Your POV:

Gray: Looks like this year is gonna be pretty tough as well.

"Don't expect any of us to go easy on you. And before you even ask, it's no use trying to get information from us, only the master knows what the trial will be made of."

Lisanna: This looks like it might be trouble.

Lucy; I'm surprised you all are first-time challengers.

Natsu: I'M BURNING NOW !!! I'M DEFINITELY GONNA BECOME AN S-CLASS !!!

Elfman: Nuuuuuu, Elfman !! The road to S-Class grows farther and farther !

Wendy: Everyone, do your best !

Mew: i'm gonna guess most of you already chose their partners, right ?

Natsu: I'm definitely going with Happy.

Happy: Aye !

Elfman: Happy ? That's not fair !! If the exam turns out to be a race, he can fly, so it'll be no contest !

"But when it comes to fighting... That's when the trouble begins."

Happy: D- Don't be mean ! I'm gonna make Natsu an S- Class mage no matter what !!

Natsu: I know you guys are my allies, but this is one thing I can't back down on !! I CAN'T STAY HERE ANY LONGER !! TRAINING TIME !!!

Happy: AYE SIR !!

Lisanna: In only the two years I've been gone, Natsu's come all the way to taking part in the S-Class exam... He thinks he'll be able to meet Igneel if he becomes an S-Class mage. He's got twice the passion of a normal person in regards to the exam.

Juvia: Um... Juvia wants to forfeit the exam.

Wendy: Ehh ? Why ?

Juvia: Because... I want to be... Partner... because... Um... Juvia wants to...

Lucy: She want's to become your partner.

Gray: Huh ?

Juvia: I KNEW IT !! SO YOU ARE AFTER HIM, LUCY !!

Lucy: No, I'm not !

Gray: Sorry, but I've already decided on my partner.

Loki: Long time no see, everyone.

"Loki ?"

Gray: We made a promise last year.

Loki: Sorry Lucy, but I'll have to cancel our agreement during the exam. You don't need to worry, I've created a gate using my own magic. So I won't need to use yours.

Lucy: Just how selfish a spirit are you ?

"Muahahaha !!"

Elfman: But how will you pass for a member of the guild ?

Loki: I'm still a mage of Fairy Tail. In the pride of the guild, I will make Gray an S-class mage.

Gray: I'm counting on you.

Loki: leave it to me.

"You two better not start randomly undressing at the island, we won't be able to deal with the swarm of fangirls there."

Lucy: Since when have you two been so buddy-buddy ?

Gray: So Juvia, this means you've got to fight me seriously. let's have a heated battle for once in a while.

Juvia: 'Heated... heated grappling ?!!!'

Mew: I don't think we want to know...

Lisanna: I'll team up with Juvia !!

Elfman: Are you serious, Lisanna ?!

Lisanna: I was good friends with Juvia in Edolas. And this Juvia, she's kinda cute.

Juvia: L- Lisanna...

Lisanna: It's decided !!

Juvia: Could she also be after Mr.Gray... ?

Lucy: Just how warped are you ?

Elfman: Hold on, Lisanna !! Who will be my partner, then ?!

Lisanna: Oh ? But there's someone who's been giving you a heated stare for a while now.

Elfman: Eh ?

Lisanna: It seems that she's miffed at Fried choosing Bickslow as his partner.

"Evergreen... Good luck, Elfman."

Elfman: Heated... It looks more like the kind of stare that will turn you into stone !!

"At this point, maybe you want to try the other way to become S-Class."

Elfman: Dying a horrible death doesn't make you a man !

Lucy: Um, what ? The other way ?

"Ah, right, I did say I'd tell you. That trial is the official way to become an S-class mage, but there's another one. You have to challenge another S-Class mage to a duel, and beat them one-on-one, then have the master acknowledge your victory. Then you can be officially made an S-class."

Mew: If you're wondering, he beat Erza. Do you understand why we won't tell Natsu about that method ?

Lucy: Y- Yes... I see why... He's already noisy enough as things are...

Mew: Speaking of noise.

Jet: LEVY WAS CHOSEN !!

