Chapter 10

"Hmm? Is this the answer sheet the screen mentioned?" Accompanied by the sound.

The golden-haired man stopped his forward steps, bent down, and picked up the golden card on the ground.

"Rogue, I didn't expect us to be able to pick up an answer sheet while on a mission." Sting of Sabertooth shouted to the man in the shadows behind him.

"Answer sheet?" Rogue came to Sting's side in response.

He looked at the answer sheet and shook his head with some boredom.

"Forget it, you handle it yourself. I have no interest in this kind of thing."

"You're only interested in Gajeel, right? Gajeel just said he wanted to come and fight us, why didn't you agree?" Sting smiled, then hooked his arm around Rogue's shoulder.

"I already said, Gajeel has been blank for seven years now, he couldn't possibly be our opponent." Rogue shook his head gently.

"That's true too." Sting agreed.

Then he looked at the golden card in his hand.

"Since you're not interested, then I'll play with it."

……

……

The fourth image.

It is a magnificent building complex similar to a hotel.

A Pegasus painted in cyan stands in the garden at the very front of the building complex.

An endless stream of guests comes and goes here.

And, one after another, guild members engraved with the Pegasus logo are wearing formal attire to receive all the guests who come here to post missions.

This is the Black Mage Guild, Blue Pegasus.

Today, a golden light broke into the hall.

It landed on the table in front of a greasy, short man.

"Men~"

Staring at the uninvited golden card, Ichiya frowned slightly and muttered.

The fifth image.

It is a dilapidated manor on a mountainside.

The broken windmill is still running sturdily.

In the small courtyard, there are still a few chickens walking around.

A faint wind blew up the exquisite flag on the top of the manor.

That might be the most magnificent thing in this manor.

It is also the final spiritual sustenance of the Black Mage Guild, Fairy Tail.

At this moment, in the guild, Lucy picked up the golden card on the ground and exclaimed in disbelief:

"Everyone! I think I picked up an answer sheet!"

[Ding!]

At this moment, the prompt sound of the screen rang out again.

[Five candidates for answering have been selected, and the answering will begin soon. Time limit: three minutes.]

[Exceeding three minutes will be considered an automatic abstention.] ===== CHAPTER 23 =====

[Five candidates for answering have been selected.]

[They are Lucy Heartfilia from the Fairy Tail guild.]

[Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki from the Blue Pegasus guild.]

[Rustyrose from the former Grimoire Heart.]

[Sting Eucliffe from the Sabertooth guild.]

[And, Irene Belserion, one of the Spriggan 12 from the Alvarez Empire!]

The images of the five people were frozen within the white border of the screen.

Makarov: "Alvarez Empire? How did even they appear?"

Jura: "And it's one of the Spriggan 12. This is indeed worth paying attention to."

Alvarez Empire, Ajeel: "Hehe, don't worry. We don't have much interest in this so-called comparison broadcast."

Alvarez Empire, Dimaria: "That's true. We were just holding a wait-and-see attitude, but I didn't expect this answering segment to involve Lady Irene."

Alvarez Empire, August: "Let's not worry about that anymore. Since she has been selected, let's answer quickly. Time is running out."

"I also want to know, what exactly is this so-called reward?"

August's words brought everyone's focus back to the question itself.

Grimoire Heart, Hades: "Yes, why hesitate? Rustyrose, choose B. I see that the kid has some talent, but it's definitely not exaggerated to the point of being able to learn it after one look."

Rustyrose: "B? I understand."

Ichiya: "B also feels a bit exaggerated. Men~ I don't deny Natsu-san's talent, but I think there is no one in this world who is a genius capable of learning it after one look, right?"

Blue Pegasus, Hibiki: "Ichiya-dono is right. Throughout history, there are almost no geniuses who can learn super high-difficulty magic after one look. Even that Black Black Mage from four hundred years ago couldn't do it."

Brain: "So, that option C is truly outrageous."

Bob: "Ichiya, answer quickly, time is running out."

Ichiya: "Men~ In my opinion, it should be D. As far as I know, Natsu-san is quite humorous, so it wouldn't be strange for him to make such a move."

Natsu: "That's only not strange in your opinion, right?!!!"

Sabertooth, Sting: "Sure enough, you guys who aren't Dragon Slayers can't evaluate Dragon Slayer Magic."

"Let me tell you, this question should be A! The super high difficulty of Dragon Slayer Magic is something you can't imagine at all. Even Rogue and I couldn't understand it the first time we learned it."

Rogue: "Yes, and as far as I know, Natsu-san's IQ doesn't seem to be very high. It's not easy to understand such difficult things."

Natsu: "??? You bastard, who are you saying has a low IQ?"

"Also, are you looking down on me that much?"

Lector: "White world, that is, the Natsu of our world, isn't that exactly how he is? He only managed to spit out a wisp of flame after learning for three months!"

Natsu: "……"

Sting: "So, the answer is very clear, it's A. In the end, he could only spit saliva all over the ground."

Irene: "Watching you discuss it is quite interesting, so I'll just pick one."

After saying that, Irene casually chose her option using the answer sheet in her hand.

Option B.

Then Irene put on her sunglasses again and leisurely enjoyed her free time.

As for these matters on the screen.

In the Alvarez Empire Palace, she still had her thought projection discussing with the other twelve shields.

She is currently on vacation, and you want her to work while on vacation?

How is that possible!

Irene expressed great disdain.

As for the reward from the screen?

To be honest, Irene has lived for four hundred years. With her strength,

In almost every place in this world, all kinds of strange things, rare treasures, and so on.

What hasn't Irene seen?

Not to mention that at Irene's current level, there are very few things in this world that can move her.

For the most part, in her view, it's just that.

Therefore, she didn't care about the reward; it was just that the answer sheet appeared in her hand.

She was just participating out of curiosity.

Now, four people have already made their answers.

Only Lucy in the Fairy Tail guild remains.

Raising her head, Lucy looked at Natsu, who was already so angry that he was losing his mind.

She twitched the corner of her mouth: "Um, then I'll choose C."

"Lucy, are you really going to waste this answer sheet opportunity?" Happy looked at Lucy in horror. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
