Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 630 Makarov: Do you need me to act as your wingman?

Margonolia Street.

The elderly man with a receding hairline walked slowly with his hands behind his back, occasionally stealing lewd glances at the beautiful women passing by.

Behind him followed a black-haired man with a scar on his left cheek. The man's behavior was quite strange; he would often grab a street lamp or flower bed by the roadside and start munching on it, then comment on the taste as if no one else was around.

The strange behavior of the old man and the young man aroused disgust among passersby, who avoided them at all costs: What strange fellow has Mr. Makarov brought back to the city this time?

"Ah~ how nostalgic, the taste of Margonoria." Mester held a paving stone she had just dug out from under her feet in both hands.

"That residue is clearly your athlete's foot—" Makarov sighed helplessly.

Mester didn't actually have this strange fetish; it was a persona he created for himself during his S-rank assessment in order to better "integrate" into the guild and fulfill his mission as a double agent.

The reason it has remained until now is probably a side effect of using memory magic too much, and it is unlikely to recover in a short time.

As for why Makarov brought back Mester, who was supposed to be infiltrating the council to gather intelligence, it was naturally because there was no need for that now.

He has obtained incredibly comprehensive information from Chess, including the true nature of the Alvarez Empire and the origins of the Five Divine Dragons of the Northern Continent!

According to Chase, this guy Mester might even do stupid things like modifying the Twelve Shields' memories and assassinating one of the Empire's two strongest warriors, indirectly accelerating the war!

Although Mester's actions were based on Fairy Tail's interests and would likely not follow the "future" that Chase understood, Makarov still felt it was necessary to bring Mester back as soon as possible to prevent the chaos caused by memory magic from causing trouble.

Moreover, reuniting with her companions and walking in the sunshine is something that Meester has always longed for deep down!

"Athlete's foot?! I see, President, you're reminding me that I can't just savor the taste of inanimate objects!"

Mester's eyes lit up. He turned and grabbed the wrist of a beautiful woman passing by, his expression earnest. "Madam, may I taste your feet?"

"Aaaaaah~ Get lost, you pervert!"

"You fiend, wake up!"

The crisp slap and Makarov's sharp chop landed almost simultaneously. Struck by this heavy blow, Meester coughed up blood, spun several times in the air, and then collapsed heavily to the ground.

The injury was quite severe, but the results were outstanding.

"Huh? Guild Master, what just happened? Are we at the guild yet?"

Meister swayed as she stood up again, her eyes regaining some clarity, and she looked much more normal.

"It's nothing. You've had a tough time during the two and a half years we were gone."

Thinking of Mester's years as a spy, Makarov couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He pointed to the end of the street, "The guild is over there. From now on, what?!"

Halfway through his sentence, the old man's eyes suddenly popped out of their sockets, and he exclaimed loudly, "What about my huge guild?!"

Following his gaze, Mester saw that the street ended in emptiness, and the vast lake behind the city was clearly visible.

That's strange. I don't remember the guild being built at the bottom of the lake, right?

The scene changes.

The Fairy Tail guild was reduced to ashes, leaving not even ruins, and was restored to its original state by Lucy's Arc of Time.

Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, and others who led the disturbance; Chess, Mira, Erza, and others who had the ability to stop them but allowed them to destroy the house; and Lucy, who, despite lacking strength, was a current S-class mage.

Everyone had large and small bags on their heads and obediently squatted in front of the irritated Makarov to accept criticism.

"I'm just going to a meeting at the Guild Council and to pick up Mester, who has regained her status as a mage. You bunch of brats, you're going to blow up the guild as soon as you get back!"

"Lucy, especially you! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Arc of Time. If you want to fight, get the hell out of here on Nirvana!"

Lucy, who hadn't participated in the fight, expressed her innocence: No, no, Vadashi clearly advised against it—

Little did she know, this was also the old man's recognition of her current abilities.

Even Chase had to obediently endure the president's anger, not to mention the other troublemakers.

Fortunately, Makarov knew how easily these brats would let things go in one ear and out the other, so he didn't scold them for too long. He just gave them a brief lesson and then officially announced Mester's return.

Chase was not surprised by the news, and most of his companions, after a brief moment of digestion, accepted the fact and enthusiastically surrounded the slightly flustered Mester, asking her all sorts of questions.

In contrast, Natsu and Happy, two very intelligent people, reacted differently from ordinary people.

"That's strange. Didn't Mester participate in the S-rank assessment with us? Why did the old man specifically introduce her again?"

"Oh, you're so silly, Natsu! Of course it's because we disappeared for two and a half years, and the guild master was afraid we'd forgotten Mester!"

