Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

Because the entire Fairy Tail guild hall was completely empty; apart from Li Xiaoxi, Yukino, and Brandish.μ, there was no one else there.

Li Xiaoxi's face immediately darkened, and she silently took a step and walked inside.

"Da...da...da...da..."

The clear sound of footsteps echoed in the air, creating a desolate atmosphere.

This would have been impossible in the previous Fairy Tail series.

"...Nozomi? Yukino?"

A slightly trembling voice rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Xiaoxi paused and immediately turned her head to look at the source of the sound.

The next moment, two figures came into Li Xiaoxi's view.

They were two middle-aged people who were at least forty years old.

At this moment, the two middle-aged men were looking at Li Xiaoxi with incredulous expressions, their eyes brimming with tears, as if they found it utterly unbelievable.

Looking at the two middle-aged men, Li Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment before speaking uncertainly.

"Are you Macao and Wakaba?"

Li Xiaoxi's words finally convinced the two middle-aged men that they had seen everything.

"You're back?! Xiao hope!" Macao was overjoyed.

"Great! You're finally back!"

"Now that you're back, let's see who dares to call our guild a trash guild."

"That's right, with Xiaoxi around, let's see who dares to say that Fairy Tail is a trash guild!"

Seeing the joyful expressions on Macao and Wakaba's faces, Li Xiaoxi's heart finally felt fulfilled.

No matter what changes Fairy Tail may undergo, the sentiment of valuing comrades remains unchanged, even after seven years.

"You've all gotten old," Li Xiaoxi said with a sigh, then remembered something and quickly asked.

"By the way, where are everyone in the guild?"

No sooner had those words been spoken than an elderly voice, tinged with surprise and joy, rang out.

"Oh? Xiaoxi? You're back?"

As such a voice rang out, a short and old figure slowly walked out from inside the guild.

It was Makarov.

"President..." Li Xiaoxi's heart instantly calmed down incredibly.

"You're back? How did the mission go?" Makarov said kindly.

"Yes, President, Yukino, a new member, and I are back. I completed the mission."

Makarov's words provoked a very strong reaction from Macao and Vakaba.

"Xiao hope, are you saying you completed that century-old mission?"

"So, if word gets out that Xiaoxi has completed her second century mission, we can immediately get rid of the worst guild in the Kingdom of Fiore."

Li Xiaoxi could clearly hear the excitement in Macao and Wakaba's voices.

That's true.

Fairy Tail, formerly the strongest guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, has now become the worst. For those who remain in Fairy Tail, this is undoubtedly an incredibly difficult situation.

How could I not be excited?

The members of the Sirius Island group returned a month ago.

Otherwise, who knows how excited Macao and Wakaba would be right now.

"Anyway, it's good that everything's alright." Li Xiaoxi was relieved.

"Even after seven years, the guild is still the same."

Li Xiaoxi said this entirely from her own feelings.

However, Macao and Wakaba spoke up to refute this.

“You’re wrong, Xiao hope.” Marcao sighed.

"The guild has changed a lot over time."

"Didn't you notice that none of the guild members are here?" Wakaba said helplessly.

"Besides the Tenrou Island group, Yukino, who went on the mission with you, left behind less than ten people. The rest have all left the guild."

"Is that really how it is?" Li Xiaoxi sighed softly.

It's only natural that guilds would encounter such situations.

After all, with all the main players absent, how could the guild possibly maintain its title as the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore?

Without a main force, there would be no powerful mages to complete those difficult tasks.

As a result, reduced commissions, decreased revenue, poor management, and member withdrawals are all inevitable.

"Anyway, please sit down first," Makarov said, looking at Li Xiaoxi.

"I will tell you the details of the guild in detail."

Li Xiaoxi nodded: "By the way, President, let me accept this for you. This is Brandish.μ, from the Western Continent, who wants to join Fairy Tail."

After Li Xiaoxi finished speaking, Brandish.μ bowed to everyone present and then said with a smile, "I am Brandish.μ, from the Western Continent, and I hope to join Fairy Tail."

“Brandish μ, right! Fairy Tail welcomes you to the company,” Makarov said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since Fairy Tail has had a new member join!"

"Yes, yes"

Macao and Wakaba said with great emotion.

"It seems our new member is quite strong! Xiao Xi, how did you find him?" Makarov sensed the magical fluctuations emanating from Brandish.μ and looked at Li Xiao Xi with ill intent.

"The guild leader has a good feeling. Brandish μ's strength is probably enough to defeat our entire Fiore Kingdom single-handedly."

"That strong? Xiao hope, you didn't finish watching, did you?!"

"Do I look like I'm joking? Leaving aside Brandishμ, even Yukino could probably be ranked among the Ten Saints of the Kingdom of Fiore now."

After hearing Li Xiaoxi's words, Makarov sensed Yukino's magical power and showed a surprised expression.

"Nozomi, why is Yukino's magic...?"

"President, let me talk to you about this privately sometime."

Chapter 307 The Tiger Bites with a Sword

In the seven years since Li Xiaoxi left Fairy Tail, a lot has indeed happened in Fairy Tail.

