Early morning,
Magnolia Town.
Gildarts, Ye Yang, San Mao, and A Gou arrived at the front of the town.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!..."
San Mao and A Gou, who had just finished their banditry, reacted instantly to the sound of the alarm bell, quickly moving behind Ye Yang.
San Mao said in a panic, "Boss, boss, did this uncle trick us? He wouldn't bring us to his territory to kill us, would he!"
"Look, the alarm bell above is ringing. It's obvious this guy sent a signal to the people inside."
"Let's go, boss!"
A Gou: "Me too!"
Ye Yang looked at the two, who were like living treasures, feeling somewhat speechless =_ =.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, as if thousands of horses were galloping.
Hearing this commotion, San Mao and A Gou immediately understood that the other party's people were coming out. They quickly moved from behind Ye Yang to in front of him, shielding him.
San Mao, no longer timid, said proudly, "Boss, don't be afraid. This commotion probably means there are over a thousand people."
"As long as A Gou and I are here, a thousand will come, and a thousand will fall!"
"You hold off this uncle, and we'll handle the rest!"
A Gou: "Me too!"
"Hahahaha!"
Gildarts couldn't have missed their actions and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing him laugh, San Mao quickly said, "You old uncle, you've finally revealed your true colors, haven't you? Only our boss, being young, would be brainwashed by your empty promises."
"Thankfully, I'm here. I saw through your scheme long ago. Tell me, how many people are there? I, San Mao, will take them all on!"
A Gou recalled last night's scene.
"San Mao, weren't you begging the boss yesterday?"
"A Gou, what do you know? I did that to make the enemy lower their guard, to directly infiltrate the enemy's ranks. It's a strategy, do you understand? Looking at how big and burly you are, you definitely wouldn't understand."
"This family would fall apart without me."
Ye Yang's face was now full of black lines.
"A Gou!"
"I'm here, boss!"
"Get him out of here!"
"Yes, sir!"
San Mao: "Huh?"
As the town rose, a path leading to Fairy Tail appeared before the three of them.
Ye Yang slowly walked forward, following behind Gildarts.
Meanwhile, A Gou curiously observed his surroundings. He had never seen such a spectacle and was very curious. Of course, he was dragging a half-dead San Mao with his right hand as he walked forward.
Soon, the four arrived at the entrance of Fairy Tail.
Before the three could stop to take a good look, Gildarts walked straight ahead.
"Buzz~"
The guild's main door instantly disintegrated into small pieces of wood.
Suddenly, boisterous sounds came from inside.
Macao, holding a wine glass, shouted, "You're back, Gildarts! Come, come, drink!"
"Hahaha, wait, wait, is the Master here?"
"Gildarts, fight me!!"
A pink-haired boy excitedly ran towards Gildarts.
"Bang!"
The boy was casually slammed directly into the ground.
"Later, Natsu, I have something to do."
He said, walking towards the bar.
At this moment, Makarov, who was at the bar, saw his guild's door broken and was staring at Gildarts with a face full of black lines.
"How many times have I told you! Can't you just open the door properly?!"
"Every time you break the door, do you know how much money that costs?!"
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, next time, definitely next time."
"But I've found a promising talent for you~"
"Hearing about a new member, Makarov then looked towards the three young people standing at the entrance."
Gildarts then shouted, "You three, come in."
Subsequently, the three slowly walked forward.
Just then, the once lively guild suddenly fell silent. San Mao and A Gou suddenly felt many people looking at them.
Then they began to whisper.
"Which of the three in the middle do you think is Gildarts' illegitimate child?"
"I disagree, couldn't all three be?"
"What you said makes so much sense."
"But I think the one in the middle is most likely; he looks a bit like a playboy."
"Tsk tsk tsk, how can you say that about this young man? You're just jealous of him."
"What did you say?! I'm jealous of him!"
"Are you looking for a fight?!"
"Fight then, I'm not afraid of you!"
With that, the two started fighting, and the once quiet guild instantly turned into a chaotic brawl.
San Mao and A Gou watched, dumbfounded.
Suddenly, a human-shaped projectile flew towards the three.
San Mao and A Gou immediately noticed. A Gou flew forward with a kick, and the person was instantly sent flying backward.
Then San Mao and A Gou also joined the battle.
At this moment, Ye Yang and Makarov, one young and one old, at the bar, both had faces full of black lines. Makarov was because of the guild members, and Ye Yang was because he heard himself being called Gildarts' illegitimate child.
Gildarts, however, was laughing carelessly.
Makarov lifted his gloomy head, instantly transforming into a smiling face.
"Hahaha, they're not usually like this. It must be your arrival that made them so lively."
"Cough cough."
"Young man, what's your name?"
"Just call me Ye Yang, old man."
"Hehe, welcome, little Ye Yang, to Fairy Tail."
Makarov stood up and was about to pat Ye Yang's shoulder when an egg directly hit his head. The egg liquid and shell slowly flowed down Makarov's smiling face.
(▼dish▼#)
"Can't you bastards be a little quieter for this old man?!"
With that, Makarov's body slowly grew to an enormous size.
He swept out with a single palm, knocking everyone who was fighting away.
Then he transformed back into a kind and amiable old man.
"Little Ye Yang, what color emblem do you want, and where do you want it tattooed?"
"Gin… Gin would be fine. Tattoo it on the back of my right hand."
("Damn, is this Giant Magic? It's truly shocking to see it head-on.")
"A Gou! San Mao!"
"We're here, boss!"
"Come quickly and get your emblems tattooed."
"Okay, boss, yes, boss."
After the three got their tattoos, Ye Yang followed Makarov into the inner hall.
No one knew what the two of them discussed inside.
When Ye Yang came out, he saw that San Mao and A Gou had already integrated with the guild members, bragging about how powerful their boss was.
The people around listened, dumbfounded.
Just then, Natsu, looking unconvinced, saw Ye Yang come out and immediately rushed forward, shouting,
"I heard you're strong, but I don't believe it! Come and fight me!!"
"Huh?"
"Ye Yang, who had just come out, was still completely bewildered. Being naturally lazy, he hadn't even heard clearly what was said when he saw Natsu already rushing towards him."
