- ( humming )
- AH, JUST WHAT I NEEDED.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT BEING BACK HOME.
- Cana: THE TUB IS PRETTY GREAT.
- YEAH, IT'S THE BEST.
- IF YOU EVER WANT A ROOMMATE, I WOULDN'T MIND LIVING HERE AT ALL.
- IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE MAKING YOURSELF RIGHT AT HOME TO ME!

- YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY ADULT BEVERAGES
HIDDEN AWAY IN THIS PLACE, WOULD YOU?
- THIS IS MY HOUSE, YOU KNOW!
- Lucy: MY UNEXPECTED GUEST IS CANA ALBERONA.
OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF FAIRY TAIL MEMBERS
SHE'S BEEN IN THE GUILD THE LONGEST.
- ( sighs )
- Lucy: WHAT'S UP?
IS SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU?
- Cana: NO, I'M OKAY. BUT I'VE GOT TO ASK,
DO YOU LIKE, MAKE A HABIT OF BATHING WITH OTHER PEOPLE?
- DO YOU MAKE A HABIT OF BREAKING INTO HOUSES? SERIOUSLY--
- SO HOW HAVE THINGS BEEN GOING BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DAD THESE DAYS?
- UM...I DON'T KNOW. OKAY, I GUESS.
BUT I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY HEARD FROM HIM IN A WHILE.
- HMM.
- ( sighs )
- JUST SPILL IT ALREADY.
I'LL ALWAYS LISTEN IF YOU WANT TO TALK.
- ALRIGHT THEN. I'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING QUITTING THE GUILD.
- Lucy: WHAT?!
- ( Happy speaking )
- Chico: CHEERS! - Wang: CHEERS! - Joey: CHEERS!
- Lucy: CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
I MEAN, I THOUGHT CANA WAS IN FAIRY TAIL FOR LIFE.
I TRIED TO GET HER TO TELL ME WHY, BUT SHE WOULDN'T SAY.
- I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
SHE ALWAYS STARTS TALKING ABOUT QUITTING
WHENEVER THIS TIME OF YEAR ROLLS AROUND.
- SAY WHAT?!
OH, NO. IS SOMETHING BAD GOING TO HAPPEN?
- Lucy: IT SEEMS WAY LONGER,
BUT IT'S BEEN LESS THAN A YEAR SINCE I JOINED FAIRY TAIL.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF MAJOR EVENTS AND TRADITIONS
THAT I'VE NEVER BEEN A PART OF. AND LITTLE DID I KNOW,
ONE OF THE BIGGEST WAS GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE VERY SOON.
- LET'S GET TO WORK, HAPPY. -AYE!
- HEY, IF YOU'RE GOING ON A JOB, TAKE ME WITH YOU!
- IT'S SOLO-MISSION SEASON, SORRY.
- WE'LL HANG OUT WITH YOU WHEN WE GET BACK.
- YOU BETTER WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU PINK-HAIRED FREAK!
- AND YOU BETTER TRY TO STAY OUT OF MY WAY, MR. GRUMPY PANTIES!
- YOU GUYS REALLY HAVE TIME TO STAND AROUND AND ARGUE?
- ( both ) YEAH, GOOD POINT.
- I'M BACK.
- Mirajane: FORGET YOUR CLOTHES AGAIN?
- NO TIME TO WORRY ABOUT IT,
I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS JOB, SEE YA!
- Mirajane: BYE-BYE, GOOD LUCK.
- HE'S ON A SOLO GIG, TOO?
- HEY, THIS IS A JOB FOR A REAL MAN.
- Mirajane: ALRIGHT, BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
- I'M GOING TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THIS JOB OVER HERE, OKAY?
- GOT MY SIGHTS ON THIS ONE.
- I CALLED DIBS ON THAT JOB, WARREN!
- I'M SORRY, PAL. BUT IT'S FINDERS KEEPERS.
- ( both ) THE GREAT AND MIGHTY TEAM SHADOW GEAR
IS SPLITTING UP FOR NOW.
- WHY IS EVERYONE GOING CRAZY?
- Mirajane: YOU'LL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH.
- Wendy: HUH?
- ( both ) YOU CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE?
- YES, A TRAIT THAT THE EXCEED QUEEN AND I SHARE.
BOTH OF US WERE BLESSED WITH THE RARE GIFT OF CLAIRVOYANCE.
