"Hughes didn't destroy your guild. He only damaged a few floorboards. The rest was all done by them."

Lisanna jumped out from behind the gigantic Makarov, pointed at Natsu and the others, and shouted with a serious expression.

Mira and Elfman stood behind her, their eyes equally serious.

Amidst the ruins, Erza and Natsu exchanged bewildered glances. To be fair, it seemed as if they themselves had destroyed the guild.

Although Natsu got beaten up, it seems he started it himself, and Hughes was on the defensive the whole time, while they were the ones who took the initiative to attack.

Makarov's enormous eyes swept over the guild members, and the heavy, terrifying magical power pressed down on the uneasy Vakaba and the others, causing them to retreat repeatedly.

"Hi! President, you're here!" Natsu raised his hand, squinted his eyes, and greeted him in a sweet, coquettish voice.

Judging from these people's reactions, Makarov knew that the little girl in front of him was not lying.

The giant hand, like a fly swatter, slammed down on Natsu and the others, its voice booming with fury: "You bastards, there's a limit to your nonsense! Do you even know how many quest orders we need to complete to rebuild a guild?"

"Don't always make this old man worry!"

The old man was like a merciless, furious machine; after roaring on the left, he started cursing on the right, making Mira and the others standing in front of him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"One day, you guys will drive this old man to the brink of a heart attack!"

After speaking, Makarov put down Hughes and began to shrink, returning to the small old man who was even shorter than Lisanna.

"Why aren't you all busy making money to build a new guild? I'm not going to hand over my retirement savings!"

Seeing Natsu and the others scatter in all directions in a flurry after his roar, Makarov sighed helplessly. Given how unreliable this group was, he could already imagine his pension being emptied.

I really want to retire!!

Hughes, who was put down by Makarov, emerged from his illness, but the excruciating pain in his head was even worse than before, causing his eyes to roll back and him to collapse unconscious on the ground with a thud.

"Huh??"

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned and bewildered.

"President, you killed him?" Natsu stretched out his arm, pointing his finger at Makarov in disbelief.

"Damn it, Natsu, how could I possibly be that kind of person!" Makarov's arm suddenly stretched out, sending Natsu flying.

This kind of brainless thing is just getting in the way if it stays here.

Mira rushed to Hughes' side to check on him. Although he looked pained, the fact that he was still breathing continuously despite being unconscious reassured her.

As long as he's not dead...

Hughes had told them that if the aftereffects of his illness became too severe, he would fall into a coma, which was his body's way of protecting him.

He usually wakes up on his own after a while.

Erza sheathed her sword and stepped forward: "So, what brings you to our guild?"

"We're here to join your guild!"

"what!"

Lisanna's serious reply startled everyone, who screamed. They looked around at the ruins of the guild, wishing at that moment that Hughes and his group had come to cause trouble.

Otherwise, the guild leader will definitely hold them accountable for rebuilding the guild!

Macao and the others exchanged glances. Without the aid of spells, a tacit understanding arose in their minds, and they stared at the unconscious Hughes on the ground.

At this point, if we can get one more person to share the cost, we need to get another one; we can't let them get away!

"Macao, where did the guild master put the guild seal?"

Marcao shook his head and pointed to the ruins behind him, where a guild once stood.

"The guild has been reduced to ruins, where am I supposed to find the guild seal...?"

The plan was aborted before it could even be implemented, and Hughes, who was in a deep sleep, escaped for the time being.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Makarov was staring intently at Hughes, his brow furrowing even more deeply.

He could sense that Hughes's spiritual power was immense and was dissipating from his body.

But he was puzzled as to why, with such strong mental aptitude, Hughes had no source of magic within him.

If there is no source of magic, it means that he has no magic power in his body. So how did he use fire magic just now?

I don't have any magical items on me!

Composing himself, Makarov noticed Mira and the other two standing there somewhat bewildered. He reached into his chest and pulled out a spare guild seal from his clothes.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail, kids." Makarov held up the guild seal in his hand and walked up to Mira and the other two with a smile.

On the way, Hughes had already told them what kind of guild Fairy Tail was.

The three of them did not refuse and stepped forward one by one.

"Grandpa Guild Master, I want to have the white guild emblem stamped on my thigh!" Lisanna lifted her skirt so Makarov could brand it onto her thigh.

Elfman put down the package on his back, revealing his neck, as he wanted to stamp the black guild emblem.

When it was Mira's turn, she was a little troubled. She had agreed with Lisanna to cover their thighs together, and it wouldn't have been a problem with her previous outfit of a tank top and shorts.

But she's wearing a pink dress now... It would be better to let Hughes have another episode than to make her lift her dress.

Mira glanced at the unconscious Hughes on the ground and stretched out her right hand. Hughes had once said that if he joined the guild, the guild emblem would definitely be printed on his right forearm.

"President, put it on your forearm, make sure it's blue!"

With a snap, the blue fairy emblem was branded onto Mira's arm.

"Mira, what's wrong with you? You have a demonic aura about you," Makarov asked, puzzled.

He was simply asking a question, not out of curiosity. After all, there were already too many oddballs and problem kids in the guild, one more wouldn't make a difference, and he was used to it.

Mira lowered her head, her right hand boldly transforming into a withered, demonic arm before everyone's eyes.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"So cool!"

Natsu and the others exclaimed in surprise, and Makarov's eyes also lit up. He noticed that Mira had never studied magic.

Anyone who has studied magic will inevitably leave traces in their body, which cannot be hidden from his perception.

This is a promising candidate for self-awakening magic!

In the world of Aslant, the ratio of mages to ordinary people is 1:9, meaning that only 10% of people can become mages.

To become a mage, having a magical source within one's body is fundamental. The size of the magical source determines the strength of the magic. Magic can only be mastered by mages through meditation, enlightenment, and learning.

But this only applies to ordinary people. Geniuses are always unconventional; they can achieve their goals without going through a series of arduous processes.

This is self-awakened magic, and the magic that these geniuses awaken on their own is often one of the more powerful magics in the same series.

Upon seeing Mira's demonic arm, Makarov felt he had struck gold, and suddenly realized that the destruction of the guild wasn't such a big deal after all.
