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

"Of course~~~~That's the guild that my friends and I founded~~~!" The little girl smiled and patted her chest.

Hearing her words, Sieg opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Was it she who founded Fairy Tail?

Then she is not...

"The first president? Mavis... uh... what was the last name? It's too long to remember."

"It's [Mavis Viviamilio]. You can just call her Mavis. The last name is indeed a bit long."

Mavis smiled and sat down next to Sieg.

"I came here to check on the situation after noticing the children's magic power. Judging from the current situation, they should have started to advance to the S-rank again~~~ That's great. Under the leadership of the third-generation president, the new generation of wizards are also very good. The guild has reached a point where I don't need to worry about it at all."

"Even though I'm just a ghost, it's useless to worry~~~Hehe~~~"

The first president of Fairy Tail.

You can tell from the name that it's a female, but Sieg never expected that the first president would be such a cute girl who looks innocent.

How did such a person establish Fairy Tail?

(But...even though it's just a ghost, I can inexplicably feel a strong magical power.)

(The people on this planet are really interesting.)

"So...what did you come to see me about? First President?"

While thinking, Sieg asked, "Although I called you out, you didn't come here just to watch the fight, did you?"

"Well, it's mainly for you. After all, this is the first time I've met a special child like you."

Mavis looked into Sieg's eyes.

"It's just a hunch, but... you should be fundamentally different from the other kids."

"I was curious about this and wanted to come and see you in person - then, can you tell me your name first?"

16. Invaders of Tianlang Island

On the Fairy Tail's guild's holy land, Tenrou Island, they met a little girl who existed in a form similar to a ghost and claimed to be the first president.

Even though he had just joined Fairy Tail, Sieg still felt that this situation was somewhat suspicious - at least, a first-generation president suddenly appeared on Tenrou Island, where no one would normally come. This was a bit strange to think about, right?

Seeing Sieg remain silent, the girl who called herself Mavis smiled and said, "It seems that you can't trust me. That's right, from an objective point of view, my words and actions are indeed a bit suspicious. It's normal for you to be suspicious. Then, let me ask you a favor here."

"Can you please find the invaders who have already invaded this island and repel them?"

Intruder?

Sieg frowned. "What do you mean? Before we came to this island, there were other people who came to this island?"

"Well, when those three S-class wizards came to the island, and shortly before you arrived, someone came to the island without the guild emblem. Although I don't know what the other party wants to do or what his purpose is, I can feel that the intruder came with malicious intent."

Mavis said in a deep voice: "If possible, please find that person while you are taking the exam."

(…What on earth is going on here?)

First, they encountered an unidentified ghost, and then there were unknown invaders who invaded Tenrou Island. Although judging from the situation on Tenrou Island, it seemed that there was no barrier set up to prohibit people other than guild members from entering and leaving, but it was invaded by unknown people...

Does the guild really care about the safety of this holy place?

If someone wants to deal with Fairy Tail, wouldn't they just have to come to Tenrou Island in advance, set up a lot of traps, and wait for Fairy Tail to come to the island?

(I should talk to Mr. Makarov about this later. At least we need to set up a barrier that can cover the entire island.)

(But, intruders? --Ms. Brunhilde, my sensing range cannot cover the entire island. Please use the Clinhild to check.)

[Yes, Master Sieg, please wait a moment]

As Brunhilde's voice rang in his mind, Sieg also felt the scan cast down from the Krinhild in the sky.

By the way, because neither the magic technology nor the scientific technology is well developed on this planet, the Crinshid, which has been staying in the Earth-Moon orbit, has now come into the atmosphere for a rare time, and absorbed the ubiquitous magic power on this planet to replenish fuel and energy.

Not long after, the scan results of the Klinshid appeared in Sieg's eyes.

(Hmm...Except for the people who took the exam, the S-class wizards, and the president, there were no recorded magical reactions...are there two?)

Sieg glanced at Mavis.

She said there was only one intruder, but the magical response detected by the Crimsheed showed that there were two.

"...Are you sure it's just one person?"

The

The sudden question made Mavis stunned for a moment.

Zig repeated, "I mean the intruder. Are you sure there's only one person? There's no one else?"

"Well, there's only one person, what's wrong?"

"...Nothing, I'll treat the other one as someone you know - after the first round of exams is over, I'll find time to look for him. By the way, after finding him, do I just need to repel him? No need to kill him directly?"

"Of course not!"

Hearing that Sieg was going to kill someone, Mavis immediately shook her head: "Life is precious, we can't just take away other people's lives casually."

"Of course I know this, but to me, the value of life is not equal. The only lives that can be preserved are the lives that I consider precious. The lives of enemies and rivals are worthless in my eyes."

"Bang--------!"

Just as he was saying this, another loud noise was heard outside the barrier.

It's probably that Elfman was knocked away by Mira again, right?

Sieg didn't even look back, he just looked at Mavis quietly: "I'm not sure if you are the first president of our guild, but since there are invaders on the guild's holy land, it is reasonable for me to help expel them. However, how I deal with them in the end is my own business."

"Also, I will go and verify your matter with Mr. Makarov."

"......Well, it seems that you are a person with clear self-standards." Mavis looked at Sieg with a serious expression, "If someone like you becomes an enemy, it will be the most difficult type. But if you become a companion, there is no companion more trustworthy than you."

"I am sincerely glad that you are a member of Fairy Tail - then I will leave everything to you. If there is a chance, we will see each other later."

