"No! None of this is important!"
"The most important thing right now is to explain the situation of the three worlds—Earth Land, Elentir, and Edolas—to Makarov, the Master of the Fairy Tail Guild…"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mystogan slowly shook his head and strode towards the bar at the deepest part of the Fairy Tail Guild, a place as terrifying as a demon's lair.
Speaking of which, Mystogan and Makarov had some relation.
In Mystogan's world, the magic-depleted world of Edolas, everyone there, just like Mystogan corresponds to Jellal in Earth Land, mirrored the people of Earth Land…
Makarov of Earth Land, true to his name, was a gentle king.
Makarov of Edolas, on the other hand, was a tyrannical king.
He was also Mystogan's father.
The King of the Human Empire in Edolas.
At this moment, what Mystogan wanted to do was to find the gentle King of Earth Land to stop the tyrannical King of Edolas.
This was also one of the most important reasons Mystogan came to the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Brother Mystogan."
"Do we really have to go in?"
"Wendy is so scared."
Wendy timidly looked at everything inside the Fairy Tail Guild; it was exactly like the hell described in storybooks.
"Yes, we must go in."
"I bear the mission of saving the three worlds…"
Mystogan turned around and looked at Wendy behind him, his tone incredibly firm.
"Then…"
"Then I'll go with you!"
Wendy mustered her courage; she would face the difficulties ahead with Mystogan.
"Good."
Mystogan smiled, took Wendy's small hand, and strode forward.
Of course, when it was time to dodge, they still had to dodge…
After all, there were still many obstacles ahead.
"That young man is…"
As Mystogan pulled Wendy, dodging numerous dangers…
Wendy's gaze was gradually drawn to a young man with cherry-pink short hair and a white rhombus-scaled scarf around his neck. For some reason, she felt a sense of déjà vu from the young man in front of her.
"What's wrong, Wendy?"
Carla, in Wendy's arms, seemed to notice her unusual behavior and asked.
"Nothing…"
"It just feels strange."
"A inexplicable sense of familiarity."
As Wendy spoke, her eyes unknowingly welled up with tears.
"Wendy, you're crying again."
Carla looked at Wendy, who was once again shedding tears, her eyes filled with tenderness. She couldn't help but reach out her furry paw and wipe away the tears from Wendy's eyes.
And so…
Mystogan led Wendy and Carla, overcoming all obstacles, and after a full half an hour, they finally arrived at the deepest part of the Fairy Tail Guild, in front of the bar.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo…"
At this moment, Mystogan seemed to have expended a lot of energy. He was panting, wiping the cold sweat that overflowed from his forehead where his headscarf was.
"Finally made it."
Mystogan said, pulling the soft Wendy to the bar of the Fairy Tail Guild. He thought to himself, the Magicians in the Fairy Tail Guild already seemed very unreliable, surely Makarov, the Master of the Fairy Tail Guild, wouldn't be as rotten as his guild members?!
A leader who could lead a chaotic guild like Fairy Tail to become the number one Magic Guild in the Fiore Kingdom, and even the Ishgar continent…
Should be a responsible man who faces all difficulties with a smile and whom anyone can rely on.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp…"
"Cheers! My little ones!"
Then, Mystogan saw Makarov holding a bottle of wine, drinking heartily.
"Not very reliable at all…"
Mystogan was speechless, he loudly complained in his heart.
"You are?!"
Just as Mystogan didn't know what to say…
Makarov seemed to notice Mystogan.
The drunken Makarov leaped from the bar, came in front of Mystogan, and said with a serious expression: "You are?!"
"Hello, Master Makarov, my name is Mystogan, and I came here out of admiration…"
Mystogan's expression tightened. He thought Makarov had seen through his true identity. While feeling uneasy, he secretly thought, "As expected of Makarov, one of the Saint Ten Wizard, to instantly see that I am not from Earth Land. Indeed, one cannot underestimate the strong people of this world."
"Oh, a newcomer!"
"Welcome to Fairy Tail~"
Just as Mystogan was deep in thought, Makarov pulled out the Fairy Tail Guild stamp and pressed it onto Mystogan's arm.
"He didn't realize I'm from another world."
Mystogan loudly complained in his heart about this.
"What's your name?"
Before Mystogan could think further…
Makarov had already come in front of Wendy and asked with a kind expression.
"I, my name is Wendy Marvell."
Wendy looked timidly at Makarov, her voice soft and gentle, almost inaudible in the noisy guild with normal hearing.
"Oh! Wendy Marvell, is it?"
"What a lovely name…"
"Anyway, welcome to Fairy Tail."
Makarov said, pressing the stamp onto Wendy's hand.
"Hey! My Wendy hasn't said she wants to join your guild, has she?!"
Carla, in Wendy's arms, looked angrily at Makarov and protested.
"It's, it's okay, Carla…"
"I can feel that the old man in front of me isn't a bad person."
Wendy held Carla tightly, her voice very soft and gentle.
"You're impossible!"
"Wendy, you're just too trusting of others…"
Carla sighed helplessly. Wendy was good in every way; her only problem was probably that she was simply too good and too kind.
Wendy's kindness could easily be exploited. "Master Makarov…"
"Actually, I came to see you because I have something very important to say!"
"But before that, don't you want to see my true face?!"
Mystogan said, placing his hand on his mask.
