A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

In Erza's arms, Gilly, now back to normal, yawned, looking adorably sleepy. He glanced at Yang Lei and then up at Erza, wondering what the two of them were doing.

Have you made up your mind?

Half a minute later, Erza spoke first, then looked down at Yang Lei's profile, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

When Yang Lei caught her in a princess carry, her heart was pounding. She didn't know why, but she liked that feeling.

In particular, she clearly heard Yang Lei's heart racing, so loudly that she could hear it clearly.

That's why Erza chased after Yang Lei tonight to offer him a ride home, intending to ask him again what he meant and whether he had made up his mind.

Yang Lei gave a wry smile.

Erza only looked up because he did, wanting to know what he was looking at.

What Erza didn't know was that Yang Lei hadn't seen anything; he just didn't dare look at her pretty face and bright eyes, which was why he could only look up.

As I said before, the sky was clearly pitch black, so what was there to see?

This shows that Erza has made him unable to look her in the eye, and he knows that he is about to be completely smitten.

But don't forget, the test he secretly decided for himself hasn't even begun yet.

"Erza".

Yang Lei finally lowered his head, bravely looked Erza in the eye, and promised, "When you return from Tenrou Island, I will give you an answer."

Previously, Makarov not only introduced Yang Lei and Gildarts to each other, but also told them about the trip to Tenrou Island and the S-class mage examination, asking them who would like to go to Tenrou Island as an examiner and who would like to stay behind to watch the house.

Only a handful of people are qualified to participate in this examination; not all S-class mages need to come along.

I'll stay.

This was a choice Yang Lei made voluntarily, mainly because: "It seems I'm not a formal S-class mage yet, right? I can't be an examiner for others."

"Otherwise, I might as well take the exam this time too."

Makarov rolled his eyes. This bastard even annihilated Joseph, one of the Ten Saints, in a flash. What kind of exam is he even taking?

In other words, the Tenrou Island storyline will begin immediately after the Edolas incident concludes.

"I'm waiting for you."

Erza wasn't too disappointed. Instead, she smiled confidently and said, "I believe you will accept me."

Yang Lei gave another wry smile. Faced with Erza in this state, he couldn't help but pull her into his arms.

Jili, sitting between the two, rolled her eyes; she was practically suffocating.

0410 The Seven Blank Years Begin

The Fairy Tail guild was bustling with activity that morning because the S-Class Mage Exams had begun once again.

Because the council here did not suffer a major loss of reputation and was forced to disintegrate due to the activation of magical spirit power in the Paradise Tower arc as in the original work, but retained its original system except for Geralt, Mester did not infiltrate the council but continued to stay in the guild.

That's why he wasn't invited to participate in the Sirius Island assessment, nor did he take the initiative. In this way, Wendy chose Charlotte as her assistant.

Actually, Wendy hadn't originally planned to take the S-class exam, but she couldn't resist Xia Lulu's encouragement. In Xia Lulu's words, Wendy was too weak and needed to change, and this was a good opportunity.

Soon, led by Chairman Makarov, the group from Sirius Island finally set off by boat.

In fact, long before they set off, the current S-class mages who were the examiners had already arrived at Tenrou Island. They needed to prepare the examination arrangements in advance and couldn't possibly follow the others.

At the port of Harugion City, Yang Lei and his companion, Xing Suju, watched the large ship bearing the guild flag sail away into the distance. Only Yang Lei felt a deep sense of worry, for he was the only one who knew that Sirius Island would not be at peace.

"Jeff will bring the Heart of the Devil and the Black Dragon Acnologia to Tenrou Island. I hope they are alright."

Yang Lei muttered to himself, realizing he could have intercepted and destroyed the Demon Heart and Acnologia from the sky a step ahead.

However, Yang Lei has already intervened too many times. Whether it was the Oración Seis, the Phantom Troupe, or the Edolas incident, his interference has allowed Fairy Tail's Shiki to temporarily overcome difficulties and defeat their enemies.

But it was precisely because he allowed the enemy to temporarily relax and defeat them that the once powerful Xing Si was able to rise to prominence and was forced to retreat.

In this episode about Sirius Island, Yang Lei doesn't plan to take action again. One reason is that the next part of the story won't officially begin until seven years later, so it's a good opportunity for them to spend that time on Sirius Island, so they don't all turn into middle-aged men and women.

