Black Clover: The Son of Fire Dragon Igneel-Chapter 345: SFDI - 345

Chapter 345: SFDI: Chapter 345
Although it was said to be pre-match special training, it was just last-minute cramming.
There were only two orthodox methods for mages to grow stronger: one was to undergo a transformation through battles where they risked everything, and the other was to spend time training.
As for the matter of the second magic source, Drake didn’t plan to forcibly help Sting and the others open it.
The so-called magic source was the organ in a mage’s body responsible for absorbing magic power factors from the outside world and converting them into their own magic power.
It represented the limit of the magic power that a mage could possess and use, its capacity being determined by the mage’s own mental and physical level.
And when mages trained their magic power, it was actually the process of expanding the magic source.
But the magic power source also had a limit, which was also the limit of the strength of ordinary mages.
But a portion of the magic power source was actually hidden, and very few mages could discover and utilize it. This portion was the so-called second magic source.
Of course, mages like Makarov had already discovered their second magic source and begun training it.
Even Erza had actually already noticed it and begun to excavate the power of the second magic source.
The same was true for Natsu. In the various battles he had experienced, there were often times when his magic power was exhausted but he could still unleash power.
That was actually unconsciously mobilizing the power of the second magic source.
But the two’s second magic source was far from being completely opened, so they still needed Ultear’s help after returning.
The people of the Tenrou Team could forcibly open the second magic source because they themselves had experienced all kinds of harsh battles, actually having grown to the point where they could open the second magic source.
But Sting and the others were different. If they forcibly opened the second magic source now, it would be forcing growth.
So Drake could only try his best to help them make up for their shortcomings before the Grand Magic Games.
In this way, time unknowingly came to the eve of the opening of the Grand Magic Games.
Drake brought Fairy Tail to the capital of the Fiore Kingdom - Crocus, also known as the City of a Thousand Flowers.
Sometimes the title best reflected the essence. It was the flowering season, and the streets of Crocus were decorated with colorful flowers everywhere.
Stella put flower crowns on herself and Wiene, as well as Kagura and Sherria on the side, making the four girls even more charming and moving.
Girls’ friendships always came inexplicably. Perhaps they could become one as long as they had a connection.
During this period of special training, Stella and Kagura’s friendship had advanced by leaps and bounds, already becoming good friends who could talk about anything.
Wiene also got along well with Sherria, but the small Sherria was instead interacting with Wiene as an older sister, which was also an interesting sight.
The Fairy Tail group quickly completed the formalities, also receiving a booklet recording the rules of the Grand Magic Games.
Since it was the first time handling it, the rules were still very simple. The most important thing was that the contestants had to be guild members, and those without the guild emblem weren’t allowed to play.
The number of people in each team was limited to five, and no replacements were allowed after each round of the competition began. But the battle lineup could be adjusted after the day’s competition ended.
Of course, temporary adjustments could also be made if special circumstances arose and were approved by the competition referee.
Drake remembered that there was also a rule that the guild master couldn’t participate seven years later, but he didn’t see it this time.
It seemed that something had happened in the future that had made the kingdom decide to use this rule.
But even if there was this rule, it didn’t matter. Although everyone had always called Drake the acting guild master, Drake hadn’t officially taken over. He couldn’t be considered the fourth guild master of Fairy Tail yet.
After wandering around Crocus for a while, the group came to the accommodation for the contestants designated by the tournament, a hotel called "HONEY BONE."
When Drake and his group pushed open the door and walked into this hotel, everyone in the first floor lobby looked at them.
The girls in the team were all in Crocus for the first time, so they had wandered around for a long time. By the time Fairy Tail checked in, the other guilds had already arrived.
In other words, these people were probably the opponents they would encounter during the Grand Magic Games.
Among them, Drake saw a lot of familiar faces, but most of them were people he was seeing for the first time.
Guilds like Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus were old acquaintances. The others were some guilds that Drake had never even heard of.
According to the pre-match information, there would be eighty-seven guilds participating in the Grand Magic Games this time.
Although it wasn’t as exaggerated as the hundreds of guilds seven years later, it was still quite frightening.
Drake had only known those few famous guilds before. He hadn’t known that the Fiore Kingdom had so many unknown small guilds.
Sabertooth, which would become the number one guild in the Fiore Kingdom in one fell swoop through the Grand Magic Games, was one of them.
In the original story, it was only after five powerful mages had joined that they were able to win the championship of the Grand Magic Games and become famous as a result.
But perhaps it should be said that it was a cuckoo occupying a magpie’s nest. And now, only three of the original five mages remained.
Of course, that was the situation when the few old guilds weren’t serious.
For example, in the original story, Lamia Scale hadn’t sent the Ten Wizard Saints Jura Neekis and the ice make mage Lyon Vastia until the seventh year’s Grand Magic Games.
After all, the old men of those few families weren’t the kind of flamboyant personalities. The title of kingdom’s number one didn’t have any appeal to them.
But Drake saw Jura’s bald head and Lyon’s head of white hair at a glance.
Looking around, as expected, most of the ruthless characters who had participated seven years later had appeared. Drake even saw Simon, Sho, and Wally, the Tower of Heaven trio, on the side.
It seemed that because of the butterfly effect that had appeared because of himself, they had also joined the guild and come to participate in this Grand Magic Games.
Drake looked at Kagura next to him. As expected, she revealed an excited expression. She was Simon’s younger sister.
The reason why she had chosen to leave with Drake was on the one hand because she wanted to learn martial arts from Drake, and on the other hand, it was to repay Fairy Tail for saving Simon’s life.
But seeing her older brother, she still couldn’t control her emotions.
Drake nodded to her. Kagura ran over with joy, talking to Simon.
Kagura was also a qualified Fairy Tail mage. Drake believed that she wouldn’t do anything harmful to the guild because of personal feelings.
Just then, Jura walked over, saying, "Mr. Drake, you really came too!"
Drake looked at this bald head whose beard hadn’t grown that long yet, saying, "Yeah, but I didn’t expect Lamia Scale to be so serious, even sending you out!"
Jura put his hands together, saying, "After all, this is a grand event for all the mage guilds in the kingdom. I naturally don’t want to miss it either."
Drake said that he would have believed this rhetoric if you hadn’t never participated in the Grand Magic Games in the original story for seven years.
It wasn’t just because Fairy Tail’s main force had disappeared, but under Drake’s management, they could still maintain their state, making the other few guilds curious about how strong Fairy Tail was now.
So these few families were really too idle, only knowing how to cause trouble for people.
If it wasn’t for them messing around, it would have been much easier to win the championship this time.
But come to think of it, if it wasn’t for them, this competition would have been much more boring.
Drake looked around, hoping that these opponents could add a little fun to him.
