Arslan P.O.V.
The games were done for the day and the teams went back to their hotels, leaving Fairy Tail alone in the stadium.
"I shall go check on Lucy. Arslan says, walking to the building Natsu brought Lucy to. Arslan walks over to the wall and waits for Lucy to come out of the shower. When Lucy leaves the shower room, a cloud of steam comes out with her. Her hair is tied up out of her face.
"Hey, Arslan." Lucy sighs. "Where's Daryun?"
"He is with his team. I do not know what they are doing." Arslan responds. "Lucy, I hope you do not mind, but what was the spell you used earlier?"
"It was Urano Metria, a spell only Celestial Mages can use. I can teach it to you, if you want."
"I would be honored, Lucy. But I will not force you to teach it to me if you are not up to it."
"It's alright. I need something else to focus on, and teaching you would be helpful to me."
"Alright, If you are sure." Arslan plops down onto the floor and crosses his legs, Lucy following his example. They spend the next couple of hours teaching or learning, and talking to each other. By the time they stood back up, Lucy was in a way better mood.
"We should head back to the guild." Lucy says, standing up. Arslan smiles and nods before standing up and dusting off his clothes. They walk out to the arena to find the teams and the guild waiting for them. Daryun walks up to Arslan and goes to his normal position behind him.
"Alright, let's go." Someone from the front of the group says. The guild is lead to a bar and as soon as the doors open, the guild spills in and somehow possesses several barrels of alcohol. Arslan sips his non alcoholic drink and watches the drunk chaos ensue. People surfing on barrels, people (Cana) chugging entire barrels, and drunk flirting. Arslan smiles as Daryun stands his guard and indulges in the drinks, just sparingly. Eventually, the guild stumbles out of the bar and into their hotels for the next day.
The next day, somehow at the exact same time, all the guilds and teams meet up back in the arena. The guilds go to the stands and the teams go to their area. The Pumpkin Man's voice erupts over voice amplifiers and announces the next game called Chariot. Sabertooth sent out Sting, Making Natsu announce that he is going to do the game, causing Gajeel to do the same. As soon as all the contestants are on a wooden platform, the Pumpkin Man announces the start of the game, and the platforms start moving.
All the contestants run over the platforms, trying to get to the front first, except the dragon slayers. Natsu, Gajeel, and Sting look ready to puke and pass out. They struggle to move even a centimeter, to busy trying to hold in their breakfast. All the contestants get closer to the finish line, leaving the dragon slayers on their own to try and fight their motion sickness.
Natsu and Gajeel start crawling towards the end of the platform, moving at a snail's pace, leaving Sting back where he was. Sting said something that the lacrimas couldn't pick up and Natsu responded to him, also too quiet for the lacrimas. Natsu and Gajeel continued to crawl, though, eventually ending the race with Natsu crossing first, Gajeel second, and Sting third. Natsu, Gajeel, and Sting stumbled back to their teams.
"Good job, Natsu." Arslan congratulated. Natsu gave him a weak smile before covering his mouth again and trying not to throw up.
"Give me a second…" Natsu trailed off. "I need to adjust." A few minutes later filled with Natsu trying to not puke his guts out, and he was all set and ready to fight again. The first one on one duel was ending already, causing all the guilds to look on in anticipation at who the next fighters will be. They heard the familiar crackle from the microphones as a voice spoke loud and clear,
"Bacchus VS. Prince Arslan!" Team A and B were rendered silent as the crowd broke out into a frenzy.
"What?!" Exclaimed the Teams.
