Natsu why are you here?
Don't go scarin' me like that.
Natsu
Natsu!
What's with you? Weren't we heading to the top?
I don't really get it but I smelled somethin' really freaky.
W-What's that?
The trees around him are
They're dieing!
Black Wizard.
Is that his magic?
You don't see that every day.
What the hell is he?
I don't know who you are but this island belongs to our guild!
Don't go bustin' in on our exam!
You've grown up nice and strong.
Yeah
I wanted to meet you Natsu
Who are you?!
He punched him!
Right off the bat!
Figured that's what he'd do.
I see
You're not ready yet
Natsu you can't yet
destroy me.
I don't know you.
State your name!
Even though I don't want to kill anyone anymore
But your were the only one who could have stopped me Natsu
It's too soon?
H-He's crying
This guy takes creepy to a whole new level.
R-Run!
Again!
It's that black wave from before!
That's magic that steals away life!
Natsu!
All of you get away from here!
Natsu!
Fool don't go there!
What the hell Damn it.
Natsu!
I'm fine But he
Disappeared?
What just happened?
Natsu what's wrong?
Your scarf!
It's turned black.
How dare you do that to this scarf I got from Igneel!
Maybe Igneel's scarf took the brunt of it to protect Natsu
I'm going to continue being rejected by the world again
This magical power This pressure
Is it him? Is he here on this island?
At the same time a new danger is fast approaching Tenroujima.
Grimoire Heart one corner of the Baram Alliance the strongest power among the Dark Guilds
Among them can be seen the figure of Ultear once an aide to Jellal who has fought Natsu and the others previously.
We've finally found you Seems like you're still asleep though.
I believe the time has come Master Hades.
That man stepped forth on this land long ago perfected Black Magic gave birth to countless demons
and plunged the world into chaos.
The most powerful and most evil man in the history of the Magic World
The Black Wizard Zeref!
Has the day finally come when I can reach out and touch the deepest depths of magic?
Begin!
Change course to head to the fairy's island.
Black
How dare that *** do this to Igneel's scarf!
Natsu
How can I wear a black scarf with dark clothes?!
That's a fashion faux pas!
He's picky about his coordination?
Who'd a thunk it.
So then what about the exam?
With that freaky guy wandering around it's no time for tests yeah.
Yeah
It's most definitely the time for that!
As a Man I will not back away from this exam!
I promised Gildarts!
And I am my big sister's little brother!
I've got a duty to become S class!
He really was freaky
He cried all of a sudden and killed those trees
Natsu you sure have a lot of weird friends!
He ain't my friend!
But he didn't seem like he wanted to be your enemy.
I give up.
Continue on with the exam!
Aye sir!
Okay! Let's go Evergreen!
I thought I told you not to order me around!
He's here on this island.
Should I return and report this at once? No
First I've got to make sure of the situation.
Has the time finally come?
The day the legendary Black Wizard Zeref is resurrected
All the necessary keys already lie in our hands.
We will awake something from within Zeref.
But there is one problem.
The Wizards' Guild in Fiore Kingdom that currently holds the strongest position Fairy Tail
One of the guilds that did in Oracion Seis one of the members of the Baram Alliance.
Some of the most powerful members of that guild are currently gathered on that island.
What?! What?! They ain't nothing!
Guys like those
I'll turn 'em all into ashes!
Suffocatingly hot as usual Zancrow.
One should not underestimate the enemy.
It was for this day that I was bahrn.
I concur Capricorn.
I
Let loose our desire.
This will be an all-out war for our guild.
Shudder shards of ourselves
You're speaking too fast!
I will now explain what Hikaru just said.
"I feel that way myself.
"
And now I will decipher what Rustyrose said.
Desire is to want and shard means heart.
Meldy can you fight?
I will fight.
Interesting This is quite interesting!
Fairy Tail! They do not yet know true darkness.
The ultimate darkness that lies in the deepest depths
Grimoire Heart! The name itself means the heart of a devil.
Tonight we Devils will have sport with the Fairies.
Will we devour them proudly or be pound into dust?
The battle is on Fairy Tail!
The grave of Fairy Tail's founding master Mavis
Got anything?
It's no use Searching for a grave without even a hint! I haven't got a clue.
That's the big problem yeah
Are there really no hints?
I've participated in the exam 4 times in the past so I've got a feeling
I don't think there's ever been an exam that was unreasonable.
I'm sure there has to be a hint hidden somewhere.
I see.
So the second test is about brain power.
Brain power huh? Thinking of it that way maybe the words themselves could hold a clue.
The words?
Yeah.
Like for example
Grave!
We think that it's got to be a place right?
But it could be interpreted as the "final stop of life".
That's so negative of you.
Grave Grave
A keyword?
Maybe it's a sentence?
Did I just hear something? Maybe it's my imagination.
