"thinking"
On with the story
The crowds were cheering and screaming like crazy as the display of power, Natsu had shown had riled them up in pure excitement
"what unbelievable power! Could Natsu Dragneel be Belserion High's Trump Card!?" Lola exclaimed on the mic as no one could believe what they had saw "it was unbelievable! The Ganketsu Stone that withstood many magic attacks in the past has just been destroyed with a single punch!? Is this a dream!? Somebody please pinch me!"
Natsu clapped his hands in satisfaction as he dusts off his hands at the same time
The man soon turned to walk away, leaving a jaw drop Mato behind
"show off" Mira said as Natsu walks back to his team "you didn't even use magic, did you?"
"no, this is child's play" Natsu replied as those who heard him, looks in utter shock
"how were you able to destroy it so easily?" Kagura asked Natsu, a bit bewildered by his power
"weak point" Natsu said as he placed a finger to her forehead "everything has a weak point, and when you find it, you can destroy it"
"w-with the destruction of the Ganketsu Stone, Belserion High just got high points!" Lola exclaimed as the team obtained 10 points
"we're in the lead already" Lucy said with a smile
"impressive" Minerva said with a smirk
Soon, a new Ganketsu Stone was placed in as the other representatives tried their best but could not destroy it, only able to scar some damage upon it
"with the even theme done, we now have the rankings of the first day!" Lola exclaimed as Belserion High got first place, second Saber High, third Fairy Tail high, Lamia High, Cerberus High, Pegasus High, Mermaid High, and Raven High "to our surprise, the first place is taken by Belserion high!"
The crowds cheered as they scream and roared for Belserion High's team
"Now, on to the battle portion of day one!" Lola announced. "Here is how the fights will be broken down. Each team will fight in a one on one battle against another team."
"now it's time for the roulette again-kabo!" Mato exclaimed as a giant magic screen appeared and it had two slots that showed photos of Gray and Lucy before they started to roll around
"it's a 1 in a 40 chance that one of us is going to battle today" Erza said as the roulette keeps on spinning before slowing down and stopped, showing that it was Pegasus High's Eve vs Lamia High's Lyon "those two, huh?"
"now that the two have been chosen, please for the rest to go back to their podium-kabo" Mato said "the Magic Arena Barrier will soon activate"
Everyone heads out of the arena and went to their tunnel as the arena floor soon shined as a barrier surrounds the field
"time limit is 30 minutes-kabo! The first one to knock out their opponent or make them surrender in that time will be declared the winner and receives 10 points for their team, the loser receives none. If both combatants are still standing by the end of the round, both teams will be awarded 5 points-kabo!" Mato exclaimed "Are both mages ready?!"
Eve and Lyon bowed to each other before they got into a battle stance
"let the battle Begin!" Mato exclaimed as the crowds cheered when Lyon and Eve brawled out
Going to their podium stand, Natsu and the others sat by and watch Lyon battles against Eve as both were mages who uses Ice Type Magic
"so cold!" Lucy exclaimed while shivering as the air turned cold due to the battle of Ice Mages
"Eve's Snow Magic is strong, but Lyon's Ice Make Magic makes him immune to the attacks" Kagura noted, watching the two battle "Lyon might win this easily"
"perhaps" Erza said before Eve went flying from a blast of ice and crashed to the floor
"WINNER! LYON VASTIA OF LAMIA HIGH-kabo!" Mato exclaimed as the crowds cheered "with the win, Lamia High receives 10 points-kabo!"
"wow, his magic increased since last year" Mira said watching the fight "he might give one of us trouble"
"true" Erza stated as Natsu watched Lyon with squinted eyes
"now! On to the next match ups-kabo!" Mato exclaimed as the Roulette spins again
"who will it be this time?" Lucy said watching the roulette as it spins before stopping as it is Natsu vs Bacchus
"Natsu against Bacchus, huh?" Erza said rubbing her chin "both have power and speed, but Bacchus' attacks are unpredictable because of him being drunk"
"what do you think, Natsu? Think you can beat the drinker?" Mira asked looking to Natsu who was gone "eh? Where'd he go?"
"there" Minerva said watching the field as Natsu walks in
"when did he get there?" Erza said surprised as Natsu and Bacchus stood at the middle of the arena with Mato standing in the middle
"the second battle! Belserion High Natsu Dragneel vs Cerberus High Bacchus Groh!" Lola exclaimed "both are strong adversaries! Who do you think might win, Yajima-san? Makarov-san?"
