Chapter 383 What a huge black pot
Not long after Chase and his group left the examination hall after setting up the trap, a second team entered the center of the aerial maze.
He is a mage of Saberbite Tiger.
"It's going to pass so soon? How boring." Future Roger walked on the upside-down sky, looking around the space with disdain.
"Hahaha! That only applies to us, the strongest team. The other teams are still wandering around the maze right now." Future Stinger laughed heartily.
"It's exactly the same situation as I remember. Even in the preliminaries, Sabertooth was undoubtedly No. 1." Future Lufas elegantly adjusted the brim of his hat.
"Now we just need to wait for the maze to be rebuilt, and then we can return to the ground and head to the end."
Oga Nanagil, the Thunder God Slayer Mage, was quite bored. "I thought it would be more interesting."
Walking behind the group, the Celestial Spirit Mage Yukino remained silent, a nameless sorrow flickering deep in her eyes.
Is it really that simple?
Because she had never felt needed by anyone, she had a somewhat pessimistic personality and was always worried that the people she was with would encounter misfortune.
In fact, whether in terms of strength or the ability to cope with complex environments, they are no match for Jura of Boa Hancock Scale.
Unfortunately, the aerial maze mainly tests teamwork. Although Jura's team also had Leon and Sheria, they were still held back by the other two members.
On the other hand, the members of Saberbite Tiger are all very close in strength, and each of them would be at the S-rank level in an ordinary guild!
Hum Yuyu.
As the mechanical gears turned, a vibrating sound reverberated throughout the space, and the direction of gravity changed once again.
The five members of Saber-Biting Tiger landed steadily on the ground corresponding to the sky.
"If my memory serves me right, crossing this land should lead to..."
As soon as Lufas took his first step, his confident expression suddenly changed.
The magic circle beneath their feet glowed, and a card they had never seen before slowly flipped over.
Trap Card: Hexagram's Curse!
"This is?!"
Future Rogge's pupils contracted as he stared in astonishment at the six-pointed star magic circle that had them firmly bound in place.
Before they could react, thunder roared overhead, triggering the hidden golden magic crystal and unleashing lightning that completely submerged the surrounding area!
Meanwhile, the other teams that arrived at the center of the maze also encountered varying degrees of obstruction.
The Serpent Princess's Scale Squad is restricted by three holy lightsabers; the Mermaid Squad is surrounded by an iron rod maze; and the Azure Pegasus Squad is trapped in a whirlpool of ocean currents.
The worst off was the four-hound team, who stepped into clumps of black mud that slowed their progress and subjected them to a double blow to their mental and visual well-being!
"Damn it! Setting a trap is one thing, but the organizers are so unethical, burying this disgusting stuff here!"
Seeing the sticky black mud covering their boots, the irritable four-headed hound mages couldn't help but curse.
Other teams that had fallen into traps and suffered greatly also hurled insults, pointing the finger at the organizers of the Grand Magic Games, denouncing them for being completely unethical and failing to inform the participants beforehand.
The chorus of praises rose and fell, flowing into the ears of the pumpkin head at the end.
Witnessing what Chase and his group had done, his lips twitched violently, and his entire face turned black.
No, I didn't! I didn't do those things!
As he paced anxiously, wishing he could rush out and explain, he suddenly noticed five people sprinting toward him on a suspended dirt road set up on the sea at the edge of his field of vision.
It's Fairy Tail Team A!
"Damn it! We thought we were the fastest, but I didn't expect so many people to have arrived!"
Looking at the incredibly lively interior space, Future Natsu looked displeased.
"Something feels off. Why haven't we triggered any similar traps along the way?" Future Gray analyzed as he ran.
"Hehe, it must be because of my incredible luck!" Future Lucy said smugly.
Erza's eyes flickered as she recalled the information about Team B that she had learned from her counterpart in another world, and she roughly guessed the reason.
Her understanding of Chase's card magic was quite limited, but the constantly falling lightning, the vast steel forests, and especially those uniquely shaped black mud puddings, all felt very familiar!
