Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

As for Mystogan, he merely stood inside the script and manipulated those staffs. Moreover, he did not rely on Magic to manipulate the staffs either, but rather on the telecommunication signal device invented for him by Wisdom.

”What?!”

After hearing Mystoganʼs words, Freed and Bickslow were immediately shocked.

The two vigilantly looked at the surrounding staffs, but this time the staffs did not light up.

”Heʼs bluffing?!”

At this, Freed and Bickslow exchanged a glance, and they confirmed that Mystogan was bluffing.

”But just in case, letʼs dismantle those staffs!”

Freed thought for a moment and decided that he should still clear away the staffs around them that posed a huge threat, to prevent these staffs from suddenly attacking them. After all, no one could say what other methods Mystogan had.

”Donʼt misunderstand. After you dodged my first attack, I no longer wanted to attack you!”

”But that doesnʼt mean others wonʼt attack...”

Just as Freed and Bickslow were about to act and clear away the staffs Mystogan had arranged around them, Mystogan finally spoke once again.

”Hmm?!”

Mystoganʼs words caused Freed and Bickslow to stand in place in slight astonishment.

At this moment, they were puzzled. It was one thing for Mystogan to be able to attack them, because Mystogan had prepared measures outside the script beforehand, but Wahl Icht had been trapped inside the script by them! Or could it be that Wahl Icht had also prepared measures around them?!

Freed and Bickslow exchanged a glance. Their years of experience as partners meant that they could communicate through their eyes without needing to say anything. At this moment, neither of them relaxed their vigilance.

”Itʼs finally my turn to act...”

Wahl Icht looked at Bickslow and Freed and smiled.

”When did you all develop the misconception that scripts are absolute?”

Wahl Icht imitated Mystoganʼs emphasis as he spoke, taking out his Magic Barrier Particle Elimination Device.

”Idiot! Scripts being absolute is common knowledge in the Magic world!”

Bickslow stared blankly at the device in Wahlʼs hand. He did not know what the device was for, but that did not stop him from informing Wahl of the importance of the scriptʼs absolute nature.

”Buzz!”

However, in the very next second, just as Bickslow firmly believed that scripts had to be absolute, accompanied by Wahl Icht activating the Magic Barrier Particle Elimination Device in his hand, a huge hole was opened in Freedʼs script by Wahl.

”Absolute? There has never been such a thing as absolute in this world...”

”So now, I have successfully come out! As for you two, how about you accompany me and have a good fight?”

Wahl Icht rolled his neck.

Then he revealed a ferocious grin toward Bickslow and Freed.

”Damn it!”

Freed and Bickslow stared wide-eyed at the shattered script. They knew that trouble was about to arrive.

At the same time...

Evergreen, Elfman, Lisanna, and Juvia gathered in the town of Magnolia.

”Brother Elfman, are you planning to fight me right now?”

Lisanna looked at her brother warily and asked.

”No! Evergreen and I came to form an alliance with you!”

Elfman shook his head upon hearing this and explained to Lisanna.

”Lisanna, you should also know that there are simply too many monsters in this yearʼs S-Class Mage Promotion Trial!”

”Our strength is simply far too inferior compared to those monsters. Only forming a group is our sole way out!”

Evergreen put one hand on her waist, while holding a small folding fan in her other hand to cover her beautiful face. She raised her chin and explained to Lisanna and Juvia in a tone that sounded much like a command.

To be honest, if Evergreen did not wear glasses, she could also be considered a beauty...

”Mm...”

Lisanna slightly furrowed her delicate brows after hearing Evergreenʼs words.

To be honest, she did not like Evergreenʼs attitude when speaking, but Lisanna also knew that, in fact, Evergreen had no malicious intent...

After Lisanna thought for a while, she finally nodded. She believed that what Evergreen said indeed made some sense.

”Of course, besides us, I also invited Bickslow and Freed~”

”As long as the six of us join forces, no matter how you look at it, there will definitely be a place for us in this S-Class Mage Promotion Trial!”

As Evergreen spoke, she snapped open the folding fan in her hand, an excited smile spreading across the corners of her mouth.

”Good!”
