Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 385: Cheers from the Audience

Chapter 385: Cheers from the Audience

"Hey, did I hear that right? It really is Fairy Tail?"

"A new guild with the same name? They're always at the bottom, yet they not only made it through the brutal preliminaries, but they also got second place?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could Fairy Tail be ranked ahead of Sabertooth?!"

Unlike the enthusiastic cheers and excited screams that erupted when the previous teams came out, the entire audience became incredibly noisy.

Although there wasn't the same mocking booing as in the original story, most people still showed deep disbelief and undisguised astonishment on their faces.

Seven years is neither a long nor a short time; it's enough to change the public's perception of a certain guild.

Especially considering that Fairy Tail participates every year and always comes in last place!

Moreover, even at its peak seven years ago, Fairy Tail's reputation in the magical world wasn't actually that good—"

Of course, there were a very small number of viewers who affirmed this ranking, all of whom had received help from Fairy Tail and truly understood the guild.

However, their voices are insignificant compared to the tens of thousands.

"Damn it, this isn't what I imagined. Where are the voices of support?"

Future Natsu, walking at the front of Team A, saw the audience's reaction and grimaced with extreme displeasure. "We're second place, you know!"

"Haha, hahaha, you really have a high opinion of yourself—."

Standing to the side, Future Lulu awkwardly laughed as she watched Lucy and Eclair stroll around Crocus yesterday. While inside the card, she had already witnessed the guild's reputation.

So, the current situation is definitely considered good.

If they had finished eighth instead of second in the qualifiers, I can hardly imagine what that would have been like!

"Whether there's applause or not doesn't matter at all."

Erza crossed her arms, the Fairy Tail guild flag slung over her shoulder, and glanced at Future Natsu, saying earnestly, "We didn't come to the Grand Magic Games for something so trivial—"

It was for the guild members who had struggled and endured cold shoulders for the past seven years!

"But!" Future Natsu certainly understood this, but he still looked disappointed.

Just then, a powerful cheer rang out from the VIP stands not far away, becoming a ray of light amidst the noise and chaos.

There, Makarov stood with his hands on his hips, waving the Fairy Tail flag with a proud expression. His companions, including Eclair and Misty, cheered loudly, giving Team A their most enthusiastic support.

Because they cannot be exposed, one of their counterparts is outside, while the other remains inside Chase's card.

Despite this, Natsu and the others could still clearly hear the overlapping sounds.

In the future, Warren uses telepathic magic to connect the voices of all the members, creating a unique "internal communication" channel for Fairy Tail.

Furthermore, Chase has enabled full perception of the cards, giving members of both worlds a strong sense of participation, whether they are outside or inside.

It's worth mentioning that Gildarts did not come to Crocus with the main force, but instead stayed behind to guard the guild in Magnolia.

Besides his personal dislike of crowded environments, the more important reason was that Makarov had too much of a psychological trauma related to being an idiot who was extremely prone to getting lost.

If they really bring it over, Crocus City might have its own "Gildarts Mode" for next year's Grand Magic Games!

In terms of being directionally challenged, Chess was clearly more reassuring to Makarov than Kirdas.

"Go, go, Fairy Tail!" x2

Two crisp voices suddenly rang out, "Wait, who are those two people?" Gray's pupils contracted.

Following his gaze, one could see the two original presidents, Mavis, who had been missing for many days and were now ghosts, sitting openly on the edge of the stands.

Their bare feet, dangling in mid-air and swinging back and forth, perfectly captured their excitement and joy.

"The very first generation?!" The two Makarovs were shocked and nearly died of fright.

The Future Macao and the others next to him also had the same shocked expressions.

"We're here to cheer on the guild~" Mavis said with a smile to the crowd.

"Don't worry about the spirit body issue. After all, people without guild crests can't sense our presence~" Future Mavis chimed in with a sweet smile.

"Is this the problem? Where have you been these past few days?" Makarov asked, bewildered.

"I'm so happy to chat with this version of myself in this world! I get to hear all sorts of wonderful stories!"

"Hehe, Fairy Tail in another world is really interesting~"

Looking at the two radiant first generation figures, Makarov and the future Makarov in the card twitched at the corners of their mouths.

You two are happy now, but we almost had to commit seppuku because of this!

Just as I was about to blurt out those harsh words, commentator Chabadi's excited voice, amplified through the microphone, came through first.

"I bet none of you guessed that Fairy Tail would be second in the preliminaries, right? But! But that's not the biggest news of the day!"

"When we received the guild list, even Mr. Yajima and I were quite taken aback!"

Thump, thump, thump.

Almost simultaneously, a thrilling background music began to play in the dimly lit passageway of the martial arts arena, gradually growing louder as it approached.

"Oh right, the winner of the preliminaries hasn't been announced yet!"

"Leaving aside Fairy Tail, which has been at the bottom for years, which guild in the Kingdom of Fiore can actually overpower Sabertooth and Boa Hancock?"

"Was this background music provided by the organizers? It's amazing! I feel like I'm about to burst into flames!!"

The audience's attention was instantly drawn to it.

Even the mages from various guilds who were already standing in the venue held their breath and stared intently at the dark exit.

Erza crossed her arms, a charming smile playing on her lips, thinking to herself, "What an idiot, making such a fuss even for his entrance."

"Hey, really?" Gray belatedly guessed at a possibility.

"Wow, what amazing music! My body is suddenly filled with a continuous flow of energy, and this incredible heat—"

Future Lucy was still wondering about this phenomenon when she caught a glimpse of Future Natsu, who was completely engulfed in flames. "So it was you, you idiot, who caused this?!"

In the brief moments between gasps and dodges, the rousing background music had already resounded throughout the entire venue.

Some viewers who were not good at controlling their emotions began to cheer deafeningly—even though they didn't know which guild was in first place.

Influenced by them, more and more people joined in the cheering, using it as an outlet for the surging passion within them.

"Now, let's give a shout-out to the winner of this Grand Magic Games preliminary round with our utmost passion!"

Chabadi was adept at seizing opportunities; at the height of the atmosphere in the hall, he shouted, "They are—"

"Fairy Tail B Team!!"

"Oh no—wait, what?!?"
