Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
After a day of rest and adjustment, the day of the Grand Magic Games' finals had finally arrived.
Focusing on the Grand Magic Games' venue, although the matches hadn't started yet, the spectators in the surrounding stands were already cheering excitedly.
After some time, the live commentator on the high platform loudly announced in an impassioned tone: "Now then, the long-awaited championship finals have finally arrived!"
"This year's finals stage is the entire city of Crocus!"
"Audience members in the venue can watch the situation of each team through magic crystals!"
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, numerous virtual screens appeared in the sky above the massive venue.
Those screens were arranged in a circle around the arena.
And the content on each screen was different.
The screen to the due south displayed Fairy Tail's Kenichi, Erza, Mirajane, Gildarts, and Laxus.
The screen next to it displayed Mermaid Heel's members, including Kagura...
Makarov, Macao, and the other Fairy Tail's members, looking at the screen showing Kenichi, Erza, and the group, shouted encouragement loudly, regardless of whether Kenichi and the others could hear them or not: "Do your best, Kenichi, Erza..."
At the same time, the members of guilds like Lamia Scale and Mermaid Heel were also looking at the screens displaying their guild's teams and shouting encouragement loudly.
At this moment, the cheers coming from the Grand Magic Games' venue resounded throughout the entire capital.
"The sound actually reached here? It's really noisy!"
Kenichi, who was in a park somewhere in the capital, heard the deafening cheers coming through the air and spoke somewhat helplessly.
"Don't mind it. After all, they are cheering for us."
Hearing Kenichi's words, Erza, standing to his left clad in battle attire, spoke up.
And Mirajane, standing to Kenichi's right in a black gothic dress, wore a smile on her face.
While Kenichi and Erza were talking, the live commentator in the venue announced again: "The finals are about to begin! First, let me explain the rules!"
"The finals are a survival battle between the 6 teams!"
"Each team consists of a Captain and four regular members!"
"For each regular member of another team defeated, a contestant earns 1 point. Defeating a Captain earns 5 points!"
"For completely eliminating an entire team, you earn 9 points. Eliminating all 5 other teams would be 45 points!"
When the commentator reached this point, a huge virtual screen appeared high in the sky above the venue.
The content displayed on the screen was the points ranking of the 6 teams.
Fairy Tail, 70 points!
Sabertooth, 40 points!
Blue Pegasus, 28 points!
Mermaid Heel, 26 points!
Lamia Scale, 26 points!
Quatro Cerberus, 10 points!
Looking at the points ranking screen, the commentator continued: "The current points for the 6 teams are as shown on the screen!"
"Although Fairy Tail is far ahead with 70 points, aside from Quatro Cerberus, all other teams still have a chance to win the championship!"
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the venue erupted once again.
Some cheered for Fairy Tail's massive advantage.
Others shouted support for teams like Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus.
And some felt sorry for Quatro Cerberus being out of the championship race.
After all, the gap between first-place Fairy Tail and sixth-place Quatro Cerberus was too large.
Even if Quatro Cerberus eliminated all the other five teams, they could only reach 55 points at most, while Fairy Tail already had 70 points!
"Fifth Generation, as long as our team gains 8 more points, we will definitely win the championship!"
Mavis looked at the points ranking on the virtual screen, her eyes shining with excitement, her face full of joy.
"Why would gaining 8 points guarantee the championship?"
Natsu asked, looking confused.
Mavis looked at Natsu and explained with a smile: "Currently, our team has 70 points. If we gain 8 more points, we reach 78. Meanwhile, the second-place Sabertooth, even if they get all the remaining 37 points, would only have 77 points at most!"
Hearing Mavis's words, Macao, Romeo, and the other Fairy Tail's members immediately cheered.
"So that means our chance of winning the championship is extremely high?"
Romeo clenched his fists and said excitedly.
"Not just extremely high, it's a 100% guarantee!"
Macao looked at Kenichi, Erza, Mirajane, Gildarts, and Laxus on the screen and spoke with absolute certainty.
In Macao's view, for Kenichi, Erza, and the group to gain 8 points would be as easy as turning over one's hand!
And for other teams to get points from Fairy Tail was almost impossible.
After all, the strength of Kenichi, Erza, and the group was exceptionally powerful!
Amidst the audience's cheers, the live commentator on the high platform loudly announced: "The Grand Magic Games' finals... begin now!"
With the commentator's command, the teams located in different parts of the capital all began to move.