I WASN'T AWARE OF IT UNTIL RECENTLY,
BUT I BELIEVE I HAVE A SMALL DEGREE OF CONTROL OVER IT.
- WOW, THAT'S TOTALLY AMAZING.
- SO CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH GUY
IS GOING TO BE MY FUTURE HUSBAND?
- I'M AFRAID I'M NOT ABLE TO SEE THAT FAR AHEAD.
BUT MAYBE, SOMETHING SOONER?
OKAY, KEEP AN EYE ON MACAO OVER THERE.
I PREDICT THAT ANY MOMENT NOW, WAKABA WILL WALK UP TO HIM
AND START DISCUSSING THE YOUNGER FOLKS IN THE GUILD.
- ( both ) LET'S SEE.
- WHAT'S SHAKING, OLD TIMER? - HEY, PAL.
- YOU WERE RIGHT, HE WALKED UP JUST LIKE YOU SAID!
- BE QUIET SO WE CAN HEAR WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
- WE'RE GETTING TO THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN, BUDDY.
- YEAH, IT REALLY TAKES ME BACK.
- Wakaba: THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS, WEREN'T THEY?
- Macao: WE WERE FULL OF SPUNK BACK THEN.
- Wakaba: TELL YOU WHAT, THIS NEW CROP IS SOMETHING ELSE.
ESPECIALLY THEIR DERRIERES!
- WHAT, NO WAY!
- YOU MORE OF A BREAST MAN?
- LOOK, I'M TRYING TO RAISE A KID.
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO AROUND CHECKING OUT BUTTS.
- THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'RE A LEG MAN, AREN'T YA?
- Macao: NOW YOU'RE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE.
I'LL STAND BEHIND A PAIR OF LEGS ANY DAY.
- THAT IS SO COOL!
- YEAH, YOU HIT IT ON THE NOSE.
YOU DIDN'T TELL US IT WOULD BE SO CREEPY, THOUGH.
- QUITE HONESTLY, WE SHOULD HAVE ALL SEEN THAT ONE COMING.
- STILL, I'M SUPER IMPRESSED.
- MM-HM. - THANK YOU.
BUT I STILL HAVE MUCH MORE TO LEARN
ABOUT HOW TO PROPERLY CONTROL IT.
- HEY GUYS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT INDOORS.
- HAD ENOUGH?
- IT SEEMS I CAN'T STAY IN MY ORIGINAL FORM FOR VERY LONG.
- STILL, I FIND YOU QUITE IMPRESSIVE.
YOUR BLADE SKILLS ARE TOP-NOTCH.
- YOU FLATTER ME. I THINK I SHOULD BE THE ONE
COMPLIMENTING YOU.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK, ERZA?
MY CAT IS A FORCE OF NATURE, AIN'T HE?
- I ASSUME THIS IS WHAT THE GUILD REFERS TO
AS AN S-CLASS SKILL LEVEL?
- ( humming )
- I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE
ARE FREAKING GUNG-HO ABOUT GOING OUT ON JOBS,
WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS JUST GOOFING OFF
LIKE THERE'S NOTHING HAPPENING.
- IT WILL ALL MAKE SENSE TO YOU TOMORROW.
- Male Narrator: THE FOLLOWING DAY,
ALMOST EVERY MEMBER OF FAIRY TAIL HAS GATHERED IN THE GUILD HALL
AWAITING A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT.
- WHAT'S ALL THE COMMOTION ABOUT?
- BEATS ME.
- I THINK THE MASTER IS GOING TO TELL US
ABOUT SOMETHING BIG HAPPENING.
- CAN'T SAY I'M EXCITED.
- WHAT'S HE GOING TO SAY?
THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!
- WE WORKED OUR LITTLE TAILS OFF, RIGHT?
DON'T WORRY.
- JUST CALM DOWN, NATSU. YOU'VE GOT THIS.
- THE TENSION HERE IS HUGE, VERY MANLY.
- I'M DYING TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
- THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLY EXCITING.
- Juvia: GRAY IS ALMOST WITHIN REACH.
- Lucy: YEAH, BE STILL MY HEART.
- ( crowd cheering )
- HERE WE GO!
- PLEASE DON'T MAKE US WAIT ANY LONGER!
- YEAH, JUST TELL US ALREADY!
