Fairy 10 Omni mage

Chapter 23: 24 hour endurance race

Explosions were going off in the sky, it was currently Fairy Tail's 24 hours endurance road race. A sporting event where the Wizards of Fairy Tail have to race around for a whole day.

Currently Ben was in the crowd of people waiting for the race to get started. "Today's a race, alright can't wait to exert my powers to the limit, if I don't I'd probably just get bored" he said stretching himself out.

"Aahhhh now I'm ready" Cana said after downing a whole barrel of liquor. "Woah you downed it, how are you going to compete?" Lucy asked. "What you'd actually expect me to run on an empty stomach so you?" She asked.

"Just do you're thing Cana, we all have routines we do before a competition" Ben said patting her on the back as good luck. "Hey thanks" she said slapping him on the rear earning a surprised yelp. "Geeze" he groaned.

"Cana just doesn't want to go through the punishment game, the last time I had nightmares" Happy said "wha? Punishment game.. this isn't what I signed up for!!" Lucy shouted.

"Listen up" Makorov's voice yelled, "all wizards know that without the proper balance of intelligence and physical endurance they are doomed to failure" he said. "Over The next 24 hours you'll be using those attributes against each other".

"A real man never uses his brain" Elfman said "yeah physical strength is all that matters in a race like this" Gray added. Ben bopped them both on the head he size of Humungosaur.

A/N: just a little heads up audience you probably didn't know this but Ben actually gains both the size and muscle mass of Humungosaur when he uses that alien's power in human form. It's the same for Four arms and Rath, he also gains their muscle appearance. So to put it into visual, picture Ben as big as Humongousaur and as muscular as him. His head and other body parts are in the same perspective size.

"Not cool guys brains are just as important as brawn" he said, "oh please this is a race you just need to put strength into it" Elfman said. "You also have to think of hazards like slippery terrain, spiky road hazards, road crossing bystanders, and also booby traps" he said.

"Ben's right, this race will also test your observation skills with hazards on the race track to figure out ways to avoid them" Makorov added. "What we gotta think while running? that isn't racing" Natsu said. Ben back handed him, "knock it off" he said,

"Any ways the rules are very simple, from the starting line each of you will make your way through a pre determined course, ending at mount eyegore. The summits been peppered with heavy wyvern scales, you are to grab one and bring it back. Once you bring it across the finish line you've completed the race and you've proven yourself a worthy member of Fairy Tail" he said.

"Never forget forfeiting is not an option for any of you, Fairy Tail wizards pride themselves on their willingness to go that extra mile". He ended up saying that flying magic is forbidden, this made Happy and Evergreen groan.

"And whoever is unfortunate enough to come in last you'll be subjected to the worst punishment game I've ever devised" he added, they all froze. "What's with Gramps and the punishment games, I know the old man's a perv but still" Ben said.

"Man I think he only puts up these things for the punishment game" Macao said. "Last year's was beyond sadistic" Alzac added, "quit complaining you sissies it's embarrassing" Gajeel retorted.
