She clenched her fists, covered her face, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.
But when she learned that this was only the first team, she cheered up again.
Juvia was heartbroken, but deep down, she was still full of adoration and longing for Gray.
She silently called out in her heart: "Gray, please let me participate in this competition with you!"
"Excellent! As a true man, I will definitely win this victory for our guild!"
Elfman shouted this excitedly, clenching his fists tightly, accompanied by crisp cracking sounds that echoed throughout the venue, showing immense confidence and determination.
Lisanna, seeing this, beamed with joy and congratulated Elfman: "Congratulations, Big Brother Elfman!"
Immediately after, Zorn unhesitatingly announced the members of the second team:
"Erza!"
"Mirajane!"
"Lucy!"
"Wendy!"
"Juvia!" This is our Team B lineup!"
However, as soon as the words fell, Wendy and Lucy both cried out in astonishment almost simultaneously.
Wendy even quickly stepped forward, walking directly in front of Zorn, her face full of panic: "Big Brother Zorn, how can this be? Kana can participate too!" Wendy's eyes showed a hint of worry, fearing that she might delay the guild's competition.
"Wendy, don't worry, you are very strong!" Kana walked over to Wendy, crouched down, and comforted her.
"Yes! And we must defeat all the guilds in the competition and show them who is the number one guild in the Fiore Kingdom!" Erza domineeringly and loudly expressed her view directly.
She regarded the guild's honor as her own standard of conduct!
"Oh, yeah!"
"I'm fired up!" Natsu, upon hearing this, was also extremely excited, and flames erupted from his hands!
In a nearby spot, Kinana was frowning slightly, her eyes a bit dazed as she stared at a guild participation list in her hand.
Eclair, who was sitting beside her, noticed her unusual behavior, holding Momon in her arms, and asked worriedly: "Kinana, what's wrong? You look like you're not feeling well."
Kinana looked up at the sound, shook her head gently, and replied: "I'm fine, I might just be a little tired."
But her gaze still didn't leave the list.
Eclair curiously leaned over, looking at the list in Kinana's hand, and also followed her gaze.
When she saw the Magician named "Erik," she didn't notice anything unusual.
However, Kinana didn't seem to be reassured by this. She stared intently at the name, muttering to herself: "It's really strange… I always feel like this person is very familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before…"
Seeing this, Eclair tried to comfort her: "Maybe it's just a coincidence? The world is so big, sometimes it's normal to meet people who look similar or feel similar."
Kinana nodded, but deep down, she could never shake off that inexplicable sense of familiarity.
She silently put down the list, deeply imprinting the name of this person in her heart, deciding to pay attention to this mysterious Magician—Erik—in the subsequent competitions.
