With the help of the Magic Power Developer, Laxus once again made significant progress in the field of magic! So much so that the current Laxus now has enough confidence to contend with powerhouses at the Ten Wizard Saints level.
Laxus didn't want to say much about last year's S-Class Mage Examination; a loss is a loss, and he's not someone who can't accept defeat!
But for this year's S-Class Mage Examination, Laxus is determined to win; no one will be able to shake his position.
However, now is not the time to compete with Ultear and Mirajane for the S-Class position.
The most important thing right now is only one: to make those bastards who dared to target his beloved Fairy Tail pay a heavy price.
Laxus deeply loves Fairy Tail, and he will absolutely not allow anyone to underestimate or harm Fairy Tail.
"Attack!"
Just as everyone from Fairy Tail was hyped up and ready to fight the enemy, Mavis waved her small fan and shouted loudly.
"Oh!!!"
As Mavis's words fell, the Magicians from the Fairy Tail Guild immediately streamed out, rushing towards the Dark Guild Magicians outside the town who intended to attack the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Mother, the reason I fell asleep just now was because you 'foresaw' that these Dark Guild Magicians would come to challenge the Fairy Tail Guild, and that's why you made me fall asleep, right?!"
Before Erza prepared to leave the Fairy Tail Guild and launch an attack on those blind Dark Guild Magicians, she first turned around and looked at Irene, asking.
It should be known that the disciplined Erza does not drink alcohol, but for some reason just now, she also got drunk and fell to the ground like the others in the guild, and after waking up, she forgot many things, as if she had blacked out...
"Haha~"
"As expected of my daughter, you actually found out."
Irene merely smiled gently upon hearing this, then directly admitted it.
"Erza, you're a big girl now!"
"You should also be more considerate of your Mother and her difficulties~"
"After all, Medivh isn't in Magnolia Town right now, and I'm really bored by myself! This isn't like the Alvarez Empire, where there are criminals I can play with..."
"It's not easy for me to encounter a group of clueless toys who came to my doorstep, so of course, I have to play by myself for a while first~"
Irene spoke with a bright smile on her face, chuckling.
Hmm, Irene's words were well-reasoned and had no problems whatsoever!
After all, Irene's 'looks' justified it!
"Sigh..."
"I understand, just be a little careful."
"This isn't the Alvarez Empire; even if these Dark Guild Magicians make mistakes, the Magic Council will handle it..."
After Erza reminded her Mother Irene to remember to abide by the laws of the Fiore Kingdom, she drew the knight's sword from her waist and walked outside.
Confused, Erza only reminded Irene not to forget to obey the law...
But she didn't say that she would obey the law.
Since they provoked their Fairy Tail Guild, they would have to pay a heavy price.
"Oh dear~"
"An angry Erza is truly terrifying!"
"It seems the Dark Guild Magicians outside are in trouble~"
Irene looked at her daughter, who seemed to have her fur ruffled like a scarlet lioness, and couldn't help but murmur.
"But what I didn't expect was that little Erza could actually guess that the mastermind who secretly orchestrated all of this was none other than me."
Irene believed that everything she had done had been very careful...
But she didn't expect to still be discovered by her clever and intelligent daughter.
Yes, the main force of Magicians from the Fairy Tail Guild, who were sent to these Dark Magic Guilds hidden within the Fiore Kingdom, have all left now...
The person who leaked the secret intelligence that now was the best time to destroy the Magic Guild Fairy Tail and make a name for themselves in the dark world was Irene herself.
Since Irene herself couldn't easily leave Magnolia Town to find trouble with those Dark Magic Guilds not protected by law...
Then let the troubles come to Magnolia Town to find her, Irene; there's essentially no difference, it's just a game to pass the time anyway~
Yes, this wave is a sting operation.
All those Dark Magic Guilds that have a grudge against the Fairy Tail Guild will not escape.
"Forget it..."
"Since this matter has already been discovered by Erza, there's nothing that can be done! From what I know of Erza, she would never spread what I've done everywhere, after all, little Erza currently has no evidence, and what's more, I am her Mother! So, I still need to find a scapegoat in advance to take the blame for me."
