Chapter 159: FTRJ: Chapter 159

“Unless…” Lisanna’s gaze fixed on Finn.

“Unless we gain his approval!”

Ignoring their whispered conversation, Finn spoke again.

“I assume you both understand the exam’s parameters. If you intend to proceed, then make your move.”

Finn gestured for Nancy to move to a safe distance. Then, extending his right hand, he issued a challenge. “Unleash your full potential.”

Seeing Finn’s impassive expression, Juvia took a deep breath. She exchanged a look with Lisanna, and they both nodded in silent agreement.

The next moment, both women launched their attacks simultaneously, their movements perfectly synchronized.

High-velocity jets of water shot forth, resembling razor-sharp blades that sliced through numerous boulders with remarkable precision.

However, before the water jets could even come close to Finn, a sudden eruption of flames engulfed them, instantly incinerating the water attacks.

“!!” Juvia gasped in surprise, her eyes widening as she witnessed the relentless onslaught of flames. The flames continued to surge towards them, resembling a powerful wave.

Juvia instantly transformed her body into a torrent of water, rapidly retreating to avoid the intense heat.

“Full Body Take Over!” Lisanna’s voice suddenly rang out from behind Finn.

Pixel blocks enveloped Lisanna’s body, and in a matter of moments, she transformed into a colossal bird, her wings flapping powerfully, generating a strong gust of wind that ruffled Finn’s bangs. Her sharp talons extended, aiming directly for Finn’s head.

“Too naive, Lisanna,” Finn remarked calmly, his voice barely a whisper.

Finn subtly shifted his body to evade the attack, deftly seizing Lisanna’s claw in his grasp. With a swift, powerful movement of his arm, he hurled Lisanna towards Juvia.

“Ah~ Juvia, get out of the way!” Lisanna cried out in warning.

However, Lisanna’s trajectory was far too swift, resulting in a direct collision with Juvia. The immense force of the impact sent both women flying backward, crashing against the tunnel wall with a resounding boom.

“Cough, cough,” Lisanna coughed lightly, quickly assisting Juvia to her feet. “Are you alright, Miss Juvia?” Lisanna inquired, her voice laced with concern.

Juvia shook her head, her gaze fixed intently upon Finn, her eyes filled with a mixture of awe and determination.

“His power is truly astonishing!” Juvia exclaimed, her voice filled with wonder. “However,” she declared, her voice ringing with unwavering resolve, “Juvia has no intention of surrendering!”

With a resounding shout, Juvia and Lisanna launched another simultaneous attack, their movements synchronized and precise.

Finn nodded subtly, a faint smile playing upon his lips. “Impressive resolve,” he commented, his voice laced with a hint of approval.

In passage ’E’, upon catching sight of the imposing figure of the cloaked man, Happy promptly began packing their belongings.

“Natsu, I believe it’s time we made our retreat,” Happy suggested, his voice laced with a hint of apprehension.

Natsu, however, ignored Happy’s suggestion, his fists clenched tightly. “There’s absolutely no need for that,” Natsu declared, his voice brimming with unwavering confidence.

“Regardless of whether our opponent happens to be Gildarts or anyone else, I intend to thoroughly trounce them!”

In passage ’A’, a devilish tail swayed rhythmically. With her white hair standing on end, Mirajane extended a demonic claw, her gaze fixed upon the terrified figures of Elfman and Erza.

“Even if it’s my own brother, I will not show any mercy,” Mirajane declared, her voice devoid of any hint of hesitation.

Meanwhile, in passage ’C’, Lucy and Cana found themselves unexpectedly facing Freed and Bickslow, who had apparently arrived via a different route.

“Should we consider ourselves fortunate or unfortunate?” Lucy mused, her voice laced with a mixture of amusement and apprehension as she observed their opponents.

After all, they had inadvertently chosen one of the only two interconnected paths, and their opponents were none other than members of the formidable Thunder Legion.

In another passage, Gajeel and Levy found themselves facing their formidable opponent—Laxus, the renowned Thunder Dragon.

A cold sweat instantly broke out on both Gajeel and Levy’s foreheads, their faces registering a look of palpable apprehension.

“I never anticipated that the two of you would actually team up,” Laxus remarked, his hands casually tucked into his pockets, a hint of surprise evident in his tone as he observed the unlikely pairing.

Upon the vast expanse of the open sea, a black cat and a white cat soared gracefully through the air, their wings effortlessly carrying them across the water’s surface.

