"Leave it to me!"
Mavis patted his chest and readily agreed.
She was quite looking forward to it, hoping that the leaders of the new era would come to her so that she could see for herself which one she found pleasing to the eye.
As a ghost, Mavis is not someone that just anyone can see. One must have a certain level of strength to truly see her existence, and this alone is already a screening hurdle.
If we can't even see Mebius, then there's really no need to take any further steps, unless Mebius himself shows leniency towards him.
The "examiners" also have their own will and personal preferences. They might have a particular favorite contestant. In that case, Mavis could naturally appear in person and impart magic to the child so that the child could pass her test.
Although it is said that anyone with the "Fairy Tail" crest can see Mavis, that is only if she does not deliberately hide. If she does hide, even Makarov cannot find her.
Of course, this time Mavis will definitely not hide completely, otherwise the little guys will search forever and still not find her.
After reaching an agreement with Mavis, Moen returned to the guild and organized everyone to go to "Sirius Island" for the assessment.
At this moment, Mavis must be watching all of this closely. This assessment is definitely the one in which the "first president" has been most involved, since she now has the power to screen people.
In the past, Moen would occasionally come over to chat with the "old man" and study the "Sirius Island" and the giant "Sirius Tree".
But Mavis wouldn't feel much "involvement"; at most, Moen would just casually tell her a few words about the guild's current development.
Unlike this time, Mavis felt as if she had truly returned to the guild, which seemed to rekindle the passion in her heart that had gradually faded away.
Just as Moen said, maybe she could really try leaving "Tenrou Island" and going out into the world, and return to the "Fairy Tail" guild to take a look?
Mavis has already had this idea in mind. The current "Fairy Tail" might really be very interesting. More than eighty years have passed. Although the people are gone and things have changed, the new generation has its own stories.
"Wouldn't it be interesting to see the stories of the newcomers in 'Fairy Tail'?" Mavis secretly felt a surge of interest.
"I probably don't need to go over the exam rules again, do I?"
Standing at the bow of the ship, looking down at his companions, Moen began his final summary; the assessment was about to officially begin.
Mirajane, Erza, Kirdas, and Makarov have all gone ahead and returned to their respective posts.
"All you need to do is move forward, forward, and keep moving forward. There are three stages in total. Once you pass them all, you can become an S-class mage. Go for it! Don't hold back!"
Moen briefly explained the assessment process, and then with a wave of his hand, announced the official start of the assessment.
As before, the priority is to find a way to get to "Tianlang Island" first. However, this time, people will not be eliminated so early. As long as you can get to the island within the specified time, you will be fine.
Fried, who had been standing on the side of the ship, jumped out, and at the same time he jumped out, he directly used a "spell".
"Spell: Disembarkation prohibited!"
Fried's actions were incredibly cunning. He disembarked himself, used "Dark Text Wings" to grow wings and fly away, but used a spell to prevent his other guildmates from disembarking.
"What the hell?! That Fried guy!"
Natsu and Happy lunged forward and crashed directly into the invisible magical shield.
The man and the cat covered their heads, staring in disbelief at Fried flying away. No one expected him to do something like this.
"Don't worry, it will unlock in five minutes."
After Fried flew away, he left behind these words and then ignored everyone, flapping his wings and flying towards "Sirius Island".
"Moen! Is this even possible?!"
Kana looked at Moen, a little anxious, as she hadn't expected this situation.
"Of course you can. Like I said, don't hold back. You can use any method except to intentionally harm your comrades."
Moen stood at the bow of the ship, giving a smile as he answered. He naturally wouldn't stop Fried's actions, as it was normal procedure and didn't violate the rules of the assessment.
"That works!"
Everyone was surprised, but there was nothing they could do. Fried hadn't harmed them, and the spell had no offensive power; it simply limited the time they could spend disembarking.
"Fried's spells... are not so easy to break."
Gray's expression was very serious. He tried to force his way out, but it would probably take a lot of magic power.
If everyone has to wait five minutes, there's no need to waste magic; just let Fried run out first.
"Buzz!"
"Allow Ebagrien to pass."
Just as Gray decided to hold back, Ebagrien on the other side rewrote the rules of the spell. Elven wings unfurled behind her, and she flew off.
"No?! What's going on?!"
Seeing this, Gray's mouth dropped open. How could someone possibly jump the gun?!
"Since I spend a lot of time with Fried and go on missions together, I think rewriting this level of spell formula shouldn't be a problem."
Abagrien smiled slyly, left those words behind, and then flew away, just one minute later than Fried.
"Whoosh!"
All eyes turned to Bigusro. If Ebagrien could rewrite spells, what about Bigusro?
As a member of the "Thunder Gods," and having always been with Fried and on missions together, Biggleslow might be able to help. I hadn't thought of that earlier, which is why I let Abagerin escape. Now I can't let Biggleslow escape either; I have to have him lead everyone out!
"Why are you looking at me? I really can't! Who said you have to know your companion's magic? It's obviously very difficult to learn other people's magic!"
Feeling embarrassed under everyone's gaze, Biguslow quickly explained that not everyone has the talent to learn multiple spells. Most people are already struggling to develop their own spells well, let alone have the time or inclination to learn other spells.
"Only Lucy and Emerald are allowed to pass!"
Just as Bigus finished explaining, Lucy and Emerald had already reconstructed the spell and jumped off the ship together. Although they were a little slower than Ebagrim, it only took them a minute longer. The others would have to wait another three minutes.
"What's going on with you two?!"
