The members of the Fairy Tail guild fell silent. To be honest, they did dislike the Phantom Lord guild, but they never intended to disband it.
After all, they are all legitimate unions. While there may be frictions, they never intended to leave the other party homeless or without a job.
Qi Yan said, "Alright, don't worry about it so much. It's their business to disband their guild. We can't interfere, and there's no need for us to. We just need to do our own thing."
The guild members nodded in agreement upon hearing Qi Yan's words. Indeed, if they had been the ones who lost the previous match, the Ghost Dominator would have been even more arrogant.
They disbanded their guild because they couldn't accept defeat; it has nothing to do with them.
After everyone went to work, Qi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. In his impression, Joseph was not the kind of man who would willingly suffer such a great loss.
Who knows what kind of revenge he might take against Fairy Tail in the future? But he doesn't need to worry too much about it. Joseph can't beat him now, and he'll be even less able to beat him in the future.
Magic Council ERA
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—whoosh whoosh—whoosh whoosh..."
At the branch trial meeting, Makarov fell asleep standing on the judge's bench.
This infuriated many of the council members. In the sacred courtroom, right in front of so many of them, a magic council member was sleeping soundly. This was blatant disregard for them.
"Mr...Mr. Makarov?"
"The trial is currently underway... Were you asleep just now?"
Makarov scratched his head awkwardly, his eyes darting around: "No way! Oh ho ho ho ho ho!!"
"The verdict will now be announced..."
After the trial, Makarov sat down with his friend Yakima.
"I never expected that Fairy Tail would be found innocent in this case. To be honest, I was prepared to be put in solitary confinement."
Makarov was in a good mood after hearing the verdict. After all, this incident had caused quite a stir. Although Qi Yan's method bypassed the rules of the Magic Council, it did indeed have a retaliatory intent.
In addition to the damage caused to Onibas City, the Magic Council ultimately decided to withhold Fairy Tail's prize money from the competition without imposing any further punishment, which was the best possible outcome for Fairy Tail.
"Thank me, Old Ma, I did my best to defend you."
"I won't thank you enough, Aki. Once the guild is set up, I'll invite you to come and play, and I'll treat you to Fairy Ramen."
Makarov thanked Yakima, saying that the two had known each other since childhood, and now, almost eighty years later, their friendship was naturally very deep.
"Fairy Ramen, add 12 pieces of char siu."
"12 yuan? Isn't that too much?"
"Really? Then I won't speak up for you next time."
"Okay, okay!! 20 yuan, 30 yuan, it's all yours!!"
As the guild master, he knew better than anyone how much trouble Fairy Tail could cause. Who knew when the next trouble would happen? All these years, he was only grateful to his friend Akima for protecting him in the council; otherwise, Fairy Tail might have been forcibly disbanded by the council long ago.
"Twelve pieces of char siu will suffice. However, Old Ma, the council has been paying close attention to the trouble Fairy Tail has caused lately. Michael and Og even suggested disbanding Fairy Tail. If this continues, you will be severely punished one day. You should retire as soon as possible; your body won't be able to handle it."
As Makarov's friend, Yakima knew that Makarov's heart had long been in trouble and had been kept alive by potions prepared by Polyusica. Intense emotional fluctuations could easily lead to problems, and he might have a serious accident one day.
Makarov remained silent. He was well aware of these matters, but he couldn't bear to leave the guild and its members. As a father, he had to protect them so they could grow up happily. This was indeed a matter that needed to be addressed.
"I'll think about it carefully."
Chapter 111 Laxus's Ambition
"Everyone!! Work resumes today!"
"Even though this is a temporary information desk, everyone should work hard!"
Mira announced with an inspiring and warm smile as she stood at the makeshift counter.
With the Magic Council's ruling, Fairy Tail was finally allowed to resume normal operations.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
"I have a job! I have a job!!"
Upon hearing that they could work, the guild members all rushed to the quest board like madmen and began selecting their own tasks.
"What's wrong with you? You usually act all relaxed while drinking."