First, they dealt with Edolas's soul, leading to Mystogan's departure from the group. Later, during the S-Exams, they encountered Hades, one of the four founding members of the Fairy Tail guild and the second guild master of Fairy Tail, now the guild master of the strongest dark guild, Devil Heart, on Tenrou Island. Hades led his guild in an attack, but they were ultimately defeated. However, after defeating Hades, the black dragon Acnologia appeared. Each member of the guild faced his opponent, and the defeated fairies, with the help of the first guild master Mavis, used the Fairy Sphere. Although the Fairy Sphere is an absolute defense magic, formed by the combined thoughts of all guild members into a powerful magical force, creating an invincible protective sphere that protects all members and the environment within its range, it also has an additional effect: freezing time within the sphere.

Because it was necessary to unfreeze Tenrou Island, Mavis sank the entire island to the bottom of the sea to prevent it from being disturbed or causing any trouble.

The disappearance of Sirius Island was finally discovered a month later.

At the same time, news of the attack on Tenrou Island by Acnologia, a black dragon capable of destroying a country, also spread throughout the entire continent.

Fairy Tail, whose main members were believed to have been destroyed along with Tenrou Island by Acnologia, was plunged into chaos and despair, which ultimately led to various problems.

For example, after learning that the main members were gone, Fairy Tail received fewer and fewer requests, making it more difficult to run the guild.

For example, the remnants of the dark guilds and magic orders that had been wiped out by Fairy Tail have also come knocking on our door, launching attacks more than once.

Faced with all this, the guild's situation deteriorated day by day, eventually leading to members starting to leave.

Now, apart from the main members who perished on Sirius Island, the guild has less than ten members left.

However, because of Li Xiaoxi's reputation as one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Fairy Tail did not cause any trouble for three to four years after the news of the main force's death on Tenrou Island spread.

However, four years later, Fairy Tail's situation deteriorated further.

With the large number of members leaving, Fairy Tail has truly reached a state of financial ruin.

In any case, the return of the Sirius Group and Li Xiaoxi was just in time.

"It's so good that we didn't sell the entire guild building." Macao almost burst into tears.

"Otherwise, I, as the fourth-generation chairman, would truly have no face to see you."

"You only became the guild leader because you couldn't find anyone with more seniority than you in the guild. You don't need to keep bringing it up." Wakaba didn't hesitate to expose Macao's bluff.

"Now that the president is back, and Xiaoxi is back too, do you think you still have a place in the president's office?"

"Enough with the chit-chat! Of course I know about that kind of thing!" Marcao retorted angrily.

"I just wanted to say it was fun, is that so wrong?!"

The two veteran members immediately started arguing in front of Makarov, Li Xiaoxi, and the other two.

Li Xiaoxi and Makarov found it both funny and absurd, but they let the two of them go.

"Now that everyone's back, where are the people?" Li Xiaoxi asked Makarov.

"Why haven't I seen anyone?"

"Oh, right, you didn't know about this yet." Makarov suddenly remembered this. He picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and explained.

"Everyone has gone to cultivate themselves."

"Cultivation?" Li Xiaoxi asked in surprise, but then understood.

"I see, so you're planning to make up for the seven-year gap?"

For this day and age, the main members of Fairy Tail are still as strong as they were seven years ago.

In other words, everyone else had seven years to grow, but the main members of Fairy Tail did not grow at all during those seven years.

It's likely that Natsu, Gray, and others who were once top-tier fighters in Fairy Tail have now fallen to the level of slightly stronger mages.

If we don't train properly and make up for the seven-year gap, even if the main members return, I doubt many people will be willing to entrust us with difficult tasks.

This is why casual observers believe that even with the return of the main members, Fairy Tail will still be a terrible guild.

“Now, Fairy Tail is no longer the number one guild in the kingdom; instead, it has become the bottom of the pack,” Macao said.

"Guilds like Snake Princess Scale and Azure Pegasus have far surpassed us now, especially Snake Princess Scale, which is now the second strongest guild in the kingdom, much stronger than us."

“No matter what, there’s always a Jura in Boa Hancock Scale.” Wakaba shrugged.

"With a member of the Ten Wizard Saints and a top-tier combat expert like Leo, they're bound to be strong. But now our Ten Wizard Saints have returned, and they've brought two powerful allies with them. Everything will be alright."

"The second in the kingdom?" Li Xiaoxi noticed another detail.

"So, who is the number one in the kingdom?"

"I heard it was a very insignificant little guild seven years ago," Makarov said casually, continuing to drink his wine.

"However, that guild changed its leader in the past seven years and brought in several very powerful mages, which is why it has developed into the number one guild in the kingdom."

"So, that guild replaced us, right?" Li Xiaoxi looked at Macao.

What's the name of that guild?

"The guild is called Sabertooth Tiger, and it's incredibly powerful." Macao stroked his chin.

"In my opinion, that guild is almost as good as it was seven years ago when we were at our peak."

"Let alone the Saber-toothed Tiger, even the Serpent Princess Scale and the Blue Pegasus are almost as powerful as we used to be," Wakaba said with frustration.

"At least, I don't think that a few months of training will be enough to fight them."

“Yes, yes.” Macao nodded repeatedly.

"I'm afraid right now it's just Nozomi, Yukino whom you brought back, and this person named..."

“Brandish.μ”

"Sorry"

"fine!"
