Chapter 141: Collaboration for One’s Own Part (Ch 141)

Elfman looked at Mira and asked in confusion: “Sister, are you going to participate this year? But what about your magic power?”

“Oh, of course, it’s because of someone’s help that my magic power is back.”

Elfman broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of his sister’s attitude.

Lucy was surprised and said: “Hey, Miss Mira can also fight?!”

Happy explained: “Of course you can. Mira is a demon as famous as Erza. She is a very powerful wizard.”

Gray suddenly felt like the sky was falling: “Ahhhh!! This year’s S-rank seems so harsh! Erza alone is already a headache, why does Mira have to participate too!?”

A very bad idea suddenly came to Elfman’s mind, and then he looked at Gildarts.

“Uncle, you’re not going to participate too, are you?”

Everyone taking the exam looked at Gildarts.

Gildarts gave a sinister smile: “Of course.”

“Not only me, Ye Yang will also participate.”

“Eh——!!!”

The three cats looked at Ye Yang in horror: “Boss, you? Why do you want to participate too? How can we survive? Is this S-level assessment so exaggerated?!”

Lucy wondered, “Can’t I become S-class if I don’t defeat an S-class wizard?!”

Happy: “How is that possible? If you need to defeat an S-rank to become one, my boss was in charge of it in the past few years. Do you think anyone can defeat him?”

“Well…it seems so…”

Ye Yang said earnestly: “These are all things you must go through. Look, Erza, Mira, Laxus, and Mistgang all got S-rank from me.”

“What’s so difficult about this?”

“If you have time to complain here, why not go find your teammates instead.”

“Alright everyone, you can all go down and get ready. We will depart from Harugeon Port on time next week.”

“Ooooooh!”

Then some people who didn’t hear their names started to get frustrated.

Arzak said in frustration: “I still didn’t get selected this year.”

Bisca comforted him, “It won’t work this year, we can just try harder next year.”

Ergou also looked disappointed, and Sanmao hooked his arm around Ergou’s shoulders.

“It’s okay, Ergou. You just need to assist me and help me get S-rank. I will take you to do S-rank missions every day and I will never abandon you like the boss did!”

Then everyone in the guild started discussing who would become an S-class wizard this year.

“I think Fide, the Thunder Gods are still very powerful.”

“Mestre is it, he’s just that little bit short.”

“I think Natsu and Gray are both very promising.”

“Sanmao was trained by Ye Yang. If he teams up with Ergou, those guys may not be his match.”

Ever since Gajeel heard Juvia’s name on the S-rank list, he felt a little excited, imagining that his name would be called out as well.

But until the end, I never heard my own name.

“Why? Even Juvia is there, but not me? I was the ace in the Phantom Flame, okay?!”

Lili then said: “It’s a pity that your name is not on the list, but I heard that your reputation in this guild is not very good.”

Gajeel was about to explain: “Ah no, this…..Oh! There are many reasons but I can’t tell you, but I really want to tell you.”

“ah–!!”

“Who told you these things?”

“He told me that last time he sparred with Erza.”

Gajeel looked like he had lost all hope in life.

Mainly because Gajeel is a double agent, Makarov did not select him into the S-level list.

Then Natsu and his group sat in their seats and discussed what to do.

Lucy asked: “Natsu, who are you going to find as your partner?”

“Hahaha, of course it’s a harpy!”

“Love! I will make Natsu an S-rank!”

Elfman: “So cunning! If the test is about speed, you will definitely win.”

Gray attacked: “Similarly, if it is a combat harpy, it will be useless.”

Happy felt lost after hearing what Gray said.

Then Natsu took Happy straight to training.

“Train! Train! Become S-rank!”

“like!”

At this time, Juvia was lying on the table with a lost look on his face.

Lisanna asked, “Juvia, what’s wrong with you?”

“Hmm~ Actually, I don’t really want to take this exam.”

“Eh? Why?”

“Because I want to be in a group with Gray-sama, and I can’t be with Gray-sama when I take the exam.”

Gray shook his head: “Sorry, even if you were not selected, I would not partner with you, because my partner was chosen a long time ago.”

Juvia suddenly became anxious: “Huh?! How could this happen? Who is trying to steal Gray-sama from me?!”

At this moment, Lucy’s key flashed golden light, and Leo walked out.

“It’s me!”

Lucy looked shocked because she didn’t summon Leoreo at all but appeared on her own.

“You really do whatever you want.”

“Hey, sorry Lucy, I’m going to cut off contact between us for a while, because Gray and I already agreed that if he is selected into the S-rank, I will be his partner, and vice versa.”

“But don’t worry, I won’t take up your magic power.”

Lucy was immediately disappointed: “How could this happen? I’m going to lose my strongest fighting force.”

“Also, when did the relationship between you two become so good? Why didn’t I notice it before?”

Juvia’s tears immediately flowed down.

“Wow, Juvia never thought that it wasn’t Lucy who took Gray-sama away, but Lucy’s Celestial Spirit!”

Lucy said helplessly: “What does this have to do with me? I was also the one who was backstabbed.”

“Wow, since I can’t fight with Gray-sama in the thick of it, I can only cheer for him together.”

At this time, Lisanna said: “How about I be your partner, Juvia?”

Juvia looked at Lisanna with tears in her eyes.

“Hmm? Are you, a little girl, going to snatch Gray-sama from me?”

Lucy: (ᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌) “How dark is your heart!”

Lisanna shook her head. “I had a very good relationship with Juvia when I was in Edlas, so I want to help you become S-rank.”

Elfman was unhappy when he heard this.

“What! What should I do? I was thinking that you, Lisanna, would go with me!”

Lisanna looked at Elfman with an apologetic look on her face.

“I’m sorry, Elfman, but there’s someone over there looking at you with burning eyes~”

Then everyone looked towards the bar, where Alba Green was staring at Elfman.

Elfman was shocked by what he saw.
