A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

For most of the afternoon, everyone listened quietly as Kira rambled on about the power levels of "weak shield," "normal shield," "high shield," and "double shield."

They were so angry they wanted to smash the table!

Who categorizes mages like this?

While it's true that the classification system in anime like 'Fairy Tail', which only distinguishes between S-class and ordinary mages, is too simplistic, going so far as to include weak, medium, and high-class mages is just too strange!

"Don't look at me like that! My intelligence is very accurate!"

Kira shrugged, his attitude serious and his expression earnest. "Even a difference of just one small level can make a world of difference in strength. It's the same theory as a girl's breasts."

Makarov: "..."

Gildas: I see!

Others: ?

Seeing everyone's reactions, Kira nodded silently to himself: As expected, I am the best candidate to succeed the fourth chairman!

Laxus or Erza are no good; their moral character is terrible! It's a disgrace and a disgrace to the family that these two haven't inherited even a fraction of the guild master's noble character!

The group had no time to complain about Kira's unreliability; instead, they focused intently on the information he had provided and silently devised a battle plan.

"I never expected it would be related to Jelf."

Precito frowned, his expression grave, and he murmured unconsciously, "August's calamity, the Magic King, August; Scarlet Despair, the Ultimate Enhancement Sorcerer, Irene."

"The two pillars of the Alvarez Empire... You say their strength far surpasses Serena's, but by how much exactly?"

Kira casually touched his hair: "Well... it's probably just me and Happy..."

Everyone was instantly terrified: !!

"Sorry, sorry... I overdid it! It's probably the difference between me and Kana."

Kana was furious: What the hell do you mean?!

Everyone glanced at Kana discreetly, then sighed nonchalantly, "Is that so... This is troublesome..."

Kana: "..."

With so many people watching, Cana couldn't act recklessly. She just glared fiercely at Kira, indicating that she would settle the score with him later.

Regarding the Twin Walls, Kira only mentioned their specific magic and approximate strength, but did not reveal their identities. He was considering whether he should reveal them at this time and in this place.

After all, it concerns Mavis's image and Erza's feelings.

Kira believes there's still hope for August. He's just an old man who lacks love, and he only stayed in the Alvarez Empire because of his father, Zeref. If they appeal to his family ties, they might be able to get things sorted out.

After all, judging from the current length of the text, this old man is not a particularly wicked person.

But Erin's situation is more complicated. After experiencing a series of events including selfless sacrifice, being betrayed, and losing her "humanity," her heart has been completely closed off. Even if she plays Erza's card, it may not work.

Furthermore, although Erza is kind, Kira knows her well enough to know that when facing enemies of the guild, this kind woman will not hesitate to act without hesitation, and will not tell them that she "can't bring herself to harm her own family."

……

The meeting ended a little over half an hour later.

When the true nature of 'Fairy Heart' was revealed to everyone, those who were unaware of it before were stunned.

Mavis's body, Ankhseram's curse, endless magic... everything sounds so unreal, but it really happened, and that thing was sealed in the original guild's basement.

After processing the news, Laxus and the others left with serious expressions. Judging from their demeanor, they seemed to be making the most of their limited time to cram in magic and organize various combat necessities.

Looks like he's been provoked...

Kira thought to himself, then looked at the three elderly people who remained there—the four of them hadn't left because Kira had something important to tell them.

"Can you tell me now?"

Once the four of them were alone in the room, Makarov finally spoke up and asked, "What is it? Since you've deliberately waited until now to tell me, it must be something that can't be easily known, right?"

"yes……"

Kira pondered for a moment, as if he had made a major decision, then looked up at the three of them: "What I'm about to say is about the Magic King Augustus, whom I just mentioned!"

Chapter 478 The Best Candidate

"The Magic King..."

What happened to him?

Seeing Kira's serious expression, the three couldn't help but feel suspicious: Besides his immense strength, what else was special about him? Could he be related to Kira in some way?

Kira observed the three men's reactions, and since it involved Mavis and Zeref, he decided to be more tactful.

So as they raised their cups to drink tea, Kira suddenly spoke up and said, "The Magic King is the child of Mavis and Zeref."

"Pfft—!!!" ×3

Precht, Volod, and Makarov were all startled, spitting out mouthfuls of tea onto the table. They stared in disbelief at Kira, who had dropped this bombshell, and exclaimed in shock, "What did you say?!"

Mavis is still just a little kid!

No, I should say her body is still that of a child!! And wasn't she sealed inside the magic crystal? How could she have a child?! Could it have been before that?

Makarov looked on with suspicion, focusing his gaze on the two senior figures beside him.

But Warlord was equally bewildered: Mavis has a child? With Jelf? When did this happen? How come I didn't know! What did I miss?

So he set his sights on Precito, who was most likely to know all this. After all, Precito was the second generation, the last person Mavis saw before she died, and he was the one who sealed Mavis's body into the magic crystal.

From any perspective, he should know the most.

