and your magic still hasn't changed at all."
Lyon said to Gray.
"Seven years are your seven years. For me, it hasn't even been a few months since I last saw you."
"Ice-Make: Geyser!"
Gray pressed his palms to the ground, and ice erupted like a spring.
Lyon also casually pressed his palms to the ground and used the same magic as Gray.
The two spells canceled each other out.
"Then you haven't progressed at all. How disappointing!"
"You bastard!!"
Gray was driven mad by Lyon. How did this bastard's mouth become so sharp?
"Take this! Ice-Make: White Tiger!"
A giant ice tiger was created by Lyon.
The massive tiger rushed toward Gray.
"Ice-Make: Jail!!"
Gray leaped up quickly and created a giant cage to imprison the tiger. But before Gray could feel smug...
"Ice-Make: White Tiger!"
Lyon raised his other hand, and another ice tiger was created.
"What?!"
Gray was startled. He hadn't expected Lyon to be able to create another ice tiger.
The ice tiger rushed toward Gray, forcing him to dodge.
Crack———!
The ice cage was torn to shreds by the two tigers.
"Gray, see that? This is the gap between us. Seven years ago you were inferior to me, and seven years later, the gap is even larger."
"Tch! You've just trained seven years more than me, what's there to be smug about! If I had trained for the same amount of time, I would have beaten you down long ago."
Gray spoke defiantly, but his eyes were wary of the two tigers around him.
"Heh heh! Keep talking big."
As Lyon spoke, he controlled the two tigers to rush toward Gray.
Gray dodged frantically, but the two ice tigers were very flexible under Lyon's control. Soon, Gray was hit by an ice tiger and got scratched up.
"Bastard!"
"Ice-Make: Ice Snow Cannon!!"
Gray's body retreated rapidly, and a rocket launcher formed on his shoulder.
Gray pulled the trigger, firing a snow shell at the white tiger.
Boom————!!
Crack!!
The white tiger was hit by the shell and shattered instantly.
"Eh? Interesting."
Lyon once again controlled a white tiger to rush toward Gray.
Gray quickly condensed another shell.
Boom————!!
The Ice Snow Cannon hit again, shattering the white tiger.
Before Gray could rest...
"Ice-Make: Eagle!"
A large number of ice eagles rushed toward Gray. This time Gray couldn't use the cannon because there were too many targets and they were too flexible.
Boom boom boom!!
"Uwaaaaaah!!"
Gray was hit by the ice eagles and struggled to run out, having sustained some injuries.
"This guy, his creation speed is so fast!"
