S-Class Dragon Slayer

Chapter 29

"Now, will each teams participant in the Hidden Game kindly stepped forward?" the pumpkin man asked and Selena, Gray, and the rest of the contenders stepped forward.

"There are two questions on everyone's minds," Chapati said. "First and foremost, just what kind of game will Hidden be? And who would you say is the favorite in this mysterious competition?"

"Hm... It's safe to assume that Rufus of Sabertooth is probably the odds on favor," Yajima replied. "But Gray and Selena from Fairy Tail are dark horses in the running."

"Let's ask today's special guest, Miss Jenny from Blue Pegasus."

"My fave? I'll be rooting for Eve of course. He's got this is the bag."

"Okay, Gray. Don't be expectin' me to go easy. I want to win," Selena said.

"I know. I won't be going easy either."

"I'm not worried. Your attacks won't effect me." 

"My mind is set on winning the competition as well. And win Juvia's heart," Lyon said and Selena sweat dropped.

"If she were down here, I think she'd be getting a taste of her own medicine. By the way, if she asks, we're not dating. She kept annoying me so I told her we were and then I said we weren't. She doesn't believe me though. Sheesh. She especially hates the fact that we've kissed, but that was only because Natsu pushed me into you."

"You guys told her about that?!" Gray asked.

"You can thank Laxus for that one. He's still laughing about that incident."

"Now she won't ever leave me alone."

"Well, good luck with that," she replied with a devious grin.

"You know, before we start, I've got one question I've been dyin' to ask. What are you?" Gray asked the pumpkin, Mato.

"Uh... Who? Me? My silly boy, I'm a pumpkin as you can plainly see."

"Sorry, was I not supposed to ask you that?"

"I don't think pumpkins have arms and legs," Selena replied, crouching down and pulling on his arm. She let go and stood back up.

"What's inside there?"

"He's always been a big part of the Games, so I guess I never really thought about it," Eve said and Selena sighed.

"Of course no one would bother to ask," she mumbled.

"Good job, sir. You created an excellent character," Eve and Beth said bowing to him.

"Thank you, but I'm really only doing this because it's so funkin!" 

"Those bad puns are gonna get old real quick," Gray said and Selena nodded in agreement as Nalpudding stepped forward.

"Before we start, I got a little problem, see? I don't know exactly what this Hidden game is all about, but I think somethin' stinks around here," he said and Selena narrowed his eyes at the short purple guy. "And that somethin' being that there's two Fairy twerps competing in this thing. No other guild is gonna get the chance to have two members in each round, so I say they got an unfair advantage."

"One problem, no one here cares about what you say," Riley spoke up and Selena grinned. "No one here is complainin'. If it's such a big deal, your team should have entered two teams and maybe you would have got the honor." She put her hands on her hips and winked over to Selena.

"I have no qualms with it," Rufus said. "In fact, I remember something that I once heard. A wise man told me two heads are not necessarily better than one." Selena glared at him and Riley let out a small growl.
