Petrel

Chapter 32

You know, usually we in Fairy Tail are used to the fact that the council, when it comes to us, except for fines, always works extremely slowly, but this time, thanks to Ultear, everything was resolved in literally half a day! And I really wanted to kick Gadgil at night, reminding him who is the eldest in our company of dragon slayers, otherwise all the fun will go to Elsa.

- Hey Master, are you ready? - I asked the master who for some reason had been preening himself in his office for half an hour as if he was going to watch not the beating of an old enemy, but a wedding.

- Yes, of course, forward! - the master commanded, but I still don't understand what he was doing all this time, because he came out in his usual ceremonial robe. - Although, stop. Where's Charlie? You're not going to take her with you?

- She said she would stay home. - My friend shrugged, clearly not realizing that our cat-girl was no longer little and had been spying on us on particularly hot nights for a long time. Oh, but our Charlie is really good in human form. - Wendy, stop daydreaming and come closer, I'll teleport us.

- Yes, yes, I'm already on my way, - I broke away from my dreams about our rapidly growing, as is proper for cats, foster child.

Where are we teleporting to? Well, it's obvious. To the arena where the duel between Elsa and Jose will take place. It's strange, isn't it, that this coward didn't run away or does he really think that he is strong enough to resist Elsa? If so, then he is a complete idiot, we, not counting magic, specially developed our bodies so that we could kill Acnologia with purely physical force, which is too problematic to try to kill with magical attacks, and here is an old geezer who, although God's chosen one, at the same time resembles an evil version of the postman Pechkin more than a really dangerous enemy.

- Good afternoon. I ask the spectators to come to the stands. - Some bespectacled magic knight greeted us and added looking at Elsa. - The fighter can stay in the arena as the battle will begin soon.

- Hey Elsa, don't take too long, just crush his face into a mess and then we'll go home. - Stopping briefly in front of the entrance to the inner part of the arena stands, which looked like a coliseum.

- Don't worry, I won't hit him with magic, but I'll deal with him quickly, and now go on. - My friend waved her hand at me so that I wouldn't waste time. Well, seeing how Elsa was burning with impatience to beat Jose's face, how could I put it off even a moment longer?

So a minute later, walking through dimly lit corridors, we reached our box. The Malkovich family was already waiting for us there, the magic council in full force and, oddly enough, the king and princess. Well, even though I didn't know the etiquette, I still ignored the magic council and greeted the ruler of Fiore with a bow.

- Hello, your Majesty, it is a great honor for me that you and the princess came to watch such an important battle for our guild. - The master took the floor.

- Hahaha, it's okay, no need to bow, but regardless of the outcome of the battle, I hope that we can find a peaceful solution to the problem, after all, Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord are the strongest guilds in our country.

- Your Majesty, I'm sorry, of course, but this is not a question that can be resolved peacefully. Phantom Lord has repeatedly secretly attacked our guildmates on missions, and only the lack of direct evidence and the law stopped us from taking revenge. However, the attack on the guild building was the last straw, and we can no longer tolerate the existence of this vile guild.

- I understand. - The king was clearly upset, but having regained his good mood he added. - Let everything be decided in a breathtaking fight between the strongest wizards!

And as if on cue, clearly expecting the end of the discussion of the situation with the king, the servants came out and escorted us to our seats, and the reporter known throughout the country began broadcasting as a commentator.

- Attention everyone! Today I, Jason, will be the host of such a breathtaking event as a duel between the strongest mages of the two best guilds of Fiore! And so on one side we have a representative of Fairy Tail, the charming Fairy Queen Elsa Belserion! And on the other side one of the ten holy mages of our beautiful country, as well as the master of the Phantom Lord Guild, Jose Porla! The stakes in this battle are higher than ever, because the guild of the losing side will be dissolved!

- Girl, I don't know what that fool Makarov is thinking, but you shouldn't have stood in my way.

- Don't worry, out of the slightest respect for you as an old man, I still won't castrate you.

- And now, by the right given to me, I declare! TO FIGHT!

As soon as the command to begin the battle was given, Elsa, without waiting for the actions of the phantom lord master, activated a magic circle that filled the entire arena. - Anti-Magic Zone!

- As soon as the last sound left her lips, the magical kurg with the enemy's clearly strong dark spell almost ready simply disappeared. Oh, that shocked face of Jose, how good it is that there are so many photographers here and at least a couple of smart daredevils were found who took a picture of this.

- What have you done! - Jose growled angrily.

- You know, I'm seriously starting to doubt your mental abilities, I literally said the name of the spell out loud and it completely reflects its essence, But it doesn't matter, it's time to turn you into a cutlet anyway. - Having finished the last words, Elsa abruptly pushed off the ground, leaving only a light trace of her foot in it despite the force of the jump, and instantly found herself in front of her opponent, slamming her fist right into Jose's nose, it would really be interesting to watch something like this in slow mo, his face seemed to have bent inward for a moment, but thanks to the physique of the chosen one, he got off with only a broken nose, but Elsa didn't leave him that easily, and despite the fact that she made the blows specially weak so as not to kill, she literally drove Jose into the wall of the arena. The audience could clearly see only the smeared stripes from how fast Elsa hit, and then a minute later she stepped back and turned off the spell that suppressed all the magic that came out of the bodies, and in the wall you could see Jose, whose face was a solid bloody mass, however, although he was unconscious, he was still barely alive.

- Incredibly, in just a minute, the representative of Fairy Tail literally destroyed the enemy in an overwhelming manner, but it seems that the master of the former Phantom Lord guild urgently needs medical help!
