After the banquet, the guild members resumed their busy commissioned work.
Normally, they wouldn't be in such a hurry, but now it's a crucial time before the S-class mage assessment, and anyone who has their eye on this title dares not slack off in the slightest and is showing an extremely proactive attitude.
This is somewhat like cramming before an exam, but even if there's only a sliver of a chance of being selected by the president, it's all worth it!
Being an S-class mage is not only a recognition and affirmation of one's own strength, but also a super weapon to show off in front of one's friends!
Of course, there are also some laid-back types who are completely uninterested in this, such as old-fashioned characters like Macao and Wakaba, as well as waitresses like Eclair and Ginana.
The former has long passed the age of youthful passion and only wants to drift through life, while the latter is well aware of his own abilities and has no strong desire to become an S-class.
"The annual S-class mage exam, what if you accidentally qualify for the exam and then accidentally pass it?"
Standing blankly in front of the task board, Lucy imagined herself becoming an S-class hero and showing off to Natsume.
Then he excitedly twisted his body repeatedly.
Will I be that lucky?
Even though he only joined the guild this year and is still a newbie, Wadashi has really become much stronger! Not only has he mastered the Celestial Robe, but he also participated in the battle against the Oración Seis, a dark guild, and learned the super magic, Star Chart Chronicles.

Lucy clenched her fist, looking incredibly motivated: "It really can do it!!"
Inspired and influenced by Chess, she, who used to be terrified of anything, now has the courage to compete with monsters like Nazgray, which is quite an improvement.
"Lucy, you look like a stranger."
Happy flew down from the sky and landed on her shoulder. "Promise me, even if you really qualify for the S-rank assessment, you'll be the first contestant to be eliminated, okay?"
As the team's atmosphere-maker and source of much of the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical remarks), Dead Cat genuinely doesn't want to see Lucy achieve fame and success.
It's not that I'm jealous of Lucy, it's just that doing so would make me seem useless.
This is the only thing that absolutely cannot be done!
"I never expected you to think that way, Happy. I was even thinking that if I really became an S-class mage, I would take you with me to do high-level commissions and make a lot of money to buy more delicious fish~" Lucy sighed with feigned regret.
"Love, Lucy! If you are chosen, the brave cat-man Happy is willing to lend you a hand!"
Harpy's eyes lit up instantly, even though he had just said absolutely no, and he made a firm promise.
"Huh? What about Natsu? You two are the best partners, aren't you?" Lucy grinned mischievously.
"Who said that? We don't know him at all!" Happy immediately distanced himself from Natsu without even thinking.
Natsu is currently busy bickering and fighting with Gajeel, otherwise the two of them would probably have to sleep in separate rooms tonight.
Erza walked over slowly, her expression serious. "Lucy, even though you've improved a lot recently, the S-rank assessment is extremely brutal. You can't afford to take any chances!"
"Huh? Yes!" Lucy was so startled by the Fairy Tail Disciplinary Committee member that she immediately assumed a perfect military posture.
"Speaking of which, I remember Natsu got a really bad beating from Erza last year, and he couldn't walk for three days straight."
Mira, who appeared alongside Erza, smiled and reminded her, "And this year, Chess will probably be an examiner too."
After deciding to compete fairly, the two girls did not revert to their childhood rivalry; they maintained their original way of getting along.
"—Mira said something incredibly scary so calmly!"
Lucy glanced silently at Chess, who was chatting and drinking tea with the president at the bar, and felt a chill run down her spine.
If he were to actually encounter such a woman, even if she were cute, charming, and captivating, the gambler would absolutely not hold back in such matters. He would even laugh maniacally and then mercilessly "kill her"!
Lucy suddenly felt that she should prepare a white flag in advance so that she could surrender at lightning speed before her life was threatened—if she could actually be selected for the assessment list.
"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't the point of the S-rank assessment to take down guys like Chase?" Gray, who had experience with this several times, crossed his arms and looked calm.
Wendy, who had been listening for a while, blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Gregor seems quite confident."
"Hmph, I have a rather powerful helper this year!" Gray's lips curled up slightly.
Upon hearing this, Lucy immediately snapped out of her daze and moved closer to Gray with a cunning look, as if she wanted to probe for information: "Really? Really? Who is it? Elfman or Bigelow?"
"I won't reveal any information to potential competitors. You'll find out when the time comes," Gray said mysteriously, waving his hand.
"Of course, it has to be Juvia!"
Juvia silently peeked out from under the nearest table, glancing menacingly at Lucy. "Lord Grey, Juvia is willing to kill that damn blondie for you!"
"When did you hide in a place like that?!"
Over here at the bar.
Gajeel found Chess in a state of emotional distress.
"Hey, Chess, I heard from that damned fire dragon that a jet-black dragon has appeared in your card slot?!"
"That's right." Chase calmly put down his teacup, nodded, and didn't hide anything.
"Let me see it quickly!" Gajeel was impatient after receiving an affirmative answer.
Like Nazwenti, he also wanted to know about his adoptive father, Iron Dragon Medalicana, but the proud man wouldn't bring up such things.
"Are you sure? That guy has a terrible temper; you might get beaten up badly," Chase laughed.
"Hehe, I'm not like that good-for-nothing fire dragon!"
Gajeel was certainly not afraid at all, or to be more precise, precisely because of this, he wanted to see Gandora and prove to Natsu that his Iron Dragon Slayer Magic was superior to his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic.
"Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish."
Chess snapped his fingers, and Gajeel was immediately enveloped in a dark golden magic circle and vanished into thin air.
The idea remains the same as before: to let the guild's Dragon Slayer Mages face the pressure of dragons in advance, which will be very beneficial for both accumulating combat experience and honing their Dragon Slayer Magic.
So even if Gajeel didn't say it, he would still do it.
"Chase, what do you mean by the jet-black dragon?" Makarov's pupils contracted, and he asked incredulously in a deep voice.
"Don't worry about the old man, that guy is our partner."
"That's not the issue at all! You can summon a dragon from a legend that dates back four hundred years?!"
"Haha, just lucky, just lucky."
Just as Chess was explaining the origin of the Destruction Dragon to Makarov, Gajeel had already arrived at the Black Rock Desert in the Card Space.
Then, the Iron Dragon, showing off its dragon-slaying magic like a circus act, was unsurprisingly snatched away by Gandora as a punching bag and sent flying straight into an ancient city, where it lay unconscious in the ruins.
"How is this possible? He's incredibly strong!"
Gajeel struggled to his feet, a look of horror on his face.
His Iron Dragon Sword had absolutely no effect on the opponent; it couldn't even cut off the outermost scales!
"You scrap metal brat from out there, that's not how you cut down dragons."
The rough voice that suddenly rang out from behind startled Gajeel.
Looking back, there was a strong man clad in armor and wielding a dragon-tooth greatsword.
"Who are you-"
"I see. You want to learn the Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique from me? You do have some sense."
"Who wants to learn swordsmanship from a bastard like you! I'm asking you, who are you?!"
"Not bad, not bad. I approve of your temper. This is the most basic quality that a dragon-breaking dragon must possess."
Gajeel: "..—"
"Open your eyes wide and watch carefully, kid. This slash is going to be really cool!"
Before Gajeel could react, the Dragon Slayer lowered his body slightly, unleashing a terrifying aura as he unleashed an incredibly powerful slash forward.
boom!!
The blade flashed across the sky, exploding across Gandora's territory and obliterating all the shattered rocks!
Gajeel was stunned: This is a slash that a human could unleash?!
