Natsu was stopped as soon as he rushed out.
"You're not allowed on the second floor until you become an S-Class Mage!"
Makarov's arm immediately grew larger and slammed onto Natsu, stopping him from running upstairs.
"Idiot, talk to me when you become an S-Class Mage," Laxus scoffed.
Natsu struggled to his feet from under Makarov's fist.
He bared his teeth and pointed at Laxus on the second floor, yelling, "Come down and fight me, Laxus!"
Laxus said disdainfully, "Come up if you dare."
Natsu was immediately dejected.
If only he could go up there; if the Master wasn't watching him so closely, he would have run to the second floor to play a long time ago.
Seeing Natsu fall silent, Laxus chuckled, then looked at Aux and reminded him, "If you've thought it through, have the Thunder God Tribe contact me. Don't miss this opportunity!"
With that, his body transformed into a yellow lightning bolt and disappeared directly from the second floor with a crackle.
This was the application of Lightning Magic!
Meanwhile, the guild members here didn't know what had happened and all turned their attention to Aux.
"Is Aux not asleep?"
Mirajane snapped back to reality. If Laxus and Aux had communicated, then it could only have been while everyone else was asleep.
Doesn't that mean Aux wasn't put to sleep by Mystogan just now?
"Huh? Why wasn't Aux asleep? Is there a trick? I want to see what Mystogan looks like with my own eyes," Natsu asked eagerly.
Gray was also very excited!
Not falling asleep, this ability is truly enviable. How great would it be if he could learn it?
He wouldn't have to inexplicably collapse every time.
Elfman asked curiously, "You saw Mystogan, right? What does he look like?"
Looking at their curious gazes.
Aux pondered for two seconds, then frowned and said, "If your magic power is strong enough, you won't be put to sleep. As for Mystogan... he's a very beautiful girl~"
What?
A very beautiful girl?
Everyone in the guild was stunned, their brains trying to match this mysterious guildmate with the image of a girl.
But they couldn't do it.
In their perception, Mystogan was definitely male!
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Everyone in the guild knows Mystogan is a male," Macao retorted.
Wakaba also affirmed, "Right! The name Mystogan is a boy's name!"
All the other members thought the same.
Makarov, however, glanced sideways at Aux, wanting to see how he would explain.
"You've all been deceived."
Aux sighed deeply, looking at the guild members with incredibly sincere eyes:
"You haven't even seen Mystogan, so how do you know he's definitely a man? I saw him with my own eyes; his figure, curvaceous and incredibly beautiful!"
Everyone was speechless.
Should they believe this or not?
Come to think of it, they really hadn't seen Mystogan. Is it possible he's actually a female?
Macao was unconvinced and challenged, "More seductive than Erza, Cana, Levy, Mirajane, and Lucky?"
Wakaba corrected him, "Levy is cute, don't put her in the seductive category!"
Levy immediately rolled her eyes.
I'm small, I'm sorry for not being sexy enough for you guys... Aux nodded and then shook his head, "Mystogan has a kind of beauty that's hard to describe. You can't truly appreciate it without seeing it with your own eyes. You'll understand when you meet him!"
Now the guild members were stumped.
They scratched their heads, unable to imagine that Mystogan of the guild was a girl!
"How is that possible? Mystogan is clearly male!"
"I actually kind of believe Aux. If Mystogan really is male, why does he always wait for us to fall asleep before he comes?"
"Didn't they say Mystogan is a bit shy? Only girls would be shy, right?"
"So, Mystogan really is a girl?"
"I just want to know how beautiful Mystogan is to be described like that by Aux."
"I can't imagine at all..."
"..."
Seeing that Aux wasn't explaining clearly, they could only huddle in twos and threes, whispering and using their imaginations.
After fooling the guild members.
Aux turned with a smirk, continuing to savor his delicious coffee.
Makarov grumbled, "If Mystogan knew you were talking about him like this behind his back, he'd definitely come looking for an explanation."
No problem!
Aux wasn't afraid of anything!
Even if he did come looking for him, so what? He could use Enchantment Magic to turn Mystogan into a female.
Then, a female Mystogan would stand before the guild members.
No amount of explanation would be useful then.
"That Laxus fellow has an extreme personality and believes that force can solve everything. You'd best not have too deep a contact with him."
Makarov warned him again.
He, as a grandfather, knew his grandson's personality all too well.
It was completely different from the Fairy Tail Guild's educational philosophy!
Even now, he didn't understand why Laxus had become like this.
"So he acknowledges my strength?" Aux asked in return.
Joining the Thunder God Tribe... Aux really almost agreed. Just the guild's internal conflict had moved him.
But he thought about it and decided against it.
Fighting Natsu, Gray, and the others didn't feel as satisfying as fighting Laxus.
"You could say that..."
Makarov had to admit.
Aux's current strength should not be underestimated. If he went all out, it's possible no one could stop him!
Of course, this was just a possibility; it was hard to say for sure what would happen.
"Is Mystogan an S-Class Mage?" Aux asked.
It seemed to have been mentioned in the original story, but he had forgotten which year it was.
"No..."
Makarov's answer surprised him.
Mystogan wasn't an S-Class Mage in X782?
That shouldn't be right!
So, Mystogan became an S-Class Mage next year, then?
It shouldn't be that late.
"Mystogan should be on the exam list this year," Mirajane said at this point.
Aux looked at Makarov, who neither approved nor denied it.
This meant it was very likely!
"How much longer until this year's promotion exam?" Aux asked.
This time Makarov answered, "Two months!"
I see!
Aux suddenly understood. If that was the case, then Mystogan should become an S-Class Mage this year.
Then his competitor might be Cana.
After all, Cana hadn't passed the exam for several years, and this year she shouldn't be a match for Mystogan either.
What a pity!
This year's promotion exam probably didn't require finding a partner, otherwise, someone would definitely remember what Mystogan looked like.
Aux also thought that he had joined the guild too recently.
There was a ninety-nine percent chance he wouldn't be selected for this year's S-Class Mage promotion exam list.
If only he could be!
With his abilities, he could easily win S-Class, and then he could go to the second floor to take on the Galuna Island request.
Get the Celestial Spirit Key in advance...
