The Day of the Harvest Festival.
At the Fairy Tail guild, the long-awaited annual Fairy Tail Miss Selection Contest had finally arrived.
This contest was one of the most highly anticipated events in the guild, especially for the male members.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting! The competition of beauty among our fairies—the Fairy Tail Miss Selection Contest—is now officially starting!" Announced the host, Max, the sand wizard.
"Our first contestant—possessing a bottomless stomach and exotic beauty—Cana Alberona!"
With cheers and applause filling the hall, the Fairy Tail Miss Selection Contest had finally begun.
The first contestant, Cana, stepped onto the stage.
She first used her magic cards to cover her body, and in the brief moment before they vanished, she had already changed into a swimsuit.
With a confident expression full of foreign charm, she whispered,
"I'll be taking the prize money for drinks, okay?"
"Our second contestant—although she's a newcomer, she's an S-Class wizard! A girl as delicate as a water droplet—Juvia Lockser!"
Juvia took the stage next, though it was clear to everyone that she was participating solely to attract Gray's attention.
Unfortunately for her, unrequited love remained unrequited—Gray, sitting below the stage, showed no interest at all.
Instead, he was chatting with Natsu and Elfman, completely oblivious to Juvia's presence.
"Our third contestant—the pride of our guild, the signature beauty of Fairy Tail! Her beauty captivates the entire continent—Mirajane!"
The moment Mirajane stepped onto the stage, the cheering in the guild reached a whole new peak, proving just how overwhelmingly popular she was.
With her combination of beauty, gentleness, kindness, cheerfulness, and just a hint of airheaded charm, Mirajane was practically the dream girlfriend—no, the dream wife—for most of the men in the guild.
"Since I specialize in Transformation Magic, I'll do a transformation for everyone!" Mirajane said with a bright smile, raising both hands to cover her face.
As the crowd watched with eager anticipation…
She transformed into—
A floating, disembodied Happy's head!
"Plop."
Seeing this scene, Noel was completely stunned, his entire body slowly petrifying.
The strawberry cake he had been holding, ready to eat, slipped from his grasp and fell to the floor.
In that moment, he could almost hear the sound of countless hearts shattering in the air.
"A floating-headed Gajeel~"
Pfft!
When Mira transformed into a floating head of Gajeel, Noel, who had already been turned to stone, completely shattered like a weathered statue crumbling into dust. Soon, he returned to normal, but with a head full of black lines, staring at the self-satisfied Mira. With a deep sigh, he covered his face with his hand in defeat.
(Mira… this time, you really brought this on yourself…)
"Our fourth contestant—no need for introductions—the Queen of Fairies, Erza Scarlet!"
The moment Max finished his announcement, Erza leaped directly onto the stage from the backstage area.
"She's here! Fairy Tail's strongest female!"
Due to the trauma from Mira's earlier performance, everyone's hopes were now entirely pinned on Erza, one of the few in the guild whose popularity could rival Mira's.
As soon as she appeared, the atmosphere roared back to life with excitement.
"Hmph, let me show you one of my most treasured outfits." Erza declared confidently.
With a flash of light, she transformed—and appeared before everyone wearing a Gothic Lolita dress.
"Whoa, that looks really pretty, Erza."
Seeing Erza's outfit on stage, Noel scratched his cheek, his face showing a hint of surprise.
For someone who always wore tough and battle-ready armor, seeing Erza dressed like this was... unexpectedly adorable.
"Victory is mine."
Seeing the audience below with hearts in their eyes, Erza nodded in satisfaction, speaking to herself confidently.
"Our fifth contestant—the tiny fairy, the petite and adorable Levy McGarden!"
Next to take the stage was Levy, with the loudest cheers coming from Jet and Droy, her teammates from Shadow Gear.
"Our sixth contestant—the sexy sniper, Bisca Mulan!"
. . .
"Our seventh contestant—our super rookie, guided by the brilliance of the Celestial Spirits, Lucy—"
Before Max could even finish his announcement, Lucy had already run onto the stage, dressed in a blue cheerleader outfit.
"Um, I'm here to dance with my Celestial Spirits—"
"Our eighth contestant—"
Before Lucy could even begin her performance, a proud and arrogant female voice suddenly echoed through the venue.
"A fairy? That's me. Beauty? That's also me. Yes, all of this describes me. The champion? It's obviously me, Evergreen. There's no room for doubt. Now, this boring contest is over."
Holding her folding fan in hand, Evergreen, a member of the Thunder God Tribe, walked slowly and gracefully out from backstage, exuding an air of extreme self-love.
"Hey! Don't ruin this for me! This is about my rent!"
Fueled by raging determination to pay her bills, Lucy glared furiously at Evergreen.
"Lucy, don't look into her eyes!"
Recognizing the danger, Gray immediately stood up and warned her, his face filled with seriousness.
Others who were aware of Evergreen's abilities also became visibly tense.
"What's this brat's problem?"
Before Lucy could react, Evergreen casually pushed up her glasses, revealing her petrifying gaze—and Lucy was instantly turned to stone.
"Oh no! Everyone, run!"
Max immediately reacted, urging the audience to evacuate.
"What are you doing, Evergreen?! Are you trying to ruin the festival?!"
Makarov roared in anger, glaring at Evergreen.
"Heh. What's a festival without a little extra entertainment?"
Ignoring Makarov's fury, Evergreen let out a cold laugh, and just as the stage curtain lifted—a shocking sight was revealed.
Every single contestant of the Fairy Miss Pageant had been turned to stone.
Even Erza and Mira were not spared.
"You bastard! Turn them back to normal right now!"
At that moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
As the light faded, Laxus and the other two members of the Thunder God Tribe appeared on the stage.
"Alright, you Fairy Tail scumbags, the real festival starts now." Laxus smirked coldly as he looked down at the somewhat panicked guild members.
"Laxus!"
"Stop this nonsense! End it now and turn them back. This isn't a joke!" Makarov commanded sternly, the veins bulging on his forehead showing just how furious he was.
"Let's play a game, old man. How many of them will survive until Fantasia begins? These women will be my hostages. If anyone dares break the rules, I'll smash them one by one. Didn't I already say? This is just a little extra entertainment."
Facing Makarov's reprimand, Laxus showed no sign of remorse.
Instead, he turned his gaze toward Makarov and Noel, continuing, "I'm serious this time. Last time, I lost to Noel, but I haven't admitted defeat yet. Noel, even though you've lost your memories, your combat ability is still there, right? So let's fight again. This time… I will definitely crush you. The rules are simple—whoever remains standing at the end wins. The Battle of Fairy Tail begins now! Hahaha!"
As Laxus finished speaking, the Thunder God Tribe vanished from the guild hall in a flash of lightning.
