Fairy Tail Guild Hall

"Everyone seems a little different. Even Mirajane feels different somehow!"

Lisanna, having been away for so long, felt a mix of shyness and trepidation, yet her joy was undeniable. To suddenly reappear after being presumed dead for two years would stir such feelings in anyone.

"Really?"

Ever since Lisanna's return, Mirajane had been wearing a constant smile, a genuine smile that differed from the forced smiles she had worn after Lisanna's supposed death. She seemed more radiant, more alive.

It was also because of this incident, the two strongest female mages in the guild, who were tied for the strongest, sealed their own power.

Lisanna smiled. "But Fairy Tail is still Fairy Tail, after all."

The guild was as boisterous as ever. A banquet was in full swing to celebrate Lisanna's return, with everyone singing, dancing, and reveling in the joyous occasion.

"Lisanna's back! No work today! Let's eat and drink to our hearts' content!" A few tipsy men stumbled towards Lisanna, attempting to embrace her.

"Don't you come near her with those filthy looks!" Elfman intervened, blocking their path.

Everyone in the guild was ecstatic about Lisanna's return. She had always been a kind and popular girl, beloved by all.

"What a joyous occasion!"

"It's wonderful that she's safe and sound!"

The Thunder Legion, usually a more reserved group, had also known Lisanna well.

They may have kept their distance, but they had interacted with her. She was a kind soul, and they were happy to have her back.

Now that Laxus's issue had been resolved, the Thunder Legion was gradually integrating into the guild, accepting their place as members of Fairy Tail.

"Your hairstyle looks a bit different." Lucy commented, then noticed Juvia nearby, her usual gloomy aura making her look like a ghost, which startled Lucy.

"Juvia's hairstyle has changed, too!"

Juvia was preoccupied with what Happy had told her in Edolas. In that world, Gray was the one pursuing her, and Happy had suggested that her hairstyle might be the reason.

To most of the guild, it seemed as if nothing had happened. They weren't Dragon Slayers or Celestial Spirit Mages.

But after seeing Lisanna, who had been presumed dead, return, they realized that a parallel world existed. They had almost become magical energy, disappearing forever.

Hearing about the personalities of their Edolas counterparts, they teased each other relentlessly.

...

"Our guild is still the best, isn't it?" Natsu, clearly drunk, stumbled around, knocking over tables and chairs.

"Stop fooling around, Natsu!"

"Happy, you said that in that world, Erza was a captain in the royal army. And, Natsu, you said that two Lucys took a bath together, and then they made you play spot-the-difference and started fighting, tearing at each other's towels?"

"Waaaah! Just imagining it is too much!" The men fell into a brief silence, their imaginations running wild with the image of two Lucys fighting, their towels slipping.

Lucy's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

"Don't imagine it!"

"Yeah, that's right. And the result was that Edolas Lucy won!" Natsu nodded.

"But I didn't see any difference. They seemed the same to me. But Gildarts said that Edolas Lucy had a nicer butt, tighter skin, and a better figure and presence!" Hearing this, Lucy's face turned even redder. She rushed over to Natsu and punched him in the head.

"Don't talk about that kind of stuff!"

"That's just like Lucy!"

Lisanna was telling everyone about the members of Fairy Tail in Edolas. She even imitated their personalities. Edolas Natsu was timid, Edolas Gray wore thick clothes and was always chasing Edolas Juvia, who in turn couldn't care less about him. Edolas Juvia was also close friends with Edolas Lisanna.

Droy and Jet were considered the strongest candidates in their guild, which made the Earth-land Droy and Jet too embarrassed to face anyone. Edolas Levy was the leader of the team, and she and Edolas Lucy were always fighting. Many of the stories were hilarious, as they were so different from what they knew.

"Such… a noisy guild." Panther Lily commented, observing the lively scene. He was used to the strict discipline of the Royal Army of Edolas. This kind of atmosphere was completely foreign to him.

In Edolas, he had been ostracized by his own people for being a "Fallen", but he had come to this world to see what kind of guild the prince had belonged to in this world.

Carla, beside him, said, "Most people probably have the same first impression. But it's fun, isn't it?"

Lily looked around, then asked, "Does everyone in this world have magic?"

In Edolas, only the Exceeds possessed magic.

...

"That's right." Erza, overhearing their conversation, joined them.

"Erza!" Lily was slightly surprised, as Erza was their enemy in Edolas.

"I heard a little about my counterpart in that world. Our positions may be different, but I understand why she did what she did." She had also learned about Mystogan, and how he was actually the Edolas version of Jellal.

She understood that Mystogan and the Jellal she knew were not the same person.

"And besides, the important thing isn't magic itself, but the heart of the one who wields it, right?"

"Precognition?" Lisanna and Wendy, overhearing this, were curious. They were looking at Carla, who was sitting on a table, looking smug.

"That's right. The Queen said I have the power to foresee the future. After realizing this, I've been practicing controlling my power."

"That's amazing, Carla!"

"Wow! Who am I going to marry in the future?"

"I can't see that far into the future!" Carla said, looking around.

She then pointed at Makarov, who was reading the newspaper. "In a little while, Wakaba will come over and talk to him about the young people in the guild."

...

"Hey, Makarov! It's that time of year again, isn't it? Brings back memories. We were like that when we were young, too."

