Chapter 297 - Chapter 297: Was This Inevitable?

Boom boom boom——!!

A violent explosion tore through the outer wall beneath the Grand Magic Games arena, shattering large sections of the abandoned buildings underground.

Sting and Rogue lay on the ground, unwilling to accept their defeat.

[The winner is Fairy Tail———!!]

[Natsu has defeated both of Sabertooth's Twin Dragons all by himself!!!]

[As of now, the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games has concluded!! After a day of rest tomorrow, the final battle will be held the day after!! The final day will be a survival battle where everyone participates!!]

[Which guild will claim the ultimate victory?! Everyone, stay tuned!!]

"So it ended up like this after all!"

Bob, the Master of Blue Pegasus, watched the footage. From the beginning, Fairy Tail had been special. Makarov's children were each as strong as monsters.

Gildarts, Laxus, Erza, Natsu...

It was as if fate favored this guild, allowing so many incredible talents to appear within it.

Then, after Kael appeared, the gap between Fairy Tail and the other guilds widened even further.

"Should I say... this was inevitable?"

Goldmine, the Master of Quatro Cerberus, wore a stiff smile. Although he had barely met these brats from Fairy Tail, he had heard Makarov brag about them more than once.

Of course, those brats had given Makarov plenty to brag about. After Kael defeated Wizard Saint Jose, Fairy Tail's fame reached its peak.

Seven years had made many people forget how strong Fairy Tail used to be, but after returning, they were destined to stand at the top once again.

"To think we're only in third place this time, I'm going to spin!!"

Grandmother Ooba, the Master of Lamia Scale, was so angry she spun in circles. Even after sending out their ace, Jura, they still hadn't taken first place.

"Heehee! Did you see that! These are the mages of Fairy Tail!! Ahahahahaha!!"

Makarov laughed triumphantly.

"I didn't expect those two to actually lose."

Orga rested his chin on his hand as he looked at the arena. Even for him, Sting and Rogue's defeat had been unexpected.

"Hmm, it really was an interesting match. Fairy Tail, huh..."

Rufus smiled. Although Sting and Rogue's defeat had gone beyond his expectations, he had gained a lot on this trip, especially after committing Kael's magic to memory.

"It looks like I need to come up with a foolproof strategy."

Minerva had already started thinking about the final day's strategy. Kael was undoubtedly their greatest obstacle, but if used properly, an obstacle could also become her sharpest weapon.

"Waaaaah!"

"Kyaaaa!"

"This guy is the Master of Sabertooth!!" ...

In the spectator stands, an aura of rage spread from Jiemma's body, scaring everyone nearby into fleeing in panic.

Natsu looked at Sting and Rogue and said, "You two are pretty strong! But you're still a bit green. Let's fight again after you've gotten stronger."

[The overall rankings are as follows:]

Fairy Tail — 51P

Mermaid Heel — 41P

Lamia Scale — 39P

Blue Pegasus — 37P

Sabertooth — 35P

Quatro Cerberus — 22P

"Fairy Tail is incredible!"

"Yeah! They've been in first place for four straight days!"

"Sabertooth looks finished. They're second to last now."

"I wonder who'll win overall!"

"It has to be Fairy Tail! They have that monster, Kael!"

"True, Kael is just too strong!"

"Not just Kael. Laxus, Erza, Natsu, and Gajeel are all really strong too." ...

At this time, many people in the city of Crocus had gathered around the Grand Magic Games scoreboard, discussing the results excitedly.

Sabertooth Lodging Hotel

Crocus Garden

Sabertooth held another meeting. Everyone in the guild stood straight with their hands behind their backs in front of Jiemma.

At the very front stood Sting and Rogue. Bandages covered their bodies, and they looked miserable. After receiving treatment from the tournament's medical team, the two were no longer in serious danger.

Jiemma said, "What's with those ugly looks on your faces?"

Rogue lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I have nothing to say. It was a complete failure. Natsu Dragneel's strength was far beyond what I imagined..."

"Are those words someone from the strongest guild should say? Who said you were allowed to wear that pathetic expression? Who said you were allowed to lose?!"

"You actually dared to stain the name of the strongest guild!!"

"You two bastards have no right to carry the name of Sabertooth!! Erase it!! Erase the guild mark!! My guild has no need for the weak! No need for losers!!"

Jiemma violently punched and kicked Sting and Rogue. No one in the guild dared to speak.

Although Lector was trembling with fear, he still stepped forward. "Please don't do this, Master. Sting and Rogue both worked very hard. Even though they lost this time, I am still proud of Sting. That's how I feel. People only become stronger after experiencing failure. Sting learned many things in this battle. He will definitely become stronger next time."

"Who are you, brat?"

"Honestly, Master, I have the Sabertooth mark here too. Look, isn't it great!"

Lector lifted his little vest, revealing the Sabertooth guild mark on his back.

The moment Jiemma saw it, he flew into a rage. "Since when were cats and dogs allowed to bear the glorious and proud mark of my Sabertooth?!"

"Disappear!!"

Jiemma raised his palm and aimed it at Lector.

A magic bullet shot toward Lector.

Boom————!!

"Lector——!!"

Sting screamed in despair.

The expressions of everyone else in the guild changed drastically as well. Lector might have been a small cat, but he was no ordinary cat. He could speak and possessed thoughts and wisdom just like a person. After staying in Sabertooth for so long, they had all come to see Lector as a comrade.

Master Jiemma had just killed him.

"Aaaah... Lector... he's gone..."

Frosch trembled uncontrollably beside them, tears pouring down.

"Frosch!"

Rogue immediately pulled Frosch into his arms, afraid that Frosch would be killed just like Lector.

Even after killing Lector, Jiemma still didn't seem satisfied and kept ranting. "What an eyesore. Such an eyesore! A cat actually bearing my guild's mark..."

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!!! What have you done... what have you done..."

Sting let out a cry of despair.

"Shut up!! It was just a cat!!"

Pfft———!!

A white laser pierced straight through Jiemma's body.
