Chapter 87

Era, Magic Council meeting hall,

Natsu, Jura, and Minerva appeared inside a room. There is a wide oval-shaped table in the middle of the room, four of the other saints were already gathered here, along with Gran Doma.

The saints who are already here are; Chairman of the Council, Gran Doma. The 1st Wizard Saint, Draculus Hyberion, the 2nd Wizard Saint, Wolfheim, the 7th Wizard Saint, Julius Mackers, and the newly appointed 10th Wizard Saint, Hibari Kyoya(KHR)

"Ah, master Dragneel, master Orl-...Milady, and Saint Jura, please take a seat, we are only waiting for saint Warrod, saint Aquabell, and saint Kylla before we begin."

The three nodded, Natsu sat beside Hyberion, Jura at the opposite side of Julius, and Minerva beside Kyoya.

"I'm happy for you young Natsu, your guild mates have returned safe and sound." Said Hyberion.

"Thank you Drac." Natsu replied with a smile. Then, his nose twitched as the door of the room opens, followed by the 3rd Wizard Saint, Warrod Sequen, walking in.

"Greetings Saint Warrod, please take your seat while we wait for others to arrive." Said Gran Doma.

"Hoh~hoh~! Greetings Gran Doma-san, apologies for my tardiness." said Warrod as he sat beside Wolfheim, "I was actually investigating before I made my way here, and I found out that there is a spy.."

Everyone tensed hearing this, they all looked towards Warrod who had no ounce of playfulness on his face, he was incredibly serious.

Only Natsu seems to just raised an eyebrow before taking a sip at the tea that was already prepared for them.

Warrod glanced at everyone in the room before he smirked, "Just kidding."

"Huh?!"

"The hell!?"

"I'll bite you to death!"

Wolfheim transformed to his beast form and grab Warrod as he lift him up. "Warrod! If you value your tongue then hold it from telling a joke! Else I will gladly rip it off of you!"

"Hoh~Hoh~Hoh~!" However, Warrod just laughed as Wolfheim clicked his tongue before returning to his dwarf form as he let go of Warrod before sitting down.

Then, the door once again opens as beautiful woman with green hair walks in. "Hello everyone, sorry if I'm late, I was taking care of my daughters."

"Its fine Saint Kylla, family is important. Now please take a seat, we only need to wait for saint Fiana to arrive." Said Gran Doma.

Kylla smiled before sitting at the opposite side of Kyoya Hibari.

"Huh? I didn't know you are married Kylla? Much less having a daughter." Asked a confused Natsu, though that explains why he can smell a man's scent coming from her which wasn't there before.

Kylla turned towards Natsu and tilted her head, "I didn't tell you didn't I? Well, I got married six years ago, and is now a mother of a six and three years old daughters."

"Oh~ Congratulations then." Said Natsu.

A few minutes later, the door once again opens, and Fiana walks in. She looked around the room, her eyes shined in joy when she saw Natsu, its been months since she last saw him.

However, one look from him and she already knew that now is not the time for reunion. She still have something to report, ans its very important.

---------------------------

Back at the arena, Gray was calmly walking around the 'city' following some copies, when suddenly-

"Carrot Missile!"

Gray easily dodged it, he then looked around and saw the girl from Mermaid Heel holding her hands forward.

"Eh? I missed?"

He did not waste any more time, he was about to attack when the girl, Beth, was suddenly electrocuted. He look behind him and saw some copies were hit.

[Beth -1]

He sweatdrop, however he quickly used his magic, "Ice make: Hammer!" An ice hammer appeared above the guy from Quarto Cerberus who he saw, was about to use his magic.

"ARG-!?"

[Jäger -2]

[Gray +2]

Gray smiled, he was damn sure that he is the first one to have two points. However, his eyes narrowed when he saw Lyon walking towards him with a smirk.

"Found you, Gray."

"...Lyon."

However, before the two of them could even make a move, a dark blast of energy exploded, causing the two of them to be blasted away.

The explosion was weak enough to not get any copies be hit by the explosion.

"AAAHH!"

On a rooftop, Mirajane was seen in her satan soul form, looking down with a devilish smirk. "Too easy."

[Lyon -1]

[Gray ↓+1]

[Mirajane +3]

Then, she jumped down and kicked the Raven Tail man to the ground, his head was buried there.

Seeing that, she nodded and went back to her normal form and resume walking. However, she didn't get to walk far when it suddenly began to snow.

'....I see, who ever casted this then will be able to tell if its real or not base on breaths. Quite a smart thinking, if it was me three months ago then perhaps, but now...'

She resumed walking with a smile, not even bothered by the coldness. She had experienced worse than this, a little bit of cold won't effect her.

At Gray, he was groaning as he layed down on the ground. 'Damn, Mira wasn't holding back at all, well, she's holding back but she didn't even hesitate to blast us away.'

He stood up and noticed the snow. Though he ignored it, he was used to cold, in fact he even find this temperature a bit warm.

He looked up and noticed an explosions not far from him, so he quickly ran towards it.

On top of a tower, Rufus waa standing there straight as he looked down at the city. "I have memorized it all, I remember everything perfectly. The nuances of your movements, your footprints, your magic signatures..I memorized it all."

He smiled, "Memory Make..."

"Night of Falling Stars!"

[Rufus +6]

Every single one of them was hit, Gray, Eve, Beth, Jäger, Lyon, as for Mira...

"Phew~ that was close." She sighed in relief and wiped an imaginary sweat, good thing her reflexes were better than before.

She looked up at the tower where Rufus was standing, deciding whether to attack him or not. 'He's just one guy, but a strong one. If I fought with him it will take too much time, I better just go beat up other participants.'

She transformed into her satan soul form and flew towards where the fight with other guilds were happening.

She glanced at the Raven Tail guy and decided to beat him up, she only needed three to win this event.

'Alright, let's start.'

A few minutes later....