"in terms of magic, the boy has an advantage" Yajima commented while rubbing his chin
"but in terms of fighting technique, Bacchus has the advantage" Makarov added in "this might be anyone's guess on the winner"
"are both fighters ready-kabo?" Mato asked as Natsu and Bacchus nodded in response "well then!"
Natsu and Bacchus looks at each other as Bacchus had a grin on
"I won't be holding back" Bacchus said taking out a small jug that was filled with alcohol before drinking it "I got to win for my school, after all"
"so do I" Natsu replied as his eyes glowed a bit red
"drinking? At a time like this!?" Lucy said seeing Bacchus drinking his jug before throwing it away
"in his school, he's called the Drunken Hawk. His fighting style involves a series of unpredictable movements, getting drunk gives him the upper advantages" Erza said watching Bacchus "it's hard to predict a drunken man's attack after all"
"Natsu has power and speed, but he can't predict unpredictable movements" Kagura noted while cupping her chin "he might have a hard time winning"
"go! Natsu! Beat him!" Mira shouted out in a cheer
"ready-KABO!?" Mato exclaimed as Natsu and Bacchus bowed at each other before the two got into a battle stance "BEGIN!"
"HAHAAHHA!" Bacchus soon jumped back before dashing towards Natsu who just stood in his position "I'll be going all force!"
"in a go! Bacchus went on the attack!" Lola exclaimed on the mic before a torrent of flames barrages Bacchus and engulfs him "aaah!?"
The flames disappeared as it revealed Bacchus all black
"-coughs out smoke- y-you're k-kidding, right?" Bacchus spoke out, while his body was smoking "W-Wild"
He soon fell down as Natsu stood above him with a hand reached out and it was steaming a bit
"blame on the matchups" Natsu said as he waves his hand off before walking away
"W-Winner…Natsu Dragneel of B-Belserion H-high" Mato said as the crowds jaw dropped to how fast the match ended
Natsu walks back to the tunnel as he heads back to his team's podium stand
"i-in just a few seconds, N-Natsu Dragneel w-won the match" Lola said as he and the other commenters had their jaws dropped
A few seconds passes by before the crowds went wild with cheers
"what's with that!?" "so strong!" "that guy is strong!" "Belserion High is rocking it!" the crowds shouted out as they were now cheering for the school
"for some reason, I'm glad that I enrolled in our school and not any other" Lucy said shaking a bit when she saw the sheer power that Natsu had unleashed
"you and me both, I nearly went to Fairy Tail High for god sake" Mira said
"was he still holding back or was that his full power?" Kagura asked as Erza shrugs her shoulders
"he could still be holding back" Erza said while Minerva watched the match with amusement
"l-let's begin the third match-kabo" Mato said as he was trying to shake off the shock in him
Hisui watched the battle as she was amazed by the sheer power, Natsu unleashed
"in mere 10 seconds…" Arcadios said as he was awestruck
"a-amazing.." Hisui said as she had no words to describe what she had just seen "t-this is….Natsu Dragneel!?"
Her heart skips a beat as her cheeks reddened a bit
"my chest feels so tight….what is this feeling?" Hisui thought as she watched Natsu leaves the arena, his back was the only thing that she sees
Natsu walks around in the tunnel hallway as he heads for the podium stand
As he walks, a shadow looms around, following him slowly
Natsu took a glance back as he stopped and so did the shadow that disappeared
"how long are you going to keep on hiding?" Natsu spoke out turning and looks to the side corner where there is a shadow "reveal yourself or I will do it myself"
No response, as there was no one
"that wasn't a Request" Natsu said as his eyes glowed red
Soon enough, Sayla appeared out of the shadows. The vampire woman looks to him with an expressionless face
"always following me, you must be an experiment made by him, aren't you?" Natsu said looking at her as Sayla didn't speak a word "I don't care what he orders you to do, I don't care why are you even following me, but if you ever lay a hand on my friends or any innocent people just one time"
Natsu's eyes turned black as glowing reptilian eyes appeared
"I'll personally kill you myself" Natsu spoke out in a deadly voice before he turns and leaves
Sayla looks at Natsu before she disappears into the shadow and follows him
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
