And so.
Several days later.
The date was X781, January 5th.
In Fiore Kingdom, Magnolia Town, at the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Finally back to the Fairy Tail Guild."
In Bosco Kingdom, near Fiore Kingdom, the S-Class Mage Examination for the Fairy Tail Guild this year was completed...
The candidates for S-Class Mage and the newly promoted S-Class Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild, led by Guild Master Makarov and three S-Class Mages who served as examiners, finally returned to the Guild.
"Everyone, I, Makarov, am here to announce..."
"This year, the people who passed the Magician Guild Fairy Tail's X780 S-Class Mage Examination are Mirajane Strauss..."
The first thing Makarov did upon returning to the Guild was to stand on the podium and loudly announce to the Guild's gambling members who had passed the Fairy Tail Guild's S-Class Mage Examination this year.
"Great, Mirajane won!"
"Won! I knew it, it's my turn to win!"
"This year, and even the next five years' rent, is all settled."
As Makarov's voice fell...
The entire first floor hall of the Fairy Tail Guild erupted!
Half of the Guild's Mages stood up and cheered for their victory...
It seemed that for these standing Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild, they were even happier than Mirajane herself that she had passed this year's S-Class Mage Examination.
"And Ultear Milkovich!"
However, just as these gamblers were celebrating prematurely!
Guild Master Makarov's hoarse and aged voice, yet filled with unprecedented power, slowly sounded in everyone's ears once again.
"Ah?"
"No?!"
"How come there are two people who passed the S-Class Mage Examination this year?"
"Doesn't that mean we're finished?"
"Hehehe, completely wiped out..."
"Money! My money! It's all gone..."
"Guild Master Makarov, you shouldn't speak with such pauses!"
For a moment, both Wakaba and Macao knelt on the ground...
After hearing Makarov's announcement of the results of the Fairy Tail Guild's S-Class Mage Examination this year from the podium, they seemed to instantly collapse, their eyes filled with despair.
"Senior Cana, didn't you tell us..."
"Your predictions and divinations, under normal circumstances, have a winning rate of over fifty percent?!"
Among them, many of the newly joined Mages of Fairy Tail, who couldn't resist the desire for a sudden fortune and followed the Fairy Tail Guild's gambling members in betting all the money they earned this year on the S-Class Mage Examination, came to Cana with faces full of despair and protested loudly.
"I already said, having a fifty percent winning rate is under normal circumstances!"
"You also know that the old man, the Guild Master, often disregards the examination rules he set himself and lets people pass the examination arbitrarily, I can't do anything about that?!"
Upon hearing this, Cana shrugged helplessly...
Well, thanks to the old man Makarov, her reputation among the Fairy Tail Guild's gamblers has been somewhat affected.
However, Cana didn't really care.
It wasn't she, Cana, who forced them to gamble, was it?!
She already said, small bets are entertaining, large bets are harmful to the body!
"I don't care!"
"Guild Master Makarov broke the rules first..."
"Pay up! You must pay up!"
"That's right! Guild Master Makarov, this year's bet doesn't count."
For a moment...
In the Fairy Tail Guild hall, a group of gamblers began to protest collectively.
"Silence!"
"Do you think the money that has entered this old man's hands can still be returned to you?!"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"I mean, the final interpretation right belongs to this old man as the Guild Master!"
"Your protests are completely invalid, returning money to this old man is absolutely impossible..."
Upon hearing this, Makarov became furious, he loudly refuted the group of gamblers in the hall before him, insisting on keeping (confiscating) the property of these gamblers for himself (public use).
Well, in this regard, Makarov is trustworthy to everyone, he will absolutely not embezzle a single penny of the Guild's money...
In fact, even before Medivh and others had fully grown, Makarov, as the Guild Master, contributed money to the Guild from his own pocket every year.
"No!"
"This is not true..."
Makarov's words were like a sharp sword, piercing their hearts fiercely.
For a moment, the entire Fairy Tail Guild hall was filled with wailing.
At the same time.
Outside the Fairy Tail Guild gate.
After Medivh finished arranging matters in West Continent Alakitasia, he was surprised to find that everyone in the entire Alvarez Empire had something to do except for him, the Emperor, so he returned to the Fairy Tail Guild with Erza and Eresh.
In addition, Neinhart, Jacob, and Bradman, who were temporarily removed from the Spriggan 12, followed closely behind Medivh and the others.
"Is this the Magician Guild Fairy Tail?!"
"What kind of Mage Guild is it that can make His Majesty join?"
Neinhart, Jacob, and Bradman exchanged glances...
Frankly, they were full of curiosity about the Fairy Tail Guild.
Especially when they thought that this Mage Guild possessed a magical power that made Medivh, the most powerful person in the world, willing to give up being the Emperor of the largest country in Earth Land, which is the Alvarez Empire, and return here, their curiosity about this Mage Guild called Fairy Tail increased even further.
They wanted to see what was different about this Mage Guild compared to the Mage Guilds they were familiar with?!
Well, this is not an ordinary Mage Guild, this is the world's number one Dark Magic Guild that inherited the spirit of Black Wizard Zeref...
The root cause of turmoil in Ishgar Continent and even the Earth-land World!
Cough, cough...
"Look quickly!"
"This seemingly ordinary Mage Guild, the gold-inlaid Fairy Tail letters on its door frame are so beautiful, so spirited, full of artistic atmosphere~ It must be the masterpiece of a famous master."
First to start spouting exaggerated flattery was naturally Neinhart, the number one sycophant of the Bellserion Family, as he looked at the peeling Fairy Tail letters on the Fairy Tail Guild door and spoke as such.
"Indeed."
Bradman was always relatively silent, he just nodded silently.
"I can feel..."
"This seemingly ordinary Mage Guild building before my eyes has actually been polished by the years, this wall alone has an inexhaustible history to tell!"
"Especially the door before us that protects the countless members of the Magician Guild Fairy Tail, this is completely a work of art, a treasure-level existence..."
"In the Alvarez Empire, it would be enough to become a national treasure."
Jacob's forehead broke out in fine cold sweat, he imitated Neinhart's usual exaggerated posture and spoke without showing weakness.
"Hiss~"
As Jacob's voice fell...
Both Bradman and Neinhart gasped, if it came to flattery, Jacob was indeed better at it~
