Hearing the voices, Weston who was playing a game, Zera who was eating, and Mavis who was reading all paused at once, looking up toward the door.
"Ah, it's Hugh and Stuart!!"
"Kaiser, Belin, Lina, Sarah, and Maria!!"
"It's everyone from the island!!"
The newcomers totaled seven people, all teenagers around twenty years old.
They were residents of Tenrou Island and were the original companions of "Fairy Tail."
"It's actually you guys..."
After a brief moment of shock, Weston immediately put away his game and stepped forward to welcome them in: "It's been such a long time!! How did you all get here?"
"Did you forget?"
"When we parted ways back then, we agreed that we would come to join you in the future!"
"Although it's a bit later than planned, we finally managed to make it here."
After three years apart, the young boy Hugh had grown into a tall and sturdy man, with a physique similar to Warrod.
Ah...
There certainly was such an agreement!
"In the past, we always stayed on the island and knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world."
"If we hadn't come out this time, we wouldn't have known that a war had broken out on the mainland, that you, Master, had made such a name for yourself in the war, being called the 'Fairy Commander,' and even becoming one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints' recognized by the Council."
Stuart couldn't help but express his admiration.
"Back then, Master, you said in the village that you wanted to make Fairy Tail the number one magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, to become a great figure whose name resounds throughout the magic world!"
"Now, you've really done it all!"
"Even though we have great confidence in you and believe you can succeed in whatever you do, we still want to say..."
"Master, you are truly amazing!!"
Despite being apart for three years, everyone was a companion who had grown up together, so they naturally did not hesitate to offer Weston their most sincere congratulations on his achievements.
"How is everyone on the island?"
"In recent years, many new children have been born in the village, but overall there hasn't been much change."
"The few of us didn't want to stay on the island and spend our whole lives in peace and quiet, so we banded together and came out."
"After reaching the mainland, we first heard about the location of Fairy Tail in Hargeon, and then on the way here, we ran into Yuri and Precht, so we came over together."
"By the way, on the road..."
On the other side, Zera and Mavis were also chatting with several childhood girlfriends about their recent situations.
"Zera, Mavis, how far has your relationship with the Master developed? Have you done that?"
"Really?! Then what about...?"
"Wow! Tsk tsk tsk..."
The voices of the several girls grew quieter as they spoke, their faces turning redder as they chatted, occasionally letting out gasps of surprise like "wow" or "ah."
The men talked about personal achievements, while the women gossiped about emotional topics.
The strangeness caused by three years of separation vanished without a trace instantly, and both sides became familiar again, as if they had returned to their childhood.
Two glasses of wine down, and the conversation flowed freely.
In a short while, the companions from Tenrou Island had perfectly integrated into this new family.
After some simple pleasantries, Weston, as the Guild Master and leader, naturally had to arrange housing and work for his old friends.
"The guild doesn't have a dormitory yet, but there are many vacant apartments for rent on the south side of town. I'll have Joey take you there in a bit. After you go, show our guild emblem, and you can get a 20% discount on the rent."
"By the way, I suggest several of you share a lease, as it will be cheaper."
"If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some first, and then I'll just deduct it from your job rewards later."
"As for work, since you've come to a new guild, you must work according to the new guild's rules."
The "Mage Rank Classification System" previously designed by Weston, although there was no movement from the Council's side yet, had already begun to be implemented within "Fairy Tail."
This system used five evaluation categories: Magic Power, Magic, Physical Fitness, Skill, and Intelligence, with 20 points for each category, creating a unified scoring system for ranks. The specific scores and corresponding ranks were:
D: 0-20 points
C: 20-50 points
B: 50-70 points
A: 70-90 points
S: 90-100 points
Currently, only Weston and Precht were S-Class Mages in the guild.
As for the other four, including Mavis and Yuri, although their Magic Power and Magic values were very high, they each had shortcomings in the three areas of Physical Fitness, Skill, and Intelligence.
Mavis and Zera were girls after all, performing slightly worse in Physical Fitness. At the same time, Mavis's Skill was too poor, and Zera's Intelligence was slightly lower.
Yuri and Warrod also failed in the Intelligence department, though the latter also had deficiencies in Skill.
Among these four, the one closest to S-Class standards was Yuri, with a total score of 89.
The total scores of the remaining three were all above 85, overall quite similar.
Additionally, among the new members, Reiya was A-Class and Joey was B-Class.
After briefly explaining the entire process, Weston patted several of his old pals on the shoulders.
"You guys will first need to undergo a strength evaluation with me to calculate your rank, and only then can you officially accept commissions and work to earn money."
Everyone's faces immediately fell: "That sounds like a lot of trouble..."
Weston's expression remained unchanged.
"Being a bit troublesome during testing is to make management easier later, while also reducing the danger of your work."
"Don't count your blessings for granted!"
"You guys only need to take the evaluation; but as the Master, I have so many more things to consider!"
Everyone thought about it and felt it was indeed the case, so they stopped complaining.
The next day, Weston conducted a strength evaluation for several people.
The results were as expected; only Hugh and Stuart barely reached A-Class, while the other five were only B-Class Mages or even lower.
Overall it wasn't bad, and they could be considered the future backbone of the guild.
After completing the evaluation, the group vigorously began various jobs.
Hugh and Stuart remained the inseparable "Sword and Shield."
Both were hot-blooded teenagers in their prime, so they naturally focused their work goals on combat-oriented tasks like clearing magical beasts.
In half a month, they completed three or four difficult jobs, proving their strength to everyone in the guild.
The other five did not have fixed teams and worked alone most of the time.
The arrival of the Seven of Tenrou Island indeed added a lot of color to the daily life of Fairy Tail in the short term, but after everything settled down, the guild returned to its original daily routine once again.
This day.
Weston was in the tavern, relying on Super Ancient Documents to process the commission acceptance and completion status of the guild for the past month.
Suddenly, a figure rushed in from outside in a great hurry.
"This is bad!!"
"Hugh and Stuart have been injured by someone!!"
