A Certain Fairy Tail: The Illusion Slayer

Racing and forgotten reminiscing

3rd person POV:

One after another the S-class teams arrive, having learned something.

Levy and Gajeel were first, Touma and Cana with their partners tied second which the ladder really didn't like, especially since he went up against Guildarts.

Gray and Juvia cane in third, followed by Elfman and Wendy.

Gajeel: Looks like we'll have an easier time now that everyone's exhausted from their fights.

Levy: Hey, Misaki, how was your battle?

Misaki: Didn't have one. We got the safe path.

Levy:?

Levy: No, we got the safe path-

Makarov: Heheh... Very good...

The master interrupted.

Makarov: Your next task is to find the grave of the first master.

Makarov: The first three to do so, will get into the final round.

Makarov: You have until sundown.

Gray: Where is the grave?

Makarov: That's for you to find out.

Makarov: GO!

With no time to rest, the wizards dash off to try and claim victory.

Makarov: Hehe... This is fun.

Mirajane, Erza, and Guildarts then approached the master.

Makarov:?

Makarov: Where's Mystogan?

(Opening theme)

Cana:(mind) Touma got passed, by Guildarts no less...

Cana:(mind) That bastard is probably swooning over how proud he is of Touma.

Cana: Tch...

Cana:(mind) Why am I even doing this? I don't need him, never had!

Cana: Tch...

Misaki: Stop making excuses. Or I'll tell Guildarts right now who you are to him!

Cana:!!

Misaki: You're thoughts are so loud, I can easily read them.

Cana:...

Misaki: I understand that you're having a hard time trying to tell Guildarts the truth.

Misaki: And I get that you might be jealous of Touma...

Misaki: But don't blame either one. Because if they knew, they wouldn't cast you aside.

Cana:... Let's move on.

Misaki:(mind) Jeez....she's pretty stubborn. Maybe if I get her drunk-

Misaki:(mind) What am I thinking... Where would I get enough alcohol to get Fairy Tail's heaviest drinker, drunk!?

Meanwhile, as they traveled around the island, though separately, Wendy and Gajeel felt a familiar presence.

It was so familiar, that when they first arrived on tbe Island they didn't even notice it.

Only when they thought about it, was when they realize they had no clue what this feeling of familiarity was.

Touma, was completely oblivious to this presence as he wandered around with no idea where the grave was.