- I'M STILL SO LOST. TELL US WHAT NOW?
- AHEM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FAIRY TAIL GUILD'S TIME HONORED TRADITION,
I WILL NOW ANNOUNCE
THIS YEARS ENTRANTS FOR THE S-CLASS WIZARD PROMOTION TRIAL!
- ( crowd cheers )
- THIS IS WHY EVERYONE'S BEEN ACTING CRAZY LATELY.
- I'M ALL FIRED UP NOW!
- Erza: PLEASE BE QUIET, EVERYONE.
- SHUT UP AND LET THE MASTER FINISH TALKING.
- THE TRIAL THIS YEAR WILL TAKE PLACE ON TENROU ISLAND.
OUR GUILD'S SACRED GROUND.
- ( crowd talking excitedly )
- DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING TO MAKE THEM DO?
- WELL, IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT EVERY YEAR.
- IT'S BASICALLY A SERIOUSLY TOUGH JOB.
- BUT IF YOU'RE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF,
HE'LL BUMP YOU UP TO AN S-CLASS WIZARD.
- THE STRENGTH THAT YOU POSSESS INSIDE, YOUR CHARACTER,
AND YOUR HEARTS. THESE ARE WHAT I CONSIDERED
WHILE MAKING MY SELECTION.
AND I HAVE CHOSEN EIGHT PARTICIPANTS.
- Makarov: NATSU DRAGNEEL.
- THANK YOU, SIR.
- YOU'VE GOT THIS IN THE BAG, BUDDY.
- Makarov: GRAY FULLBUSTER.
- IT'S FINALLY MY TIME TO MOVE UP.
- Makarov: JUVIA LOXAR.
- REALLY? THE MASTER CHOSE ME?
- Makarov: ELFMAN.
- S-CLASS DESERVES A REAL MAN LIKE ME.
- BEST OF LUCK, BIG BROTHER.
- Makarov: CANA ALBERONA.
- Makarov: FRIED JUSTINE.
- SO I'LL BE FOLLOWING IN LAXUS' FOOTSTEPS.
- Makarov: LEVY MCGARDEN.
- I'M SO STOKED ABOUT THIS.
- ( both ) LEVY IS TOTALLY GOING TO WIN THIS ONE!
- Makarov: AND MEST GRYDER.
- Guild Member #1: MEST!
- Guild Member #2: HE ALMOST MADE S-CLASS LAST TIME.
- I WORKED SO HARD, SO WHY DIDN'T HE PICK ME THIS YEAR?
- IT'S BOUND TO HAPPEN SOME DAY, BUCK UP.
- Droy and Jet: LEVY'S GOING TO BE--
- Max: WELL, MASTER FINALLY CHOSE NATSU.
- Warren: DON'T FORGET GRAY.
- I'M SO PROUD OF THOSE KIDS.
- I BET THEY'RE PRETTY EXCITED.
- WHEN I GROW UP, I'M GOING TO BE AN S-CLASS WIZARD, TOO.
YOU JUST WATCH ME.
- Lucy: I GET IT NOW,
EVERYONE WANTED MASTER TO PICK THEM FOR THE TRIAL
SO THEY WORKED THEIR BUTTS OFF TO IMPRESS HIM.
- I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT, YOU GUYS!
- Lucy: I WONDER...
IS THIS WHY SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT QUITTING?
- ALTHOUGH EIGHT WIZARDS HAVE BEEN SELECTED,
ONLY ONE WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS.
THE TRIAL WILL BEGIN IN ONE WEEK'S TIME.
SO YOU'D BETTER STEP UP YOUR PREPARATIONS.
- HE'S ONLY GOING TO CHOOSE ONE?
- I'D PUT MY MONEY ON FRIED THIS YEAR.
- I'VE GOT TO GO WITH MEST.
- NATSU AND GRAY ARE NO SLOUCHES.
- HOW COME HE PICKED JUVIA, BUT I GET PASSED OVER?
I THOUGHT THE OLD MAN LIKED ME MORE THAN HER.
- YOU SEEM TO HAVE A SHADY REPUTATION IN THE GUILD FOR SOME REASON.
I GET THE FEELING THEY DON'T TRUST YOU VERY MUCH.
- THAT'S CRAZY! THEY CAN ALL TRUST ME JUST FINE!
