"The client for this mission is named Warrod Sequen. He is ranked fourth among the Ten Wizard Saints and is one of the Four Kings of Ishgar."
"What?!!"
"The client is one of the Ten Wizard Saints?!"
"What's going on?"
"Why would someone so powerful ask us for help?"...
Almost everyone in the guild was startled by the news.
The Ten Wizard Saints were undoubtedly the top-tier mages of the Ishgar continent.
Just how difficult must a task be if even one of the Ten Wizard Saints needed to issue a request?
"Kael, you must complete this job."
Makarov said to Kael.
"Yeah, I understand."
Kael nodded.
"A mission from the fourth seat of the Ten Wizard Saints? I'm going too!"
Natsu was extremely curious when he heard such a powerful person had assigned a task to Kael. He wanted to tag along to see what was happening and gain some experience.
"You weren't specified. Why are you going?"
Gray said to Natsu in an annoyed tone.
"I'm just curious and want to check it out. What? Is that not allowed?"
Natsu was tired of doing ordinary missions lately and wanted to challenge a high-difficulty task. After all, he didn't like standing still.
As for S-class missions, while they could take them, the prerequisite was that an S-class mage had to be involved.
Since he and Lucy were not S-class mages yet, they naturally had no chance to take S-class missions. He had become so much stronger, so he wanted to see if his current strength was enough to handle an S-class job.
Makarov listened to Natsu, thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Fine, Natsu can go along too."
It was true that Natsu's strength had grown significantly. Going with Kael to train would be very beneficial for him.
"Yeah! Awesome!!"
Natsu jumped up happily.
"It's been a while since we all went out together. It's really nostalgic."
Lucy tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked at the scenery. She felt refreshed.
The clear sky, the vibrant greenery, the babbling water, the birds and beasts, the flowers and butterflies—as the breeze blew, the scent of soil and plants hit her. It made her feel wonderful.
"The air is so fresh and the breeze feels so good. This place is great!!"
Lucy couldn't help but open her arms wide.
Natsu said, "It feels like camping. I'm in a great mood!"
"Aye~~!"
Happy looked at Lucy. "By the way, Lucy, why did you come along?"
"I... Well, Natsu and I are partners! If Natsu is coming, I'm naturally following him."
Lucy immediately found an excuse for herself.
Happy looked suspicious. "Are you just here to leech off the reward?"
Hearing her goal being exposed by Happy, Lucy denied it instantly. "I am not! I just felt like we hadn't gone out together in a long time, so I followed."
Lucy was indeed there for the reward. She knew Kael was very generous. A request from the fourth seat of the Ten Wizard Saints would surely pay tens of millions. If she could just get one million, she wouldn't have to worry about rent for a year.
"Really?"
Happy made a suspicious little face.
"Of course it's true!"
"By the way, the client this time is the fourth seat of the Ten Wizard Saints. Kael was granted the first seat by the Magic Council, right?"
"Yeah!"
Lucy speculated, "Could the fourth seat be upset that Kael suddenly became the first seat and came to cause trouble?"
Happy wasn't sure either. "No... no way, right?"
"Jura, the fifth seat, was already so powerful. I wonder how strong the fourth seat is!"
Natsu was full of anticipation.
Kael smiled and said, "Alright, stop guessing. We'll find out when we get there."
Kael had some impression of the Four Kings of Ishgar, even though they didn't appear often.
It was simple: these four people were eventually crushed by the former first seat of the Ten Wizard Saints, God Serena.
This had caused the originally impressive title of the Ten Wizard Saints to suddenly feel very lackluster.
God Serena was originally the first seat of the Ten Wizard Saints in Ishgar, but he defected to join the Alvarez Empire and became one of the Spriggan 12.
The second through fifth seats combined couldn't even beat the first seat. They were no help at all when the Alvarez Empire invaded.
It was from that point on that Kael felt a bit of disdain for the title of the Ten Wizard Saints.
But jokes aside, the strength of the Ten Wizard Saints was undoubtedly top-tier. It was just that the gap was too large when compared to the Alvarez Empire.
"Ah! Everyone look! There's a house over there!"
Lucy pointed ahead. A small wooden cabin sat on top of a bare hill.
"Excuse us, we are from Fairy Tail."
Lucy politely pushed open the door.
"Shh~~!"
"Be quiet. Plants and trees love silence. If you understand, then shut your annoying mouths."
Lucy, Natsu, and Happy immediately got nervous. After all, the other person was the fourth seat of the Ten Wizard Saints.
"Silence and all that... just kidding, just kidding!! Both plants and flowers love the sound of humans!! Wahahahaha!!"
Warrod Sequen turned his head and laughed loudly.
"A tree?..."
The old man looked like a tree.
"Oh! You've finally arrived, Fairy Tail mages!"
Lucy asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Warrod Sequen of the Ten Wizard Saints?"
"That's right!! I am Warrod Sequen. Just kidding!!"
"Eh————?!"
Several of them were stunned by the old man's words.
"The sentence I just said was also a joke."
"What is up with this old man?!"
Natsu and Happy were a bit dazed by Warrod.
"Hello, Mr. Warrod. I am Kael. I came because I accepted your specified request."
"Kael, so you are Kael. You are so young! Truly a remarkable talent from the younger generation!!"
Warrod Sequen looked at Kael. He could clearly sense the surging magic power inside Kael's body. Although this magic power was not as much as his own, it wasn't far off. He could hardly believe his eyes seeing someone so young with such magic power.
Kael also looked at Warrod Sequen with the "Transparent World." The other person's magic power was similar to the Master's, both around 8-star level.
Although the Master was currently ranked sixth among the Ten Wizard Saints, in the battle against the Alvarez Empire, the Master's strength and contribution were much greater than the other Saints.
"So, what are you doing here?" Warrod Sequen looked at Kael in confusion.
Kael's mouth twitched. "Didn't you ask me to come?!"
Warrod slapped his head. "Ah... I forgot!"
Thud—!
Several people fell to the ground.
"Just kidding!"
