Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

"Where is Wulu? Where is she?"

Kana, who was near the bar, was startled and almost knocked over her tarot cards.

"President, Sister Ulu hasn't come today yet. It seems she went out yesterday after receiving a commission."

She then stood up and obediently answered.

Upon hearing this, Makarov's smile froze instantly.

"What the hell, of all times, they weren't there at this crucial moment..."

He slumped his shoulders in dejection and sat on the bar, muttering to himself.

Not long after, Ron finally caught up and went straight to the bar.

He looked at the president and wondered why she suddenly looked so dejected, and asked Kana, who was standing next to him, with curiosity.

After receiving Kana's reply, he couldn't help but laugh and went over to comfort Makarov.

"Alright, Chairman, it's okay to deliver the news a little later. There's no time limit for her position, so let's take it slow."

"Okay, you're right..."

Bang~!

Just then, the guild's main door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, revealing three small figures.

Ron!

Long time no see!

Upon hearing the sound, everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at the three figures at the door.

Ron turned around immediately and saw the white-haired girl waving vigorously at him, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

"Mirajae, you've finally arrived."

Chapter 124 The Heart of the Devil

Just as Mirajane arrived at Fairy Tail, a huge airship was lurking in the clouds in the airspace not far from Magnolia.

An old man wearing a helmet and an eyepatch over his right eye sat on a throne, silently listening to the reports from Urutia below.

This airship is the core flagship of the Dark Guild within the Balam Alliance, the Heart of the Devil.

The old man sitting on the throne, with his hair and beard completely white, was none other than Hades, the guild master of the Heart of the Devil.

"...That's the current situation of the mission. I successfully came in second place in the assessment and have received the appointment from the Council."

Urutia maintained a cold expression and, upon returning to the airship, gave a full report on the mission.

Hades nodded slightly, then asked with a somber expression:

"So that's why both Lastiros and Azuma lost?"

"And the Six Demon Generals were all severely injured, which is why they didn't get a top-three finish?"

This time, in cooperation with the Oración Seis, six people were sent to infiltrate and conduct the assessment, but the top three only managed to secure one spot.

The reason the plan turned out this way was all due to the same person.

"What's the deal with that kid named Ron White?"

Hades' gaze fell on Urudia. The other two were not yet in a suitable condition to report, so he could only ask her.

Urudia lowered his head and pondered for a moment before replying:

"His abilities are as unfathomable as I reported, but he declined to become a council member after getting first place in the assessment, citing the drama troupe's busy schedule as the reason."

Having gauged the local reputation of his Pure White Theatre Troupe, it's likely he was telling the truth. This trip to assess him is probably just for show; he's not really interested in these things.

Hades frowned slightly after hearing this answer, and then began to think.

This guy named Ron single-handedly defeated them one by one and even interrupted their plan to dominate the top three. Where did he suddenly come from?

Where did they find Makarov? He's so young and already has this ability; I'm quite envious of him.

However, since Ron is busy making money with his theater troupe and doesn't care about these powers, we can ignore him for now.

"Since all he thinks about is making money, let him be, as long as he doesn't hinder our next plan."

Urudia lowered her head, her heart finally at ease.

However, she maintained a cold expression on the surface and shouldn't relax at this moment.

"Okay, Chairman, I have another question."

Hades raised his head, a little curious about what Urudia was going to say.

"Could we postpone the matter of reporting to the council for the time being?"

Hades glanced at her, but didn't ask any further questions. He simply nodded and said:

"That's no problem. I never intended for you to start working there right away."

"Our guild still needs you. Go find Speaker Crawford and ask him to arrange a long-term field mission for you. That way, no one will suspect anything."

"Yes, President Hades."

Urutia bowed slightly and prepared to turn and leave.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, President Hades stopped Urudia, causing her body to tremble slightly.

"How are Lastiros and Azuma doing in the treatment room?"

Urudia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then, recalling her visit just now, a subtle expression appeared on her face.

"Lastiros has woken up, but he is still injured and it is inconvenient for him to come over."

