Chapter 159: Tenrou Island (3)
~Third POV~
Elsewhere in route "D" Path Juvia and Lisanna were on all fours inside a cavern cave room with ruins shown from the signs of battle the two had battle scratches on their bodies as Juvia muttered in shock at their enemy, "She's strong…!!! Has she always been… this strong?"
Lisanna commented on their enemy armor preparing to continue fighting through gritted teeth of the situation, "Armor of the Sea! It protects her completely against your attacks Juvia! She's really not letting this go easy…"
The enemy they had to get past was none other than Erza in a serious tone matching her stern expression at the two, "Well you two? Juvia won't become S-Class if you can't manage to get past me first."
The two gritted their teeth and tried to defeat Erza as soon as possible…
/////
*Oooooo*
An ominous sensation was felt once Elfman and Evergreen both managed to get out of the cavern path of "A" Path reaching their destination shivering and facing another powerful enemy like Juvia's team situation.
*Wiggle*
*Wiggle*
The both of them shook as Elfman broke the ice seeing his enemy steeling his resolve despite his shaking legs, "So in the end were facing off against my big sis… what bad luck…"
Evergreen nodded agreeing commenting on their bad luck biting the tip of her nail, "Yeah… just our luck to face the She-Devil."
*GM*
*GM*
*GM*
She showed off her power in her <Satan Soul> form cracking her knuckles with a light gentle smile on her face sending shivers of fear into the both of them.
Mira merely laughed at them shaking in their feet despite Elfman transforming into his <Beast Soul> Full Body Take Over even then he shook prepared.
Mira finally took her moment to speak in a calm tone flaring her Magic Power causing a shockwave to be felt, "Now then little bro I may have helped you achieve full body takeover magic after painful hours of training I won't go easy on you. You may be my brother, but I won't pull my punches… Elfman!!"
*VOOOM*
Seeing no choice the both of them rushed at each other clashing their fist resulting in a shockwave as Elfman scared but determined exclaimed, "Maybe so… but I won't go down without a fight!!!!"
*BOOOM*

Natsu soon encountered Gildarts in his path as he began to duke it out in glee, "Here I come Gildarts!! Woooah!!!"
Igniting his hands on fire Gildarts tried to make small talk to him standing his ground, "Calm down, Natsu! You have to be ready for this… Come on…"
*FWOOM*
He took the hit of Natsu magic head-on causing an explosion as Natsu's eyes widened in shock seeing his attack was undone easily.
*Whooo*
Gildarts grinned using his <Crush > Magic happily launching Natsu back.
*DWOOOOM*
Launching Natsu into the air as he regained himself igniting himself on fire smirking finally battling Gildarts seriously, "That's more like it!! I won't give up till I finally win!! Guess I'm gonna use my secret weapon. I was saving this till trick the trickster but against you Gildarts I won't hold anything back. Aggggggh….!!!"
*Brrrr*
Clenching both his fists beginning to condense his Fire Magic Gildart's eyes were intrigued seeing Natsu building his Magic Power rubbing his chin, "Oh? You really are serious huh? Fine, I'll let you power up to see how far you've grown Natsu."
*Brrrr*
Natsu built up his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic as he channeled the Mana Method fueling his fire Gildart's eyes widened in surprise as his usual fire turned blue.
*BOOOM*
Releasing his newest form Natsu takes his fighting stance panting bringing it out but feels empowered by his blue flames the truest most powerful form as Gildart comments on his increase in Magic Power impressed, "Whistle~ You have gotten seriously powerful in the short amount of time this year. You think this power-up is enough to beat me?"
Natsu took a fighting stance explaining to Gildarts what his new spell is expressing a feral grin excited to test out his new power, "Maybe or maybe not… all I know is that I'll give it my all to defeat you. I call this <True Fire Dragon Mode>. Fire so strong that it burns through magic leaving destructive explosions in its wake. Better prepare yourself Gildarts because I'm about to kick this fight into second gear!!"
Raising his hand up and turning it into a fist Natsu immediately launched an incredibly fast punch shocking Gildarts of the speed just barely blocking it with <Crush > Magic coating himself, "Try this on for size old man!! <True Fire Dragon's Explosive Iron Fist>!!"
*PEW*
*BOOM*
*BRRR*
Gildarts managed to block the fire but the sudden explosion from the attack shocked him seeing the <Crush > Magic over his hand started to burn immediately from the explosion forcing Gildarts into dispelling his magic shocked, 'He burned through my <Crush > Magic with that explosion?! Damn… he wasn't kidding when he said his fire could burn through magic.'
