"Could it be that Hibern or Ulfheim Senior raised a dog in the conference room?! Though it's not appropriate for a junior like me to say, this dog is truly ugly, not only in appearance but also in its barking…"
Medivh said, looking at Hibern and Ulfheim.
"It seems I was mistaken."
"Then it's the dog raised by Mr. Crawford, the Council Chairman of the Council?"
After Medivh realized that Hibern and Ulfheim were unmoved by his words, he knew that this matter should have nothing to do with them…
They now seemed to maintain a neutral attitude.
"Brat, do you know what you're saying?!"
"Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Didn't that old fellow Makarov tell you who I am?"
After hearing Medivh's words, Jose's entire old face was twisted with rage. Terrifying and viscous magic power emanated from his body, making the entire conference room used for the Ten Wizard Saints gathering feel a bit eerie.
"Brat! Listen to me…"
"If that old fellow Makarov hasn't taught you how to respect a Magician Senior whom you absolutely cannot afford to offend?"
"Then I don't mind, on behalf of Makarov, giving you a good lesson…"
As Jose spoke, a faint glow of magic power had already lit up on his fingertip.
As he spoke, Jose intended to activate his magic and give Medivh a painful lesson.
People teaching people often fail; events teaching people succeed in one go!
"Slap!"
Before Jose could activate his magic…
Medivh had already appeared in front of Jose with lightning speed, and he swung his arm, delivering a resounding slap to Jose's old face.
"Pfft…"
Medivh's slap was delivered with considerable force, directly making Jose see stars. While spitting out fresh blood, he also spat out two molars from his mouth.
"My teeth!"
Jose looked at the teeth he had spat out, his expression ferocious and terrifying.
He, Jose, was merely a genius with extraordinary talent who became a Saint Ten Wizard at just over thirty years old! Why should he endure such pain?
Do you know how much severe damage a big slap caused to the heart of a young Saint Ten Wizard like him?!
"Dogs, these things, just have loose mouths…"
"They just know how to bark wildly at people! Clearly, they lack education!"
"If your master doesn't know how to educate you?"
"I don't mind educating you on behalf of your master…"
Medivh mercilessly threw Jose's words back at him.
"I…"
Jose only felt like his angina was about to act up, and he nearly spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
"Presumptuous! You clearly don't regard me at all. A little-known Magician dares to attack a Ten Wizard Saints? I ask you, is there any justice left?!"
This time, Jose was truly enraged. He unleashed all his magic power, his entire being shrouded in a dark aura, vowing to make Medivh pay dearly.
"Foolish!"
Medivh looked at Jose, who was unleashing astonishing magic power in front of him, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He couldn't defeat the invincible 'Black Dragon King' Akunorologia, couldn't defeat the immortal Black Wizard Zeref, couldn't defeat Magician King August, couldn't defeat the numerous Divine Dragons entrenched in the North Continent Kiltina, who were eyeing him covetously, but he couldn't defeat you, Jose Porla?!
Are you, Jose Porla, a nobody?!
"Boom!"
Medivh merely waved his hand towards Jose Porla, and a massive Gravity Magic immediately descended, completely shattering the magic power around Jose. The terrifying force made Jose feel a slight sweetness in his throat, and then he half-knelt on the ground.
"So strong! Overwhelmingly strong…"
"Impossible! How could the sky of this world be so vast?"
Jose's face was filled with horror. He had never imagined that there could be such a terrifying Magician in this world?! One must know that he was Jose Porla, who had already reached the pinnacle of conventional Magicians and was respectfully known as a Ten Wizard Saints! He was defeated just like that, defeated by an unknown small fry.
Even if Makarov himself had attacked, he couldn't have defeated him so easily, could he?!
It was as if he and Medivh were not Magicians of the same level at all.
"A frog in a well."
Medivh seemed too lazy to bother with Jose Porla, who was filled with horror. He waved his hand, and the immense Gravity Magic directly plastered Jose onto the nearby wall…
Then, Medivh confidently sat down in the seat only accessible to the Ten Wizard Saints. He looked at Hibern and Ulfheim not far away and asked, "Do I now have the qualification to sit here?!"
"Of course."
Hibern nodded gently.
With Hibern's sensitivity to magic power, he instantly judged that Medivh was a strong individual on the same level as him! One of the monsters who had entered the 'Non-Human' realm.
"Hmph."
Ulfheim snorted coldly, saying nothing more.
Yes, Ulfheim, like Hibern, detected Medivh's 'true strength.' After confirming that Medivh was on the same level as them, he tacitly agreed that Medivh had the right to sit as their equal.
No matter what world, its underlying logic remains unchanged…
Only those with strength can earn others' respect, and only true strong individuals can possess extra privileges.
"Warrod, Makarov…"
"Your Guild truly has many talents! It has produced quite a few good members!"
Ulfheim glanced at Warrod and Makarov, who had just walked in from outside the door, preparing to take their seats, and sarcastically said with a cold voice.