Furthermore, it is a good test for both himself and the company.

Chapter 472

Yang Lei will use these seven years to test his feelings. If he still can't forget Erza, he will stop running away. Just like with Rukia, even if he doesn't know how to explain it to Hinata and the others later, he will still marry Erza first.

As for the Bloodlust, if they can successfully defeat the Demon Heart and escape from Acnologia's clutches, their strength and willpower will definitely be elevated.

"I hope you can get through this difficult time."

Yang Lei watched the ship finally arrive at Tianlang Island before turning around and following the other guild members who had come to see him off.

Yang Lei wasn't worried that the people had really been wiped out by Acnologia; he could use his time manipulation power and Tsukishima's abilities to change the past.

That's why he dared to turn and leave. He was afraid that if he continued to stand there, he would definitely lose his temper and take action, which would ruin everything.

After returning to Magnolia Town from Harugion City and back to the guild, Yang Lei was no longer in a hurry to take on any more missions. Makarov had asked him to keep an eye on the house, and he wouldn't leave the town again until Makarov returned.

Yang Lei is no longer an ordinary person; he holds the position of acting guild leader, meaning he was the guild leader before Makarov returned.

"Is it quite interesting?"

Yang Lei felt a sense of novelty.

. . . . . .

The next morning, newspapers urgently published a major news story: Sirius Island had been attacked by a black dragon and the entire island had been sunk.

Everyone knows that Tenrou Island is the sacred ground of Fairy Tail, and according to reliable rumors, it was during Fairy Tail's S-class mage promotion exam that day, which means that Fairy Tail's main force had been wiped out.

The publication of this newspaper caused an earthquake to erupt throughout the entire Kingdom of Fiore.

Originally, the two guilds of the Kingdom of Fiore were the strongest and the main force against the Balam Alliance.

But now, after Phantom Lord was scattered by Fairy Tail, even Fairy Tail's own main force was wiped out, which is hard for many people to accept.

Of course, some small guilds that were previously unknown were very happy, as this was a great opportunity for them to rise to prominence.

The Fairy Tail guild hall, usually bustling with activity, was now filled with a somber and sorrowful atmosphere. Although the bloody scene left behind was a result of the destruction, if even Tenrou Island was reduced to rubble, then what would become of the bloody figures above?

Just then, Yang Lei pushed the door open and entered from the outside. Seeing that Xing Shuo was very depressed, he shook his head and didn't say anything. He walked to the bar and sat down, casually pulled out a bottle of red wine from behind and poured himself a glass to drink by himself.

· ·····Requesting flowers···· ·······

It wasn't that he didn't want to boost morale, but mainly because he had never done this before. This was his first time in a leadership position, so he wanted to save as much effort as possible.

Furthermore, this Yang Lei is not the main body, but rather an avatar of Lun Hua's transcendence.

The true entity had already arrived in Harugeon City and was walking on the sea, heading quickly towards Tenrou Island.

Upon arriving at the original location of Tianlang Island, Yang Lei only needed a glance to see the truth of the matter. He saw a spherical space the size of a water droplet protecting the entire Tianlang Island. Although the group from Tianlang Island suffered serious injuries within it, their lives were not in danger.

Moreover, time inside has been frozen, and unless the spell is lifted, time inside will remain frozen at this moment.

..

"That puts my mind at ease."

Yang Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't slept a wink last night because he was worried that Erza and the others were really in danger.

Fortunately, they still made it through, although their injuries seemed to be more severe than those in the original story.

Not only that, Laxus also arrived just like in the original story, which made Yang Lei feel gratified. His previous leniency was not in vain, as Laxus did not fail to make mistakes.

"Let's go back."

Relieved, Yang Lei turned around, put away the kaleidoscope he had just used to see through space, and got up to head back the way he came.

"I haven't trained since I came to Fairy Tail. I've been bothered by many things. I'll take advantage of these seven years to train properly."

On the way, Yang Lei muttered to himself that he hadn't cultivated for a long time and it was time to pick up the cultivation he had fallen behind on.

Anyway, nothing will happen during these seven blank years, so why waste this precious time?

Yang Lei had a wonderful plan. He thought he would be able to live the life he wanted again. He would get up in the morning, train hard all day with weights, then read for two hours at eight o'clock in the evening, and go to bed at ten o'clock. How wonderful!

However, a few days later, one morning, an invitation letter arrived and disturbed Yang Lei again.

