"Eisenwald.... We must subjugate them!"
On the train heading to Magnolia, after learning that Marco had been attacked by people from the Eisenwald, Makarov was furious.
The old man had an extremely protective personality, so he immediately set the Eisenwald guild as a target that must be subjugated.
Although Marco hadn't actually suffered any harm and even earned some extra money, Makarov still had to do this.
"We must let them understand that not just anyone can mess with our guild!" Makarov gritted his teeth.
He hadn't taken action much these past two years and it seemed some people were starting to not take them seriously!
When he was young, Makarov had a fiery temper.
As he got older, he gradually became more humble and kind, but that was only towards the members of Fairy Tail.
Facing enemies, facing those who harbored ill intentions towards Fairy Tail, Makarov would let them know what fear was!
"Looks like we're thinking the same thing." Marco smiled and spoke up, waving the documents about Eisenwald in his hand.
Subjugating Eisenwald was both to defeat "Death God" Erigor to complete the task and to teach Dark Guilds a lesson.
In the future, they should do their research before taking action.
Fairy Tail members weren't someone they could casually mess with!
On this point, Marco and Makarov had the same idea.
They had to make those Dark Guild guys understand one thing.
If they dared to touch even a hair on a Fairy Tail member, their entire guild should be prepared to face annihilation!
According to the tropes of chinese novels, since Fairy Tail was the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, so If a members of the number one guild got beaten up while out on training, it would definitely trigger the "beat the junior, the senior comes" kind of plot.
And Fairy Tail stood out for being unorthodox.
As soon as they took action, Makarov would be the first to act, suppressing those who dared to target Fairy Tail members.
Makarov was a wizard saint! the top ten strongest on the entire continent!
[TN : wizard saint is kinda weak ngl, when serena debut it was kinda hype when he display 8 dragon slayer magic but end up getting 1 hit by acnologia, Gildarts probably could beat them all with a smile on his face]
For Eisenwald, which had only recently become famous, this was equivalent to encountering the final boss right after leaving the newbie village.
"Good! First I'll send you back to the guild, then I'll immediately go knock on their door!" Seeing Marco holding the documents about the Eisenwald guild, Makarov immediately spoke up.
He jumped down from his seat and started cracking his knuckles, looking like he was preparing for a big fight.
Eisenwald?
What kind of nobodies were they?
How dare they come pick a fight with their Fairy Tail?
They must be severely punished with a heavy fist!
"We still need to wait a bit. The Magic Council hasn't figured out where Eisenwald guild location is yet, but with those four prisoners, they should get an answer soon." Marco spoke up to calm the rather agitated Makarov.
Seeing Makarov's stance, it looked like he couldn't wait to go single-handedly flip over the Eisenwald guild.
Makarov could easily do it of course, but Marco couldn't let him do that.
Eisenwald guild master Erigor was his prey, he couldn't let Makarov steal the kill.
"Then let them enjoy their freedom for a while longer."
Hearing they didn't know the location, Makarov sat back down in his chair.
Wendy blinked her big eyes beside them, watching the interaction between Makarov and Marco.
She could feel the protection of the guild and the concern for guild members' safety flowing through their words.
This made Wendy increasingly look forward to joining Fairy Tail, to becoming a part of Fairy Tail.
It was the same for Mystogan.
What kind of guild Fairy Tail was could be seen from Master Makarov.
This must be an incredibly warm guild.
*****
With Wendy and Mystogan's anticipation, the train stopped at Magnolia Station and the group of four got off.
As soon as they got off, Wendy and Mystogan felt Fairy Tail's influence on this city.
The Magnolia citizens coming and going in the station all greeted Makarov warmly, then casually chatted and joked with Marco.
They would also curiously look at the new 'faces', Wendy and Mystogan.
The citizens were already used to Fairy Tail always taking in some orphaned, lonely children.
In this friendly atmosphere, the four arrived at the guild hall's front door.
Looking at the magnificent guild hall, looking at the "Fairy Tail" text and logo above, Wendy's eyes were full of anticipation.
At this moment, she even felt a bit nervous.
"Finally home!" Looking at the door before him, Marco sighed.
He had been away for quite a while this time and had been camping in the woods the whole time.
He really missed the food at the guild, and missed the soft bed at home.
Home really was the best!
Marco pushed open the big door forcefully and the noisy sounds from inside the guild immediately came out.
"Wow wow wow, look who's back!"
"Isn't this our Marco who went on his first long trip? Did the job go smoothly?"
Seeing Marco push open the door and come in, Macao and Wakaba immediately started teasing him, their eyes filled with smiles.
Everyone was happy to see Marco return from his quest.
They weren't actually that worried about his safety.
Especially Macao, Wakaba and the others who had been in the guild for at least ten years or so, they understood Master Makarov's habits.
As soon as Marco set out, Master Makarov disappeared too.
He definitely went to protect Marco in secret, no doubt about it.
"Why are you two old guys always here? Don't you need to work to make money? you just drinking at the guild every day." Marco rolled his eyes and complained about the two old guys, then he moved aside to let Mystogan and Wendy enter.
"Let's welcome our two new members to Fairy Tail!" Makarov, who came in with them, immediately jumped onto a table and shouted to everyone.
Everyone's gazes turned to Wendy and Mystogan.
"Wow! What a cute little girl!"
Seeing Wendy, the guild exploded.
Both men and women exclaimed, calling her cute left and right, they're very enthusiastic.
As for Mystogan, he had already bought a mask and hat on the way, wrapping himself up tightly.
Everyone just thought he had a shy personality, so they didn't tease him.
"This is Wendy! This is Mystogan!" Makarov first pointed to the red-faced Wendy, then pointed to Mystogan.
The guild mates very cooperatively cheered, constantly calling out their names.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail!"
