[00:02] ---
    The port town of Hargeon...
[00:06] ---
    A Fairy Tail ship has
    just set sail from here.
[00:12] ---
    With 8 teams of wizards aboard,
    it heads for Tenroujima.
[01:50] ---
    The S Class Wizard Advancement Exam
    is a big annual event in Fairy Tail.
[01:58] ---
    8 participants, including Natsu,
    and their chosen partners,
[02:02] ---
    took up the challenge, set this year
    on the holy ground of Tenroujima.
[02:09] ---
    Only one person can pass.
[02:11] ---
    Who will be the one to
    open the door to S Class?
[02:21] ---
    So hot...
[02:23] ---
    Even though it was winter
    at home... What is this?!
[02:26] ---
    I think I'm gonna melt!
[02:29] ---
    I'll turn into ice cream
    and get eaten by Happy!
[02:33] ---
    Not very appetizing...
[02:35] ---
    Lu-chan, sit up straight.
[02:38] ---
    Because of currents, this area has
    the same climate all year 'round.
[02:48] ---
    I feel sluggish...
[02:51] ---
    I'm gonna turn into ice cream...
[02:54] ---
    Aye...
[02:56] ---
    This heat ain't nothin'.
[02:59] ---
    Juvia, aren't you hot all bundled up in that?
[03:03] ---
    Juvia is not hot...
[03:05] ---
    But you could say...
[03:08] ---
    ...that Gray's naked body is hot!
[03:10] ---
    Hot...
[03:12] ---
    I feel sick!
[03:15] ---
    Natsu! Keep it away from here, okay?
[03:19] ---
    Wendy didn't perform a Troia spell on me!
[03:24] ---
    You can't blame her.
[03:25] ---
    After all, she's Mest's partner.
[03:27] ---
    I'm sorry, Natsu-san.
[03:32] ---
    I don't care for this chumminess when
    soon, we're all going to be enemies.
[03:38] ---
    It's hot to be a Man!
[03:41] ---
    I have no idea what that means.
[03:43] ---
    I wanna eat ice cream...
[03:46] ---
    Don't eat me, okay?
[03:49] ---
    I can't even imagine you
    as ice cream, Happy...
[03:59] ---
    It's in sight.
[04:03] ---
    That...?
[04:11] ---
    Who's the One with the Good Luck?
[04:22] ---
    Have we arrived?
[04:24] ---
    That's Tenroujima?!
[04:26] ---
    What a freaky shape!
[04:29] ---
    Is that an island on top of the island?
[04:31] ---
    Wow... Even from here, I feel magic
    power in the air around the island.
[04:37] ---
    Very impressive.
[04:41] ---
    Natsu! We're almost there.
[04:45] ---
    It's said that long ago,
[04:47] ---
    there were fairies on that island.
[04:50] ---
    Master...
[04:52] ---
    Also, in reference to the
    very first Fairy Tail master,
[04:55] ---
    there's Moebius Vermilion's Sleeping Ground!
[04:59] ---
    What's with those clothes?!
[05:02] ---
    After all, it's hot!
[05:04] ---
    Someone who wears no clothes can talk?!
[05:07] ---
    Now, I will announce your first trial.
[05:12] ---
    First trial?!
[05:14] ---
    Usually, the test is split
    up into different levels.
[05:18] ---
    You see the smoke rising over the shore?
[05:21] ---
    First, head over there.
[05:24] ---
    You'll find 8 passages, but only
    one team can enter each passage.
[05:31] ---
    And at the end of each
    passage, this will happen.
SIGN    Battle
SIGN    Calm
SIGN    Pitched Battle
SIGN    Entrance
SIGN    First Trial Pass
[05:55] ---
    Only the teams that get through
    this will pass the first trial.
[06:01] ---
    "Battle"?
[06:02] ---
    It says "Pitched Battle" on
    Erza and Gildarts' faces...
[06:06] ---
    What is that?
[06:07] ---
    There's "Calm", too.
[06:09] ---
    In the "Battle" route, two teams
    amongst the eight go head to head,
[06:13] ---
    and only the team that wins can go on.
