Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

Makarov withdrew his magic after knocking Joseph unconscious.

Yes, without a doubt, given the overwhelming combat power that Makarov displayed against the 'Ten Wizards' level of power, he has successfully entered the 'non-human realm' and become a genuine 'King' level mage.

At the same time.

'Magic Council ERA'.

"what?"

"You're saying that Makarov D'Lea, one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints,' and Joseph Bora, also one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints,' got into a fight outside the Royal Hospital of the Kingdom of Fiore?!"

Upon hearing this, Crawford, the chairman of the Magic Council's ERA, frowned and his expression showed a hint of anger. He muttered, "Your Makarov is already in your eighties or nineties. How can you still be as irritable as when you were young?"

"This is outrageous!"

"I think this is a good idea. Let Makarov immediately write a self-criticism of about 10,000 words and personally deliver it to the council. He should read it aloud in front of us members and reflect on his actions."

Yes, Crawford, as the council president, still adopts an attitude of raising his hand high and then letting it go easily when dealing with matters related to the 'Ten Wizards'.

"As ordered."

As soon as Crawford finished speaking, staff from the Magic Council's ERA were ready to issue the council chairman's order, summoning Makarov, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, to the council to read a report.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Joseph Paula would also have to come to the council to read his report, but wasn't Joseph knocked unconscious by Makarov?

Crawford let the matter drop, sparing Joseph Paula from punishment, thus saving face for the 'Ten Wizards'.

Well, the winners come to the council to give a review, and the losers go to the hospital to recover. That way, everyone has something to do.

"report."

Just as this council member was about to go outside to give orders under Crawford's command, another staff member rushed into Crawford's office in a panic.

"What is it?"

Crawford frowned and asked with displeasure.

"Reporting to Speaker Crawford."

"A guest has come to visit you."

The council member said in a flustered manner.

"Calm down!"

“You represent the face of our Magic Council ERA. No matter who comes, you must remain neither humble nor arrogant.”

Crawford was educating his subordinates.

"This……"

The council member who came to report was taken aback, thinking to himself, "It has to be Councilor Crawford, he's truly impartial."

"Click~"

Before the council staff member could think further, Crawford's office door was pushed open once again.

Who is it?

"Don't you know that you can't enter my office without my permission?"

Crawford was furious. He looked at the front door of his office, his expression showing displeasure.

Well, the staff of the council have been getting more and more inconsiderate lately. They're treating Crawford's office like a marketplace, just barging in whenever they want.

"Oh."

"I'm so sorry about that."

"I've been too busy and forgot to make an appointment."

Just as Crawford was complaining, the door to his office was slowly pushed open. An old man, over two meters tall, with skin like withered tree bark and a face like a dried broccoli, wearing a 'Ten Wizards of the Ages' trench coat and leaning on a cane, walked in as if no one else was there and greeted him, "Long time no see, little Crawford."

“How dare you! Didn’t you hear Lord Crawford say…”

Inside the office, the staff member who was originally going to relay Crawford's orders immediately showed displeasure when he saw someone trespassing into the Speaker's office.

"Shut up! Do you even know who this person is?"

Before the staff member could finish speaking, Crawford stopped him. He turned pale the moment he saw the person's face.

Chapter 117 What does it mean that Fairy Tail has five Heavenly King-level mages? (Part 1)

Crawford jumped up from his seat and sprang to the side of the withered old man, saying with a fawning smile, "Lord Warlord, what brings you here?!"

"hehe."

The old man merely chuckled and shook his head at Crawford's sycophantic behavior.

Yes, the visitor was none other than Warlord Shinken, one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints', one of the four founders of the 'Fairy Tail' guild, and one of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' of Ishgard.

"I've come here to inform you of something very important."

Warlord had a smile on his face, and his expression was calm.

"Please speak."

Crawford's expression revealed respect for Warlord; he dared not be disrespectful to a Celestial-level mage standing at the pinnacle of the 'Ishgard' continent.

Meanwhile, Crawford was curious about the important matter that Warlord had mentioned. For a 'King' level powerhouse to speak of something so important and come in person to tell him, it must be treated with utmost care.

"Crawford, first of all, I have some good news for you."

"From today onwards, our continent of Ishgar will no longer have four Heavenly Kings, but will instead have five Heavenly Kings."

Warlord smiled, a hint of pride in his expression, and spoke the truth.

"You mean someone has gained your approval and entered your field?"

Crawford seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils twitched.

Yes, Crawford, as the chairman of the Magic Council ERA, does have some understanding of the realm of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar.

The Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar are so powerful that they are beyond human comprehension, practically non-human beings.

"Ah."

Volod nodded slightly, a hint of pride in his expression, and said with a smile, "That kid Makarov is quite promising. At the beginning of this year, he finally stepped into the 'Inhuman Realm' and became the fifth Heavenly King of the Light Magic World of our 'Ishgar' continent."

At this point, Warlord paused slightly, remained silent for a while, and then added, "For the past six months, Makarov has been patiently training by my side, stabilizing his magical power level, which is why I haven't had time to report this to the mainland! You don't mind, do you?"

"I don't mind! I don't mind at all!"

Crawford kept shaking his head; how could he possibly care about such a thing?!