- Gajeel: I JUST CAN'T TELL THEM
WHAT I'M REALLY DOING AROUND HERE.
- Pantherlily: TAKE IT UP WITH ERZA.
- SORRY, BUT YOU'RE NOT READY YET.
- THIS WHOLE THING SUCKS!
- AND AS USUAL, EVERYBODY LOSES CONTROL.
- HEY, IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG, CARLA?
- NO, I'M FINE.
SO STRANGE, WHAT WAS I SEEING?
WHO WAS THAT?
- Lucy: LITTLE DID I KNOW, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T CHOSEN
BY THE MASTER TO PARTICIPATE,
I WOULD STILL PLAY A ROLE.
AND SOMETHING ELSE UNEXPECTED WOULD TAKE PLACE.
- Makarov: FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR NEWCOMERS,
LET'S GO OVER THE RULES OF THE CHALLENGE, SHALL WE?
- THE EIGHT PARTICIPANTS WILL EACH CHOOSE A PARTNER.
THIS PERSON WILL ALSO BE ALLOWED TO TRAIN WITH THEM
DURING THE WEEK LEADING UP TO THE EVENT.
- A PARTNER?
- YEAH, ULTIMATELY IT'S A BATTLE BETWEEN TWO-PERSON TEAMS.
- A BIG PART OF IT IS PUTTING THEIR FRIENDSHIPS TO THE TEST AS WELL.
- OBSERVE THESE TWO RULES WHEN CHOOSING YOUR PARTNER--
NUMBER ONE, THEY MUST BE A MEMBER OF FAIRY TAIL.
AND NUMBER TWO, YOUR CHOICE CANNOT BE AN S-CLASS WIZARD.
- HUH.
- BUT THAT ONLY RULES OUT A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE.
NEITHER ERZA, MIRAJANE, NOR GILDARTS CAN BE CHOSEN.
- GUESS A TEAM WITH THOSE GUYS ON IT WOULD BE PRETTY HARD TO BEAT.
- WE'LL REVEAL ALL THE PARTICULAR DETAILS
OF THE TRIAL ONCE WE'VE ARRIVED ON TENROU ISLAND.
BUT KNOW THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO GET PAST ERZA TO CLAIM VICTORY.
- ( gasping )
- AND I'LL BE DOING MY VERY BEST
TO HELP WEED OUT THE REST OF YOU RIGHT BESIDE HER.
- ( gasping )
- SO THE ONLY WAY SOMEBODY CAN BECOME AN S-CLASS WIZARD
IS BY DEFEATING ERZA AND MIRAJANE?
- BUT THE RUMOR HAS IT, THEY'VE BEEN ORDERED
TO HOLD BACK A LITTLE BIT.
- I STILL DON'T ENVY ANYBODY THAT HAS TO TAKE THEM ON.
- QUIT YOUR BELLYACHING.
THE THREE OF US HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS TRIAL.
IT'S ONLY FAIR YOU DO, TOO.
- NO WAY, HE SAID, "THE THREE OF US?"
- SWEET TUNA!
- I'M FINALLY GOING TO GET TO FIGHT OLD MAN GILDARTS!
- THAT'S NOT GOOD NEWS!
- THE EIGHT PARTICIPANTS I NAMED EARLIER
AND THEIR CHOSEN PARTNERS ARE ASKED TO MEET
AT THE PORT OF HARGEON, ONE WEEK FROM TODAY.
SO GET TO WORK.
- MAN, THEY SET THE BAR CRAZY HIGH THIS YEAR.
- I'M KIND OF SURPRISED NONE OF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN CHOSEN
FOR THIS THING BEFORE.
- Natsu: I'M READY FOR THE BIG TIME. S-CLASS, HERE I COME!
- I KNOW I'M THE MANLIEST GUY IN THE GUILD,
BUT I'M AS SCARED AS A LITTLE GIRL RIGHT NOW!
- Wendy: IT SURE SOUNDS TOUGH TO ME.
- Lisanna: GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY.
- I'LL BE COUNTING ON YOU.
- DON'T WORRY. I'VE GOT YOUR BACK, OLD BUDDY.
- Tommens: THAT'S RIGHT.
- WE NEED AN S-CLASS MAN IN OUR RANKS
NOW THAT LAXUS AIN'T AROUND.
