Your POV:

Mavis: The Grand Magic games have begun, at last ! Now, we're going to go over the rules again with everybody, so please pay attention.

Mew: So, the participants are made up of "up to 5-man" teams from each guild. But based on what Porlyusica said, it's to be guessed that there are going to be reserve members.

Mavis: I hope Wendy can join the event... Even if that means we'd lose firepower. But back to the rules, please.

Mew: Of course. There were 8 teams in total that made it through the preliminary event to enter the main part of the tournament. But, our Fairy Tail makes up 2 of those teams ! Suck it, haters !!

Mavis: Topic, please !

Mew: Meh. The rest of the teams aren't really important, so we're just skipping over them.

Mavis: Okay, moving on then.

Jet/Droy: Is that really okay ?!

Mew: I'm sorry, we don't give a fuck. The tournament will take place over 5 days, with a program as follow. For each day, a contest part and a battle part.

Mavis: For the contest part, each team is free to choose their own participant out of their members. For the battle part, the event organizer will decide the participant using battle cards. Instead of ranking places, the points will be distributed based on who wins and who loses. At the end of the 5 days, the team with the most points will be the winner !! Give 'em your best, Fairy Tail !!

"Get back to the tournament !"

Mew: Annd back to the tournament !


Jager: Damn... Hidden or not... How the fuck are you supposed to find your opponents in this ?!

Juvia: G- Gray-Sama !! So many Gray-Sama !! With this many of him... It should be fine if I take just one for myself...

*BEEP*

Juvia: KYAAAAHN !!

Chapati: Look at this, Juvia has attacked a copy and lost one point. To handle with this, we will wait 10 seconds, after which we will restart the game in a different area. If this happens to any other mages, we will do the same. Deduct one point, wait 10 seconds, and restart in a different area.

Gajeel: That idiot.

Mirajane: This is probably not going to be easy for Juvia...

Chapati: As long as time is left on the clock, the game can be repeated as many times as needed. The time limit is 30 minutes, the team with the most points wins !

Gray: So the real challenge here isn't hiding... It's figuring out a way to find.

Nullpudding: Well, well, well, well... Now, if only you had grasped the rules a little bit earlier, hmm ?

Gray: Who's there ?!!

Nullpudding: Raven Tail's... Nullpudding. Heeheehee...

Gray: Well, it looks like you've got me, here... And saved me the trouble of finding you !! ICE HAMMER !!!

Droy: OOHHH !!

Jet: This is different from all the creation magic we've seen up 'till now !!

Happy: This is the result of our training.

Mew: ... What training exactly ?

Gray: I believe... This counts as a point ?

*BEEP*

Gray: What ?! What's going on...

Nullpudding: Heeheehee ! Too bad there... That was a copy, hm ?

Natsu: WHA... THE REAL ONE WAS BEHIND HIM ?!

Gray: G- AAAAAAAAAH !! 'Shit ! He got me ! I get it... That's what he did ! He carefully maneuvered with one of his copies close to his opponent... A plan like this is definitely an option... But as long as I can identify my opponent, I can score on them with a surprise attack. And as long as I act exactly like a copy, they won't be able to identify me. So, this is hidden.

Lucy: Everyone has blended into the crowd.

Natsu: How are they supposed to find anybody like this ?!

"I am still positive that shadow sneak would've been utterly overpowered here."

Erza: All it takes is one mistake to give yourself away to your opponent.

Gray: 'Which one is the enemy ? Which one is real ?'

Nullpudding: Gray sir. Found you !!

Gray: GWAAAH !!

Natsu: Gray !

"Wait, how'd he know ?!

Gray: You... You went for me again...

Nullpudding: What's wrong with that, hm ?


Chapati: The first game continues in the completely silent battlefield. Hidden !! Right off the bat, Raven Tail's Nullpudding has taken the lead !! In this field filled with copies of their enemies and themselves... How are they gonna find out which are their real opponents ?!

Yajima: There's plenty of methods available... For example, they could sense their enemy's magical presence...

Jenny: Hmph... I'm sure Eve will think of a much more incredible way...

"Even considering sensing the magic, there's more than a handful ways of doing it. The problem is finding one specifically..."

Natsu: Gray !! What are you doing ?! You are letting the same guy get you twice !!


Gray: 'Shit ! Come on... Get it together.'

Beth: CARROT MISSILE !!

Gray: WOAAH !!

Beth: Huhh... It missed... KYAAAAH !!

Gray: Okay, what the hell ?!

Jager: HAHAA !! I saw you using magic !! NGROAAAH !!

Lyon: I saw it, too. Found you, Gray.

Juvia: Gray-Sama !!

Gray: Juvia !!

Lyon: H... her panties... BUGAAH !!

Gray: Hey, hey !! No need to touch him...

Lyon: What a sight... Gphhh...

Juvia: I know... I'm going to defeat you. I promised master...

Gray: You promised the old man ?

Juvia: Yes...


Gajeel: Are you serious ?! Who the hell would do that ?!

Laxus: I don't care who goes, but I don't like the idea of B team.

"Give you 'Second' vibes, and you just can't accept it ?"

Laxus: Part of that...

Makarov: Then how about this ? The team that loses has to do whatever the winning team wants for a day.

Pantherlily: Or to put it another way, the losing team has to go through a punishment game.

Laxus: Whatever...

Laxus: Go buy me a sandwich.

Natsu: Yes, Laxus sir !

Gajeel: We want ?

Gajeel: Dance. Shoobeedoobaa~

Lucy: Yes, sir !

