"Is that so? I already know about it. So, what are your plans now?"
After listening calmly to what Ultear said, Master Makarov didn't show much shock or surprise. Instead, he asked about Ultear's future plans.
"I, I plan to go back. Since it's a sin I committed, I should atone for it. I'll continue to infiltrate them, and that way I can get firsthand information. This way, I can atone for my sins to some extent," Ultear said, her voice filled with increasing self-reproach, and she burst into tears as she recalled the sins she had committed earlier.
"Ultear, it's Okasan's fault. I'll be with you, don't worry, I won't leave you behind again this time." Ur embraced Ultear, feeling heartbroken, but at this moment, she was just Ultear's mother.
"No, for now, this is the best method, and the one least likely to arouse their suspicion. Okasan, you should join Fairy Tail; that's also the best arrangement."
Ultear lifted her head from Ur's embrace at this moment, determined to choose this plan, and also wanted her mother to join Fairy Tail, after all, this guild was truly different.
"But…"
"I disagree."
Before Ur could finish speaking, Master Makarov forcefully interrupted. First of all, he disagreed, as he knew the strength of the second generation Master, and if not handled well, it could lead to major problems.
"If Ultear chooses to return to Grimoire Heart, then I have an idea that can guarantee Ultear's safety and also completely foil Grimoire Heart's plans."
Zorn suddenly interjected, making the three of them pause and turn their heads to look at Zorn at the same time.
"The plan is like this… like this…"
Under Zorn's arrangement, their opinions were unified. The Master, Zorn, and Ur came out of the library, but Ultear was directly sent to another place by Zorn using magic, returning to the Council, by Jellal's side, from that other place.
As the three of them reached the guild entrance, a cry of surprise suddenly came from within the guild.
"Oh, what do you mean something like this happened!" Erza suddenly cried out in a soft, adorable voice.
Zorn looked at the few people in front of him whose bodies had clearly been swapped by magic, seemingly already knowing the current situation. It must be the soul-swapping magic at work.
"It's ancient Yunbula language magic, meaning your souls have been swapped."
The Master said in a deep voice, with his hands behind his back.
The few people who were still noisy immediately walked up to the Master with hope: "Master, Grandpa?"
Loki (Natsu) — Natsu (Loki), Lucy (Gray) — Gray (Lucy), Erza (Happy) — Happy (Erza).
"The reason is that request. Your personalities have been completely exchanged, which is soul-swapping magic." The Master further explained, but this explanation, instead of calming them down, made them even more agitated, and they began to scold Natsu, who was now in Loki's body.
"The most important point is that if it's not dispelled within 30 minutes of activation, you'll never recover!"
The Master's final warning made the still angry crowd immediately panic: "Then… how many minutes have passed?"
"You have 14 minutes left, hurry up, it's the final deadline," Zorn interjected from the side.
"Sona, Master, Grandpa, quickly think of a way, what is that recovery magic!"
"Well, since it's ancient magic, I… I don't know. Well, you guys figure it out yourselves!" The Master scratched his nose indifferently, directly telling them to find a solution themselves.
Zorn was right beside him, and he happened to see the slyness in Makarov's eyes at that moment, and he couldn't help but sigh for this old rascal.
"Master? Zorn?" Lucy (Gray) turned her head, looking at Ur and Zorn with hope, wishing to get a solution.
"This, this, Master can't do anything, but don't worry, Gray, this way Master will have two daughters! Master will dote on you even more." Ur tried her best to comfort Gray, but her words, though warm, directly pierced Gray's heart, having no effect whatsoever.
Zorn, on the other hand, simply spread his hands, indicating that he was utterly powerless to solve it.
The Master, Ur, and Zorn walked together to the bar, discussing how to arrange things next.
"Since that's the case, then I'll…" Lucy (Gray) instinctively tried to take off her clothes again. Gray (Lucy) immediately cried out in fear to stop her, but this action immediately piqued the interest of Erza (Happy) nearby.
"Oh, right, this should be fun. I want to try it too, Re-equip, Re-equip, A-yi, how is it?"
Erza (Happy) ignored Happy (Erza)'s protests and directly used Re-equip magic, changing into a girl's swimsuit, and posing by the side. This action directly gave the male members of the guild an eyeful.
"Stop it quickly…"
"Bang~" Happy (Erza) directly bumped into an arm and fell to the ground crying, lamenting that her dignity as an S-Class Mage was gone.
The few people whose souls had been swapped demonstrated various half-baked magic spells in the guild, crying out in pain.
Fortunately, Levy arrived in the end and was diligently researching the soul-swapping magic, hoping to help them.
————Separator————
"Ur, welcome to Fairy Tail. You will directly serve as an S-Class Mage of the guild. With your strength, it's entirely sufficient."
The Master directly imprinted the blue Fairy Tail emblem on Ur's right arm.
"Welcome, congratulations, please guide me more in the future."
The other people in the guild were cheering for Levy while counting down for those whose souls had been swapped, making them nervous and anxiously waiting on the side, still being mischievous.
"Only 15 seconds left!" Macao held up a sign, counting down, urging them to be more anxious.
"I understand!" Levy suddenly stood up and said.
"I'll explain it to you right away,"
"10, 9, 8"
"Bang~" The few of them directly rushed towards Macao, ganging up on him and beating him up, directly interrupting his countdown, then quickly urged Levy to cast the magic.
"Levy-chan, the last few incantations should be like this."
Zorn also saw this scene and suddenly remembered that it seemed the entire guild would be affected by the soul swap in the end. He quickly teleported behind Levy, reminding her that there was a mistake in one place.
"Oh, oh, good, right."
"Aruloboya, Tesla Ruji, U…" As Levy chanted the incantation, words slowly floated in the air, revolving around the few people.
In the end, no other accidents occurred. Everyone found that they had swapped back and were overjoyed. Only Erza seemed to have noticed something.
"Zorn, how did you know there was a problem with the last few incantations? Could it be that you already knew how to solve it?" Erza looked at Zorn with sharp, scrutinizing eyes.
Zorn, who had just felt he arrived in time, immediately tensed up. He looked up and saw Erza, Lucy, Gray, Natsu, and others looking at him seriously.
"Th-that, I said, would you believe me if I said it was an accident?" Zorn stammered his explanation, but it was better not to explain. As soon as he explained, their footsteps pressed closer to him.
"No, Zorn, you really… don't run, stop right there!"
Seeing this, Zorn immediately ran out of the guild, with Erza and the others chasing frantically behind him, causing people in the town to lean out and curiously watch the scene.
