Fairy Tail: Encountering Auguste at the Beginning

Chapter 68



The two of them were busy, and the two of them were busy.

Makarov sat upright on the chair, raised his head, stared at Leila sitting opposite him, and asked, "How is the situation?"

"Well, he is indeed looking for something related to the guild, and he has been looking in many places during this period." Leila said calmly.

Some time ago, after Ivan returned to the guild, he was absent-minded all day, and then began to wander around the guild intentionally or unintentionally.

One night, when Makarov was resting in the guild, he found a strange figure looking around in the guild.

At night, the spell barrier set by Leila will automatically open, and it will be generated by absorbing the energy of the magic crystal. In theory, no one else can enter the guild unless they are members of the guild.

Makarov followed him with doubts, and then followed the figure to the library of the guild.

The man cast a lighting magic and kept looking for magic books on the bookshelf. Makarov saw his face clearly, but was surprised to find that it was a face he was very familiar with - Ivan.

When Ivan came back, Makarov asked him what happened, because he saw that Ivan looked a little absent-minded, but Ivan didn't say anything, just stared at him and left without saying a word.

Now that he found Ivan's abnormality, Makarov calmed down, did not directly warn him, and did not confront him. After all, he knew that Ivan would never explain to him, and his attitude that day explained everything.

After that, he found Leila and asked Leila to follow Ivan. Leila agreed, and then he had been secretly observing Ivan during this period.

Ivan first turned the guild upside down, and found nothing and searched around in some suspicious places in Magnolia.

This state lasted until a few days ago, when he went to Harugeon to rent a boat and sailed towards the direction of Tianlang Island, with Leila following him all the way.

On Tianlang Island, he searched everywhere but found no clues, and then returned to the guild.

"Leila, do you know what he is looking for?" Makarov looked serious, staring at Leila.

"I heard it at the time, it seemed to be called Luminous Starlight." Seeing this, Leila did not hide it. He did hear Ivan mention this name in his heart.

"What?!" Makarov was shocked and clenched his fists involuntarily.

Leila remained silent and waited quietly for Makarov's decision.

"How is it possible? How did he know?" Makarov could no longer sit still. He paced around the room like an ant on a hot pot, muttering in his mouth.

"Leila, you must never tell anyone about this matter and that name!" Makarov looked at Leila seriously.

"Yeah."

"Where's Ivan?"

"He's in the guild now."

"Go and call him for me." Makarov said anxiously.

Ivan walked into the president's room, and no sound came out. Not long after, only Makarov came out, and Ivan disappeared. Then, Makarov announced in the guild that Ivan was expelled from the guild.

After that, there was a quarrel in the president's room. Laxus couldn't understand the decision of his grandfather Makarov. As soon as he heard the news, he found Makarov.

"Grandpa, why did you expel Dad from the guild?" Laxus asked loudly with a hint of confusion in his voice.

Makarov lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Laxus seriously and said, "Ivan will cause harm to the guild."

"He does always do stupid things, but even so, he is your son, your family." Laxus was excited and couldn't help saying.

"Even if he is a family member, if he threatens the life of his guildmate, he cannot stay in this guild. The previous generation of presidents also protected the guild in this way. This is Fairy Tail."

Makarov's forehead was slightly wrinkled, his expression was solemn, and his tone was unwavering. Laxus looked at him without saying anything, and slammed the door and left.

"Old man, why don't you tell him clearly, won't he misunderstand you?" Leila came out from the other side of the door. He heard the quarrel between the two outside. Laxus saw him and left without greeting.

"Alas, it's better for him not to know about that thing." Makarov sighed heavily, and then said: "Leila, can you help me take care of him."

"Okay."

Laxus left the guild and stood by the river in the East Forest, looking at the river, wondering what he was thinking.

He sat there without listening to music. Not long after, Leila came over from a distance.

"Want to fight?" Leila asked softly behind him.

"Come on!" Laxus turned around and stared at Leila, and answered without hesitation.

The two figures kept shuttling in the forest. The increasingly fierce battle caused damage to the surrounding environment, and Laxus's boredom gradually vented.

After the battle, the two sat by the stream. Leila handed Laxus a fishing rod, and Laxus happily took it, just like in the past when Gildarts took them fishing.

"Fishing is the most intimate moment of nature, and your body and mind will calm down."

After that, although Gildarts went out to work, the two would still fish here and enjoy the quiet moments.

"Actually, I know about your father's affairs. The old man asked me to investigate." Leila glanced at Laxus and said.

"Well, then?" Laxus looked at the calm water and his mood slowly calmed down.

"Your father got the information from somewhere and learned about something in the guild, and that thing is extremely dangerous. Judging from the old man's attitude, it should be something that only the president can know."

"The old man saw that your father was obsessed with it and just wanted to get it. He didn't consider the consequences at all. The old man persuaded him to give up, but he didn't listen. For the safety of other people in the guild, the two parted unhappily."

"So, what I want to say is that the old man didn't want things to develop to this point, but he was powerless. He is not only your grandfather, but also the president of the guild, and the old man we respect."

Laxus hummed, and then fell into a long silence. In fact, after calming down, he had figured it out, but...

Seeing this, Leila didn't say anything, giving Laxus time to think. Suddenly, the fishing rod in Laxus's hand moved, and then Laxus swung it hard and pulled the fish out of the water directly.

"No matter where I went or what I did before, other people would say that I was Makarov's grandson, and I couldn't get a fair evaluation at all." Laxus began to reel in his rod and said.

Seeing that it was just a small fish, Laxus took it and released it, and then continued: "Today he also expelled my father from the guild, and I was a little angry."

"Laxus, how can anyone in this world get a fair evaluation, but I am sure that you will be able to surpass the old man in the future."

Lila's voice was like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze in Laxus's heart.

"Yeah." Laxus turned his head to look at Leila, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"I'm glad you can figure it out." Leila saw that Laxus's expression was no longer stiff, and she was relieved.

"I've never been confused, okay." Laxus's tone unconsciously became heavier, as if he was defending himself.

"Okay, okay." Leila waved her hand casually, with a perfunctory expression on her face.

"Let's fight again!" Laxus stared at Leila with his eyes fixed on her attitude.

"No, I won't accompany you anymore. I want to go back and rest." Leila was frightened by Laxus's eyes and quickly refused.