[06:17] ---
    "Pitched Battle" is the most difficult route,
[06:20] ---
    as you must defeat a current
    S Class wizard to proceed.
[06:23] ---
    "Calm" is a route that can be used
    to get to the end without fighting.
[06:31] ---
    In this first trial, you're being
    tested on "armed might" and "luck"!
[06:37] ---
    "Luck"?!
[06:39] ---
    If it's about luck, we have a chance!
[06:40] ---
    There's only a 1 in 8 chance
    of getting the "Silence" route.
[06:45] ---
    Theoretically, 6 teams at
    most can pass this stage.
[06:49] ---
    I-Impossible!
[06:51] ---
    I can't get past the path
    guarded by Gildarts or Erza!
[06:55] ---
    Don't be such a coward!
[06:57] ---
    In a worst-case scenario, only
    3 teams would pass this...
[07:01] ---
    Interesting! I'll put the boot to all of 'em!
[07:06] ---
    Uh, look...
[07:08] ---
    So, get going!
[07:10] ---
    The test has begun!
[07:12] ---
    Huh?
[07:13] ---
    We're still at sea.
[07:18] ---
    You know what to do, Happy.
[07:22] ---
    We'll choose our passage first!
[07:24] ---
    Aye, sir!
[07:27] ---
    No fair!
[07:27] ---
    Natsu! You bastard!
[07:31] ---
    A rune?!
[07:35] ---
    Relax! It'll disappear in 5 minutes!
[07:39] ---
    Fried!
[07:40] ---
    Bastard!
[07:42] ---
    We probably should've sealed them
    off 'til the whole thing's over!
[07:44] ---
    What kind of test would that be then?
[07:47] ---
    Hey, Gramps! Is that kind of thing allowed?!
[07:50] ---
    Well, it's not a race...
[07:53] ---
    If we let them get to the island ahead of us,
[07:55] ---
    they'll probably set up
    runes all over the place!
[08:00] ---
    Dammit!
[08:01] ---
    I know! Levy can get through!
[08:04] ---
    Right, I can rewrite the spell!
[08:08] ---
    But...
[08:08] ---
    Only for Gajeel and me!
[08:11] ---
    What?!
[08:13] ---
    Levy-chan!
[08:15] ---
    Sorry, Lu-chan!
[08:17] ---
    See you guys later!
[08:19] ---
    Jerks!
[08:22] ---
    I've known Fried for a long time, too.
[08:26] ---
    Evergreen!
[08:27] ---
    Perhaps a more complicated
    trap would've been a problem,
[08:30] ---
    but I can rewrite a rune like this.
[08:33] ---
    Let's go, Elfman!
[08:35] ---
    Man!
[08:37] ---
    Dammit!
[08:38] ---
    How many more minutes 'til it turns off?
[08:40] ---
    There are still 4 minutes left.
[08:41] ---
    Then Levy escaped the
    rune in just one minute?
[08:48] ---
    5 minutes later...
[08:50] ---
    It's dispelled!
[08:52] ---
    Let's go, Lucy!
[08:53] ---
    Yeah!
[08:54] ---
    Come on, Loke!
[08:55] ---
    At least wear underpants!
[08:58] ---
    Happy!
[08:58] ---
    Aye, sir!
[09:01] ---
    Ice Make...
[09:03] ---
    Floor!
[09:08] ---
    He turned the surface of the water to ice!
[09:09] ---
    Lisanna-san, would you follow me?
[09:12] ---
    Of course!
[09:13] ---
    The sea and a fish?!
[09:16] ---
    Hey, Cana! We're last!
[09:20] ---
    No, Mest and Wendy are still up here.
[09:23] ---
    Where?!
[09:24] ---
    They disappeared?!
[09:26] ---
    When?!
[09:28] ---
    If we don't hurry, we won't
    be able to choose our passage!
[09:48] ---
    This island... I'm feeling great
    magical power coming from the ground.
[09:53] ---
    Yeah...
[10:01] ---
    Let's go!
