The Silent One

Chapter 12

"Welcome back to Day 3 of the Grand Magic Games!"

Cheers filled the crowd as Chaptai, Yajima, and someone looking professional appeared to the screen above us, as I heard from the others, was called a Lacrima.

"Our guest commentator today is from the Magic Council: Lahar!"

"I'm pleased to be here." The man with glasses said.

"Lahar, I heard you are the Captain of the Council's Arrest-and-Custody Diversion."

"Yes... we will permit no injustice during the games."

Looking around the stadium since I was bored of the commentator's side conversation, my eyes caught someone else eyes, whose own had to widen.

He had a scar running across the right side of his face, looking a bit familiar.

"Today's main event is Pandemonium! As usual, one member of each guild will participate!"

As the lacrima display, the chosen ones from each guild, Shinazugawa, and Obanai were fighting over who should go.

"No, you and your stupid snake won't be able to handle such shit!"

"Says the no eyebrow one!"

In the end, I slam their heads together, and we agreed that Giyuu would participate in the round.

As all 9 people made their way to the pumpkin man, he started explaining the rules of the round, starting it off with apologizing for being gone yesterday.

Looking at all the D-class to the S-rank monsters, they all looked so aggressive, yet weak.

Wonder if they got brains like demons.

As the contestants asked their questions, I stood up and threw Giyuu's katana at him, which he caught with his hands.

Smirking inside, I sat back down, and watch everyone down there pick a stick from the box in the pumpkin's hand.

Erza was saying things that nobody could hear, had spoken out:

"I will take on all 100 monsters..."

Smirking, saying her number clearly.

"I choose the number 100!"

Gasps filled Domus Flau as people were commenting on the girl's choice.

Somehow, I had a feeling she would be fine, although I know almost nothing about her.

"I-impossible! It's set up so that they'll massacre a single wizard!"

"So be it." the armored woman said, making her way into the dark castle.

Watching her fight against all those monsters, was enchanting.

As she had sustain wounds that were piling up against her skin, the fairy she is should've fallen, instead, she kept dancing.

As she had destroyed the S-class monster with her outfit shredded into pieces, people were watching in amazement, shock, and bliss.

As she raised her right arm that held her katana, symbolling her victory against all 100 monsters, I could only think of 1 thing:

She was like a beautiful scarlet flower in full bloom.

"I-I don't believe my eyes! All alone, she vanished all 100 monsters. She has cleared the entire palace! Is this the true power of the guild that, 7 years ago, was known as the strongest in the land?!"

As Chaptai and Lahar continued saying about Erza's victory, I watched her team run down to her, hugging her, along with Cana.

Fairy Tail's guild was cheering for her, and all 5 of the Fairies had their eyes connected with mine, trying to telepathically send me a message I often saw in my previous comrade's eyes.
