Chapter 278

"Ye Yu, Little Erza, you guys are also here to participate in the Grand Magic Games, right?"

Millianna asked, looking at Ye Yu and Erza's group.

"Yeah!"

Ye Yu nodded.

After receiving Ye Yu's confirmation, Millianna was immediately overjoyed: "That means we're opponents this time. If we meet on the field, we won't hold back, meow!"

Hearing Millianna's words, Ye Yu and Erza's group just smiled and didn't answer.

However, just as Ye Yu was about to say something, Warren's telepathy suddenly came into his mind.

"Ye Yu, Erza, Hearing Wendi, Mira, Natsu, Gray, can you hear me?"

"The Master has finished the paperwork here, please arrive at the Honeybone Inn before 12 o'clock!"

Hearing Warren's words, Ye Yu and Erza's group looked at each other.

Seeing the expressions of Erza, Hearing Wendi, and Mirajane, Ye Yu knew that they had also heard Warren's telepathy.

"Kagura, Millianna, sorry, we have to go to the designated location to gather!"

Ye Yu said to Kagura and Millianna before him.

"Okay, then we'll see you on the field!"

After bidding farewell to Kagura and Millianna, Ye Yu and Erza's group headed toward the Honeybone Inn.

"Designated time, designated location, what on earth does the organizer want to do?"

While walking, Erza showed a thoughtful expression.

Perhaps Erza didn't know why the organizer was doing this, but Ye Yu knew.

According to what Ye Yu knew, these Grand Magic Games were different from the past; before the official competition, a preliminary round would be held.

And this Honeybone Inn was the starting point for the preliminary round.

12 o'clock was the time the preliminary round would begin.

The content of the preliminary round was for the participating mages of each guild to start from their respective starting points and then pass through a huge aerial maze.

The first 8 teams to pass through the aerial maze and reach the official competition venue would successfully advance to the official competition.

Ye Yu possessed Space Magic; he could take Erza and the others and arrive at the finish line instantly.

This preliminary round was nothing to Ye Yu's group.

Of course, the content and rules of the Grand Magic Games were only announced after the competition began.

So, besides Ye Yu, probably only the organizer knew about this.

"Hmm~?"

Just as Ye Yu and Erza's group were walking, he suddenly sensed several unfriendly gazes from behind.

Ye Yu glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"What's wrong?"

Mirajane noticed this unusual reaction from Ye Yu, and after asking casually, she also looked in the direction of Ye Yu's gaze.

Soon, Ye Yu and Mirajane saw five mages looking at them with playful expressions.

The moment he saw these five mages, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.

And Mirajane's beautiful face changed.

"Raven Tail?!"

Indeed, the five mages appearing in the view of Ye Yu and Mirajane's group were the Raven Tail guild, led by Ivan.

"Sister Mira, do you know them?"

Seeing the expression on Mirajane's face, Hearing Wendi asked curiously.

"I only know one; the man leading them is the Master's son, Laxus's father!"

Mirajane answered Hearing Wendi.

"That's strange, isn't Raven Tail a Dark Guild? Why would they appear here?"

Erza looked at Ivan and the five others, full of confusion.

This was the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore; any mage guild appearing in the capital at this time must be here to participate in the Grand Magic Games.

But Erza knew that Dark Guilds were not allowed to participate in the Grand Magic Games.

Yet now, Raven Tail, a Dark Guild, was appearing openly on the streets of the capital, so Erza naturally felt surprised.

"They must have used some means to convert into a legal guild!"

Ye Yu looked at Ivan and the others and said calmly.

After saying that, Ye Yu and Erza's group ignored Ivan and the others and turned to leave.

"Hehehe, Fairy Tail, this is getting interesting!"

Ivan looked at the backs of Ye Yu and Erza's group as they left, a cold, sinister smile appearing on his face.

Afterward, a monster the size of a fist appeared on Ivan's shoulder.

"Follow these four people, I want to give Makarov a welcoming gift!"

Following Ivan's order, the pitch-black little monster turned into a shadow and instantly chased after Ye Yu and Erza's group.

However, just as the monster approached Ye Yu's group, a cluster of crimson flames suddenly appeared on its body.

In an instant, the monster turned into ashes.

"..."

Seeing this eerie scene, Ivan's old face suddenly changed.

And Ye Yu, who hadn't even turned his head once, had the corners of his mouth curl up.

Clearly, it was Ye Yu who had taken action to burn the monster to death.