Seeing everyone's appearance, Lucy couldn't help but complain. She had been a member of the guild for some time now, and her daily work board was almost overflowing with requests. None of them did any work; all they did when they came to the guild was drink.
Mira laughed, "Hahaha! After all, they haven't worked for a long time, and they're all broke!"
She knew everyone in the guild very well; they were all the type who would enjoy life as long as they had some money, and would only go to work when they were almost broke. During this period of unemployment, their savings had long been gone, and no one could bear the days without money.
"Mira, do you have any S-level jobs?"
Qi Yan also hurriedly came to Mira and asked her. He had just checked the commission board and found that all the jobs were below S-level, which he was not interested in.
Mira shook her head: "S-rank tasks may take a few more days. Because of what happened before, the guild distributed the tasks to other guilds. We have only just regained the qualification to accept tasks. Even if there are S-rank tasks, we will have to wait for a while."
"If you want to do quests, there are actually several high-reward bounty quests here."
The rewards for high-level raiding missions are not much different from those for S-rank missions. Completing three or four of them is roughly equivalent to the reward of one S-rank mission.
"No! Then forget it, I'll wait a bit longer!"
He is very interested in money, but even more interested in S-rank missions. No matter how high the reward offered by the raiding system is, it will be counted as an A-rank mission in the system, and the reward will only be one chance to draw a prize.
So he'd better wait if he could. He didn't want an S-rank mission to come along while he was doing an A-rank mission, only to have it taken by Laxus or Mystogan. He'd regret it terribly if that happened.
Qi Yan waved his hand, then found a place to sit down and drink.
Why is Qi Yan so obsessed with S-rank missions? Is it just because the rewards for S-rank missions are high?
Lucy was a little curious.
"Nobody knows for sure. Maybe he just really prefers doing S-rank missions."
Mira wasn't sure either, but she could tell that Qi Yan's attitude towards S-level missions was completely different from his attitude towards other missions.
Just as Qi Yan was drinking, a very unexpected figure sat down opposite him.
The newcomer was dressed in a gold leopard-print outfit, had golden hair, wore headphones, and had an expression that said "I'm the best in the world." He was none other than Laxus, one of the S-class mages from Fairy Tail.
Qi Yan was surprised that Laxus would come and talk to him. He had been in Fairy Tail for almost a year and had met Laxus a few times, but they had never spoken.
On one hand, Laxus has her own small group and hardly communicates with other members of the guild. On the other hand, Qi Yan dislikes Laxus's arrogant attitude towards everyone and naturally doesn't take the initiative to talk to her.
"what's up?"
"Qi Yan, what do you think of Fairy Tail guild now?"
"Hmm...that's great! The guild leader is very kind to me, and everyone in the guild is very united..."
Laxus interrupted Qi Yan, saying, "No! That's not what I meant. What I meant was that this guild is too weak!"
"Too weak? Aren't we the strongest mage guild in Fiore right now?"
"The strongest is indeed the strongest, but it's just a fake strongest because of a few people. Qi Yan, look at this guild. Apart from a few S-rank mages, what kind of rotten fish are they?"
"Look at them, they have no real skills, yet they enjoy the title of the strongest guild in Fairy Tail. How can such guys be worthy of staying in Fairy Tail?"
"The strongest I want is not these small fry. The strongest I want is a guild where every single person is the strongest of the strong. Only then can it be called the strongest guild."
"Qi Yan, come with me! Let's join forces and change this guild! If we work together, we can create the strongest guild in Fiore, no, in the entire continent of Ishgar, and even the whole world!! The strongest guild in history, surpassing all other guilds!!"
"As for those weaklings, kick them all out of the guild."
The table next to him was smashed, and an angry voice rang out: "Try saying that again!!"
The voice immediately attracted the attention of those around, and everyone's eyes were drawn to this side. The speaker was Erza, who was clenching her fists and staring angrily at Laxus.
"Erza, so you're here too! It's even better since you're here. Let's make things clear now: our guild doesn't need weaklings."
"Erusa?!"
This was the first time Lucy had ever seen Erza so angry. Although Erza could be intimidating when she was serious, people who spent time with her knew that she was actually very gentle and kind.