"Who cares? Just charge in! A real man!!" Future Elfman cheered loudly.
"Ooooooo!!!"
Ultimately, unsurprisingly, they arrived at the finish line first, without any obstacles.
"Congratulations! Fairy Tail, you're second place!" Pumpkin Head clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Having been unjustly burdened with a huge accusation, he lost all his initial expectations and just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.
"What?! Only second place?"
"That can't be! There are other teams that are faster than us?!"
The future Natsu trio were greatly shocked, their faces showing disbelief.
Future Erza remained silent, while Future Lucy shrank back and muttered under her breath:
"Is it just my imagination? Why does his gaze seem full of contempt and resentment?"
And so, the tense and exciting preliminary rounds came to an end with Fairy Tail taking first and second place.
Meanwhile, the members of Team B, who had long since returned to the designated hotel, had already taken a comfortable shower and were now chatting in the slightly cramped living room, reminiscing about their "masterpiece."
"Oh dear, he even set traps for the other contestants, Chase is so mean~"
Listening to the smug description of the future world, Mira couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.
I guess I imagined the scene of that group of people yelling and cursing.
"Damn it! If I had known it would be this fun, I would have gone even if I had thrown up halfway there!" Gajeel was extremely annoyed.
"It's a pity we couldn't trick Natsu and the others into joining us."
Laxus sighed with some regret, then looked at Chase, who had just finished speaking with the old man, and asked, "Chase, how's Team A doing?"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately stopped talking, and the two Wendy's held their breath in extreme tension.
If Team A is eliminated because of their carelessness and negligence, they definitely won't be able to sleep tonight!
"throat--
Chase first sighed heavily, then after a few seconds of contemplation, he smiled and said, "They got second place."
"Even through the cards, I can clearly see the smug expressions on your two grandfathers' faces, their mouths practically splitting with laughter!"
The two Wendy girls, tears welling up in their eyes, were stunned for a moment, then happily hugged each other: "Mwah, wow, wow, this is so wonderful!"
Xia Lulu glared angrily at the card player, while in the future, Xia Lulu acted like a mother hen, lecturing them to be more composed.
Two grandfathers.
In the future, Laxus felt that this statement was a bit strange, and he was not surprised at all by Team A's result.
"And what about that bastard father, Raven's tail?" he asked in a deep voice, his expression turning slightly serious.
"What the old men mean is that if those guys also get through the qualifiers, we don't need to worry about them, just be extra careful."
"Chess said."
Although Raven's Tail lacks Obra, a formal member, compared to the original story, it shouldn't be so bad that they can't even get past the preliminaries.
Of course, no matter which substitute player was brought on, the outcome was already predetermined when Ivan came to participate in the Grand Magic Games.
"I see—." Future Laxus clenched his fist slightly, making a decision in his heart.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that he attacked Wendy is unforgivable!
It's almost 1 a.m. now, and I have to participate in the Grand Magic Games tomorrow.
After chatting for a while, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
The stingy organizers did not arrange separate bedrooms, but instead put six beds, including those for the team members, in the same room.
After all, he was a transmigrator from another world, so Chess generously gave up his bed and took his companions from his own world to make do in the Dark Magician Girl's castle in the card space.
Melcolias, Palace of the Lanterns.
"I'm so angry! I'm absolutely furious! How could they put such a huge scapegoat on my head!"
On the throne in the palace, King Thomas, having removed his pumpkin headgear, was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Beside him, Arcadios, clad in silver knight armor, stood silently guard.
He is the Grand Master of the Cherry Blossom Holy Knights of the Fiore Royal Family, as well as a confidant and bodyguard of Princess Emerald, and a staunch supporter of the "Eclipse Project".
"Arcadias".
Looking at the eight teams that had passed the qualifiers displayed in front of him, Thomas pondered for a moment and then focused his gaze on the portraits of the Ten Wizard Saints of Boa Hancock Scale.
"Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"
"The others don't matter, but in tomorrow's battle, make sure to pair Jura with that Chess guy. That brat who loves to cause trouble really needs to learn his lesson!"
"Understood."