HE'S GOT BIG SHOES TO FILL,
BUT I CAN'T THINK OF ANYONE WHO COULD DO IT BETTER.
BESIDES, WE'VE GOT TO SHOW EVERYONE
THE THUNDER LEGION'S STILL GOT IT!
- Tommens: REPRESENT!
- Lucy: WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE FRIED'S PARTNER
IS GOING TO BE BIXLOW.
I THINK THEY'LL PROBABLY BE
A PRETTY TOUGH TEAM TO BEAT, DON'T YOU?
- JEEZ, LUCY, WAY TO BE ENCOURAGING.
- SPEAKING OF PARTNERS,
DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHO YOU'RE GOING TO CHOOSE YET?
- I'M GOING WITH MY LITTLE BUDDY, OF COURSE. - AYE!
- HEY, NOT SO FAST THERE PINKY.
IF THIS THING ENDS UP BEING SOME KIND OF RACE,
HAVING A PARTNER THAT CAN FLY IS AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
- WELL, IT SEEMS FAIR TO ME.
- Gray: I'M COOL WITH IT TOO.
IF THIS ENDS BEING A BATTLE, IT WILL BE A DISADVANTAGE.
- I'M SITTING RIGHT HERE, YOU KNOW.
YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO MAKE NATSU
AN S-CLASS WIZARD!
- WELL, YOU BETTER GET OVER IT.
'CAUSE THERE AIN'T NO WAY YOU'RE BREAKING UP OUR TEAM.
- LET'S GO, PAL!
- SCREW A BUNCH OF SITTING AROUND,
WE'VE GOT TRAINING TO DO!
- Happy: AYE, SIR!
- I KNOW I'VE BEEN GONE FOR TWO YEARS, BUT STILL--
I CAN'T BELIEVE NATSU'S GOTTEN STRONG ENOUGH
TO BE IN THE RUNNING FOR AN S-CLASS RANK.
- Lisanna: HE'S ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT IF HE CAN BECOME
A MORE POWERFUL WIZARD, HE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IGNEEL AGAIN.
HE PROBABLY HAS TWICE THE MOTIVATION FOR MOVING AHEAD
THAN ANYONE ELSE.
- MAYBE SO.
(thinking ) GOOD LUCK, NATSU.
YOU'LL SEE HIM SOMEDAY.
- I THINK I MIGHT PREFER TO WITHDRAW
FROM THE TRIAL THIS YEAR.
- HUH? BUT, WHY?
- IT'S JUST...
I'D MUCH RATHER BE SOMEBODY'S PARTNER THAN RIVAL.
- SAY WHAT?
- WELL, I MEAN, IF I-- IF IT WERE MY CHOICE...
- IT'S OBVIOUS SHE'D RATHER BE YOUR PARTNER. - YOU THINK?
- DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO STEAL HIM AWAY FROM ME!
- I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!
- Juvia: BE HONEST WITH ME GRAY,
WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE THIS BLONDE BIMBO ON YOUR TEAM?
- SIMMER DOWN, OKAY?
I'VE ALREADY GOT SOMEONE LINED UP. - YOU DO?
- LONG TIME NO SEE, YOU GUYS.
- YOU'RE USING ONE OF MY SPIRITS?!
- SERIOUSLY?
- WE WORKED THIS WHOLE THING OUT A YEAR AGO.
- PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS TOO HARD, LUCY.
BUT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PUT A HOLD ON OUR CONTRACT WHILE I TEAM UP WITH GRAY.
JUST IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING,
I USED MY OWN POWER IN ORDER TO PASS THROUGH THE GATE.
SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF MAGIC BECAUSE OF ME.
- 'KAY.
BUT I KIND OF WISH YOU WOULD HAVE RUN THIS BY ME FIRST.
- ALRIGHT HAPPY, IT'S TIME TO GET STARTED...
- ( both ) ...ON SOME HARDCORE TRAINING!
- Natsu: WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO START WITH.
- Happy: WELL, IT'S SNOWING RIGHT NOW
SO THE CHOICE IS PRETTY CLEAR TO ME.
- RIGHT YOU ARE, OLD PAL. LET THE TRAINING BEGIN!
WAIT, HOLD ON!
- FOR THE FIRST EXERCISE, YOU'LL BE WORKING ON DEFENSE TECHNIQUES
BY STOPPING THESE GIANT BOULDERS USING ONLY YOUR BODY.
