Chapter 91 Everyone Falls Asleep Instantly
"What! Loki is a Protoss!"
The group returned to the guild and told everyone about Loki.
The fact that his companion, with whom he spent all his time slacking off, was actually the strongest Golden Celestial Spirit caused quite a stir in the guild hall.
The one who was most shocked was Gray, who had made a promise with Loki to be his partner in the next guild S-class mage exam.
There are still 4 months until the assessment, but the companions who made such a solemn promise back then have already become someone else's Protoss.
I was here first...
"Lord Grey, come here, ah~"
Gray opened his mouth, enjoying the snack Juvia had made especially for him. Having overcome his initial awkwardness, Gray was now gradually accepting of Juvia.
The main reason was that he realized no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't get rid of this guy who was head over heels in love with him, so instead of resisting, he might as well lie down and enjoy it...
Poor Juvia, she has no idea that the man she's currently feeding her dream lover is thinking about another man... a Protoss.
Mirajane sat behind the counter, listening to Hope recount the recent events at the guild, and couldn't help but exclaim, "So many interesting things have happened these past few days! I wish I had waited a few days before going to have my photoshoot done."
Speaking of photo books, Hope remembered that she had promised Taurus Talos a "top-notch" photo book, and immediately waved to Natsu in the hall.
"Natsu, I need to ask you for a favor."
"Another commission? Who are we asked to secretly observe this time? I'm already fired up!"
Hope looked at the excited Natsu and shook her head. "This time I need your help to go to the nearby farm and take some pictures of the beautiful cows."
Naz knew about Hope's promise to Talos, but he never imagined that the "best" photo shoot Hope promised actually referred to a cow...
Upon hearing that it was a prank request, Natsu immediately agreed.
At this moment, Lucy followed with Happy in her arms. She completely agreed with the idea of tricking Talos, that lecherous bull. "By the way, Hope, Loki asked me to thank you on his behalf for what happened last time."
Hope nodded, then asked, "Lucy, are you alright?"
During the confrontation with the Celestial Spirit King, Lucy suddenly summoned all the Celestial Spirits. Although it was only for a brief moment, it far exceeded the limits that an ordinary Celestial Spirit Mage should have.
What's even stranger is that Lucy suddenly had a surge of magical power that enabled her to summon the Celestial Spirit.
Hope initially thought Lucy had activated her "second magic source" under extreme conditions, but upon returning, he discovered that Lucy's magic power had returned to its original level.
In response to Hope's concerns, Lucy chuckled dryly, "I don't know what happened either. I had run out of magic, and then suddenly I had a surge of power again."
"Perhaps it's because my family has been Celestial Spirit Mages for generations?"
Lucy's words startled Hope. "Your ancestors were all Celestial Spirit Mages?!"
Lucy nodded. "When I was little, my mother told me that we Heartfilia are born Celestial Spirit Mages, and the Celestial Spirits are very willing to be our companions."
I see, Hope understands now.
The magic that Lucy used to summon all the Celestials was likely derived from the power of her bloodline, but Lucy had not yet truly awakened that power.
This explains why the Celestial Spirit King treats Lucy so specially; he may have made a contract with one of the ancestors of the Heartfilia family, which is why he treats Lucy as an "old friend."
After all, time flows differently in the Protoss Realm. What happens a long time in the human world is only a few months or years in the Protoss Realm.
“Lucy, I suspect there is an even greater power hidden within you. You can try pushing your magic to its limit; perhaps you can rekindle the power that summoned all the Celestials back then.”
Upon hearing that she possessed such great potential, Lucy excitedly clenched her fist. She now had six golden keys, which would allow her to summon six golden celestial spirits to fight at once...
Just thinking about that scene is thrilling.
In her excitement, Lucy suddenly remembered something and pulled three invitations to a seaside resort hotel from her pocket. "Loki used to use these to pick up girls, and now I'm getting them for free."
Natsu took the invitation ticket and stared at the luxurious number on it with Happy. Both of them almost popped their eyes out.
"This hotel is so luxurious! I've never stayed in one in my entire life!"
"Wow! There's also the sea and the beach!"
Lucy kept one invitation ticket for herself and gave the other to Hope. "I also gave one to Erza, and I saw her immediately go pack her bags."
Because Natsu promised to help Hope take "cow" photos, Lucy planned to go to a resort hotel to relax after finishing with him. For her, vacations are most enjoyable when you're with friends.
Watching Natsu's team leave happily, Hope rubbed the invitation ticket in her hand. This one actually cost 20 J, which was really extravagant.
Although she is now wealthy, Hope still doesn't quite understand what those high-spending people are thinking. They think it would be better to stay home and improve their own capabilities instead of wasting their time.
But since it's free, we can't let Lucy's kindness go to waste.
Just then, Erza arrived, wearing a beach dress, a sun hat, and a swimming ring. "Hope, where are Lucy and the others?"
Hope smiled slightly at Erza's eagerness, "They had some business to attend to and went out. If you want to go on vacation with them, you might have to wait another day."
Erza saw the invitation ticket in Hope's hand and a sudden idea struck her. "In that case, how about the two of us..."
Before she could even speak, Erza saw Mirajane behind the counter suddenly slump onto the table, and she herself felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her.
This feeling...
