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

Time flies, and more than a month has passed since Ron returned to Magnolia Town.

On the continent of Ishgar, at the headquarters of the Magic Council ERA.

Most of the council members sat around the round table in the conference room, each with a serious expression.

In the center of the round table conference room, Crawford Himm, the council president who was a size larger than the others, was listening to the closing report from his subordinates.

He looked bored; the intelligence officer was only talking about reports on the Dark Guild.

"The Dark Guild Nightwalker has been confirmed to be completely wiped out. Several other Dark Guilds in the north have also been destroyed and their members arrested by Ron White from Fairy Tail."

Upon hearing the name Ron, the council members in the round table exchanged glances, their expressions showing some confusion.

Crawford Him frowned and tilted his head, saying:

"Ron White? That name sounds familiar. Haven't we heard it before?"

"Yes, Speaker."

The intelligence officer quickly echoed this, pulling out a previous report about Deliora and explaining:

"The Fairy Tail guild master previously demanded a bounty on Deliora, saying that the newly joined Ice-Type mage Uru, along with his companion Ron, permanently sealed it away. We went to the Northern Continent to investigate the reports from the local residents, and it was confirmed that Deliora disappeared after being frozen by their involvement and has not appeared in the Northern Continent since."

And this Ron White, according to feedback from the local branch and confirmation from Councilor Toki Anderba, was indeed the one who personally resolved the issue.

Crawford Himm looked enlightened.

"So that's Ron White."

When Councilor Toki Anderba arrives, we'll ask him about Ron.

His expression then changed, revealing an arrogant look in his eyes.

"However, since the residents have confirmed that Deliora was frozen, it is naturally thanks to the Ice-Shaped Mage Ul. They can all take credit for it, but the bounty will still be awarded to Ul according to my original judgment."

She deserves a generous reward for solving a task that exceeds S-level difficulty.

As for this newcomer Ron, he only cleaned up a few insignificant dark guilds; all the bounties should be given to him, and Makarov can keep them all.

Although Chairman Makarov reported that the two of them had worked together to seal it, they still believed that it was due to Uru's own strength and had nothing to do with Ron.

Therefore, the credit was due to the combined efforts of the two, and the bounty was still given to Uru for her to distribute as she saw fit.

After all, they still didn't believe that a relatively unknown newcomer could seal away Deliora in his first major mission.

Then a usually serious councilor suddenly realized what was going on and took the opportunity to clear his throat.

"Ahem, I just remembered this Ron White. I recall hearing about him somewhere before."

All the judges' eyes immediately fell on this judge.

"This Ron White also runs a theater company in Magnolia, called the Pure White Theater Company. Their recent theatrical performance is quite famous, I think it's called 'Naruto.' I suggest you check it out."

All the judges listened for a while and then nodded. They were stunned for a moment, and their eyes all fell on the judge.

Brother, aren't we in a meeting? Why are you bringing up these irrelevant things at this time, and suddenly starting to promote something?

Speaker Crawford Sim was also taken aback for a moment, then looked at the Amway reviewer with a suspicious gaze.

The councilor saw that the speaker remained silent, only staring at him with his eyes, and then cleared his throat again guiltily.

"Ahem, why are you all looking at me? I'm just suggesting that you pay close attention to this matter because I believe it's beneficial to our spiritual practice, so that you can enrich your experience."

He stated his proposal with an air of righteous indignation, leaving the other members of parliament in the roundtable looking at each other in bewilderment.

This serious judge appeared completely unconcerned about the other judges' comments, but in fact, a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was still wondering how long the meeting would take; he had to leave quickly.

If the meeting had ended any later, we would have missed the Pure White Theatre Company's brand new production of "Death" tonight!

I missed their opening performances a few times before, and I could only ask people in the audience for the backstory. I felt like I missed a lot of great shows!

He bought VIP tickets for this performance of "Bleach" because he wouldn't allow himself to miss a single show!

The councilor was internally raging, but outwardly remained calm, though his anxious fingers were constantly tapping on his chair.

Speaker Crawford Him closed his eyes in exasperation, then waved for the intelligence officer to continue.

"Don't just stand there, continue your report."

"Yes, then..."

"Sorry I'm late."

The wooden door to the round table conference room was pushed open, and an aged voice sounded from behind the intelligence officer.

Councilor Toki Anderba, with a full head of white hair, walked in looking embarrassed.

"It's alright, have a seat, Toki."

Speaker Crawford Sim did not blame him, after all, he held several positions and it would take him some time to get here.

After Toki Anderba took his seat, Speaker Crawford Him gave instructions to the intelligence officer:

"You may leave now. We need to discuss important matters first, and we'll let you know later."

"No problem, Speaker."

The intelligence officer put away the documents and turned to leave.

After closing the wooden door, Speaker Crawford sat up straight, revealing a serious expression.

"Alright, now that all the council members are here, let's get down to business."

As Speaker Crawford Himm spoke, all the council members in the meeting room became extremely attentive, even those who were rushing to see "Death" temporarily put aside their anxiety.

Toki Anderba sat up straight, took a deep breath, and listened attentively to the speaker's speech.

"Although this is a plan for next year, it is crucial to the future of the entire magical world."

Speaker Crawford Sim paused for a moment, his gaze slowly sweeping over the faces of every council member present, all of whom were over fifty and quite old.

"Gentlemen, we are all getting old. The changing of the times is irreversible. Establishing an effective evaluation system for council members will help us bring in new blood and make the council shine again."

"Therefore, we need to seriously discuss the first ERA Youth Mage Examination next year now."