- CAN'T WE TRY SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD?!
- Elfman: WAIT A MINUTE, LOKE.
ARE YOU STILL A FULL-FLEDGED MEMBER OF THE GUILD?
- Loke: MM-HMM.
SEE? I'M STILL A PROUD FAIRY TAIL WIZARD.
AND AS SUCH, IT'S MY DUTY TO HELP GRAY REACH HIS FULL POTENTIAL
AND MAKE IT TO S-CLASS.
- I APPRECIATE THE HELP, BUDDY. - I'VE GOT YOUR BACK.
- I DON'T REMEMBER THESE GUYS BEING EACH OTHER'S "BFFs" BEFORE TODAY.
- SO FEEL FREE TO COME AT ME WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT.
WE'LL GET HOT AND HEAVY LIKE WE DID THE FIRST TIME WE MET.
- ( gasps ) HOT...
AND HEAVY?
WOW-WW.
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HANDLE IT.
- EASY THERE, GIRL.
- HEY, I'LL BE ON YOUR TEAM, JUVIA.
- YOU BARELY EVEN KNOW HER.
- ACTUALLY, ME AND THE JUVIA BACK IN EDOLAS
CAME TO BE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS.
NOT THAT YOU'RE ANYTHING LIKE HER.
YOU'RE A LOT SWEETER.
- YOU WOULD CHOOSE ME?
- SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY? - I SUPPOSE SO. BUT I HAVE A FEELING YOU'RE JUST USING ME
TO GET TO GRAY... - Lucy: WHY IS SHE ALWAYS SO PARANOID?
- I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS TO ME, LITTLE SIS!
YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD
GO THROUGH THE TRIAL WITHOUT A PARTNER?!
- NO. YOU'VE BEEN GETTING SUCH AN INTENSE STARE
I THOUGHT YOU ALREADY HAD SOMEONE. - HUH?
( gasps )
- I THINK SHE MIGHT BE A LITTLE UPSET
THAT FRIED TEAMED UP WITH BIXLOW INSTEAD OF HER.
- SHE'S LOOKING RIGHT AT ME.
- WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
- Elfman: HER INTENSE STARE IS ACTUALLY MORE LIKE...
...PETRIFYING!
- Happy: HERE WE GO!
SPECIAL EXERCISE NUMBER 15 WILL DEFINITELY PUMP UP
THOSE SKINNY LEG MUSCLES!
HEY, YOU WANT TO TAKE A BREAK, BIG GUY?
- INTENSE PAIN AIN'T STOPPING ME!
LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE, 'KAY?
- Happy: SPECIAL EXERCISE NUMBER 16.
- GUESS I'D BETTER BE HEADING TO TENROU ISLAND.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE, NATSU.
- THOSE S-CLASS HOTSHOTS THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO STAND IN MY WAY, HUH?
I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM TRY!
- Happy: AYE, SIR!
- Jet: MASTER CHOSE YOU!
- Droy: YOU'RE GOING TO BE AN AMAZING S-CLASS WIZARD.
YOU'RE GOING TO PICK ME TO BE YOUR PARTNER, AREN'T YOU?
- YOU? INSTEAD OF ME?
I'M A HUNDRED TIMES FASTER.
- Droy: BUT LET'S FACE IT, I'M THE BETTER FIGHTER.
- Jet: WHATEVER, YOU'VE JUST GOT A THING FOR LEVY.
- Droy: OH, AND YOU DON'T?
- IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE IT TO S-CLASS,
YOU SHOULD PICK ME INSTEAD OF THOSE TWO CLOWNS.
- SERIOUSLY?
- I GET CHANCE TO BEAT UP ON ALL THOSE OTHER IDIOTS
IF WE DO THIS, DON'T I?
- I GUESS THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME FIGHTING INVOLVED.
BUT I'M SO PUNY AND WEAK.
WE'LL PROBABLY JUST LOSE RIGHT AWAY.
- DON'T GO WIMPING OUT BEFORE THE WHOLE THING EVEN GETS STARTED, YOU HEAR?
- HEY, LET GO! PLEASE, PUT ME DOWN!
- I'LL MAKE YOU BIGGER THAN YOU'VE EVER BEEN, LITTLE GIRL.
- Wendy: HOW COME YOU'VE BEEN SO QUIET TODAY?