Is that guy back...?
Overwhelmed by drowsiness, Erza slumped forward and landed right on Hope.
Hope helped Erza lean against the counter and let her lie down. Then she turned to look at her companions in the hall, who had instantly fallen into a deep sleep and were lying sprawled out on the floor.
If the 'Dragon King' magic hadn't automatically purified that drowsiness, I probably would have collapsed too.
Clear footsteps are approaching; are they the enemy...?
Hope conjured a dragon spear in his hand, but frowned as he looked at the figure who walked through the gate, completely shrouded in mist.
Because he had seen this guy before, when he was delivering medicine to Granny Poliusica.
Mystogan, one of the S-class rank members of Fairy Tail.
Chapter 92 Introversion and Rebellion
Tap...tap...tap...
Light footsteps echoed through the hall, paused briefly in front of the order board, and then turned toward the counter.
Mister Gang, who was completely covered up, was slightly taken aback when he saw Hope in front of the counter. His eyes, the only part of his body that was exposed, flashed with surprise.
Even Erza couldn't withstand her own hypnotic magic, but this newcomer, whom she had met briefly outside Granny Polyushica's house, was able to remain conscious.
The world is indeed far too complex.
Mister Gang, habitually keeping his mask pulled tight, waved the commission slip he had just torn from the commission board at Hope, "Tell Mirajane for me that I've accepted this commission."
His voice was deep and slightly hoarse, just like when they first met, he used a falsetto.
Hope glanced at the order form, then looked back at Mistgang, who was wearing a dark cloak, beneath which his body was tightly wrapped in bandages, not an inch of skin was exposed.
If it weren't for the fact that covering his eyes would make movement difficult, Hope suspects that this guy probably even had his eyes covered.
So, just how shameful is he...?
However, Hope felt he had seen the tattoo on Mister Gang’s right eye somewhere before, but because the tattoo was partially covered by his mask and difficult to identify, he did not think of investigating it further.
With practiced ease, Hope retrieved the register from behind the counter and meticulously recorded Mrstergan's details, the commissions he had accepted, and the dates.
As he wrote, Hope complained, "Seriously, Mystogan, you just came here to take on a mission, did you really have to put everyone to sleep?"
Mr. Gang remained silent in response to Hope's complaints, showing no intention of replying. However, another voice came from the second floor directly above the counter.
"Because Mistgang is a very introverted person."
"He gets very shy if other people see his face."
Hope looked up at the sound and saw a young man with short yellow hair wearing a black cloak leaning against the railing of the second-floor corridor of the guild, smoking.
He had a lightning bolt-shaped mark on his right cheek, wore a pair of unconventional headphones with an unremarkable design, and had an arrogant expression, exuding a rebellious and defiant aura.
Laxus Dole.
One of the five S-class guild members of Fairy Tail, a top powerhouse among the younger generation of the guild, and also Makarov's grandson.
Hope frowned.
When Mirajane introduced him to her guildmates before, she specifically mentioned Laxus because this guy always showed no mercy to the weak.
Laxus shares some similarities with Gajeel's personality in Spectre; while he doesn't constantly hurl insults at people, he is far more arrogant.
Because he has the right to be arrogant.
Feeling Hope's scrutinizing gaze, Laxus exhaled a smoke ring. "You're Hope? You've been making quite a stir in the guild lately. I heard you fought Joseph and even crippled one of his legs with Erza."
At this point, Laxus's lips curled into a provocative smile. "Not bad, now you're qualified to be my stepping stone."
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a golden lightning bolt shot out without warning, heading straight for Hope.
Without any warning or reason, Laxus attacked his comrade.
Just before Hope raised her hand to retaliate, a wand suddenly swung out, knocking the lightning away. The wall next to her suffered an undeserved fate as a result, leaving a charred patch amidst the crackling sound of the lightning.
Mystogan withdrew his wand and looked up, his gaze meeting Laxus's in mid-air. "This is the guild, not a battlefield. Everyone in the hall is a comrade, not an enemy."
"Ha, do you think I care about the life or death of the weak?"
Laxus spoke indifferently, his gaze sweeping over Mystogan with undisguised fighting spirit, "As for you, Mystogan, when are you willing to have a proper fight with me? Once I defeat you, all that will be left is Gildarts."
He opened his arms, and his voice echoed in the hall.
"Whether it's that drunkard, you, Erza, or Mirajane... I will never give up the throne of Fairy Tail's strongest to any of you!"
"I am the strongest!"
This declaration of being twenty feet tall made Hope secretly facepalm.
What's the point of fighting for the title of the strongest mage in Fairy Tail? If you're going to do something, be the strongest, become the strongest on the continent of Ishgar, become the strongest in this world!
Mystogan tucked his wand under his cloak. He was already used to Laxus's childish remarks. He turned to Hope and whispered, "I'm leaving now."
Seeing Mystergan leave without looking back, Hope thought he had forgotten to dispel the hypnotic spell on everyone and was about to cast a purification spell on his companions when he heard Mystergan counting down.
"Five...four...three...two...one..."
As the final number fell, Mystergang walked out of the guild gate, his figure disappearing without a trace in the sudden rise of smoke.
At the same time, everyone in the hall seemed to wake up from a dream, rubbing their eyes and stretching.
