Chapter 258: Ch 258 : Merge
After saying this, Noel turned around, carrying the unconscious Lucy on his back, and prepared to leave.
"Uh... Contestant Noel..." The pumpkin-headed referee awkwardly scratched his hat, hesitating before calling out.
"...I know." Noel stopped in his tracks but didn’t turn around, cutting off whatever the referee wanted to say.
"According to Rule 172 of the Grand Magic Games, if a non-participating contestant interferes in a match, they will be penalized based on the severity of their actions. Given my level of interference, the appropriate punishment would be disqualification from further participation, correct?"
"Ha... hahaha... As long as you’re aware." Hearing Noel’s words, the referee awkwardly laughed a few times and then simply let him leave.
"Lucy!"
"Are you alright? Hang in there!"
"Let me give her some emergency treatment first."
At that moment, members of Fairy Tail’s A team rushed over to Noel, their faces filled with concern as they looked at Lucy’s battered body.
Wendy immediately activated her Sky Dragon Slayer Magic to help heal Lucy, and upon seeing this, Sherria from Lamia Scale also jumped down from the stands to assist.
"You bastard, what the hell were you trying to do?!" After confirming that Lucy was temporarily out of danger, Natsu turned to glare angrily at Minerva.
