Chapter 20
Two hours later, Ye Yu returned to the beach from the forest.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Makarov holding a parasol and a deck chair, drinking an ice drink and looking at the scenery. He was so happy.
"Wow, it’s quick, Ye Yu, you are the first one to come back," Makarov heard the footsteps and turned around to see Ye Yu coming back.
"Of course, it's not that hard to find a token," Ye Yu took out five pairs of tokens from his body and the space ring and threw them on the ground.
Then he took out a recliner and a glass of iced juice from the space ring.
"Hmm~ Comfortable, luckily I prepared it in advance," Ye Yu took a sip of ice juice, very satisfied with his foresight, and prepared a lot of food, drinks and entertainment in the space ring.
"Do you have beer?"Makarov finished his ice drink and immediately asked Ye Yu
""Hey," Ye Yu had expected this and handed a glass of beer to Makarov.
Afterwards, Ye Yu and Makarov sat on the recliner and watched the scenery for half an hour. The second person who collected the tokens came, it was Erza.
"As expected, you are the fastest," Erza said with an expression of not being surprised.
Ye Yu raised his eyebrows and said proudly,"I always like to be the first."
After that, Ye Yu rolled his eyes and said,"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come and lie down and have a rest. We'll wait for Mira."
Ye Yu took out a recliner and ice juice, arranged Erza, and watched the scenery together.
As soon as Erza saw Ye Yu's eyes, she knew that he had no good intentions towards Mira, but this was what she wanted to see.
So Erza cooperated with Ye Yu and waded down. Don't say it, after being tired for more than 2 hours, drinking a sip of ice juice was really comfortable.
10 minutes later, Mira finally collected all the tokens and rushed back. As soon as she arrived at the beach, she immediately realized that she was in third place and was going to be eliminated.
"Why are you so fast?!"
"It's fine if it's fast, but why are you still here looking at the scenery and drinking juice?! Who are you showing this to!!!"
"Is there still law?! Is there still law?!"
Mira was so irritated by this scene that she stood there in a rage for a long time.
Of course, the most important thing was that Mira didn't want to lose to Erza, who was a good friend but a tit-for-tat opponent in the guild every day.
""Hahahaha," Ye Yu laughed happily when he saw what he wanted to see. At the same time, he took out the magenta camera and took a picture of Mira's helpless and furious look as a souvenir.
Mira found that she was being photographed and immediately wanted to grab the camera.
Ye Yu put away the camera, stood up and ran, and Mira chased after him.
"Don't run, give me the camera!"
"Impossible, don't even think about it!"
Erza also laughed when she saw such a funny scene.
For a moment, everyone lost the seriousness they had when they first arrived on the island, and everyone relaxed.
After chasing and playing for a while, Makarov finally remembered the business, clapped his hands and said:"Okay, okay, come back, and let me tell you about the content of the second level."
Ye Yu and Mira also ran back to Makarov. After standing still, Mira glared at Ye Yu fiercely, and her eyes revealed: When the assessment is over, you will be in trouble.
Ye Yu turned his head and pretended not to see it. He took two steps and slipped behind Erza.
"The second level is a duel, Ye Yu VS Erza, but there are special rules"
"The rule is that the winner must be decided within 10 minutes."
"If you exceed the time limit, even if both of you are eliminated, no one will be promoted in this S-level assessment!"Makarov stated the rules seriously.
"Grandpa, 10 minutes is too short. Unless Erza and I fight to the death, it will be impossible."
"Please don't extend the time," Ye Yu requested.
"No, the rules are set, and you can't do it. If you can't do it, think of a way," Makarov refused sternly, leaving no room for change.
The first level is to find the token, which tests observation and action.
The second level tests quick wit or intelligence gathering.
Makarov knew that Ye Yu and Erza would not fight desperately, so a normal ten-minute duel would definitely not determine the winner, and he could only think of another way during the battle.
Or he could collect intelligence on the other side on weekdays, know the other side's weaknesses and flaws, and then decide the winner within 10 minutes.
"The duel will begin in one minute, both of you get ready," Makarov took out an hourglass from his pocket and prepared to start the timer.
"Ye Yu, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Since the battle between you and Gildarts half a year ago, I have wanted to fight you," Erza said seriously.
"Hey, I didn't even notice it, how did you keep it to yourself for half a year without telling me?" Ye Yu asked curiously, while putting away the lounge chairs and parasols nearby to avoid them getting damaged later.
"You always treat me to strawberry cake, how can I say that? Besides, I haven't restrained your armor yet, it takes time to build it," Erza blushed and said a little embarrassedly
"Wow, we have such a good relationship, but you actually built armor to restrain me. I'm sorry, you have to compensate me!" Ye Yu covered his chest and pretended to be hurt.
"Then, I will treat you to strawberry cake when I go back?" Erza asked carefully.
"Look, this is what you said, you can't go back on your word," Ye Yu saw the benefit, and his expression immediately changed.
Seeing that Ye Yu was not angry, Erza also breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Erza was relieved and cared about her appearance, Ye Yu suddenly thought of a plan, which could kill two birds with one stone in an instant.
If the plan fails, then we can only look for another opportunity later.
Makarov, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes after listening to the exchange between Ye Yu and Erza, and found something wrong.
Erza, who is usually more masculine than boys, how could she become a little girlish towards Ye Yu, even though Erza is a girl.
Could it be that... well, it's a good thing that two excellent children can get along with each other
"Old man, the time is up," a minute passed, and seeing that Makarov had not made any move, Ye Yu reminded him.
"Oh, oh, the duel begins! Makarov came to his senses, turned the hourglass on his hand to count the time, and pushed Mira aside to be the audience.
"Come on Erza, show Ye Yu some color!" Mira cheered for Erza loudly, obviously she had not forgotten the black history.
Makarov turned his head and looked at Mira. This child did not notice Erza's problem with Ye Yu. She was still very naive.
He turned his head and looked at Ye Yu and Erza again. These two children probably just had this tendency.
This is indeed youth. I was like this back then.
Makarov fell into memories for a moment.
