As the Fairy Tail wizards caught the sight of Tenrou Island. Tenrou Island stood alone in the sea without any other islands being visible in the surrounding areas. The island itself was a mildly small, rocky and steep island covered in lush vegetation, both bright yellow and green in color. One side of the island showed to be particularly rocky, possessing large formations jutting outwards from the ground, one near the shore, protruding above the sea, and the other near the center of the island, overlooking it. Topping such a second rocky formation stood the most distinctive element of the island, the Great Tenrou Tree. A gigantic tree with a gnarled, mildly curved trunk, ending in a number of large branches. Haruto was rather impressed by the sight of the island, who knew a Guild like Fairy Tail could have an island like this with all the collateral damages their mages did on every job request, it was a wonder how they managed to pay off all the damage.
The boat then began to slow as Runes appeared surrounding the ship not allowing anyone to leave. Everyone looked around in confusion until the sound of Makarov clearing his throat was heard and they directed their attention to the Master of their Guild.
"As of now the x779 S class promotion trials begin!" Makarov announced loudly, "The ship has been layered with Runes to prevent anyone from getting off, but know this the trials have officially begun and the ones who get on the island first have first pick."
When the participants heard the last part, they began to look around for a way to get out, Haruto on the other hand studied the Runes in fascination. Two years in this new world and he was still fascinated by such simple things. Mirajane and Erza found their way out of the trap when they both used their magic and flew up into the skies and out of the barrier, Haruto simply eyed them as they flew towards the island. Cana had no better luck as her magic did not allow her to escape the Runes.
A few minutes later, they were docked and Haruto was running towards the island. His eyes were scanning the forest before him as he moved towards one of the routes. He took the route B as it was the closest one, deciding it was useless to sprint, he just walked casually down the route and waited for something to happen. Nothing seemed to happen at first, until he noticed the trees began to part as a massive quadrupedal reptilian creature with a large mouth full of sharp teeth walked towards him. Its body was covered in purple scales, and its eyes were light green. Haruto looked at it as more and more of these creatures began moving towards him and the next thing he knew he was surrounded.
Haruto smirked as he saw the monsters were about to make a move against him. It was going to be an enjoyable dance. Hopping into the air, Haruto brought down his fist against one of the closest reptilian creatures and slammed his fist against its head knocking it onto the ground with a loud thud. The other creatures charged forward as Haruto laughed and brought his Gunbai in front of him and he was covered in purple chakra and a barrier formed in front of him. The creatures rammed their heads against the barrier before them trying to destroy it to no avail. Releasing the barrier, Haruto swung his fan at the creatures and a powerful gust of wind pushed them back slightly as he jumped into the air and slammed his Gunbai at one of the reptilian creatures legs. The leg weakened and it allowed Haruto the chance to knock the creature off balance and went towards the others. His Gunbai was attached to a chain, so it was able to be used at a variety of ranges. One of them stood on its hind legs and lifted its front two feet and tried to crush him, but Haruto tossed his Gunbai and the fan struck the creature in the stomach and knocked it onto the ground. Spinning in a half circle, he directed his fan towards a charging creature and the Gunbai hit the creature in the head, sending it crashing into the trees.
Looking at the downed creatures, he placed the Gunbai back on his back and walked down the trail once more. One of the creatures began standing up as it stared at the retreating form of the redhead Uchiha.

Mirajane and Erza arrived at the same time as they both caught sight of the other, they glared and began shoving the other away trying to reach the destination before the other. They kept at it until a voice broke and caught them by surprise.
"Oh, you have arrived." Haruto said as he noticed the two fighting once more.
"Haru—Behind you!" Erza shouted the last part as she readied her blade but Haruto held up his hand and stopped her.
Haruto was sitting down with his legs crossed and his Gunbai was by his side. Nothing strange about that, but what was strange and a bit frightening, was a ground of massive scaled reptilian creatures surrounding him. Haruto saw what they were looking at and realization dawned on him as he motioned towards the creatures that laid around him.
"Mirajane, Erza, you must be wondering about these fellows are you not?" Haruto asked as he gave them a look.
"Yeah, what's with the lizards, carrot-top." Mirajane asked as she gave the young Uchiha an odd look.
"I defeated them in battle and they have made me their leader." Haruto answered simply with a blank look on his face as the creatures around him gave a roar in acknowledgement.
The two mages just stared at the redhead in utter shock and disbelief. It was pretty hard to swallow, a group of massive reptiles just made one of the competitors for S class rank their leader. The two continued to gape at the redhead in disbelief until Cana joined up with the rest and snapped everyone out of their shock.
"Ah, good, all of you made it." Makarov's voice caught their attention, all four of them including the massive reptiles turned towards the area where the sound resonated form, "Haruto-kun seems like some of the Rollidilos have taken a liking to you."
Haruto simply nodded as he waited for the elderly master to continue.
"As I was saying, it is good you all made it, but now we must decide who stays for the second trial." Makarov said as he handed all four of them a paper with a number on it, "Those papers have numbers on them, numbers one and two will face off and three and four will. The winner heads onto the final trial."
Haruto looked at his number and saw a two and waited for the pairing to begin. Cana had gotten a three and Erza a four, the two females left to have their match. Haruto looked at Mirajane who looked at him with a smirk on her face. Haruto lifted his Gunbai off the ground and strapped it to his back and walked towards the ivory haired girl.
"Well Mirajane, you shall be the one I dance with." Haruto said as he dropped his number as he approached the girl.
"Bring it on carrot-top." Mirajane replied as she began channeling her magic around her.
