On the eve of the Grand Magic Games,
"We're finally back at the guild!" Natsu sighed with relief, then collapsed heavily onto the ground, letting out a long sigh: "Ah~"
He was completely drained, as if he had just been through a thrilling battle, without even the strength to move a finger, only able to lie on the ground groaning in pain.
Wendy, who was beside him, also felt extremely tired, but her condition was better than Natsu's, and she didn't react as violently as Natsu.
She looked at Natsu and asked with concern: "Natsu, are you alright?"
However, when Gajeel saw Natsu in this state, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, Natsu, it seems this time… I won!" Although his laughter sounded very hearty, a hint of fatigue could still be detected from his slightly hoarse voice.
"Aye! It's great to be back. Isn't it, Carla?" Happy looked at the guild with emotion, then turned to ask Carla.
"Yes, the training is finally over!" Carla crossed her arms.
Three days after Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy met the Dragons they had been longing for,
They decided to undergo targeted special training.
They were gone for a full three months, forgetting the time during training, and only rushed back to the guild when the list of participating members was about to be announced.
However, at this time, Everyone from Fairy Tail who had gone out for training had already returned to the guild early, and after noticing Natsu and the others returning, they all walked out of the guild.
"Natsu, what's… with that expression?" Elfman's large shadow covered Natsu, and he said loudly.
Natsu, who was covered, looked up in confusion: "Hmm?"
"Cheer up, that's what a man should be like!" Elfman raised his hands, frequently making gestures to show off his muscles, clearly indicating that the six months of training had been very fruitful for him.
Broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with highly prominent muscles, he looked full of power and gave a strong sense of security!
"Elfman? You seem to have gained a lot of muscle!" Natsu immediately got up, scanning him up and down, and then also looked at his own muscles.
"That's amazing!" Natsu praised.
"Big Brother Elfman trained by climbing mountains with Mira and me, and also received comprehensive training from Mira!" Lisanna emphasized from the side.
"I also overcame my dislike for natto during this time!" Bickslow also said proudly, with his hands on his hips.
This matter seemed very important to him.
"I also overcame my fear of heights, but most importantly, my Telepathy Magic has greatly improved!" Warren clenched one hand into a fist, also emphasizing proudly.
Just then, Happy suddenly jumped out and commented from the side: "I don't think these trainings are very useful!"
The others in the guild successively reported their achievements on the training grounds to Everyone, but there was no sign of Laxus and his group.
Natsu felt puzzled and couldn't help but look up towards the guild.
Zorn and Laxus stood side by side in front of the guild gate, with meaningful smiles on their faces, their gaze fixed directly on them.
"It seems Everyone has put in a lot of effort for the upcoming Grand Magic Games!"
"But don't rush, let's gather inside the guild first!"
After Everyone had gathered inside the guild,
Zorn ascended the high platform.
Third Guild Master Makarov and First Guild Master Mavis sat on the bar, smiling as they watched the stage.
Clearly, Makarov and Mavis chose to step back, having fully entrusted Zorn with all guild-related matters.
"Alright, now I will officially announce the five representative members for this Grand Magic Games!" Mid-sentence, Zorn paused deliberately.
Everyone's curiosity was instantly piqued, even Natsu, Gray, and others were no exception.
"Laxus!"
"Natsu!"
"Gray!"
"Gajeel!"
"Elfman!" As Zorn called out these names, gasps of surprise immediately erupted throughout the guild.
"Huh, Team A? Could it be…" People were surprised to find that this was only one of the teams, and they whispered to each other, discussing in disbelief.
At this moment, Juvia fell into sadness because she didn't hear her name.
"Gray, Juvia wants to be with you!"