As Irene thought this, she made a decision in her heart.
At the same time.
Medivh, who was currently attending the Ten Wizard Saints meeting at the Magic Council, suddenly yawned, and a faint, illusory female voice seemed to echo in his mind.
"What?"
Suddenly, Medivh's expression instantly turned serious...
Irene's voice was echoing in his mind.
At this moment, Irene was vividly recounting to Medivh what had happened in the guild after Medivh and Makarov and others had left the Fairy Tail Guild...
As well as Irene's speculation about the identity of the mastermind behind this incident.
"Alright! So it was you, brat, causing trouble behind the scenes!"
Medivh muttered softly...
At the same time, Medivh's gaze, filled with immense ferocity, landed on Jose Porla, who was sitting diagonally opposite him in the small conference room.
"Huh?"
Jose was still bewildered at this moment; he had no idea what was happening.
"Boom!"
Before Jose could think further, Medivh had already rushed in front of him, swinging his palm and delivering several hard slaps to Jose's old face.
"I didn't expect you, this treacherous villain, to actually hire a Dark Magic Guild to deal with Fairy Tail, it's truly disgusting..."
Medivh angrily shouted as he struck.
"What?"
"How did you know I intended to use a Dark Magic Guild to deal with the Fairy Tail Guild? Do you perhaps also possess mind-reading magic or telepathy?!"
Jose was utterly dumbfounded by Medivh's words.
To be honest, Jose had indeed considered using a Dark Magic Guild to deal with the Fairy Tail Guild, but this method currently only existed in Jose's imagination; he hadn't truly implemented it yet!
Just as Jose made up his mind to contact the legendary Dark Magic Guild Tartaros after the Ten Wizard Saints meeting, Medivh suddenly shouted, rushed in front of him, and delivered a powerful slap to his old face.
Jose was also startled by Medivh, directly blurting out his thoughts, which was equivalent to a self-incrimination.
Well, if you count Medivh's zero-frame start with that big slap, then Jose could barely be considered to have received Medivh's great memory restoration spell.
"Heh heh..."
"You admit it, right?"
"The employer mentioned by those Dark Magicians currently attacking the Fairy Tail Guild is you, right?!"
Medivh sneered, thinking to himself, as expected, the invasion of Magnolia Town by Dark Magicians and the attack on the Fairy Tail Guild were all orchestrated by Jose.
"Ah?!"
"No, I haven't implemented it yet!"
"I just had this idea..."
"Those Dark Magicians attacking the Fairy Tail Guild were not hired by me."
After hearing Medivh's words, Jose first froze, then loudly protested his innocence.
"Heh heh! You're still stubborn even now?!"
Medivh sneered, his hands wrapped in Dragon Slayer Magic, delivering a series of collapsing punches to Jose's old face.
"It really wasn't me!"
Jose felt wronged for the first time!
Jose had been cowardly, afraid, and regretted things in his life, but he had never felt wronged.
When he was young, he was a well-known magic genius, and when he grew up, he was a Saint Ten Wizard who was treated as an honored guest wherever he went!
Only today, he clearly did nothing, yet he was being told that he did all of it, and he felt wronged to the extreme.
"Slap! Slap! Slap..."
Unfortunately, the only response Jose received was Medivh's continuous collapsing punches.
For a moment, everyone present was stunned, even Hibern and Ulfheim didn't react in time.
"Crack~"
Before long, the door to the Ten Wizard Saints conference room was pushed open once again, and the large-bodied Magic Council Chairman Crawford Shem strode in. As the apparent highest administrator of the Council, he naturally had to make an appearance at the Saint Ten Wizard gathering. However, Crawford, who had originally intended to just say hello and leave, suddenly froze in place, deeply shocked by the sight before him.
He saw Medivh fiercely beating Jose Porla, one of the Saint Ten Wizard.
"Magicians of the Fairy Tail Guild, what exactly do you want to do?"
"The moment I entered the conference room, I saw you assaulting a Saint Ten Wizard!"
"Do you even have any respect for the Magic Council and the Saint Ten Wizard?!"
"This is simply too outrageous!"
Crawford Shem roared at Medivh, as if in a fit of rage.
