"All spectators in the venue can watch the situation in the town through the crystal projection above!"
"The contestants in the arena will absolutely not perceive any situation of the opponent! They are like black cats hidden in the dark night, lurking silently."
"Stealth - Match Start!!!"
Jabba Droll finished speaking and stared at the screen with full confidence. He was very confident, after all, they had discussed these game rules many times.
All the contestants on the screen were now on high alert, like facing a formidable enemy, carefully distinguishing the nearby mannequins.
"Ah~ It really is true, this mannequin looks exactly like me!"
Mermaid Heel's Beth exclaimed in surprise, lightly tapping one of her own mannequins with her finger.
However, when she looked around and saw the ground full of mannequins identical to herself, she couldn't help but wonder, "But where should I hide?"
"I understand, so that's what it is..." Blue Pegasus's Eve gazed at the mannequins around him that were indistinguishable from himself, a confident smile playing on the corners of his mouth.
Immediately after, he turned without hesitation and walked towards a corner.
The camera followed his figure, only to be surprised to find that Eve's figure had also disappeared into the crowd in an instant.
On the other side, Grimoire Heart's Dirokatyro agilely leaped onto a house, and at the same time, several fierce wolves suddenly darted out from the side, baring their fangs and claws, menacingly, and crisscrossed in flight, obscuring his figure.
....
"Oh my god, a huge crowd suddenly appeared!" Lucy widened her eyes, staring at the crowd on the big screen with a look of astonishment, unable to distinguish which one was the real person for a moment.
"Ugh... so disgusting, I want to throw up..." Natsu, who had been somewhat excited, now directly vomited.
After all, seeing so many Grays appear on the screen at the same time really made him recall some unbearable past events!
"Huh? You're going to throw up at this too, Natsu?" Elfman asked with a puzzled expression, but still showed concern.
"Because seeing too many Grays makes me feel too disgusted..." Natsu endured the discomfort, explaining haltingly.
"We're so far away, it's really hard to tell clearly! But I firmly believe they'll be fine!" Erza smiled slightly, a hint of indifference on her lips, but her eyes were exceptionally bright and sharp.
"Wah ah ah ah~~~ So many Lord Grays, I, Juvia, really want to rush up... Lord Gray!!" Juvia instantly bloomed with joy, her eyes filled with adoration, and her body involuntarily leaned forward, as if wanting to rush out of the audience seats.
"Be careful... Juvia! Calm down..." Mirajane, quick-witted, pulled her back, smiling as she comforted her.
"Seriously, this guy really is..."
Gajeel crossed his arms over his chest, looking at Juvia's appearance, truly unable to bear to look directly.
However, when he stealthily cast his gaze towards Fairy Tail's seats, he unexpectedly met Levy's smiling eyes.
In an instant, Gajeel's face turned as red as a ripe apple.
"How can you tell the difference..." Future Lucy stared at the screen, looking bewildered.
She couldn't help but start worrying about the contestants below. In that match seven years later, Gray was on the field, and Juvia was on the field in the other team.
Now that it was Wendy, her worry increased a few points.
After all, that match seven years ago was exceptionally difficult, and although the participating teams were different now, she still held her breath for them.
"It's really troublesome, I can only detect such a short distance... *yawn*~"
Gray walked around casually with his hands in his pockets, unconsciously yawning.
To be honest, with the existence of Observation Haki, this kind of competitive event was really meaningless.
But there was no other way, who made his Observation Haki detection range limited? He could only personally walk through the entire town.
Just then, a figure suddenly flashed out in the distance, placing his hands on the ground.
"Hehe, success! Terrain Effect - Gravity Zone!!!" An invisible gravity instantly and precisely applied itself towards Gray.
Gyosuke happily thought he had succeeded, but the next moment, a huge force came from his waist.
"What... when!" With a cry of surprise, Gyosuke himself was directly smashed into the nearby building.
"Sorry, this kind of magic doesn't work on me!"
Gray retracted his foot, saying with full confidence.
After all, after the strict special training from that "guy," if he couldn't even detect this level of attack, then hadn't he been training in vain all these days?
He didn't dare to imagine what kind of punishment he would suffer after the match ended.
Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.
He clearly thought of Zorn's peculiar taste; when he was a child, he and Natsu held hands all day long, all thanks to that guy.
Thinking of this, the feeling of nausea welled up again.
"What on earth is going on... The first win goes to Gray of Fairy Tail!!! Plus one point"
"He was able to disappear from the spot instantly... and he seemed to have foreseen the attack!!"
"I've seen it again... and it's still so magical..." Jabba Droll stared at the screen, trying to explain the situation's development to Everyone, but in the face of such a scene, he was also at a loss.
The spectators outside the arena were even more astonished at this moment; they clearly noticed that the moment Gyosuke cast his magic.
Gray was clearly still standing steadily in his original spot, and his feet had already begun to move, but before they could see clearly, he disappeared without a trace in just an instant.
"There are many ways to find the enemy, but this method of foreseeing the enemy's attack is truly unfathomable no matter how many times you observe it!" "I have to admit, Fairy Tail truly lives up to its status as the kingdom's top guild!" Councilman Yajima praised with a beaming smile.
The other guilds all looked somewhat solemn at this moment; although they had witnessed it in the preliminary rounds before.
But now, watching it at such a close distance and with such high clarity, they felt it more deeply and clearly.
"It's really tricky..."
Just then, a hearty laugh came.
Third Guild Master Makarov stood by the railing, looking at the battle below, and laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, see that? This is the true strength of our Fairy Tail! Hahahaha!"
The other members of Fairy Tail also cheered loudly, rooting for the battle below.
All of this seemed to be expected, after all, they had absolute confidence in their guild's strength.
Meanwhile, beside them, First Guild Master Mavis leisurely swung her legs, and the cute cowlick on her head swayed left and right with her movements.
A happy smile bloomed on her face, clearly very satisfied with the current situation.
This is....
So strong... even stronger than Gray seven years later.
Future Lucy stared blankly at Gray on the screen, sighing in her heart.
