Chapter 35 The True Way S-Class Mages Get Along
Chapter 35 The True Way S-Class Mages Get Along
In a forest lake, a uniquely shaped green crystal building stands tall.
This is the headquarters of the Council of the Kingdom of Fiore.
The building's interior structure is quite unique, consisting of several enormous rock hands.
On each palm stands a member of the council.
From the returning council investigation team, they learned the general outline of what happened on the Isle of Calamity's Ruins.
"I never expected that Fairy Tail, which usually only causes trouble, would actually do something so righteous this time."
"Ha, putting aside the process, they completely destroyed the tourist island that the kingdom had invested in!"
"Compared to the massacre of citizens, which makes the situation even worse and more dangerous, that little bit of destruction is nothing."
"Based on the on-site survey conducted by the investigation team, if the Eighteen War Gods of Calamity were restored to their perfect state, we wouldn't just be worried about a small island, but the safety of the entire country!"
"In any case, Chase and Mirajane did help us get rid of a big problem."
"So, regarding the matter of the towns and cities in the Kingdom of Giltina, are we still going to put pressure on Fairy Tail?"
The question was posed, and the entire room fell silent.
All eyes were on the man with a large goatee standing on the central platform.
An ancient book floated beside Speaker Crawford Him. He pondered for a few seconds with a low gaze, then slowly spoke:
"In that case, those guys aren't entirely useless. Let's put this matter aside for now, and the agenda we set yesterday is off the table."
"Summon Makarov over tomorrow. I need to know the details of the Isle of Evil Ruins."
The issue set yesterday was that "if Fairy Tail causes trouble again, their guild should be disbanded."
Since even the Speaker had said so, the other council members, who had long harbored resentment towards Fairy Tail, naturally said no more and nodded silently.
Among them, Congressman Zik Rein's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself:
"Cheese Lynn Edgardon, ah, sounds like quite an interesting fellow."
"I wonder if the council's decision is a good thing or a bad thing for you?"
Erza…
He has short, sky-blue hair and a very noticeable red tattoo on his right eye.
That's right, he is Gerald Fernandez's thought entity lurking in the Council!
----------------
The next morning, Makarov, looking distressed after receiving the summons, boarded the magic-powered vehicle bound for the Magnolia branch of the Council.
Having not yet received any news from the Island of Ruins, he assumed that the Council had come to reprimand the town for its destruction, and his expression was as solemn as that of a warrior facing certain death.
No sooner had he left than the latest newspaper was delivered to Magnolia.
Its content was clearly about the Island of the Demon's Ruins!
Because of the huge incident that happened, the "Heroes and Demons" themed issue of Magic Weekly, a collaboration with the Kingdom, was scrapped on the spot.
As the only organization present at the time and possessing photos of the scene, the Magic Weekly naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by.
The editors worked overnight to rewrite the prepared article and design the layout, so that the entire event could be reported today.
And so, Chase, single-handedly blocking the back of the giant demon guardian magic ship, appeared in the most conspicuous position in the newspaper!
The largest tavern in the southwest corner of Magnolia.
"Hey! Did you all see that? That Fairy Tail guy, Chess, actually saved all the tourists on the island!"
The man was clutching a crumpled newspaper, his expression one of utter shock.
The black chicken foot emblem on his right arm reveals that he is none other than the strongest mage, Black Pheasant Foot!
Here's what happened: After being kicked away by Chase's rock giant, the hot-blooded young man was extremely unhappy. He lurked in Magnolia, constantly gathering information about Chase, trying to get revenge.
Before they could even get revenge, news broke about Chase.
"Oh, I saw it. What's wrong?"
To his surprise, everyone in the tavern, including the owner and the waiters, remained remarkably calm.
"That Chase, that Chase who enjoys destruction, would actually do something like this?!" The man was very surprised.
"Young man, judging from your attire, you must be from out of town, right?" someone asked.
"Yes, no, aren't you locals the ones who suffer greatly from Chase's scourge? Aren't you surprised?"
Seeing his exaggerated reaction, the tavern owner slowly walked over with a barrel of beer, and smiled as he poured him a beer.
"That's why we said you're from out of town, bro. We're used to seeing Chess do things like this."
"I'll tell you something and you'll understand. Last year, the alcohol-loving monsters in the suburbs suddenly went berserk and came here to steal alcohol. It was Chase who heard the commotion and took action, defeating all the monsters before the army could act."
"Although the losses from the battle are far greater than simply giving away all the alcohol in the shop to monsters, but..."
At this point, the tavern owner waved towards the corner.
There, a little boy with a childish face called out "Daddy" and rushed into his arms.
The shopkeeper affectionately patted the little boy's head, a look of gratitude on his face: "This child survived the clutches of the monster unscathed."
Upon hearing this, the strongest mage of the Black Pheasant Legs was slightly taken aback.
"Dude, let me put it this way: with that guy Chase around, the safest time is the most dangerous, and the most dangerous time is the safest."
A customer at another table added with a laugh, "So just remember to stay away from him if you don't have to."
The vivid metaphor resonated with the other patrons, who burst into laughter.
Boom!
The sudden, earth-shaking sound outside the street interrupted the lively atmosphere inside the tavern.
The smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly.
They were all too familiar with this deadly noise.
"Damn it! That bastard Chase! He's let those rock giants run around the city again, hasn't he?!"
"Seriously, would it kill you to tone it down a bit? I can't take it anymore, let's go outside and yell at him."
"Let's go, let's go! I just thought of some new scathing remarks. This time, we're going to give him a good dressing down!"
And so, a group of people ran to the door and started cursing at the giant rock soldiers who were passing by.
This time, the Black Pheasant Legs Mage, with his third-person perspective, could finally see clearly.
The residents who were hurling the most offensive insults clearly had joyful and relieved smiles on their faces!
So this is why...
How does Fairy Tail's S-Class Mage Chess truly interact with the residents of this city?
"I'm still a long way from being an S-rank mage of a major guild..."
The Black Pheasant Legs Mage sighed heavily, picked up the beer in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
Unlike last time, he didn't try to stop him. Instead, he lowered his head, walked silently out of the tavern, and disappeared at the end of the street.
