Fairy Tail: The Fourth Master - Volume 1 Chapter 27
Time skip-Two weeks.
Era, Magic Council Headquarters.
Natsu, wearing the clothes the King of Fiore has given, is currently walking towards stadium prepared for anyone who will undergo the Saint Trials.
He was being lead by a frog-like creature, the very same one that guide him before. They are in a hallway leading towards the stadium.
Both the slayer and the frog walk towards the Center of the arena, after awhile Natsu could see the light in the end of the hallway, when he reaches the end he was in more shocked than ever.
It’s magnificent! Definitely perfect for any Saints to go all-out without having to worry about the damage.
Even though the council are corrupt, he gotta admit, this stadium is truly one of a kind.
Suddenly, the voice of Gran Doma, the chairman of the council, boomed from the top of the stadium.
“WELCOME MASTER DRAGNEEL, TO THE SAINT’S TRIAL!”
Natsu look up and saw Gran Doma standing, though just his avatar, along with the rest of the council, and 8 other individuals sitting just beside them, one of them is Jura Nekis.
“Before we begin, let me introduce you to the rest of the Wizard Saints.”
“The 9th Wizard Saint, Jura Nekis,” Jura gave Natsu a smile and a small bow.
“The 8th Wizard Saint, Kylla Frest,” a woman in her thirties with long green hair and blue eyes smiled and waved at Natsu.
“The 7th Wizard Saint, Julius Mackers,” an arrogant looking young man in his mid-twenties just gave Natsu a disdainful look. He has short black hair and red eyes, along with a long scar from the left side of his forehead down to his right cheek.
“The 6th Wizard Saint, Fiana Aquabell,” a tomboyish 20years old girl with shoulder length blue hair and hazel eyes just scoffed and turned her head.
“The 5th Wizard Saint, as you know, is Fairy Tail’s previous master, Makarov Dreyar.”
“Now, the four strongest Saints, also known as The Four Gods of Ishgar, the one holding the 4th seat, Warrod Sequen.” An old man with the body similar to a tree laughed as he look at Natsu.
“The 3rd seat, Wolfheim,” a very short, older man with a dark green long beard wearing a blue hat with brown rim just look at Gran Doma with impatient look.
“The 2nd seat, Draculus Hyberion,” an older gentleman with clean-cut, dark purple hair, red eyes, a well-groomed, mustache, pointy ears, and a tattoo on his forehead that is reminiscent of a cross.
He was holding a glass with red wine as he gave Natsu a nod.
“And finally, the strongest mage in Ishgar, God Serena.” a man with medium-length, wavy and spiked orange hair that juts out at the top in a shape similar to rabbit ears, he has thick eyebrows and bears a scar over the bridge of his nose.
The moment his name was called, God Serena stood up from his seat and spread his arms, while bending his body body backward before he proceed to laugh.
“*Cough* Now that you have the rest of the Saints, let us proceed to the tests.” Embarrassment can be felt from Gran Doma’s voice, it seems like even him cannot take the attitude of God Serena.
“First, we need to test your Magic Power, to be a Wizard Saint, you need to have a minimum of 5000 magic power.”
Then suddenly the floor where he was standing stared to open up, slowly a weird floating device which encases a small blue orb.
“That is a Magic Power Finder, or MPF for short. If you attack it, a number will be shown, and depending on how strong your attack is, the number also increases. The 9th Wizard Saint Jura after joining have a 6300 points.”
“Now master Dragneel, attack that device with all you got.”
“Got it!”
Natsu began to ponder whether he should use his Titanic-Dragon Form bit decided against it, he needed a trump card and he can’t allow the council to know about it.
He also couldn’t use his God’s and Titan’s flames for the same reason and also because his control over the two is still to little, those flames are a bit weaker than his dragon flames.
‘Dragon Flames it is.’
Natsu swipes his arms in a circular fashion, as a powerful, and highly destructive, torrent of flames that barrages his target.
“Dragon Slayer’s Secret Art!”
“CRIMSON LOTUS: EXPLODING FLAME BLADE!!!”
BOOOM!!
Everyone in the stadium can feel the rapid increase of Temperature, some of them were even uncomfortable and is surprised by the power released by the Dragon Slayer.
Smokes and dusts that covered the arena began to dissipates, and the number that the MPF displays shocked everyone present, well except for the Four Gods of Ishgar.
7900!
The councilor stared at the numbers in shock, the 6th wizard, Fiana Aquabell, angrily glared at Natsu while gritting her teeth and her fist tightly clenched.
Gran Doma quickly snapped out of his shocked but still quite surprised, he even regretted his decision on making Natsu take the test.
“M-Master Natsu passed the first trial, so we shall proceed to the next test. Normally, one will fight the 9th Wizard Saint after they passed the first trial, but since master Natsu’s MPF points is higher than the 6th Wizard Saint, master Natsu shall fight against her.”
“The rules are simple, of Master Natsu could not defeat Miss Fiana, then he shall fight the 7th Wizard Saint, Mister Julius, and if master Natsu still lose then he shall fight the 8th and so on so forth.”
“Now, would Miss Fiana please come to the arena?”
Fiana snorted and jumped down from the top of the stadium, she glared at Natsu, her white wizard saint coat flaps along with the wind.
“Don’t think that you’re so great Dragneel, your points is only 300 more than mine. I can easily kick your ass without putting too much effort! So prepare yourself!”
Gran Doma glance at the fighters as he grinned, ‘So what if I’m bending the rules? That brat having a higher position in Wizard Saints ranking is far too dangerous, damn just what is inside my head when I proposed this?’
“The match will begin in 5 minutes, both fighters please prepare.”
