"Cheers—!!"
"Today was so awesome!"
Natsu shouted happily while standing on a table.
"Aye!" Happy chimed in from the side.
"What's awesome! I didn't feel awesome at all!"
Gray said with an annoyed look. He had been defeated by Lyon today and there was nothing he could do. Lyon's magic power and magic were both above his.
Natsu looked at Gray and said, "That's why it's even better!"
Gray immediately flared up. "You bastard! You want to fight?!"
Lucy quickly warned them, "Hey, you two, this isn't the guild. Don't break anything."
"Laxus! Your performance today was amazing! I was so moved! I was worried sick at first!"
Freed said to the returning Laxus.
"Uh... what's there to be moved about."
Laxus was a bit speechless. He had not done anything worth being moved by.
Makarov jumped up and shouted, "Brats! Don't get careless before we get the final victory!! The goal is 30 million!!"
"You finally said what you were really thinking!"
"Hahahahaha!!"
[Grand Magic Games Day 4, Event: Naval Battle. Each team sends one participant.]
[Inside the spherical water arena, if you are knocked out of the water layer, you are out. The last one remaining is the winner.]
[Special Rule: If only two people remain, the one knocked out within a five-minute period will become last place.]
[Then, the Day 4 event begins now.]
[Alright, all teams have entered the water!]
Several teams sent their participants. Coincidentally, every team sent a female participant, except for Quatro Cerberus, which had no women and sent a man.
"Sabertooth's Minerva, joining the battle."
[She's here!! Minerva! What a huge cheer!! With this, all of Sabertooth's strongest five are here!!]
Lucy said, "That cheering sure shows she's popular. But I can't lose either."
Hearing it was a battle in water, she had volunteered. She had always been the one lagging behind in the team, but she was not willing to stay a decorative vase. She wanted everyone to know she was strong too.
In the water, she had a natural advantage. Her Aquarius was a super powerful Celestial Spirit.
"When it comes to water, Juvia won't back down."
Juvia was best at water magic. In the water, she was naturally like a fish in the sea.
[This has become a vivid scene! Female members from every team have appeared in swimsuits!]
[The rules are simple! If you come out of the water, you lose!!]
[The Naval Battle begins now!!]
"Then I'll go first! Everyone, sorry!!"
"Open! Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!!"
Lucy planned to end it quickly and summoned her Celestial Spirit right at the start.
"Ooooooh!! You brats! If you want to seduce men with swimsuits, you're ten thousand years too early!!"
As soon as Aquarius appeared, she looked furious. She launched a water vortex, intending to blow everyone away, including Lucy.
"I won't let you succeed!"
"Water Cyclone!!"
Juvia immediately used water magic to block Lucy's attack.
"Eh—?!"
Lucy did not expect Juvia to stop her at this time. Normally, shouldn't the two of them clear out the others together before having a duel?
Juvia looked at Lucy and said, "Love rival! I won't let you take the spotlight!"
"Who is your love rival?!"
Lucy was stunned. She had explained so many times that she was not Juvia's rival, but Juvia never listened.
Others also started attacking each other, but there was not much effect in the short term.
Minerva watched the battle calmly and said, "Hmm, I need to arrange this properly. First, you're out."
Suddenly!
Juvia felt the space around her empty, and her body somehow appeared outside the water sphere.
[This... what's the situation? The first one out is actually Juvia!!]
"What's going on?!"
Gray was shocked when he saw it. Juvia was clearly in the water just now, so how did she end up outside all of a sudden?
Kael said, "It's space magic!"
"Space magic?!"
"Next is you!"
With a wave of Minerva's hand, Risley from Mermaid Heel was also out.
"Next, you!"
Sherria from Lamia Scale was also teleported out.
Then it was Jenny from Blue Pegasus and Rocker from Quatro Cerberus.
Finally, only Lucy and Minerva remained.
[Now only Lucy and Minerva are left. Who will get the final victory?! Is it Sabertooth or Fairy Tail? The five-minute rule is triggered. Starting now, the team that falls out of the arena within five minutes will become last place!]
"This person is doing it on purpose!"
Natsu grit his teeth. It was obvious the opponent was leaving Lucy for last on purpose so she would end up in last place.
"My magic can get you all out in an instant, but there's no fun in that. Come, Fairy Tail, let me see why exactly you are ranked ahead of our Sabertooth."
Minerva raised her hand, and a spatial bubble appeared beside Lucy.
Boom!
"Eek!"
The spatial bubble exploded, and an explosive shock hit Lucy.
"Lucy!"
Natsu immediately shouted in worry.
"Damn it!" Lucy reached for the keys at her waist, but found they were gone. Looking up, she saw Minerva was holding her Celestial Spirit keys.
"Since when?!"
Boom!!
"Aaaaaahhh!!"
A shockwave erupted directly in front of Lucy, and her body flew toward the edge of the water sphere.
[Lucy! If you fall out like this, you'll be in last place!!]
Lucy finally reacted, quickly waving her arms and stopping near the edge.
"Not going out? Then don't blame me."
Boom!
Minerva attacked again.
"Aaaaahhh!!"
"Lucy! Give up! Her magic is space magic! She can transfer you out at any time! There's no point in enduring it like that!!"
Kael shouted at Lucy.
Lucy glanced at the hourglass. There were still over 3 minutes left.
"It's fine! Only three minutes left, I can hold out! I'm the one who asked to join this event, I can't waste this chance for nothing!!" Lucy grit her teeth and gave a smile.
Minerva was stunned for a moment, then condensed an even stronger spatial bubble in her hand.
Boom———!!
"Aaaaaaaaaah!!"
Lucy could not help but scream in pain.
"You really are arrogant! Fairy Tail!! Are you guys that great?! We are the number one guild in the world! Sabertooth!!!"
