Chapter 198: The Grand Magic Games (9)

~Silva K. POV~

"Cheers!"

"Today we felt good!"

"Aye!!!"

"We're not in a guild now, so don't break anything!"

Today is a great day to end. Everyone in the guild is enjoying their time driving and partying like usual…

Well… almost like usual.

At my table, I see that Juvia, Erza, and Mira are trying to earn me some attention causing some eyes to land on me. But it's not my idea I would give this Harem idea a try but Erza's forcing the idea till I submit.

Frankly, I'm sensing a payback for when I hit her for being dumb during the casino. Maybe she took the idea for it seriously and used it against me.

Isn't that an interesting twist? But then again, I don't want her to slug me over the head with her armor on.

Currently, though they are trying to give me a piece of pumpkin pie as Erza tries to hand it to me roughly with a fork, "Now then Silva you must grow big and strong. Say ahhh…"

What the hell Erza?! I'm not a toddler!

Juvia goes for a bashful approach carrying a spoon as she tries to spoon-feed me the piece of pie, "Juvia won't be bested! You can have this special taste my beloved I guarantee you it will taste lovely!"

… If that's the case, why do I see small traces of wetness – she didn't just put her love juices on it, did she?

… You know what? Don't think too hard about it too much – 

*Gulp*

Before I could respond Mira immediately placed the piece of food as she got closer allowing me to see her melons causing me to blush, "There! See it's not that hard to feed you big boy. Ara ara… are you looking somewhere naughty?"

What the hell is happening to my life? Why did these girls have to fall – okay Juvia is a given.

Erza not so much really. I mean I did date her that one time and been close…

Mira is a pain to my existence. But has this sense of humor we both understand and try not to over breach with our pranks…

Although… having the attention of these 3 beautiful girls does feel nice. As my eyes tilt over to Levy talking to Gajeel more often I couldn't help but be happy for them.

The same for Lucy and Lisanna with Natsu. You know I was kind of worried they fell for me thankfully it was merely a love crush sight thing for them.

And besides that, I view Levy and Lucy as friends rather than lovers. I prefer to keep it that way.

Because in the end, it was those guys that helped them be there in their time of need. I wasn't with them training nor was I there for their change or bonds to become the way they are.

Although I think Natsu might be ending up with 2 wives by the end of this. Then good for him since I can tell the two like him.

And I can't blame them. One was saved from nearly becoming a slave and the other is a childhood friend. But I can't help but blame myself that Lisanna is doing this route with Lucy with Natsu because of my influence or not.

However, I guess the future will just have to see what they have in store for us. When the ladies finally backed off to bickering with Mira I saw Mavis gently towards me asking a question, "I see mister ladies' man is doing well… yet this wasn't once based on your choice was it?"

At that, I chuckled lightly giving us some space between them having <Infinity > active so that they won't hear our conversation as I laugh at myself, "Hahaha… yeah. Not my choice but damn Erza is certainly wise with her negotiation tactics."

She laughed at me chuckling as I expressed a tick mark at her words pointing at me childishly, "Hahaha!!! Oh my god! I wish I got to see that!!! Was it that like that time during the casino trying to convince her to help? I knew I liked her negotiation tactics seeing her deal with those pirates! She's a keeper!"

I merely turned away that only caused her to laugh even harder at my misfortune. Geez, with friends like her I feel that no enemy would bother to stop me.

But in the end, her laughter finally subsided I responded expressing some concern as she noticed my worry, "Yeah… but I wonder if I'm not being too much of a burden on them. Level with me here Mavis Erza says she wants me to give them a chance of making this work do you happen to have any experience in this subject?"

She shook her head giving me a deadpan expression replying to my pleas, "Not much. I'm merely a disembodied ghost you tell me if I have a game."

Fair point.

I sighed as Mavis gave me an answer as I took time to consider her words in a genuine kind tone, "Sigh… listen, Silva. I don't know if you 3 will share a happy or sad life in a harem or not. But think of it this way… At the very least you all tried to make this work and be truthful fulfilling any path to achieve your happiness. Simply be yourself and try to make those girls happy that's all they're asking of you?"

… I looked away not exactly sold on the idea. But I'm not going to deny them at least with the chance first.

I suppose only the future will tell. Oh, right I almost forgot about something else.

Coughing getting Mavis's attention her eyes went wide-eyed surprised by my words, "Oh, right. Mavis, would you like to pass on or do you want to stick around some more."

Her eyes widen at the implications of my words before trying to deny my words shaking her head in denial, "That… that's impossible. You know of my curse nothing can kill me because – "

I only smirked and laughed at her disbelief responding to her leaning back at the wall of the hotel, "Hahaha! Yeah maybe… or maybe not. I have my way, but I'll let you think about it if the offer still stands. Maybe enough to help you and Zeref die for good."

