"So you've integrated the entire water arena into your own body..."
Finn recognized it at the first time.
"This is something that requires an extremely vast amount of magic power to accomplish!"
The corners of his lips slowly curled up, and a look of admiration appeared on Finn's face.
"It seems that Juvia has become a lot stronger!"
"How could this be... what exactly is going on?"
In the wall ruins, Minerva painfully clutched her abdomen, an incredulous expression occupying her face.
Slowly raising her head, Minerva saw that huge and scary face.
At this moment, she finally understood what had happened just now.
On the other side, Juvia had also returned to her human form.
In her hand was Lucy's key, which she had just taken back from Minerva.
She looked at Minerva with a indifferent gaze, didn't say anything, but walked towards Lucy.
Such a dismissive attitude, was like a sharp sword stabbed into Minerva's heart.
"Fairy Tail..." Minerva muttered softly.
She leaned against the wall and stood up, the pain even making her face a bit twisted.
"Just you wait..."
After glancing fiercely in the direction of Fairy Tail, Minerva walked towards the Sabertooth viewing platform.
On the Sabertooth viewing platform.
"Young lady, are you alright?" Sting and the others surrounded her.
Minerva slowly shook her head.
Her face was extremely gloomy: "I'm fine, I just underestimated that woman..."
"I didn't expect that she could integrate the entire water arena!"
Saying this, her gaze turned to the few people: "This is a lesson!"
"Fairy Tail is not that simple, we must take out all our strength to maintain our strongest position!"
The others nodded one after another, responding to Minerva's words.
——————
The first competition had been announced to be over.
There was still about an hour of intermission before the next competition.
The magic crystal display screen also showed the ranking of each guild so far.
1. Fairy Tail B: 60P
2. Fairy Tail A: 50P
3. Sabertooth: 38P
4. Mermaid Heel: 34P
5. Blue Pegasus: 19P
6. Lamia Scale: 18P
7. Quatro Cerberus: 14P
Of course, today's final results hadn't come out yet, so the ranking could still change.
But without a doubt, the two Fairy Tail teams were still pressing down on the heads of all the guilds like mountains.
——————
Inside the Fairy Tail rest room, everyone gathered here.
"That... I'm sorry... everyone," Lucy, who was sitting in the corner, lowered her head and said softly.
"I... couldn't win against Minerva."
Her voice seemed to carry a hint of self-blame.
"What are you saying, Lucy, you got third place, and your performance was very good!"
Gray said, comforting her.
"That's right, you did a great job!" Erza also said.
"Moreover, we got 6 points!"
"That's right, Lucy was really cool when she showed off her Star Dress!"
Everyone spoke up one after another.
"See, no one blames you, if we have to blame someone... we can only say that you were a bit unlucky, meeting a space mage, it's really too disadvantageous for a holder-type mage."
Finn said slowly.
"However... those guys are really annoying!"
Gajeel crossed his arms and said indignantly.
"Then just beat them back in the next competition!" Laxus patted Gajeel's shoulder.
Squeak... The door of the rest room was slowly pushed open.
"Have the people from Team A and Team B all arrived?" Makarov walked in and said.
His gaze glanced around at everyone and nodded slightly, "I happen to have something to announce."
Looking at the gazes that everyone cast over, Makarov lowered his head slightly: "I don't even know if the result will be good or bad."
"I just received a request from the organizers to integrate our Team A and Team B into one team."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone spoke up anxiously.
"What?"
"Integrate the people from Team A and Team B?"
"What exactly is going on?"
"That's right, why integrate the two teams?"
"What exactly are the organizers thinking?"
The bustling sounds constantly echoed in this small room.
"Everyone, be quiet." Finn frowned and interrupted everyone's discussion.
Then he looked at Makarov and asked, "Master, what exactly is the reason?"
Makarov was silent for a while, and then said: "Because Raven Tail has lost its qualification to participate, there are only seven teams left, so we can't properly arrange the next battle combinations."
"Therefore, they asked us to integrate the two teams, and select five people from them to re-form a team to participate in the competition."
"Re-select five people..." Erza murmured.
"What about the previous scores?" Nancy asked.
To this, Makarov sighed: "It seems that they are mainly based on the lower scoring side."
"That is, they will be calculated based on Team A's 50P."
"But this is too much, those are the scores that we worked hard to win."
Carla said with a frown.
"Since it's the organizer's decision, there's nothing we can do about it," Erza on the side said.
"However, from another perspective, we can also re-select the strongest team, can't we?"
Mirajane's mentality was very good.
"Moreover, even if we look at it from the lower side, we still have 50P," Wendy, who was hugging Carla, said.
Even Natsu couldn't help but nod.
"That's right, we are still leading all the guilds."
"However..." He paused.
"I must go! I will definitely not let those Sabertooth guys off!"
He clenched his hands tightly, and veins popped out on his forehead because of anger.
"It's not just you who's angry," Erza walked forward, her gaze gloomy.
If it wasn't for Juvia today, what kind of treatment Lucy would have received, no one dared to imagine.
————
"Then now, I will announce the list of the integrated team," Makarov's words pulled everyone's thoughts back.
"Natsu Dragneel!" Makarov looked at Natsu.
"Alright!!" Natsu bumped his fist into his palm and responded loudly.
"Gajeel Redfox!"
The corners of Gajeel's mouth hooked up in a smile: "I've been looking at that group of guys with displeasure for a long time!"
"Erza Scarlet!"
