It has shifted from dealing with Magic disasters occurring in various places to prioritizing local resolution, even when Demons appear; the Council only sends troops if they cannot resolve it, and the rest of the time is spent strictly cracking down on the existence of Dark Guilds.
Now that such an opportunity has suddenly arisen, obtaining intelligence on Dark Guilds, why wouldn't they quickly capitalize on it?
The Council also wouldn't dare do something foolish like concealing intelligence; if Fairy Tail were to suffer a blow due to concealed intelligence, the Council's reputation would be completely ruined.
However, it still depends on the duration of the war between the two sides; if it lasts too long without a clear victor, it's inevitable that the Council might develop other ideas.
After all, Fairy Tail destroying those Dark Guilds is like taking money out of the Magic Council's pockets.
Gar plans to depart in a few days.
During this time, the Council provided a lot of intelligence; indeed, many Dark Guild members or people of unknown identity have entered the Fioore Kingdom.
Makarov has been at the Council these past few days, so Gar cannot leave for now.
After all, leaving Ur alone at the Guild is not reassuring, mainly because there are too many children.
And it's not just these few who were rescued.
When Laxus was doing a C-rank mission in a nearby city before, he also rescued a little green-haired child who became his little fanboy and joined Fairy Tail; now he constantly clashes with Gray and Lyon.
Because these two constantly challenge Laxus.
In the eyes of Laxus's little fanboy, it's simply unforgivable.
Gar also recognized him as Freed Justine, who would later become the captain of the Thunder God Tribe's personal guard, and who uses Dark Writing Magic.
There's also Evergreen, who loved stories about Fairies since she was a child and wanted to find Fairies.
Because the full-scale war between Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart became known throughout the Continent, Evergreen, who heard the news from somewhere.
Ran all the way here by herself to join the Guild, wanting to find Fairies.
However, after joining, she found that only the name was related to Fairies, so she is now a bit withdrawn.
Recently, she's always been running towards the forest in the West, acting mysterious....
Gar guessed she might be mistaking Gengar for a mysterious Pokémon; if you think about it that way.... it's actually not wrong.
Pokémon and Fairies aren't that different, and they also have the Fairy type.
Also, upon hearing that Fairy Tail declared war on one-third of the Continent's Dark Guilds, they felt it was incredibly cool.
So, Levy, Jet, and Droy, the three little ones who grew up playing together, ran over and joined Fairy Tail; they are the later Shadow Gear team.
With so many children, there are already several groups.
Laxus and Freed Justine are one group; this bunch is the type that finds everyone annoying.
Gray and Lyon are one group; this bunch finds Laxus annoying, and incidentally finds each other annoying.
Levy, Jet, and Droy are one group; this bunch consists of the studious childhood friend and the laid-back childhood friends.
Miriana, Bukkanan, Hugh, and Simon, the children who were rescued, are one group; this bunch is the hardworking type.
Cana can get along with anyone; she's Gildarts' little princess, the detached existence type.
Erza is the type who will just stay and train by herself if you don't talk to her first, hmm.... the super hardworking type.
Evergreen is impressive; she's the type who isolates everyone....
Thinking about it gives Gar a headache; it's better to leave it to the Old Man.
This group of seven, eight, and nine-year-old children makes Makarov relive the feeling of being a grandfather.
When you get old, you should enjoy the happiness of family.
With such a group of children surrounding him, filled with laughter and joy, what more could Old Man Makarov not be satisfied with?