Droy: AMAZING !! YOU MIGHT BECOME AN S-CLASS MAGE !! OUR LEVY, AN S-CLASS !!! So !! I'm gonna be your partner, right ?!!

Jet: Yeah, right !! It's gotta be me !! I'm a faster runner !!

Droy: My magic is more suited for battle !!

Jet: Oh, that's your reason ?! You're just after Levy !!!

Droy: Who's the one after her ?!!

Levy: Haah...

Gajeel: If you really want to become an S-Class, then I'll lend a hand.

Levy: G- GAJEEL !!

Gajeel: I'll blow away any guy you don't like during the exam.

Levy: My... My body is small, and I've got no redeeming features. So I might lose quick.

Gajeel: How's saying weak stuff like that before it even starts gonna help you ?

Levy: AHH ! Noo... Let me down !

Gajeel: I'll make you big.

Lucy: HOT !!! It should be winter now, why... I think I'm gonna melt ! I'm gonna turn into Ice cream, and Happy's gonna eat me.

Happy: That sounds yucky...

Levy: You look really slovenly like that, Lucy.

Cana: Convection keeps the weather like this all year round.

Lisanna: Aren't you hot in that, Juvia ?

Juvia: No. But... If I had to say... MR.GRAY'S NAKED BODY LOOKS HOT !!!

Gray: Hawwwt...

Natsu: I feel baaad.

Loki: Natsu ! Please don't come any closer !

Natsu: Wendy won't cast Trojan... Blarf...

Loki: She has no choice, being Mest's partner.

Evergreen: You know, I just can't get used to knowing that we're all going to become enemies after this.

Elfman: HOOOT !!

Lucy: Ah ! I can see it !

Gray: So we're here ?! Is that Tenrou island ?!

Loki: What a shape !

Lisanna: An island on an island ?!

Happy: Natsu !! We're almost there !

Makarov: It's said that fairies used to live on this island.

Lucy: Master !

Makarov: And Fairy Tail's first master, Mavis Vermilion, sleeps here.

Gray: What's with that outfit ?!

Makarov: But it's hot.

Lucy; Is that what a naked person should say ?

Makarov: I will now announce the details of the first exam.

Wendy: The first exam ?!

Mest: It's split up into levels every year.

Makarov: You see the smoke rising up from that beach, right ? First head there. There are eight paths there, only one group can enter each path. And here's what waits for you behind each path.

Makarov: Only the teams that get through this, will clear the first exam !

Makarov: In the "battle" routes, two teams will meet up, and only the winning team will be able to proceed. The "Hard battle" are very difficult routes where you will have to defeat an S-Rank mage in order to proceed. "Quiet" is the route where you can proceed through the exam without having to fight anyone. Hopefully. Your goals in this first exam are "Power" and "Luck" !!

Lucy: if it's luck, we might be able to do this !

Cana: We only have a 1/8 chance of hitting the "quiet" zone.

Evergreen: Logically, only a maximum of 6 teams can clear this exam.

Elfman: I- IMPOSSIBLE !! GILDARTS AND ERZA'S ROADS ARE OFF LIMITS !!

Levy: So worst case scenario, only 3 teams pass...

Gajeel: Cool !!

Makarov: Ehhh, no. Even if, by chance, you happens to chose the quiet route, you're not out of danger yet. Analyze this chart, and tell me what's missing.

Gray: ... Where's Y/n ? He did say he'd participate too...

Makarov: Precisely. He and mew will play the role of the "Looming threat". They will roam the entire island, and attack anyone they encounter.

Gray: Wait a second !! Doesn't that makes things way worse for all of us ?!

Makarov: Anyone. No matter the side.

Lucy: I think I understand... This is also luck, if him and one of the hard battles can take each other off...

Makarov: he arrived at the island sooner this morning, and has no idea where are the other ones. He also is forbidden from flying above the treeline.

Loki: That makes things pretty even for all of us.

Makarov: NOW LET'S BEGIN !!! EXAM START !!!

"Start... Looks like a few kids lost their ways and ended up here... Better give them a most warm welcome, don't you think ?"

Mew: This is why we're here.
