Thinking this, Gar walked out of the Council.
Not long after.
A Magic Council airship landed, and the Magician piloting it, Lucas, stepped out:
"Hello, Magician Gar."
"Are you planning to head straight to Magnolia Town, or would you prefer to go somewhere else first and then make your own way back?"
Gar replied:
"Let's go to a large city with convenient transportation."
Lucas was slightly surprised, then nodded:
"No problem."
"But I thought you would just keep doing Calm Mind and head straight back to Magnolia Town."
Clearly, Gar's Calm Mind sessions during this period had already spread throughout the Council.
Gar smiled and said:
"Traveling is also part of cultivation."
In reality, the main reason was that Gar could already sense that some Gastly he had placed as surveillance on Black Magic Cult members in the Fiore Kingdom had been continuously transferring.
They had arrived on the Ishgar Continent, although they were somewhat scattered.
But Gar still planned to go take a look.
To see if he had caught any big fish from the Black Magic Cult.
Hearing Gar's words, Lucas nodded in agreement, then led Gar onto the airship, introducing as they went:
"For convenient transportation, the nearby city of Mildian is the best."
"Transportation there connects to all areas, and there are also trains heading towards the Fiore Kingdom."
"We'll head north shortly and will also pass by the Magic Council Headquarters Academy."
"Those kids haven't been scolded lightly recently because of your legend."
Gar became interested:
"Oh?"
"Then I'd like to go see the Academy."
Setting up an image of a genius, hardworking, and diligent person as their role model, making them squeeze their rest time and constantly strive towards this template.
It must be very interesting.

Fiore Kingdom.
Magnolia Town.
After more than a month of reconstruction, the Guild had already been completely repaired.
Compared to the already large Guild before, the rebuilt Guild shamelessly expanded its area even further.
Hmm.
Don't ask, just say there was an issue with the blueprints Gar designed.
They didn't want to build it like this either.
Inside the Guild.
The newly built bar was full of modern flair.
The original wooden bar had been replaced with a crystal countertop, and even the stools were, looking very luxurious, though Makarov always worried the bar would collapse when sitting on it.
However, this comfort was better than the original wooden desktop.
The servers at the bar had also changed from Cana to Lisanna and Miriana, mainly because Gildarts wouldn't allow his precious daughter to pour drinks for other men.
Makarov was drinking wine while talking on the communicator:
"Mhm, got it."
"Alright, if you have time, come over, I'll treat you to a drink."
After speaking, he hung up the communicator, a relaxed expression appearing on his face.
Lisanna rested her chin on the bar, looking at Makarov curiously:
"Guild Master, is there news about Gar?"
Makarov smiled:
"That's right."
"Under my persistent efforts, Gar is coming back soon!"
"After all, I still have some connections in the Council."
Lisanna looked admiringly:
"Eh!"
"Sugoi!"
Cana, who was casually drinking juice through a straw nearby, pouted:
"Don't be fooled, Lisanna."
"I heard from Gildarts, that guy is quite leisurely in the Council every day."
"How could there be any trouble."
Makarov almost threw out his back. Really... Cana has been led astray, dismantling my stage like this.
Lisanna looked curious:
"Is that so?"
Just then.
Ur walked over and looked at Makarov:
"Guild Master."
Makarov rubbed his waist and turned around:
"Ur, what's wrong?"
Ur's face showed some hesitation, then she spoke:
"Hmm, I don't quite know how to say it."
"For so long, I've been causing trouble for you and the Guild."
"From when things started until now, it was actually because I was involved with Grimoire Heart."
"I also want to do something for the Guild, but I didn't know how to bring it up."
"I was thinking of joining the Guild."
"Ultear also agreed, I wonder if the Guild Master can take us in."
Makarov's face broke into a smile, and he said:
"Saying that is being too formal."
"We're all family, it's fine, just stamp the Guild mark."
Saying this, Makarov took out the stamp:
"Where do you want it?"
Ur raised her right hand and said:
"Stamp it on the back of my right hand."
