Acnologia spoke with Makarov, proposing to join Fairy Tail. To this, Makarov naturally agreed without hesitation.
Judging solely from the magic they displayed earlier, it was clear that these two were incredibly powerful. Furthermore, as Erza's parents, there was no reason to turn them away.
Moreover, they had saved Gray's teacher, Ur. As Gray's benefactor, she was essentially a benefactor to the entire guild.
However... the Fairy Tail Guild was different from other guilds. Mages weren't ranked by their magic power levels, but by passing the S-Class Mage trials.
Therefore, Makarov hoped the two wouldn't mind.
Acnologia and Irene naturally had no objections. After reporting their magic types, they soon had the Fairy Tail Guild's emblem tattooed on them.
He chose to have it on his shoulder, while Irene originally wanted it on her chest. After Acnologia gave her a sharp slap on the butt, she changed it to the back of her hand.
From now on, they were members of the Fairy Tail Guild.
On the other side, Gray and Ur cried for a while before finally composing themselves and walking over to express their gratitude.
Acnologia smiled. "You're welcome. From now on, we are comrades in the same guild."
"If you find a normal body, I can also help you switch to it."
"Thank you!"
Ur's voice was gentle. This body was too fragile; it couldn't eat, drink, or sleep, and its magic power was zero. She still preferred her previous body.
"It's a small matter!"
Acnologia waved his hand, not bothered by it.
Gray hugged him again, offering endless thanks, almost treating him like a biological father. From this day forward, as long as Acnologia told him to go east, he would never go west.
However... "I appreciate the gratitude, but why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Huh!?"
*Thud!*
The guild's main door was kicked open.
"We're back!"
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old with pink hair and a white scarf around his neck started shouting as soon as he entered.
The newcomer was, naturally, the main protagonist of Fairy Tail, the Fire Dragon Slayer Mage, Natsu Dragneel!
In front of him was a blue cat with wings that could fly, and behind him was the young blonde girl, Lucy.
"Welcome back! Natsu, Happy!"
"I heard you guys caused trouble again and smashed up the street!"
Everyone laughed and greeted them.
"Don't worry too much about that!"
"Wow, so many desserts!"
Natsu was full of excitement and dove headfirst into the pile of sweets, grabbing them and stuffing them into his mouth.
"Lucy, Happy! Come eat! There's so much!"
Happy liked eating fish, while Lucy felt a bit awkward. She nervously and shyly met everyone's curious gazes and introduced herself: "My name is Lucy Heartfilia."
Mirajane walked over with a smile: "My name is Mirajane. Welcome to Fairy Tail."
"Mirajane!"
Lucy's eyes sparkled. It was true; she had seen many of Mirajane's photo shoots, and she was incredibly popular.
Mirajane was kind and gentle to everyone, except for the occasional bickering with Erza.
"The naked one is Gray, and the one drinking is Cana..."
*Crash!*
At some point, a table slammed into Mirajane's face, smashing her into the wall, leaving Lucy dumbfounded.
On the other side, Cana's eyes instantly became dangerous. Seeing everyone fighting over the desserts, she shouted in rage: "You bastards, knock it off!"
*Bang! Bang! Bang!!*
She rushed over, and a chaotic brawl ensued. Magic power surged as several magic circles unfolded, creating a massive commotion.
Makarov cast Giant Magic and roared furiously: "Stop it, you brats!"
A massive fist sent everyone flying.
He looked down at the shocked Lucy, then slowly shrank back to size, smiling: "Welcome to Fairy Tail!"
At that moment, the others walked over, laughing happily: "Welcome to Fairy Tail!"
Acnologia's eyes also lit up when he saw Lucy. Back then, he was a fan of the Natsu and Lucy ship, and the regrets regarding Lucy's mother had also been resolved.
Seeing Acnologia's eager look, a dangerous light flickered in Irene's eyes: "What are you looking at? Is that little girl really that pretty?"
She now suspected that Acnologia joined Fairy Tail just to look at beautiful women. All that talk about witnessing a new era was just an excuse.
Acnologia looked serious as he watched Lucy mingling with the guild members: "What are you saying? Shouldn't we welcome a new member?"
Irene curled her lip; it better be that way.
Soon, Lucy noticed Acnologia and Irene and walked over, smiling: "And you two are?"
Acnologia smiled: "No need to be so formal, just relax. I'm Acnologia, and this is my wife, Irene."
"We also joined today. You can just call us by our names. If you ever need help, feel free to ask."
"Eh... you're newcomers too?"
Lucy was a bit surprised. Seeing how relaxed they were, as if they were in their own home, they didn't look like newcomers at all.
"Only three hours earlier than you!"
A smile appeared on Lucy's face: "Then we can form a team and do missions together. Natsu said he wanted to form a squad. With you two, we'll have four people, plus Happy the cat."
"This..."
Acnologia hesitated. If he were to form a team, he should be teaming up with Little Erza.
Just as he was about to refuse, Irene agreed directly: "Of course, we'll be a squad from now on."
Irene didn't want to be in a team with that little girl who liked to annoy her. She wanted to see if the girl would get jealous seeing her mom with others.
Meeting Irene's gaze, Acnologia could only nod: "Alright!"
It didn't really matter anyway; there wouldn't be any danger.
"Huh, this feels strange?"
Natsu's head suddenly leaned in. The person in front of him gave him a very familiar feeling, as if they had met a long time ago.
"Acnologia..."
"Even the name sounds familiar?"
Seeing Natsu racking his brain, Acnologia waved it off: "Maybe we met once when you were a child. Why overthink it?"
"Hahaha! You're right!"
Natsu wasn't very smart to begin with. If he couldn't remember, he wouldn't bother. He never did things that required too much brainpower.
He casually draped an arm over Acnologia's shoulder and laughed: "From now on, we're a squad. How about we call it the Fire Dragon Squad?"
Lucy pouted and said: "I think Goddess Squad sounds better!"
Irene said with a smile: "I support Lucy!"
Everyone looked at Acnologia. Facing those three gazes, he felt a lot of pressure.
However... Goddess Squad was clearly not a normal name for a team. What about him and Natsu, two grown men?
"How about you both compromise and call it the Divine Dragon Squad? It has both 'Divine' and 'Dragon'."
"No way!" the three of them shouted in unison.
