Lu Li arrived at the guild, and as soon as he entered, he heard the familiar sounds of fighting.
Natsu and Gray were fighting again. He was used to this; Natsu and Gray fought almost once a week on average.
Lu Li sat on a chair as if nothing had happened: "Why are they fighting this time?"
"They're fighting over a quest request."
A cute blue kitten said.
The blue kitten was Happy. Two months ago, an egg fell towards Lu Li, and he caught it.
Sensing a kitten incubating inside, he immediately guessed it was Happy.
At first, he thought about keeping it, as he also liked small pets. But later he thought about it and gave Happy to Natsu.
Compared to him, Natsu needed Happy's companionship more. Now Natsu was no different from a little brother to him; there was no need to snatch what originally belonged to him.
Natsu was naturally overjoyed to get the egg, and not long after, Happy hatched.
"Happy, here."
Lu Li opened his palm, and a lively fish appeared in it.
"Fish!"
Happy's eyes lit up upon seeing it, and he happily hugged the fish.
"Lu Li is the best!"
Lu Li's house was built next to a small waterfall, where fish resources were very abundant. When he had nothing to do, he could fish there while cultivating.
Then he stored them in his personal space and took one out when he wanted to eat.
At this moment, Ding dong ding dong!
The bell above the Fairy Tail guild suddenly rang.
Natsu and Gray both stopped fighting.
"This way of ringing the bell...!!"
"Oh oh! Could it be!!"
"Gildarts!!"
"Oooooohhhh!!!"
"Gildarts is back!!!"
Hearing this way of ringing the bell, almost everyone in the guild cheered.
Gildarts was the universally recognized strongest Mage in the Fairy Tail guild, the idol worshipped by everyone in the guild.
Knowing their idol was back, they were naturally all very excited.
"Gildarts?"
Happy looked at Lu Li in confusion.
Erza explained: "Gildarts is the strongest Mage in the Fairy Tail guild, and currently the only S-Class Mage in Fairy Tail."
Erza also had a faintly excited look on her face. She still remembered how shocked she was when she saw Gildarts' magic.
Lu Li also thought to himself: Finally back.
"Gildarts!!"
"Gildarts is back!!"
The crowd on the streets of Magnolia Town was also in a commotion.
[Magnolia is switching to Gildarts Mode. Citizens! Please proceed to the designated locations quickly! I repeat! ...]
Almost shortly after the broadcast announcement.
Rumble rumble!
The center of the city began to move. In a short while, a passage from the south and north leading to Fairy Tail appeared in the center of the city.
After seeing this, Happy complained in terror: "The city... split open——!!!"
Lisanna explained: "Because Gildarts uses magic that smashes objects upon touch. If he accidentally spaces out while walking, he'll crash into residential houses, so the entire city was modified with magic."
"Ehhhh——?!"
Happy was dumbfounded.
Lu Li's mouth also twitched. Although he had seen it in the anime, seeing it with his own eyes felt incomparable to the anime.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a black cloak walked over.
He waved from afar, shouting cheerfully: "Yo! Everyone, I'm back!"
"Welcome back! Gildarts!"
Many people greeted him warmly.
"Oh oh! It feels so good to be home!"
Natsu shouted excitedly: "Gildarts!! Fight me!!"
Gildarts looked at Natsu, seeing a bruised and swollen face, and barely recognized him: "Natsu! You fought with Gray again."
"Cut the crap! Fight me!"
Natsu rushed towards Gildarts. Gildarts stood still, pressing his hand on Natsu's head, keeping Natsu immobile no matter how hard he tried.
"Hey hey! I just got back, don't welcome me like this! Let's fight next time."
Saying that, Gildarts flicked his finger on Natsu's forehead.
Swish——!!
Natsu flew backward, crashing into tables and chairs with spinning eyes.
Happy complained with a shocked face: "It's over already!!"
In Happy's perception, Natsu was very strong. He didn't expect him to be taken out by Gildarts so easily.
Lu Li activated 'Dragon God Perception Method' and clearly felt a terrifying Magic Power contained in Gildarts' body. When his perception touched Gildarts' body, it suddenly shattered.
Lu Li was startled. He didn't expect Gildarts' Magic Power to be so powerful that it could unconsciously shatter even his perception.
Gildarts also sensed it and looked at Lu Li:
"A newcomer to the guild?"