Gray and Natsu were shocked to see Lucy and Emerald, the close sisters, leave. When did these two learn the Reconstruction Spell? Has this magic suddenly become so popular?
"I knew Fried might do this, so I learned how to counter it from Levy beforehand. Even though I'm not very skilled, it worked! You guys just wait inside!"
Lucy laughed happily, showing off her foresight.
Wearing the "Cygnus Suit," Lucy used the "Diamond Dust" punch to freeze the sea surface before running off with Emerald. Their preparations were truly thorough.
"Damn it! Take me with you! I can make the sea freeze even faster!"
Gray lay sprawled on the "spell barrier," watching Lucy and Emerald gradually run away on the ice, feeling utterly heartbroken.
We're all Moen's apprentices, we should support each other! Not including Natsu is one thing, but why not include him too?!
Gray roared inwardly, "If Lucy were to go alone, I wouldn't have anything to say, but since she's brought Emerald along, it wouldn't hurt to bring one more along!"
"Damn it! They just love doing all this useless stuff!"
Natsu gritted his teeth and uttered a harsh complaint, but he didn't act impulsively. Instead, he waited with everyone for the "spell" to end.
Natsu was determined to succeed in this test, so he naturally didn't want to waste his magic power unnecessarily. If he broke the barrier, everyone else could rush out with him.
It's one thing for others, but Natsu glanced at Gray and, sure enough, found that the guy was also looking at him, seemingly expecting him to break the deadlock.
"dream!"
Natsu muttered to himself, "I'm not going to be the one to stick my neck out!"
Soon, five minutes were up, and Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Juvia, Biggleslow, Elfman, and Cana were able to disembark. They immediately used their unique abilities to set off quickly.
Natsu and Happy, as usual, flew over, with Happy flapping his wings and pulling Natsu along as they darted away.
Gray was still skating, and his speed was not slow at all. He had even practiced extra to prepare for today's performance.
"Haha, I'm off too!"
Biguslo used the "Star Chart - Puppet Possession" magic, stepping on his little wooden puppet and flying out at a very fast speed.
Without hesitation, Juvia jumped into the sea and swam. Rather than swimming, it was the seawater that propelled her, and as she transformed into a water element, she quickly disappeared into the sea.
Gajeel, Cana, and Elfman looked at each other in surprise, followed by the sound of them entering the water one after another. The three of them were moving at different speeds, with Elfman in the lead, Gajeel close behind, and Cana lagging behind.
"Tsk~"
Seeing this, Moen couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Seeing Kana's defiant attitude, he felt a pang of pity. There was nothing he could do; compared to these people, Kana's strength was indeed slightly inferior.
"Buzz!"
Moen's figure disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived on "Sirius Island".
Standing on the island, Moen closed his eyes. Just standing on this island, it felt as if magic was constantly flowing into his body. This "Tenrou Island" itself was extremely rich in magic, and with the addition of the magic crest, the people of "Fairy Tail" would indeed be strengthened on the island and be able to exert greater strength.
Moen had visited "Tenrou Island" several times before to study this thing. He had always wanted to make "Magnoria" like this, so that "Magnoria" could also bring strength to everyone in "Fairy Tail" and that would be the true symbol of power.
"Unfortunately, there hasn't been much progress so far."
Moen sighed, his brow furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat annoyed.
"I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy."
Moen rubbed his temples. He knew this was not a normal phenomenon; it was more like some kind of warning, a warning from a superpower.
"Buzz!"
Without hesitation, Moen activated his "foresight" ability. When in doubt, he would simply "foresee the future." Although Moen couldn't directly peer into all timelines, and even the time he could "foresee" was relatively short, if something really happened, predicting a few hours into the future would be enough.
Soon, various images began to appear in Moen's mind, all related to the assessment and to everyone in "Fairy Tail," and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Moen's attention finally focused when an unfamiliar figure appeared in the "future" scene.
It was a young man with black hair, wearing a black robe with a high collar, a pendant on his chest, a long white cloth tied over the robe, and black boots. He looked somewhat dejected.
"Who is this? I don't recognize him. How did he get in?"
Moen had no recollection of this person, which meant that the other party was not a famous mage, but finding "Tenrou Island" and being able to get onto the island was something that ordinary mages could not do.
The outer perimeter of Sirius Island and the land beneath it contain powerful magic that shrouds the entire island in mist, making it difficult for outsiders to discover. Ordinary mages simply cannot see through the island's disguise.
Moen frowned as the scene continued to unfold. The strange guy was no longer the focus, because another group of people rushed onto the island. Unlike the strange guy who was wandering around the island, this group of people who rushed onto the island quickly clashed with Fairy Tail, clearly indicating that they had no good intentions.
"Buzz!"
The deduction ended quickly, and Moen's "foreseeing the future" could only see this far ahead, but that was enough.
"Urutia..."
""
Moen saw the woman, the escaped Ultia, and with that, the identities of this group became obvious.
"The Heart of the Devil!"
Moen's expression turned serious, then quickly turned into a cold laugh.
"They've finally arrived! I just didn't expect them to find their way to Sirius Island!"
Moen wasn't surprised to encounter "Heart of the Devil"; a battle between them was inevitable. What surprised him was how quickly the battle had begun, given that he had only just fought "Oracles".
"Could it be that the story of Fairy Tail is going to end completely in X784? Isn't that too late? It's already December. We can't just fight another one right after defeating Devil Heart."
Thinking about this, Moen couldn't help but gasp. They, the members of "Fairy Tail," really had a tough time. Is this the treatment of the main characters?