Makarov nodded. "We had our share of youthful passion."

But then Wakaba's words took a turn. "The young ones these days are really something. Especially the tight little butts."

"You're talking about butts?"

"Do you prefer breasts? I have a kid now. I can't be staring at young girls' butts."

"What about legs?"

"..."

Lisanna sighed. "The conversation is so inappropriate. I thought Gildarts was the only one like that in the guild!" Lisanna commented, shaking her head at the old men's lewd talk.

"Predicting such trivial things is hardly useful. I can't control it perfectly, and sometimes I'm misled by fragmented visions, like when I thought the Dragon Slayers would destroy the world..." Carla explained.

"That's already very impressive, Carla!!"

Suddenly, Gajeel, with a vigorous expression, grabbed Panther Lily and shouted towards Natsu and Wendy, "Fire Dragon! And you, little one! Let your blue and white cats fight my Lily!"

Gajeel's involvement in the rescue mission had changed many guild members' opinions of him. While not exactly close, they now considered him a fellow guild member.

"Huh?" Natsu, always eager for a competition, responded, "Sounds good to me!"

"Natsu, don't just agree! I'm the one fighting here!" Happy protested, panicking. He knew how strong Panther Lily was, especially after witnessing his fight with Gajeel. He was just a flying cat!

"Don't worry. I'll go easy on you. My Lily is known as the strongest among Exceed!" Gajeel said, grabbing Natsu's scarf, a challenging glint in his eyes.

"Happy is the best cat there is, you jerk!" Natsu retorted, grabbing Gajeel's collar.

"Natsu... I lost instantly..." Happy muttered dejectedly.

"..."

Carla, however, smiled. "That's not very nice. How can you give up before you even start?"

Happy was touched. "Carla... you believe in me? Alright, Lily, let's do this!"

Seeing Happy's sudden change in attitude, Panther Lily sighed. "Stop it. Don't think I'm weak just because I look like this. I was a Division Commander in that world. Pointless fighting will only lead to injury, Happy."

Erza, noticing Panther Lily, commented, "You're surprisingly mature." She had approached him because she found the little black cat cute.

"Those guys are just childish... Let's get along, Happy... Carla!"

"Lily..." Happy was overjoyed.

Meanwhile, Natsu and Gajeel had already started fighting, their brawl escalating and involving others in the guildhall. It wasn't long before a full-scale melee had broken out. "It's the usual grand..."

"Come on, Natsu!"

Surprisingly, Gray, usually eager to fight Natsu, remained seated, calmly sipping his drink.

He asked Mirajane for another drink, and she asked if he was alright. He nodded.

He then looked down at his arm, at the mark left by the Devil Slayer magic, a power on par with Dragon Slayer and God Slayer magic.

He wasn't sure why he had suddenly received this power, or why it was specifically Ice Devil Slayer Magic. But after talking to Makarov and Gildarts, he understood that it posed no threat to him, and in fact, greatly enhanced his ice magic.

Makarov, watching the chaos unfold, smiled. "Fairy Tail is always at its best when it's lively like this," he thought.

"I knew about Mystogan's identity, but I had no idea he was a prince from another world. But it doesn't matter what his identity is. He made his decision, and we can only wish him well. I hope he's doing well in his homeland. It's a bit sad, but I hope he's happy."

Gildarts chuckled. "He grew up in this guild. He'll be fine. So, are you going to stay in the guild for a while, Gildarts?"

"You're a celebrity now, one of the few to complete a Hundred-Year Quest. The Magic Council even offered you a position as a Wizard Saint, but you turned them down. I thought we might have two Wizard Saints in our guild."

"Everyone knows it wasn't me who did that. And after witnessing that intense battle between Monsters, do you think I care about being a Wizard Saint? Besides, you know I value my freedom. But you're right, our guild can be said to have two Wizard Saints."

"Jellal, you mean?" Makarov looked towards Erza and said slowly, "If not for that Oración Seis, he might have joined us."

"Then I'll stay for now. It's a good opportunity to see how much the young ones have grown. Gramps, everyone's gathered here. Why not take this opportunity to announce the participants for this year's S-Class Advancement Exam? Otherwise, I can't guarantee I won't run off somewhere, and then you'll complain that I'm not helping you."

A board covered with a cloth was pushed to the front of the Fairy Tail request board.

Makarov cleared his throat. "Ahem... Everyone, quiet down!"

"Although we've welcomed Lisanna back, life must go on. We mustn't dwell too long in sadness or joy. Our guildmates are our family. We've always done it this way. One must not fixate on what they have lost, but on what remains that they must protect!"

"..." Natsu was confused. While the old man's words were touching, he couldn't quite grasp the meaning. He blurted out, "Gramps, do you have something to announce? Hurry up! After we celebrate Lisanna's return, I want to challenge Gildarts! Everyone's here, aren't they?"

He was immediately silenced by Erza, who punched him on the head, creating a large bump.

"Be quiet and listen to the Master!"

Makarov was exasperated. Natsu was a lovable goof, but his emotional intelligence was severely lacking. He hoped he would find happiness someday. Thankfully, his guildmates were like family.

"According to Fairy Tail's long-standing tradition, I will now announce the participants for this year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial..."
