After imparting his knowledge to Hope, Robin didn't forget the others. "Everyone, if there's anything about magic that you don't understand, I can take this opportunity to explain it to you."

Upon hearing this peerless expert from over 400 years ago speak, everyone eagerly sought his advice, and each person gained something, gaining a deeper understanding of their own magic.

However, Robin gave Natsu extra instructions, urging him to hone his willpower and never exhaust his magic power completely, otherwise a terrifying being would appear.

Although Natsu didn't understand, he agreed because of Robin's serious expression.

After giving instructions to everyone, another twenty minutes passed.

Everyone tacitly agreed to leave the last bit of time to Wendy and Charlotte.

This time, the little girl and the white kitten, who were well-prepared, did not cry or fuss. They simply held Robin's hands, one on each side, just like two granddaughters accompanying their grandfather.

Accompanied by Wendy and Charlo, Robin took one last walk around the small village, the birthplace of the Nebite tribe and the final resting place of the last Nebite 400 years ago.

Now, this guy who's been dead for ages can finally let go.

Robin's thoughts, filled with relief, completely transformed into countless golden specks of light, like starlight flowing against the current, slowly rising into the azure sky.

The light gently brushed across Wendy and Charlotte's cheeks, carrying the freshness of grass and the warmth of the sun, before finally dissipating in the breeze.

"Go forward, children, your future has just begun..."

Chapter 153 The Fairy's New Wings

The square was silent except for Wendy's suppressed sobs.

She knelt on the grass, her small shoulders trembling slightly. In order to let Chairman Robin leave with a smile, she had been holding back her tears, and only now did she dare to release the sadness that had been building up in her heart.

Charlotte hugged Wendy tightly, her soft fur brushing against Wendy's damp cheeks.

Mystergan's footsteps landed silently beside them.

Wendy looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, and met those familiar eyes.

Seven years ago, it was these very eyes that found her shivering and helpless in the forest. Seven years later, that same gentleness remains unchanged, as if time has never altered anything.

"elder brother......"

Wendy choked back tears and threw herself into Mr. Gang's arms, her fingers clutching his collar tightly. "Grandpa Chairman is gone...he's really gone..."

Mystogan gently wiped away the little girl's tears with his fingers and patted her back tenderly. "Senior Robin has fulfilled her wish and seen the future she wanted to see."

"He left with a sense of satisfaction."

"You've been so strong, Wendy. Don't worry, cry it out. You don't have to bear the pain of being separated from your loved ones alone. We're all here with you."

Wendy buried her face in Mistergan's chest, tears soaking her clothes, finally unable to hold back any longer, and let out the grief of Robin's departure.

After a long while, seeing that Wendy had calmed down, the group boarded the Christina and returned to the Woodland Wasteland where the ancient city was located.

This wonder and magic, built by the Nebit people to escape war, should now return to the earth.

With Hope's "Great Tree Arc," Jura's "Rock" magic, and Richard's "Earth" magic working together, the massive ancient city was once again swallowed by the earth and buried deep underground.

Under the influence of the "plant" magic, a tender sprout broke through the soil and grew and stretched at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming in the blink of an eye into a towering tree with lush branches and leaves, swaying gently in the breeze.

Hope used the newly deciphered 'Rock' magic to erect a stone tablet under the big tree.

—This is to be remembered by the people of love and peace—the Demon Cat's Abode and friends.

The deceased are gone, and the living must look forward.

After the memorial service, Mystogan invited Wendy and Charlene to join Fairy Tail.

Because of Mystergan, Wendy naturally agreed without any surprise, and Charlotte went wherever Wendy went.

Despite the fact that such a gifted child chose Fairy Tail, Jura and Ichiya did not feel disappointed.

Leo, Sherry, and the host club trio exchanged a knowing smile.

Like Blue Pegasus and Fairy Tail, Boa Hancock never valued strength or potential, but rather the unbreakable bond between companions.

Although they cannot belong to the same guild, the friendship between the three guilds has become even stronger as a result.

Suddenly, Wendy struck what she thought was a cool, exaggerated pose: "To celebrate Wendy joining Fairy Tail, and to commemorate Guild Master Robin and the Cat Lord! Come on, ladies and gentlemen, let's jump!"

The three male escorts: "Oh!"

As the 'Ancient Scripture' was activated, a powerful melody began to play, and the three members of the Nightclub and the host club resumed their unfinished celebratory dance.

Although the actions throughout the night were still comical, this time, no one felt embarrassed or wanted to stop it.

Natsu pulled Happy along, and Lucy, looking unwilling, started swaying wildly with them. Gray kept saying "idiot," but his body honestly swayed slightly to the rhythm.

As the atmosphere gradually became more lively, even a serious person like Jura put aside his dignity and imitated the host trio's dance moves in a very proper manner.

Seeing this, Hope leaned against a tree trunk, arms crossed, a faint smile on her face.

Erza glanced at him unintentionally, and their eyes met.

Hope blinked and suggested softly, "Why don't we go dance too? In my hometown, we call it 'square dancing,' and it's very popular."

"No."

