Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

Sixth seat: Joseph Paula

It's truly a cause for celebration that two more spots have been added to this list!

"Selecting two 'Ten Wizards of the Ages' at once?"

When Crawford finished speaking, all the judges present were stunned. They had never imagined that this matter could be resolved in this way.

"Hehe, since we can select two 'Ten Wizards of the Highest Ages' at once, I think we should go all out and select three 'Ten Wizards of the Highest Ages' in one go, including Jorah Regis in the selection and awarding him the title of 'Ten Wizards of the Highest Ages'."

Ogg sneered. He had originally been mocking Crawford in a sarcastic tone, implying that the other was acting on a whim.

"also."

However, after careful consideration, Crawford found that Ogg's suggestion was entirely feasible.

Perhaps to cover up his own guilty conscience, Crawford directly agreed to Og's proposal to include the 'Ten', who had no background or money.

After all, the reason why Igor and Zekerein were able to serve as the 'Ten Wizards' was not only because of their outstanding strength and achievements, but also because one had a powerful background and the other had enormous wealth.

"what?"

Ogg was stunned; he hadn't expected that Crawford would take his casual remark to heart.

That's settled.

Crawford, without giving the council a chance to question him, spoke with the absolute authority of the council chairman.

And so it is.

The list of the 'Ten Wizards' has been supplemented as follows.

The top six remained unchanged, and three more mages were added to the list. They are:

Seventh seat: Igor

Eighth seat: Zikrein

Ninth seat: Haura Regis

"Since we can select three 'Warriors of the Ten' at once, why not go all out? I think Gildarts could also be one of the 'Warriors of the Ten'..."

Yajima is doing everything he can to secure benefits for Fairy Tail.

"Don't think about it."

Unfortunately, before Ajax could even speak, all the judges present said in unison, "To hell with that damn mage Gildarts!"

"Although the process was tortuous, we have achieved our goal."

Zikrein and Urudia exchanged a glance. They only sought the title of 'Holy Ten'. They didn't care whether others could obtain the title or not, so they had now achieved their goal.

And so it is.

The next day.

When Igor arrived at the Magic Council ERA, before he could even claim his payment from the staff, he was surrounded by dozens of them.

Just as Igor was about to say something, the council staff said in unison, "Congratulations, Lord Igor, on becoming a member of the 'Ten Holy Ones'."

"what?"

Igor was stunned.

Chapter 67: The Ingenious Use of the 'Ten Wizards' Identity and Medals~

"who?"

"I?"

"I've been named one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints'?"

As Igor watched the group of ERA staff members in front of him, banging drums and offering congratulations, presenting him with a golden trench coat representing the 'Ten Wizards' and a cross medallion, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He pointed to his face and asked the staff members in front of him for confirmation.

After all, in Igor's view, he hadn't done anything.

Well, apart from running up the Halberd Mountains and chasing Balkans to kill them, he really didn't do anything else.

"Yes, it is indeed His Majesty Igor."

Upon hearing this, the head member of the council smiled and bowed slightly to Igor, explaining, "Just yesterday afternoon, our 'ERA Magic Council' held its annual 'Ten Wizards Selection Conference'!"

"After discussions between Speaker Crawford and the members of the council, and after careful consideration, it was finally decided to bestow upon you the title of 'One of the Ten Wizard Saints'."

"I hope that after receiving the title of 'Ten Wizards of the Highest Ages,' you will not forget your original aspirations and will continue to lead the development of the magical world of Ishgard."

The council staff spoke politely and formally, and with smiles on their faces, they handed Igor the trench coat and medals that represented his status as one of the 'Ten Wizards'.

"Then we'll take our leave now."

After finishing speaking, the staff member bowed deeply to Igor and walked out of the council chamber.

Yes, the smiles on the faces of the Magic Council staff who were responsible for crowning the 'Ten Wizards' were not fake; they were genuinely happy and excited to meet Igor at the Council's gates.

After all, according to the Council's original plan, they needed to send Igor's coat and medal to the Fairy Tail guild, which was thousands of miles away, but now that process has been waived.

Furthermore, His Majesty Zekrein, who was also crowned as one of the 'Ten Wizards' at this conference, is himself a councilor of their 'ERA Magic Council', so there is no need for them to specially escort his coat and medals.

Therefore, all that remains for them now is to go to the Sorcerer's Guild 'Boa's Scales' and crown Jorah Regis with the title of 'Holy Ten'.

As an employee, the three tasks that used to be done have been reduced to one, but the salary and working hours remain the same. Anyone would smile from the bottom of their heart, right?

In the Senate lobby.

Wearing a gold trench coat representing the 'Ten Wizards', Igor looked at himself in the mirror again and again, and smiled with satisfaction: "As expected of me, I look good in anything."

"However, this trench coat representing the 'Ten Wizard Saints' is too conspicuous. I should change back into my old clothes."

With that thought in mind, Igor decided to change out of his trench coat.

"Om."

However, just as Igor was about to make a move, his golden trench coat immediately lit up with a white light and was absorbed into the 'Ten Holy Orders' in a flash of golden light.

"What is this?"

Igor paused for a moment, then immediately channeled his magic into the 'Ten Holy Trinity' medal that the councilor had given him, and a message instantly entered his brain.

"I see. This 'Ten Holy Trinity' medal issued by the councilor is not only beautiful but also very practical. It actually comes with space magic and dress-up magic. It contains a storage space of about one hundred cubic meters, and as long as you wear this 'Ten Holy Trinity' medal, you can change into the golden trench coat that represents your 'Ten Holy Trinity' identity at any time."

