{Y/n}'s POV

"(Y/n), are you sure we shouldn't get a job?" Cynthia asks me for the fifth time. She really doesn't want to participate in this thing. 

"Yes Cynthia, we haven't participated in most of them. It's only fair we do it now." I tell her, but I'm sure she could hear my hesitant tone. She just sighs and walks to Happy, who was staring at her.

I look around and see Natsu, Gajeel, Gray and Erza arguing about something, causing me to laugh. I scan the crowd and my eyes land on Lucy and Cana. Cana finishes drinking a whole barrel of alcohol and throws it away into the unknown. They continue talking and I let my eyes wander around, landing on master Macarov. I feel a shiver go down my spine at what he had planned. I'm just terrified of the punishment game. Last years gave me nightmares, even without me participating.

"Everyone quiet down. Fairy Tail wizards know without the proper balance of Intelligence and physical endurance, they are doomed to failure. Over the next 24 hours you'll use those attributes against each other." Master says, grabbing the guild's attention immediately. 

"A real man never uses his brain." I hear Elfman say, and I role my eyes at his words. Typical for him. 

"Yeah. Physical strength is all that matters in a race like this." Gray says to Elfman, agreeing with what he says. I don't think he quite understood the buff white haired mage, but whatever. 

"The rules are very simple. At the starting line each of you will make your way to mount Igor. The summit's been peppered with heavy wyvern scales. You are to grab one and bring it back. Once it's across the finish line you have completed the race and proven your self a worthy member of fairy tail. Never forget, forfeiting is not an option for any of you. Fairy tail wizards pride themselves and are willing to go that extra mile. I have decided to put a restriction in place for this years event, after numerous complaints I have decided the use of flying magic is now forbidden." Master explains the game, and I shrug at the simplicity of it.

I look over at Cynthia only to see she was making the same face that Evergreen and Happy were making. I forgot she always uses her flying magic, so now what. I mean, she could just use her human form. 

"All other forms of magic are still permitted." Master adds to what he said. I hear a bunch of complaints and I laugh slightly. I have a secret for this race. It might not get me first but I sure wont be last. "And whoever is unfortunate enough to come in last, will face the most horrific punishment game I've ever demised." Master said with a face saying he will enjoy the punishment game. 

Everyone including me paled at the thought. Last years punishment still scars me to this day. I look around to see Erza requip into some very revealing clothing. I look away  and see Cynthia come towards me. She whispers something and a magic circle appears above her. Her body starts to glow and becomes human like. The light started to fade as I see  her in her human form(The pic above for reference). Her short (F/c) hair flew around her and she smiled at me. I rolled my eyes at her outfit; a short battle armor and fishnet dress with knee high boots and a cape. She just had to be extra, huh?

Small Timeskip

We all take our place on the starting line by orders of our guild master. I start to feel a sinking feeling of regret, but shake it off. It's too late now to be having regrets. I stand beside Lucy and Cynthia. 

"Watch my start Levy, it's gonna blow your mind." I overhear Jet tell Levy, clearly trying to impress her. 

"I can't promise anything." Levy tells him honestly, and I bite my tongue to avoid laughing at her words. 

"Oh come on, he just wants to show off for you." Lucy tells Levy, thinking her words were for another reason. Levy looks at the blond girl and smiles shyly. 

"Oh I'm not playing hard to get or anything like that. It's next to impossible to watch him when he goes all out." Levy tells the girl, who has a look of confusion. I smile softly to myself her words and get ready for the race to start. 

"Ready" Master says into the mic holding his hand in the air. 

"Go!"

I make a spiral out of water and shoot up with it, avoiding the mess that occurs from below. Jet goes on his way knocking everyone down. I get down and make a tall but thin wave to carry me. Jet was still far ahead from me, but that didn't really matter. I didn't care about first place. 

I look behind me to see Wendy wishing Lucy and Levy good luck. They were dead last... I feel bad for them. 

I notice Natsu catching up to me pretty quickly. I speed up my tsunami also avoiding every trap possible. I look down to see the floor made of ice so I speed up to avoid being frozen. I see Erza avoid Freed's trap and trap him with swords. I wave at him as I go past him, and his gaze in a pleading one. I shrug and continue the race.

An other Timeskip

I was with the others grabbing a wyvern scale. I start to breath heavily from exhaustion before creating a small wave to travel on. Before I could take off Cynthia turns into her exceed form and hops on my shoulder, struggling to carry the wyvern scale.

I continue my way for the race, noticing Natsu, Erza, Gray and Gajeel in front of me. I couldn't help but hear Cynthia gasp, causing me to turn my head. I look behind me to see a cloud of smoke.

"(Y/n), is that?!" Cynthia asks me in disbelief, and my eyes widen in realization. Jet was behind us. The four of them in front of me; and I guess myself, were competing for first. I decided that this was not my race to get into a fight and I kept my distance from the group.

Jet flew past me and the group in front of me started to fight, I just let out a sigh dissipated the wave. My magic had depleted enough. I'l just run the rest of the way.

"(Y/n)!" I heard a familiar voice ring, and I glanced behind me. No way!

"Hey Happy, Carla, Wendy. You guy's are ahead of most people" I tell them, slowing down to run beside them. I couldn't help but notice the group of people fall ahead of me. Why were they just sitting there and arguing. 

"Thanks to Wendy's magic" Carla said, clearly tired from the race. Wendy sweat dropped at the words and I just laughed. I noticed people catching up to us and I ushered the girls ahead of me, Happy already having past me. That blue exceed was determined, so I wouldn't take first from him.

I cross the finish line with Cynthia on my head, with Carla in Wendy's arms crossing ahead of me. Wendy and Carla got second and third. I watched as they got their picture taken and felt the ground shake again. I looked at the race only to see the 5 others getting crushed by everyone else as they crossed. I laugh loudly at them. Once the smoke cleared and everyone relaxed, I noticed Erza beside me and the 4 boys on the ground. I immidiately felt bad for the group for what punishment one of them would have to do...

All of them... They grabbed onto Jet and tied for last... They all have to participate in the punishment game...

Master explains the punishment game and me along with multiple others burst out laughing. All the boys stand there embarrassed. I decided this was another perfect opertunity for teasing them to I smiled through my laughter.

"It's okay guys, if it makes you feel better I'll buy a copy." I tell them with a teasing grin, winking at the end. This in turn just made them blush more from embarassment. They all run away and I stand there laughing. 

When Happy finds out he does not get a prize he gets really moody. I just laugh and continue to head to the guild. Everyone will probably crash to rest from the pure exhaustion the race causes.
