Lu Li nodded: "Yes, hello. I joined the guild half a year ago. My name is Lu Li."
"Not bad, not bad."
Gildarts could feel a very powerful Magic Power hidden in Lu Li's body, giving him a faint sense of threat.
This perception was human instinct, especially for a strong person like Gildarts who had been walking on the edge of life and death; this instinct was even more accurate.
Gildarts didn't say anything on the surface, but he was very shocked inside. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy could actually give him a very dangerous feeling. This was incredible.
"Gildarts!"
At this time, Makarov's voice rang out.
"Oh oh! Master, long time no see!"
"How did the job go?"
Gildarts said with a smile: "Need you ask? With me personally handling it, it was naturally a piece of cake."
"Oooooohhhh!"
"As expected of Gildarts!"
"He actually completed a Ten-Year Quest so easily! Next, he should be challenging a Hundred-Year Quest, right?"
...
Happy asked stupidly: "Hundred-Year Quest?"
Erza explained: "You've heard of it too. The second floor of the guild has S-Class quests. Because they are very dangerous, only S-Class Mages in the guild can take them. Above S-Class quests are SS-Class quests, which are more than twice as difficult as S-Class quests. Further up are Ten-Year Quests, meaning quests that no one has been able to complete for at least ten years. Above Ten-Year Quests are Hundred-Year Quests. Once issued, no one has been able to complete them for over a hundred years."
Makarov breathed a sigh of relief seeing Gildarts unharmed, then frowned and asked: "Why did it take so long this time?"
Gildarts scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well! After the mission was completed, the client insisted on treating me well, so I stayed there for a while longer."
Makarov's face darkened. He watched this brat Gildarts grow up and knew his personality best. The client must have used a honey trap, making Gildarts linger and forget to return.
However, Gildarts himself had a prodigal personality. He wouldn't stay in one place for long. Once he got bored, he would come back to the guild.
"So you know to come back?"
"Now, now! Don't be angry! Master, even if I'm outside, my heart misses everyone in the guild."
Then Gildarts reported this mission to Makarov. For a mission of this difficulty, after returning to the guild, he had to report the details to the Master.
Everyone in the guild was still somewhat excited, and there was more laughter than usual.
Gildarts was not only the idol of many Mages in the guild, but also the backbone and trump card of the guild. As long as he was in Fairy Tail, the guild was the strongest, and everyone had someone to rely on.
Lu Li was thinking about how to secretly learn magic from Gildarts. After thinking about it, he felt it was better to just say it directly to his face.
Based on what he knew from the anime, Gildarts had a good personality, especially tireless in cultivating the guild's younger generation. Whether it was Natsu and Gray, or Mirajane and Erza, they all received guidance from Gildarts. So there was no need to beat around the bush.
After figuring this out, Lu Li stood up and walked inside.
Both Makarov and Gildarts noticed him.
Lu Li stood in front of Gildarts, a slight fanaticism in his eyes, and said: "Uncle Gildarts, I want to learn your magic."
Gildarts was stunned hearing Lu Li's words and looked at Makarov in confusion. What's the situation?
For Gildarts, the only person in the guild besides the Master who could make him feel danger was Lu Li, so he had a deep impression of Lu Li.
Hearing Lu Li say this, Makarov rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"?!!"
"Lu Li wants to learn Gildarts' magic?"
"For real?"
"Gildarts' magic is the Super Advanced Destruction Magic—Crash. Could Lu Li learn that too?"
"Maybe. We've seen Lu Li's talent!"
...
Hearing Lu Li's words, everyone in the guild couldn't help but discuss enthusiastically.
But Gildarts became even more confused. What are they talking about?
Seeing Gildarts didn't understand, Gray and the other children explained to Gildarts.
"Uncle, Lu Li's magical talent is extremely freakish."
"Almost any magic, he can use it just by watching once. He can even create new magic on the spot..."
Gray detailed Lu Li's exaggerated performance since joining the guild.
Gildarts' jaw dropped in shock. If he didn't know these children in the guild, he would really think they were talking nonsense.
Is this kid really that freakish?
Makarov said helplessly: "Lu Li, Gildarts' magic is the Super Advanced Destruction Magic—Crash. It is a very dangerous magic. To cultivate it, besides requiring powerful Magic Power, the most important thing is control. The power of this magic is too terrifying. If not controlled well, even a moment of carelessness could cause irreversible tragic consequences."
It wasn't that Makarov was stingy. Gildarts was also a monster-level super genius, but even Gildarts, who had specialized in cultivating this magic, had difficulty controlling it all these years.
Lu Li's talent and comprehension were undeniable, but the time he had been in contact with magic was too short.
Hearing Makarov's words, Lu Li felt a bit disappointed, but what the Master said was not unreasonable.
At this time, Gildarts' voice rang out:
"It's fine!"
