"Chen Fan!" "Chen Fan!"
Levy, Jet, and Droy cried out in shock, seeing Chen Fan's figure.
"Oh, look who it is! Isn't this Chen Fan, 'The Hand of God'? I was just bothering your little sister for fun, what, you want to fight me? Tch!" Laxus yelled at Chen Fan, small bolts of lightning crackling around him.
"Relax, relax. Fighting and killing are not good," Chen Fan waved his hand. He knew that in a fight against Laxus, the first to get hurt wouldn't be Laxus, but Levy and Droy. Now was not the time to fight.
"Tsk... coward. One day you will fight me. Everyone in Fairy Tail will fight, hahaha..." Laxus laughed loudly, then turned and left, disappearing in a flash of lightning, leaving behind a trail of a terrifying aura, like the shadow of a Shinigami from Bleach.
Chen Fan frowned. He thought, 'The Fairy Tail civil war won't happen because of me. I don't intend to stop it, but I hope Laxus doesn't go too far because of my involvement.'
After seeing Gajeel lying on the ground, Chen Fan realized Gajeel wasn't seriously injured. He held no grudge against Gajeel. In his memory, Gajeel had often saved Fairy Tail from crises, even almost sacrificing his life to save Levy.
He didn't want to linger there. He greeted Levy and the others, then left. Levy opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she remembered something and closed it again.
After seeing Chen Fan disappear, Gajeel breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since Chen Fan had appeared, Gajeel had been in a cold sweat. With his savage instincts, he knew this seemingly careless man was very dangerous, far more dangerous than Laxus. He hadn't even dared to interrupt when Chen Fan was talking with Laxus.
Drama at the Harvest Festival
The next morning, Chen Fan went shopping with Mira and Makarov. Although disguised, Chen Fan was very famous in this town. Many people recognized him, greeting him warmly. Girls screamed and surrounded him, asking for autographs, making Mira's forehead twitch.
Chen Fan saw Mira get angry. He ran to apologize, but Mira turned her face away and said, "Hmph," ignoring Chen Fan. Chen Fan's face turned sour. He could only follow behind, watching Mira and Makarov chat.
Looking at the decorated houses, Makarov said cheerfully, "Because of the harvest season, the whole town is decorated uniformly."
"Everyone's getting ready for a party," Mira replied happily.
"This is the most lively and grand parade in Fairy Tail," Makarov said proudly.
"It would be nice if Laxus could join too," Mira said.
Hearing Laxus's name, Makarov's smile faded. He whispered, "Don't mention that person."
"I heard from Levy that they've returned to town," Mira said.
"What?" Makarov was surprised, stopping in his tracks. "President?" Mira turned her head, looking at him gently.
"This is quite a coincidence," Makarov lowered his head, sinking into memories.
"Pat." Chen Fan patted Makarov on the shoulder. "Hey, old man, are you getting old? Why have you been lost in memories lately?"
"Don't talk to the president like that, you..." Mira thought Chen Fan was going to joke again, but she saw there was no playful look in Chen Fan's eyes. She couldn't say anything more.
"Don't worry, old man, this parade will be a huge success. I guarantee it with my 'character'," Chen Fan patted his chest.
Hearing that, Makarov felt relieved. Although Chen Fan was not serious, he always kept his promises. However, Makarov couldn't stand Chen Fan's arrogant tone. He glanced at Chen Fan. "Do you still have character?"
Chen Fan jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "What?! My character has always been strong! I'm loved by everyone, flowers bloom when they see me! I'm famous and have no equal in this world... Hey, why are you two leaving? I still have so much to say!" Chen Fan looked up and saw Makarov and Mira had already walked away. He rushed to catch up. Seeing Chen Fan following, Mira and Makarov started to run instead, ignoring Chen Fan's shouts, and laughing heartily.
And so, on the day of the harvest...
Chen Fan held the ticket with a dazed look. A moment like this was the most joyful, and also the most confusing. Who should he choose?
Suddenly, Max announced the Miss Fairy Tail Beauty Contest had begun. Chen Fan forgot about his voting and looked at the stage with enthusiasm. First, Cana appeared. When she realized Chen Fan wasn't looking at her, she snorted angrily. Then Juvia appeared. A friend's wife is not to be desired, so PASS. Finally, Mira was about to appear. But Chen Fan always had a bad feeling. His memory of this period was very vague. In Chen Fan's words, 'I don't have memories of things that aren't beautiful.'
Seeing Mira appear, Chen Fan yelled loudly. He took out a camera and started taking pictures.
"I'm going to do my transformation magic," Mira said on stage. Chen Fan's bad feeling grew stronger.
Sure enough, with a "Puff!", Mira transformed into a Harpy's face. Chen Fan turned to stone. With a "Swish!", she transformed again into Gajeel's face, and the petrified Chen Fan shattered into pieces.
"Bang...!" His camera fell. Chen Fan felt Gajeel's face was very hateful for the first time. His heart was shattered, tears streaming down his face.
"Mira, you've fallen!" Chen Fan said sadly.
Max announced Erza. Chen Fan somehow already had a camera, making Gray and Natsu sweat nervously. 'Rich people are annoying,' they thought, jealous.
"Hehe, let me show you my unique way of dressing up," Erza said. A flash of light appeared, and a Gothic Lolita stood on the stage.
"Oh..., not bad, good, GREAT, VERY GOOD," Chen Fan paced back and forth below the stage, taking pictures from all angles. When he appeared under Erza's skirt, Erza couldn't stand it and kicked him.
"Oh..." Chen Fan flew out with a joyful sound. The others shuddered. 'Is he a pervert?' Mira glared at Chen Fan angrily. Of course, the main reason was that Chen Fan hadn't taken her picture.
Suddenly, a discordant voice was heard. "Contestant number eight, the fairy is me, and the beauty is also me. That's right, everything points to me, and the champion is definitely me... Evergreen, well, this boring beauty contest ends here."
"What are you doing? My performance isn't over yet!" Lucy said to Evergreen who had suddenly appeared.
Gray in the audience yelled, "Lucy, don't look into her eyes!" But it was too late. Lucy had already turned into a stone statue.
"Everyone, run quickly!" Max yelled. Everyone ran, leaving only the Fairy Tail members.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to ruin the festival?!" Makarov yelled at Evergreen.
Suddenly, Laxus's voice was heard. "No, I just want to add some entertainment." As he spoke, the stage curtain opened, revealing all the contest participants had turned into stone statues.
"Laxus, what are you going to do?"
Suddenly, Chen Fan's voice whispered in Evergreen's ear, "Um, can you release the magic?"
Evergreen felt a powerful pressure coming at her. She fell to her knees with a "Bang...!", trembling in fear, looking at Chen Fan.
"Shhh..."
"Boom...!" A flash of lightning exploded beside a stone statue.
Laxus's careless voice was heard. "Hey, I missed."
Chen Fan removed the pressure on Evergreen. Evergreen stood up and quickly ran behind Laxus.
"Chen Fan, if you want these people to die because of you, just try."
"Are you threatening me, Laxus?" Chen Fan squinted.
"I've really been looking forward to this performance. If you want them to return to normal, come and beat me. Let everyone know who's the strongest in Fairy Tail and who's fit to be president. Hahaha." After Laxus yelled, a golden light flashed, and some of the Thunder God Tribe disappeared from the stage, leaving some statues on it, as if mocking everyone's helplessness.
