Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

"hehe."

Makarov smiled slightly, patted Igor's shoulder gently, and said, "Igor, it's all for a greater good! Don't forget, we will eventually fight the 'Alvarez' Empire."

"you……"

After giving Makarov a deep look, Igor silently suppressed his temper and smiled, "Okay."

Igor made up his mind that after Makarov resumed his position as the guild master of Fairy Tail a month later, he would definitely do something big for Makarov.

Well, the main reason is that Igor is worried that Old Marth hasn't written an apology letter to the Magic Council ERA in so long that he's forgotten how to write a self-criticism!

"Uh."

Makarov glanced at Igor's forced smile, his eye twitching slightly. He had a feeling that Igor was preparing some big news and was waiting to deal with him.

"Next..."

Ignoring the worried look on Makarov's face, Iger held a plan in his hand. Fairy Tail guild was now gradually becoming qualified in terms of combat strength.

Next, we need to solve the guild's biggest problem.

This refers to the issue of the 'Fairy Tail' guild's working capital.

Fairy Tail is running out of money.

Chapter 138 About Makarov's Unforgiving Mouth! (Part Two)

The next day.

July 7, X782.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Amidst a sky full of fireworks, the Fairy Tail guild's float spun past.

"Oh!"

"Fairy Tail's float this year is as extravagant as ever."

The residents of Magnolia City on the street kept clapping as they watched the Fairy Tail guild's festive float procession.

Although the residents of Magnolia City always complain about the Fairy Tail guild's mages disturbing the peace, if the Fairy Tail guild's float is missing during the Harvest Festival, it always feels like the New Year is missing something.

"Is this the annual Fairy Tail guild parade?"

The three "kings," Heiberion, Ulfheim, and Volod, stood beside Makarov, watching the parade of floats pass by, a thoughtful look flashing in their eyes.

"Uh."

"Exactly."

Makarov stood to the side and nodded slightly, asking respectfully, "What are your thoughts on our Fairy Tail guild's parade, Seniors Hyberion, Ulfheim, and Warlord?!"

"That's great!"

Hyberion smiled and nodded repeatedly: "This act of combining magic with ordinary people is really good."

"Indeed."

Ulfheim nodded in agreement: "While we mages are powerful, our strength should not supersede life and the common people!"

"That's right."

"We mages are no different from the residents here before we learn magic."

"We are all the same kind of beings, so why should we separate ourselves from them?"

Warlord paused slightly, thought for a while, and then continued, "Therefore, Prechter's plan was wrong, and life should not be desecrated."

"That's why we have to stop him."

Igor stood beside Hyberion, Ulfheim, and Warlord, and said with a smile.

Igor had read Precito's theory about the 'Great Magical Age'.

According to Prechter's theory, the concentration of "magical particles" active in the atmosphere of the world "Aislandon" has increased by about tenfold in just four hundred years.

However, the increase in magic power in the world of 'Aceland' was definitely not without reason; there must be a cause.

At the same time, after reviewing the history of the past four hundred years, Prechter also figured out what exactly happened four hundred years ago, so it was not difficult for him to guess the conclusion.

Ultimately, Precito concluded that it was the complete extinction of the dragon race, which was considered the darlings of magic, that replenished the magic in the atmosphere of the world of 'Aislandon'.

First, the extinction of the dragon race nourished the world's origin, which in turn replenished the magic power within the atmosphere.

Therefore, this is the era that Jelf mentioned, an era full of magic.

But in Precito's view, this magic was not enough; he needed more magic.

So Old Pu came up with a plan, which was to reenact the plan of 'Black Dragon King' Acnologia to destroy the dragons. Only this time, the target he wanted to destroy was not the dragons that were the protagonists of the era, but humans who can now be called the darlings of the era.

Precito believed that if all the billions of non-magicians in the world were wiped out, the magic power in the atmosphere could be further enhanced, thus ushering in the Great Magic Age.

In response, Igor described Precht as "simply insane."

This is why Igor asked the three "kings"—Wallord, Hyberion, and Ulfheim—to keep an eye on Prussia.

Precito was driven mad by his inability to accept the gap between himself and the 'Magic King' August. In order to completely defeat the 'Magic King', he would do anything to bridge the gap between himself and August.

"Alright, it's my turn to go on stage."

After hearing the praise from Heiberion, Ulfheim, and Volod, Makarov was overjoyed.

Meanwhile, as the floats were drawing to a close, Makarov could no longer contain his excitement. He leaped up from the ground and stood atop the float, proclaiming, "Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome mages from all over the world to join our Mage Guild, Fairy Tail!"

"There's more!"

“I know you’re all watching, so let me be clearer.”

"Ahem, Joseph Pola, you brat, listen up! Fairy Tail, the mage guild, is the strongest guild in the Fiore Kingdom, without a doubt."

Makarov didn't forget to call his defeated opponent, Joseph Paula, at this crucial moment.

"puff……"

Joseph Pola, who was hiding in the neighboring city and using remote communication magic to spy on Fairy Tail's annual Harvest Festival parade, nearly spat out blood after hearing Makarov's words. He roared, "Makarov, you old bastard, what exactly do you mean?!"

"Humph."

"Don't think that just because you, old man, have managed to enter the 'non-human realm' and become one of the Five Heavenly Kings of our 'Ishgar' continent by virtue of your accumulated cultivation over many years, I'm afraid of you."

"You just wait, I'll find a way to deal with you."

