🕑 Added 2025-11-10 23:20:51 +0000 UTCTenrou Island!
"Time's up! Congratulations, everyone, on passing the first round of the exam!"
Makarov walked over with his hands behind his back and spoke to Kenichi, Natsu, and the others.
"Time's up? Gray hasn't arrived yet!"
Natsu glanced around and, not seeing Gray, said.
"He can't make it. Gray and Gajeel encountered Erza."
As he spoke, Makarov couldn't help but sigh inwardly: ‘Erza is too strict!’
‘But thankfully, Gildarts isn't that strict...’
Makarov knew Natsu had encountered Gildarts.
If Gildarts were as strict as Erza, Natsu probably... no, Natsu would definitely not have passed this first round.
Hearing Makarov's words, everyone understood that Gray had been eliminated.
Seeing the expressions on Natsu's, Wendy's, and the others' faces, Makarov continued:
"You don't need to feel sorry for Gray. Only one person will ultimately become an S-Class Mage!"
"Now, let me explain the content and rules of the second round!"
"The second round is simple: just find the grave of the First Master on the island, and you win!"
As soon as Makarov finished speaking, Natsu made a hook punch motion and said excitedly with a grin: "Looking for things? I'm good at that!"
"Then let's begin!"
Makarov said rather casually.
With Makarov's command, the teams of Natsu, Cana, Juvia, and the others all headed deeper into the island.
"Kenichi, Wendy, we're off first!"
Levy called out to Kenichi and Wendy, then chose a path and left with Lucy.
"Kenichi-nii, let's start searching quickly too!"
Seeing everyone had left, Wendy said to Kenichi.
"No rush."
Kenichi looked up at the sky and said.
"Hmm?"
Wendy followed Kenichi's gaze, but she couldn't see anything.
She then tilted her little head, looking puzzled.
‘Seeing how calm Kenichi-nii looks, he must have some good way to find the First Master's grave, right?’
Thinking this, Wendy felt relieved, and then she quietly sat down beside Kenichi.
After who knows how long, Kenichi suddenly stood up and said in a voice only he could hear: "They're here."
Kenichi didn't hesitate and immediately used Archive Magic.
At that moment, a golden virtual screen appeared in front of Kenichi.
"This is... that guy from Blue Pegasus's magic?"
Seeing the golden virtual screen in front of Kenichi, Wendy came closer and asked with curiosity.
"Correct!"
Kenichi answered Wendy.
This Archive Magic was exactly what Kenichi had collected from Hibiki of Blue Pegasus during the battle against the Oracion Seis.
"Erza, can you hear me?"
Kenichi casually manipulated the keyboard below the golden virtual screen and spoke.
At that moment, Erza, who was cooking with Mirajane somewhere on Tenrou Island, suddenly heard Kenichi's voice in her mind.
"Kenichi?"
Hearing Kenichi's voice, Erza immediately stopped what she was doing and replied uncertainly.
"It's me."
After getting Kenichi's confirmation, Erza was delighted.
‘It's my first time communicating telepathically with Kenichi. What should I say to him?’
Just as Erza was thinking this, Kenichi said: "Grimoire Heart is here. Inform everyone to prepare."
Although Kenichi said it casually, the moment Erza heard the name Grimoire Heart, her pretty face changed dramatically.
She naturally knew of the guild name Grimoire Heart.
Like the Oracion Seis, it was one of the three major dark guilds of the Balam Alliance.
Although Erza didn't know exactly how strong Grimoire Heart was overall, she knew how strong the Oracion Seis was.
In Erza's view, since Grimoire Heart and the Oracion Seis both belonged to the three major dark guilds of the Balam Alliance.
Then Grimoire Heart's strength was definitely not inferior to the Oracion Seis.
Remembering the terrifying strength of the Oracion Seis, Erza didn't dare to be careless at all.
After responding to Kenichi, she began notifying everyone.
"Erza?!"
Mirajane beside her, seeing the grave expression on Erza's face, asked a question.
"The enemy is here."
As she spoke, Erza directly launched the prepared signal flare.
Bang-
The moment the signal flare exploded, everyone on Tenrou Island saw it.
"This is..."
"A signal flare!"
"Has an enemy arrived?"
Seeing the signal flare, even Makarov was extremely surprised.
After all, the location of Tenrou Island was not something ordinary people knew.
"Kenichi-nii..."
Wendy looked at the signal flare in the sky, her small face full of gravity.
"Members of Grimoire Heart have infiltrated. Let's go meet them."
Kenichi said to Wendy, then walked towards a specific area ahead.
At this moment, in Kenichi's perception, three unfamiliar magical reactions had entered Tenrou Island.
Of these three magical powers, two were quite ordinary.
But the last one was very large, not inferior to that of an average Wizard Saint.
Kenichi knew that the owner of this magical reaction must be Azuma, one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory of Grimoire Heart.
Kenichi had no intention of paying attention to the two ordinary magical reactions.
He headed directly towards the large magical reaction.
Although among the Seven Kin of Purgatory, Kenichi was most interested in Rustyrose, the user of Arc of Embodiment.
Azuma's [Great Tree Arc] was also very strong.
Since Rustyrose hadn't arrived on Tenrou Island yet, Kenichi decided to go meet this Azuma first and take the opportunity to collect The Great Tree Arc magic attribute.
As Kenichi and Wendy were traveling, a person suddenly emerged from a large tree in front of Gajeel and Gray.
"Enemy?"
Seeing the stranger suddenly appear, the expressions of Gajeel and Gray changed immediately, and they entered a combat-ready stance.
After all, they had just seen the signal flare for an enemy invasion.
Although they saw the signal flare, Gajeel and Gray didn't know the identity of the enemy.
Looking at the person in front of them, Gajeel asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The newcomer cooperated. Upon hearing Gajeel's question, he directly answered: "Azuma of Grimoire Heart."
‘Grimoire Heart!’
Like Erza, the moment they heard the name Grimoire Heart, both Gajeel and Gray were startled.
"What is your purpose?"
"To destroy Fairy Tail!"
As soon as Azuma finished speaking, the area where Gray and Gajeel were standing exploded.