Then Azuma...

Hades looked puzzled and pressed for an answer:

"What's wrong with Azuma? Is there a problem?"

“I don’t know his situation, and he kicked me out.”

Hades paused for a moment, then casually gave the order:

"Is he still holding a grudge against you? Then send a nurse over to call him."

"Um... Azuma said she didn't want to see women anymore, and she kicked the female nurses out too."

"...?"

He frowned, wondering if he had misheard something.

It seems that Azuma suffered quite a blow during this infiltration.

He shook his head, then gave a helpless look and said:

"Then you should go back first. Thank you for your hard work."

At this moment, Urutia continued her previous action and walked away from the hall.

With the doors to the hall closed, Hades was left all alone in the space.

He leaned back on his throne, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest as he pondered.

The internal situation of the judges has changed somewhat, with quite a few more people joining in.

Let's not talk about Lahar; we've investigated his background, and he's not a threat.

However, Uruk, the newest member of Fairy Tail who is currently enjoying great popularity, is the one that needs to be closely watched.

He hadn't expected that Urudia would have this opportunity to meet her mother, but she still chose to avoid it.

I'm relieved that she still hates her mother.

Hades smiled. Even though he had been away from Fairy Tail for so long, he still kept hearing news about them.

It seems that my decision to appoint you as the third-generation guild leader was the right one.

Hades' original name was Prechter Gellberg. He was the second guild master of Fairy Tail, but left in order to pursue the path of magic.

Hades then suppressed his smile; even former guild members couldn't stop him from pursuing the pinnacle of the demonic path.

He then thought for a moment and muttered to himself:

“Urudia still has one nomination spot left. It seems we need to contact Brian to discuss the next steps.”

Meanwhile, in the lobby on the first floor of the Fairy Tail guild.

Snap, snap, snap!

After stamping the Strauss family's seal, Makarov happily put away his guild's seal.

"Alright, from today onwards, the three of you are also members of Fairy Tail!"

The three newcomers were the Strauss family that Ron had met before: Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna.

"Great! Another new member has joined the guild!"

"Three new members joined at once! The guild is getting more and more lively!"

As the guild master announced it, all the mages in the guild hall cheered enthusiastically, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

Elfman and Lisanna, standing behind Mirajane, also joined in the shouting, thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere.

Mirajane looked at her younger siblings' happiness and revealed her true feelings, finally arriving at a place where they could be happy.

Ron, standing to the side, smiled brightly and said to them:

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!"

Chapter 125 The Joining of Mirajane's Family

"It's all thanks to you. It took me more than a year to finally learn how to receive magic."

Only then can we lead them on a new journey.

Mirajane, with her hair tied in a topknot, looked at Ron with gratitude.

"No, it's all thanks to your own hard work."

Ron looked at Mirajane in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that his intervention last time resulted in the three siblings joining the Fairy Tail guild a few years earlier than in the original story.

This not only saved them from a lot of suffering, but also proved that my appearance did change their painful childhood, which was worthwhile.

Mirajane then patted her younger brother and sister behind her and said:

"Elfman and Lisana also want to see you again and chat with you."

“Ron, you’re right, this guild is noisier than I expected.”

Lisana moved closer to Ron, smiling.

"Yes, this mage guild is bigger than I imagined. It turns out that mages are quite common around here, unlike in our village."

Elfman also shrank up and walked over, sighing with Ron.

Ron also squatted down, patted their heads and said:

"You'll get used to it. Everyone in the guild is a good person. If you don't know how to do anything, just ask, and they'll help."

Mirajane watched their interaction and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Great! Finally, there's a girl my age in the guild!"

Kana, holding a juice, approached Mirajane with a smile.

"My name is Kana Alperona. From now on, we'll be guildmates. If you have any questions about the girls' dormitory, feel free to come and ask me!"

"Thank you, Kana."

Mirajane smiled and accepted the juice, quickly starting a conversation with Kana.

"Mira, what are you guys talking about?"

Seeing the two of them start chatting, Lisana turned around and joined them.
