Chapter 706 Everyone wants to recruit Seiya into their own team?

Seiya and his companions were on their way back to Magnolia Town aboard the pirate ship Erza had summoned through her "persuasive virtue."

In the Kingdom of Fiore, the Magic Council underwent a major reshuffle due to the "Tower of Paradise" incident.

As a special central body overseeing and judging the Magic Guild, the Magic Council holds a transcendent position throughout the entire continent.

Yet, this central organization, with its lofty position and immense power, not only allowed a member of that dark guild to infiltrate it but also made him one of the council members. This goes beyond mere dereliction of duty.

"Magical Spirit Power," a strategic weapon of the Magic Council, even possesses the power to destroy a country, yet it was almost exploited by criminals.

As a councilor responsible for overseeing and judging other magic guilds, the fact that he completely lacks judgment and is led astray by others proves the incompetence of the Magic Council today.

Therefore, the royal family of Fiore Kingdom discussed with neighboring countries and decided to abolish the current Magic Council and re-establish a new regulatory body.

It turns out that the Magic Council Chairman and council members will all be dismissed and interrogated.

They can only be released after it is confirmed that they are not dangerous individuals like Zirekiin and Urutia, and then it will be decided whether they are still suitable to hold important positions in the Freshman Council.

As the main characters in this "Tower of Paradise" incident, "Fairy Tail" was not only not punished for attacking the Magic Council, but also received a commendation from the Kingdom of Fiore for their decisive judgment and performance in the Tower of Paradise.

Jellal is wanted for infiltrating the Magic Council and plotting to use "magical spirit power" to resurrect Zeref, the progenitor of dark magic. He has now been implicated and is wanted by the authorities.

Although Erza later told Gran Doma, the chairman of the Freshman Council, that Jellal was controlled by Ultear of the dark guild "Devil Heart," her statement could not be accepted due to insufficient evidence.

Where there are villains, there are also heroes. This time, Seiya and his companions not only thwarted Jellal's plot but also blocked the whereabouts of the "Magical Spirit Power," saving countless lives.

Therefore, Natsu and the others, including Seiya, all went to Crocus, the flower capital of the Fio Kingdom, to receive royal honors.

King Doma E. Fiore of the Kingdom of Fiore was a short, middle-aged man who was unremarkable in both appearance and talent.

However, Arcadios, the leader of the Sakura Knights, and Princess Emerald are more famous in the Kingdom of Fiore.

At the commendation ceremony, Natsu and the others received some monetary rewards, but each of them was also given a mithril medal that didn't seem to be worth much.

Seiya, as the number one contributor, received a dragon-shaped medal, which was not only a precious magical metal carving, but also granted him the power to mobilize a knight squad within the Kingdom of Fiore.

Although Dorma E. Fiore wasn't very tall, he was quite generous with his rewards.

In addition to medals and monetary rewards, the king even allowed Seiya to make one reasonable request.

Seiya ultimately used this request to persuade the King of the Kingdom of Fiore to intervene and pardon the four, including Miliana, who were also wanted.

Regardless of whether the mastermind, Gerald, was under control, the crimes he committed are beyond the reach of even the King of Fiore.

However, as accomplices who were manipulated, Miliana and the other three were eventually pardoned.

Lucy and the others were very happy after receiving the commendation, because since she joined the Fairy Tail guild, she had taken on many requests with Natsu and the others, and this was the first time she had earned money from a job.

She polished the mithril medal over and over again, feeling that she had finally made something of herself and would no longer be a novice mage.

And after this incident, Lucy's desire to recruit Seiya into their team has become even stronger. To be honest, since Erza joined, Lucy's team can be considered the strongest team in "Fairy Tail".

Despite the team's strength, Lucy found that every time they completed a mission, the process was fraught with danger, and the rewards they received at the end were barely enough to pay their rent.

Natsu and Gray are both known for their sabotage, and Erza isn't much better off.

Each time they settle their payment, they either have very little left after compensating for the damage caused, or they encounter situations where the client is the villain, leaving them exhausted but without earning a single penny.

Previously, Lucy wanted to recruit Seiya, but only because she wanted to get free access to the dragon and save as much money as possible.

But after this incident, Lucy realized that Seiya was the real treasure of a teammate.

He is capable, knowledgeable, intelligent, and lucky.

They were both causing damage, but in the past they always lost money and received complaints. But this time, with Seiya joining in, they were not only not scolded, but were also awarded medals and even made a lot of money.

Who could resist a teammate who provides a strong sense of security and is also very profitable?
However, Lucy didn't know that she wasn't the only one holding the same thoughts at that moment.

After the "Tower of Paradise" incident, Jubilee felt a strong sense of crisis.

After joining Fairy Tail, she has always been alone, and she heard that although Seiya and Natsu have a good relationship, he has always been working alone.

If she musters up her courage and expresses her desire to team up with Lord Seiya, and Lord Seiya agrees, wouldn't they have even more opportunities to spend time together in the future?
"Lord Seiya, I've heard you've always been alone..."

"Seiya, would you like to come with us from now on...?"

Zhu Biji and Lucy, who had spoken at the same time, looked at each other halfway through their sentences.

In a brief exchange of glances, the two "plastic best friends" understood each other's intentions and communicated quickly by blinking.

[Lucy, you little sly cat, you've finally fallen for Lord Seiya too!]

【No, no, no, it has nothing to do with whether I like him or not. Seiya is capable and talented, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting him to join our team.】

"You already have people as strong as Natsu, Gray, and Erza in your team, and you still want to compete with me for Lord Seiya?"

Furthermore, Erza is already in your party. If you add Seiya-sama to the team as well, will I still have a chance in the future?

Juvia, you have no idea how hard my life is!
This is the first time I've earned this much money since becoming a Fairy Tail mage! Although my sisters really want to support you, Seiya, I'm determined to win this time!

Lucy was heartbroken. Her previous job was fraught with danger. Not only did she not earn a penny, but Natsu and his gang treated her house as their base year-round, and even often broke in while she was taking a shower or sleeping.

That's all fine, but more importantly, if things continue like this, she's afraid she won't even be able to afford to rent her own tiny apartment anymore.

So to avoid sleeping on the streets in the future, she had to cling to Seiya's coattails tightly, even if it meant using seduction, Lucy Heartfilia was willing to do it!
