"Your strength has increased!"
"I hope your performance later can match your strength. Don't disappoint me."
Selene seemed to notice Medivh's significant increase in strength. She gently licked the corner of her lips, looking at Medivh and speaking with a chuckle.
"It's alright, Medivh~"
"I'll be gentle with you~"
Eileen's gaze towards Medivh was filled with endless tenderness. She smiled brightly, genuinely happy about Medivh's progress in strength.
"Please spare me!"
Medivh looked at Eileen and Selene, who had come over as soon as his strength showed some improvement, his hair bristling and his hairs standing on end, and spoke helplessly. A few days later.
Fiore Kingdom.
Former Phantom Lord Guild.
"From today onwards, these individuals will become members of our Phantom..."
"I mean, Luminas Guardians! Everyone, applause!"
Jose stood on the podium, beside him were Jellal and others, a group of powerful Magicians who had left Grimoire Heart and temporarily joined their Guild.
"It's Luminas Guardians."
Jellal rolled his eyes at this. Jose was truly too careless with details, even getting their Magic Guild's name wrong. He couldn't stand it anymore. Indeed, there was a reason why Precht had sent him to oversee things.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
"Look at my brain!"
"I mean Luminas Guardians."
Jose Porla's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He bowed humbly, forcing a smile.
"Hehehe..."
"What Luminas, what Luminas..."
"Damn Grimoire Heart, damn Fairy Tail!"
"Just you wait!"
"Once I gain enough power, I will definitely make you my first targets."
Jose thought with malice in his heart. With his talent, as long as he trained diligently, it wasn't impossible for him to advance to the 'Heavenly King' level!
In fact, after being abused several times, Jose had vaguely touched the threshold of human limits. Give him five years, and he would probably gain power close to Jura during the Grand Magic Games...
At this rate of progress! At the latest, in fifty years, when he reached Makarov's age, he would surely become a member of the 'Non-Human' realm, at the 'Heavenly King' level. By then, he would make all those who looked down on him pay a heavy price. Whether it was Grimoire Heart or Fairy Tail!
As for now, circumstances were against him, so Jose chose to endure.
Life is like this; if you endure, everything will pass...
If you endure, you gradually get used to it.
"So from today onwards!"
"The entire Magic Guild must accept my management."
"When you see me, it's like seeing Chairman Jose himself. You can treat me as the Vice Chairman. Does anyone have any objections?!"
Jellal stood with his hands behind his back, his tall figure like an ancient pine tree standing upright. His eyes held traces of killing intent.
"Huh? Why?"
As Jellal's words fell, Gajeel, the 'Iron Dragon Slayer,' who was originally rummaging through the garbage for dinner, looked up with some dissatisfaction. He had grown up following the rule of the jungle and accepted no rules, only the right to speak brought by strength.
"Gajeel made a move..."
"No way! These newcomers are too arrogant!"
"Gajeel, beat them up hard..."
"Cheer up, don't lose face!"
As for the Phantom Lord Magicians, these treacherous individuals, upon seeing Gajeel step forward, they all smiled and shouted excitedly, watching Gajeel's rebellion against Jellal and the others with a sense of schadenfreude.
Next, whether Gajeel got the short end of the stick or Jellal did, they would be happy to see it.
"Boom!"
However, the very next second after these Phantom Lord Magicians' taunts fell, Gajeel felt his vision blur. Jellal, who was originally on the podium, had appeared in front of him at some point and punched him in the face.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, Gajeel instantly lay on the ground, losing consciousness.
"What?!"
In that brief moment, everyone present was stunned. They knew that these newcomers were probably very strong, but they didn't expect them to be this strong?!
Instantly knocking out Gajeel, the Iron Dragon Slayer who ranked in the top ten of their Guild and had great potential?! It was incredible...
"Anyone else?"
After knocking out Gajeel with one punch, Jellal looked up at everyone present, his expression incredibly cold, and spoke.
"Uh..."
For a moment, everyone present fell silent, no one daring to provoke Jellal and the others again.
"What's their background?!"
"I shouldn't have not heard of a strong person of this caliber?!"
Among the crowd, Totomaru, one of the 'Four Elements' and an S-Class Mage, looked somewhat perplexed. With his mastery of the magic world, if Jellal had such terrifying strength, he should have known about it long ago.
"Hehehe..."
"By the way, Jellal, Rustyrose, Sorano, Erik, and Richard are all S-Class Mages of our Guild starting today!"
"Let's cheer for the addition of four more S-Class Mages to our Guild!"
Jose looked at everything before him with a smile. He suddenly felt that the arrival of Jellal and the others didn't seem to be such an unacceptable thing after all!
At least their joining would bring their strength, on the surface, closer to the Fairy Tail Guild, even though these people, strictly speaking, also came from Fairy Tail.
Hmm, using Fairy Tail's power to deal with Fairy Tail! Jose truly was a genius.
And so, just like that...
Phantom Lord gained four more S-Class Mages.
Yes, Phantom Lord's S-Class assessment entirely depended on Jose's mood. As long as he was in a good mood today, he would casually appoint S-Class Mages.
Suddenly, Phantom Lord had a total of eight S-Class Mages, while the distant Fairy Tail only had Medivh, Gildarts, Ur, and Erza, four active S-Class Mages. No matter how one looked at it, the advantage was with Phantom Lord!
Jose: "I don't care, eight against four, the advantage is mine!"
On the other side.
Cana received a long-awaited letter from her mother. After reading it, she went directly to her unreliable, always-drinking-in-the-Guild, sloppy old father.
"Gildarts..."
Cana directly called out Gildarts' name.
"What is it?!"
"My dear little Cana darling~"
Gildarts was like a disgusting, greasy old man...
Well, he was a disgusting, greasy old man...
He moved closer to Cana on his own, constantly fawning over her.
From time to time, Gildarts would also smile and say to others around him: "Look, this is Cana, she's my precious daughter!"
"My mother is coming to Fairy Tail. Be prepared."
Cana took a deep breath, then spoke softly to Gildarts.
"Oh! Oh! Oh..."
"So your mother is coming back?!"
"To be honest, I still miss Cornelia very much."
Gildarts smiled and nodded.
Then, Gildarts noticed something was off. He frowned tightly, looking at Cana and speaking in shock: "Wait, Cana, who did you just say was coming to the Guild? I mean your mother, my most, most, most beloved Cornelia in this life, didn't she pass away a long time ago?"
