Chapter 909: Pondering
Kouha showed his power in front of Laxus and became the winner, but the show must continue.
The next match would be a match between Wendy and Sherria, Haru didn't have this preference, but he was sure that there would be a lot of people who loved this match since it was a match between loli.
Haru looked at Shinobu and thought that she had become taller and her body also grew bigger in some places. He had to admit that in one year, she had become a very beautiful girl.
"What's wrong?" Shinobu asked with a blush.
Haru shook his head and said, "Nothing." He looked at Esdeath and asked, "You're not going to close my eyes?" He remembered during the match between Mirajane and Jenny, his eyes were closed, but this time, she didn't do anything.
"You have an interest in a little girl?" Esdeath asked.
"No."
"Then, what should I worry about?"
"..."
Esdeath knew that Haru was a b.r.e.a.s.t maniac and she didn't think that he had an interest in a little girl.
Haru felt complicated by this trust and somehow he wasn't happy, but he didn't intend to make it into an argument since the match between Wendy and Sherria was about to start.
Wendy was a Sky Dragon Slayer and Sherria was a Sky God Slayer. Both of them had mastered "Lost Magic" and both of them were also mastering the same magic elements.
However, there could be only one winner between them.
Looking at Chapati who had lost his hair, but his excitement was very high. Haru sighed and wondered how someone could become a lolicon since he couldn't understand the charm of the loli character.
But of course, his love for Sora wasn't being included on lolicon since Sora wasn't that small and even her build might not be that big, but she wasn't someone who could be called a loli.
Anyway, enough of that self-talking since the match had ended with a draw and both Wendy and Sherria had gotten 5 points each.
With their match, the third day of the "Grand Magic Games" concluded and the result of the points of each team was announced.
Infinite A with 56 points; Infinite B with 48 points; Mermaid Heel with 30 points; Lamia Scale with 27 points; Infinite C with 21 points; Fairy Tail B with 20 points; Blue Pegasus with 17 points; Fairy Tail A with 11 points.
'2nd place, huh?'
Haru looked in the direction of Infinite A and he just happened to match Kuroneko's eyes.
Kuroneko smiled and seemed to tell him that she had won.
"..........."
Haru was speechless, but he wasn't in a hurry. He had calculated the loss of Gintoki and for tomorrow, he knew that an error was about to happen on Kuroneko's team.
After the third event, everyone returned to the lodging.
Haru was thinking about his power. He felt that from everyone in this world, he lacked a technique that could become his trademark. Rather than calling him a specialist, most of his ability, technique, and magic turned him into a jack-of-all-trades. It might not be bad, but he didn't really like it since he lacked something which could become his identity.
'Pleasure magic?'
Haru didn't want to be labeled as a pervert and he hoped for other's techniques. His gravity magic might be good but compared to Kouha, who focussed all of his power and time to train his gravity manipulation and magic. He knew that he lost against Kouha in terms of gravity, magic, or manipulation.
Then what about light magic? Haru thought of mastering it before, but he felt that light magic was useless in front of Sting.
Sting was a Light Dragon Slayer which enabled him to eat any kind of light.
Light magic was good for a trick during the battle such as an illusion or blinding the enemy. Even though the light was more than that, it was more complicated than he had thought to develop his light magic.
"Horo Horo no Mi", "Kiss", "Sticky Fingers", "Jewelry Bonney's power", etc.
Haru knew that he was powerful, but he felt that he lacked something. Thinking about the member of the "group chat", he could tell that everyone was focussed on one area such as Esdeath with her ice, Kouha with her gravity, Teppei with his plant, Korosensei with his speed, Kuroneko with his lightning, Shinobu with her poison, Luffy with his body's technique, etc.
Haru thought that his position on the "group chat" was similar to an assassin since he mostly used his "Sticky Fingers" during a fight and he also often fought on the close-distance.
However, in the end, he shook his head and thought that it was better to cook something first since everyone had a party with the result of the event.
'I wonder what kind of prize I might get after this quest...'
"Haru, I want more meat!"
Luffy latched his neck around Haru and wanted to steal the meat from the grill, but he was stopped.
"It isn't ready yet," Haru said with a strict expression.
In the lodging where Fairy Tail stayed, everyone had a party together. Even though the result of the event wasn't that good, they would give up so easily. They would have never given up and showed the Kingdom of Fiore that they were the strongest guild in this kingdom!
Kagura was looking at the starry sky. Gritting her teeth when she had met the most loathed person that she had ever seen in her life. She hated that person and wanted to kill him right away since that person was the one who had taken the life of her big brother. But at the same time, she was wondering why that man was on the Fairy Tail.
Kagura took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She thought about last year when she went together with Haru talking about a lot of things.
Kagura somehow missed those times when Haru did a lot of stupid things and teased her while also telling her about a lot of things in life. She pondered and thought about meeting him. Even though she knew that he had a wife, this matter was different and she didn't want to give up that easily.
"Wh - What am I talking about?!"
Kagura blushed and there was no way that she admitted that she fell for that sc.u.mbag!
Kuroneko, Teppei, Korosensei, and Kouha gathered together while eating spaghetti and pizza. They had an upper hand against Haru's team and of course, they wanted to beat them, but tomorrow's they had an unexpected factor.
Luffy wanted to join tomorrow's event!
It was big news for all of them, especially when they knew that tomorrow's event was an event related to water.
Luffy had never read or watched any anime, manga, or movie on the "group chat" and it was also the reason why he didn't know about tomorrow's event.
"What should we do?" Kuroneko asked.
Teppei and Kouha were silent and looked at Korosensei.
"Me?" Korosensei asked.
The three of them nodded at the same time.
Korosensei pondered and said, "Well, why don't we let him?"
"What?" 3x
"I mean, we're on the upper hand, and in the end, all of those points are useless since the winner is going to be decided on the last day," Korosensei said.
"It's okay to lose once and it might also become a good lesson for Luffy."
Hearing Korosensensei's proposal, Kouha and Teppei didn't mind it too much since they also knew that they had upperhand on the last event in this "Grand Magic Games", especially with Korosensei in their team.
Korosensei's speed was almost cheating itself.
Kuroneko thought for a while and nodded. "I agree, but I really hope that Luffy can be smart sometimes."
Luffy was quite reliable to fight against someone, but for something which uses a mind? That guy was useless.
They knew that tomorrow's match would be a disaster.
