Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 453: Even Gods Would Find It Difficult to Pass the Fairy Tail S-Class Exam

”No, eh, wait…”

”This isnʼt the same as what was in the plan!”

Lucyʼs eyes were panicked at this moment. Her already fair skin looked even whiter, as though all the blood had drained from it.

With Lucyʼs current skin condition, if she went into the mountains to play the role of a Snow Woman, she would not need makeup at all!

”Levy…”

Lucyʼs body trembled slightly. Her bright eyes continuously swept across the many S-Class Mage candidates who had yet to form teams, searching with all her might for someone she was relatively familiar with and who might be able to form a team with her.

Finally, Lucyʼs gaze gradually locked onto a blue-haired girl in the crowd. That girl was none other than Levy! Compared to the others, Lucy was fairly familiar with Levy. Because they both loved reading, they were very good book friends in private…

”Sorry, Lu! Iʼve already found someone to team up with~”

Levy showed an apologetic expression after hearing Lucyʼs words.

”Geh heh~”

Then, Gajeel, who had tied up his long hair and whose eyes were flashing with battle lust, came to Levyʼs side.

”Sorry! Levy is already my woman!”

Gajeel smiled lightly at Lucy and boldly declared.

”Ah, Gajeel is so bold~”

After hearing Gajeelʼs words, Levy held her flushed cheeks in both hands and spoke with a giggle.

”Uh…”

Lucyʼs body paused slightly. At this moment, anyone with eyes could see that Gajeel and Levy were a pair of mutually affectionate little lovebirds…

”Levy, although I really cannot understand how you took a liking to Gajeel! But from the bottom of my heart, I wish you happiness! Good luck, Levy!!”

Lucy had no intention of breaking up the lovers. She silently wished Levy well in her heart while silently taking three steps backward.

Even in Lucyʼs eyes, Levy being paired with Gajeel somehow seemed like such a waste…

”Anyway, thatʼs how it is. Lucy, you have to do your best too!”

Levy seemed to have heard Lucyʼs inner thoughts. She blinked at Lucy as if implying something.

Levy seemed to be wishing Lucy to find a good teammate soon and form a team, while also seeming to hint at something else…

”Sigh…”

Lucy seemed to understand something. She looked at the idiot Natsu, who had been forced to form a team with the ʼDesert Kingʼ Agil, and sighed. Perhaps Lucy did not know that, in the Fairy Tail Guild, everyone else looked at her and Natsu the same way she looked at Gajeel and Levy. Everyone also could not understand how a young lady like Lucy, who should have lived a carefree life without worrying about food or clothing, could have taken a liking to this poor boy Natsu…

”Natsu, Brandish, Levy have all formed teams!”

”There arenʼt many people left for me to choose from…”

Lucy turned sideways and continued looking over the people who were currently forming teams, constantly searching for someone she could team up with.

In the end, Lucyʼs gaze fell upon Gray, who had taken off half of his pants but had not completely removed them. Although he had corrected himself quite a lot, for some inexplicable reason, he looked even more perverted than when he was completely naked.

”Could it be that I can only team up with Gray?”

Lucy looked at Gray and silently thought to herself.

”Lord Gray belongs to Juvia…”

”Damn little third party Lucy, I wonʼt allow you to make a move on Lord Gray!”

However, just as Lucy was about to speak to Gray, Juvia directly stood between Lucy and Gray.

At the same time, Juvia looked at Lucy and warned her.

”Uh…”

Lucy looked at Juvia, who was emitting resentment as black as ink from head to toe, terrifying to the extreme, and immediately backed down.

”Hey! Son of Silver, if Iʼm not mistaken, you should have mastered Demon Slayer Magic as well, right?”

”Since you have mastered Demon Slayer Magic, I wonder if you are interested in teaming up with me? If the two of us join forces, the others are completely nothing to worry about…”

Just as Juvia and Lucy were confronting each other, ʼWinter Generalʼ Invel Yura, who knew something about Grayʼs father, Silver, walked up to Gray with his hands behind his back and extended an invitation.

In fact, Invel Yuraʼs first choice had been the ʼDesert Kingʼ Agil, but that idiot had already become hopelessly stupid…

”You know my father? Interesting!”

”In that case, why not team up with you?”
