Previously, Nate’s magic power had always increased during his sleep.
This ti, it happened while he was awake.
He didn’t feel anything special—it was as natural as eating or drinking.
Now at the eight-star level, Nate could rank among the top of the current Ten Wizard Saints.
“Speaking of which, who are the current Ten Wizard Saints now?”
He suddenly realized that since Jellal had been removed from the list after the Tower of Heaven incident, no one had told him who replaced him.
Back then, Nate had nominated Ultear for the position.
Apparently, the Magic Council hadn’t accepted his suggestion.
Curious, he decided to ask.
Nate: “Chairman, who replaced Jellal after he was removed from the Ten Wizard Saints?”
After a mont, he received a reply.
Crawford Seam: “It’s the forr Chairman…”
Nate: “In my heart, you’re still the Chairman. I don’t even know who this Gran Doma is.”
Crawford Seam: “I just harvested a new batch of chamomile. I’ll send you so later.”
Nate chuckled. Say sothing nice, and you get gifts?
Nate: “Thank you, Chairman. I was just about to run out of chamomile.”
Crawford Seam: “As for the new 13th Ten Wizard Saint, that hasn’t been decided yet.”
Nate: “I nominated Ultear last ti. Did the Council reject it? Who else has been nominated?”
Crawford Seam: “Ultear is qualified, but there’s a stain on her record.”
By “stain,” he ant her association with Jellal during his ti in the Council and his attempt to construct the R-System. Ultear was still under suspicion.
Crawford Seam: “Then there was the Grimoire Heart invasion, which destroyed the previous Council. This matter has been delayed ever since.”
So there was still an open position?
If Ultear won’t work, I’ll just nominate soone even better, Nate thought to himself.
Nate: “Can I nominate soone now?”
Crawford Seam: “Of course. The Council takes nominations for the Ten Wizard Saints seriously. Who do you have in mind?”
Nate: “Ur.”
Crawford Seam: “Who’s Ur?”
Nate was montarily speechless. She’s only been dead for ten years, and people have already forgotten her?
Nate: “Didn’t the Council invite her to beco a Ten Wizard Saint before?”
Crawford Seam: “You an Ur the Ice Sorceress from the North? She’s dead…”
Nate: “She’s alive. Her na is even in the top 100 rankings of the [Magic Arena] leaderboard. I’ve confird it. It’s really her.”
Crawford Seam: “Is that true? If she’s alive, she would indeed be a perfect candidate!”
Nate: “Then I’ll nominate her. If she declines, I can always nominate Erza.”
Crawford Seam: “Erza is a bit lacking in experience…”
Crawford Seam: “I’ll reach out to Ur to ask her opinion, but since I’m no longer the Chairman, whether the Council approves is uncertain.”
Ending the conversation with the forr Chairman, Nate’s lips curled into a sly smile.
The Ten Wizard Saints…
Ranked fourth: Warrod Sequen, a Fairy Tail elder and one of its four founding mbers.
Ranked fifth: Makarov, the current third master of Fairy Tail.
Ranked ninth: Himself.
Ranked tenth: If Ur is elected.
Of the ten positions, nearly half would be held by Fairy Tail mbers.
If they pushed a bit harder, the day might co when the Ten Wizard Saints etings would turn into a Fairy Tail gathering.
Magic Council? Go sit at the kids’ table.
“Let’s check with Ur first,” Nate thought, clicking on her avatar and ssaging her about the nomination.
After all, if Ur wasn’t interested, there was no point in pursuing it.

About half an hour earlier
Sixteen examinees were randomly teleported to different locations on Tenrou Island.
…
Inside a Cave
A golden light flashed, and Lucy appeared inside a cavern.
“Where am I now?”
Looking up, she saw a cluster of bats with glowing red eyes hanging upside down from the cave ceiling.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Lucy scread, startling the bats, which fled the cave in a panic.
It was truly a case of mutual fright.
“Phew… Anyway, I need to find Cana first.”
Lucy exhaled deeply and pulled a card from her pocket.
During the exam, participants weren’t allowed to use the Magic Net’s chat feature but could still use magic.
Of course—this is a magic exam, after all!
An arrow appeared on the card’s surface, pointing in the direction where Cana was located. Lucy exited the cave and followed the arrow’s guidance.
…
Under a Tree
Ultear scanned her surroundings and saw no one else nearby.
She raised her left hand, revealing a magic mark on her wrist—Lost Magic: Maguilty Sense.
“redy really has her ways,” Ultear said with a faint smile.
The magic, called Sensory Link, connected the senses of two people. By following the trail of magic, the two could find each other.
While Ultear wasn’t particularly concerned about becoming an S-Class mage, failing after entering the exam would be a bit embarrassing.
“But it’s so hot. Why is this island so warm?”
After walking for a while, Ultear suddenly stopped.
She raised her hand and materialized a crystal ball from a parallel dinsion. A mont later, the crystal ball shot toward a nearby tree.
With a sharp snap, the thick foliage trembled violently.
A figure leapt out of the tree.
“The ocean currents around here are unique. Tenrou Island experiences spring and sumr all year round.”
Evergreen hovered in midair, two pairs of wings extending from her back. She opened a folding fan and waved it casually.
“Quite unlucky, Ultear. We ended up teleported near each other.”
“Why fight?” Ultear looked up at her calmly. “The first stage is just about eting up with your partner.”
She waved her hand, and dozens of crystal balls materialized around her.
Evergreen removed her glasses, her pupils glowing erald green.
“Stone Eyes!”
…
Elsewhere in the Forest
“Juvia is so hot… But Juvia must find Wendy quickly.”
Dressed in winter attire, Juvia strolled through the forest, sweating profusely.
If only it would rain!
As if in response, dark clouds gathered overhead, and a gentle rain began to fall, washing away the oppressive heat.
“If Wendy sees the rain, she’ll find , right?”
Deciding not to wander further, Juvia found a tree and took shelter beneath it.
…
In the Sky
“Co out, Igneera!”
Natsu threw a card, summoning his max-level Charizard. He leapt onto its back with ease.
“Let’s go! Fly up and find Gray!”
Charizard carried Natsu into the sky.
Watching this, Happy couldn’t help but comnt, “Natsu, did you finally cure your motion sickness?”
“What are you talking about, Happy? Igneera isn’t a mode of transportation!” Natsu replied, looking shocked.
Ouch. Status: -1.
Happy sighed, adopting his signature deadpan expression. Then again, riding a dragon did look kind of cool.
…
anwhile
As an examiner, Nate was taking it easy.
He even found ti to make a quick trip back to Hargeon to pick up a portable barbecue grill.
Now, he was happily grilling beef skewers when he suddenly noticed Mavis.
“Did the sll lure you here?” he asked.
“Fourth Master, that looks delicious,” Mavis said, floating closer with an eager expression.
Her gluttonous nose is as sharp as ever, Nate thought, suppressing a laugh.
“Would you like to join , First Master?” he asked.
“Yes, please~”
Mavis floated down beside him but suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.
“Fourth Master, your magic has grown stronger!”