Carla, holding a map she had obtained from the Fairy Tail guildhall, carefully studied the terrain ahead, her gaze fixed upon the faintly visible outline of a distant island. Nodding in confirmation, she pointed towards the large island.

“That’s Tenrou Island,” she announced, her voice laced with a hint of determination.

“Are you certain it’s alright for us to follow them here without permission?” Lily questioned, his voice laced with a hint of apprehension.

After all, Tenrou Island held a sacred significance for the Fairy Tail guild, and it would be considered highly inappropriate to trespass upon its grounds without the express consent of the guild master.

Carla responded with a nonchalant shrug. “It’s perfectly fine. We’re merely here to observe the trials,” she stated, her voice betraying a hint of unconcern.

Lily offered a subtle smile in response, his gaze fixed upon Carla. Despite Carla’s attempt to downplay the situation, Lily was keenly aware of her true motivations.

“I suspect your concern lies with Wendy,” Lily remarked, his voice laced with a hint of understanding.

The mention of Wendy’s name ignited a surge of anger within Carla. “I vehemently opposed her decision, yet that stubborn child still…” Carla exclaimed, her voice laced with frustration.

“All because that fellow happens to be a disciple of Mystogan,” Carla added, her voice filled with a mixture of exasperation and disappointment.

“She willingly chose to assist Mest without a second thought. What a complete fool! A total idiot!”

Witnessing Carla’s outburst of frustration, Lily could only offer a helpless shrug.

“So, you two haven’t spoken to each other for an entire week, is that correct?” Lily inquired, his voice laced with a hint of amusement.

Carla nodded in confirmation, her expression still betraying a hint of frustration.

Lily’s gaze shifted towards Tenrou Island, which was now rapidly approaching, his expression turning serious.

“I find myself particularly intrigued by this Mest individual,” Lily remarked, his voice laced with a hint of suspicion.

“Eh?” Carla exclaimed, her voice laced with confusion as she turned to address Lily.

Lily stroked his chin thoughtfully, his expression one of contemplation. “A disciple of Mystogan… something about that feels rather unsettling,” he mused, his voice laced with a hint of unease.

Meanwhile, on Tenrou Island, Wendy and Mest found themselves facing an opponent who was absolutely unwilling to show any mercy—the formidable female knight, Erza Scarlet.

“Even if it’s Wendy, I will not show the slightest hint of leniency,” Erza declared, her voice unwavering as she slowly raised her sword, pointing it directly at Wendy and Mest. Her expression was one of unwavering seriousness and determination.

“Wh… why did we have to encounter Erza-san…?” Wendy whimpered, her face buried in her hands, her heart sinking into despair.

Mest’s expression mirrored Wendy’s apprehension, his initial confidence replaced by a deep frown. He clenched his fists tightly, his resolve wavering.

“Despite the fact that our opponent is Erza,” Mest declared, his voice ringing with determination, “I will not surrender!”

With a resounding shout, Mest prepared to launch a preemptive attack. Facing an opponent whose strength far surpassed his own, seizing the initiative was crucial to any chance of success.

In a blur of motion, Mest vanished from his original position, reappearing instantaneously behind Erza. The moment he reappeared, his right leg was already raised high, poised to deliver a powerful kick.

Erza’s lips curved into a subtle smile. “Impressive speed,” she commented, her voice laced with a hint of amusement.

Despite her verbal acknowledgement of Mest’s speed, Erza’s movements betrayed no sign of hesitation. With a slight bend at the waist, she effortlessly evaded Mest’s attack.

Seizing the opportunity while Mest remained momentarily suspended in mid-air, Erza swiftly raised her leg and delivered a powerful kick to Mest’s back.

The immense force of the blow sent Mest flying through the air, leaving him completely defenseless against Erza’s superior strength.

Meanwhile, Wendy, far from remaining passive, had already begun gathering a substantial amount of air within her mouth, preparing for her own counterattack.

“Dragon’s Roar!” Wendy shouted, a magnificent magic circle unfolding before her.

Powerful gusts of wind intertwined, forming a colossal tornado that roared towards Erza, its force capable of shattering rocks and raising clouds of dust.

However, Wendy’s eyes widened in alarm, as she suddenly lost sight of Erza amidst the swirling chaos.

“Where is she?!” Wendy exclaimed, her voice laced with a mixture of confusion and apprehension.

The moment she sensed something amiss, Wendy swiftly turned her head towards Mest’s location, her gaze searching for any sign of Erza’s whereabouts.
