The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

"Wow, Li Xuan, you're really back!" Natsu said in surprise.

Li Xuan nodded to Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Lucy and Erza.

"Well, things over there have come to an end, so I came back. How have you been lately?"

Natsu smiled and said, "We've been through some incredible training during this time, and our strength has improved tremendously! By the way, did you know that we're divided into two teams for this competition?"

Li Xuan nodded: "I heard a little bit about it. I heard that your team A encountered some trouble on the first day."

Natsu retorted angrily, "We were just giving them a temporary advantage. We caught up quickly and closed the gap quickly. We won't have any problems in the rest of the race! We're determined to win first place!"

Gray said coldly, "Your last sentence is quite correct. One mistake is enough. We will definitely win later!"

Erza said to Li Xuan: "The president and the others are over there, you can go over and take a look."

Li Xuan looked not far away, and sure enough, Mira and others were in the stands over there.

Naz was about to agree, but he found that Li Xuan had already run some distance, like a swallow returning to its nest, without any hesitation.

Below the field, the two teams that had just competed had already left the field. Xie Li looked towards the stands and smiled with ease.

The members of Fairy Tail's B team were waiting at the entrance to be released.

Tielong leaned against the wall and said proudly, "If we win this competition, our team's score will be almost the same as Team A."

Xie Yu smiled faintly and said, "We're all from the same guild, so why make such clear divisions? Maybe we'll even compete together in the end!"

Tielong asked curiously, "Aren't you interested in the prize for winning? That's the reward for getting Team A to agree to anything!"

Xie Li said indifferently, "This condition is just a gimmick, it's useless. Speaking of which, did you notice Li Xuan coming back just now?"

"Li Xuan? He came back a little late. If he had come back earlier, maybe he could have joined our team!"

Xie Li shook his head. "I don't think his mind is on the competition. Besides, we are enough. It's a small game, easy to win."

In the stands, Li Xuan flashed in front of Mira, and his appearance startled everyone in the stands.

After giving Mira a smile, he greeted Makarov: "President, I'm back! Did you miss me?"

Makarov snorted, "I don't think you came back for us!"

"How could that be?" He sat down between President Makarov and Mira.

"I've specially prepared gifts for everyone this time. I'm sure you'll like them!"

"Oh, what is that?" Makarov asked curiously.

"Yes, yes, what is it?" The first president Mavis' eyes sparkled, looking like a curious baby.

Li Xuan was startled when he saw the ghost that suddenly appeared.

He asked knowingly, "Why is the first president here? Shouldn't he be on Tianlang Island?"

Mavis said proudly, "I'm on Tianlang Island every day. I'm getting bored if I leave! But that's not important. What exactly is the gift you brought?"

Li Xuan chuckled and said, "I've left it in the guild. You'll know when you get back!"

Mavis acted like a child and said, "No! No! I want to know now!"

He couldn't handle the coquettishness of children, especially since this person was a first-generation child, so he had no choice but to lean over and whisper something into Mavis' ear.

After saying that, Mavis looked at Li Xuan in surprise, her joy overflowing with words, "It turned out to be..."

Li Xuan immediately raised his index finger and said, "Let's not talk about the first generation president. Let's keep it a mystery for everyone."

Mavis's face puffed up, and she said unhappily, "Really? Little Li Xuan is so cunning. He told me everything, but he still wanted me to keep it a secret!"

Li Xuan didn't know how to deal with this situation.

Just when he was at a loss, the game below started.

The two sides in the battle are the Celestial Mage of Saberbite Tiger and Kagura of Mermaid Tail.

The battle was about to break out, the stars flickered, and two huge Pisces star spirits appeared and attacked Kagura.

At this time, Mavis's attention was drawn to both parties, so she did not continue with the previous question.

Li Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Li Xuan slowly looked at Mira and asked, "How are you doing recently?"

"It's great. Everyone is so happy to be together. By the way, thank you for your jewel necklace. With it, my magic power is well preserved and it is also very convenient to take it out and use."

Li Xuan smiled shyly: "You're welcome, it's only natural for us to help each other. By the way, there's a surprise for us when we get back!"

"Can you tell me quietly now?"

"No, no, if I say this in advance, it will provide less emotional value!"

Mira imitated Mavis's behavior and said coquettishly, "No! No! I want to know now!"

Seeing Li Xuan's panic, Mira burst out laughing.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Anyway, we'll find out when we get back. I'm really looking forward to the gifts you'll give everyone."

Li Xuan nodded, "I won't let you down!"

Makarov looked at the two helplessly, cleared his cough and reminded them: "Ahem, you two, pay attention to everyone's feelings. If you don't want to watch the game, you can go out and chat!"

Mira apologized gently: "I'm sorry, President, I will pay more attention next time!"

After being exposed, Li Xuan felt embarrassed and didn't even watch the rest of the game. He trotted away.

"Everyone, please take your time. I have something to ask Jie Li, so I'll be leaving first!"

The final result of the competition was not unexpected. After Kagura drew her sword, the competition ended. She also completed her best performance since her debut. From then on, she became a low-level fighter and could only sell grilled fish on the beach.

……

As the sky grew darker, the second day's competition had ended, and the people at the competition venue had left one after another. The City of Flowers gradually became lively again.

At this time, in the suburbs around the city, Li Xuan and Jie Lu finally met again.

The two of them sat on a slope and looked up at the sky.

The evening sky was divided into two parts, one side was covered with a layer of gray gauze, and the other side was dyed bright red, which was very beautiful.

Li Xuan asked, "Why did you join Team B? I remember you're usually reluctant to show off your abilities."

Jie Li asked in return, "The guild is about to make a comeback, and this competition will maximize our reputation. Why not take advantage of such a good opportunity?"

Li Xuan nodded: "This is indeed a good opportunity, but aren't you being too bullying?"

"Really? We're all wizards, and I didn't even use any magic, so how can that be considered bullying?"

Such shameless remarks actually came from Jie Yu, which made Li Xuan somewhat suspicious as to what had changed such an honest man?!
