Chapter 179 The First Exam is Over (Ch 179)

Mirajane slowly flew in the direction she was facing and stopped above a pile of grass.
She landed, crouched down, and fished out a silver metal plate from the grass, with the Fairy Tail logo on it gleaming in the sun.
Mirajane raised the sign in her hand with a smile on her face, wiped it clean, and looked at it carefully left and right in the sun to make sure that the sign in her hand was the same as the one Noah had taken out before.
So she stood up and was about to fly when she heard the sound of a rapidly flying aircraft in the distance.
She quickly jumped up, flapped her wings behind her, and flew into the air.
In the distance, I saw Kongno flying quickly towards the guild camp, holding a familiar silver sign in his hand, which was the target sign for this exam.
Mirajane saw that Soroni had found the sign, and she became anxious. She quickly flapped her wings behind her and broke through the air to fly towards the guild camp.
The noise of the two people flying quickly in the air, one after the other, alarmed the other three people, and they all looked up in the direction of the noise.
I saw Sorono and Mirajane flying in the air one after the other, both heading towards the guild camp, and they were holding a metal plate shining with silver light in their hands, which seemed to be the target of the exam.
The expressions of the three of them tensed at the same time and they quickened their movements.
Sorono took off first. Although her flying speed was a little slower than Mirajane, she still arrived in front of Noah first and handed the sign in her hand to Noah.
Mirajane came to Noah later. After handing the sign to Noah, she looked at Sorono with an unconvinced look on her face.
Sorono looked at Mirajane smugly. Mirajane was obviously irritated by Sorono’s smile and wanted to hit her.
After Noah carefully checked the sign in his hand, he stopped them:
“You two both got your plaques back, both are pretty good. Sorano is first, with 5 points, and Mira is second, with 4 points.”
After hearing this, Sorono looked even more proud, while Mirajane looked unhappy. She was just a little bit slower and became the second place.
“Mira, you still have to keep working hard.”
Erza shook her head and said, and after Noah heard what Erza said, his body involuntarily moved a little to the side, and Sorono also moved a little.
When Mirajane heard Erza’s words, she jumped up and bumped into Erza:
“Erusa, who do you think you are!”
“You guys really need to keep working hard!”
“Don’t act like a senior, or I’ll beat you up, bastard!”
Then the two of them were ready to fight, and the guild members around them immediately stepped back and waited for them to start fighting.
Noah put away the sign in his hand, pressed one person’s head with one hand, separated the two people, and then said:
“Okay, if you want to fight, wait until the exam is over. Now let Mirajane rest for a while.”
The two stopped at the same time, and Mirajane looked at Erza and said:
“Let’s have a competition after the exam!”
“I’ll stick with you till the end!”
After saying that, Mirajane went to the side to rest, and Erza also calmed down.
Noah didn’t pay much attention to the commonplace scene in daily life. He looked at the screen in front of him again and saw Simon finding the sign and moving quickly towards the camp.
When Simon was about to approach the camp, Kana also found the sign, and she immediately flew into the air and flew towards this side.
Simon handed the sign in his hand to Noah. Noah checked it and nodded to Simon:
“You are the third one back, you get 3 points, go and take a rest first.”
Simon nodded and walked aside to recover the magic power and physical strength he had just consumed.
Then Kana fell from the sky. She handed the sign in her hand to Noah. After Noah checked it, he said to her:
“You are the fourth one back, you get 2 points, go and take a rest.”
“The fourth one, it seems that there is little hope of passing this time.”
“Then just treat it as seeing the strength of others and testing your own strength.”
Noah comforted Kana a little. After all, getting fourth place in the first exam really didn’t make it possible for her to get first place in the entire S-level exam.
Kana nodded and walked aside to rest.
Not long after, Leo also found the sign. He probably had already discovered that the other four had found the sign and had returned.
So he walked very slowly, and from the looks of him he was probably recovering the physical strength and magic power he had consumed during the previous search.
But no matter how slowly he walked, he had to get out eventually. When he came to Noah and handed over the sign in his hand, Noah checked it and said to him:
“You are fifth, you got 1 point, go over and take a rest, the second round of exam will start soon.”
“Fifth place, what are the others’ rankings?”
“Sora is first, Mirajane is second, Simon is third, and Cana is fourth.”
“They are really amazing, and they are also lucky.”
Leo still looked a little unconvinced, so Noah said:
“Luck is also a kind of strength. After all, luck is very important sometimes.”
Leo sighed and said:
“That’s right, I’ll go and rest first.”
Noah nodded, and Leo went aside to rest.
About half an hour later, Noah clapped his hands, called the five participants of the S-level exam to his front, and said to them:
“Now we are going to start the second round of exams. Following the past practice, the S-class exam will definitely involve facing the test of the current S-class wizard.
The current S-class wizard you will face this year is me.”
The five people already had a bad feeling when they saw Noah standing in front of them, and now their faces turned pale when they heard his words.
“That’s not right. Aren’t there many S-class wizards out there? Why are you here again?”
Sono pointed her finger at Noah and said tremblingly. Noah looked at her.
“Why, I can’t?”
“No, no, of course you can.”
Sorono waved his hands and said, Noah sighed:
“Uru, like Gildarts, went on some missions that take a long time to process and hasn’t come back yet. Laxus is also on a mission.
Ultear and Erza are not strong enough to suppress you, so Grandpa asked me to test you.”
After a pause, Noah smiled:
“And I’m also very interested in being able to beat you up openly.”
When the five people saw Noah’s smile, they all took a few steps back at the same time. Kong No said in a trembling voice:
“You won’t use heavy hands against us, will you?”
Noah couldn’t help but glare at her, scaring her so much that she took a few steps back, and then he said:
“I will control the strength, but you have to try your best, otherwise you will get seriously injured if you are not careful.”
When the five people heard this, their hearts tightened. This didn’t sound very good.
Before they could say anything, Noah waved his hand and took them to a venue that had been prepared.
The venue was very large, with three sides clearly equipped with magic spells for defense, except for the side facing the sea.
The five of them had their backs to the sea, while Noah was facing the sea.
“Be prepared.”
After hearing Noah’s words, they quickly calmed themselves down and adjusted their bodies and minds to a fighting state.
Noah saw that they were ready and said:
“The second S-level exam begins now!”