Erza turned her head away, her ears turning slightly red. Then she suddenly realized that she had rejected him too quickly, as if she disliked Hope. So she tried to make amends by saying, "What is square dancing? I've never heard of it before."

"Oh, it's just a recreational activity for some elderly people in my hometown. They get together and exercise to music."

Erza turned her head and squinted. "So you're saying I'm old?"

"No, no, I just think it's nice to relax once in a while." Seeing the red-haired girl pout in dissatisfaction, Hope smiled and raised his hands in surrender, but in reality, he couldn't dance at all...

Amidst this cheerful rhythm, a group of uninvited guests arrived, accompanied by a cacophony of footsteps, and a magical spell enveloped them.

Hope stopped Erza from drawing her sword and looked towards the woods not far away. "It's the law enforcement, who always arrive at the last minute in the story."

Following his gaze, Erza quickly spotted a group of soldiers in Magic Council uniforms, led by a "familiar face" she had met briefly at the regular meeting.

The leader of the council's forces looked serious. "I am Lahar, the commander-in-chief of the newly formed council and the forceful oversight force."

"Oh no! The council has arrived!"

Natsu's expression changed. He grabbed Happy with one hand and pulled Lucy tighter with the other. "Let's run!"

Lucy looked at Natsu, who had crashed into the spell and bounced back, and said with a helpless expression, "Natsu, we haven't caused any trouble lately..."

"Oh! Lucy is right, we haven't done anything bad."

Natsu abruptly stopped his charge, then slapped his forehead in realization. "Right, we're fighting on orders this time, we're the good guys, what do I have to be ashamed of?"

Everyone looked at Natsu, who had finally come to his senses, and sighed in exasperation.

Just how much destruction did this guy cause that he would instinctively try to run away upon seeing the Council's forces...?

Hope slowly walked out of the spell blocking Natsu and said to Laharl like an old friend, "Congratulations on your promotion. After the council was reorganized, you are now the number one person after the council members. By the way, where is Doran Balt?"

"He led other teams to handle other matters."

Rahal adjusted his glasses, revealing nothing more, but his tense expression eased slightly; he had a good impression of Hope.

Hope nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Lahar was originally just the captain of one of the council's combat units, but now he has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the council's forceful oversight forces.

As for his deputy, Doranbart, also known as Meester, his status naturally rose accordingly.

Given Mester's current position, it probably won't be long before she gets the information Makarov wants.

What intelligence could possibly lead his old man to take such a dangerous step as sending an undercover agent into the council...?

Chapter 154 Misunderstanding

Just as Hope was wondering what the mysterious information could be, Lahar stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the group shrouded in the spell, finally settling on Richard.

"Our purpose here is to arrest the Oración Seis. Please hand them over, starting with that guy codenamed 'Hot Eye'."

"Wait a moment."

Jura looked at Lahar. Although they hadn't spent much time together, he had already accepted this repentant enemy. "Lahar, Richard has reformed and made contributions in this operation. Could you...?"

Lahar shook his head expressionlessly. "The Speaker and the council members take this operation very seriously. I have no right to interfere with the trial of the Oración Seis."

“Mr. Jura,” Richard gently pressed Jura’s shoulder and shook his head.

Jura immediately thought of her position as an advisor to the freshman council. If she could use this connection, she might be able to reduce Richard's punishment.

Richard, however, pressed down on Jura's shoulder. "Mr. Jura, I appreciate your kindness, but even if I repent now, the crimes I committed will not disappear."

"I want to receive the judgment I deserve, and then... start anew."

Jura looked at Richard deeply and gave him an understanding smile. "Richard, if one day you have atoneed for your sins and have nowhere to go, please remember that the gates of our Serpent Scale will always be open for you."

"Thank you."

Richard bowed slightly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

With the last weight lifted from his heart, Richard was finally able to let go of everything. He gave Jura the book he always carried with him and turned to walk calmly toward the Council's army.

Lahar gestured for the soldiers behind him to come forward, and magical shackles were fastened to Richard's wrists. He did not resist, but only glanced back at the crowd in the square.

Those mages who were enemies not long ago are now looking at him with concern.

"Let's go."

Lahar spoke very politely, but Richard's words had made him look at this dark mage with a different eye.

Then, at midnight, Wu, extremely weak, followed.

Sora broke her Celestial Spirit Contract and gave her Celestial Spirit Key to Lucy.

Then, at midnight, Wu, extremely weak, followed.

Sora released her Celestial Spirit Contract and handed her Celestial Spirit Key to Lucy. "I'm not a good Celestial Spirit Mage. I hope you can treat them well. If you can, please tell Aries that I'm sorry..."

Lucy looked at the three Celestial Spirits and a Silver Key that had appeared in her hand, and then looked up at Sora, who was already handcuffed.

"I will definitely treat these Protoss companions well, and... thank you."

Sora paused, but did not turn around. She simply walked silently toward the council's prison van.

Five of the Oración Seis left decisively, but Eric hesitated.

He gritted his teeth, pulled the giant purple snake, Chuberios, off his body, and looked at the crowd with a pleading expression. "Chuberios is only here to assist my dragon-slaying magic. It hasn't taken any lives like I have. I beg you to take it in..."
