Ichiya demonstrated that no matter how much they complained, he would keep striking his poses!
"First, regarding the gathering place of the Oración Seis."
Ichiya pointed dramatically. "Head north from here and you'll find an endless sea of trees. Ancient people sealed a powerful Magic within that forest. Its name is 'Nirvana'!"
"I already said there's no need to strike poses..." Gray couldn't hold back his spirit of sarcasm.
"Nirvana?" Natsu and Lucy questioned in unison.
"Mr. Jura, do you know about it?" Sherry asked Jura who was standing beside her.
"No, I haven't heard of it either." Jura shook his head.
Ichiya changed to another pose and said, "All we know is that it's a Destructive Magic that ancient people chose to seal away, but we don't know exactly what kind of magic it is, MEN!"
"Destructive Magic..."
"I have a feeling... this gives me a bad premonition..." Lucy said while gently touching her chest.
"The Oración Seis are gathering in the Worth Woodsea definitely to obtain Nirvana."
"To prevent this, we must defeat the Oración Seis."
He ended up striking a final pose after that.
"We have over ten people here, while they only have six, but we still can't underestimate them. These six are extremely powerful."
Hibiki Lates snapped his fingers, and a yellow circular frame appeared floating beside him.
"Archive. That's quite a rare Magic," Jura commented while looking at Hibiki's display.
"This is my first time seeing it too." Sherry nodded in surprise.
"What's so strange about this? Doesn't Raizel know how to do it too?" Natsu commented that there was nothing to make a fuss about.
"Oh? So you can use this too?" Jura looked at Raizel with interest.
"It's similar, but somewhat different." Raizel nodded.
Hibiki continued, "This is visual data we've managed to collect on them recently."
"The Mage who uses poison snakes—Cobra."
The screen showed a man with maroon hair grinning with his teeth bared.
"This guy with upturned eyes looks like a complete villain."
"You're not much better yourself..." Gray complained.
"Judging by the name, he's a Speed-Type Magic user—Racer."
"No matter what, he just gives off an unpleasant vibe."
"The man who can take down an entire army alone if paid—Hoteye of the Heavenly Eye."
"For money?"
"How despicable." Jura expressed his disdain for such motivation.
"The woman said to be able to read people's hearts—Angel."
"Instinctively, she seems like the type I'd have the most trouble dealing with." Lucy felt uneasy just looking at the image of the celestial mage.
"We have little information about this man, but he's known as Midnight."
The screen showed a man with black and white hair sitting cross-legged on a flying carpet, sleeping.
"And their leader, Brain."
"As expected, it's him. Though he has more lines on his face now, I'd never forget his face," Ultear said with a furrowed brow, staring at the image of her former tormentor.
"Each of them possesses enough Magical Power to single-handedly destroy an entire Guild. We'll have to use our advantage in numbers."
"Um... please don't count me in either," Lucy weakly raised her hand from the side.
"Don't worry! Our operation doesn't require fighting. We just need to locate their base."
Ichiya explained, "Based on our speculation, they have a temporary base in the forest. If possible, we hope to gather all of them at that location."
"What do we do after gathering them?" Erza asked, pinching her chin in thought.
Ichiya pointed his finger toward the sky.
"Using our Guild's Pride of the Continent—the Magic Bomber Pegasus! Named 'Christina,' we'll obliterate them along with their base."
"Is that referring to the Magic Bomber Ship?"
"Speaking of which, is it necessary to go this far against humans?" Lucy looked completely drained.
Having joined Fairy Tail for less than half a year, Lucy's perspective had completely expanded—'could Mages really be this powerful?'
Jura said with a serious expression, "They are indeed that formidable. Listen well, even if battle breaks out, you must never fight alone. When facing one enemy, there must be at least two attackers."
Raizel continued, "Safety first. The teams that paused should still consist of members from various guilds—this will improve coordination. Hibiki's magic allows communication, and I can also communicate with everyone using Archieve."
"Great, I'm fired up!"
Natsu's fist wrapped in flames as he blasted open the villa door and ran out.
"I'll take care of all six of them myself!"
"Wait, Natsu!" Lucy, who was right beside Natsu, couldn't even grab his scarf and could only watch him run off.
"Really, that guy..." Erza also shook her head helplessly.
Not just them, even Raizel couldn't react in time—when it comes to fighting, nobody can stop Natsu...
"Should we call him impatient, or what?"
"Speaking of which, he wasn't listening to the operation plan at all, was he?" Gray also looked speechless.
"Aye! That's Natsu for you," Happy raised his paw and said from the side.
"Leave Brain to me," Ultear said quietly, looking at Raizel.
"Alright, I'll definitely notify you when we find him," Raizel nodded.
"BOOM"
"Hey, hey."
"That's too much..."
"At least open the door properly before leaving..." The three members of Blue Pegasus didn't know what to say about the destroyed door.
"No helping it, let's go," Erza said, looking at Natsu who had already run far away.
"That's really typical of Natsu-san," Wendy said with a cold sweat drop on her forehead.
"Really, that idiot," Kagura didn't know what to say either.
"We can't lose to Fairy Tail! Let's go too!"
The three members of Blue Pegasus also dashed toward the forest.
"Really.... well after all Raizel-san is also quite young..." Jura commented as he watched Raizel run out after them.
"Regardless, the operation has officially begun. Let's head over too," Jura said to Ichiya, the only one who hadn't left with the others.
"Before that, Jura-san, you're one of the Ten Wizard Saints right?."
"Indeed."
"Can your power match Master Makarov's?"
Jura felt somewhat strange—he had clearly mentioned earlier that he was only the lowest-ranked member, so why was Ichiya bringing this up again?
However, he didn't dwell on it too much and replied politely.
"No, that's not the case. I'm merely the lowest-ranked member. Even though we share the same title, compared to Master Makarov, im nothing but a weakling."
"Oh, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease."
Ichiya took out a bottle of perfume and flicked open the stopper with his thumb.
"If you were as strong as Makarov, I wouldn't know what to do."
Jura quickly covered his nose, feeling a sudden, sharp discomfort in his body.
"What... what is this smell?"