I WISH YOU WOULD TELL ME WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU.
- I'M NOT SURE.
I KEEP HAVING THESE STRANGE VISIONS--
SOMETHING GOING WRONG AT THE TRIAL.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE ANY PART OF IT, UNDERSTAND?
- Wendy: DON'T WORRY, I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S GOING TO PICK ME
TO BE THEIR PARTNER.
- Mest: I WOULDN'T BE SO SURE
ABOUT THAT, SKY MAIDEN.
- OH, IT'S YOU.
WHO ARE YOU, AGAIN?
- MY NAME'S MEST GRYDER.
I WAS MYSTOGAN'S PUPIL.
- SOUP'S ON! YOU READY TO EAT?
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG, NATSU?
- I'M FINALLY GETTING MY BIG CHANCE.
AND I WILL BE AN S-CLASS WIZARD.
- Happy: AYE.
- Lucy: WHOA, CHECK IT OUT PLUE.
I DIDN'T THINK IT EVER SNOWED IN MAGNOLIA.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING PASSED OUT IN THE ALLEYWAY?
- Cana: AH-HH.
I OWE YOU ONE. IF YOU HADN'T NOTICED ME
I WOULD HAVE FROZEN MY BUTT OFF OUT THERE TONIGHT.
- NO JOKE, NOW YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHY YOU'VE BEEN ACTING
LIKE SUCH A LUNATIC LATELY?
- YOU MEAN MIRA HASN'T ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT IT?
I GET KIND OF CRAZY AROUND S-CLASS TRIAL TIME.
IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR.
- DOES THIS HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
WITH YOU SAYING THAT YOU WANT TO QUIT THE GUILD?
- THIS WILL BE MY FIFTH TRIAL.
THAT MEANS I'VE TRIED FOUR TIMES,
BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GO ALL THE WAY.
BECAUSE I SUCK. - OH, DON'T BE SILLY.
IS THAT ALL?
JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T MADE IT YET
DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T.
- I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S FAILED FOUR TIMES.
THAT'S WHY THIS WILL BE MY LAST ONE.
IF I DON'T PASS IT THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO LEAVE FAIRY TAIL.
- HEY, NOW. THERE ARE PLENTY OF GUILD MEMBERS WHO AREN'T S-CLASS.
- WELL, I DON'T WANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE LOSERS, OK?!
I HAVE TO BE AN S-CLASS WIZARD.
OR I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO LOOK HIM IN THE EYE.
- ( melancholy music plays )
- ( music continues )
- DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
THAT'S WHY IF I DON'T MAKE IT THIS TIME,
I'M QUITTING FAIRY TAIL FOR GOOD.
MY MIND IS MADE UP.
- CANA, WILL YOU PLEASE LET ME BE YOUR PARTNER?
FAIRY TAIL JUST WOULDN'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.
I PROMISE, I CAN HELP YOU BECOME AN S-CLASS WIZARD!
- ( trembling )
- THANK YOU.
- Male Narrator: ONE WEEK LATER,
OUR CONTESTANTS GATHER AT THE PORT OF HARGEON.
WITH THEIR HEARTS RACING AND THEIR DREAMS ON THE LINE,
THEY BEGIN THE S-CLASS WIZARD PROMOTION TRIAL.
BUT WHO WILL ADVANCE?
- ( theme music playing )
- ( singing in Japanese )
- ( laughing )
- Natsu: WHOA, WHAT'S WITH THE CREEPY LOOK?
- Happy: YOU WANT TO KNOW?
- Natsu: EH, PROBABLY NOT, REALLY.
- Happy: THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED IN MY FAVOR
AND TODAY I'M SUPPOSED TO BE EXTREMELY LUCKY IN LOVE!
CANA READ MY FORTUNE EARLIER. - Natsu: HUH.
- Happy: IF I CAN PULL OFF SOME MAJORLY COOL STUFF IN THE TRIAL,
CARLA WILL FALL HEAD-OVER-HEELS FOR ME!
- ( giggling )
- ( Happy and Natsu speaking )
- Natsu: YOU KNOW CARLA ISN'T EVEN GOING TO BE THERE, DON'T YOU?
- Happy: WHAT-TT?!
OH, MAN!
- Natsu: I GUESS ALL THAT GOOD LUCK
IS GOING TO GO TO WASTE, PAL.