Gildarts despite the new and improved Natsu <True Fire Dragon Mode> smirked feeling his blood pumping getting a tiny bit serious alarming Natsu, "Good…. Then this means you can handle this a bit seriously huh? Let's go Natsu!!! <Crush Magic Smash>!!!"
*Voooom*
Gildarts getting a bit serious dashing towards Natsu his fist fueled with his <Crush Magic> as the Fire Dragon Slayer smirked seeing he managed to force Gildarts to move towards him building up Fire Magic in his fist, "Good!! Finally, we get to clash this out, old man!!! <True Fire Dragon's Explosive Iron Fist>!!!"
With that, the two began to duke it out as the clash between the two caused an explosion.
*BOOOM*

~Silva K. POV~
*RM*
*RM*
*RM*
*ROOOOOOAR*
Hmm…
Ur was alerted feeling Gildart's Magic Power flaring up as I felt it leaning on a stone wall nearby feeling the earthquake that man was producing was crazy.
His magic power is incredible. But so is Natsu suddenly reaching Gildart base Magic Power feeling a new sense of power I didn't know he had in him.
Well, I did in the canon future not in the present, however, but it seems like my appearance caused not only Natsu but a few others to level up their game.
Their hard work will show and might even beat me if I'm not careful.
But that won't deter me from finding Mavis's gravesite as I'm busy reading Rongo Rongo the Map of the Island searching for her grave and memorizing it to memory to get one of my objectives done then busy handling everything else.
Tenrou Island is inhabited by a variety of peculiar animals, inhabiting specific zones of the island. Some of them are shown to be large and aggressive, something which only contributed to making the Exam held there more difficult.
I must take everything into consideration.
<Observe >.
[Location: Tenrou Island
Description: Tenrou Island is the holy ground of the Fairy Tail guild. It is also the resting place of Fairy Tail's first Guild Master, Mavis Vermillion. Tenrou Island is usually hidden by a strong barrier, which makes it impossible to find no matter what Magic is used; its purpose is said to be protecting Mavis Vermillion's resting place from possible intruders.
It was once a location of the now-destroyed Red Lizard Guild in X679. Tenrou Island, known for its hot, summer climate, is located far from the mainland, because of the clashing currents that are present in the area, Tenrou Island is unaffected by other climates and weather systems, which keeps the temperature high all year long.
The Great Tenrou Tree sinking its roots in the center of the island bestows divine protection upon those bearing the Fairy Tail crest, making it so that they cannot die while on the island, while at the same time enhancing their Magic Power. Such effects would be nullified in the unlikely case that the tree was destroyed.
-Those who bear the title of [Fairy Tail Wizard], [Fairy Tail Ace's], or [Fairy Tail Guild Master] will receive a 25% increase to all stats, 35% MP Recovery, and 5% HP Recovery.]
Damn…!!
Talk about OP Mavis.
I have to deal with one of the members attempting to interfere with the Test. But then my thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of footsteps seeing Cana and Lucy coming out from one of the paths.
Realizing that my friends would be harmed in the attack I gave each of them a Mana Bottle and Salves to help them recover their MP and HP for the fight ahead.
I merely spoke to them into agreeing to take the potions helping them without question doubting me.
Except for Mest doubting me but took the potions as a sign trying to ease up around me. That left only Natsu, Cana, Mest, Gray, and me with 5 teams remaining.
Seems like Elfman didn't make the cut. Sorry mate better luck next time.
Soon enough Makarov came with a smile on his face announcing the next stage of the S-Class Trials alerting everyone's attention, "Ahem! In any case, these five teams pass the first test! So, we will now… start the second test."
Instantly Natsu stood up regaining her fire in his eyes and challenging everyone here grinning in agreement at his words, "Gray!!! Cana!!! Levy!! Silva!!! I'll take you all on to become an S-Class Wizard!!!!"
Natsu declaring his challenge the Master soon grinned explaining the rules with a smug grin plastered on his face, "Good!! Keep that cheerful competitive spirit because you'll need it for this test!! The second round of the S-Class wizard qualification test is a hunt for the grave of the first Master, Mavis Vermillion. The time limit is 6 hours good luck!!"
*Vzzzm*
Surprising everyone the Makarov in front of us was a <Thought Projection> getting Ur attention as she smirked making a preemptive strike, "Silva go ahead I'll block their path. This is all yours my student since everyone will gun for you after this… <Ice Make: Rosey Prison>!!!"