It wasn't that Ulfheim had an issue with the Fairy Tail Guild; he simply disliked Medivh's overly aggressive attitude…
Furthermore, Ulfheim's temper was just like that; he wouldn't change it no matter who he dealt with.
"Hehe, indeed."
"To be honest, Medivh is the most outstanding one among the countless young talents in our Fairy Tail Guild!"
"Ulfheim, you should know this too! Young people, they naturally have a bit of a fiery temper, but this is also normal. As the saying goes, if a person isn't a bit wild in their youth, then they aren't truly young. Please be more tolerant and don't be a stranger…"
As Warrod spoke, he gently waved his hand towards Makarov, Ur, and Gildarts beside him, signaling everyone to take their seats.
"Isn't that Jose Porla?"
"Why are you sitting on the floor like a stray dog?"
"Do you think you're not worthy of sitting at the same table as us?"
"Quickly get up! You know I'm always generous and don't mind you…"
Just as everyone successfully took their seats, Makarov scanned the conference room. He seemed to be looking for something until his gaze fell upon Jose, who was pressed to the ground by Medivh's Gravity Magic. Only then did he show a look of sudden realization and spoke to Jose with a slightly feigned tone.
"Makarov, you're doing this on purpose!"
Jose lay on the ground, clenching his teeth, his eyes flashing with endless malice. He wished he could get up immediately, flay Makarov alive, and swallow him whole!
"Oh dear…"
"Medivh, you really are something."
"How can you keep pressing Jose down with your Gravity Magic?"
"Why don't you quickly release him and let him take his seat?"
Makarov looked at Jose, who was still not getting up, and chuckled softly…
He turned to look at Medivh beside him and, with an uncharacteristically gentle tone, blamed Medivh for not letting Jose get up.
"Jose?!"
"Are you talking about the famous Saint Ten Wizard Jose Porla?"
"That's strange, why haven't I seen him?"
"As for the person I'm suppressing with Gravity Magic, he's not Jose Porla, just a rabid stray dog…"
"I really don't dare to release him, fearing he might bite others present." Medivh looked at Makarov, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"Oh dear! Medivh…"
"How can you mistake a person for a dog?"
"Even if Jose is ugly, like a mangy dog, you can't do that, can you?"
"Listen to me, quickly release him!"
Makarov continued to play along with Medivh.
"Alright! Since you want me to release him, I'll release him then…"
Medivh, feigning helplessness and a willingness to compromise for Makarov, retracted the immense Gravity Magic he had applied to Jose.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo…"
After Medivh withdrew the Gravity Magic he had unleashed…
Jose only felt a lightness come over him, and he took on the posture of someone who had survived a disaster, gasping for breath, with a raging fire in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Laugh!
Go ahead and mock me all you want now!
You'll have your turn to cry, Makarov and Fairy Tail, just you wait, I'm not done with you."
"This guy…"
Ur had been secretly observing Jose's expression, and the moment a fierce glint flashed in Jose's eyes, a chill ran through Ur's body.
"Calm down."
In response, Makarov secretly waved his hand at Ur, signaling that now was not the time to act.
If they attacked Jose now, then they would lose their moral high ground.
Although their Magic Guild Fairy Tail was usually somewhat unrestrained and loved freedom…
However, they were still members of a Light Magic Guild at the moment, and they couldn't do things that only Dark Magic Guilds would do.
Unless they were forced.
Or, if Jose made the first move.
"Cough, cough…"
"Since everyone is here, the Saint Ten Wizard meeting officially begins!"
Warrod saw that their Fairy Tail Guild had given the Magic Council enough of a warning, so he cleared his throat slightly and began to preside over this year's Saint Ten Wizard meeting.
"Magic Guild Fairy Tail?"
"Their strength is truly unfathomable…"
At the same time, Hibern, sitting in the main seat, gently shook the cup of milk in his hand.
"Warrod's strength needs no elaboration; we are very clear about it!
He is undoubtedly an existence on the same level as us!
Medivh, who defeated Jose just now, his true strength is definitely not below Warrod's."
"When entering earlier, Ur also showed the aura of the 'Non-Human' realm.
It seems she is already at the threshold of the 'Non-Human' realm!
Perhaps she has already stepped one foot into our realm, who knows."
"And then there's Makarov!
I thought he would only hover at the threshold of the 'Non-Human' realm his entire life, never able to successfully enter that realm!
Unfortunately, I seem to have misjudged; Makarov's aura has become even more profound than before."
"Most importantly, the middle-aged man sitting not far from me, with short orange hair and a slicked-back hairstyle!
He should be the one from the rumors, Gildarts, known as the strongest Magician in the west of the Ishgar Continent, right?"
"It is said that he possesses power comparable to the 'Ten Wizard Saints'!
Now it seems the rumors were not only correct but underestimated his strength.
Such a man, who makes me feel a bone-chilling threat just by sitting there, I haven't encountered in who knows how many years…"
After taking in Medivh, Warrod, Makarov, Ur, and Gildarts, Hibern couldn't help but show a wry smile.