"Hehe…"
"Everyone in the Fairy Tail Guild has some secrets, more or less! Do I have to figure out every single one of them? That would be too tiring…"
Makarov chuckled upon hearing this, but his eyes suddenly became serious at this moment.
"Before you ask me a question, let me ask you one first~"
"Your name is Mystogan, right?"
"Please answer me, would you harm your comrades in the Fairy Tail Guild?"
Makarov looked at Mystogan and asked.
"Of course not!"
Mystogan answered decisively.
"That's enough…"
"From the moment you joined the Fairy Tail Guild, you became one of us! The secrets you protect are also the secrets we protect!"
"So-called family are beings who help each other, protect each other, and grow together! So you don't need to tell us your secrets. You just need to be true to yourself, true to the Fairy Tail Guild emblem on you, and true to your comrades in the Fairy Tail Guild. That's enough."
Makarov's eyes were full of care as he looked at Mystogan. His voice was not loud, yet it stirred up a storm in Mystogan's heart…
Makarov's words would accompany Mystogan throughout his life, helping him grow strong.
"I've learned a lot."
Mystogan was deeply moved by Makarov's words.
After a brief hesitation, Mystogan suddenly removed the headscarf from his face, revealing his true appearance, and looked at Makarov with an apologetic expression, saying, "I apologize, esteemed Master Makarov! The reason I covered my face before was not actually my intention!"
"In fact, I am not from this world. I come from a world incredibly far from here, a place unreachable by conventional means! A magic-depleted world called Edolas, parallel to this world called Earth Land…"
"I am Jellal, the Prince of the Human Empire in that world! Because the worlds of Edolas and Earth Land are mirror images of each other, I concluded that there should also be a person in this world named Jellal who looks exactly like me."
"To avoid any misunderstanding or conflict with him, or rather, to avoid unnecessary bonds with people familiar with Jellal in this world! That's why I covered my face, changed my name to Mystogan, and joined your guild."
Mystogan poured out all his secrets to Makarov.
"Ah…"
"This is quite unexpected."
"Beyond the Son of the Dragon, the Husband of the Dragon, the Dragon itself, and the founder of Dragon Slayer Magic! A new identity has joined our Fairy Tail Guild!"
"This time, the Magician who joined our Fairy Tail Guild has gone from being a person of this world to simply a person from another world. Is the identity of this world no longer sufficient?!"
"Looking at it this way, even if true gods or demons join our Fairy Tail Guild after this, I won won't be surprised in the slightest."
Makarov felt that his heart had been thoroughly tempered.
"So, Prince of another world, what is your purpose in coming to the Fairy Tail Guild?"
Makarov looked at Mystogan and asked.
"Actually, I bear the fate of three worlds."
Mystogan said with a serious expression.
"Three worlds?"
Makarov's expression showed confusion.
"That's right."
"Besides the world we are currently in, Earth Land, there also exists the magic-depleted world of Edolas, and the magic-overloaded world of Elentir…"
"Among them, the magic in my world, Edolas, is almost depleted! So my father, who is also the king of the Human Empire in that world, made an astonishing decision! He decided to use the Super Magic Device he developed to seize magic from other worlds for his own use."
Mystogan continued.
"I see…"
Makarov nodded slightly; at this moment, he still didn't understand the problem.
"To be honest, my father has set his sights on Earth Land."
Mystogan said seriously, lowering his head.
"Wait…"
"If your world truly lacks magic, and your father has the ability to seize magic from other worlds…"
"Then why did you choose Earth Land and not that magic-overloaded world of Elentir?!"
Makarov suddenly found a blind spot, his expression filled with doubt.
"In fact, the world my father first chose was Elentir!"
"If Earth Land is in the middle, then the magic in Edolas is moving towards extreme depletion, while Elentir is moving towards the other extreme, where magic is constantly expanding."
"So the ideal state is exactly as you just said! To transport the constantly expanding, overloaded magic of Elentir to Earth Land, which is severely lacking in magic, to the point where it is almost completely depleted…"
"This way, the magic in all three of our worlds will remain in balance!"
As Mystogan spoke, his voice paused slightly.
"What a pity…"
"All of this completely failed due to the interference of a certain individual!"
"The name of the person who caused the greatest disaster in the three worlds is none other than 'Moon God Dragon' Selene! She did not allow us to extract magic from Elentir because she said it was her world, and any magic transfer required her permission."
Mystogan said with some despair.
"Huh?"
"Are you talking about Moon God Dragon Selene?!"
"She's not someone easy to deal with."
Makarov's forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at Mystogan and retorted.
"Yes, it is Moon God Dragon Selene!"
"She is an utterly evil being…"
"I came to Fairy Tail this time hoping that Master Makarov, you can help me figure out a way to deal with Selene."
"To return the magic of all worlds to its most normal and perfect state."
Mystogan said, bowing deeply to Makarov, "I beg you!"
"Help us deal with Selene, huh? That's really a headache~"
"Ultimately, when this world needs the Magicians of our Fairy Tail Guild to save it, it's already beyond saving, isn't it?!"
Makarov had a headache. He looked up at a glamorous woman who had appeared behind Mystogan at some point.
Indeed, the newcomer was none other than…
The 'Moon God Dragon' Selene, whom Mystogan had described as utterly evil.
