The banquet lasted until very late and was extremely lively.
Fortunately, there aren't many residential buildings near the Fairy Tail guild hall, otherwise they would definitely be getting complaints every day. Fairy Tail is indeed a very noisy guild.
That evening, everyone went home, tipsy. It was almost X785, and most of the guild members were already adults. So, naturally, they all started drinking at this kind of banquet.
As one of the reasons for holding the celebration banquet, Moen naturally drank quite a bit. After all, he was about to officially take over the position of guild leader, and everyone naturally took turns coming over to congratulate him.
With so many people in the Fairy Tail guild, even if they come in waves to celebrate, they'll still drink a lot.
However, Moen was not drunk at all. His strong physique and control over his body made it impossible for him to get drunk.
As a result, when the banquet was about to end, Moen, the guild leader, was one of the few people who remained sober.
"Stand still, everyone! Hold onto each other!"
At the guild entrance, watching the girls head towards the girls' dormitory led by Erza, Moen also began to call out to his own team. This was the team heading to the "Fairy House," where most of the guild members lived.
"That's foresight."
Moen remarked that focusing on building the "Fairy House" project in previous years was definitely one of his wisest decisions.
This is similar to the residential communities of large corporations and factories. It is extremely convenient for the "employees" and also very beneficial for the management of the association, at least in terms of strengthening cohesion.
Of course, those who own houses and have property in Magnolia are not required to move to the Fairy House, just like the girls' dormitory has never changed.
Moen had just sent several old guys who lived in the city and were drunk back home. Using his teleportation ability, it was quite convenient, as he knew exactly where these old guys lived.
As an administrator, Moen had a clear understanding of his guildmates' family situations and basic information; at least he could remember all the information they had registered with the guild.
Moen knew almost all of these people's families. The old men were drunk and were sent home, and their families thanked Moen.
Moen and Mirajane gathered their companions who were heading to the "Fairy House," and then he activated his ability to teleport all of them to the "Fairy House" at once.
The awakening of the "Cosmo" brings many useful "superpowers". Instant teleportation and telepathy are undoubtedly the most frequently used. When combined with the [Aries Gold Cloth], these mental and spatial abilities are like adding wings to a tiger.
Wave after wave, in no time at all, the Fairy Tail companions were all sent back to the Fairy House by Moen using "Teleportation," and then each of them was sent home and settled in.
"I'm really destined to be a nanny, I'm so worried about everything."
After doing all this, Moen sighed, but a smile remained on his face.
After doing all this, Moen felt quite accomplished. Perhaps it is this kind of mentality that is needed to become a well-loved president. As the head of the family, one must take care of everyone, provided that they are worthy of being taken care of.
However, it's also possible that Moen wasn't doing this alone; with Erza and Mirajane by his side, helping him out, he was definitely more motivated.
Of course, Juvia was also helping. She was not allowed to drink alcohol at all by Moen. Although it was legal to drink alcohol in the Kingdom of Fiore at the age of fifteen, Moen still strictly required that she not be allowed to drink until she was eighteen.
This is for their own good. Drinking is not a bad thing, and drinking a little in moderation is fine, but they must not drink excessively or become addicted. As for cigarettes, they should avoid them altogether.
Soon, the next day arrived, and everyone woke up groggily.
Thinking about what happened yesterday, everyone felt a little embarrassed, after all, they had troubled Moen.
It was supposed to be a celebration for Moen, to celebrate him becoming the president, but in the end, the protagonist, Moen, was made to do dirty and tiring work.
This sense of guilt has greatly boosted everyone's enthusiasm for work these past few days. Everyone wants to contribute more to the guild, so as not to let Moen down and not to make Moen worry about them for nothing.
Behind the guild hall, by the great lake, Moen looked at his companions and talked about the upcoming Grand Magic Tournament.
"For this Grand Magic Tournament, there is no limit to the number of participants from each guild, but they must participate in small teams of five or six people. It is said that nearly a hundred teams have already participated, so it's time for us to choose our own team."
After Moen finished speaking, everyone immediately started a heated discussion.
"Erza, Mirajane, Laxus, Natsu, and Gray have already formed the BOSS team, so we need to assemble a more competitive one!"
Fried looked around. In his squad, Bigelow and Abramory were essential. The "Thunder Force" always worked together, but three people weren't enough; at least five were needed.
"Lucy! Would you and Emerald be willing to join our Thor's Legion?"
Without any hesitation, Fried immediately approached Lucy and extended an invitation to her, along with Emerald.
Emerald had already returned to the capital, the "City of Flowers" Crocus, but she and Lucy were always bound together, so inviting Lucy was equivalent to inviting Emerald as well.
Fried's choice was undoubtedly correct. As Moen's apprentices, Lucy and Emerald's strength was beyond doubt.
Even with just five people—including Lucy and Emerald—the "Thor's Gang" would be an extremely competitive team.
"Um... thank you for the invitation, Fried."
However, Lucy hesitated before accepting Fried's invitation.
As soon as he said that, Fried's face darkened, because he knew it was hopeless; this was clearly a rejection of his invitation.
"We already have four people here..."
Lucy looked troubled. A team can only have a maximum of six people. There are four on their side and three on the "Thor's Creed". Obviously, they can't team up. They can't just kick the others out, can they?
"Four people? Who are they?"
Fried was surprised. He didn't expect Lucy to have gathered four people so quickly. Had she already prepared them in advance?
That's not surprising. The rules of the Grand Magician's Martial Arts Tournament have already been announced, so it's normal that some people knew about it before Moen even spoke about it.
"I, Emerald, Juvia, Levy..."
""
Lucy smiled and named the members of her team, which made Fried frown.