Mavis's eyes widen at my claims as I let her digest my words. If the Dragon Balls are powerful enough, then they would deal with the God of Life and Death.

For now, though the end is coming I can feel it. But for now, I'll give my all to protect my friends and return.

~Third POV~

[July 4, X791]

Upon entering the Grand Magic Games Stadium arena Domus Flau Natsu grinned eagerly for the games excited, "Alright we're on the fourth day! I'm fired up!"

Gray sharing the same enthusiasm agreed curtly nodding viewing the empty arena, "I wonder who should participate this time?"

Silva this time volunteered eager to finally have a go for a change of pace slamming his fist together, "I'll go. Haven't had the chance to try one of these games myself might be fun to stretch my legs."

They all nodded in agreement letting Silva have a go just as Chapati announced out loud getting everyone's attention of the rules, "Welcome back everyone to day 4 of the Grand Magic Games! The Competition this time will be a naval battle! Evert team must choose one member for this event!"

*Splash*

*Shiii*

Just as Chapati finishes announcing, a huge magic circle appears in the arena almost filling the entirety of it. The circle began to glow brightly, and a huge sphere made of water began to materialize, floating high in the center of the arena.

Upon seeing the large body of water Chapati began to explain the rules for this one getting everyone's attention to his every word, "If you leave the sphere of water, you're considered out of bounds and you lose. The one who is left in the water at the end is the winner. But when only two are left in the water a special rule goes into effect! This is called the 5-minute rule! When only 2 contestants are left, for a period of 5 minutes. The first one that goes out of bounds will be ranked last!"

Erza curtly nods her head commenting on the challenge ahead placing her hand under her chin, "So they're announcing the first event this time. You got it, Silva?"

Silva nodded as Lucy quickly asked in a curious tone in his direction, "You know how to swim right?"

Silva shrugged responding in a neutral tone as he began walking towards the arena smugly, "Probably. But I got this."

Walking down to the arena preparing to participate Natsu shouted at his direction, "Hey Silva! Make sure to get first place at least!"

Silva nodded as he replied with a happy grin on his face feeling like a bit of trolling, "Fine, fine I will. But I can knock out whoever is going for team B either first or last because of the 5-minute rule."

Natsu laughed harder at the idea completely agreeing with Silva's trolling tone with a smirk, "Hahaha!! You should totally do it!"

*Splash*

Entering inside the water sphere all the contestants floated evenly spaced distance between each other and wearing swimsuits Silva wore his <Rare Suit> for the competition as he commented on the water, "Huh? This feels so trippy here. I can breathe in the water."

However, Silva's eyes are on the other contestants seeing everyone then to Minerva merely prepares with a smile thinking to himself proudly, 'Time to end their whole careers. GG bye, bye people.'

Everyone began to eyed Silva as they were cautious as he spoke out loud pointing pushing his hand forward using his <Arc of Embodiment> in a proud tone, "Time to ruin some careers folks. Have a good time losing everyone. <Enchant Spirit Arts: Almighty Push>."

*VEEEEEE*

Silva creates a repulsive force, which is generally used to push away everything in the vicinity. Silva narrows the repulsion's direction, only pushing away things on certain sides so that nearby allies will be unaffected.

*Splash*

*Splash*

*Splash*

Meredy chosen to be in the event could cry seeing that the majority of the contestants were easily knocked away, "Oh come on! I haven't had the chance to shine!"

Minerva's eyes widened as she tried to use her Magic to stay in the game only to realize in shock in her head that her Space Magic refused to obey, 'What!!! Why can't I control space from his attack to evade!! Ack!!!'

The rest soon were knocked out leaving Juvia alone Natsu grinned seeing him make his promise Juvia nervously replied pleading her case, "Ah! My beloved would you be –"

*Smooch*

Before she could plead her case one small kiss on the lips caused her to shut down in a blushing storm to be dropped out leaving Fairy Tail B to be in last place as Gajeel groans, "Oh god damn it!! This is fucking rigged god damn it! RIGGED!!!!"

*Splash*

Landing before Juvia could have the chance to fall in a stuttering mess with a bit of drool leaving her happy face as Silva replied proudly, "Sorry Juvia but promised Natsu to get you guys last. But in return I did give you a kiss on the lips hope you have nice dreams my Juvia."

Juvia managed to listen to his words completely knocking her out in a happy daze, "M-M-My Juvia…!!!"

Seeing her knocked out as Silva walks away Chapati expresses shock seeing the event announcing Silva's victory, "There you have it folks! The strongest Mage has claimed his victory in the Naval Battle!! Now will proceed to the double battle soon enough!! Don't miss any action left folks!!"