"I'll make this place your grave!" etc
"Marriage is the grave of one's life.
"
God you're negative.
There's got to be something more Lucy-like you can think of
Like "Even if people die they become stars!"
Um Is that the way people picture me?
Well it might not be that far off I suppose.
Oh I know
That's it! I bet I know where the grave is!
What?
Follow me!
Ooh impressive!
As expected from Lucy
She's a lucky one.
Hurry up! I bet Levy-chan will have solved this by now!
Just as you guessed Gray.
Sorry Lucy but I think this second test is designed to test brain power and "how much you want it".
Just like romance!
There you go! Let's follow them!
Okay!
Honestly I don't mind searching for them but where did Wendy and Mest go?
Even though Juvia wanted to go cheer on Gray-sama
Somehow I have to go my separate ways with Erza
And then
Unison Raid!
I was wrong.
In the end you're the only partner for me.
By that I mean become my life partner!
Yes Gray-sama!
How many children would you like?
Your face is all red Juvia.
Do you have a fever?
No all is fine!
I see.
Juvia can barely stand this!
Um if you'd like why don't we split up
What's wrong? If you stay that far back we'll get separated ourselves.
Is it that you're frightened of me?
I apologize about before.
Before?
The time we fought during the first test.
Maybe I should have held back a little.
But being S Class isn't something to take lightly.
I passed this exam a number of years ago and it was a tough and difficult road.
It was really something.
And once you become S Class it's not all fun and games.
You have responsibilities too!
You mustn't sully the name of the guild!
And the weight you have to bear and whatnot
In other words there's this and that plus odds and ends etc etc
Juvia wants to go to where Gray-sama is quick
Um it's painful to lose that's for sure but Juvia never really wanted to pass this test
I might have gone too far with Lisanna just back from Edolas.
Some people may call me childish perhaps!
But!!
I do not hate you not in the slightest!
I just I just want you to understand that.
Um it's fine.
Neither Juvia or Lisanna-san thinks that way.
Now then if we could go our separate ways
I see! You understand!
Friends sure are wonderful yes?
Let's keep working together from now on!
First we'll find Wendy and Mest!
Gray-sama is floating farther away
Try it Mira-nee.
Let's see
Delicious!
Really? All right!
Looks like you've gotten better at cooking while in Edolas.
That's because the Mira-nee over there was also good at cooking.
It's really like a dream that the three of us can live together as siblings again.
Mira-nee
But isn't it a bit too salty?
And the way you chopped the vegetables could use some work.
So now is when you start complaining?
Shut up!
Don't run!
What's wrong with this exam?
Chose a path? Find a grave?
Sure whatever!
I came here 'cause I wanted to beat up Salamander or Erza
But these giant monsters are all so boring!
So you don't care what happens to me?
I ain't said that!
But you just fight with everything You don't think anything of me.
Nothing at all.
Oh so that's it? You think you can take me on little one?
Then you'd better get big and strong to face me head on!
I'm weak that's just how it is.
I'm small.
Sheesh you get better things to do than get depressed.
Get lost already! Stupid Gajeel!
What's wrong with him? And I thought maybe he wasn't so bad
Such a jerk I hate him I hate him!
I hate him.
Gajeel?
What? Who are you?
First we take one!
It's tough findin' someone small like you.
So don't leave my side.
Okay.
So who are these guys?
That mark
Grimoire Heart!
The strongest of the Black Guilds.
Why here?
So the master invited Dark Guilds to be part of the test?
I can't believe that.
These guys broke in from somewhere.
Well accidents happen on the job.
And on S Class jobs all the more.
If you can't get rid of a little accident like this
I don't think I could say you're qualified to be S class.
But they're from Grimoire Heart
Part of the Baram Alliance
They shouldn't just attack us on their own!
That'w what's wrong with official guilds.
There's no rules in war-peron!
War?
What is your objection?
We are Grimoire Heart Wizards!
Yomazu!
Likewise Kawazu!
Yomazu and Kawazu?
We're after
Me ears!
to hunt the Fairies here!
The strongest Dark Guild Grimoire Heart.
In search of the legendary Black Wizard they finally make their move.
Before them lies Tenroujima.
As well as Natsu and the others.
Okay this'll do!
You just turned it inside out!
Grave! S Class!
Why are all the men in my guild such idiots?
The story that began with the S Class Advancement Exam
has begun moving in a direction no one could have ever predicted.
The battle surrounding the legendary Black Wizard Zeref now is beginning!
Righto! Let's have meat for lunch today!
What? Meat again? I'd rather have fish
I can't get any power with fish.
Gotta be meat.
Sheesh Natsu You stubborn fool!
Well if me and him went head to head I'd win.
It's not really a compliment.
Next time: Soul of Iron.
But if you win butting heads against him how hard is your head anyway?
Stop saying I've got a hard head!
I'm all out of gags here.