[10:04] ---
    H route is blocked. F route is blocked.
    B route is blocked. A route is blocked.
[10:12] ---
    Hey!
[10:13] ---
    4 routes are sealed up?!
[10:16] ---
    Which one should we pick, Natsu?
[10:19] ---
    Mmm...
[10:20] ---
    E!
[10:22] ---
    That's gotta be E for Erza!
[10:24] ---
    Why would you choose Erza?
[10:27] ---
    'Cause I wanna take her down, of course!
[10:29] ---
    Wait for me, Erza!
[10:33] ---
    He's made up his mind that
    Erza's down this way...
[10:40] ---
    E route is blocked.
[10:49] ---
    There are 7 X's. Then we are last...
[10:54] ---
    It's okay! Like they say,
    "saving the best for last".
[10:58] ---
    If I have one good point,
    it's that I'm lucky.
[11:02] ---
    We'll make you into an S
    Class wizard for sure, Cana!
[11:04] ---
    Yeah. Thank you, Lucy.
[11:15] ---
    It's lighter in here than I thought it'd be.
[11:17] ---
    Because of the Spirit Light bugs, which
    are summer bugs with glowing bodies.
[11:24] ---
    That voice!
[11:25] ---
    Who's there?!
[11:26] ---
    Don't tell me this is...
SIGN    Battle
[11:29] ---
    Battle?!
[11:30] ---
    I was right! Cana and that cosplayer...
[11:34] ---
    It's Lucy!
[11:35] ---
    So we're supposed to fight you, eh?
[11:40] ---
    Fried and Bickslow are members
    of the Thunder God Tribe.
[11:44] ---
    Some time ago, in the Battle of Fairy Tail,
[11:47] ---
    Lucy and Cana had a showdown with these two.
[11:51] ---
    However...
[11:54] ---
    Saving what for last, Lucy?
[11:57] ---
    The Thunder God Tribe...
[11:59] ---
    The person who couldn't even touch Fried...
[12:02] ---
    The one who was beaten by Bickslow when
    Loke wasn't around to fight for her...
[12:17] ---
    Tenroujima...
[12:19] ---
    During the first trial to be
    promoted to an S Class wizard,
[12:22] ---
    Lucy and Cana, the last of the 8 pairs
    to arrive, took the last passage left.
[12:29] ---
    It turned out to be a Battle route,
    where two pairs must fight each other.
[12:34] ---
    And what's being tested
    in this first stage...
[12:38] ---
    is military might...
[12:39] ---
    and luck.
[12:41] ---
    It seems only the pair that
    wins can proceed through there!
[12:45] ---
    It seems! It seems!
[12:47] ---
    I'm sorry, but this is
    as far as you go, Cana.
[12:51] ---
    I'm going to be the one
    to take Laxus's place.
[12:56] ---
    Fine!
[12:58] ---
    I've got my own reason for
    becoming an S Class wizard!
[13:01] ---
    So it's on!
[13:07] ---
    But before that, why don't
    you put on some clothes?
[13:12] ---
    This way is better, Fried!
[13:14] ---
    Better! Better!
[13:16] ---
    No, it's not! It's distracting!
[13:20] ---
    In that case...
[13:25] ---
    Sexy Lady Cards!
[13:27] ---
    Ladies coming out of the cards?!
[13:30] ---
    You have no sense of decency!
[13:32] ---
    Keep it together, Fried!
[13:36] ---
    What's going on?!
[13:37] ---
    I figured as much! He has
    a weakness for women!
[13:41] ---
    Fine! I'll just have to deal with you myself!
[13:44] ---
    Lucy!
[13:45] ---
    Right!
[13:46] ---
    Open! Gate of the Maiden!
[13:48] ---
    Virgo!
[13:49] ---
    Totally fan service version!
[13:53] ---
    A-Another one!
[13:55] ---
    That doesn't work on me!
[13:58] ---
    Here I go, baby!
[14:00] ---
    Virgo's duties...
[14:02] ---
    V
[14:03] ---
    Make grime and mold Vanish from the bathroom!