Fried hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded without saying anything more; some things were not appropriate to say.
For example, in Fried's view, Levy is out of sync with the strength of this squad. If Levy were removed and the two squads were merged, they would become very competitive.
Fried highly recognized Juvia's strength; she was a prodigy with exceptional talent, and her water elemental magic was already quite powerful. If Juvia were in another guild, she would definitely have S-rank strength.
"That's great! I'd love to join your team and form a team that's all girls."
After hearing Lucy's team roster, Abageline was a little tempted; Lucy's team was by no means weak.
"Abagrien! Are you abandoning us?!"
Abagrien's words surprised both Fried and Biguslow.
Although they knew that Abram was gradually integrating into the group and had good relationships with many girls, it was still hard for Fried and Bigelow to believe that she would want to abandon them and join Lucy's team.
We agreed to be the "Thor's Gang" for life!
"What's wrong with that? You two don't necessarily have to be tied together."
Abrams shrugged. She didn't see anything wrong with it. If Laxus were on their team, she definitely wouldn't want to leave, but now that even "Thor" was on another team, she could certainly go to another team too.
""
Fried and Biguslow fell silent; they were still a little unaccustomed to it.
"If you, Abdurine, would like to join our team, we would certainly welcome you."
In response to Abaglin's statement, Lucy smiled and extended an invitation. Abaglin's strength was undeniable, so of course she wouldn't refuse.
"Lucy...can I...can I join too?"
Before Ebagrien could answer, a timid voice rang out.
Lucy looked at the person who spoke, and saw Wendy with a somewhat conflicted expression. Encouraged by Charlotte, Wendy stepped forward.
After hearing about Lucy's team lineup, Xia Lulu immediately urged Wendy to apply to join Lucy's team.
Wendy also really wanted to participate. She was twelve years old this year and would be thirteen soon. Although she was young, because she used "Dragon Slayer Magic", she actually had pretty good combat power, at least much stronger than the average mage.
The main reason is that Wendy joined Fairy Tail much earlier than before, and now she is much more proficient in using Sky Dragon Slayer Magic than before. Her combat ability has also improved significantly. Of course, she is still far behind the other Dragon Slayers.
Is Wendy going to participate too?
Lucy looked surprised when Wendy volunteered, and the others around her also looked at little Wendy in surprise.
"Did Master Moen give permission?"
Lucy crouched down and whispered to Wendy, "If Master Moen doesn't give permission, Lucy will absolutely not bring Wendy along."
"Okay! I got permission!"
Wendy nodded seriously; of course, she had applied in advance.
Her growth over the years has earned Moen's approval, which is why she was able to participate in the "Great Magic Director Martial Arts Competition" at the age of thirteen.
"Alright, welcome to our team!"
Seeing Wendy's certainty, Lucy didn't hesitate and immediately announced that she would accept Wendy into the team, making their team five people.
"Where is Abbagrien?"
After confirming Wendy's inclusion in the team, Lucy then looked at Abbagrien.
"Forget it, I'll stay with these two. I'm afraid even if I leave, we won't be able to gather five people."
Abba Grin shook her head and chose to stay with the team. She was just saying it casually; the "Thor's Creed" wasn't going to fall apart so easily.
"I'm so touched!"
Bigus, wearing a mask, said with a smile.
"Hmph, hurry up and find some people, or everyone will have already formed teams!"
Abagelin shook her head and began searching for other targets. Her gaze fell on Elfman and Gajeel. When choosing teammates, she would definitely prioritize those who were strong, and those who participated in the "S-class assessment" were definitely the first targets to choose.
Cana has already joined forces with Levy and Juvia, and it's clear that she has also joined Lucy's team. Now Lucy's team is full, and their average strength is quite good.
Aibagrin felt that their team couldn't be worse than Lucy's team, otherwise they definitely wouldn't make it to the end. Their goal was definitely to reach the end and qualify to challenge the BOSS team. Maybe they could even be promoted to "S-class mage" because of it.
Fried and Biguslow obviously thought the same thing, so they immediately went to invite Elfman and Gajeel.
"no problem."
Gajeel readily agreed. The strength of the "Thunder God Trio" goes without saying, and forming a team with them would definitely be competitive.
Elfman had a condition: he could bring Lisanna along, as the two siblings would naturally be in the same team.
Unfortunately, Lisanna had wanted to join Lucy's team, but she was too late; Lucy's team was already full with six members.
"No problem, this way we're full with six people."
Fried accepted the terms. Although Lisanna was weaker, it didn't matter. The other five of them were strong enough, and Lisanna wasn't weak enough to be a burden. At least she could protect herself.
Soon, as time went by, everyone formed their own teams.
Team Lucy: Lucy, Emerald, Juvia, Levy, Wendy, Cana.
Team Fried: Fried, Biguslo, Ebagrien, Gagiru, Elfman, Lisanna.
Jeter's team: Jeter, Troy, Bisca, Alzak, Warren, Lidas.
Team Macao: Macao, Wakaba, Joey, Marcus, Bigita, Miki.
In the end, "Fairy Tail" formed a total of four participating teams, with both old and young members contributing.
Actually, we could form even more teams if we wanted to, since there are a lot of people in Fairy Tail. But looking at the current quality of the teams, other people are too embarrassed to sign up.
These four teams now basically include all the guild's elite A-rank mages; anyone else going would just be a bystander.
"Alright, let's call them 'Fairy Tail' teams A, B, C, and D, in the order they were formed. Good luck, and let's all make it to the main tournament!"
Looking at the well-equipped guild, Moen nodded in satisfaction and encouraged everyone, saying that there were only eight spots in the main competition, which was still very difficult, considering that it was more than one hundred to get into the top eight.