Lucy, who overheard their conversation, scoffed, "You two didn't listen to a single word about spies, infiltration, or memory magic!"

"Alright, let Mester get familiar with the guild environment first."

Makarov waved and turned to walk towards the president's office on the second floor. "Lucy, come up and tell us about your performance this time..."

"It's about the level-based commission, right? And Chess, you're included too."

After all, it was an S-class commission with an extremely high difficulty level, and he had heard some scattered information from Warlord, so he naturally wanted to know the details.

"Ah? Yes!" Lucy, who was already preparing to report, dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Chase, who was also named, went up to the second floor.

After some explanation.

"I see. I didn't expect that besides the five divine dragons, there was a dragon that has lived for more than four hundred years and even became the king of the Kingdom of Stella."

Makarov sat in the main seat, gazing intently at the steaming black tea before him.

Even more unexpectedly, Lucy's team was able to defeat the Crystal Dragon Animus, whose magic had been restored to its peak, using their own strength!

In particular, Lucy now possesses the ability to summon the Celestial Spirit King without any damage!

If I remember correctly, this guy was a complete newbie in magic when he first joined the guild, right?

The old man didn't say this heartfelt praise directly, for fear that Lucy would get too carried away.

"Hehe, it's mainly thanks to the cooperation of Levy and the others, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it!" Lucy scratched her head shyly, but her tone was full of pride.

"I haven't even praised you yet!"

Seeing the blonde girl instantly cower and shrink back, Makarov picked up his tea, took a sip, and abandoned the idea of ​​giving her a lecture. Instead, he smiled and gave her his approval, "Well, this S-rank commission was indeed well done. Keep it up!"

Lucy was taken aback for a moment, then nodded emphatically with a bright smile: "Yes!"

"So, sir, what brings you here?"

Sitting to the side, Chess glanced at the door and could clearly hear the commotion below. "It's getting late. I need to go back and rest with Mira and Erza."

As is customary in Fairy Tail, Mester's return will definitely be marked by a grand welcome party where everyone drinks until they drop.

However, the news hasn't been relayed to our friends who are out yet, so it's definitely not going to happen tonight.

"You brat, you're not even pretending anymore, are you? Watch your kidneys, you little brat!" Makarov couldn't help but shout.

More likely, it's envy, jealousy, and resentment: I wasn't ugly when I was young, so why didn't I encounter such good fortune?

These words made the innocent Lucy blush instantly.

Last night in the Kingdom of Stella, she and Erza, who shared a room and was determined to act as her wingman, secretly discussed this topic quite a bit.

"Oh? Don't you want to hold your adorable, chubby little boy soon, old man?" Chase asked with a smile.

"Well, on the other hand, I have a lot of confidence in your physique!" Makarov instantly put on a kind face.

There is no doubt that the elderly love new life, and one Asuka is clearly not enough to satisfy his "old heart".

"Such a fast change of expression!" Lucy exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"Ahem, it's nothing really. The Ten Saints' assessment is in a few days."

Makarov, his thoughts drifting to the guild filled with chubby little boys, coughed twice and got straight to the point, "I'm sure Senior Volod has already told you about the trouble you might encounter."

"Serena, the God ranked number one among the Ten Saints?" Chase said.

"That's right, I just want to tell you that you don't need to worry too much. If that arrogant brat dares to get in your way, I'll beat him to a pulp!" Makarov clenched his fists angrily.

As one of the Ten Wizard Saints, he naturally participated in the meeting that Warlord mentioned.

The exact same reaction as senior Warlord?

Lucy couldn't help but wonder just how arrogant that legendary strongest mage in Ishgar was.

"Of course, I'm hoping to get a new card from that guy." Chase waved his hand dismissively.

Although it was taken down by Acnologia as if it were just a roadside dump, Serena is still one of the Twelve Shields, second only to the Twin Walls. Surely she can't even get a new card, right?

He wanted to use this battle to better assess his current combat strength.

Seeing his confident demeanor, Makarov was completely relieved.

"Alright then, you can prepare these next few days and try to get me a big, healthy baby boy in my arms as soon as possible!"

"No, no, it's not just you, we need to urge everyone else too, especially that bastard Laxus! Where did I put my magic crystal ball?"

Lucy thought the first half of the sentence was normal, but the second half made her spit out all the tea she was drinking.

President, you've been led astray by Chess!

"Never mind, we'll talk about it later. Chess, you go back now. Lucy, stay here and tell me how far you and Natsu have progressed. Do you need me to act as your wingman?"

"Huh?! Huh?!?!"
