A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Seeing that Happy was speechless, Charlene stepped forward and asked, "Do you have precognitive abilities like me? Why are you so sure that Acnologia will appear?"

"Hmm...maybe so!" Kira really couldn't explain this.

Wendy quickly asked, "Charlene, did you foresee something?"

Everyone turned their attention to Sharuru. Compared to Kira's "information" of unknown origin, Sharuru's "precognition" ability was more convincing.

Seeing this, Kira sighed, "Precognition is more reliable than intelligence; this really fits the setting of magic!"

Xia Lulu was silent for a moment before explaining to everyone, "Indeed! Several days ago, I had a premonition that something might go wrong during this assessment, but I only had a blurry image. I rushed over because I was worried about it."

"After arriving here, I thought the premonition was due to the 'Heart of the Devil' or the 'Gates of the Underworld,' but now that they have been resolved, the scene I foresaw has not appeared."

"So what did you foresee?"

"The scene of everyone lying on the ground, severely injured; the enormous black wings that blotted out the sky; the holy light descending from the heavens; the shattered sky; and Sirius Island, half of which was destroyed..."

After listening to Charlotte's words, Kira began to analyze them one by one: "If nothing unexpected happens, Black Wing is Acnologia, and Holy Light should be some kind of magic."

"And what about the shattered sky?"

"I don't know!" Kira shook his head, unable to think of any magic that could shatter the sky. "Why don't we ask the First Generation?"

Everyone was taken aback: "Huh? Ask...who do you mean to ask?"

Kira looked up at the sky: "First Generation! Do you have any thoughts on this?"

A soft, lively girl's voice rang out: "Oh dear! We've been discovered!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and were astonished to find a girl with long golden hair, wearing a white dress, and with feathers and wings on her head sitting on a tree above them, swinging her bare feet and smiling at them.

Don't overthink it! Even from this angle, you can't see anything!

Mavis lightly jumped down, then approached Kira, her large green eyes staring intently into Kira's eyes, as if she could see through his disguise and into his soul.

But Kira is a genuinely honest and kind young man, true to his heart and soul! Why would he be afraid of that kind of gaze?

So he simply closed his eyes, not even letting Mebius glance at him, and said indifferently, "Looking at things this close will give you strabismus!"

Mavis scrutinized Kira for a few seconds, then chuckled and stepped back: "Precht is right! You really are an excellent young man!"

Makarov stared in shock at the girl before him, stammering out her identity: "The... the First Generation..."

"Eh??!!!"

"First generation?!"

"child?!"

Mavis seemed to have anticipated this reaction, and simply smiled: "That's right! I am Mavis Viviamilio, the founder and first guild master of Fairy Tail!"

Chapter 355 The Dragon Arrives

"Was she really the first president? The president?"

Makarov nodded stiffly: "Yes! Although I haven't seen it in person, I have seen its portrait in the guild!"

Everyone was shocked: "The First Generation was actually a child?"

"I'm just affected by magic and can't grow up!"

Mavis explained, walking around the group on her own. In just a few words, she took in all the data about everyone's reactions, expressions, and magical fluctuations.

"You've managed the guild brilliantly, third generation!"

Overwhelmed by the affirmation of his predecessors, Makarov trembled with excitement, his face beaming with joy, forgetting all the anxiety and trepidation he had felt just a minute earlier: "Truly...truly..."

"But wasn't the first one already dead?"

"I am indeed dead, and now I exist in the form of a ghost."

Kana asked, "Then what about the 'Radiance' that you lent me at the gravesite before...?"

“It’s definitely me!” Mavis laughed. “I was originally thinking of lending it to you to deal with the enemy, but it seems I’ve gone to the wrong place. ‘Radiance’ hasn’t served its purpose…”

"No way! It came in handy in the end!" Kana hurriedly waved her hand.

“If you’re talking about that Netherworld Beast, you can defeat it even without ‘Radiance’! You don’t need ‘Radiance’ at all; you can do it with your own power…”

Kira interrupted Mavis's praise and said quietly, "Well... I think Cana really needs 'Radiance'! She's already a new S-rank mage in the guild, so why don't we just teach her that spell?"

Mavis thought about it seriously and said, "Hmm... it's not impossible, she has the talent!"

"Oh!! Really?" Kana exclaimed, her eyes shining brightly.

After assuring Cana that he could teach her 'Radiance', Mavis sat down with Kira, Makarov, and Gildarts to discuss their upcoming battle strategy.

Kira didn't ask why Mavis was showing up at this time, nor did he care where Zeref had gone. In his opinion, nothing was more important than the upcoming Acnologia.

"Come on! We have the enemy's intelligence. Now it's up to you, Fairy Strategist!" Kira flattered Mavis. "Or is it that strategy is useless against absolute power?"

Mavis stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "You said you previously succeeded in using the 'fear of vehicles' to deal with Acnologia. Perhaps this is the turning point!"

