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

"Hey Ron, I thought I was misperceiving things."

I never expected it to really be you.

Gildarts turned to look at Ron, but his hands didn't stop moving.

In Gildarts's memory, Ron usually stayed in Magnolia Town, so how could they have run into each other here?

"Huh? You, you two know each other?"

Gurogu and the guards were stunned for a moment, and then the weapon that had been extended forward retracted slightly.

Ron sighed and then stepped forward to explain.

"This lewd guy and I are both mages in Fairy Tail. Male characters don't need to worry about him."

And quickly let them go, you've scared them.

Ron continued kicking Gildarts, who finally released the female guard with a look of utter despair.

"Ron, is this guy also a mage from Fairy Tail?"

Gray and Leo looked at the sleazy-looking man with puzzled expressions.

Ron looked at Gildarts with disdain, but still nodded.

"That's right, he's a senior I trust, a senior I can rely on..."

Gildarts pricked up his ears and smiled smugly upon hearing Ron's praise.

"But I don't respect him!"

"Uh-huh.......?!"

Gildarts was still nodding when he heard the second half of the sentence and looked at Ron in astonishment.

Why would you say that?

Ron turned around, adjusted his goggles, and said righteously:

"Isn't it obvious? You must be imprisoned here because of a woman, right?!"

I never knew you were this kind of person. I'll have to write a report for the chairman when I get back.

Ron unconsciously took a few steps back. I'm a women-friendly person, you know. If I get involved because of this, I'll never be able to clear my name.

Gray and Leo, standing to the side, also gave each other disdainful looks.

"Huh? Looks like he's a middle-aged man who's not exactly in good shape?"

"Yes, yes, we'd better stay away from him."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense!"

Gildarts hurriedly began to explain, lest he actually report to the chairman again.

"Although I did come here because of a woman, it was on a whim that she gave me a mission, specifically to deal with the Gojohashi family."

After hearing Gildarts' explanation, Ron finally showed an expression of understanding.

"So, you really didn't commit a crime after all?"

Since we share the same goal, things are a bit easier.

Ron then casually pointed to a mage from the Gojo Bridge family. The mage was slightly taken aback and then pointed to himself in confusion.

"You take care of that one, and I'll handle the rest?"

Gildarts paused for a moment, then gave an interesting smile.

"Kid, it's been so long, your tone has gotten arrogant."

"I won't have enough fun if there's only one of me. There are so many other people, so at least give me half of the game."

Ron shook his head and opened his palms.

"No, I can only give you 10 more. I still have three people to divide them up. You need to finish this and go back to report."

Gray and the others stared wide-eyed. What, are we involved here?

Should we also share?

Everyone present stared blankly at Ron and Gildarts, who stood there oblivious to everyone else, discussing how to divide the enemies.

The warden, Gurogu, and the guards standing nearby broke out in a cold sweat. Why were they haggling over the price like they were dividing up pork?

"Hey, you two bastards from Fairy Tail!"

Ron and Gildarts then came to their senses and looked at the roaring Doram.

Doram frowned and pointed at Gildarts with his index finger, saying:

"You're Gildarts, the so-called strongest mage in the West, right!"

"Wow, I'm that famous?"

Gildarts chuckled and scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha, it's true after all!"

Doram then began to laugh wildly, looking up at the sky.

"So, if I defeat you, I'll become the strongest in the West. That would be wonderful."

Gildarts was taken aback. This guy was only so-so in strength, but he had some pretty good ideas.

Ron nudged Gildarts with his elbow, ready to start whispering among themselves.

"Since they've already come to you, you can't keep them waiting, so that person will take care of it for you."

Leave the rest to us, and you can pick up the leftovers if needed, how about that?

Gildarts thought about it for a moment, and finally reluctantly agreed to Ron's idea.

"Alright, that's settled then."

"Remember to slow down and give me a break."

After saying this with a smile, Ron charged directly towards the nearby enemies.

boom!

"Grey, I'm leaving Director Toch and the guards in your protection."

Ron knocked the enemy unconscious with a punch, then gave an order to Gray who was nearby.

Gildarts couldn't help but laugh in exasperation when he saw Ron's obvious fear that he would steal someone else's kill.

Well, it's rare that this kid is interested, so let's take it slow.

Gildarts walked over step by step, taking a little longer to reach Doram.

"You made the right choice. If you had let that kid come, he might have died a horrible death."

"Huh? You mean that kid?"

Gildarts tilted his head to look at Doram, and couldn't help but feel that this man was a little too arrogant.

"You seem to have made a mistake?"

Whether it's me or that kid, you'll end up the same way.

Gildarts smiled and said:

"He lay unconscious on the ground, and from then on, your guild was reunited as one family in this prison."

Doram glared angrily, his eyes bloodshot from the whites of his eyes.

"Don't underestimate people!"

Many small orbs appeared on Doram's body and began to emit rays towards Gildarts, constantly attacking him.

Gildarts looked indifferent and casually waved his hand, instantly shattering all the small balls and beams of light, disintegrating the light beams.

"It's my turn."

Having said that, Gildarts arrived in front of Doram at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"What?!"

Gildarts's fist flashed with a magic circle, aimed at Doram's head.

"Dispelling Evil and Revealing Righteousness - Thunder and Earth!"

boom!!!

After being punched, Doram lost consciousness instantly. The impact sent him flying from the prison tower to the prison wall, leaving a human-shaped dent in the wall.

boom!

"ah......?!"

Gildarts looked back and saw that Ron had punched his eldest son in the stomach, causing him to open his mouth wide and spit out murky water.

The eldest son, caught off guard, collapsed to the ground and remained motionless.

Gildarts surveyed his surroundings; all the criminals and the entire Five Bridges family were already lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

He gave Ron an admiring look.

"You've grown a lot, Ron."
