He proposed, but in the end, Newton was still rejected by Miraj, and there was no conclusion to it. The only benefit was that this helped Newton get through this crisis.
"Newton, the new S-Class level exam is about to start. You should come over with Miraj and Erza to act as examiners."
Makarov's words left Newton momentarily stunned, then he sighed a bit.
"It's that time again. Who are the candidates this time?"
Newton asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Well, Natsu and Gray will definitely be among them. Who else?"
"Kildas recommended Kana, and Reby is almost ready too. Elfman can also participate. Do you have any recommendations?"
Makarov had mostly selected those who were strong but still below the S-Class in Fairy Tail, and Newton had no objections to these choices. As for his own recommendations:
"What about Gajeel and Zhubian? Although they came from Specter, their strength is already comparable to Natsu's group. If possible, let them take part in the exam as well."
Newton didn't look down on these two just because they were once part of Specter; instead, he thought it would be great for them to become S-Class.
"Alright, then the candidate list for this S-Class exam is set."
Makarov added those two to the list.
"There's one more person. Should we add them as well?"
Makarov took out a piece of paper, which had a photo of a buzz-cut man on it.
"Mest?"
Newton was puzzled about why Makarov had brought out Mest's picture.
"I never expected this."
Neither did Makarov.
"I placed Mest in the new Magic Council, and then they sent him back to me. So I thought maybe I could sell some information to Mest this time, help him level up a bit."
Newton felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this. What was this? The spy I sent out was returned by the other side as a spy? He shook his head.
"Whatever, let him go if he wants."
"Old man, I have someone else I want to recommend."
At that moment, Laxus approached.
"I recommend Jett Sting. His strength is strong enough, and he's calm enough too."
Jett Sting had always been in a strategist-like position beside Laxus, and Laxus held a high regard for his abilities.
"Alright, then the list is finalized. Next, we need to discuss the examination method. This time, the location will still be Wolf Island. Is that okay?"
Wolf Island is a sacred place for Fairy Tail, so holding the S-Class Exam here has become a tradition. Naturally, Newton and Laxus had no objections.
"What about the assessment method?" Makarov pondered.
"How about letting them battle against you?" Laxus suggested with a grin.
"I like that idea, old man," Newton replied.
"That means no one would pass, right?" Newton frowned. Although their strength was considerable, just look at the current S-Class Mages: Kildas, Laxus, Newton, Erza, Miraj—each one of them was exceptionally powerful.
"Of course not. There are only five of you, but this time there are nine candidates on the list. I will divide them into seven paths; each of you will guard one. They must pass your tests to proceed. There will also be four remaining candidates who will battle in pairs. What do you think?"
Listening to this, Newton thought it could work, but…
"Let's give them a choice. They should each be allowed to pick a partner to incorporate teamwork into the mix."
Newton also made his suggestions.
"I don't care; I definitely won't let anyone from my side pass through."
Laxus was completely indifferent; anyway, those who lacked strength would never get past him.
"Alright, then let's settle this for the S-Class Exam. Newton, go inform Miraj and Erza, and tell them not to take any missions for now."
The S-Class Exam was undoubtedly a significant event, so the entire Guild, not just Newton's Guild, began to take action.
At the same time, everyone in the Guild started to tackle missions, hoping to see if they could participate in this S-Class Exam. However, what they didn't know was that the list of participants had already been decided in advance.
On the other side, Makarov announced the list, which was somewhat expected by everyone. However, Zhubian and Gajeel were surprised; after all, they hadn't been with Fairy Tail for long and were astonished to find themselves qualified for the exam.
Next came the announcement of the location and rules, with most of the current S-Class members standing beside Makarov.
"Come on, sweetheart! You have to do your best!"
This was Kildas, who was immediately hit by a bottle thrown by Kana.
"Hahaha, I will definitely defeat Kildas!"
Natsu boldly declared as he prepared to challenge the strongest.
The other participants in the exam were all brimming with confidence, as if the S-Class title was already within their grasp.
Soon, everyone began to choose their partners. Natsu picked Haru without hesitation; it was no surprise, as the duo of a boy and his cat seemed inseparable. Similarly, Gajeel chose his partner, Lily. The remaining participants saw Rocky running off on his own, seemingly ready to team up with Gray. Kana and Lucy appeared to have formed a partnership as well. Sting found his companion from the Thunder God Clan, Bigusro, to team up with. Evangeline looked a bit upset that she wasn't chosen and sulked over to Elfman. Lisanna took the initiative to partner with Zhubian, while Reby and Mest both approached Wendy.
It made sense; Wendy, the Sky Eater Dragon Mage, had formidable supplementary magic that could elevate their status significantly.
Initially, one might think girls would have an advantage in such scenarios, but when Mest revealed he was a disciple of Mister Gang, Wendy agreed to his request.
Reby felt disheartened; compared to these individuals, she felt she lacked any real advantage.
"Jiang, temporarily grant access to Reby."
After all, Reby often studied alongside Newton, who didn't want her to lose before even stepping onto the field. With a wealth of knowledge as her foundation, Reby's ancient text magic could unleash powers that would astonish everyone.
"President, is that alright?"
Someone inquired since the requirement was for a Fairy Tail Mage. However, Newton was more of a tool—well, a tool that didn't even count as a person. Therefore, Makarov had little concern; after all, tools could be considered a form of strength. Still, Makarov insisted that Reby couldn't find a partner anymore, which didn't really matter at this point.
Just as everyone was preparing intensely for the event, Newton received news from the Dark Guild.
