Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 317 Chess, you big idiot!

Chapter 317 Chess, you big idiot!

After resolving the biggest problem, the Dark Magician, now in high spirits, began discussing the deeper theories of magic with Zeref. Chase barely had a chance to interject, and was also somewhat "afraid" of Zeref, so he made up an excuse to leave and returned to the examination room he was in charge of.

Under the bold modifications of the three Dark Magician Girls, the first passage has begun to take shape, and they are currently setting up strange mechanisms and traps inside.

No matter what, it's his own job, and it feels a bit unfair to let the card sprite handle everything, so Chess said he wanted to join in and help.

However, he was met with a harsh rejection from the dark magician girl: how could she let him take away such a fun thing as harming the contestants?

These guys really are out having fun...

Left with no other choice, Chess, now enjoying some leisure time, found a patch of soft grass, sat down with his back against a large tree, and gazed at the vast, boundless sea beyond Sirius Island.

A gentle, cool breeze swept up fallen leaves, bringing the fresh scent of the primeval forest and lifting Chase's right arm, which was covered by a dark blue cloak.

The Fairy Tail emblem engraved on it shimmered with a faint light, as the magic power consumed in fighting Zeref's death aura was replenished.

Even the speed and efficiency with which the "heart" accumulates magic power have increased significantly, far exceeding normal times.

Chase knew that this was the resting place of the first guild master, Mavis, and that the unique buffs of Sirius Island were at work.

Within the range of the Sirius Tree, those with the Fairy Tail crest engraved on their bodies will experience an increase in the strength of their magic, the speed of their recovery, and even the speed of their healing from injuries.

This is one of the reasons why Makarov decided to hold this year's assessment on Sirius Island.

Thinking of this, Chess subconsciously looked up at a certain area hidden deep in the canopy of the Sirius tree.

Speaking of which, besides Zeref, there was actually another person he really wanted to see: the first chairman, Mavis.

Unfortunately, when I went to pay respects at the First Generation's grave with Makarov yesterday, we didn't find any trace of Mavis's spirit.

Perhaps it takes intense longing to awaken her, such as the fairy radiance that Cana inherited to protect her companions, or the determination shown by the members of the original guild in the face of the black dragon's roar.

Or perhaps she, who is already "dead," deliberately hides away, not wanting to be discovered.

The former is a bit tricky, since this S-rank assessment doesn't have the "Devil's Heart" attack as a trigger.

As for the latter...

First generation, you're being a bit naughty. Chess isn't worried about this. Given Mavis's love of joining in the fun, she'll definitely be hiding in the shadows to watch when the assessment officially begins.

If there are no signs of her "awakening," then the only recourse is to go against the grain and go to her tombstone to say something like, "I never imagined that our first president was just a little kid," thus triggering her strong emotions.

Chase really wanted Mavis to see the guild he had founded, now thriving and prosperous.

If I had the chance, it would be wonderful to pinch that soft, cute little face—although I would most likely get a scolding from the old man for being disrespectful and lacking manners.

As for whether it will disturb the deceased's rest...

Strictly speaking, the first humans weren't dead yet!

Just then, light footsteps sounded, and Mira walked over from the nearby forest path, carrying two glasses of iced juice.

"What are you thinking about? Chase's expression is just as sinister as Lucy's when she's up to no good."

Chase slightly raised his eyes. Whether it was because of the hot climate on Sirius Island or because it was inconvenient to work, Mira changed out of her usual burgundy dress and put on a slightly cool light red camisole.

He swore it was absolutely not intentional; it just so happened that this vantage point offered a beautiful view of the snow.

"Nothing, I just suddenly became curious about what kind of person the first president was."

Chess coughed lightly and looked away, asking with a puzzled expression, "Aren't you in charge of the northeast corner area? What brings you here?"

"Because this place is full of magic, I used the Demon King's power to control the monsters on the island to help with the work."

Mira sat down next to him naturally, smiling playfully, "I'm just wandering around, I didn't come here specifically to see Chess~"

"But I never expected that Chase would be like me, actually becoming a wicked foreman hiding under a tree and slacking off."

As expected of you, using such a blatant self-description...

And wouldn't it be a bit wasteful to use the Demon King to do this kind of thing?

Chase silently complained to himself, then corrected, "Unlike the unfortunate magical beasts that were manipulated into doing hard labor, those Dark Magician Girls did it voluntarily."

"I guessed that was the case, after all, this is a good opportunity to set a trap for Natsu and the others."

Mira doesn't know much about the other card spirits, but she knows Dark Magician Girl all too well.

"So this is juice?" Chase pointed to the wooden bucket cup filled with liquid in her hand, where ice cubes could be seen floating on top.

"Yes, it's freshly squeezed using wild fruits from the island."

Mira smiled and handed over a light blue glass. "This is blueberry flavored. I tasted it and it's not very sweet. You should like it."

Chase took the wooden barrel cup, ignoring the faint lip print left on its rim, and tilted his head back to show off with a sip.

The chilled juice, with its slightly sweet taste, flowed down my throat and into my stomach.

The cool sensation instantly spread throughout my body, greatly relieving the stuffiness caused by the surrounding hot environment.

"How is it?" Mira's beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Although it's a little less good than iced tea, it still tastes pretty good," Chase honestly commented.

"Oh." Mira puffed out her cheeks, her voice indifferent yet tinged with disappointment.

What? My homemade juice isn't even as good as iced tea!

Chess, you big idiot!

But Mira quickly recovered: "Then I'll make Chess some iced tea tomorrow~"

A dead card player is a dead card player. If he really turned into Loki and only said those kinds of things to make girls happy, she would feel a little uncomfortable, even though she really wanted to hear them right now.

"Chase, what do you think Elfman and Lisana are doing right now? Probably training with their partners, right?"

"Lisana just got back not long ago, I wonder if she'll get along well with Juvia, and also Elfman and Abba Grin..."

"Don't worry, they are already capable mages who can stand on their own."

"That's true, but of course I'm worried. After all, it's her first time participating in the S-rank assessment, and as her older brother, doesn't Chess care about Lucy's training?"

"Compared to that, I think what Lucy is thinking right now is how she should surrender if she encounters me during the test."

"Haha, you two have such a good relationship~"

The two people sitting under the tree drank chilled juice and chatted about the upcoming S-level assessment.

A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, bringing a rare sense of tranquility.