Joseph Paula was so angry at Makarov that he was blowing his beard and glaring at him, wishing he could rush to Magnolia City to settle the score with Makarov. But then he thought about the difference between him and Makarov and calmed down.

He knew that Makarov was deliberately provoking him, and that if he actually rushed over to seek revenge on Makarov, he would have truly fallen into a trap.

"Tolerate."

I must endure it.

So Joseph Paula suppressed his anger and waited patiently for Fairy Tail to reveal its weaknesses.

The next day.

The annual Harvest Festival and the Fairy Tail guild's parade have come to a complete end.

The Fairy Tail guild has officially entered a period of great training.

"What is a design?!"

Warlord explains the secrets of 'Shaping Magic' and 'Plant Magic' to Gray, Rachel, and others.

"Let your teacher lead you to eliminate the monsters."

Ulfheim, along with Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna, went to the Monster Forest to exterminate the demons.

"I will teach you how to maximize the flow of blood and energy throughout your body."

Hyberion personally taught Erza how to unleash her full potential.

Besides the above-mentioned fishy tricks, he also studied with Makarov.

By the way, Kana was originally going to study with Warlord, but at a crucial moment, she was stopped by Ig and instead practiced a magic book that Ig gave her.

Chapter 139 Igor: Old Ma, you better hold onto your position as guild master of Fairy Tail! (Part 1)

"This book is the 'Complete Guide to 'Holding Magic'?!"

Kana looked at the grimoire in her hand, raised an eyebrow slightly, and muttered to herself with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "It's really unexpected that Ig has such a deep understanding of 'holding' magic."

So-called 'possession-type' magic refers to magic that uses magical artifacts as its primary means of combat.

Among them, card magic used by Kana, staff magic used by Mystergan, and celestial magic passed down by the Heartfilia family, strictly speaking, all belong to the category of 'holding' magic.

However, Celestial magic is rather unique.

It can be considered both 'holding' magic and 'summoning' magic.

Therefore, users of Celestial Spirit Magic must possess the talents of both 'Holding' and 'Summoning' magic in order to cultivate rapidly.

Incidentally, the actual author of the "Complete Book of 'Holding-type' Magic" in Kana's hand is not Igor, but Mystergan.

After all, in the entire world of 'Aislandon', no one has a deeper understanding of 'Holding Magic' than Prince Mystergon from the world of 'Edras'.

In the world of Edolas, because there are almost no magical particles in the atmosphere, the source of magic within the human body has been completely depleted.

Therefore, their research into 'holding' magic, which they have dedicated the entire world to, far surpasses that of the 'Aisland' world.

Meanwhile, with Igor's help, Mystergan awakened the 'magic source' within his body that had long since withered. Now, like the people of the 'Aislandon' world, he can freely use the magic within his body and has switched to cultivating the more powerful 'celestial magic'.

As for his research and mastery of 'holding' magic, there had to be someone to pass it on, otherwise it would be too much of a pity to just throw it away. And the person who received the full inheritance from Mystergan was Kana.

Of course, it was also a decision made by Ig after careful consideration that Kana was granted the Mystergon legacy. In Ig’s view, Kana, who inherited the bloodline of Gildarts, would surely be able to carry forward the magic of Mystergon.

In fact, Kana's potential in using this magic might even be higher than Mystergan's.

After all, we cannot underestimate Gildarts, the only bloodline of the true first person of Ishgar on the mainland.

"Laxas..."

Aside from Cana, who received the "Complete Book of 'Holding-Type' Magic" from Ig and then began training on her own, Laxus's situation was similar to Cana's.

"I don't have time to keep an eye on your cultivation."

Besides 'Giant Magic', Makarov also learned a whole bunch of miscellaneous magic from Preshto, so he could teach any mage below the 'Tenth Saint' level, regardless of what kind of magic they practiced.

Because of this incident, the vast majority of the guild members also followed him in their training.

Of course, this includes Laxus as well.

But given Makarov's level of lightning magic, he was no longer able to instruct Laxus, so...

"These magic books were left by your great-grandfather."

"Unfortunately, your grandfather has no talent for cultivating lightning magic, so I was unable to pass it down... You can take it and read it."

As Makarov spoke, he carried a dusty, rough-looking box from the deepest part of the Fairy Tail guild library and tossed it to his grandson, Laxus.

"Huh?!"

After receiving the rustic leather trunk from Makarov, Laxus, with his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, immediately frowned.

He first wiped the outside of the suitcase clean with a rag before opening it, taking out the books inside, and starting to read aloud: "The Complete Guide to Lightning Magic (Beginner Level), ...The Complete Guide to Intermediate Levels," ...The Complete Guide to Advanced Levels, "One Hundred Tips for Cultivating Lightning Magic," and "What is Crimson Lightning That Surpasses Lightning?"

"What is all this about?"

Laxus muttered to himself as he carefully put away the grimoires and left the Fairy Tail guild. He knew that it would take at least six months to read through all the contents of those grimoires.

After all, the Laxus who has obtained these books is not the same one from the original timeline who has already defeated Ura Regis in the Grand Magic Games and become the number one mage below the "Elite Four" in the true sense of the continent of Ishgard.

He is still far from the 'non-human realm' and his understanding of lightning is not that deep, so it is naturally much more difficult for him to read books about lightning magic.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Outside the gates of the Fairy Tail guild.

"All good things must come to an end, and it's time for us to leave."

“I have taught you everything I needed to teach you. The rest of the journey is up to you.”

Hayberian, swirling his wine glass, smiled and bid farewell to the small group of guests present.
