Chapter 276 The Fairy Tail Civil War Begins (Update 1)
At night, on the high slope outside Magnolia City.
Laxus, the Thunder Dragon Slayer Mage, wearing a black coat, looked at the new Fairy Tail Guild, which could be regarded as a landmark building in the distance, and showed a rampant smile on his face.
"The Thunder Gods are finally back, and this moment has finally come. The fairies are going to kill each other, and old man, your era is over. Next, I will lead the guild to the strongest!"
"Thunder Gods, come!"
Two men and one woman walked out of the darkness and stood behind Laxus.
Laxus instructed one of the green-haired male wizards:
"Fried, when setting up the spell barrier tomorrow, add a rule to prohibit cats from leaving the guild."
"Prohibit cats, harpies?"
Fried was stunned when he heard this. In his impression, the only cat in the guild was the harpy raised by Natsu, but the harpy had no fighting power, so it was meaningless to prohibit the harpy from leaving the guild.
You should know that when setting up a spell barrier, the fewer conditions, the greater the power, and the more conditions, the smaller the power.
The original plan had only two conditions, prohibiting people over 80 years old and stone statues from leaving, in order to prevent the strongest president from participating in the battle, and to make those stone statues hostages.
Now prohibiting cats from leaving has three conditions.
"No, Harpy, in the past few months when you were carrying out the task of destroying the Dark Guild, a new cat came to the guild. The cat is called George. If he is not restricted, it will be more troublesome than Erza and Mistgun."
Laxus replied.
For this plan, he has been preparing for a long time and has been paying attention to the movements of the guild.
He cursed the guild wizards for being too weak, but in his heart he knew very well how powerful the guild was, so he was also very cautious.
Regarding the things that George, the new cat, did and the strength he showed, he didn't say that he knew everything, but he also knew a lot.
In his judgment, George was a very powerful S-class wizard, and he had many means, so he must be restricted in advance.
"It's the wizard who can perform repair magic. It's actually a cat, and it's so powerful!"
Fried and the other two showed surprised expressions on their faces at the same time.
When they were on missions outside, they also heard that the guild had a "repair wizard" who often handled the aftermath for the wizards of the guild.
It's just not clear whether it's a cat, or a cat that Laxus would pay attention to.
You know, looking at the entire guild, except for the president, Gildarts who was on a hundred-year mission, and Mistgang, who could catch Laxus's eye.
Eluza was just a little trouble in Laxus's eyes.
The next morning, George flapped his wings and walked on the way back to the guild with the things he bought for the magic parade in the evening.
Now the whole town is full of colorful balloons and ribbons, and every household is decorating their houses and nearby streets for the harvest festival.
The citizens all have happy smiles on their faces, and children are also playing on the streets pretending to be wizards of the Fairy Tail Guild.
For the people in this town, the Harvest Festival may be equivalent to festivals such as Christmas and the Spring Festival.
At the same time, he also saw people constantly walking out of the train station and merging into the flow of people in the town.
Some of them were residents of the town returning for the Harvest Festival, just like migrant workers returning home for the Spring Festival.
Another part was citizens from other towns who came to play.
Fairy Tail's annual magical parade is a very famous event throughout the continent.
"President, Mirajane, have you bought everything?"
Walking around a corner, he saw Mirajane and Makarov, who were also responsible for purchasing, waiting for him at the intersection.
The three of them checked the things to make sure nothing was missed, and walked and talked together back to the guild.
"The atmosphere of the Harvest Festival is everywhere!"
Makarov looked at the happy citizens around him, and his old face was full of a gratified smile.
Mirajane also smiled and said:
"Yes, everyone in the guild is preparing magic performances for the magic parade tonight."
"That's right, this is the grand parade of our Fairy Tail that is proud of the whole continent.
George, when the time comes, you can use the thunder giant that Erza mentioned to lead the way in front and let everyone open their eyes!"
Makarov raised his head proudly.
The magic used in the magic parade does not need to be very powerful, but it must be gorgeous. George's thunder giant looks very gorgeous.
"It would be great if Laxus could participate. His lightning magic will definitely work better when combined with George."
Mirajane said with some regret.
Although Laxus refused to come back to help when the Phantom invaded last time, according to the information she later learned from Gajeel and Juvia, no branch personnel participated when the Phantom launched the final attack.
In addition to the fact that a large number of branches were destroyed by Mistgang, some were also destroyed by Laxus and the Thunder Gods.
So that guy is hypocritical. He doesn't care on the surface, but he still cares in his heart.
In George's words, Laxus is a bit rebellious and arrogant.
Makarov's expression changed immediately when he heard Laxus' name:
"Hmph, don't mention that rebellious grandson to me."
"President, I think you should tell him some things openly, otherwise the misunderstanding will get bigger and bigger, and there will always be problems."
George advised him when he saw this.
He often asks Makarov for advice on magic and listens to Makarov's stories about the past.
He knows that Laxus once particularly admired his grandfather Makarov, until Makarov drove his father, his son Ivan, out of the guild, and then he had a rift with Makarov.
Makarov was worried that telling Ivan the truth about betraying the guild would leave a shadow in the heart of the young Laxus, so he concealed it.
So Laxus never knew that his father had a connection with the dark wizard and betrayed the guild, nor did he know his father's ambition.
He just thought that his father wanted to change the guild, and his ideas conflicted with his grandfather's ideas, so his grandfather was driven away because he was unwilling to give up his position.
In fact, from Laxus's perspective, it can also be understood.
His mother died early, and his father was so good to him since he was a child, and he also tried his best to find the dragon crystal for him, but he was driven away by his grandfather with that reason. How could he think clearly in his heart?
That's why he kept saying that he wanted Makarov to give up his position to him as the president.
After this period of contact, and the judgment obtained by occasional use of psychic abilities, he felt that Laxus was full of affection for his grandfather Makarov and the guild.
He was just too arrogant and awkward.
If Makarov could open his heart and talk to Laxus and explain everything clearly, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Well, forget it. Even if I tell him now, he may not believe it."
Makarov sighed.