The moment the words fell, Mavis' figure disappeared from Sieg's sight.

(Miss Brunhilde, is her existence recorded?)

[Yes. Although I cannot capture the specific image, I can reproduce and reconstruct it based on Sieg-sama's memory. It will be completed in one minute.]

(That’s a bother. Please use magic to pass it to me when you’re done.)

"Bang----------!"

The loud noise sounded again.

Pulling his attention back from the conversation with Brunhilde, Sieg looked at the situation outside the barrier, and this look -

"You scared me, Elfman."

Seeing Elfman lying on the outside of the barrier, covered in wounds, and almost face to face with him, Sieg removed the barrier and supported him: "Even after you were strengthened, you still can't beat him?"

"Well... Sister is really amazing..."

Elfman kept gasping for breath, and his voice showed obvious weakness and embarrassment.

Not far in front of the two of them, Mira stopped chasing after seeing Sieg standing up: "Are you finally going to make a real move, Sieg?"

"Hmm? No, whether I take action or not depends on Elfman's own thoughts~~~"

Ziggy smiled and waved his hand.

Mira and Elfman couldn't help but be stunned.

Sieg helped the big guy beside him down and said, "It's easy for me to defeat you, Miss Mira, but I am just an assistant after all. The one who really takes part in the exam is Elfman. If he wants to become an S-class wizard, then he must show the level that meets the requirements of an S-class wizard."

"For example, when he was choosing a path, I told him that he could pass the first round directly by taking that path, but in order to gain recognition from you as his sister, he still chose to take the initiative to accept your trial. He felt that only by gaining your recognition could he take the first step towards becoming an S-class wizard."

"It's the same thing now - if I beat you, then I'm the qualified one, not him. This is putting the cart before the horse."

"Sieg..."

"Well......"

These very realistic words made Mira and her brother fall into silence one after another.

From a realistic point of view, what Zigg said is right, and it's not just him, it's something every pair of partners needs to know and acknowledge.

Sieg looked at Elfman, "So, what are you going to do, Elfman?"

"Do you want me to send you to the second round, or continue to challenge your sister with your own strength?"

17. Before the second round begins

So, more than half an hour later——

"In the end, Elfman brother was not selected~~~~"

Deep in the Sirius Island, at the exit of the eight passages, in a camp temporarily built for the S-level upgrade exam.

Looking at Elfman lying unconscious on the ground with bandages all over his body, Lisanna couldn't help but laugh and cry as Sieg repeated the contents of the first round of the exam.

In the end, Elfman did not rely on Sieg's power, but chose to challenge Mira with his own strength. In the end, he was knocked unconscious by Mira and was eliminated in the first round.

"Although Miss Mira said that Elfman's will alone would allow him to pass, in the end she still made up her mind to let him fail."

Zig said.

"She said that if it was her brother, he would definitely not be willing to accept this kind of charity-like qualification - I also think this is better."

“Is that so~~~”

Lisanna also sighed slightly: "As expected of you, Sister Mira and Brother Elfman. In comparison, Juvia and I are much more unlucky~~~"

"Really? Who did you meet?"

"It's Erza-sister!"

When Lisanna mentioned this, she looked helpless and regretful. "Sister Erza really doesn't know what it means to show mercy. She used all her strength to deal with Juvia and me! There is no way anyone can beat her when she's going all out, right?"

"Don't say that, Lisanna!"

As if attracted by Lisanna's words, Erza, who was wearing armor, walked over and said with a smile: "For an S-class wizard, the most important thing is strength and character. I know very well that you and Juvia are both people with no problems with character, so I must give you a strict test of your strength."

"Erusa is right, Lisanna~~~"

Mira also came to the front of several people: "An exam is an exam. Although I will consider showing mercy, strictness is also necessary."

"Well~~~I know, sister."

Lisanna said as she threw herself into Mira's arms and rubbed against her twice as if seeking comfort.

Watching the two of them getting along, Sieg stood up, gave up his seat next to Elfman, and walked to the other side.

And Erza followed.

"I'm surprised that Elfman would fail in the selection process even with you here. But since this is the case, there's really nothing we can do about it. As an S-class wizard, I don't think there's anything wrong with your actions. You actually played half of the role of Elfman's examiner this time."

"I didn't do anything. I just copied what my teacher did to me."

Sieg looked at her. "Besides, I also know that we can't let people who haven't fully grown up face things beyond their capabilities... After all, I used to be such a person, and I suffered a lot because of it."

"Really? It seems like you have an unusual past." Erza smiled. "By the way, now three groups have passed, and there is only one group left."

Just as Erza said, now in this makeshift camp, in addition to Sieg and Elfman, Juvia and Lisanna, four groups of contestants have gathered.

They are Gajeel and the female magician named [Levy], Lucy and her partner [Kana], Gray and a man named [Loki].

Among them, Lucy and Gray's two groups encountered the passage of civil war, which eliminated the other two groups. Using the process of elimination, only the last group was left -

"Natsu?"

Sieg glanced in a certain direction. "Judging from the magic power, he should be fighting against that [Gildarts], right? I wonder if he can get through it smoothly."

"Who knows? After all, it's Natsu and Gildarts. It's reasonable if he didn't pass, and it's not surprising if he did. But your magic perception ability is really excellent. Can you sense such a long distance?"

"Uh-oh, it's the president."