However, to be honest, as early as when Makarov, the former guild master of Fairy Tail, handed over the guild he regarded as his life to Igor, the newly promoted "Ten Wizard Saints" of Fairy Tail, and disappeared without a trace, Crawford guessed that something must have happened to Makarov.

At the time, Crawford thought Makarov was too old and was preparing to retire from the magical world of Ishgard.

After all, before a mage enters the 'non-human realm', their lifespan is not much longer than that of an ordinary person.

When the 'centenary' arrives, we will still die.

Given Makarov's advanced age of nearly ninety, coupled with the numerous hidden injuries he had sustained in his youth that caused headaches for doctors across the continent, Crawford estimated that Makarov was also nearing the end of his life.

Meanwhile, Crawford believed that the cunning Joseph Pola had probably guessed this as well, which was why the other party attended the Fiore Kingdom's Mage Guild Presidents' Meeting, intending to test the strength of the Fairy Tail guild at the meeting.

Therefore, Crawford had long anticipated a battle between the 'Ten Wizards', but he thought it would be between Igor and Joseph. Who knew it would eventually turn into a battle between Makarov and Joseph.

To Crawford's surprise, Makarov had already broken through the 'non-human realm' and become the fifth Heavenly King on the continent of 'Ishgar'.

"In that case, Fairy Tail will have two Heavenly Kings."

Crawford muttered to himself, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He knew he needed to change his attitude toward the Fairy Tail guild.

"hehe."

"Alright, now that you've been informed that Little Horse has become the fifth Elite Four member of the continent of Ishgar, I'll take my leave."

Warlord smiled, and after informing Crawford about Makarov's breakthrough, he turned and left, leaving Crawford and the council staff looking at each other blankly.

"Lord Warlord, please take care."

Crawford escorted Warlord to the gates of the Magic Council ERA, watching Warlord's retreating figure until he disappeared from sight. Only then did he sigh and mutter to himself:

"Ugh."

"The fifth heavenly king on the continent of Ishgar."

"He is also the former president of the Fairy Tail guild."

"Things seem to be starting to get complicated."

Crawford's eyes held a mixture of helplessness and consideration.

Logically speaking, the emergence of a fifth Celestial King on the continent of Ishgar is a good thing, since only a Celestial King-level powerhouse can stand up to the covetous eyes of those powerhouses from other continents.

The problem is that this Heavenly King comes from Fairy Tail, the largest and most troublesome mage guild on the continent of Ishgard, belonging to their Magic Council ERA.

Then this matter might not necessarily be a good thing.

A 'King' level powerhouse who can easily destroy a city with a wave of his hand and crush a country within a few hours would be a disaster for the 'Fiore' Kingdom and even the 'Ishgar' continent if he were to cause trouble like the group of mages from the 'Fairy Tail' guild.

Crawford could only hope that Makarov, after becoming the fifth king of the continent of Ishgar, would retire like Mr. Warlord.

Otherwise?

Crawford didn't even dare to think about the consequences of otherwise.

However, Crawford was unaware that the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.

The Fairy Tail guild is no longer just comprised of two "Heavenly Kings," Makarov and Warrod Shinken.

The current guild master, Igor, is also a 'Ultraman' level mage, while Gildarts, the strongest mage in 'Fairy Tail,' and the second guild master, Precht, are 'Ultraman's among 'Ultraman's'.

If Crawford knew about this, he might go completely insane.

"Lord Crawford, shall we still deliver this letter?"

At this moment, the council staff member who was supposed to deliver the letter of apology to Makarov on behalf of Crawford looked at the council chairman beside him with some confusion and asked.

At this moment, the messenger was drenched in sweat, and his legs were swaying unconsciously. He never expected that the person he had casually scolded was actually one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar.

To these mortals, a 'Heavenly King' level expert is comparable to a 'god'.

Chapter 118 Fairy Tail Guild will destroy the Fiore Kingdom sooner or later! (Part 2)

Are you out of your mind?

Crawford was so annoyed by the question posed by the 'ERA' staff member of the Magic Council beside him that he laughed in exasperation.

Brother, you actually plan to invite a 'Heavenly King' to our 'Magic Council ERA' for a reprimand?!

Let's not even talk about whether you can actually invite them.

It would be best if they couldn't come.

If they actually manage to invite them, that would be a real problem.

Then from now on, you'll be the chairman of the 'Magic Council ERA'.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Crawford couldn't help but laugh out loud at this thought. He patted the soldier next to him on the shoulder, pointed at the messenger, and said with a smile, "Get this guy out of the council."

"As ordered."

The council soldiers, under Crawford's command, immediately threw the messenger out of the council.

"Times are changing."

"It seems that the era of the 'Fairy Tail' guild has truly arrived."

After Crawford finished doing all this, he returned to the office of the ERA (Enchanted Research Association) council president, sighed helplessly, and shook his head silently.

Then, in his capacity as the Chairman of the Magic Council ERA, Crawford issued a notice to all magical weekly magazines, newspapers, and major powers across the continent: "I am Crawford, the Chairman of the Magic Council ERA. I have an urgent notice to inform you that a fifth Heavenly King has appeared on the continent of Ishgar, and his name is Makarov D'Arya."

Following Crawford's report, all the major magical forces across the continent were in an uproar.

The capital of the Kingdom of 'Fiore'.

Krocas, known as the 'City of Flowers'.

Inside the Wat Tengah Palace.