*Wooosh*
Once Master Makarov finished everyone's eyes turned to me as I activated <Invisible Air> running away increasing my speed catching them by surprise thanking Ur for the time she spent, "Thank you Ur-sensei. I'll make sure to use my time wisely… Archer. Berserker. Saber. Lancer. Assassin. You all help Ur to keep them distracted."
*Vooom*
*Vooom*
Understanding my intent all of them rushed forward to stop the remaining contenders as I made my way to where the master was located.
I hear the sounds of my friends fighting against my Replica's in displeasure cursing me.
"Oh, hell nah!!"
"Luck and battle my ass that guy is going to win!"
"Come on Cana we can't - eeep!!"
"Come on and fight me like a man Silva!"
"Ice Make - stop dispeling my Magic whoa!!"
"Damn it his going to win again! Can someone stop him!"
Hahahaha!!
Sorry guys but better luck next year.
Now then I'll hunt down the man who would ruin my friend's home after I win first.
/////
*VOOOM*
Rushing forward with little to a few minutes of locating the grave of the first Guild Master of the Fairy Tail guild, Mavis Vermillion can be found through a gallery branching off from the cave marked by the letter "E" in a small clearing surrounded by thick vegetation.
Upon searching I found it.
I found Mavis Vermillion's grave as Mavis ghost smiling contently to its state.
This is a large yet sober structure composed of light stone, with a series of three rectangular steps, flanked by four small pillars with square sections, one sitting at each edge, being topped by a pair of vertically-placed, flat carved stones, with small geometrical parts jutting upwards on each summit, on the side nearest to the other stone, and a circular hole being generated by two carved semicircles present on each stone's inner side.
Vegetation has grown throughout the structure due to its age, with small plants and moss covering it here and there. Sitting at the grave's sides are two simple, short rectangular stones, similarly covered in vegetation, and leading to it is a pathway consisting of several small, flat stones placed one near the other without an accurate order.
In front of the structure, to the pathway's right, is the section of a short metal fence, with the top edges of its poles shaped like rough Fleur-de-lis.
Avoiding the animals living here and having my Replica's and Ur give me the time I finally found the Master expressing a grin on my face announcing to him, "Hello Master Makarov. Seems like I found this place in no time at all. This is Mavis's grave huh?"
Makarov merely smiled giving me a peace sign as he congratulated me for finding Mavis Grave in a proud tone, "Well done my boy! To think that just half a month ago you were such a young sprout turning into a magnificent tree. You earned your way kid I expect big things from you now on my boy."
I view her grave with Mavis smiling at me talking to me kicking her legs back and forth congradulating me, "Welcome Silva, and congrats on becoming S-Class Wizard my friend. Welcome to the big leagues."
[Ding!]
[You obtained the title S-Class Wizard!]
Pressing the title, I began to see the perks of using this title.
[Title: S-Class Wizard
Description: A Mage/Wizard that passed difficult trials achieving great feats that deserve praise for making it this far. Any tough jobs will be done by the specialized professionals.
This title given to those who pass trials earning their rank. Your stats will increase by +25 when equipped with this title.]
Perfect.
[Objective #3 Completed!]
Finishing up this I took my attention towards to Masters thanking them for my new title, "Thank you very much for the praise Masters. But…"
They both looked confused as my eye darted towards the distance ahead voicing my concern eyeing members of Grimoire Hearts turned serious eyeing the members approaching us slowly glaring at them, "Why do we have members of the Grimoire Hearts in Tenrou Island?"
Proving my point I pointed my finger at them channeling my Magic forcing them to act immediately out of their hiding spot.
*VOOOM*
*VOOOOM*
Appearing immediately a dark guild member of Grimoire Hearts rushed in at me in glee trying to take my life, "Hahaha!! You're the one on the bounty!! You are getting killed –"
*BAM*
Before they could respond they got swatted immediately as Makarov's glares intensified seeing them here announcing and activating a signal, "You fools dare to tread in our home!!! I don't know how many or how you got in but you aren't harming my children!!! Time to activate Condition Red!!"
*BANG*
Releasing a red light into the sky Makarov informed me what I needed to do in a stern tone, "To think the day one of my kids finally become S-Class only to be sullied by Dark Guild hands… Boy return with the others and stick together I'll handle this."
He left immediately leaving Mavis concerned sticking me before she responded surprising me with an offer I didn't think she would give to me, "Silva… I'm sensing a lot of Magic Power from the enemy's side with ill intent. And some powerful figures among them your strength alone won't be enough… Silva will you be willing to use one of Fairy Tail's Great Spells to help your friends."