"One Magic Guild, five monsters who have stepped into the 'Non-Human' realm.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have imagined it even in my dreams!"
"No wonder the Magic Council tried every means to disband or weaken this guild!
The strength of this guild is truly too powerful; it has already broken the balance of the continent…"
Hibern's expression showed helplessness.
Although the Magic Council is now thinking of ways to weaken the Magic Guild Fairy Tail, don't you think it's too late?!
The current Fairy Tail is no longer at a level where you can weaken it just because you want to…
"Perhaps Ulfheim and I should have accepted the Council's invitation and officially joined it.
That way, the Magic Council would have the power to balance the magic world…"
"Alas! It's a long and arduous journey!"
Thinking of this, Hibern sighed helplessly.
At this moment, Crawford Shem, the chairman of the Magic Council, was leisurely drinking tea and eating various delicious snacks in his office, looking completely at ease!
He just didn't know at this moment that simply because he agreed to the requests of his Council members to hold a 'Ten Wizard Saints' meeting and use the Ten Wizard Saints to weaken Fairy Tail.
He didn't know if Fairy Tail was successfully weakened after the meeting!
He just never expected that after this meeting, Hibern and Ulfheim, who had always refused to join the Council, would suddenly agree to their previous invitation and officially become members of the Council, and he, the former chairman of the Council, would just be out.
On the other side.
After President Makarov, Senior Warrod, along with Ur, Medivh, and Gildarts, the undisputed main force of the Fairy Tail Guild, left Magnolia Town, someone leaked the news, spreading word that the main force of the Fairy Tail Guild was currently absent, and their combat power was exceptionally weak, making it the best time to defeat them.
All at once, over a dozen Dark Magic Guilds, such as the Dark Magic Guild King Cobra's Fangs, Dark Quartet, Commander of Everlasting Darkness, and Curse of the Undead, united.
Their goal was only one: to defeat the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Is that the Fairy Tail Guild ahead?"
On a hilltop near Magnolia Town, a group of fierce-looking Dark Guild Magicians were secretly observing the Fairy Tail Guild through telescopes.
"The rumors say that the main force of the Fairy Tail Guild is currently not in the guild.
I wonder if it's true or false?!"
These Dark Magicians were very cautious; they did not choose to rush in immediately.
They seemed to be waiting for the intelligence gathered by their scouts who went to the town.
"Report, boss!
It's been confirmed.
The main force of the Fairy Tail Guild is indeed not in the guild.
Now is the best time for us to invade Fairy Tail…"
Before long, several scouts returned from different directions to the allied forces of these Dark Magic Guilds, reporting to the presidents of their respective guilds.
"Hahaha! Heaven helps me!"
"Little ones, charge with us and completely tear apart these Light Magician bastards!
As long as we eliminate Fairy Tail, the number one Light Magic Guild in the Ishgar Continent, we will become famous in one battle and become true honored guests in the Dark Realm!"
Upon hearing their scouts' words, the leaders of these Dark Guilds all showed ferocious expressions.
They gripped their weapons, pointed them directly at the Fairy Tail Guild in Magnolia Town at the foot of the mountain, and shouted loudly.
"Oh!!"
"Kill!"
In an instant, hundreds of Dark Magicians transformed into a dense tide of people, rushing towards Magnolia Town.
Their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty malevolence, and even the surrounding air was tinged with a hint of blood.
"It's the Magicians of the Dark Guild…"
"Oh no! Run!
Beware of these madmen…"
In Magnolia Town, when the townspeople saw these members of the Dark Magic Guild, looking like delinquent youths, they all showed expressions of terror, hiding in nearby buildings, not daring to come out.
"Hahaha! You guys just hide well!"
"After we eliminate Fairy Tail, we'll come back for you…"
These Dark Guild Magicians seemed to enjoy being feared.
They looked smug as they strode towards the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Bang!"
"Magicians of Fairy Tail, prepare to die!"
Before long, when these Dark Guild Magicians kicked open the door of the Fairy Tail Guild, what greeted their eyes was a group of Fairy Tail members who had drunk too much and were lying on the ground, passed out.
"Huh?"
For a moment, these Dark Guild Magicians were all stunned.
No way? Drinking in broad daylight?
Are they that undisciplined?
Is this still called a Light Magic Guild?
By the way, what's with this guild of all drunkards?!
Does such a guild really need them to destroy it?
Even if they didn't intervene, they'd probably die from excessive alcoholism soon enough, right?
"Oh my~"
"May I ask if there's anything you need?"
Just as these Dark Guild Magicians looked bewildered at the Fairy Tail Guild hall, where everyone was passed out and they couldn't even find an opponent…
A playful voice sounded in everyone's ears, and an unparalleled beauty with scarlet long hair appeared in front of them, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Heh heh! This woman doesn't seem to have any combat ability."
In response, these Dark Guild Magicians all showed sinister smiles.