[14:06] ---
    IR
[14:07] ---
    Serve Lucy-sama faithfully,
    even if she acts IRresponsibly!
[14:09] ---
    GO
[14:10] ---
    GO outside and separate the trash!
[14:15] ---
    You're so weak!
[14:16] ---
    Why'd you call her?!
[14:18] ---
    I thought another woman might be effective...
[14:26] ---
    I don't wanna put the hurt on you too
    much, so hurry up and take a nap!
[14:33] ---
    Dammit!
[14:35] ---
    You're not gonna hit my guys!
[14:36] ---
    Here we go, baby!
[14:39] ---
    I'm counting on you, Aries!
[14:41] ---
    I-I'm sorry...
[14:43] ---
    Do something!
[14:45] ---
    Yes, I'll try.
[14:47] ---
    Wool Bomb!
[14:53] ---
    What is this fluffiness?!
[14:56] ---
    I-I'm sorry...
[14:57] ---
    Another one...
[14:59] ---
    Wool Wall!
[15:02] ---
    So fluffy...
[15:04] ---
    Just looking at it makes my thoughts fuzzy!
[15:07] ---
    Hey, idiot!
[15:09] ---
    You're not focusing on the problem at hand!
[15:12] ---
    Problem at hand! Problem at hand!
[15:16] ---
    Lucy...
[15:18] ---
    ...Kick!
[15:23] ---
    We did it! Just like I planned!
[15:26] ---
    They remember what happened last time,
    so they underestimated our strength!
[15:31] ---
    Did I do okay? I'm sorry...
[15:35] ---
    Uh... "Lucy Kick"...?
[15:39] ---
    Knock it off!
[15:42] ---
    Crap! The effect wore off!
[15:45] ---
    You caught me off guard
    and fogged up my mind...
[15:49] ---
    ...but here I go!
[15:51] ---
    He's mad!
[15:51] ---
    Dark Ecriture! Wings!
[16:04] ---
    Cana!
[16:04] ---
    No way am I gonna lose here!
[16:07] ---
    Prayer's Fountain!
[16:14] ---
    There's no use!
[16:16] ---
    Again?!
[16:17] ---
    Water!
[16:18] ---
    Lucy, no! This water is meant for attacking!
[16:22] ---
    It's dangerous to touch it!
[16:24] ---
    I'll be fine!
[16:27] ---
    Open! Gate of the Water Bearer!
[16:31] ---
    Aquarius!
[16:32] ---
    Another swimsuit?!
[16:34] ---
    Aquarius, get 'em!
[16:39] ---
    Ouch! What was that for?!
[16:42] ---
    They're the enemies!
[16:43] ---
    What's with the outfit?
[16:46] ---
    Hmph, you'll need 100
    more years of experience
[16:48] ---
    if you mean to draw a man's
    attention with a swimsuit.
[16:51] ---
    Hey, bitch! What the hell are you doing?!
[16:53] ---
    Excuse me?
[16:54] ---
    Um, Cana...
[16:56] ---
    Don't you know the difference
    between allies and enemies?!
[16:58] ---
    All little girls are my enemy! Got it?!
[17:01] ---
    What, do you think soft, supple
    skin equates to justice?!
[17:07] ---
    The way you are, you'll never
    be able to get a boyfriend.
[17:10] ---
    0 points. As a woman, you score a zero.
[17:13] ---
    You're acting all cocky just
    because a couple of men are here?
[17:17] ---
    That's a cheap woman
    who'll stoop to anything!
[17:20] ---
    0 points!
[17:22] ---
    Cheap woman!
[17:23] ---
    These two are somehow similar...
[17:28] ---
    I've got a date with my boyfriend, so
    I'm going home. With my boyfriend...
[17:31] ---
    You don't have to say it twice!
[17:34] ---
    How selfish!
[17:36] ---
    We're not done here...
[17:39] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[17:41] ---
    What should we do, Cana?
[17:43] ---
    All right, I'll use this one more time!
[17:45] ---
    The same method won't work
    twice! We're up against Fried!
[17:49] ---
    Stop it!
