Takeshi bellowed, then powerfully swung his fist, his arm rapidly extending and transforming into a giant flaming arm that blasted towards Bora.
Sensing something, Bora turned his head to look behind him, and saw a massive flaming fist appearing right in front of him.
"No—!"
Bora screamed in terror as the giant flaming fist mercilessly slammed into him.
Boom!!!
The massive flaming arm blasted into the mountain wall in the town. It blasted a huge fist-shaped indentation into the mountain wall.
A tremendous sound echoed throughout the entire town, causing it to tremble slightly.
"Gah—!!!"
Lucy was utterly stunned when she saw Takeshi's thousand-meter-long giant flaming arm, her jaw practically hitting the floor. She had thought Natsu being able to eat fire was already outrageous, but Takeshi's magic seemed even more terrifying.
This was simply a monster!
"Uh... not good. I used too much force."
Takeshi immediately dispelled the Fire Fist. Only after truly possessing such powerful strength did he understand why Natsu always caused trouble. He had tried his best to hold back, yet it was still very easy to cause significant destruction.
Just then, the sound of marching soldiers rang out, and Takeshi's ears twitched.
"This... what exactly happened?!"
The captain led a team of soldiers rushing towards them.
Seeing the soldiers, Takeshi's expression changed, and he quickly shouted at Natsu, who was still beating people up, "Natsu, that's enough! The soldiers are here, we need to run!"
After saying that, he pulled Lucy and ran.
The soldiers represented the authorities, and getting caught would be quite troublesome. Once, he didn't run after an incident, which ended up delaying him for several days.
From then on, he learned his lesson and never foolishly stood still again. When he caused trouble, the first thing to do was run.
"Soldiers! Run!"
Natsu was instantly startled and quickly followed them, fleeing.
"Why do I have to run too?!"
Lucy looked bewildered. She was the victim, after all.
Takeshi looked at Lucy and said, "Don't you want to join Fairy Tail? Then come along."
Upon hearing this, Lucy's face lit up with surprise. She hadn't expected to actually have a chance to join Fairy Tail.
"Okay!"
Lucy joyfully ran along with the others.
—
Magic Council.
Bang!
Org slammed a newspaper onto the conference table.
"It's those idiots from Fairy Tail again!"
"This time they actually destroyed half of Hargeon Port! It's unbelievable! Who knows? They might just demolish the entire town one day.
Leiji said, "Don't jinx it. They really might do that."
Those troublemakers from Fairy Tail...
It wouldn't be surprising if they really did demolish an entire town one day.
"It's already been reported to the government that it was for the capture of a criminal, Bora. With the girls' accusations and the human trafficker's confession, this incident is considered closed."
Warrod sighed. His old friend's children were a bit too lively, and he wondered if Makarov's body could handle it.
Even though this was a good deed, Org was still very displeased. Things that could have been resolved more simply were always blown out of proportion.
"Those idiots, causing trouble every day. We've become their cleanup crew."
Siegrain said with a chuckle, "Alright. I actually quite like those idiots."
Org snapped at Siegrain, "You shut up!"
"Those guys are idiots, but among them are also many exceptionally talented individuals."
"That's why they're such a headache."
"It's truly a dilemma."
The other Council members also seemed unsure of what to do this time.
Siegrain exhaled and said, "Just like always, let's turn a blind eye."
"You... you brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"
They had indeed always turned a blind eye in the past, but while it was done, it couldn't be said directly.
"How about we first praise them for their heroic rescue, and then discuss how to punish them?"
Almost everyone standing at the pinnacle of power in the magic world showed expressions as if they had swallowed a fly.
Praising Fairy Tail, who caused trouble daily and gave them constant headaches, was more unbearable for them than swallowing a fly.
Punishing those idiots would make them feel good for a while, but if they praised those imbeciles, they might suffer for a lifetime.
"Hehe." Ultear couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly at their expressions.
Siegrain smiled and said, "It seems everyone's opinions are unified this time. Then, this matter is pleasantly decided. Let's move on to the next agenda."
—
"Wow... it's so big."
Lucy looked at the Fairy Tail Guild in front of her, feeling as if she were in a dream.
A long time ago, she had greatly admired Fairy Tail and vowed that one day she would join Fairy Tail herself. Now, that dream was finally about to come true. Fairy Tail was right before her eyes.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail."
At this moment, the guild was bustling with activity. Some people were looking for suitable quests on the request board, some were singing and dancing, and even more were eating, drinking, and chatting. For Mages who worked freely, every quest was a unique experience, which gave everyone endless topics to discuss.
"Mira! Three beers over here!"
"Coming!"
Mirajane walked over with a tray of drinks and set down three beers. "Please enjoy."
"Mira!"
Wakaba raised his hand and waved at Mirajane.
"Coming, what is it?"
Wakaba took a puff from his cigarette, then exhaled, forming heart-shaped smoke rings. "Go on a date with me next time."
Wakaba's teammate, Macao, said, "You can't. Mira is dating Takeshi."
Mirajane's face immediately flushed slightly. "You... what nonsense are you talking about? I... when did I ever date Takeshi?"
"Didn't you? Don't you two go home together every night and come to the guild together in the morning? I thought you were already living together."
Mirajane was startled. "You... don't talk nonsense. Our homes are closer, it's just on the way."
Others teased, "Even if it's on the way, you don't need to go together every day, do you?"
Mirajane's face quickly heated up.
Seeing her reaction, many people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Bang!
The guild doors were kicked open.
"I'm back!"
Natsu, leading the way, shouted with a fierce expression.
Takeshi and Happy also raised their hands in greeting from behind.
Mirajane's eyes flashed with joy when she saw Takeshi return. "You're back!"
"Hahahaha!"
Many people in the guild laughed when they saw Takeshi and Natsu.
Krov said to Natsu, "You guys caused a big stir again this time. That Hargeon Port incident even made it into the newspapers–"
Before he could finish speaking, a large foot appeared right before his eyes.
"Woah!"
Krov cried out in pain as he was kicked to the ground, smashing a table.
"You bastard! The information about Igneel was fake!"
