The curtain of the stage was instantly pulled open amid the roar of music, as if a flash of lightning had cut through the darkness, revealing the glorious scene of the stage.
Makarov, the dignified president, stood majestically at the forefront of the stage, his figure appearing even taller under the light.
He was wearing the Holy Ten Cloak that symbolized the strongest wizard. The cloak sparkled with golden light in the sun, as if it was a battle robe woven from sunlight and glory.
On the left and right sides of Makarov were Erza with her hands on her hips and Mirajane holding a panel.
Erza, the female warrior with both beauty and strength, had a slight smile on her face at this moment, her eyes full of anticipation and pride. She looked at the members below the stage, as if conveying some kind of power to them.
Mirajane looked at everyone with a smile. Her smile was like the spring sunshine, warm and bright, bringing endless comfort and strength to people.
Following behind him were Gildarts and Raphael, two of the best in the guild.
Gildarts was still wearing his unchanging brown-red cloak. That cloak seemed to have become his symbol and would attract attention wherever he went.
Raphael looked at everyone expressionlessly. His eyes were deep and cold, as if he was just a passerby. But everyone knew that his heart was actually full of love for the guild and his companions.
"Ohhhh—"
As the stage appeared, the audience below instantly became excited and cheers rang out one after another.
Their faces were filled with excitement, as if they couldn't wait to know what would happen next.
"It's finally here! Announce the list quickly! President!" someone shouted, his voice full of anticipation and excitement.
"Yes! Yes! I'm so looking forward to it! I wonder who it will be this year?" another person echoed, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Everyone was asking Makarov about a certain list, their voices merging into a noisy ocean.
"Ahem!"
Makarov cleared his throat, glanced at everyone present, and then said solemnly:
"According to the tradition of our Fairy Tail Guild, I will now officially release the list of candidates for the S-class magician upgrade assessment!"
As soon as Makarov finished speaking, the entire conference hall boiled over in an instant as if a flame had been ignited.
Cheers, screams, and applause intertwined together, surging like a tidal wave, almost overturning the entire guild hall.
When Lucy heard the words "S-class wizard upgrade assessment", her eyes suddenly lit up and she opened her mouth in surprise, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
"S-class wizard upgrade assessment?! So this is the news! I am really looking forward to it!"
Natsu, on the other hand, was acting completely different. The fire in his body seemed to be even stronger, and his eyes were shining with a fiery light.
He waved his fist excitedly and shouted, "I'm fired up! I must pass the test this time and become a true S-class wizard!"
When the cheers of the crowd gradually died down, Makarov continued, "This year, our examination venue will still be located on Tianlang Island. It is the holy land of our union and the place where our predecessors have left their valuable experience and wisdom.
This year, I have personally witnessed the growth and progress of each member. I am deeply pleased with your strength, faith and will. Therefore, I have decided that eight outstanding members will participate in this S-class magician upgrade assessment! "
Hearing this news, everyone was excited again. They all speculated who the eight lucky winners would be, and their hearts were filled with anticipation and excitement.
Everyone hopes that they can become one of them, move to a higher stage and show their strength and talent.
"First one! Natsu Dragneel!"
The moment Happy and Natsu heard the announcement, they jumped up from their seats, the excitement in their hearts was beyond words.
Happy flapped his wings and said to Natsu with a big smile on his face: "Great, Natsu! You finally got the chance to take the S-class wizard promotion exam!"
Natsu's eyes burned with blazing fire, and he clenched his fists, as if he could feel the power surging from deep within his heart.
He replied excitedly: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time! Now, I can finally show my strength and prove that I am the strongest!"
Then, another voice came from the stage: "Second place! Gray Folpasta!"
When Gray heard his name, his eyes narrowed slightly and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He clenched his fists, feeling the magic power surging in his body, and said coldly: "I have been looking forward to this day for a long time!"
He turned his gaze to Natsu and they both looked at each other, both of them had a strong fighting spirit in their eyes.
They all knew that this promotion exam would be a fierce competition, but they were full of confidence and determination.
Then, the list continued to be announced on the stage: "Third place! Juvia Rox!"
Juvia was originally happy that Gray was selected, but when she heard her name, her mouth opened in surprise.
She pointed at herself, looked at Makarov in disbelief, and asked confusedly: "Huh? Can Juvia participate too?"
Makarov smiled and nodded. He had always valued Juvia. He saw the girl's deep affection for Gray, her loyalty and friendship to her friends.
Moreover, Juvia herself possesses S-level strength, making her an excellent candidate for this promotion exam.
