When a group is united in attitude and works together, efficiency can be increased to an unimaginable level.
There are many examples to prove this.
For example, the Magic Council's handling of "Phantom Lord" for violating the guild agreement and initiating a guild war without authorization.
According to standard procedure, the force of restraint in the action unit will first take away members of both sides of the guild war and question and interrogate them one by one.
After thoroughly understanding and carefully verifying the causes and course of the guild war, the action team will submit a complete investigation report to the higher-ups.
Finally, the council's higher-ups will decide whether to punish or warn either side in the guild war.
This entire process will take at least a month.
However, from the time Joseph and others were captured by Lahar to the time the Council publicly announced the punishment for the "Phantom Lord," only three days had passed.
Perhaps it was an attempt to ease tensions with Makarov.
Perhaps out of fear of the terrifying power Fairy Tail displayed in the guild war, the "Phantom Lord" was overwhelmingly suppressed, and even the "Ten Wizard Saints" level guild master Jose was defeated by four juniors.
Due to a combination of factors, the council worked overtime and gave the green light all the way, staying up for two nights in a row, and managed to complete the investigation, interrogation, and judgment of this incident without violating any regulations.
The magic guild "Phantom Lords" has seriously violated the agreement by attacking "Fairy Tail," another orthodox guild, without authorization, and using forbidden magic to threaten the lives of Magnolia's residents.
Therefore, the Magic Council revoked the guild license of "Phantom Lords" and ordered them to disband their headquarters and all Phantom Lord branches within seven days.
Of the five executives of Phantom Lord, Usagi, Gajeel, and Juvia received Fairy Tail's forgiveness, and the Council did not pursue the matter further.
But Aria and Thor, those two villains, are not so lucky; they will face twenty years in a magic-free prison.
As for Joseph, the leader of the "Phantom Lords"...
Hahahaha~~
In the Fairy Tail guild hall, at the familiar bar, Makarov couldn't stop grinning whenever he thought of Joseph's fate.
Joseph, one of the "Ten Wizards of the Ages," was utterly humiliated by a few juniors, and his life-sacrificing magic, bought with his life force, was directly blasted away by Noah.
He was paralyzed on one side, unable to take care of himself, and his magic power was gone, so he could no longer use magic. This was Joseph's final fate.
From a peerless powerhouse to a helpless cripple unable to care for himself, the enormous drop in status was, for someone like Joseph, an ultimate insult to his body, mind, and self-esteem.
It is also the best punishment for ambitious people.
"Everyone! The banquet is about to begin!"
"Let's drink to protecting our home!"
As Makarov's powerful voice rang out, dozens of glasses clinked together, and cheers erupted in unison.
"cheers!"
"Long live Fairy Tail!"
"I'm getting angry... Gray, why are you pushing me? Want to fight?!"
"Who's talking to you? Don't flatter yourself."
"I accidentally bumped into it, and a real man should admit it with his head held high!"
"That despicable stripper!"
"A brainless single-celled organism!"
"..."
Elfman's timely admission of his mistake was of no use; what was bound to happen would happen anyway. At the end of the table, Natsu and Gray, the two arch-enemies, were once again locked in a fierce fight, just like always.
Gray's clothes had disappeared again, and Natsu still had three sausages stuffed in his mouth, but even that didn't stop their daily "battle".
Hey! You two over there!
Erza slammed her wine glass down on the table. Her imposing aura instantly terrified the ice and fire creatures, who had just looked like mortal enemies, causing them to huddle together and tremble under the Fairy Queen's oppressive presence.
Seeing Natsu and Gray quiet down, Erza shook her head helplessly, "When will they ever grow up? If they want to fight, they should go outside. What if they break guild property?"
"Forget it, can you even count how many tables and chairs they broke by now?" Noah told Erza to relax, but his eyes were on Cana.
With one hand, Kana lifted an oak barrel that was half her height, and amidst the cheers of her onlookers, tilted her head back and downed the entire barrel—enough for three or four people to drink for a day—in one gulp.
Will drinking like this really kill someone...?
So, what flows in Kana's veins, blood or wine?
Noah felt the lively atmosphere. Strangely enough, even though the guild was as noisy as a market, he didn't feel bothered at all.
So, after spending so much time in Fairy Tail, even this salted fish has been tainted by other things.
"Woof woof woof~"
Noah looked down and saw the cute little white dog rubbing against his leg, acting all affectionate.
After being resurrected by the power of the cards, Xiaobai returned to its appearance as a young dog, and Kana often brought it to the guild to play.
Cute little animals always evoke a girl's heart. Erza bent down, picked up Little White, and stroked it. "Little White has come to play with Cheese again."
"Woof~"
Although it's just an ordinary dog, Xiaobai has become familiar with the magical cat and the magical hamster, and comes to play with Cheese or Snow White every day.
The little white dog ran happily down the corridor. Macaou, who was at the next table, looked at this scene and suddenly sighed, "Little White, time flies. Kana and it were just little ones back then."
Listening to his good friend's sigh, Wakaba couldn't help but recall the past, slowly exhaling a beautiful smoke ring, "Yeah, I remember Kana was a fan of Gildarts at first."
"It's a pity Gildarts isn't in the guild, otherwise I'd really like to see who can drink more, him or Kana."
Noah, who had been listening to the middle-aged man's conversation the whole time, naturally knew who Gildarts was.
One of the five S-class mages in Fairy Tail, he is a veteran mage who travels extensively, but he is known as the "strongest in Fairy Tail".
Laxus, that battle maniac, his ultimate goal is not to reach the Ten Wizard Saints or become a mage surpassing Makarov, but to defeat Gildarts and become the strongest mage in Fairy Tail.
In Laxus's eyes, Fairy Tail's strongest is greater than the Ten Wizard Saints.
Strangely, this huge guild didn't have a single picture of Gildarts, supposedly at his own request.
What a strange person.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Noah asked Erza and the Fireworks duo, "Gildarts, what kind of person is he?"
"He's a strong man, very strong." Erza succinctly summarized Gildarts, though it was as if she said nothing at all.
As for Macao and Wakaba, these two old hands of Gildarts' generation, they see Gildarts as a "carefree playboy".
Mira finished her work temporarily, sat down next to Noah, stretched, and joined the conversation: "Are you talking about Gildarts? I feel that big drunkard and Cana, this little drunkard, are very similar."
Kana?
Noah turned to look at the drunken girl who was opening the second barrel of sake. He remembered that Cana had said that she had joined Fairy Tail while waiting for someone.
However, it probably has nothing to do with Gildarts, otherwise Cana wouldn't have waited until now.
"Boys! I have something else to announce!"
Seeing that everyone had finished their round of celebration, Makarov jumped onto the main table, stepping on a barrel of wine, and loudly announced:
"The council has sent over the war reparations from the Ghosts. Joseph may not be the best, but he's certainly good at making money. But now it's all ours."
"So I've decided that starting tomorrow, we'll give the guild a complete overhaul!
