The capital of the Fiore Kingdom,
The blooming city of Crocus,
Was hosting the annual Magician's festival, the Grand Magic Games, for the very first time.
The town was filled with Magicians and spectators from all over the Fiore Kingdom, and even other kingdoms were invited to witness this grand spectacle.
Every street in the city was decorated with colorful flowers and wonderful magic, making it seem like a dream. From the top of the royal palace, the entire city looked like a giant sea of flowers.
To the west of the capital, on a mountain peak, was the venue for the Grand Magic Games—Domus Flau.
At this moment, in the center of the square, a giant golden magic circle slowly rose, emitting a dazzling light that instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.
People stopped to watch, their mouths agape in surprise, and when they saw the figures appearing in the magic circle, exclamations erupted from the crowd.
"It's Fairy Tail!" someone shouted excitedly.
"It's the number one guild in the Fiore Kingdom, their strength is truly formidable!" another person said excitedly.
"I heard that this Grand Magic Games was proposed because other guilds were dissatisfied with them!" someone else interjected.
"Haha, it seems the first place is already a foregone conclusion, this is going to be a good show!" Everyone discussed animatedly, their faces showing expressions of anticipation.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice rang out: "Damn it~ it's not certain who will win yet! The victory will definitely be Sabertooth's!" It was Sting who spoke, having just overheard the crowd's conversation, he was very unconvinced and so he shouted it out loudly.
"Exactly!" Sting's cat stood on his shoulder, echoing his sentiment, seemingly showing strong support for his owner's point of view.
"Fro thinks so too!" Frosch, in a frog suit, lay on Rogue's shoulder, quietly agreeing.
Sting and Rogue, who were originally shopping in the capital, were immediately drawn in after seeing this huge magic circle.
Without a word, Sting pulled Rogue along to join the fun.
"Oh? Are those two also Exceeds like us, Carla?" Happy suddenly pointed to the two cute little cats, Lector and Frosch, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Mm!" Carla nodded, her gaze fixed on the two little cats, as if observing something.
"So, they must be Dragon Slayers too!" Lily, standing nearby, looked at the two lively and adorable children, lost in thought, then added with certainty.
Zorn naturally heard the shouts from the two children opposite him. He turned around, waved at them, a friendly and confident smile on his face, and responded loudly: "Haha, not bad, it's good to be confident! However, winning the competition won't be easy!"
The members of Fairy Tail all smiled as they looked at these two vibrant and confident children.
At this moment, they were all infected by their spirit of believing in their guild, and a sense of recognition welled up within them.
From these children, it was clear that they were full of love for their guild, and this genuine emotion was the most precious thing.
"See you later, brats! We'll settle it on the competition grounds!" Zorn laughed heartily, then led his Fairy Tail companions, striding confidently towards the hotel they had already reserved.
To be honest, these two kids, looking at them now, their childhood personalities were quite good.
And Rogue, who usually didn't talk much, didn't seem to have the obsessive personality that was shown in the anime either.
Is the memory still normal at the moment?
Could it be because that person hasn't traveled from the future yet...
Or has the future already changed?
Zorn focused all his attention on Rogue, but after not detecting any abnormalities, he casually withdrew his gaze and shook his head, indicating that he would not focus on this issue for now.
"Oh my, this is my first time in the capital! It's really amazing!" Natsu rested his head on his hands, excitedly looking around, admiring every sight in the big city. "Aye!" Happy also chimed in.
"This is my first time here too, it really feels so prosperous!" Wendy was also very Happy.
"Haha, once you all get to the hotel, put your things down, and then you can go explore to your heart's content! I'll handle the competition registration!" Zorn said with a triumphant smile.
Because he used magic to directly teleport to the capital, he hardly wasted any time on the way, and there was still plenty of time before the competition.
Therefore, letting them go play for a bit was fine.
Once they arrived at the hotel and everything was settled, Everyone immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
"Alright, time for an adventure! Happy, Lucy, let's go!" Natsu was the first to excitedly rush out of the hotel.
"Yay!" Lucy was also exceptionally Happy.
During those three months,
Even Cana was cheerfully chatting and walking with Eclair, Ultear, Levy, and the other girls.
Among them, Juvia quietly followed behind Gray, sadly murmuring, "Gray-sama, why don't you want Juvia to follow you? Juvia wants to see who you'll be with!"
When Zorn came downstairs, he found that the Third Guild Master, Makarov, had already disappeared without a trace. Zorn shook his head helplessly.
Ever since this old man resigned from his position as Guild Master, he had completely let loose, often drinking and causing trouble with Wakaba and Macao.
However, Laxus was lazily leaning against a pillar, his expression very serious, as if he was specifically waiting for him.
"Yo, Laxus! Are you coming with me to handle the competition procedures? Are you afraid I'll run into some danger?"
"How thoughtful!"
Zorn teased when he saw this.
To be honest, every time Zorn saw Laxus's rigid and serious demeanor, he couldn't help but want to tease him.
"You, be serious!" Laxus clenched his fist with one hand, and lightning surged around it.
He seemed to realize that Zorn's personality was exactly like the old man's, as if it had been contagious.
"Hahaha," Zorn couldn't help but laugh loudly. Every time he saw Laxus get angry and embarrassed, he was exceptionally Happy.
...
Competition Registration Desk
"Hello, Fairy Tail's registration is complete. Here are the competition rules, please keep them safe!" The registration lady politely handed a thick book of competition rules to Zorn.
"Thank you, Laxus, let's go back!" Zorn put away the book and was about to return to the hotel with Laxus.
Laxus, however, paused his steps and looked towards Oga, who had just walked in among the crowd, with his green hair—he used Lightning God Slayer Magic.
Both of them seemed to sense the familiar magical attribute on the other, and their lightning power seemed to surge slightly.
It was clear that the other party had deliberately blocked Zorn and Laxus.
"Oh, this must be Lord Zorn, one of the Ten Wizard Saints! This Concubine is truly impolite!"
Minerva said she was being impolite, but her actions remained arrogant, showing no sign of actually feeling impolite.
