The moment Orga Nanagear from Sabertooth stepped into the arena, the crowd's cheers surged dramatically.
"It's Orga!!!"
"Crush him!!!"
"What an incredible level of support!"
Back at Team B's seating area, Noel observed Orga as he entered the battlefield.
He was a towering and muscular man with spiky blue hair, a bare upper body, and black tattoos on his arms.
His expression remained calm and indifferent.
"Due to the rules of the event, we haven't been able to get a clear read on Sabertooth's strength. This match might be an opportunity to assess them," Mira remarked.
Noel merely nodded noncommittally. "Maybe."
In the arena, Orga and Warcry from Quatro Cerberus had taken their positions.
However, to everyone's surprise, Warcry suddenly burst into tears at the very start of the match.
"Tear-based magic...?" A few veins bulged on Noel's forehead as he watched Warcry sob uncontrollably.
"Does that mean he has to cry before every battle? Why does this feel strangely depressing?"
In the arena—
With tears streaming down his face, Warcry shouted, "The more tears there are, the stronger I become!!"
Boom!
Before Warcry's tear magic could even take effect, a bolt of black lightning struck him head-on.
His body turned charred black, and he collapsed onto the ground.
"Lightning...?" Watching Orga unleash his black lightning, Laxus raised an eyebrow, then smirked with utter disdain.
"Boring."
Noel smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
He was well aware that, for Laxus—who had already obtained the power of the ancient Thunder God—the black lightning used by Orga, the Sabertooth member, was nothing special.
Setting aside powerhouses like Noel and Laxus, for the unsuspecting audience, Orga's instant defeat of his opponent with black lightning was nothing short of spectacular.
The visual impact, perfect timing, and overwhelming power fully demonstrated the dominance of Fiore's number one guild—Sabertooth.
As a result, the cheers of the crowd grew even louder.
"The match is over!! It was over in a flash! Orga's Black Lightning instantly burned away the tears!!" Chapati shouted excitedly.
"So strong! Truly powerful!!"
"What was that just now?!"
"It happened in an instant!"
"A... A monster!!"
"Sabertooth!!!"
Chapati then announced, "The winner is Orga Nanagear from Sabertooth!! With this, Sabertooth has 18 points, closely following Fairy Tail! This is a battle between the old and new kings!! Quatro Cerberus, 1 point—how unfortunate!!"
"Wouldn't it be even better if you played up the atmosphere a bit more, Orga?" Stinging teased from the stands.
However, Orga misunderstood Sting's intention.
After thinking for a moment, he responded, "Then I'll sing a song."
"That's not what I meant~" Sting said helplessly.
"Strongest~ Strongest~ Number one!! We are the unrivaled—Sabertooth!!"
As Orga's singing echoed through the stadium, the audience enthusiastically joined in, singing along with excitement.
"What an incredible level of popularity," Noel muttered, rubbing his ears, which were aching from the noise.
He smiled wryly. "The fact that this kind of singing is being cheered on... I really wonder what's going on in their heads."
"Still, his strength is indeed impressive. After all, if that Quatro Cerberus guy was chosen as a competitor, he must have had some level of skill. For that Sabertooth lightning user to take him down in one hit, he's definitely someone worth noting," Laxus remarked casually, his indifferent tone betraying a complete lack of interest.
"Now, there are only two matches left—ours and Lamia Scale's," Mira said thoughtfully.
"We have to win this one. If we don't, we're the ones who'll suffer from that bet," Gajeel added.
At that moment, Chapati's voice rang out at just the right time:
"And now, we've finally arrived at the final match of Day 1! The last battle will be between Fairy Tail Team B and Lamia Scale! These two guilds have always been evenly matched, so this is shaping up to be a very exciting fight! For Fairy Tail B, Noel Rutherford!! And for Lamia Scale, Jura Neekis!!"
"He's here!!"
"I came just to see Jura fight!!"
"Didn't expect him to appear on the very first day!!"
"It's Jura!!!"
The moment Jura's name was announced, even the audience members who had been cheering for Sabertooth moments ago instantly switched sides, erupting into wild cheers for him.
The Fairy Tail members in the stands were momentarily stunned.
Erza was the first to speak: "Noel is fighting on the first day? And his opponent is Jura?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, do not take your eyes off this battlefield!" Chapati's voice was filled with excitement.
"Because what's about to unfold is, without a doubt, the most thrilling match of the day! The two competitors, Noel from Fairy Tail and Jura from Lamia Scale, are individuals whose very names make the entire kingdom of Fiore tremble! Because they both hold a common, prestigious title—they are members of the Ten Wizard Saints!!"
"A Wizard Saint?! That Fairy Tail guy is also one of the Ten Wizard Saints, just like Jura?"
"A battle between Wizard Saints?!"
"This is amazing!!! Hurry up and start the match!!!"
As soon as the audience realized that both fighters were members of the Ten Wizard Saints, the entire stadium erupted in excitement.
Cheers and shouts of encouragement filled the air.
"You and Jura both have pretty bad luck, especially Jura," Laxus said to Noel with a grin.
"Ah, looks like it'll be a tough fight," Mira chuckled.
"That Jura guy... is he really that strong?" Gajeel asked, still trying to grasp the situation.
"Of course. After all, he holds the title of Wizard Saint," Mira replied matter-of-factly.
Noel adjusted his attire slightly and smiled.
"Leave it to me. It's been a long time since I last fought Jura. I'm sure he's gotten much stronger over the past seven years."
With that, Noel strode toward the center of the arena, where Jura was already waiting for him.
"It really has been a long time since we last fought, Noel-dono," Jura said politely.
"Although I'd love to cheer for Fairy Tail, our guild master has high hopes for us... and this is a rare opportunity. I'd like to go all out against you."
"Is that so? Well, I won't hold back," Noel replied with a calm smile.
"Let's give it our all—no regrets."