[17:51] ---
    It's working again?!
[17:52] ---
    C-Cut it out! I can't fight like this...
[17:56] ---
    And on top of that...
[18:03] ---
    Fried-sama!
[18:07] ---
    Leave me alone!
[18:10] ---
    You're so mean!
[18:13] ---
    You're so mean!
[18:15] ---
    That's sort of unsettling...
[18:18] ---
    All right!
[18:20] ---
    Go!
[18:23] ---
    Okay!
[18:24] ---
    Look at me, Fried-sama!
[18:28] ---
    Look at me, too! See?!
[18:32] ---
    W-W-W-Wha...?!
[18:34] ---
    Fried-sama, you're so cute!
[18:39] ---
    What?!
[18:41] ---
    A wall of ladies?!
[18:44] ---
    Hmph! What do you think?
[18:49] ---
    That's amazing, Cana!
[18:51] ---
    Oh, this is a piece of cheesecake!
[18:53] ---
    What?!
[18:55] ---
    It's nice and all that we've confined
    him, but now what do we do?
[19:00] ---
    We can't actually win like this, can we?
[19:03] ---
    There has to be a way to break
    through... Break through...
[19:08] ---
    I'll escape that way!
[19:18] ---
    Gotcha!
[19:19] ---
    All right!
[19:20] ---
    Crap!
[19:23] ---
    Summoned Lightning!
[19:33] ---
    I-I beat him...
[19:35] ---
    Look! That passage is open now!
[19:38] ---
    Then that means...
[19:41] ---
    We did it!
[19:43] ---
    We made it through the first trial!
[19:46] ---
    Let's go, Lucy!
[19:58] ---
    Are you really sure about this, Fried?
[20:02] ---
    Yeah.
[20:04] ---
    If it were anybody else,
    I'd have gone all out.
[20:07] ---
    But I owed those two.
[20:09] ---
    I'd decided that if we met here on the
    "Battle" route, I'd throw the fight.
[20:13] ---
    Although the idea that you'd have a
    weakness for women was a bit over the top.
[20:18] ---
    Right?
[20:19] ---
    Shoot. And I was excited
    about taking Laxus's spot.
[20:24] ---
    That's not the important thing.
[20:28] ---
    It's all about Fairy Tail.
[20:32] ---
    Besides, Laxus will come
    back some day, count on it.
[20:37] ---
    Anyway, Lucy and Cana... Didn't figure
    we'd actually run into those two.
[20:43] ---
    Lucky them, huh?
[20:48] ---
    Meanwhile, in E route...
[20:53] ---
    Erza! Hurry up and get out here!
[20:56] ---
    Fight me!
[20:58] ---
    It's not for sure that
    Erza is on this route...
[21:01] ---
    Nuh-uh!! I took E for Erza's path!
[21:05] ---
    Just up ahead, I'll defeat Erza
    and become an S Class wizard!
[21:11] ---
    Natsu! The path is widening!
[21:21] ---
    Somebody's there!
[21:23] ---
    Who could it be?
[21:42] ---
    Gildarts!
[21:44] ---
    Hello there, Natsu.
[21:46] ---
    You drew the short straw, huh?

    It's over...
[21:51] ---
    You know, I just hate holding back...
[22:07] ---
    Natsu?!
[22:10] ---
    I'm all fired up!
[23:56] ---
    Natsu, nice try!
[23:57] ---
    "Nice try"? What do you mean?
[23:59] ---
    Well, the first trial of the test is over.
[24:01] ---
    What are you talking about?! It just started!
[24:04] ---
    Your opponent is Gildarts!
[24:06] ---
    I don't have to stick around
    to know the outcome.
[24:08] ---
    You just remember those words!
[24:10] ---
    When I beat Gildarts, you'll be laughing
    outta the other side of your face!
[24:13] ---
    Next time! Natsu versus Gildarts!
[24:17] ---
    I think I might get the last laugh.
[24:19] ---
    Well, go ahead and laugh, but
    you're gonna fight too, Happy.
[24:22] ---
    After all, you're my partner.
