Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

“What a loss!”

"I lost all my living expenses for this month! Asshole!"

"Hehehe~~~~ I made a ton of money, so I don't need to work for the next year~~~"

"Lend me some money~~~~!"

......

Listening to the conversations of other members, Zigg frowned: "What's wrong with them? Are they gambling?"

"Yes, after all, you said such amazing things yesterday, so some people started betting on whether you can complete all the tasks in one day." Erza came over to explain, "Many people bet that you can't complete it. Although I didn't bet, I didn't think you could complete it. In the end, I didn't expect that you actually completed it... How did you do it?"

"Some of the missions here take a week to go back and forth, and some even require going abroad."

How is it accomplished?

Of course, that's through the Clinshid.

After leaving the guild yesterday, Sieg went straight to the wilderness and returned to the Kreinhild. Then, he locked the specific coordinates one by one according to the locations on the commission, and then teleported to complete the commissions one by one - there were more than 20 commissions, but it actually took Sieg less than an hour to complete them, and the rest of the time he was spent as a sparring partner on the Kreinhild.

In the past, Tina, Xijing Ningyin and Edwards served as his sparring partners, but now he serves as his sparring partner for Daohua and Xuecai. This is actually not a bad thing, as it also allows Sieg to practice space magic.

Unlike Carula who had already learned time magic, Sieg was still a layman in space magic. Although Scarlet gave him a textbook that was said to be understandable to an idiot after that conversation, he still needed practice.

But you can't tell these words to the people in the guild.

"I know a special kind of space magic."

Sieg thought for a moment before answering.

"That's a kind of magic that requires you to mark a place in advance, and then you can return to the marked place at any time, without any distance restrictions. And the locations of the commissions I chose are basically places I have been to before, so I can go back and forth quickly."

"Is there such a space magic?"

Even Makarov was surprised.

The space magic that allows one to go to any marked place at will regardless of distance - space magic is a lost magic that is extremely rare and difficult to learn, and even among space magic, Sieg's magic is definitely one of the most difficult to learn!

"You registered for fire magic yesterday~~~ kid."

"I didn't say I only know fire magic, Mr. Makarov."

Sieg smiled, as if he didn't hear the meaning of Makarov's words: "Besides, this is a teleportation magic that can only be used by myself. At most, I can only carry some things with me. It's not really a very convenient magic."

These words immediately attracted complaints from the surrounding guild members!

"No, no, no! This is already a super convenient magic!"

"Compared to that, the magic we know is not even up to par~~~"

"Damn it! How can this be possible! Not only is the new guy handsome and a great fighter, but his magic is also so advanced!"

"Newbie! Do you want to have a relationship with me, your sister~~~?"

The last sentence suddenly filled the guild with laughter.

Sieg did not answer this question, but sat down at the bar. Mira also cooperated and gave him a glass of juice: "But in this way, Sieg, you have earned more than 200 million J in one go. This is a lot of wealth. You can rent a good house."

"Hmm? Can't you buy it?"

"Of course you can buy it. I have some connections in this area and can introduce you to someone. But if you do that, two million will be spent all at once~~~"

Two million is just enough to buy a house?

Sieg thought back to the situation in Magnolia...and suddenly he felt an urge to rob the house.

How dare you sell a house like that out there at such a high price?

"Then... let's rent a house first. Miss Mira, can you recommend me a good house?"

"Sure~~~ But you have to wait until today's work is finished."

boom----!

Mira's words had just fallen when the guild door not far away was knocked open.

A figure came to Sieg in a hurry - it was Natsu.

"Mira! I have completed this commission! And my next commission will be this one!"

"Yes, be careful on the road~~~"

"Oh!"

Without even taking a break, Natsu, who had just returned, ran out with a new commission.

Looking at him in a hurry, Zigg frowned: "What's wrong with him?"

"Not long after you left for work yesterday, Natsu woke up, and then seemed to realize something, and went to work right after you." Mira explained with a smile, "And, every time at this time, our guild is like this, you will understand after a while."

"Is that right?"

Zigg still didn't quite understand.

And at this moment——

"Ah! Natsu, that bastard! Why didn't he tell me it was already this time!?"

In the crowd, a shirtless boy seemed to realize something and suddenly shouted. Then he rushed to the commission column, grabbed one of the commissions and came to Mira: "Mira, I want to take this commission!"

"Okay, be careful on the road~~~"

This time there was no response, and the boy with his upper body naked rushed out.

First it was Natsu, then the boy just now.

The abnormal behavior of these two people made the other members fall into deep thought, and soon -

“It’s over, ahhhhh! Is it already this time!?”

"Work! You absolutely have to start working during this period!"

"Mira-chan! I want to take this commission!"

"I want this! I want this!"

"Damn it! All the subjugation requests have been cleared by the newcomers!"

The entire guild seemed to be in an uproar, as if everyone's enthusiasm for work was completely ignited. A large number of people gathered in front of the commission column and the bar, sweeping up the commissions like crazy!

Sieg, who was forced to squeeze to the side, looked at the scene of people rushing to buy something and couldn't help but take a sip of his drink: "Ms. Erza, what's going on here..."

