[-] Head to the Domus Flau Arena
[-] Take a look around the Arena
Enter the arena to find your allies inside. Talk to them if you want then enter the door with the mission marker to see a cutscene where the other participants are introduced. After the scene, walk around the arena and talk to the various characters there if you want. To continue with the story, talk to Mystogan and Lyon (they have quest markers above their heads). After the cutscene, you’ll be back in the guild inn.
[-] Join in the afternoon tournament activities
Head to the arena and make your preparations. Lucy will be fighting alone so make sure that her Lacrima is properly set up. It will help if she has her unique lacrima equipped (Lacrima/Charm of the Celestial Spirits). You can also give her a Protection and Wizard Charm to increase her defense and damage output. Once ready, head inside the arena and talk to the guard to start the match.

During the Grand Magic games matches, your cheering allies will be able to provide support through HP recovery or stat buffs. These buffs are regularly given to you every other turn so it’s almost impossible to unintentionally lose this battle.
For the first phase, just fight her normally. Summon Leo and Aquarius are the ones that will deal extra damage against Flare though spamming Leo is recommended because of the considerably lesser MP cost to summon him. Keep doing this until you deplete Flare’s HP.
During the second phase, Flare will have an upper hand against you. Use Defend and keep your guard up to minimize all incoming damage until Natsu lends a hand from the sidelines. From hereon, you can go wild again and use Awakening if it’s available to you. Keep spamming Leo once again until Flare is defeated. After that, watch through the following cutscene and Lucy will permanently learn the same powerful magic she used earlier - Urano Metria. You’ll be back in the inn afterward and the episode will be complete.
