There was a panic within the Council.
This kind of sudden alarm hadn't happened for many years.
They also didn't know what was going on in the past few months.
Last time in the Jushi Mountains, it was like a small Etherion, which startled them, what is it this time?
A group of Speakers quickly ran to the monitoring room.
On the illusory projection, the location of the eruption had already been marked, and a Magician reported:
"Based on the location of the Magic Power eruption, Lock-On."
"It has been confirmed to be the forest in Norwich City, but this Magic Power eruption is not as massive as the last time."
"The energy in the core area is only over 12 million."
With the previous eruption of 550 million Magic Power as a baseline, this time only having over 12 million really wasn't much.
However, the people in the Council didn't have many smiles.
It depends on how you compare it; the energy value of over 12 million is indeed not much compared to the last time, but it's also impossible for a Magician to cause it.
So...
Is this some kind of Magic weapon this time?
Everyone was also unsure in their hearts.
Chairman Crawford Hume spoke:
"Contact the nearest Council branch and immediately send people there."
The Magic Council began to operate.
Not many days passed.
The investigation report came, and Chairman Crawford Hume, along with six other Speakers currently in the Council, gathered for a meeting.
Crawford Seam had several investigation reports in front of him. He used his magic to distribute them and spoke with a headache:
"Take a look."
Everyone took the report and started reading. The Second Speaker, Ogre, frowned:
"Grimoire Heart again?"
Chairman Crawford Hume spoke:
"That's right."
"According to the traces at the scene, it's the Magic of Azuma, one of Grimoire Heart's Purgatorys Kin."
"Including Norwich City, the Magic Power in the underground for dozens of miles around has been drained."
"This is clearly the source of the Magic Power for this explosion."
Makarov's old friend, Speaker Yajima, said in a deep voice:
"There are also fragments of spatial Magic formations at the scene. It should be Grimoire Heart wanting to hunt someone."
"If nothing unexpected happens..."
"It should be Gar."
Speaker Ogre spoke:
"They really know how to stir up trouble..."
But he couldn't say anything blaming Gar.
They had created such a scene to hunt a member of a Light Guild. Leaving aside whether Gar could escape, this behavior was already too excessive. If they let it go, how could the Magicians of the Light Guild feel at ease?
Chairman Crawford Hume spoke:
"Quite a few Magicians and Guilds have already protested."
"Grimoire Heart has indeed gone too far this time."
Speaker Ogre spoke:
"But troops have already been dispatched."
"After this period of pursuit, quite a few Guilds under Grimoire Heart have been eliminated."
"The rest have hidden themselves, and further actions won't be very effective."
Chairman Crawford Hume thought for a moment and spoke:
"Even so, troops must be dispatched; we can't ignore it."
"How about this..."
"Before, we were always pursuing the Guilds under Grimoire Heart."
"Let's send troops to take out a few laboratories of the Oracion Seis and the lurking Demons of Tartaros."
The other Speakers also nodded one after another upon seeing this, but then their headaches started again. A Speaker spoke:
"This can't go on like this."
"The war between Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart has already lasted for several months."
"If this kind of thing happens a few more times."
"We can't keep covering for them."
"The main thing is that it affects the peaceful development of the Magic world."
Except for Yajima, the other Speakers nodded one after another. Chairman Crawford Hume pondered for a moment:
"Let's get through this matter first."
"After that, I'll contact Makarov."
"Since the two sides started fighting, the development of the Magic world has never been stable."
"It's indeed time to talk."
Since the Speaker had spoken, the others had no objections and nodded one after another.
The minority obeys the majority.
Yajima had no choice but to wait and notify Makarov later.
And at this moment.
In a valley somewhere in the southeastern part of the Ishgar Continent.
By the side of a picturesque lake.
Gar sat on a stool made of Magic Power by the lake. On the stone table in front of him were many bottles and jars, as well as a large pile of materials. Several Pokémon were released and were playing by the lake.
