289 Chapter 289 : The Start Of The First Battle...

As the girls came to their senses since they were petrified they didn't know the whole story, just the rules that Levy had managed to decode...

Ryouji started explaining the whole ordeal and many got pissed, especially Erza and Mira, however the ones who kept releasing killing intent was Violetta, Lisa and Anna, they could tell how Ryouji felt when he saw them as stones...

In truth, Ryouji had told them that Laxus had placed some kind of formation that will negate their magic but he didn't tell them they will turn to stone...

Ryouji : Don't worry that brat is too green to try and provoke me... Furthermore, if he hadn't turned you back, i fear that the hidden ones would have killed him already...

Erza : Yeah but that's not a reason for him to act like that...

Ryouji : Well, he's been fed up with how things are now...

Ryouji : So many things happened with no pause, that the people think Fairy Tail is weak...

Ryouji : As the son of the master son, he thinks it is his right to bring Fairy Tail to his former glory...

Mira : So you mean to say that he wishes to see the True strength of Fairy Tail??

Ryouji : Something Like that... Although his thought has been wrapped in power especially since i was also training him as he was sneaking inside the Guild to maximize the benefits...

Ryouji : Nevertheless, he is lost now... And someone needs to beat him up and make him realise how wrong he is...

Natsu : Damn it!!! I can't get out!!!

Gajeel : Why can't we make it out Salamander!!!

Natsu : Because we are over 400 years old...

Gajeel : Huh??

Ryouji : Gajeel i'll talk to you later about this...

Gajeel : Fine...

Ryouji : The fact that he turned you back shows that he doesn't want to take this way too far and cause some kind of death accident...

Ryouji : So all of you can leave and tried to fight them, it's a problem directly related to the inners of Fairy Tail so go and deal with it...

As Ryouji was talking with them somewhere in the Magnolia city the first battle was about to begin Jet and Droy meet up with Alzack as they were looking for Laxus. None of them has found him yet.

Alzack : Damn that Laxus!!!

Jet : Calm down...

Droy : With everything that happened to see his loved one turned to stone and then return back how do you expect him to feel..??

Alzack : If it wasn't for Ryouji, not even the master could have convinced him to turn them back...

Suddenly, symbols appear on the floor as they walked and surround them. They realize that it is Freed Justine's work and that there are probably runes like this all over town.

In front of their eyes, the runes appeared readable and stated that only the strongest Mage can come out, meaning they have to fight one another.

Azlack, Jet and Droy view this as a cheap trick by Freed. Meanwhile, where the others were locked and could not get out they saw some sort of status report written in the air. It reads "Jet vs. Droy vs. Alzack". They both question why the Fairy Tail Mages are fighting each other.

Ryouji : So it began...

Erza : What do you mean...

Ryouji : Laxus thinks in this game that he is the ultimate figure that is getting protected by his guardians...

Ryouji : So how does someone gets to fight them???

Violetta : Only someone who is deemed as worthy will be able to fight them, they are 4 while the Guild has over 100 members...

Ryouji : Therefore the first battle to select the elites of the Guild has begun...

Makarov : Laxus... What have you done...
