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

Chapter 124 The Devil's Heart

Just as Mirajane arrived at Fairy Tail to report for duty, a huge airship was hidden in the clouds in a certain airspace not far from Magnolia.

An old man wearing a helmet and an eye patch over his right eye sat on a throne, silently listening to Urutia's report from below.

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

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

That's the current situation. I successfully secured second place in the assessment and received an appointment from the council.

Urudia maintained a cold expression and, upon returning to the airship, gave a full report on the mission's progress.

Hades nodded slightly, then asked with a gloomy expression, "So that's why both Lastiros and Azuma suffered defeats?"

"And the Oración Seis were all severely injured, which is why they didn't make it into the top three?"

This time, in cooperation with the Oración Seis, six people were sent to infiltrate the assessment, but only one of the top three got a 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 Ultear. The other two were not yet in a suitable physical condition to report, so he could only ask her.

Urudia lowered his head and pondered for a while before replying, "His strength is as unfathomable as I reported. However, after winning first place in this assessment, he declined to be considered for membership in the council, citing the drama troupe's busy schedule."

Having investigated the local reputation of his Pure White Theater Troupe, it's likely he was telling the truth. He's probably just here to see what's going on and has no real interest in these things.

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

This guy named Ron defeated them one by one by himself 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 yet he has such abilities; 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, President, I have one more question."

Hades looked up, a little curious about what Ultear 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 nodded and said, "That's no problem. I never intended for you to take up your post so quickly."

"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, Chairman Hades."

Urutia bowed slightly and prepared to turn and leave.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, President Hades called a halt to Ultear, causing her body to tremble slightly.

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

Urudia breathed a sigh of relief, then, recalling her recent visit, 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 asked, "What's wrong with Azuma? Is there a problem?"

"I didn't know anything about him, and he kicked me out."

Hades paused for a moment, then casually ordered, "Is he still holding a grudge against you? Then send a nurse to fetch him."

"that...

"...Azuma said she didn't want to see women anymore and kicked the female nurse out as well."

...?"

He frowned, wondering if he had misheard something.

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

He shook his head, then said with a helpless expression, "Then you should go back first. Thank you for your hard work."

Following her previous actions, Urudia strode out of the hall.

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

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

The internal situation among the council members has changed somewhat, with many more people getting involved.

As for Lahar, let's not talk about him. I've investigated his background, and he's not a threat.

However, Uru, the newly joined member of Fairy Tail who is currently enjoying great popularity, is the one we need to pay close attention to.

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. He had been away from Fairy Tail for so long, yet he still kept hearing news about them.

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

Hades' original name was Precito Gelberg, who was the second guild master of Fairy Tail before leaving to pursue the path of magic.

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

He then thought for a moment and muttered to himself, "Urudia still has one nomination spot left. It seems I 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 own 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! A new member has joined the guild!"

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

As the guild leader announced this, the mages in the entire guild hall erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and the atmosphere instantly became electric.

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

Mirajah smiled sincerely as she watched her siblings being happy; they had finally come to a place where they could be joyful.

Ron, standing to the side, flashed a bright smile and said to them, "Welcome to Fairy Tail!"
