Magnolia.
In this historic magical comrcial city, nurous magical broadcast screens were currently suspended in mid-air, clearly reflecting scenes from every corner of the city.
The citizens watched with great interest.
"Hahaha, these traps are so interesting!"
"Exactly, exactly, the people from Fairy Tail are so funny too!"
"Hahaha, is that person squatting on the ground picking up beans Laxus? I recognize him! He's Makarov's grandson!!"
"This is just too interesting, this year's Harvest Festival is simply the best ever!"
"..."
Cheers rose one after another, and every face was filled with heartfelt joy.
This lively atmosphere and laughter complented the Harvest Festival perfectly.
However.
Human joys and sorrows are not always shared.
While the citizens found it joyful, a certain bored old man found it noisy.
"Is it... a bit over the top?"
As the gatekeeper, Makarov was currently staying at his post.
Watching the strange and varied embarrassnts on the screen, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
To prank this group of guys in the guild.
As happy as he was when designing the traps before, that's how troubled he was now.
Moreover, there was Jason wandering around the city, constantly collecting news material... "If these images get out..."
A few drops of cold sweat broke out uncontrollably on Makarov's forehead.
"It's over!!"
"If the guild is laughed at by the entire Kingdom of Fiore in the future, how can I face the First and Second Masters?!"
Just as Makarov was frowning with worry.
Ron, who ignored all traps, had already arrived at Kardia Cathedral.
"Yo, Gramps!"
He stopped his leisurely pace and waved a greeting with a smile.
"So you're guarding this path!"
"Co on!!"
As he spoke, Ron's expression beca serious, and he assud a standard combat starting stance, magic power surging within him.
"Humph!"
Makarov snorted irritably, then waved his hand.
"Enough, enough, brat, stop putting on an act."
"Don't bother with the stance, just get inside."
Ron lowered his hands and looked at the old man mischievously.
"Old man, you're seriously going easy on !"
"Going easy my foot!"
Hearing this, Makarov imdiately glared with wide eyes and a bristling beard.
"Don't you know your own strength? These old bones of mine can't handle your roughhousing."
"If I really fought you, I'd end up in the hospital. How would I test the guys behind you then?"
Hearing this, Ron couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, since you've said so, I'll follow your lead."
He shrugged, withdrew his magic power, walked straight past Makarov, and headed towards the finish line.
A series of exclamations imdiately erupted from the citizen area.
"He just passed through? I wanted to see them fight..."
"Is it rigged? He was just let through so casually?"
"Didn't you hear what Guild Master Makarov said? He's probably too strong, so he doesn't need a test!"
"That's right! It is Ron after all; his 'Heterochromia' title is quite famous!"
"..."
Amidst the incessant chatter of the citizens, Ron had already reached the entrance of Kardia Cathedral.
The next second, a broadcast voice echoed throughout the city.
[Announcent! Announcent!]
[Participant: Ron, has successfully reached the finish line!]
[Ron has passed the Qualifiers! Successfully qualified for the Preliminary!]
The mbers of Fairy Tail, still struggling in the traps, all paused their movents simultaneously.
But as for Ron being the first to reach the finish line, no one showed the slightest surprise or bewildernt.
After all... who told Ron to have such good eyes!
The very next sentence, however, was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly igniting the scene.
[Current preliminary qualification spots remaining: twenty-nine!!]
Twenty-nine!
Only twenty-nine spots left!
"Damn! I can't delay any longer!!"
"With only twenty-nine spots, it's over if others beat to it!"
"Looks like I have to work hard, I can't fail to even enter the preliminaries!!"
In an instant, everyone stopped their cautious pacing and began to show off their skills, accelerating frantically.
In a certain alleyway.
Laxus, squatting on the ground, flashed a look of impatience in his eyes.
His hands turned into afterimages, and in the blink of an eye, he sorted the remaining colored beans into categories.
"Humph!"
He snorted coldly and stood up, looking towards the cathedral as lightning flickered on his body.
"Ron, is this your so-called tournant?"
"A boring child's ga!"
Imdiately, he transford into golden lightning, flashing through the alleyway and heading straight for the finish line.
On the other side, in a residential area.
"Aaaaah, that guy Ron has already arrived, how can I fall behind!!"
Natsu was engulfed in raging flas.
After standing in place and looking around for a mont, he revealed a smile.
"Since the road ahead has traps, then I'll make a road without traps."
"Charge——!!!"
After choosing a direction, Natsu directly activated an unstoppable bulldozer mode.
Whether it was walls or houses, any obstacle blocking his path forward was directly flipped aside by him in the most violent manner!
"Boom!"
"Rumble!"
A brand new, safe, and straight shortcut was forcibly carved out by Natsu in the complex city maze.
"Ah——! That's my house!!"
A resident in the safe zone looked at his house on the screen, which had a large hole blown through it, and let out a desperate scream.
A kind-hearted person nearby quickly patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't worry, don't worry, didn't Ron say he would help restore everything?"
"Yeah, yeah, this is a free renovation for an old house, you should be happy!"
"..."
The resident fell silent, looking at the screen and shedding two rows of happy tears... Kardia Cathedral.
Ron, staying on the roof, had a full view of Natsu's god-tier maneuver thanks to his high vantage point.
"As expected of you, Natsu, truly simple and crude."
He rubbed his chin and couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle.
"If I had known, I would have carved Magic Circles on those walls too."
Because of the stimulus brought by Ron's completion, an even more chaotic and hilarious race was playing out in every corner of the city.
Many people, in their haste for success, instead fell headfirst into the traps Ron had set, causing the citizens to burst into laughter repeatedly.
[Trap Triggered! ow like a cat.]
"ow like a cat? So simple... ow, ow, ow..."
One second.
Two seconds.
"Isn't that how a cat ows? Why is there no reaction, you bastard?!"
Laxus's brow was furrowed, full of suppressed rage.
"Could it be... Aye!!"
[Trap Released! Passage granted.]
[Trap Triggered! Complete the shooting ga.]
[Trap Triggered! Complete the trivia quiz.]
[...]
Ti passed minute by minute.
The mbers of Fairy Tail, going all out, were all steadily approaching Kardia Cathedral at the finish line.
Finally, on another path managed by Ur.
A figure successfully broke through nurous obstacles and hurriedly reached the finish line.
