Within the Fiore Kingdom.
"Are they repairing the road outside?!"
"That's strange, that street was just repaired…"
"Does the Mayor not have any money again?!"
Countless townspeople, looking at the damaged streets, docks, or train stations, felt extremely puzzled, mistakenly believing it was another one of the Mayor's methods to collect taxes.
Magic Council ERA conference room.
Under the statue of the goddess, Makarov looked at the series of bills in front of him, gently clutching his heart, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"What a joke…"
"What are these brats doing?!"
"Didn't we agree that no matter what happened, you would wait for me to return before dealing with it?!"
Makarov felt like his heart attack was about to strike.
"As for publicly assaulting a Ten Wizard Saints, forget it…"
"But this bill, Fairy Tail, you can't deny it, can you?!"
"Although you were the first to defeat the Dark Guild Magician…"
"It's also a fact that you caused property damage to the public!"
"So, you still need to compensate."
Crawford finally regained his confidence as the Magic Council ERA Chairman. He looked at Makarov with his head held high and chest puffed out, speaking coldly.
"Please give us a few more days…"
Makarov covered his face, speaking helplessly.
"Regarding the public's property damage, I will bear the cost."
At this, Medivh was calm and composed. After all, they were in front of outsiders~
He couldn't let Makarov or the Fairy Tail Guild lose face.
"Medivh, it's great that Fairy Tail Guild has you!"
Upon hearing this, Makarov hugged Medivh's leg and cried.
"Don't cry, Makarov…"
"After we go back, we still need to settle accounts clearly."
Medivh gently stroked Makarov's bald forehead, chuckling.
"Medivh, are you a devil?!"
Makarov immediately stopped crying. He looked up at Medivh and asked.
"Hehe! I'm just settling accounts clearly with my brother, that's all."
Medivh looked at Makarov below him and smiled slightly.
In any case, the Saint Ten Wizard meeting ended hastily.
Crawford wished he could immediately send these plague-like Magicians from Fairy Tail Guild back to Magnolia Town. He secretly swore that as long as he was the Council Chairman, he would never allow Magicians from Fairy Tail Guild to appear in the Council again.
As Medivh and Ur and others walked out of the main entrance of the Magic Council…
Medivh inadvertently saw a familiar statue in the square.
"This statue is still here?!"
A hint of emotion flashed across Medivh's face.
"This is the statue of Lord Siegfried, a legendary hero from the ancient times four hundred years ago, who repelled the dragons! He is a role model in morality, strength, and everything! He is also one of the founders of our Magic Council ERA! Of course, it's just a legend. No one knows whether this hero truly existed in the world…"
Crawford looked at Medivh, who had suddenly stopped, unmoving, and was staring blankly at the statue, and couldn't help but explain the history of the sculpture.
"Hehe."
"I know more about this statue than you do."
Upon hearing this, Medivh just chuckled lightly and then walked forward on his own.
Siegfried was Medivh's alias four hundred years ago. At that time, among the human allied forces, only a few people like Irene knew Medivh's true name, and that was all.
"Hmm?"
Crawford's expression was puzzled. He looked at Medivh's retreating figure, lost in thought.
Thus, the 'Ten Wizard Saints' meeting incident finally came to an end!
In this incident, the Dark Guild Magician was punished.
The public received compensation.
The Magic Council proclaimed its power!
Fairy Tail solidified its title as the strongest.
Only Josef Porla was inexplicably beaten up.
Thus, a world where only Josef Porla was injured was born!
"I can't stay here for another moment!"
"If I don't return to Fairy Tail Guild…"
"These kids are probably going to flatten the entire Ishgar continent!"
Makarov roared, announcing the return of the Fairy Tail members.
After Medivh, Makarov, Gildarts, Warrod, and Ur, a total of five people, rode in the Magic Four-Wheel Drive, and with Makarov's magic power fully unleashed, they stirred up a cloud of dust at the gate of the Magic Council and disappeared without a trace.
"Phew…"
Crawford finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been standing there, watching them leave. He wouldn't feel completely at ease until these Fairy Tail Magicians rolled out of his Council.
"So, Lord Hibern, and Lord Ulfheim…"
"Do you two still have something to discuss?"
After Crawford sent off the Fairy Tail members, he turned around and looked at Hibern and Ulfheim, who seemed to have no intention of leaving after the meeting ended, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"How should I put it?!"
"Actually, our matter is somewhat related to you…"
At this, Hibern and Ulfheim exchanged glances. They approached Crawford and spoke in low voices.
"What matter?!"
Crawford asked with a bewildered expression.
"Let me speak!"
After Hibern and Ulfheim exchanged glances.
Finally, Hibern stepped forward. He looked at Crawford, bowed slightly as a sign of respect, and softly said, "It is that, starting today, Ulfheim and I will officially join the Magic Council."
"So what?"
"Why am I, the Chairman of the Magic Council ERA, unaware of your joining the Council?! What exactly is going on?"
Cold sweat broke out on Crawford's forehead. He felt that something was not quite right.
This wave, this wave seemed to be directed at him…
"Actually, this matter…"
"Has already received the approval of all Council members, except for you!"
"Also, starting today, I, Hibern, am the Chairman of the Magic Council ERA! This matter has also been approved by all Council members, except for you."
A hint of pity couldn't help but appear in Hibern's eyes as he looked at Crawford.
"Why exclude me?"
"I don't agree! I absolutely don't agree…"
"If you become the Chairman, what will I do?"
Crawford panicked. His obese body twisted in front of Hibern. He forcefully grabbed Hibern's clothes and protested loudly.
"Thank you for your continuous work for the Council."
"Magic Council ERA will not forget your contributions…"
At this, Hibern's eyes reddened slightly, and he squeezed out a few tears, feeling regretful for Crawford's forced retirement.
"Don't you understand? You're fired…"
Ulfheim interrupted Hibern's emotional speech. He took out Crawford's luggage, which the Council members had packed in advance, and threw it beside Crawford…
And in front of Crawford, he closed the Council's main door.
"Eh?!"
Crawford looked at Hibern and Ulfheim, who were now standing inside the Council, waving at him, and fell silent.
After all this commotion, this 'Ten Wizard Saints' meeting was not aimed at Fairy Tail Guild, but at him, the Magic Council ERA Chairman…
To be precise, it was aimed at the former Chairman, Crawford Shem.
Thus, a world where only Crawford and Josef Porla were injured was born.
"No, didn't we agree to target Fairy Tail?!"
Crawford looked at his luggage and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, a thought of retaliating against society suddenly arose in Crawford's heart.
"Magic Council! And Fairy Tail, just you wait!"
"One day, I will make you pay…"
Crawford roared. He pulled his luggage and dejectedly left the Magic Council ERA, which had caused him so much sorrow.
As the former Chairman of the Magic Council, Crawford knew many of the Council's secrets.
Plus, he was proficient in ancient texts. With these two things in hand, he could make a living in any force on this continent!
Of course, the prerequisite was at the cost of betraying the Magic Council's secrets…
But now he wasn't the Chairman anymore. What did this damned Council have to do with him? Let them all die!!!
"Perhaps I can bring this guy."
"At least a bodyguard would do…"
