Chapter 69
After the battle, the two of them finally met.
That night, after Laxus returned, he didn't know what he said to Makarov. Perhaps the two had a heart-to-heart talk, and the relationship between them was no longer as stiff as before.
Afterwards, Laxus took a commission and went out to work, all for the S-level upgrade exam in December.
I heard that the old man had written to Gildarts, asking him to come back as the chief examiner, and of course, Ulu was among them.
Seeing such a lineup, Leila felt very headache. Ulu was still easy to deal with, and he should let it go in the process, but Gildarts was not easy to fool, not to mention that he was still thinking about Leila's magic.
So, Leila made up her mind and started to play badly. She would not take the exam this time. When Laxus comes online next year, things will be much easier.
The guild stipulates that the S-level exam must first examine the ability of the members, and secondly the difficulty and number of commissions received in the past year. Both of these must be met before they can take the upgrade exam.
So Leila stayed in the guild for two months and did nothing. The people in the guild did not react to this. After all, Leila's strength is obvious to all.
They were not discouraged. They were all working hard to get on the exam list.
As the exam approached, Gildarts finally came back. After coming back, he first went to stick with Kana. The two had not seen each other for a long time. Gildarts played with Kana for a few days.
During this period, Gildarts heard about Ivan and talked to Laxus about it. In the end, no one knew what he said, but Gildarts was very satisfied with him.
After that, it was business. Makarov and the other two discussed the list and content of the S-level exam five days in advance, and finally finalized the plan and arranged the necessary things for the exam.
In the guild, Makarov, wearing the white robe with the "Holy Ten" logo, stood solemnly on the stage, Gildarts and Ulu stood beside him, and the whole guild was waiting for this moment.
"Now let's start announcing the list of candidates for the X778 S-level upgrade exam. There are two candidates for this exam, Laxus Dolea and Laila Sloane!"
"We didn't get selected again this time." Makao and Wakaba squatted on the ground in despair, but they quickly adjusted themselves and looked at Laila and Laxus with envy and emotion in their eyes.
The other members of the guild looked as if it was a matter of course. Although Laila didn't do much, it was because she was lazy. The commissions that Laila completed were all difficult.
What's more, even Laxus regarded him as an opponent. They were waiting for this S-class exam to see who would become an S-class wizard first.
However, one person was quite surprised. "What? Old man, are you sure?" Leila asked with her mouth wide open in disbelief.
When Leila heard Makarov say that there were two people on the exam list, she was still thinking about who that person would be. After thinking about it, she still didn't know who it was. Erza and Mira were only thirteen years old. How could it be possible?
Who knew it would be him! He could never have thought that he was ready to lie down and give up, and it would be his turn without completing the task.
"That's right, you and Laxus will meet in Hargeon, and then go to Tenrou Island to prepare for the exam. I'll tell you the content of the exam when I get it." Makarov looked at Leila's look, and his heart was like a mirror, knowing that this kid must have done it on purpose, wanting to be lazy and not participate in this S-class exam.
He had originally thought of not letting Leila take the S-class exam. Leila had indeed not done enough commissions. If she passed the exam and reported the information to the Council, it might get stuck. However, Leila's demon commission was well evaluated, so it shouldn't be a problem.
The most important thing is to give Leila a warning. How can she be so leisurely when she is lazy and doesn't work all day? I heard that he was more interested in S-class commissions before, so let him become an S-class wizard later.
He has to deal with so many things all day long, and he can only drink a little wine to relieve fatigue, but Leila is doing nothing in the guild all day.
Later, I thought carefully, the examiner of this S-class exam is the strongest one! If Laxus passed the exam, wouldn't Laxus be the examiner in the future, and Leila would be relieved? No, this must not be done. Leila must be there this year!
"Leila, you can't hide, let's see who will become an S-class wizard first." Laxus stared at
Leila, with a playful smile in her eyes, obviously, Leila's defeat made him feel extremely happy.
"Don't cry when the time comes!" Leila had no choice but to accept the fact. Seeing Laxus' provocation, she also made a harsh remark.
"Lila, come on, I believe in you." Mira stood aside and said softly.
"Well, thank you." Leila smiled slightly and nodded.
"Lila, why don't you place a teleportation array on Tenrou Island?" Ultiya asked curiously with a puzzled look on her face.
"Well, the old man came to me before, and I went to see it. There was a barrier set up on the island, and I can't handle that barrier." Leila couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Makarov asked the two to meet in Hargeon. Laxus set off for Hargeon early, and Leila took the train slowly. After arriving, they took the guild's special ship to Tenrou Island together.
On the boat, four people were sitting on the deck, with a parasol in the middle. Leila took out cold drinks from the space and handed them to the three people, enjoying the sun bath.
Although it is December now, the ocean currents have brought all the heat, so that the temperature of this sea is equivalent to that of summer.
As for why there are four people, because Laxus hid in the lounge early, the physique of the dragon slayer wizard began to show. Leila wanted to take pictures and record it, but Laxus didn't give her the chance.
After several people enjoyed it, Wulu stood up and looked at the island getting closer and closer in the distance. She couldn't help but sigh. Although she had seen it once, she could still intuitively feel that the uniqueness of Tianlang Island was worthy of being the holy land of Fairy Tail.
After docking, several people got off the boat and finally arrived on the island. Wulu only felt a stream of magic flowing in her body like a spring, and her body and mind relaxed. Wulu had only come twice, once a few days ago to arrange things, and then this time.
Previously, her S-level exam was just a formality and she passed it easily. In the following years, since the guild members could not meet the requirements, the S-level exam was not held again, which also shows the strictness of the examination.
"What about this exam, huh?" Makarov coughed twice and was about to introduce the matters of this exam, but found that one person was missing.
Makarov looked embarrassed and said, "Lila, go and bring Laxus down."
"Oh no, I forgot about him."
Laila teleported directly to the lounge in the cabin. Laxus was lying on the bed and everyone had forgotten about him.
Laxus knew that this exam would be held on Tianlang Island, so he knew that he was doomed. He hid in the lounge as soon as he got on the ship.
If it weren't for the S-level exam, he would not take the boat and go directly with magic, but this time the examiner and the opponent were not easy to deal with, so he couldn't consume too much magic power.
"Laxus, we're here." Leila patted Laxus and woke him up.
"Yeah." Laxus opened his eyes with difficulty and said in a daze.
Then he slowly stood up. Before he could stand firmly, the surrounding environment changed in an instant and he was already on the island.
"Okay, everyone is here. Now I will start to introduce the rules of this exam!" Makarov began to announce when he saw that they were ready.
