Weston's speech was full of emotion.
The residents of Tenrou Village listened in silence, everyone hushed.
They suddenly realized that this person they had always trusted, regarded as a hero, savior, and guiding light, who seemed omnipotent and indispensable to Tenrou Island, was actually... just a sixteen-year-old boy with dreams, passion, enthusiasm, and youth.

Seven years ago, Weston could have left Tenrou Island directly and ventured into the outside world.
With his talent and perseverance, he could have become the most dazzling Mage in the Fiore Kingdom in at most ten years, become famous throughout Ishgar in twenty years, and made his name resound throughout the world within thirty years.
However, for the sake of Tenrou Island, he stubbornly stayed here for seven years!
These years, they were the ones who delayed him.
Now that the village has been built, he can finally relax and go out to do his own thing and realize his dreams. Could they still hinder him and continue to drag him down?
Of course not!
After a long time, the old village chief stood up again, representing everyone.
"Weston, do whatever you want."
"Whether it's moving the guild or establishing diplomatic relations with the outside world, we will all fully support you and will not have any objections."
"You can enjoy your youth and realize your dreams!"
"But there is one thing you must remember."
"Tenrou Island will always be your home, and we will always be your family!"
Looking at the gentle smiles on the villagers' faces, a trace of warmth rose in Weston's heart.
Over the years, he had long regarded the people in front of him as his family.
Seeing them support him as always, without any complaints about his decision, only full of concern and exhortations like parents, he was greatly moved.
"Of course, no matter what happens in the future, I will never forget that Tenrou Island is my hometown, and my family is here!"
[Comic Narration Box——]
[The seventh anniversary of the founding of Tenrou Village.]
[On this day, the villagers, as in previous years, unanimously passed Weston's decision to relocate 'Fairy Tail' and step out of Tenrou Island to establish diplomatic relations with the outside world.]
[Not abandoning, not betraying.]
[It's just that the fledgling eagle is spreading its wings to soar and venture into the outside world, to achieve a career!]
After the speech ended.
At the banquet, there was clinking of glasses and everyone was happy.
The villagers knew in their hearts that after today, it would probably be a long time before they could be so lively again, so they all cherished this short time and indulged in singing and dancing.
In the corner.
Yuri and the other two were still savoring Weston's speech just now.
"Well said..."
"I originally thought that guy was just a kid, but he actually has such lofty dreams, which makes me look at him in a new light."
Realizing that Yuri's tone was a little off, Precht immediately stopped him and shouted: "Wake up, Yuri! You wouldn't be attracted by his words, would you?"
"Uh..."
Yuri smiled sheepishly, looking embarrassed.
Warrod, who was on the side, saw that his two teammates were acting strangely, but he didn't understand why: "That Weston's dream is indeed very touching, it's normal for Yuri to be attracted, what's wrong with that?"
Precht did not answer Warrod's question, but just glanced at Yuri coldly: "Ask him yourself what he was thinking just now!"
Yuri immediately looked unconvinced: "How could you know what I was thinking?"
"Don't forget how many times we have fought side by side since we met, and how many times we have survived on the edge of death together. In this world, no one knows each other better than us!"
"You wanted to join 'Fairy Tail' just now, didn't you?"
Yuri was stunned when his thoughts were exposed, and he fell silent.
"Eh eh eh?"
"Really, Yuri?"
"You... want to join..."
Warrod opened his mouth, his face full of surprise, but he didn't continue to speak.
"Tch, I didn't think that way, don't you two overthink it!"
Yuri turned his head irritably and denied it.
But doing so only exposed his thoughts.
Precht's deduction was correct!
"We are not Mages, but treasure hunters!"
"This time we came to this island for the S-class treasure, tenrou jade."
"If you choose to join 'Fairy Tail', it will be difficult to attack tenrou jade afterwards."
"Are you going to give up the treasure that is about to be obtained?"
Give up the treasure?
That's of course impossible!
Precht's words were like a shot in the arm, instantly strengthening Yuri's wavering heart.
"How could that be possible?!"
Yuri waved his hand, his face returning to normal, and expressed his loyalty to his two partners.
"Okay, okay, don't overthink it. I was just a little excited by what that kid said just now, and I suddenly missed my former dreams and passions."
"Even... even if I really wanted to join 'Fairy Tail', but we don't know magic, and we are outsiders who have only known each other for a day and have unknown origins, people may not necessarily want us."
Magic can be taught, and friendship can gradually deepen in future interactions.
Yuri subconsciously came up with two of the least convincing reasons, but neither Precht nor Warrod pointed them out on the spot.
It is impossible to say that Weston's words just now did not touch the two of them at all.
However, 'transforming from treasure hunters into Mages' is an extremely important matter for them personally or for the entire team, and a decision cannot be made in a short period of time!
Unfortunately, what they lack most now is the time to decide.
——After tonight, they will never have such a good opportunity to attack tenrou jade again.
Just as the air fell into awkwardness, Weston walked over with a glass of juice.
"Yo, three old brothers!"
"Eating and drinking? Are you satisfied with our food?"
The three immediately restrained their expressions, pretended that nothing had happened, and replied with a smile: "Of course, the food is very delicious, thank you for your hospitality."
"Hahaha... You're welcome!"
Weston said and sat down directly next to the three of them.
Obviously, he didn't come over to say hello casually, but had something to say.
"My 'speech' just now, you should have all heard it, right?"
"Ah... yes."
"Not only did we hear it, but Yuri also appreciates your dream very much."
Oh?
Is that so?
Could it be said that the youth and passion factors in his body are shouting?
Weston looked at Precht in surprise, who said this, and then turned to look at Yuri, with a look of joy on his face: "Really?"
"Hehehe... yes."
Yuri said with a smile, looking at the starry sky above his head with emotion.
"Using magic to bring world peace, helping people in need, becoming the number one guild in Ishgar, it sounds so cool!"
