Beauty and/or Beast

Day three went on without any big battles, well that was until Laxus avenged the Fairy Tail name. He was paired up against one of Ravin Tails' members, which ultimately ended in them getting disqualified. It shocked the crowd, but it surprised us more. They were cheating during the fight with Laxus. That said, they were out of the games, getting off our trail. As for our rank in the games, yeah we don't need to talk about that.

Day four though started with a beautiful morning, with the sun shining bright and more audience members cheering for Fairy Tail. Master smiled at the support, happy that people are leaning towards Fairy Tail now. 

"I wonder what today brings," Natsu sighs. "I think I am due for a fight."

"You always say that," Lucy sighs, waving off the pink-haired dragon slayer.

"Good Morning everyone!" The announcer greets the crowd. "Today we have something special for you; The Naval battle. What is it you may ask? Well, it is where a participant of each team enters a large water sphere and attempts to push the other players out. With that being said, when two participants are left in the sphere, a five-minute timer will start, and whoever is knocked out within the time limit automatically gets last place. So teams, choose your opponents now. I will give you ten minutes to choose your opponent and change into swimsuits."

"So?" Gray asks us.

"I think Lucy should do so, she has Aquarius," Natsu shrugs.

"What about Erza?" 

"I personally think (Y/n) should do it," Erza nods in my direction.

"What?" I ask.

"Me too," Lucy smiles.

"I haven't trained my magic in water, I don't know," I warn the group.

"Think of it as a trial run," Gray places a hand on my shoulder. "It's a way for you to test out your skills for the future, and because we are all dying to know."

"And if I lose?"

"We continue climbing our way back up to the number one spot," Natsu smiles. "0 points? Easy. 100 points? A piece of cake."

"Okay, let me go change."

I jump into the sphere of water, taking note that I could thankfully breathe. Watching the other people jump into the water I think about how I don't know anyone's magic power. Well beside Juvia, I smile at her as I see her join me in the sphere. Once all the competitors entered the sphere a buzzer went off, meaning it was game time. 

"Looks like I will get this party started," Juvia grins, rubbing her hands together.

Erzas Pov-

I cross my arms as I watch Juvia throw the first punch. It was a water blast pointed right at (Y/n). Gray stands up, "Why is she fighting (Y/n)? Shouldn't they be working together?"

(Y/n) swims to avoid the blast, thankfully. I let out a sigh of relief as Juvia hits the member of Quatro puppy out of the sphere. A few crowd members boo, while everyone else cheers. It is an all-female battle now.

"My rival!" Juvia shouts at the confused (hair color).

Juvia throws another funnel of water in her direction, causing (Y/n) to swim around once again. I hum, "Why isn't she using magic."

"She knows we all want to know her magic," Natsu responds. "Keeping us all on the edge of our seats." 

A gasp escapes my lips as (Y/n) uses the cover from Juvias's water blast to close the distance between the two. Juvia shouts in pain as (Y/n) punches Juvia, which causes the water mage to stumble around the sphere.
