Hmm, Precht thought this, picked up the "Medivh's Poetry Collection" by his hand. The abyss of magic could wait; it wouldn't run away. He could research it later.
The main thing was that the short stories Medivh wrote, and those quotes that could boost his prestige several times just by uttering them, truly made him unable to stop!
Makarov: "Old Precht, so this is the Old Precht you are!"
On the other side.
"Master Hades wants me to choose four of you to go with me to the Fiore Kingdom and take over the Light Magic Guild Phantom Lord, led by Josef Porla, one of the Saint Ten Wizard."
"From today onwards, Phantom Lord will be completely renamed Luminas Guardians! It will be the eye of our Grimoire Heart in the light magic world, and also our branch guild! We will join hands with Fairy Tail to dominate the entire world."
After Jellal left Precht's study with the Purgatory Kin, he relayed what Precht had told him to the group of youths.
He then asked the youths, "So, who among you intends to come with me?!"
"Huh? We're perfectly fine in the dark world, why should we venture into the light magic world?"
Zancrow pouted; he believed that light Magicians were all cowards, and he had no interest in associating with those light-aligned individuals...
In Zancrow's view, spending too much time with weaklings would make him weak too, and this was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
"This is the Master's order, you are not allowed to have an opinion."
Jellal glanced at Zancrow and said coldly.
"Uh..."
With just one glance, cold sweat broke out on Zancrow's forehead.
Apparently, Jellal still held considerable prestige among the Purgatory Kin.
"Hehe..."
"Captain Jellal, I believe that to venture into the light magic world, one's image must first be good! Zancrow is too short-tempered, so he's definitely not suitable. Hua Yuan looks like that; if he goes to the light world, he'll only scare people!"
"Although Azuma's strength and appearance are both good, his personality is too reclusive. If he goes to the light world, he'll also be ostracized by others, so let him stay here! Macbeth is always sleeping, so he's useless in the light world! Erik, hehe, a snake-playing bastard, who plays with snakes among decent people?!"
"Therefore, in summary, I think choosing me, Sawyer, Sorano, and Richard to go to the light world is the most suitable. Leaving aside other things, at least our appearance is up to par, and we don't have special hobbies like playing with snakes. Our personalities are also very friendly and we can get along with people."
Rustyrose's foul mouth managed to offend all his companions in just a few seconds.
"Huh? Who are you calling a snake player?!"
"I'm saying Cubellios again!"
"I'm talking about Kinana, she's a human, my best friend."
Erik was directly angered by Rustyrose's words. He didn't allow anyone to speak ill of his friend Kinana (Cubellios was discovered by Precht and had her curse lifted).
Suddenly, an astonishing poisonous gas erupted around him, and the terrifying power made the floor beneath everyone's feet constantly tremble.
"Want to fight, Erik...?"
"You know, you're not my opponent."
In response, Rustyrose smiled, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain towards Erik, as if he didn't put Erik in his eyes at all...
If one looked closely, a transparent film had appeared around Rustyrose at some point. This was an anti-toxin shield that Rustyrose had imagined into existence.
"Tsk~"
Erik gritted his teeth. Just as Rustyrose said, his magic was not superior against Rustyrose. But that didn't mean he was afraid of the other party; no matter what, he had to fight first before saying anything!
"Alright! Stop it."
Just as Erik and Rustyrose were facing off, Jellal frowned, and a dark golden magic power rose from his body, blocking between Erik and Rustyrose.
"Hmph!"
In response, Erik and Rustyrose both snorted coldly and withdrew their magic power. In front of Jellal, they dared not act presumptuously.
"Then I've decided."
"Richard, Erik, Sorano, and Rustyrose, the four of you will go with me to the light magic world!"
Finally, Jellal chose Richard, Erik, Sorano, and Rustyrose to accompany him as undercover agents in the light magic world.
"Huh?!"
"I don't want to go to the light world with this guy!"
As Jellal's words fell, Erik and Rustyrose almost simultaneously showed expressions of dissatisfaction. They pointed at each other, their faces disgusted, and said angrily.
"This is an order."
To this, Jellal merely sneered. He enjoyed seeing these people upset yet helpless.
"Damn it."
Erik and Rustyrose, hearing this, lowered their heads helplessly. Faced with Jellal's words, they chose to endure; who told them they couldn't beat this bastard!
"I allow you to bring your respective squad's second-in-command."
"If there's anything you need to take, pack it quickly…"
"I'll be waiting for you outside the Guild's main gate in one day."
"…That is all."
Jellal finished speaking and left on his own, leaving Rustyrose and Erik, who were not on good terms.
"Boring~"
After Jellal left, Sorano returned to her dormitory.
In Sorano's dormitory, a young girl, about eight or nine years younger than her, was quietly waiting for her. When the young girl saw Sorano return, she immediately stood up from her seat and hopped like a little rabbit towards Sorano.
"Sister, you're finally back."
The young girl threw herself into Sorano's arms, rubbing against her affectionately, her expression full of attachment to Sorano.
"Yes! I'm back!"
"Has little Yukino been good and waited for her sister to come back?"
