It's been seven long years since Tenrou Island and the entire Tenrou team disappeared from Earthland. Much has changed during the Tenrou team's absence, but the biggest change of all is Akira Suishou Mizuno herself. Not only is she more grown up and...
After I help Lucy get Natsu to the infirmary to rest, I head back to my team's stands to watch the match between Kurohebi and Tobi from Lamia Scale. My heart is full of absolute joy from Natsu's speech, and I was practically floating from happiness.
I'm almost skipping up to the railing to stand beside Mira and Gajeel, a big grin on my face. "Well, someone's in a great mood," The takeover mage giggles from next to me, Gajeel on her other side.
"I guess I'm feeling a lot better after the Chariots contest," I say, grinning. I look over at Team A's stand to see that Nanami is standing with her arms crossed and an unhappy look on her face. Huh. Wonder what's up with her.
"How's Natsu doing?" Mira asks me.
"He's resting, but otherwise alright," I reply.
Getting the feeling of being stared at, I look at the stands where the Raven Tail Team is. The guy in the gold and black armour is staring intently at me, and that Flare girl is staring at Lucy.
"What are you looking at, helmet freak?" I hiss at him, giving the guy a murderous glare. He simply turns his head to the arena.
"What was that about?" Gajeel asks, having noticed my staring contest with the armoured wizard.
"I dunno, but that guy's been staring at me and Nanami intently since Day 1," I reply. Nanami mention it after the battles finished yesterday.
Gajeel, Mira, Laxus and Jellal follow my gaze. "I've noticed it, too," Laxus says.
"I will avenge Wendy," I promise, clenching my fists.
"Well, whatever. Just focus on the battle at hand," Gajeel tells me.
"Keep a close eye on Snake Man," I tell my teammates. " He'll definitely play dirty." I quickly glance at Flare and almost gasp when I see she's covered in bruises.
What the heck happened to her...?
Flare turns her eyes to me after being scolded by the armoured wizard, and mutters, "Yeah. I see you, too, blondie."
I return my attention to the arena to see that Kurohebi from Raven Tail is facing off against Tobi from Lamia Scale. The gong signifying the start of the match goes off.

"Ultra Poison Nails: Mega Mega Jellyfish!!" Tobi cries before he launches himself at Kurohebi and attempts to slash the ravenette with his very long dark green nails. However, being nimble, Kurohebi manages to twist and flip around Toni's nails.
When Tobi whirls around to slash at Kurohebi, the ravenette spins rapidly while in the air before landing with his legs spread, kicking up sand, as he skids back. His body then transforms into sand and he vanishes.
