"Tyrant?!"
Lucy was greatly astonished. This was the famous Tyrant.
Lucy secretly glanced at Takeshi, who subtly returned her gaze, a look that scared Lucy so much she felt like wetting her pants.
At this moment, Takeshi looked like a very ordinary, albeit burly, uncle, but that unintentional glance made Lucy feel as if she were prey on a display board, liable to be disemboweled by him at any moment.
She finally understood why Takeshi in this form had the title of Tyrant, because he truly looked like a tyrant. Just one glance nearly scared her to death.
Mirajane said to Takeshi, "Alright, quickly release your transformation, don't scare the rookie away."
"Okay."
Takeshi smiled, then released his transformation, returning to his original appearance.
"Phew..."
"You scared me to death."
"I was almost scared to death too. Takeshi, can you please not transform into that state again? It's too terrifying."
"Yeah. Just talk it out. Transforming to scare people isn't right."
"Exactly."
It seemed Takeshi's Toji transformation had left a very deep psychological shadow on them.
Lucy asked, "Besides Flame Emperor and Tyrant, what other titles does he have?"
Lucy was now very curious about Takeshi. Both Flame Emperor and Tyrant were well-known throughout Ishgar, both being super Mages who had risen in the past six months. However, their fame had always been outside the Kingdom of Fiore, so she wasn't very clear about their specific identities. She hadn't expected them all to be Takeshi.
Mirajane said, "Besides those two titles, Takeshi also has the title of Black-winged demon.'"
"Black-winged demon? I've heard of that too. It's said that an island that was occupied by monsters as their lair was submerged by the Black-winged demon, wiping that island clean off the map."
This incident had caused quite a stir at the time and even made it into the newspapers.
"Finally, there's Sword God."
"Sword God?! Is... is it the Sword God I know?"
Lucy didn't react at first, but quickly, her eyes widened, looking at Mirajane and then at Takeshi in disbelief.
Mirajane smiled and nodded.
Lucy was stunned.
If the first three titles were enough to make him a famous Mage throughout Ishgar, the last one was a legend that had shaken the entire continent of Ishgar.
About six months ago, a major event that shocked the entire continent had occurred. The Kingdom of Sobelia held the World's Strongest Swordsman Tournament, and a man won the title of the World's Strongest Swordsman.
Unexpectedly, a monster siege occurred, caused by a dragon behind it.
Ultimately, this man, with a single sword, slew the dragon, and the name Sword God became famous throughout the entire Ishgar continent.
Later, the Sword God gradually disappeared, and the fervor surrounding this event gradually died down. There were even rumors that the Sword God was severely wounded after slaying the evil dragon and eventually died of his injuries.
Lucy had never expected the legendary Sword God to be Takeshi.
Flame Emperor, Tyrant, Black-winged demon, Sword God.
Any one of these four titles were renowned, and yet all four belonged to just one person. This was too terrifying.
Just then, a voice rang out. "You rotten brats, fighting in the guild again!"
Lucy turned to look towards the door and saw a short old man, less than a meter tall, wearing a clown hat and a yellow trench coat, standing at the entrance.
Lucy couldn't help but blurt out, "So small."
Mirajane smiled and went to greet him, "Master, you're back."
"Master?!"
Lucy didn't expect this short old man to be the famous Guild Master of Fairy Tail.
"Yo! Master, I'm back."
Takeshi raised his hand and greeted Makarov with a grin.
Seeing Takeshi, Makarov grumbled, "Hmph! You brat, you cause me so much trouble as soon as you get back."
At this moment, Makarov saw Lucy, the blonde beauty standing next to Takeshi, and his expression softened. "A newbie?"
Lucy quickly bowed. "Yes, my name is Lucy. Please take care of me."
Makarov raised his hand in greeting.
"Hmph!"
Then he let out a light shout, pushed off with his feet, and quickly did several flips in the air, but his attempt to show off failed, and his head hit the railing with a thud. Makarov scrambled onto the railing, using both hands and feet.
"Cough, cough!"
He coughed lightly to cover up his mistake, pretending nothing had happened. Then, with a serious expression, he held up a thick stack of documents.
"Take a look! These are the good deeds you've been up to recently!"
"First, Gray."
"Huh? Me again?!"
Gray was a bit speechless, why was he always the first one called out for criticism? Couldn't it be someone else for once?
"There was no problem until you apprehended the smuggling ring, but why were you then wandering naked in the streets?"
"And then you stole someone's underwear left by the river and ran away? Are you an underwear thief? How many times have you stolen underwear now?!"
Upon hearing this, Gray was extremely embarrassed. He scratched his feet and argued, "This... this... I saw it by the river and thought no one wanted it..."
Makarov said, "They went swimming in the river, and when they came ashore, they found their underwear stolen!"
"This... how was I supposed to know?"
Elfman interjected, "Even so, you shouldn't pick up underwear."
Makarov then looked at Elfman. "Elfman... you brat, during a mission, you actually used violence against the client you were supposed to protect?!"
Elfman scratched his cheek sheepishly. "Because he said a real man should care about his education."
Makarov shook his head and continued to read. "Cana Alberona, falsified expenses, went to a certain pub and drank fifteen barrels of alcohol, and still reported the expenses to the Magic Council?!"
"Was it discovered?" Cana felt a little guilty.
"Loke... it wasn't enough to flirt with Torch's granddaughter, now you've gone and done that with Leiji's granddaughter as well?! The Magic Council, besides the Chairman, only has nine main members in total, and you've flirted with the granddaughters of two of them! A certain entertainment agency also demands compensation for their losses."
When Makarov went to retrieve the documents this time, he was scolded the most by those two old men.
"Next, Takeshi!"
