Chapter 408 Demon Subduing Hall
The next day.
Amidst the thunderous cheers of the audience, the Grand Magic Games commenced as scheduled.
Hello everyone, we meet again!
"Today's live broadcast and commentary will still be provided by Mr. Yajima and me, and our special guest is Mr. Lahar, the captain of the Council's forced detention force!"
In the commentary booth, Chabadi, now sporting a green wig, turned to Rahar beside him. "Mr. Rahar, welcome. Is there anything you'd like to say to the audience and the participants?"
Please take care of me.
Wearing the council uniform, Lahar adjusted his glasses and said seriously, "I will not tolerate any unfair practices in the conference."
At his invitation, his colleague Doranbalt (Future Mester) also appeared in the audience, ready to cheer on Fairy Tail and Wendy, who had teamed up with them on Tenrou Island.
"As expected of the captain, he never forgets his duty."
Chabadi sighed, then immediately got to the point, "Next, I will announce the results of the third day's competition, its name is..."
"The Demon-Subduing Hall!!"
The passionate voice, coupled with the incredibly exciting name, instantly ignited the crowd, eliciting a rousing response.
Despite finishing second to last or third to last in yesterday's competition, it did not affect the audience's perception of Fairy Tail at all—Elfman and Mirai's performances were simply too outstanding!
As a result, the number of spectators wearing support costumes did not decrease, but instead surged.
Almost every area had people waving Fairy Tail flags, and the scale was no less than that of other popular guilds!
As a result, the voices supporting Saberbite Tiger have decreased significantly, and those remaining are almost entirely true fans.
A seat reserved exclusively for Fairy Tail.
"What exactly is the Demon Subduing Hall project?"
"As the name suggests, it's probably inhabited by many monsters, right?"
"It could also be like Crocus's haunted house, where you're walking down a dark road and suddenly—"
After successfully attracting everyone's attention, Makarov made a scary face with a "whoosh".
Romeo, Charlotte, Happy, and the other timid people were all startled, their hair standing on end.
The two Mavis, who were spirits themselves, were so frightened that tears streamed down their faces, instantly drawing a barrage of complaints from Future Macao and the others.
Fairy Tail Team A.
"Let me play this time and widen the gap between us and Team B by one point!"
Future Erza, dressed in her usual armor, stepped forward and glared at the energetic Future Natsu with an unquestionable look, turning him into a Happy 2.0.
"It's already been decided that this is going to be a contest against Team B!" Lucy shouted.
As expected, Erza from both worlds is exactly the same when she gets serious.
"By the way, Erza is playing today," Future Gray said.
"After all, our Erza hasn't recovered from last night's date yet—"
Lucy sighed and rubbed her forehead. "And could you please put on your team uniform first?"
"What?! When?!" Future Gray exclaimed in surprise as he was about to complain when Lucy suddenly noticed Wendy leaning against the wall, gazing longingly at the Sabertooth audience across the way.
Following her gaze, one could see a sexy woman in a cheongsam standing next to the gloomy-faced Future Jeman.
Both her face shape and hair color are very similar to Minerva's when she was a child.
"Lucy, do you think Minerva really turned into the kind of bad woman Natsume described?" Wendy couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, no matter what, it won't affect Minerba over there."
Lucy noticed Wendy's worry and said with a smile, "If we run into each other at the competition, I'll give her my regards!"
"Really?! Thank you, Lucy!" Wendy immediately perked up.
She really wanted to greet Minerva of this world, but seeing her cold expression made her hesitate.
Seemingly noticing their gazes, Future Minerva turned her head to look over, her eyes filled with an unsettling chill, completely devoid of the innocence and resilience she possessed as a child.
Lucy frowned slightly, meeting her gaze without flinching.
Following the trajectory of this world's development, and considering Sabertooth's previous actions, Minerva, who grew up under the guidance of Chairman Germain,
They were likely indoctrinated with the theory of "might makes right" and became the kind of person that people dislike.
She couldn't bear to say those words to Wendy, who was full of expectations.
"Alright, all contestants, please enter the arena. I will now explain the detailed rules of the 'Demon Subduing Hall'."
In the center of the arena, the pumpkin-headed referee, who had disappeared for a day, reappeared before the audience.
His words timely interrupted Lucy's eye contact with the future Minerva.
Players from various guilds took to the field one after another, namely:
Future Erza of Fairy Tail Team A, Mira of Fairy Tail Team B, Oga Nanagil of Saberbito, and Jura of Boa Princess Scale;
Mermaid Heel Miliana, Raven Tail Arnold (candidate), Blue Pegasus Hibiki Rettis, and Four-Headed Dog Nobali.
The moment the contestants arrived, Pumpkin Head snapped his fingers.
Metaphor!
A giant dark purple magic circle suddenly unfolded above the arena.
With a deafening roar, a massive, inverted, pitch-black palace slowly emerged from the thick, billowing black mist.
A chilling and terrifying atmosphere permeated the entire venue!
"That's the rule. This hall has a hundred different kinds of monsters."
"Because it is a product manifested through magic, none of you here need to worry about being attacked."
After calming the terrified audience and contestants, Pumpkin Head began to explain the detailed rules of the competition.
Fairy Tail Team B.
"She just said she wasn't interested, but when she saw that the opponent was Erza, she went straight for her." Future Cana took a sip of her drink, somewhat annoyed.
According to the decision made by Team B in their meeting last night, she should be playing today.
To this end, she even went so far as to borrow the "fairy's radiance" from the first president to make a splash.
"Even if we're not from the same world, even if we only share the same face, we absolutely cannot let go of the opportunity to suppress our love rival!"
Juvia pulled out a notebook covered in Gray's headshots and added "Future Juvia" above the two Lucy highlights.
"Haha, I wonder how her luck compares to Erza's over there."
Chase smiled as he looked at Mira, who was standing on the field in a black dress. Mira, who was usually "laid-back," was so energetic, which was naturally influenced by the first kiss incident last night.
Given her cunning nature, she most likely wants to win the championship and then ruthlessly "reward" Erza!
What a cute girlfriend, yet with a bit of a temper! "Luck? You noticed it too?"
Future Laxus narrowed his eyes, recalling the scenes from the qualifiers. "That's right, how could a monster like you possibly follow the rules and follow the organizers' schedule?"
"It's not that simple," Gajeel said doubtfully.
Juvia then began to analyze the situation with an air of importance: "Not only do we need to control the rhythm of the battle and make judgments based on the scores of other opponents, but we also need to try to avoid encountering the strongest S-class monster."
After all, she was an S-rank in Phantom Troupe, and when it didn't involve Gray, her mind was still very sharp and useful.
The two who joined the guild later clearly didn't have a deep enough understanding of Fairy Tail's S-rank mages.
Just as the two were puzzled, the contestants had already drawn lots to determine the order of their challenges.
Mira was incredibly lucky and drew the number one tag!
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Erza, I won this match!" Mira smiled happily.
"Call—." Future Erza sighed heavily.
Players from other guilds were confused by their conversation.
