In the following time, Caesar devoted himself to the subjugation commissions, even accepting a commission to subjugate bandits alone.
It was also through the commissions one after another that Caesar gradually became familiar with the card Escanor, and also got used to the state of taking over three cards at the same time.
However, at noon, Caesar's combat state could only last for three seconds.
And this was when only taking over one Escanor card. If taking over three cards, the magic reserve would be drained in an instant.
But although it was only three seconds, Caesar still said he was terribly strong at that time!
In addition, there was another problem: Caesar in this mode had too much destructive power.
For example, when subjugating monsters, three seconds was too short, so Caesar swung his hand knife and directly shaved the nearby hills.
Because of this, unless time was particularly tight, Caesar temporarily sealed the Escanor card.
Even so, if Caesar had not mastered alchemy and could repair it, the complaints and various reports would probably fill up the Magic Council.
Well, Master Yajima was also very hardworking. If he could avoid bothering him, he preferred not to, so that he wouldn't worry too much about his old age.
In addition, there were more orders for Magic No.2 Potion, and the first batch of pre-orders was for 1,000 bottles.
Well, a small goal had been easily achieved.
The only pity was that Caesar was busy preparing, so the orders had to be put aside temporarily.
However, sharpening the knife does not delay chopping wood. Now that his magic power had doubled, he devoted himself to making medicine all day. If he used up his magic power, he could make 60 bottles of potion. A thousand bottles could be finished in 17 days, which was not a big problem.
The most important thing now was the S-level assessment!
In winter, the temperature dropped particularly quickly this year. Last night, the first snow of the year fell early, and the whole Magnolia was covered with a thick layer of snow.
On this day, the Fairy Tail Guild was particularly lively.
Makarov also changed out of his clown-like clothes and put on the Holy Ten Cloak, which represented his identity.
"Ahem."
Makarov coughed twice, looked at the guild members gathered together, and said: "According to the ancient tradition of Fairy Tail, today is the day to announce the list of S-class wizards for the upgrading assessment."
"Oh!"
The guild members shouted collectively, everyone full of excitement.
Looking at the excited people, Makarov pulled the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "Why are you so excited? I haven't seen you this hyped in previous years. You are all guys who cram at the last minute."
"Haha, that's different."
"Yeah, who doesn't want to climb up?"
"I hope so! I hope so!"
"There should be Caesar this year, right?"
"Oh my god, I just remembered, indeed, if Caesar is here, the difficulty will be increased this year!"
Makarov waited for the voices below to die down before he spoke: "This year's exam venue is in the wasteland."
"Hiss."
Everyone took a breath of cold air. The wasteland is a piece of land with extremely weak magic in the Fairy Tail world, but because of geothermal reasons, it attracts many fire monsters to settle here.
There are many monsters here, coupled with the thin magic power, so naturally no one goes there, which leads to a large number of monsters in the deserted land. Basically, every period of time, many monster clearance commissions related to the deserted land are issued.
"This year, I have seen everyone's strength, heart, and soul, so this time, there are two participants!"
Makarov looked towards the crowd: "Caesar! Laxus!"
Seeing the list announced, everyone sighed. While regretting not being selected, they were also convinced by the list.
Needless to say, Caesar is a task-mad man and his own strength is constantly improving. Not to mention his peers, even the S-level magicians in general guilds are not necessarily Caesar's opponents.
Laxus's strength is obvious to all. Originally, the number of commissions he completed was not high, but after being stimulated by Caesar, he began to receive a large number of commissions and hone himself, so it is normal for him to be qualified.
"Of course, as before, only one person can pass this assessment! The content of the assessment will not be revealed until you reach the deserted land. Caesar, Laxus, do you understand?"
"Understood, Master."
"I know, Master."
Caesar and Laxus looked at each other and nodded in response.
"Meet in the deserted land in a week. During this week, you will choose a partner to take the assessment with you."
Makarov looked at the two people and held out two fingers and said: "First, you must choose Fairy Tail guild members. Second, you are not allowed to choose S-class magicians as partners. If you don't choose a good partner within a week, then you automatically give up your qualifications for assessment."
As soon as Makarov finished speaking, Caesar's expression was calm, and Laxus was completely frozen.
Caesar was not worried. After all, whether it was Erza, Mirajane, or even Gray and Natsu, they had a good relationship with him. Moreover, it was an S-level assessment. They probably all hoped that Caesar could take them with him to let them experience it in advance. Let's take a look at the assessment atmosphere and prepare for their future promotion to S level.
As for Laxus, although there had been some changes at this stage, he had not yet established a good relationship with the members of the guild. As for the future Thunder Gods, they had not yet joined the guild, so Laxus was in trouble.
Laxus glanced at Caesar, who spread his hands towards him and said, "I am also an assessor, so I can't help you."
Laxus became gloomy and looked at the others.
The guild members laughed when they saw this scene, but it was not to laugh at Laxus, but to think of Laxus's dark history.
Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, some people also approached Laxus and recommended themselves.
After all, in the S-level assessment, even if it's not you, it's a good thing to be able to help others and gain some experience yourself.
Laxus also got rid of the embarrassment and finally formed a team with Max, a wizard who uses sand magic.
As for Caesar.
"Caesar, choose me. The geothermal energy over there is strong. I am of ice attribute and can restrain those fire monsters."
"I want to go too, I am a Fire Dragon Slayer magic user, fire has no effect on me!"
"Like!"
"Happy, don't interrupt. Caesar, I'll go with you. We both take over magic, so we're the best match!"
"Want to help? My armor's defense is pretty good."
Looking at the noisy people around him, there was no doubt that Caesar's popularity in the guild was still very good.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Caesar looked at Mirajane, who had been a little restrained recently but was still wearing warm clothes and shorts and a ponytail, and said: "Mira, please go with me."
"Yeah! I knew you would choose me!"
Mirajane jumped up, rushed over, hooked Caesar's neck and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely make you an S-class mage!"