Mirajane: How interesting...

Mirajane: Grill ma some mackerel with salt.

Erza: yes, ma'am.

"Wait a second, that left..."

Wendy: S- Stop it please ! That hurts !

"Listen, if you stopped squirming like that, maybe it wouldn't. You know it's my first time doing this kind of thing, too. I need to practice before I can try it with Erza."

Wendy: U- Aaaaah ! Stop !

"I'm going as slowly and gently as I can, Wendy. You already asked that I do it from behind you, so stop complaining."

Wendy: W- Why me ?

"You and Erza are similar on that. And don't worry, I took precautions. Even once i'm done, there won't be a change."

Wendy: ... i'm sure there are some sort of toys for that...

"I need live reactions to know what I'm eventually doing wrong. Good thing it's already wet, it helps a lot... Hairdressing really is something more complicated than it appears..."

Wendy: Do we really have similar hair ?

"Be it length or texture, yes. Now stay still, i'm almost done with the unraveling, so it shouldn't hurt anymore."

Wendy: O- Okay...

Juvia: Whatever we want... Then that means...

Gray: Well, if it's a punishment game... Then I guess I have to... Now, close your eyes...

Juvia: Okay.


Gray: HEY, ARE YOU SERIOUS ?!! Hey, old man !! this is the first time I've heard of this ! Why apply this local rule just to our team ?!

Makarov: W... Well, you know...

Natsu: This'll be fun...

Natsu: Act like Happy.

Laxus/Gajeel: Aye sir !

"... Pffr..."

Juvia: So I won't lose !

Gray: Bring it !

Nullpudding: Hihihi. Caught you, fairies !!

"He got them again ?! That bastard..."

Gray: What the heck is with him ?!

Beth: ... Snow ?

Chapati: What do we have here ?! Snow's falling in the town ?!

Jenny: Eve...

"What, does he think they will get weak in the cold or something ? ... ACHOO !!"

Ichiya: That's not it ! In this cold, humans will shiver, and you can see their breath...

Ren: How will they deal with this...

Hibiki: That's the idea...

Eve: I see it. THERE !!

*Ding*

*Ding*

*Ding*

Chapati: Eve is just snatching up point after point !! But it looks like Lyon has launched his counterattack !!

Lyon: Too bad for you, but cold never bothered me anyway.

Eve: I figured so much ! Now let it go !

Chapati: Elsewhere, it looks like the quietness of the town continues...

Nullpudding: Found you !

Gray: Dammit, that chin bastard !! Why are you only coming after me ?!

Chapati: Rufus or Sabertooth hasn't moved at all... he isn't catching anyone, but he's not being caught by anyone either.

Rufus: This challenge is far too simple. I remember perfectly, the nuance of your movements, your footsteps, your magical presences' signature...

Lucy: What is he doing up there ?!

Natsu: GRAY ! ABOVE YOU !!

"It's like he's saying 'I've found all of you !'..."

Rufus: I remember... I remember it all... Memory make...

Erza: Creation magic ?!

Nullpudding: Hihihi... You're sticking out like a sore thumb !!

Nullpudding: crap ! A copy ?!

Rufus: That was a memory of me standing there. I have no need for decoys.

Nullpudding: WOOOAHH !

Chapati: He... He got them all !! In one instant, he took the lead !! That's the power of Rufus !! That's the power of Sabertooth !!

Rufus: This challenge isn't interesting at all, organizers. So I have no need to hide whatsoever. Even if I were to be found, I wouldn't be able to be hit... What's left of me there is just a memory, after all...

"... So there was something to back up that royalty act, after all..."

Gray: Creation magic ?!

Lyon: I'd heard rumors of it... But I see it really is fearsome...

Gray: He's not even playing by the rules of Hidden... That bastard is toying with us...

Gray: ... Again ?!

Lucy: That guy.. Instead of going after the opponent who's already exposing himself...

Erza: He's just coming after us...


Chapati: And that's the end of it !! These are the standings !! This is just the first event, so these rankings can still change at any time.

Chapati: Just as we expected, first place goes to Sabertooth !! An amazing performance !! Too bad for both Fairy Tail's teams, they come in behind. Perhaps there's hope for next round.

Crowd: I KNEW THEY WERE WEAK !! THOSE FAIRY TAIL GUYS !! LAST AS ALWAYS !! FACE IT, YOUR TIME IS OVER, FAIRY TAIL !!

Natsu: WHAT THE HELL IS SO FUNNY, SHITHEADS ?! HUH ?!

Crowd: Uwaah, he snapped ! How scaaary ! Hyahahaha !! look at him whining !!

Erza: Forget it. If thew want to laugh, let them laugh.

"At least we learned two think today. First, raven Tail's gonna be a massive pain in the ass. Second, Sabertooth deserve their spot and fame. It's time to crank up the heat a bit."

Gray: ... i'm sorry.

Lucy: it's okay. it's just the first round.

Chapati: We'll be entering the battle part next. If we call your name, please step forward.

Gray: 'Raven Tail... Creation magic... I swear... I'll get them back for this...'

Chapati: Let's take a look at the battle part's system. Each team will be paired up like a tournament.

Crowd: The matchups were decided by the organizers. I hope there are some interesting matchups...

Chapati: And down on the event grounds, the battle is about to begin ! The first match of day one !! Fairy Tail A's Lucy Heartfillia... VS, Raven Tail's Flare Corona !

Lucy: Me ?!

Flare: Blondie...