"The Grand Magic Games?"

(PS: Gilly was taken to Tenrou Island by Erza. Riki was worried about Gilly, so he went with her alone. I deleted the part because it would have been a lot longer, but I'll just mention it here...)

0411 Crocas, Yukino

"President, are you planning to participate in that Grand Magic Games?"

On this day, in the Fairy Tail guild hall, Ichiro looked at Yang Lei with an incredulous expression.

"That's right."

Yang Lei nodded. On the table in front of him was an invitation letter, an invitation from Fairy Tail to the first Grand Magic Games.

Yang Lei didn't expect that the Grand Magic Games would be held just a few days after the Tianlang Island incident. Luckily, he had a clone to take over, otherwise his cultivation would have been disturbed again.

In other words, his main body was actually cultivating at home and was too lazy to pay attention to this so-called conference. The one announcing this matter in the guild at this time was just his clone.

In Yang Lei's large villa, he used his imagination to transform the upstairs living room, and then used his imagination to create weights for himself. He began practicing on the second day after returning from Tianlang Island.

Imagination is truly an incredible ability, and it has been very helpful to him in the "705u.com - Reading Club First Release".

For example, he has now turned his living room into a gymnasium, which is equipped with all sorts of sturdy equipment and is much more effective than training alone in an open space.

His weight-bearing equipment was also better than before. The suit he was wearing weighed more than 5,000 tons, which was evenly distributed throughout his body, allowing his training to achieve the greatest effect.

Chapter 473

Within the guild, his clone remains completely unaffected, functioning as an external avatar possessing all of Yang Lei's strength and abilities.

"But President."

Faced with Yang Lei's announcement, Macaou and the others seemed somewhat worried. Although they knew he was very strong, they were very weak.

In other words...

"If you are really determined to participate in the Grand Magic Games, we can't help you."

Because Tianlang Island was destroyed and the people there were rumored to be dead, Yang Lei's acting chairmanship was officially recognized, which was considered quite acceptable.

"It doesn’t matter."

Yang Lei waved his hand, seemingly indifferent to Xing Shuo Wu Yan, and said, "It's enough for me to participate alone. I want everyone to know that Fairy Tail will not fall or decline. It is still the strongest guild."

Hearing Yang Lei's words, Xing Shunsi Ting whimpered, appearing somewhat excited and moved.

Yang Lei certainly didn't do this for his own sake. His strength has already been recognized. As long as he has time to go to the Council to participate in the magic power test, he can become one of the Ten Wizard Saints at any time. He's just too lazy to go.

Who was most affected by Fairy Tail's decline?

Without a doubt, the impact will be greatest on the mages below.

If the guild is weak, they will be looked down upon when they go out to do quests. Only when the guild is strong will others not dare to provoke them.

"That's the decision."

Yang Lei spoke again, making a definitive statement: "I will be participating in this Grand Magic Games by myself. You all just need to stay home and wait for good news."

Faced with Yang Lei's persistence, Xing Sihui relentlessly pursued him, his voice trembling with determination.

In the Fairy Tail guild today, Yang Lei is the only one left with strength above S-class, unless Mystergan returns from Edolas.

If Yang Lei were to encounter any further mishaps, it's easy to imagine that the guild would inevitably decline.

Yang Lei just smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself, what are you worried about? I'm not the main body. If I die, the main body can summon another clone at any time.

Besides, my strength is already unmatched in the world. At least in the current Fairy Tail world, no one is my match. What unexpected events could possibly happen?

He simply nodded, indicating that he appreciated the gesture.

That afternoon, Yang Lei bid farewell to Xing Si Tuo and went downstairs.

Before leaving, he entrusted the guild to Marcao, appointing him as acting guild master, and warned him not to rush to accept quests, but to wait until he brought back good news before going out.

Just like a fish out in the wild, you only get respect when you're out in the world; otherwise, you'll be looked down upon when you're doing tasks.

And so, Yang Lei set off alone on the road to Crocus to participate in the first Grand Magic Tournament.

. . . . . .

Crocas is the name of a city and the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore.

News of the Grand Magic Games has spread widely through the newspapers, attracting a large number of tourists to Crocus, which is now almost overcrowded.

Fortunately, some really expensive luxury hotels still had plenty of rooms, which prevented Yang Lei from sleeping on the streets.