Soon, an ice-blue mark was stamped on the back of Ur's right hand.
Ur's face also showed a smile, then she turned and called out:
"Ultear."
"Meredy."
Ultear walked over, also raising her right hand. The little girl with pink hair beside her was Meredy, whom Gar had brought down from the Grimoire Heart ship last time.
At this moment, Meredy had a protective expression, glaring angrily at Makarov:
"Don't stamp it!"
"Grimoire Heart and Fairy Tail are enemies!"
"Ultear! You're not allowed to join them!"
A look of helplessness flashed across Ultear's face:
"Meredy, I've already left Grimoire Heart."
"And you are free too."
"Don't think of yourself as a Grimoire Heart member anymore."
Meredy was fuming, not knowing what to say, and after a long pause, she blurted out:
"But they are all bad people!"
Makarov had a helpless expression.
Is it possible...
That the guys from Grimoire Heart are the bad guys...
Ultear couldn't help but rub her forehead, her face darkened, and she squatted down, looking directly at Meredy with a stern face, pretending to be fierce:
"Good that you know!"
"Actually, I'm a bad person too."
"If you don't listen, I'll sell you to other Light Guilds."
"Letting you suffer inhuman torture!"
"And you'll never see me again!"
Meredy looked wronged, tears welling up, not daring to speak, lowering her head and clenching her fists, tears dripping onto the ground.
Seeing this, Ur'slapped' Ultear's head:
"Don't scare Meredy!"
Ultear covered her head:
"Ah, who is your daughter anyway!"
"Kishimoto!"
Ur, who was comforting Meredy, turned with a death glare:
"Hmm?"
Ultear quickly shook her head:
"No, nothing."
She stood up in front of Makarov and extended her right hand.
An ice-blue mark was also stamped on the back of Ultear's hand.
Although Ivan defected, with Ur joining.
The overall strength of the Guild didn't change much.
It could be considered good news.
Makarov rose from his chair, scanned the members in the Guild, raised his glass, and said loudly:
"To celebrate Gar's imminent return!"
"To celebrate Ur and Ultear joining Fairy Tail!"
"Let's have a feast!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cheer immediately erupted in the Guild:
"Oh—!!!"
Just then, Ultear's gritted voice sounded:
"Wait, there's one more joining."
Saying this, under everyone's gaze, Ultear grabbed Meredy by the collar, dragged her in front of Makarov, and directly reached out to take the stamp.
Ignoring the struggling Meredy, she fiercely stamped it on the back of Meredy's right hand:
"Hmph, that's better."
She released Meredy, who looked bullied.
A look of vengeful happiness appeared on her face.
Actually, for the first few days after Gar brought Meredy back, Ultear was full of joy, and even felt a little guilty towards Meredy.
But in less than three days.
She was so tormented by this brat that she felt like killing someone.
---
And at this moment.
Central Ishgar Continent.
On the Magic Council airship.
Gar also encountered a brat. The airship had just flown over the Magic Council Headquarters Academy and hadn't even had time to land.
On the academy's playground below, six starbursts lit up.
Then the six starbursts shot into the sky, spinning and rushing upwards, and accompanying the six starbursts was a child with a snotty, tearful face, crying.
Gar raised his hand, and a silver magic circle flashed in the air. The child who was sent flying was teleported onto the airship by Gar.
However, the child hadn't recovered yet, crying and shouting:
"Ah ah ah!!!"
"Damn Siegrain! You wait until I find my brother!"
"Wuwuwuwu!"
Then Gar raised his finger and pointed, streams of golden light shot from his fingertips. The six starbursts rushing up were directly erased and dissipated by Gar, who said with a smile:
"They're really energetic."
Lucas, the Magician piloting the airship, had just recovered and had a somewhat unpleasant expression:
"That was too dangerous."
"Falling from that height, they might end up crippled, how were they fighting?"
"Wasn't there a teacher watching?"
Saying this, he controlled the airship to descend.
Three chapters today, striving for four tomorrow, and five the day after tomorrow... Cough cough, striving to add one more chapter each day.