Harpy exclaimed in surprise, "Laxus is back?"
Gray was very annoyed when he saw Laxus: "That bastard, he starts acting arrogant as soon as he gets back."
"Do you know why the Phantom Lords looked down on us? The root cause is that there's too much trash in the Fairy Tail guild!!"
"The old man is soft-hearted. He won't refuse any Tom, Dick, or Harry who comes to join the guild, which has led to more and more weak people in the guild."
"Despite making no contribution, they enjoy the best resources, and even a simple task is given extra credit, which tarnishes the guild's reputation."
"What right do you think someone like that has to join Fairy Tail?"
"Laxus, you bastard!!"
Natsu couldn't help but rush over and throw a punch at Laxus's face.
Laxus's body transformed into golden lightning and instantly teleported behind Natsu.
"Laxus, I challenge you to a duel!! You heartless bastard!!"
"Hahahaha, you can't even catch me, so what right do you have to challenge me to a duel?"
Laxus ignored Natsu after speaking and turned his gaze to Qi Yan: "Qi Yan, will you join forces with me to build the strongest guild in history, or continue playing house with these weaklings? Tell me your answer."
Chapter 112 New S-Rank Mission
Everyone in the guild turned their attention to Qi Yan.
Although Fairy Tail guild does not have a clear hierarchy, S-class mages are actually the leadership in Fairy Tail guild. When the guild master is not present, S-class mages will make decisions on various matters.
If Qi Yan accepts Laxus's invitation, then they will almost certainly be kicked out of the guild.
Qi Yan shook his head and said, "I will not join forces with you to create some so-called strongest guild in history. I am not interested in such things."
"And you mentioned playing house. Isn't playing house good? Isn't it fun? Anyway, I really like playing house."
"As for the weak you mentioned? I don't think everyone in the guild is weak. They work with their own abilities, don't steal or rob, and live honestly. That's what makes them strong."
“Qi Yan…”
Everyone in the guild was deeply moved by Qi Yan's words.
"For me, I'm happy as long as I live happily every day, and ideally I have S-level missions to do."
"No matter how strong the guild is, if I'm not happy, what's the fun in it?"
Qi Yan knew what Laxus was thinking; even without knowing the plot, he knew.
This is similar to the role-playing games he used to play. When creating a guild, some big spenders wanted to build the strongest guild. There were only so many guild slots, so as long as there were high-powered players, the low-powered players would be kicked out.
The game is actually very simple; you can become stronger just by spending money.
Sorry, Qi Yan was also a poor guy before he transmigrated, so naturally he wouldn't spend money on in-game purchases.
He could only join an ordinary guild and play games with other ordinary players like himself, and he was still very happy.
Of course, it's also very frustrating to get killed.
Laxus's burning gaze towards Qi Yan dimmed: "I misjudged you, Qi Yan. I thought you would be someone like me."
"If I inherit the guild, all of you weaklings will disappear! And anyone who dares to resist me will be kicked out! Then I'll create the strongest guild in history, surpassing all other guilds! Hahahaha!!"
Laxus opened his arms and left laughing.
Qi Yan clapped his hands: "Alright, everyone, go about your own business and don't take his words to heart."
Erza added, "Qi Yan is right, everyone doesn't need to pay attention to what Laxus says."
Qi Yan and Erza spoke up, which slightly eased the oppressive atmosphere in the guild, but some worry remained, given Laxus's status.
"Inheritance...how could that be?"
Although Lucy considered herself a first-tier mage, second only to S-class mages, she always felt that Laxus was talking about her, which made her somewhat uncomfortable with Laxus's words.
Mira sighed and said, "That's not necessarily true. In fact, Laxus is the chairman's grandson, so it wouldn't be surprising if the chairman retires and Laxus becomes the next chairman."
"Huh?!?!"
"That Laxus... is the guild master's grandson?! That's totally unexpected!!"
Lucy couldn't believe that the short, kind old man had such an arrogant and haughty grandson.
"Is he/she their biological child?"
"They're my biological children!"
