In exchange, Ultear uses her magic to invoke their Second Origin in order to double their magic power . As the others undergo the painful process of awakening their Second Origin, Erza talks with Jellal over his regained memories . The two nearly kiss, but Jellal decides that he and Erza cannot be together and lies to her that he has a fiancée .

As Lucy tearfully speaks of Asuka's danger, Natsu is able to hear it and rushes to Asuka to incinerate Flare's hair, allowing Lucy to counterattack with her Urano Metoria spell in combination with Gemini .

The second day of the tournament begins with a footrace atop a train of moving chariots, causing the participants Natsu, Gajeel, and Sting to suffer from motion sickness as a side effect of their Dragon Slayer magic . As Natsu and Gajeel force themselves forward, Sting inquires about their determination to which Natsu responds that it is as a result of the strength of Fairy Tail's bonds .

Jenny then transforms into her battle armor while Mirajane shifts into her Satan Soul "Sitri" form and easily defeats Jenny . The final match of the day is announced, with Kagura Mikazuchi of Mermaid Heel pitted against Yukino Aguria of Saber Tooth . Yukino proposes to Kagura that they wager their lives on their battle .

Later, Jellal discusses the fact that he has not sensed the evil power similar to Zeref's even though the second day of the Grand Magic Games has ended . Erza reunites with Milliana, who is revealed to be a member of Mermaid Heel . Meanwhile, Saber Tooth's master Ziemma is dissatisfied with his guild's performance .

However, the guild master's daughter Minerva appears, ends their duel and, taking Happy hostage, convinces Natsu to settle their dispute in the Grand Magic Games . As Natsu leaves, he states that Saber Tooth will never surpass Fairy Tail because they care for their friends, words that are echoed by Rogue, while Sting is left in awe at Natsu's strength . The following day as the Grand Magic Games continue, an event called "Pandemonium" begins . It involves the participants entering a magical citadel filled with 100 monsters of varying strengths and individually doing battle with any number of monsters they choose . Representing Fairy Tail Team A, Erza requests the 100 monsters as her opponents . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 167 </Th> <Td> "100 Against 1" "Hyaku tai Ichi" (100 対 1) </Td> <Td> February 2, 2013 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="4"> Erza kills the 100 monsters using various types of armor to match their strength and weaknesses . As a result, the crowd praises Fairy Tail, and the guild is awarded with 10 points . Moreover, the game officials decided to determine the ranks of the remaining participants by means of a device called "Magic Power Finder" (sometimes abbreviated as MPF). Using this tool, participants must attack it with their magic power, which will, in turn, calculate and display their equivalent scores depending on the extent of power used . In the end, Cana of Fairy Tail Team B dominates the event by using the Fairy Glitter spell lent to her by Mavis, much to Makarov's surprise . With Cana's victory, Fairy Tail Team B receives 8 points, and the audience began to burst once more into a resounding swarm of cheers and claps due to the finish of the two Fairy Tail teams . Meanwhile, the Raven Tail team somehow managed to get an insider information regarding the battle matchups for the day, so the masked leader Alexei tells his subordinates Flare, Obra, Nalpudding, and Kurohebi that it's about time to proceed with their true mission . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 168 </Th> <Td> "Laxus vs. Alexei" "Rakusasu vs. Arekusei" (ラクサス vs. アレクセイ) </Td> <Td> February 9, 2013 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="4"> In the battle portion of the Grand Magic Games' third day, Milliana of Mermaid Heel beats Semmes of Quatro Puppy while Saber Tooth's Rufus swiftly defeats Blue Pegasus' Eve . For the third match, Laxus of Fairy Tail Team B is chosen to battle against Alexei of Team Raven Tail . Since the opponent is from a suspicious guild, the Fairy Tail members take extra precautions by watching the actions of Ivan Dreyar as well as the other four Raven Tail members . However, as the match commences, the spectators are shocked to see Laxus being beaten by Alexei, although no cautious movements can be seen from the Raven Tail team . It turns out that the two dueling people are just illusions created by Alexei in order for him to have a talk with Laxus . Also, the other Raven Tail members being monitored by Fairy Tail are just lifelike illusions, for in reality they are with Alexei in the battlefield . Alexei reveals himself to be Ivan Dreyar . Unable to interrogate Laxus of the Lumen Histoire's location, Ivan and the Raven Tail members are forced to fight him . Before their battle begins, Ivan declares that Raven Tail is an anti-Fairy Tail guild . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 169 </Th> <Td> "Wendy vs. Shelia" "Wendi vs. Sheria" (ウェンディ vs. シェリア) </Td> <Td> February 16, 2013 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="4"> After Laxus defeats Ivan and the four Raven Tail elite members, Ivan's illusions disappear to the shock of everyone in the stadium .

As the two exchange attacks, gusts of wind surround the arena since Sherria is revealed to be a Sky God Slayer . Wendy employs an advanced Sky Dragon Slayer attack much to Poluchka's astonishment, causing Sherria to fall on the ground . Wendy is about to be announced as the winner of the bout when Sherria suddenly stands up with her wounds fully healed .

However, it seems that Wendy enhances Cheria's physical strength, causing the attack to gain much force and thus missing Wendy . The two competitors then engage in a hand - to - hand combat, but due to the time limit and neither side is giving up, their battle resulted in a draw, giving both teams with 5 points . Meanwhile, Jellal manages to track the sinister aura among the crowd in the form of a mysterious, hooded person . Jellal is about to confront the aura source, but he is abruptly cornered by Doranbolt, Lahar, and other Rune Knights . Doranbalt then interrogates Jellal, and as his cover was blown, the Rune Knights, as well as Kagura and Milliana glancing nearby, are startled to see the true identity of Mystogan .

After the other participants fall out of the aquatic sphere, a five - minute battle between Lucy and Minerva ensues . However, Minerva quickly attacks Lucy, and she manages to steal the keys of the Celestial Spirit mage . Regardless of this, Lucy refuses to surrender . After hearing Lucy's intentions, Minerva stops from attacking up to the extent that the five - minute mark was reached .

As the battle commences, Sting and Rogue were about to take the initiative when they were suddenly attacked by Natsu and Gajeel . The four mages then exchange attacks; however, the audience watches in shock as the Fairy Tail Dragon Slayers overpower the Saber Tooth Dragon Slayers .

As the three mages fight, the tide turns in favor of Sting as he unleashes a powerful attack on Natsu and Gajeel, resulting in the collapse of the arena floor, and after a hand - to - hand combat underground, Sting was seemingly the victor of the match . However, the Fairy Tail duo stands up, comments on Sting's strength, and argues about his position while attacking, thereby causing Natsu to drag Gajeel on a mining cart and send it away .
