A Demons Fairy Tail

Chapter 35 Treasure hunt Part 1

Eight hours since Natsu and Lucy's conversations, the bell started to ring waking the people (who weren't already up) up, which many weren't happy about. Sooner or later everyone had made their way down to the cafeteria where everyone was having breakfast of some sort. Then there was Natsu who wasn't eating whatsoever even though he was forced to sit at the table with everyone else.
"Come on Natsu-san you have to eat something, even if it's small like this grape" Wendy tried to give the demon the grape but he wasn't having it.

"What happened to eating all that ice cream back at the market, you seemed to enjoy that if I remember correctly" Gray said shoving down a piece of toast. Natsu only have him a funny look and sat his head on the table then just as quickly Erza yanked it off, he honestly thought his neck would break

"I thought you were royalty, I'm sure that they didn't teach you to put your heads on tables, especially when other people are eating" she said, letting go of him

"I'm pretty sure that your the only one who actually regards me as royalty, besides I never actually ate with anyone else sometimes I would with Zeref around but even that was quite rare. I usually eat when I'm alone" he said, Erza bonking him on the head "what was that for?" He rubbed the spot where she just bonked

"No reason, but is there a reason for not eating with others, besides ice cream?" She asked. Natsu didn't respond instead he just looked down, avoiding eye contact with anyone "I understand" she simply said while everyone else was confused but decided against pushing the matter further. Once everyone had finished their breakfast they were escorted towards the arena, for the next event. Each guild sat down in their spots and awaited for Jura to speak up. It took him awhile but he finally arrived in the stands. He and the guild masters stood up readying to speak
"A good morning to all of you, I do hope that you have a relaxing first night on Carousel island and I would apologise for any inconvenience that it may have on any of you, if you did have any inconvenience please take it up with the guild masters or myself" pause "day two of the competition and it is quite exciting so far if I do say so myself. The first event had quite a surprising ending" he started laughing, at this point of time people were thinking on how similar he was to Gildarts. Just thinking about that everyone was sweat dropping and looking at Gildarts who was also laughing.
"The next event is quite different than the last one since it's going to be a treasure hunt" most of the crowd got excited about hearing this "somewhere on the island is a flag just like the one sir Bob is holding" the flag in question was red with a symbol of all the guilds who are competing on it. "Each guild will send two people to go retrieve it, sound simple well once again you'd be wrong. One out of the two people that decide to play are going to be blindfolded leaving it to the other person to help them navigate. For this event you will be given a time limit of 10 hours. You have five minutes to pick your competitors however, if nobody manages to find the flag every guild will loose a point, good luck" with that the guild masters returned to their stands and the mages started arguing on who would compete this event.
"I think that Rogue and I should go, it's the most obvious choice since we're Dragon Slayers we could just sniff it out" Sting said waving his hands around like an idiot

"We can't "sniff" it out we're not dogs you know, besides even if we could we'd need to have it's scent"
'I guess that would class us as dogs' Rogue said and thought, he honestly wasn't sure on were sting gets all of his energy from. Just thinking about it exhausts him

"And after watching the last event I'm sooooo pumped up" Sting added with stars in his eyes causing his guild mates to sweat drop. They knew that he wouldn't change his mind so they just accepted that him and Rogue would participate in this event. Blue Pegasus was going to be sending in Hibiki and Eve. It's was decided that from Lamia Scale, Sherry and Yuka would be going. They thought that Sherry's Doll Magic would be handy in the terrain and Yuka just volunteered just because "why not" he said.
"I'll go" Gray said earning a nod from Erza. She knew that Gray had grown up around different places and was familiar with different environments

"Very well but who's going with you?" Erza said 

"How *hic about I *hic go" Cana said while drinking her booze

"How about no!" Gray practically yelled, causing Dragon Slayers to flinch.

"Why don't Laxus or Gildarts have a try, it might be fun" Erza said looking toward the two

"No thanks, I'll let the youngsters have fun" Gildarts said and Laxus just shrugged it off, ignoring her. "Why not young Lucy or Wendy I'm sure that they'd have fun with a nice sexy man such a Gray" Gildarts said earning himself disgusted looks from everyone and Lucy and Wendy were more red than tomatoes and were denying everything. Wendy honestly didn't want to compete because she thought that she'd had let everyone down in the race.

"Would you guys hurry up, seriously it shouldn't take so long to pick someone. Though if you want my opinion you should pick someone with navigational skills, and someone who doesn't exactly mind being blind. Do you understand what I'm saying" Natsu said as he was sitting on a chair playing with a puzzle cube. Laxus walked over to him and took his cube away and threw it over the railing down to the stadium floor.
'How immature' he thought

"I'm guessing that you have reasonable navigation skills, and I am also certain that you can tolerate being blind for 10 hours, so thanks for volunteering" Laxus said grinning away like he usually does. Natsu on the other hand wasn't to impressed with the idea of being in someone's care. He hated it.

"I competed yesterday so I'm not competing today" Well that's what he wanted but minutes later he was on the bottom of the stadium with Gray. "How the hell did it come to this" he sighed. Gray patted him on the back which startled Natsu. After a while all of the competitors were in the centre of the stadium awaiting further instructions from the Wizard Saint which he appeared seconds later and explained the rules for this event. He had said that the competitors would be starting on the beach, and that there ten hours would start when the horn went off. Since this was a treasure hunt there was to be no fighting however, they would be able to use magic to help them in any way possible. He also said that he'd make it difficult for them by placing fake flags around, the flags in question would be green instead of red.

Currently they were all at the beach awaiting for the horn to go off. Each team member was putting the blindfold in the other. Gray was putting it on Natsu, Sting was putting it on Rogue, Yuka was putting it on Sherry, and Hibiki was putting it on Eve. Despite Gray having trouble putting it on the demon he managed eventually and was trying to tell him that it wasn't all that bad, but Natsu wasn't having it. Then the horn went off startling everyone, and causing the Dragon Slayers to flinch and cover their ears. Everyone went off in different directions leading the blinded ones into the forest. Their ten hours started now.