I know that too! So what exactly do we do? Just charge in? But that little bit of attack is like a tickle to it! And knowing what happened last time, it definitely won't land easily, making it even more difficult!

Mavis, brimming with confidence, patted his unremarkable chest: "Leave it to me!"

ten minutes later……

Mavis hugged her knees, curling up like a ghost, looking down at the ground, tears welling in her eyes, her face flushed. She was like this because she couldn't think of any way to deal with Acnologia, and could only vent her emotions by crying, even resorting to begging for forgiveness by acting cute.

"Sigh... the 'Fairy Strategist' brand is doomed from now on!"

Kira muttered a complaint under his breath, but Mavis heard it clearly, and buried her head in her arms in even more shame.

Actually, it's not her fault. Mavis earned the title of "Fairy Strategist" because she demonstrated amazing analytical, judgmental, command, and calculation abilities during the Second Trade War. However, these abilities were completely useless in high-level battles between mages.

There's a saying that "humans can never be calculated." Even if Mavis is very talented in magic and can accurately calculate the consumption of each person and each spell, how can she easily control the strategies, traps, and changes in the thoughts and emotions of both sides during battle?

In the Grand Magic Games arc of the original manga, Mavis, through her unique fighting style and strategic planning, enabled Fairy Tail to surpass the scores of other guilds on the final day of the competition.

But in reality, Mavis neither foresaw the three-way battle between Erza, Kagura, and Minerva, nor the three-way battle between Laxus, Jura, and Olga—with such a performance, does she really deserve the title of 'Fairy Strategist'?

Kira thinks it's all Mashima's fault! All he does is come up with wild ideas, sell fanservice, and create emotional scenes, but he doesn't have much talent in those areas.

Before long, a dark, vast, extreme, and malevolent magical force appeared within Kira's perception range. First came the oppressive magical aura emanating from an unknown distance, followed by a familiar roar.

The undisguised malice immediately put everyone on high alert.

Kira stood up and gazed at the clouds in the night sky, where he could vaguely see the changing clouds in the distant high sky: "It seems... they're coming!"

This was his second time facing Acnologia, and with the experience from their previous encounter, he was much calmer this time.

Makarov's expression turned serious as he asked Kira in a deep voice, "Are you confident?"

"To be honest, not many!" Kira shook his head. "If we really can't win in the end, then we'll have to trouble the First Generation to use the 'Fairy Ball'!"

"..."

So, I'm just here for registration?

Mavis's expression was grave, and she nodded silently.

"W-what happened?"

"That's the sound of a dragon?!"

"It's Acnologia!!!"

Natsu and the others had fought Acnologia before, so they quickly reacted, got up from the ground, and prepared for battle.

The increasingly clear and louder dragon roar, accompanied by the howling wind, reached everyone's ears. Then, a gale swept in, and enormous black wings obscured the moonlight, shrouding Sirius Island in shadow once more.

“It really…it really is a dragon…” Levy trembled all over, staring blankly at the enormous creature in the sky, cold sweat pouring down her face.

Finally, Acnologia, which had been hovering in the air, seemed to have found its target. With a flick of its tail, it swooped down and landed on Tenrou Island.

boom……

It made an astonishing noise as soon as it landed.

The dragon's claws shattered rocks and split the earth, stirring up countless plumes of dust; its roar broke through rocks and pierced the clouds, deafeningly loud.

Even the long-standing erosion of Tianlang Island, which had just been attacked by two major dark guilds, seemed unable to support its weight; the earth was turned into tofu dregs and crushed into ashes, and the trees were as if made of paper, uprooted by the black wings with a single flap.

The so-called natural forces appear so vulnerable in the face of absolute power.

"You guys really knew how to escape from it last time!"

"How exactly do we defeat this kind of enemy?"

The black dragon stood high above, its crimson eyes gazing down at the crowd. The darkness of the night amplified its murderous intent, making everyone tremble with fear and dare not utter a sound.

Just then, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "Leave it to us!!"

It's Natsu! Standing beside him are Gajeel, Wendy, and Laxus, who just woke up!

"We are Dragon Slayer Mages! Our magic exists for this day!! Defeating Acnologia is our duty!!!"

This brief yet inspiring speech quickly calmed the anxieties of the others, boosted morale, and gave everyone the courage to face their fears.

"I...I will try my best..."

"Have some confidence in yourself, Wendy!"

"Well said, Natsu!"

"Hehehe... If I can defeat it, how about giving me the S-rank title?"

"Wow!! I'm fired up!"

"We managed to escape from it last time, and we can do it again this time... No! We've gotten stronger. With so many of us attacking together, we might actually be able to defeat it!"

Good heavens! Who on earth is so confident?

As the sounds grew increasingly absurd, Kira silently complained, but stepped to the front and looked up into Acnologia's eyes.

The other person was also looking down at Kira, his eyes filled with disdain, amusement, and an almost imperceptible arrogance.
