~~~~3rd Pov~~~~

Hak looked around the sphere, letting his instinct take over allowing him to be on his guard and sensitive to any type of movement near him. 

Now currently have 5 members of each guild in the sphere. 

Have some Hak fight scenes to make Lucy even proud. 

sixth members, Flare , Ren, MIlianna, Rouge, Lyon, Rocker, Orga. 

As the sixth members entered the sphere, Rocker whom chose the wrong entrance appear right in front of Kagura whom without any hesitation threw him out of the sphere with no remorse.

Everyone sweat-drop at that scene while some tried to hold back some laughter that was trying to escape their mouth.

"T-that's Fast.."-Yona

"Damn he's useless, then again no one can blame him seeing as how he appeared in front of such a strong opponent."-Yun

"With the sixth member kicked out of the sphere by Kagura, Quatro Cerberus is out of members in the water sphere! Will the last member whom is Bacchus able to turn the game around?! The leading team now is Sabertail A with Gray, Laxus,Sting,Hak,Natsu and Rouge while Sabertail B lacks behind by one member!"-Chapatti

"I'm don't know if I should be surprised at how well Hak is holding on or happy the fact that he looks like he's having fun."-Yona

"Be happy for him Yona-chan! To any warrior or mage, fighting is sometimes the best way to convey what they want to say!"-Levy

"Oh, I see!"-Yona

Despite not having magic like the rest of the competitors, Hak was holding up a fight better than anyone has expected especially with that huge smirk on his face which made him become the talk with the judges 

"Well looks like your student is holding up well Lucy."-Yajima

"Yup, though I must admit, he improved more than I had expected. One thing that never change is that smirk on his face whenever he fight..Guess that's what makes him, well him."-Lucy

As soon as Lucy said that, Hak turned to faced her and gave her a smirk.Lucy watched with a proud smile on her face and gave Hak a wink which made Hak blushed badly before continuing his attack, Soo-won whom saw that felt jealous as he slowly clenched his fist.

He looked towards Lucy whom was resting her head on her hand with a sadden look on his face as he tried to get a hold of Lucy hand before hearing his bodyguard clear his throat. He glared at his bodyguard whom jerked his head towards the arena signalling him to focus on the fight.

Soo-Won's face turned stoic as he watched Chapati signal the last member to go into the sphere. 

~~~~Mini TimeSkip~~~~

"With only 2 teams Sabartail A and Mermaid heel left, what do you think about it so far Lucy?"-Yamaji asked

"I'm not sure if I should be surprised at how Glidarts went out.."-Lucy said sweat-dropped

"Haha Indeed, who would've thought just a illusion of his daughter Cana would be enough to get him out of the sphere."- Soo Won

"Then again, if you see your daughter doing a strip-show, any normal parents would step in huh?"- Lucy said as she sweat-dropped

"With now only Hak, Laxus and Rouge for Sabertail A while Mermaid heels is left with Kagura and Millianna, with the remaining participants, who would Win?!"-Chapati

'Of course Sabertail would win! They are the 2 strongest guilds combined!'-Person A

' You can't say it like that you know, there is hope for Mermaid heels you know!'-Person B

'However no matter you think about, it's gonna be Sabertail that wins! Especially since Mermaid Heels is out-numbered'-you get it

'Nonononono, Don't forget there's Kagura that is still surviving.She can turn it around and pull a miracle. It doesn't matter if Millianna is in the sphere. I know it!'

At that comment, Kagura glared at the person whom spoke that while millianna got closer to Kagura with her head down, her hand clasped together with Kagura's for comfort.

'There's also the apprentice of Lucy in there you know! I bet he can do more amazing stuff ! He is Lucy's student after all, it's expected of him'

Hak flinched, realizing the amount of stress left on his shoulder just because he was taught by Lucy. He did experience such pressure back at the castle, however he didn't really care since he know what kind of damage he can inflict back at the castle. Here, sadly he is an outside with little to no knowledge as to the rules at this place making him feel very pressured. Laxus and Rouge placed their hands  knowing how it feels to have such a huge burden on a person.

Yona clenched her hand into a fist. when she was at her castle, high expectation was always around her seeing how she was the late King's daughter. 

'OI! Show us a good match, don't stand there like an idiot will ya'll?Don't disappoint us!'

'Yea! Show us a match worth out time! Worthless!'

Guilds members outside the sphere tried to hold their anger while Gildarts was restraining a hot-head call Natsu.

Insults came like waves of tsunami, non-stop and unexpected. The remaining people in the sphere didn't budged from their spot with their hands clenched into a fist not saying anything back to them since they are representing their designated guild.

Every guild masters other than Raventail were trying their very best to control their members as well as their own temper.

As more insults was thrown, a random glass bottle was thrown towards Hak whom wasn't paying attention to anything until the glass bottle shattered and shadow loomed over his area of the sphere. Everyone eyes widened as Hak's jaw slight opened as Soo-won's hands was extended as though he tried to grab something but missed.

Water as well as blood dripped down from Lucy's head, her back facing the sphere as a magic circle appeared below Lucy, holding her in place in mid-air. With her bangs blocking her eyes, She took a deep breath before glaring at the crowd in front of her.

"You know, if you guys shut your mouths and keep your expectations to yourself, maybe you will see the best match of your life. 'Worthless?' 'Don't disappoint you guys?' 'Doesn't matter?' 'As expected?' Who the hell do you think you are saying such bullshit? You think it's easy for them to even participant in such matches? Have you thought of the fear they had before stepping into the arena?"-Lucy snapped at the audience

Silence...

"Judging by how quiet you guys it's a no huh? Then Question 2, did you think it's easy representing your own family in a fight? No? Well that's expected from you guys, what makes you think it is that easy to do any of the 2? Representing your guild, your family means you're showing what you will do and how you will do it to protect or even make a name for them? Did you think we fight because we want to destroy one other?"-Lucy

"Of course not. In fact we fight one another full force as a form of respect, it's the same as saying : We are going through the same thing, let's have fun while fighting. Let's fight each other with full force so that even though we lose we can tell ourselves we tried and not I failed as a guild member."

"These little words goes through our brain while we fight, each blow we exchange with each other is encouragement and respect. So instead of just sitting there and demanding for a good fight or a good 'show' how about you guys look at the meaning of each blows huh?"-Lucy finished as her magic circle carried her back to the judge room where she sat down and closed her eyes to meditate, blocking all noises from the outside world.

Silence was only heard, all the guilds present was touched by how Lucy stood up for them and started remembering their fight throughout their years and what each blows to the enemies meant to them.

Claps slowly traveled throughout the arena as everyone started shouting encouraging words to all the guilds while the people whom sound out their negative remarks just now apologized to the remaining participants in the sphere.

Sabertail looked at the girl meditating at her seat with a king staring at her, proud that she stood up to the crowd and got them to know about the participants feelings without hurting anyone emotionally or physically.

Lucy with a small smile on her face, continued to meditate as her wounds slowly heals up leaving her a slight blood trail on her face which Soo-won delicately wiped off with his sleeves.

He was worried about her especially after witnessing how her aura changed within seconds due to the insults thrown,it was a first for him to witness Lucy that angry. And the speed she went.. It should be expected seeing as how she is the strongest Mage he knows yet, the fact that she moved a few seconds before the bottle was even raised.. 

Instinctively, Soo-won clenched his hand into a fist as he thought of how weak he is, thinking how long does he have to wear this mask on him while wondering

If they can be together again?

Let me start my thousand word apologies by saying I'm so sorry for the late updates! I've been busy with Intern and that shit has finally ended so hopefully I can Update more often now. 

Thank you for waiting! Love you humans!