After studying it for about five minutes, Igor finally figured out the wonderful use of the 'Ten Holy' Medal. From now on, when he hunts magical beasts, he will no longer need to put the teeth and ears of these magical beasts in his backpack and carry them to the council to exchange for rewards.

"Anyway, let's go and exchange the payment first."

After thinking for a moment, Igor picked up the backpack filled with the teeth and ears of the magical beast Balkan and headed towards the council hall.

"Your Majesty Igor~"

"Your Highness Ige~"

"Lord Igo~"

When Igor entered the council hall, all council staff who came into contact with him immediately stopped in their tracks, bowed deeply to greet him, and then left.

This is the status and prestige of the 'Ten Wizard Saints'.

In this world where individual power is extremely strong, the strong are respected wherever they go, and organizations and regimes that do not respect the strong have long since collapsed.

"Ah."

Igor nodded to each of the staff members who saluted him, and finally walked to the front, handing over the package full of magical beast Balkan teeth and ears, and said softly, "Hello, I'm here to settle my quest payment."

"Okay, I'll convert it all into a reward for you right away."

Having already experienced exchanging rewards for Igor for the first time, these staff members of the 'ERA Magic Council' were mentally prepared to be shocked by the massive number of magical beast teeth inside the package after opening it.

Even so, when the staff opened Igor's package, revealing not only the teeth and ears of ordinary Balgan monsters, but also the four specimen heads of the four Balgan monster kings, all the staff present still showed expressions of shock.

"The size of this head is absolutely certain; these four Balkans have already reached the standard of 'S-class' magical beasts..."

The staff member looked horrified.

The Magic Council's ERA only learned about the existence of four 'S-class' Balgan Beast Kings in the Harbe Mountains a little over a month ago.

For this reason, the Council issued an 'S-rank' mission to hunt down the Balkan Beast Kings. Each Beast King is worth five million J, which is fifty times the value of an ordinary Balkan Beast.

As it turned out, not long after this 'S-class' mission was announced, Igor retrieved the heads of the four beast kings, which was quite frightening.

After all, given past experience, it was common for no one to be able to complete an 'S-class' extermination mission issued by the Council within one or two years.

At the same time, if no one can complete the task within five years, the council will automatically raise the difficulty of the task to 'SS' level.

If no one can complete the task within ten years, the council will raise the difficulty level to the 'ten-year' task level.

"Your Majesty Igor, I'm so sorry, please wait a moment..."

"Whether these four Balkan monster heads are indeed the heads of the four Balkan kings who wreak havoc in the Harbe Mountains remains to be verified over time."

“But I can first exchange the teeth and ears of other Balkans for your reward.”

The staff member bowed deeply to Igor to express his apology.

"Thank you for your help."

Igor nodded.

Chapter 68 What does it mean that Hades, the number one figure in the dark magic world, is the second-generation guild master of Fairy Tail?

"After our accounting, you have killed a total of 548 Balkan monsters, and your pre-tax reward is 54.8 million J."

"At the same time, according to the tax exemption agreement of the 'Ten Wizards of the Ages,' the actual remuneration is 54.8 million J. Please accept it."

As the council staff member spoke, he presented the bank card containing the enormous sum of 54.8 million J to Igor with both hands.

"what?"

Igor stared at the bank card handed to him by the council staff, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. After a long pause, he asked, "What did you say? Tax-free?"

"Yes, anyone who holds the title of 'Ten Wizards of the Ages' has an annual tax exemption of 100 million J. Your income this year is still within the tax exemption limit."

The council staff member answered with a smile.

Because Igor's previous work fees were taxed at the highest rate, he still has a tax exemption of 100 million after receiving the title of "Holy Ten".

"awesome."

With a smile, Igor pocketed the exclusive bank card issued by the Magic Council ERA for the Ten Wizard Saints.

Up to this point, Igor had not yet discovered any downsides to possessing the title of 'Ten Wizards of the Ages'; all he could see were the advantages.

"At the same time, there is something very important that I must remind you of. Because the power of the 'Ten Wizard Saints' is too great, for the sake of the peaceful development of the magical world of Ishgard, the holders of the title of 'Ten Wizard Saints' must not engage in private battles without the knowledge of the Council."

The council staff member seemed to have thought of something and reminded Igor with a smile.

"Oh?"

"In other words, once we report to the Magic Council ERA, the Ten Wizard Saints can start fighting among themselves?"

Igor discovered a loophole in what the council staff had said.

"Uh."

"Yes."

The council staff member, sweating profusely, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Of course, if you want to apply to a higher-ranked player for the 'Holy Ten' ranking battle, the council will generally process it promptly, but this requires consultation with the higher-ranked player and their consent."

"If the other party keeps disagreeing, and I get annoyed with them and beat them up, how will the council handle that?"

Igor asked with a smile.

“This, this…”

The council staff member looked apprehensive, and under Igor's questioning, her eyes quickly welled up with tears; she was almost brought to tears by Igor's questions.

How dare she, a mere front-of-house staff member, presume to discuss figures like the 'Ten Wizard Saints'?!

In fact, gambling among the 'Ten Wizards' is not uncommon. Back then, when Makarov was drunk, he beat up Joseph Pora, a newly promoted 'Ten Wizard', at a meeting of the Mage Guild presidents in the 'Fiore' Kingdom. The Magic Council only gave Makarov a verbal reprimand.

What else can they do?

It's impossible to actually punish the 'Ten Wizards'.

The reason why the 'Ten Saints' can become the 'Ten Saints' is not only because of their high moral character, but also because of their strong strength.

Apart from Gildarts, who is an outlier, the 'Ten Wizard Saints' represent the highest combat power of the light magic world on the continent of Ishgard.
