The next day Levy sits in the guild nervous and excited at the same time, she sits watching everyone else getting excited some more than others, she hears Happy pleading with Natsu calm down while the newer members watch confused, she hears Juvia and Lucy discussing what is happening.
"So we finally get to hear the secret" Lucy says with slight worry in her voice knowing that she is in fairy tail and to never expect anything to be normal or simple, "Juvias heart pounds..."Juvia says in her third persons commentary "every time i see Gray-samma" her eyes turn into love hearts as she looks at Gray "why don't you just go home" Lucy says to her wishing she would slightly.
the guild goes silent as the cartain falls down revealing the mater, Erza, Guildarts and Mirajane, everyone chears and asks each other who is going to be picked this year and who is going to win making the newer members even more confused and curious, even slightly peeking Gajeels interest.
"Ahem" the master clears his throat sending the guild into silence once more, everyone's eyes fix-stated onto him in anticipation, "in a ancient tradition of fairy tail i present...the list of wizards eligible to take the S class wizard qualification test!" the master announces making everyone chear, "S-class wizard qualifications?!" Lucy asks completely in shock.
Everyone talk among themselves again until the mater starts talking again telling them where the test will be taken " i have spent this past year trying to discern each wizards power,heart and soul...there will be eight eligible wizards!"
the guild went eerie quiet as the master starts to read the names out "Natsu Dragneel!" the master says the first name "all right" Natsu replys happily "good for you Natsu" Happy shouts cheering his pall on "Gray Fullbuster!""the time has finally come" Gray replys with a grin across his face, "Juvia Lockser" Juvias eyes widen in shock "eh? you mean Juvia?" she asks meaning herself, "Elfman""S-class is the proper place for a man!" he reply's with a menacing grin across his face "you go, big brother!" Lisanna shouts supporting her brother, "Cana Alberona" Cana says nothing but looks sad that she was picked, " Fried Justine!"Fried smiles"Laxus! i'm ready too inherit your position"he reply's, "Levy Mcgarden!" Levys face lit up a small blush came across her cheeks and a wide smile on her mouth "me...? i'm finally picked?" she asked happily " Levy!congrats" Droy and Jet say at the same time, then look at each other snarling as if they were the worst enemy's "Mest Gryder" everyone looked shocked at the last name.
Everyone else comforts each other who wasn't chosen apart from Droy and Jet who are cheering for Levy who has sat down in shock "i can't believe i made it this time..." she says to herself, the other guild members start picking who they think is going to win and start taking bets.
"Wh-why wasn't my name in there...?" Gajeel asks himself out loud, even though Juvia is...he questions himself "I've been hearing about how the guild sees you. it's probably because not many people trust you right?" Pantherlily says to his partner, "no, that can't be it!i can't tell you why but that can't be it!" he replys almost shouting,"i heard it from Erza" Pantherlily reply's calmly, " heh heh. too soon for you!" Erza says mockingly as she looks at him "DAMMIT" Gajeel growls.
"Now, since we have first-timers here...we'll go over the rules" the master starts again,everyone is told they are aloud one partner that can not be an S class wizard and must be a member of fairy tail, and the rest of the rules will be revealed to them once there on the island as well they are told that they might have to fight Erza, which made everyone apart from Natsu sigh and look gloom with horror, the master confirms that he wants all the people in the test to find a partner and be together at Hargeon port in one week.
With that everyone starts to pick there partners Natsu choices Happy of course which surprises no one "it isn't far to have Happy as a parnter, isn't it? if it turns out to be a race you guys can fly, you'd win in an instant!" Elfman grumps at Natsu, "um...Juvia would like to pull out of this test" Juvia says gloomily catching everyone attention at her table and wanted to know why "well...i want to partner with...Gray sama" Juvia admits "what was that?" Gray asks hoping he heard wrong, not minding his stalker but doesn't want her to do something as stupid " what i said was...was that Juvia" she goes on again "somebody really wants to be your partner" Lucy whispers slyly to Gray snickering making Juvia go into her crazy love rivalry "sorry i've already got a partner" Gray replays with Loke standing next to him.
Lisanna decides to team up with Juvia seeing she was close friends with the Juvia in Edolas but earthland Juvia just thinks Lisanna is trying to get with Gray,"wait a minute Lisanna! if you do that, i won't have a partner!" elfman pleds with his sister, Lisanna points out that Evergreen has been giving him daggers all night and that Fried already picked Bockslow and he should ask her, the thought alone sends shivers down his spine thinking of getting turned to stone.
"Levy was chosen!" Jet says while dancing behind little Levy whos little face is all lightened up with a small blush on her face "that's just amazing! you could become an S class wizard" he tells her making her smile more "and i'll be the one to get her there" Droy says while poping a poper over her, Levy hears them both start arguing behind herself about who she's going to pick, she knew if she'd pick either one of them the other would get jealous and the one she picked would think she had feelings for them.
She sighs then feels a presence directly behind her "if your serious about becoming an S class wizard...then i'll give you a hand " a serious voice came from behind her with a slight growl in it's tone, sending a small blush across Levys cheeks "Gajeel!" she says surprised turning around looking up at him, "it means that i get to bust up people who annoy me,right?" he asks with a frightful grin on his face, Levy looks away and at the floor sadly " i'm...small, and i'm not much use to anybody...so i think i'm going to lose pretty quickly." she says sulkily, Gajeel growls and puts him hand out and grabs the back of her dress and picks her up by it nearly pulling it off her "what's the good of being that weak willed before you even try?" he grunts at her, Levy pleading for him to put her down "i'll make you big" he says looking directly at her making Levys blush grow, Leaving a smug looking Pantherlily and a devastated looking Droy and Jet.
