"When you can be as mature as I am, then you can go on S-rank missions."
Erza, at some point, had come to Mirajane's side, proudly puffing out her incredibly firm chest as she spoke to Mirajane.
By the way, Erza had officially entered the realm of the 'Ten Wizard Saints'. She was currently the most outstanding talent among the younger generation in the entire Fairy Tail Guild, on par with Laxus.
"You, armored woman…"
Mirajane's eye twitched slightly as she said angrily.
"Huh?!"
"Who are you calling a hooligan woman?!"
Erza exploded at Mirajane's words; she leaned close to Mirajane and said angrily.
"Boom!" For a moment, Mirajane and Erza once again engaged in battle.
"Boom!"
Terrifying magic power, centered on Mirajane and Erza, continuously surged outwards in all directions, creating ripples in the air.
"Phew~"
Wakaba sat at the bar, watching Mirajane and Erza go all out, and silently lit his pipe, puffing out large clouds of smoke.
Honestly, his strength had also advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two years, which could be seen from his perfect abs…
Wakaba's current strength had long entered the S-Class threshold; if he were in Phantom Lord next door, he could probably open a new element, something like 'Mist Element'.
As for Macao, he actually felt that he could compete with Totomaru for the position of the Fire Element. Perhaps it was because there were only so many fire Magicians in the Fiore Kingdom, and his relationship with Totomaru was quite good.
However, even though Macao and Wakaba had both seen their strength improve by leaps and bounds thanks to Medivh's suggestions and their own relentless efforts, they had no intention whatsoever of competing for the S-Class Mage position in the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Nonsense! Laxus, Ultear, and Mirajane, these three monsters, haven't even passed the Guild's S-Class Mage Examination yet! How could it be our turn?!"
"Besides, other than Laxus, Ultear, and Mirajane, there's also Ere, a genuine dragon, waiting in line!"
"These past few years, Natsu, Gray, Lyon, Cana, and Elfman's strengths have also been advancing rapidly! The difficulty is also getting higher and higher…"
"S-Class examination or whatever! If we can pass, we'll pass!"
"If we can't pass, it's no big deal…"
"After all, even without these competitors! We might not even be able to pass the examinations set by monsters like Medivh, Gildarts, Ur, and Senior Warrod…"
Well, Macao and Wakaba, these two middle-aged men, were very open-minded about the Fairy Tail Guild's S-Class Mage Examination; they had already placed their hopes on a decade or more from now…
It wouldn't be too late to participate when they were fifty years old.
As for Medivh, his eyes were lifeless at this moment; he already felt like he was about to be completely drained.
"No, I need to rest."
Cold sweat beaded on Medivh's forehead…
He admitted he had underestimated the combat power of female dragons, and there were two of them.
However, the good news was that he had almost finished learning all the medical books he could from Ms. Porlyusica!
In other words, he was ready for the second…
To be precise, the fourth simulation.
"Medivh, you still need to work harder~"
Gildarts, who had returned to the Guild, watched the listless Medivh, his mouth constantly curving upwards.
Indeed, his life was the happiest…
Whenever he wanted to, he would go out for some 'health care', or he would use the excuse of taking a mission to go out and have romantic encounters! After it was done, he didn't need to take responsibility, just pull up his pants and run! A scoundrel's life needs no further explanation, just do it.
"You're quite carefree, aren't you?!"
Medivh looked deeply at Gildarts, then his mouth twitched slightly as he said angrily.
"It's alright! Just generally carefree~"
Gildarts sat beside Medivh, ordered a cup of 'Oolong Tea', and was absolutely beaming with pride.
"Fine! You're ruthless…"
"You'd better remember what you said today!"
Medivh smiled, taking Gildarts's provocation to heart.
Well, he couldn't beat a forty-year-old Gildarts…
But could he not beat a twenty or thirty-year-old Gildarts?!
Yes, this Gildarts has already courted death!
"What's wrong?!"
At this moment, Gildarts still didn't understand what he was about to face.
Medivh didn't explain further; he simply put his hands in his pockets and left the Guild without looking back…
There was a look of determination in Medivh's retreating figure.
"What happened?!"
At this moment, a premonition of unease suddenly rose in Gildarts's heart; his eyes flickered with confusion, but he didn't think much of it.
Medivh went straight home…
The house was empty at the moment; Eileen and Selene seemed to have gone shopping together.
"Good opportunity!"
Medivh didn't hesitate; he returned to his room and tightly closed his eyes.
"System! Simulate!!"
Yes, Medivh didn't hesitate and proceeded directly with the simulation.
"Boom!!"
Time, it arrived 15 years ago.
Year X764!
Magnolia Town.
Outside the Fairy Tail Guild…
"Rumble!"
On this day, lightning flashed and thunder roared!
Rain fell like a waterfall…
"Cornelia! Cornelia, wait for me!"
Twenty-five-year-old Gildarts ran out of the Fairy Tail Guild, disregarding the cold rain drenching him, and shouted loudly at the woman who was resolutely leaving.
"I've given you many chances!"
Cornelia did not choose to stop…
She had given Gildarts many chances, but Gildarts had never stopped for her; now she would not stop for Gildarts either.
As Cornelia walked, she lightly felt her lower abdomen, sensing a life brewing within her. She absolutely could not entrust her daughter to someone as unreliable as Gildarts!
Cornelia wanted to raise her daughter to be a lady.
"Goodbye, Gildarts, I'm giving you back your freedom!"
Cornelia said, and a tear gently traced her delicate face.
Cornelia swore that these were the last tears she would shed for Gildarts.
"Cornelia…"
"You can't abandon me!!"
Gildarts ultimately failed to stop Cornelia; he helplessly watched her board the train, and then with a 'thud', he fell to his knees in the mud, crying uncontrollably with snot and tears streaming down his face…
"How pathetic, Gildarts…"
"You couldn't even keep the woman you loved most!"
Just as Gildarts was in agony, a mocking voice slowly echoed in his ear.
