Chapter 688 Will that child lead Fairy Tail to its peak?
The Ten Wizard Saints are ten of the most powerful mages on the continent, as determined by the council members. This title can only be obtained by those who are strong and have a good reputation.

Unlike Seiya's previous "candidates," the true Ten Wizard Saints will be awarded corresponding medals and announced throughout the continent, which is almost one of the highest honors for all mages.

"Seiya has become one of the Ten Wizard Saints, just like the president?"

"Doesn't that mean Fairy Tail will now have two Wizarding Wizards on its side? The title of the number one guild in the Fiore Kingdom will definitely be well-deserved!"

Hearing Natsu and the others cheer, some members of the council smiled at them, but others were displeased and frowned deeply.

Fairy Tail has always been restless, and complaints about it have been a regular occurrence.

Now that the "Phantom Lords" have been forcibly disbanded and the "Blade Dragon" has become the new Ten Wizard Saints, won't they become even more lawless in the future?

Unfortunately, the Magic Council usually uses a voting system when making decisions, and more council members support Seiya becoming one of the new Ten Wizard Saints.

So even though Og and Mikaela were unhappy about it, Seiya ultimately won by a majority of votes and became the new Ten Wizard Saints.

"This is the medal symbolizing one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints,' along with information about you. The council will inform the other mage guilds. Congratulations on soon becoming a renowned mage on the continent."

When Zekrein presented Seiya with the medals belonging to the "Ten Wizard Saints," the latter remained completely bewildered.

After a moment of stunned silence, Seiya suddenly spoke, saying something that nearly made everyone present drop their jaws in shock.

"Um... you haven't asked me what I think yet, have you? Is it possible to refuse the title of 'Ten Wizard Saints'?"

Not to mention Zirekine, who was standing in front of Seiya with the medals of the Ten Wizard Saints, the rest of the Magic Council, and even the members of the Fairy Tail guild, were completely stunned when they heard Seiya ask the question.

Can one refuse the title of "Ten Wizard Saints"? I think so, right?
However, under normal circumstances, no one would choose to refuse such an honor, after all, it is the symbol of the strongest mage on the continent.

After a brief moment of surprise, Zekrein gave an awkward, wry smile and said, "I wonder why Mr. Seiya would consider refusing the title of 'Ten Wizard Saints'?"

Previously, Qireki and Ultear had intended to do Seiya a favor by giving him a handout, so that Seiya would owe them a favor and trust them even more.

But now it seems that the highest honor, which other mages are so eager for, doesn't hold much allure for this maverick man in front of him.

"The so-called 'Ten Wizards' are indeed the highest honor for wizards, but having this title has almost no practical use other than being respected by others, right?"

Not to mention enjoying any special privileges, if any major crisis occurs on the mainland, the "Ten Wizard Saints," as the top wizards, have the responsibility and obligation to step in and resolve the trouble.

After all, when the sky falls, tall people are needed to hold it up, and the "Ten Wizard Saints" are clearly such tall people.

"As for fame and honor, it's not good to be too famous for these things, is it?"

As the saying goes, "People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat." As the leader of a legitimate guild, it's easy for him to be targeted by members of dark guilds, right?

So this job offers no salary, no special privileges, and most importantly, I'm already very busy, so…”

Before Seiya could finish speaking, Mira, standing behind him, gave him a sharp rap on the head with a smile. Initially, the council members even thought Seiya's analysis seemed plausible, and Makarov himself wondered if he had been a "Ten Wizard Saints" for so long without any real understanding.

But when they heard the second half of Seiya's sentence, Mira and Erza, who were familiar with Seiya, understood.

The so-called "the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow" is just an excuse Seiya made up.

The reason he refused the title of "Ten Wizard Saints" was simply because he felt that having a job would be too troublesome, so he wanted to slack off.

When Seiya emerged from the Magic Council, he now sported a mithril medal bearing the insignia of one of the Ten Wizard Saints.

The other Fairy Tail members who were waiting outside for the results cheered when they heard that Seiya had also become one of the "Ten Wizard Saints".

"A banquet! We absolutely have to have a banquet to celebrate today!"
This time, not only did we defeat the "Phantom Lord," but Seiya even became one of the Ten Wizard Saints!

"Seizai, you've been hiding your strength well. I haven't seen you make a move in years. I never imagined you'd become this powerful."

"You're not stronger than the Chairman and Gildarts now, are you?"

"Yeah, what was that group healing spell all about? And what kind of magic was that golden dragon...?"

As a major contributor to this guild war, Seiya was surrounded by members of the Fairy Tail guild as soon as he stepped out of the council meeting.

Many people, upon hearing that Seiya had become one of the Ten Wizard Saints, looked at the medal on his chest and exclaimed in admiration.

"They really are a bunch of guys who can't stay quiet no matter what."

On the rooftop of the Magic Council, several council members saw the Fairy Tail members causing a ruckus outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Michael, who already disliked Fairy Tail, couldn't help but complain.

"I actually have a good impression of them. The Mage Guild needs this kind of energetic and vibrant new generation."

Moreover, judging from his performance at the previous meeting, "Blade Dragon" is not the kind of mage who only knows how to fool around.

If Makarov retires in the future, with that kid's talent, he should be able to take "Fairy Tail" to new heights, right?

The person who spoke was Belluno, another female member of the Magic Council besides Ultear.

Even the hot-tempered Michael and the dislike-for-Fairy Tail Og did not refute Bellno's words, which were spoken by the gentle and kind former chairman.

Because they had noticed in the previous meeting that Seiya was different from the other Fairy Tail members.

He is not just the kind of person who acts recklessly, but also a young mage with considerable skill and intelligence.

In the past, when Fairy Tail received complaints, only Yajima and Bellno would speak up for them. But at this meeting, Seiya, a young man, silenced them all, something that had never happened before in Fairy Tail.
