FROM HIS TO HER SURPRISE II BOOK 2

4 :- CONTEST BEGINS

After one week
Start of Valentine's Week Contest

JUVIA'S POV

It's been a week since Jellal-san proposed Erza-san. I'm happy for them. Yeah, both of them deserves this.

Seeing this pleasant event in their life, I feel kind of sad, doubting whether even our relationship will reach the next stage.

And moreover, if he finds out about my condition how will he react. 'Will he leave me??'.

The very thought of Gray-sama leaving my side after all this while, brings tears to my eyes. My silent cries have been going on for a week now.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door. I wiped my tears and went to attend the door.

'Ohh, its you guys. Come in.' I gave them my fake smile. They seemed worried.

'Juvia, we know what's your problem? Please don't be like this. It's not good for your health especially at this condition.' Levy-san consoled me and pulled into a hug.

'Don't worry Juvia. As I told you, Gray is not that type of guy to leave his responsibilities unattended.He will be delighted to know this news.

Believe me, he will be the happiest person and will never leave you for this reason.' Erza-san patted my shoulder and lifted my confidence.

'Come Juvia-san, be happy. Today is the day which our guild has being waiting for. Go get changed.' Wendy-chan said with a smile for which Carla nodded.

After 30 minutes, at the guild

'boom.......boom.....' The sound of the crackers filled the ground behind the guild.

The place was occupied by many spectators who came to watch the Fairytail members perform in their guild's contest.

A central stage was setup and to the left side, the judge's panel was also setup and few lacrima vision screens.

The contest was hosted by Max Alris and Cana Alberona who were dressed up for this occasion.

'Welcome one and all to the guild's first ever "Valentine's Week Contest". This event is conducted in order to liven up our members in the department of romance.' Cana welcomed the spectators.

M:- 'As it is an whole week event, each day we will get to see new games where our participants take part and try to win. Don't forget at the end of the one or two pairs will be eliminate.'

C:- 'So let's introduce our Judges panel, our guild master Makarov; our ace member Gildarts Clive and our guest judge for today, Ichiya from Blue Pegasus.'

'Now our 9 pairs be assembled in front of a magic chamber. They have to pick up the slot and enter the chamber. The first 7 pairs who make it to the other end will proceed to tomorrow's contest.

Let the preliminary round : MAGIC CHAMBER begin. ' Max cried out the information for which the crowd cheered.

GRAY'S POV

So finally, the week for which we all were eagerly waiting for has begin. Ever since Jellal's proposal the girls were been sad, of course except Erza, not making it obvious.

But we guys knew the reason for their sadness. Even Juvia has been not in her usual self.

Its as if something else was bothering her. But I'm not able to find out what exactly is troubling her.

'Gray-sama ...... Gray-sama' I was snapped out of my thoughts by Juvia's calling. I looked at her and smiled.

'Look Gray-sama, we are Number 6. Take this instruction note. We have to follow these rules in order to complete the task.' She handed me the note.

'Hey Ice-princess, Yo Ice-Prick' The idiots called me out.

'Look me and Luce are Number 1. We will surely win this.' Natsu let out his boisterous laugh.

'As if, tch!!, It doesn't depend on the slot number. We won't know for sure what will happen once we enter it. And we are Number 4.' Gajeel for once talked with sense.

'Now I call upon the first pair to start the event.'

' My Brats, wish you all luck. Do your best.'

' Yeah Men, Let the perfume of youth and romance fill the arena. Best of Luck.'

'We are all fired up. Come on, Luce. Let's rock.'

We wished them luck and waited for our turn. Then one by one, each pair went in. The game will start once the pair enters the chamber.

'Now the 6th pair can make their way towards the chamber.'

'Come Juvia, let's go.' I held her hand interlocked my fingers with hers.

Inside the Magic Chamber

Stage A:- Labyrinth
All you have to do is make it to the other end as soon as possible. Don't forget to collect the charm. 🤗🤗

'Woah!!! It looks similar to the sky Labyrinth of GMG.'

'Yeah Gray-sama, come let's move. I know how to cross this thing. I have seen how Jellal-san used his magic to find the exit.'

I remembered Juvia's team were 2nd in the prelims. 'Now show it, let's make it quick.'
I smirked at her and she had confidence in memory.

All she did was concentrated her magic power and made a small spheres and shot in multiple direction. The shots were bounced back but expect in one direction.

'Gray-sama, this is the exit direction. But Juvia's magic is not that powerful as Jellal-san's. So let's make it as a guess and move towards it.

She holded my wrist and pulled me. After sometime, there was an obstacle in our path in the form of an riddle.

'I think we have to solve this to retrieve the charm.'

'Yeah, let Juvia read out. Even the toughest of toughest ice was melted by this. What it could be? You have only one chance.'

I was thinking hard as I was an ice mage what could possibly melt the toughest ice, Of course, it is fire. But I could see Juvia was relaxed and watched me and smiled.

'Gray-sama, Juvia knows the answer.'

'Really, what could it be? Fine if you are confidence then go ahead. Let it be any case.' I assured her with a smile.

'Well the answer is this.' She said. Suddenly, she pulled me into a hug and kissed my lips. My eyes were wided. And then I remembered our first kiss.

Then a bright light shone. We got our first charm and successfully completed the first stage.

STAGE B:- Cross the plank with the beauty in your arms. If you shout, your out and no shutting your eyes.

I lifted her in bridal style and began walking towards the plank thinking it would be cake walk in a park.
Then I realized its not that easy as it seems.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Well what made Gray realize that crossing the plank was not an easy job??
Let's find out in next chapter.
