Fairy Tail: I Can Analyze Everything Chapter 91 91: Harvest Festival Competition

The Harvest Festival is Magnolia's grandest annual celebration.

The entire city was imrsed in a festive atmosphere; the streets were decorated with lanterns and strears, and citizens dressed in their finest clothes with smiles on their faces could be seen everywhere.

As the only Wizard guild in Magnolia, Fairy Tail participated in the parade every year, performing spectacular magic shows and hosting the highly anticipated beauty contest.

But this year, things were different!

Master Ron, who had been busy in the city for several days, finally returned to the guild.

Standing before the second-floor railing, Ron looked down with a smile at all the guild mbers gathered there.

"Everyone, the sa old parade and beauty contest are just too boring, so—"

"For this year's Harvest Festival, let's do sothing different."

Ron spread his arms, his voice reaching everyone's ears clearly.

"A tournant!!"

"Let us, Fairy Tail, kick off this year's Harvest Festival with a magnificent tournant!!"

As his voice fell, a brief silence was followed by a tsunami of cheers!

"Hell yeah!!"

"A tournant?! That sounds aweso!!"

"Ahaahaha, I'm all fired up now!!"

A pillar of fire erupted from Natsu's mouth as he jumped straight onto a table.

"I'm joining! I'm gonna send everyone flying!!"

The deafening cheers almost blew the roof off the guild!

Ron nodded in satisfaction at the sight, then stepped aside to make room for Makarov.

Makarov looked at the excited crowd below; thinking about what they had discussed earlier, he could barely contain his mischievous streak.

'Hehehe, laugh it up, you little brats.'

'Just wait, let's see if you're still laughing in a bit!'

Makarov suppressed the wicked grin tugging at his lips and cleared his throat twice.

The hall fell silent instantly as everyone looked up in unison.

"Now, I shall announce the rules and procedures for this tournant!"

Makarov paused, his gaze sweeping across the room.

"For this event, everyone in the guild must participate, except for Gildarts, who isn't here, and Happy!"

"No refusals allowed!"

At those words, many instinctively turned their gaze toward a figure in the corner.

'No wonder Mystogan was willing to show his face today; it turns out participation is mandatory.'

The three mbers of the Thunder God Tribe looked with complex expressions at Laxus, who sat alone in silence.

What kind of tragedy is this?!

They were originally called back to launch an internal guild coup.

But as soon as they returned, their boss defected to the enemy!

What happened to the coup? The purging of the weak? The rebirth of Fairy Tail?

How did it suddenly turn into a guild-wide sports day?!

Guys, can anyone relate to this feeling?!!!

Fried looked at the fighting spirit burning in Laxus's eyes: This is fine too!

Since Laxus had agreed... as his personal guard, the Thunder God Tribe would naturally see it through to the end!!

"Why can't Happy participate?"

Natsu suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

"He's our comrade too!"

"Aye!"

"That's because... I have a much more important mission!"

Happy spread his wings and flew to the second-floor railing, puffing out his chest with his paws on his hips.

"Natsu, I'm a judge this ti!"

"That's right."

Makarov smiled and took over the explanation.

"To ensure the competition is fair and just, a judging panel has been established for this tournant."

"The judges will be myself, Ur..."

Hearing her na, Ur smiled and walked over to stand beside Makarov.

"...Happy, and Jason, a reporter from Sorcerer Weekly!"

"Aye!!"

Happy imdiately raised a small paw, looking very proud.

"Yeah—COOL! So cool!!"

A man with a cara hanging around his neck and exaggerated movents slid on his knees to the railing, snapping a frenzy of photos of the crowd below.

"As expected of Fairy Tail! This frenetic atmosphere! This high-spirited fighting will!"

"It's just too—COOL!!"

With the judging panel revealed, Makarov's gaze flickered toward Laxus.

"As for the prize for this tournant..."

"The winner will receive the 'Strongest in Fairy Tail' honorary trophy!"

"And..."

The Gramps took a deep breath, his expression serious and earnest.

"You may make one request of ! And I—"

"Absolutely cannot refuse!!"

"Ooooohhhhh!!!"

"Any request?! I have to win this!!!"

"The Strongest in Fairy Tail! That title is mine!!!"

In an instant, everyone's emotions were set ablaze.

Although everyone knew that without Gildarts participating, the "Strongest" title was sowhat questionable.

But... who cared?!

With this trophy, one would have the legitimate right to brag in front of everyone else!

That was enough!!

Laxus looked at Makarov, his fighting spirit almost manifesting as physical lightning.

'Gramps, just you wait. The guild is mine!'

Erza was not to be outdone either, her eyes sparkling with excitent.

Natsu, Gajeel, Gray, and the others were already shouting challenges across the room, boldly declaring their intentions.

Seeing the high spirits of this group, Makarov nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Ron held up a light pen and proceeded to explain the competition process in detail.

The tournant was divided into three stages: the Qualifiers, the Preliminaries, and the Finals.

The Qualifiers: a city-wide race.

Everyone would be randomly teleported to the edge of Magnolia as the starting point, with the finish line being Kardia Cathedral in the city center.

There were four different paths to the finish line, filled with complex Jutsu Shiki traps; once triggered, specific requirents had to be t to proceed.

Additionally, there were Gatekeepers at the end of two of the paths; one must receive the Gatekeeper's approval to pass.

Within the ti limit, the first thirty people to reach the finish line would automatically qualify for the Preliminaries.

If fewer than thirty people arrived, the spots would be filled based on their distance from the finish line.

The Preliminaries: the city siege.

The thirty qualifiers would be randomly shuffled into six teams of five to engage in a siege battle within Magnolia.

Each team would have a target team; when a team successfully captured their target's flag, the match between those two teams would automatically end.

PS:

1. Once the flag's position is chosen, it cannot be moved;

2. If a team captures a flag from a non-target team, they are disqualified imdiately, and no points are awarded.

After the match, the judges would discuss and determine each participant's score.

Scores consisted of team points and performance points; each mber of the winning team would receive five points.

Performance points would be awarded by the judging panel based on the participants' overall performance in battle, ranging from 0 to 20 points.

The Finals: single combat.

After the Preliminaries, the top sixteen mbers in total points would enter the final stage.

The Finals would proceed through the Round of 16, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, and finally, the championship match.

The entire tournant would last six days.

The day of the final match would coincide with the Harvest Festival celebration.

Having finished the explanation, Ron put away his light pen and looked at the sowhat confused faces below.

"Fairy Tail's first tournant..."

A wicked grin appeared on his face as he snapped his fingers.

"Starts now!!!"