Precito was more shocked than anyone else. As the last person to deal with Mavis's body, he naturally knew that this legal loli had a child with Zeref, since he was the one who delivered the baby. But he had never mentioned this to anyone else, so no one else should know.

He never imagined that, due to the immense magical power inherited from his parents, Auguste possessed extraordinary intelligence and memory from birth. Even as an infant, he learned his parents' names from Precito, and later learned more about them from others.

August experienced a difficult and bumpy childhood, and by chance, he was taken in by Zeref and became the current leader of the 'Twelve Shields'.

From this perspective, the Magic King actually has a lot of potential to join Fairy Tail, because he is an orphan and has had a tragic past.

Born an orphan, with a tragic childhood, possessing extraordinary talent and superb magic, and having a pair of awesome parents, he is exactly the protagonist configuration of a certain orphanage novel, except for not having a harem.

After listening to Kira's story, Precito curled his lip with a strange expression: I thought it was a secret that only I knew, but it turns out I've run into two people with cheat codes!

Who can stand this?

"I never imagined that something like this would happen back then, and I was completely unaware of it..."

Wolode sighed, his tone tinged with regret and remorse.

In his view, if he had known about this at the time, he would have stopped Precito from abandoning the child, and the current relationship would not have happened.

Kira understood, silently thinking to himself: Who told you to be so busy with the harvest festival back then...?

After hearing this, the group remained silent. Kira had no choice but to continue, "That's how it is. Do you think there's any hope?"

"Hope? What do you mean?" Makarov was still a little confused.

Anyone who suddenly hears of such an existence would be unable to remain calm for a while. Kira felt the same way when he first saw this scene, especially when August left the stage, he felt an overwhelming sense of regret.

Fortunately, there is still room for maneuver.

"Of course, we should play the family card and have the first generation take action!"

Kira said matter-of-factly, "If we could get the First Generation to personally persuade Zeref and the Magic King, we might be able to avoid this war!"

"Do you understand, Chairman? The most suitable negotiator isn't you, it's the First Generation!"

"Now that I've finished speaking, who agrees with this idea, and who disagrees?" Kira sat back down, looking at the three of them with a leisurely air.

As the chief of intelligence, his job is to provide intelligence. He offers suggestions based on his status as the future chairman. As for making decisions, that is the chairman's job.

This is similar to working in a company. Subordinates only do their job, and the boss makes the decisions when there are problems. If something goes wrong in the end, the boss will bear the main responsibility.

Makarov lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

He knew that Kira's suggestion might be the best approach, but disturbing the deceased's rest seemed inappropriate, especially since the other party was the founder of the guild.

Precito and Volod were also weighing their options, but they had more to consider.

The biggest concern is that if the negotiations fail and Mebis is detained by the other side, it would be adding insult to injury for them.

After a long silence, Precito spoke up: "I think it's necessary to inform Mavis about this matter. Let her decide whether to go or not!"

The way you put it, you've really grasped the essence of shifting blame...

Kira sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that someone who had been a boss really spoke differently!

The suggestion was eventually agreed upon by the other two, and they unanimously decided to set off together the next day for Sirius Island to talk to Mavis's spirit.

Mavis is currently in the form of a ghost, not a thought form.

Both are products of magic and spiritual power, but in different proportions.

The biggest difference is that ghosts are usually invisible to people. People in the guild can see Mavis because they have the guild crest on them; thought entities can be seen and touched. In the end, they are just magical creations that can be eliminated at any time.

To Kira's surprise, Precht had left the guild 49 years ago and even formed 'Grimoire Heart', yet he still had the 'Fairy Tail' guild crest on him.

what is this?

How can one person get two guild crests tattooed at the same time?

Hmph! What a fickle old man!

……

The next day, on Sirius Island, four figures set foot on this remote island far overseas.

A year has passed, and the place has been restored to its former glory.

The sun shines brightly, the trees are lush and green, and the shadows are layered. What comes into view is a picture scroll painted with three colors: gold, green, and light ink. The salty sea breeze caresses your face, carrying the fragrance of the island's soil, which smells better than the newest perfumes in Magnolia's most popular perfume shop. The calls of unknown birds can be heard, chaotic but you can feel their joy, as if they can arouse a desire for adventure, making you unconsciously yearn to go there and explore.

"It's been restored so well...you can't tell it ever went through such a war."

Upon arriving on the island, Kira felt full of energy, as if all negative buffs had been dispelled and purified. He was bathed in holy light, feeling warm and comfortable, and a strange sense of security welled up in his heart.

"Oh ho ho ho... Nothing's changed here..."

Upon returning to Sirius Island after a long absence, Warlord was in high spirits. Like a child moving into a new home, he ran around everywhere, looking at this and touching that, and tending to the island's green plants and flowers.

"Why does it feel like the buffs on the island are more noticeable than when I came last year? Is it because the guild's buffs are stronger? Or am I just able to sense more of them now?"