"Haha, you'll know after a while."

"...So you like being a Riddler too?"

Sieg suddenly didn't want to talk to Erza anymore.

10. S-level upgrade exam

After Sieg joined Fairy Tail, a week passed quickly.

After that, after Mira finished her work, Zieg found a house with a decent rent through her introduction and moved in - he didn't really care about the rent or the living environment, but Mira's recommendation was generally pretty good.

And it was during this week that the entire "Fairy Tail" really seemed to be addicted to work. At least half of the wizards began to work extremely frantically, taking on another commission as soon as one commission was completed, as if they were extremely short of money.

As for the reason, Sieg found it out later - in short, it was to compete for a place in the S-class wizard exam.

As mentioned before, the candidates for the S-class wizard upgrade assessment are selected by the president Makarov, and the criteria are the members' performance, overall strength and character in the past year. The reason why they are working like crazy now is actually equivalent to brushing their performance at the end of the year.

After all, based on years of experience, the level of activity of guild members is also one of the indicators for judging whether one can take the exam.

However, Sieg was somewhat pessimistic about the last-minute cramming of these people in the guild - if they had known that there would be such a big thing at the end of the year, what would they have done earlier? They had time to stay in the guild drinking and chatting, but no time to go out to work?

——He completely forgot how he had to study late into the night before the final exams when he was in school and had several people to tutor him.

And today, after a crazy week of work.

In the lobby of Fairy Tail.

Looking at the temporary stage not far away, which was covered with pieces of white cloth, Sieg, who was sitting below, sighed: "We need to set up a stage to announce something... Doesn't our president attach great importance to the sense of ceremony?"

"It seems so~~~"

The girl who was sitting at the same table with Sieg and looked somewhat similar to Mira smiled and said, "This is the first time I'm talking to you, Sieg, right? I'm Lisanna, Mira's sister, and this is my brother, Elfman."

"Hello, Zig!"

The muscular man sitting next to Lisanna nodded to Sieg and said, "I watched your duel with Natsu and Gajeel. You are truly a great man!"

"Thank you for the compliment - but Miss Mira's brother and sister? This may be a bit offensive, but are you three... fatherless and motherless?"

"Well, this is a bit complicated~~~Ah, let's get started!"

Lisanna pointed to the stage not far away.

As she said this, under the gaze of everyone present, the curtain covering the stage slowly rose up, and the next moment, several figures appeared on the podium one after another.

The leader is naturally Makarov.

Behind him stood two S-class wizards, Mira and Erza, and another middle-aged man who looked a little sloppy.

(Hmm? That man...)

Sieg's gaze lingered on the man for a moment. He could sense that this man's magic power seemed to be the strongest in the current Fairy Tail? Even stronger than Makarov, the guild master?

(That’s interesting.)

“Ahem——!”

As if to attract everyone's attention, Makarov, who was wearing formal clothes for a rare time, cleared his throat and said, "According to the ancient rules of Fairy Tail, the list of candidates for the S-class wizard upgrade exam will now be announced!"

“Uoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

Deafening cheers suddenly resounded throughout the entire guild!

Unlike Sieg who just joined the guild a week ago, the others have been members of the guild for a long time and have been looking forward to the annual event, the S-class wizard upgrade exam, for a long time!

Although only a few people can be selected in the end, and even only one person may pass the exam, but once you become an S-class wizard, it means that you have entered a whole new stage as a wizard!

Better-paying commissions, greater fame - to put it bluntly, becoming an S-class wizard means both fame and fortune.

There are many people who have been looking forward to Fairy Tail for a long time now, and many people have been preparing for many years just to become S-class wizards.

Now the wait has finally come!

"Hehehe! I really can't wait any longer, Grandpa!"

Natsu fist-bumped excitedly.

"I will definitely become an S-class wizard this year!"

"Don't worry, Natsu, the announcement will be made soon." Makarov smiled, then said seriously, "There are 8 candidates this year! They are——"

"——【Natsu Dragneel】"

Natsu, the first one whose name was called, immediately burst into flames of excitement!

It was obvious that he really wanted to become an S-class wizard, and Sieg could see that passion and interest.

"——【Gray Fulpasta】"

The second person to be called was the boy who liked to be shirtless, whom Zieg had seen several times before.

Gray curled his lips and glanced at Natsu who was breathing fire: "You are actually behind Natsu, why?"

"——【Elfman Strauss】"

Hearing the third name being called, Sieg couldn't help but look at Elfman who was sitting at the same table with him.

He didn't realize that this big guy was actually qualified to take the S-class wizard upgrade exam. Judging from his magic power, he was actually not that outstanding.

(However, the minimum level of an S-class wizard is not that high. If Natsu can participate, then we can't ask for too much.)

Sieg thought as he silently sipped his drink.

Soon, a total of eight candidates were announced. Although Sieg didn't know any of them, judging from the reactions of others around him, he was basically certain that they were all well-known and powerful people in the guild.

"Also, considering that some people are taking the exam for the first time, let me explain the rules here again."

Makarov continued.
