"Stop it now!"
Crawford said, but his body seemed rooted to the spot, showing no intention of moving! After Crawford realized his words were useless and Medivh completely ignored him, his gaze turned to Hibern, Ulfheim, and the others, with a hint of plea in his eyes.
"Alas..."
Unfortunately, Hibern and Ulfheim seemed to ignore his plea, remaining steadily seated, deep in thought.
Hibern mused inwardly, "My apologies, Crawford! It's not that I won't act, but if I were to act now and clash with these volatile Fairy Tail members, setting aside what might happen to me, a battle between Magicians of the 'Heavenly King' level would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the entire Magic Council! The only way to resolve today's matter peacefully is to wait until Medivh has completely calmed down."
Indeed, Hibern, being the most elegant and rule-abiding among the Saint Ten Wizard, would naturally not do something he knew was wrong!
If he were to act rashly now, it would be equivalent to violating the Council's rule that the Saint Ten Wizard are not allowed to clash privately...
Hibern would not do anything that would invite criticism. This was also to pave the way for his future competition for the position of Council Chairman of the Magic Council.
Yes, once Hibern successfully ascends, he can then act decisively if he encounters a similar situation! This is because by then he would be different from now, no longer just an ordinary Saint Ten Wizard, but rather the Magic Council Chairman who also happens to be one of the Saint Ten Wizard. The positions and differences between the two are vast.
As for Ulfheim, he didn't think as much as Hibern. He simply disliked Jose Porla, and since Hibern didn't act, he also found it inconvenient to act. That was all.
"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Thus, with Hibern and Ulfheim's tacit approval and indulgence, Medivh continued to beat Jose Porla, leaving him with a bruised face, missing teeth, and covered in blood! Medivh's strength against Jose Porla was simply a one-sided slaughter; Jose couldn't even resist.
"You..."
Crawford was helpless. He again turned his pleading gaze to Warrod, Ur, and Makarov. The regrettable thing was that Makarov and the others were completely different from Hibern and his group; they didn't even bother to feign anything and directly ignored Crawford.
Nonsense, Makarov, Warrod, and Ur are all Council members of the Fairy Tail Guild, so naturally, they would side with Medivh, who is also a Fairy Tail member! Why would they pay attention to Crawford, this useless chairman who knows nothing but eating, drinking, and playing, apart from a slight understanding of some ancient texts that others don't?!
"Alright, Medivh! Stop now!"
And so, Makarov waited until Jose was truly on the verge of collapse, fearing that Medivh might beat Jose to death, which would be an embarrassment for everyone. He instantly appeared beside Medivh and decisively stopped the enraged Medivh.
"Makarov..."
On the ground, Jose Porla, whose mouth was constantly gushing fresh blood, had eyes that were subtly moist. He never expected that in the end, the one who would come to save him would be his sworn enemy and his long-time imaginary foe, the old man Makarov.
"I'll remember this."
Jose said, and then fainted.
"Medivh, how could you attack Jose without permission?"
"It's a good thing you weren't too heavy-handed, so let's just let this matter rest..."
Makarov immediately began to scold Medivh, lecturing him left and right...
However, Makarov seemed to be scolding Medivh, but no matter how one listened to his words, they were clearly protecting Medivh, elevating Medivh's actions before simply letting them go.
"Master..."
"While we were away, Jose hired members of the Dark Magic Guild to attack Magnolia Town."
Medivh looked at Makarov and recounted Jose's 'actions'.
"What?"
"Hmph!!"
"I can't believe you're such a person..."
Makarov, who had been looking serene, instantly became enraged upon hearing what Medivh said. He could tolerate anything! But he absolutely could not tolerate anyone harming his family, harming the Fairy Tail Guild...
Makarov strode over to Jose's 'body', first spitting on him, then, still not appeased, he fiercely kicked the unconscious Jose twice, finally venting his anger.
"Medivh..."
"Which Dark Guilds attacked the Fairy Tail Guild?!"
"Was anyone from the Guild or the town harmed?"
"No matter who it is, as long as they dare to harm our comrades and family in the Fairy Tail Guild, they will surely face Fairy Tail's revenge! We will settle accounts with them..."
Makarov's face was distorted, veins bulging on his forehead and neck. Terrifying magic power, like a breached flood, seemed to uncontrollably surge from his body, causing the entire 'Ten Wizard Saints' meeting room, and even the entire Magic Council, to continuously tremble.
"Makarov!!"
"Don't forget your identity!"
Crawford felt the ground shake, both shocked and enraged. He looked at Makarov, reminding him to remember his identity as a Ten Wizard Saints.
"I am very clear about my identity..."
"I am the father of my children, and the Master of the Fairy Tail Guild."
Makarov's stance was firm on this. He was first and foremost the head of the Fairy Tail family, and only after that was he the Saint Ten Wizard, whatever that might be.
"You..."
Crawford's face twisted, dark emotions continuously brewing within him...
At this moment, he even wanted to completely remove Makarov from the 'Saint Ten Wizard'.
"Boom!!"
Before Crawford could think further...
Several terrifying surges of magic power erupted within the 'Ten Wizard Saints' meeting room!
Warrod, Ur, and Gildarts all had grim expressions.
"I think the problem you should be considering right now is not whether we, Fairy Tail, are obedient or willing to give you face! Rather, it's whether anyone in our Fairy Tail Guild has been injured."
"Everyone here should be clear that within the entire Fiore Kingdom, the people who know that the main force of Fairy Tail has currently left the Guild are all within this small meeting room right now..."
"Our main force of Fairy Tail had just left, and those clowns came to attack our Guild. No matter how you look at it, it's a bit unreasonable! Even if you say it's a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence."
"Just now, I heard Medivh say that Jose Porla was behind this, but was Jose truly the only one involved in the entire incident?!"
"Or is there some unspeakable secret specifically aimed at us, Fairy Tail? In my opinion, each of you has a strong suspicion."
Gildarts suddenly interjected, his words powerful and resonant, like an ancient bell, vibrating ceaselessly in everyone's ears.
"So, what exactly do you, Fairy Tail, mean?"
Crawford felt a bit guilty from Gildarts' words. He glared angrily at Gildarts and roared.
"My meaning is simple..."
"If no one in our Guild was harmed today, then Fairy Tail will give you all face and not pursue this matter further."
"But if someone in our Guild was harmed because of this..."
"Then I think there's no need for us to continue talking here!"
As Gildarts spoke, he slammed his palm onto the table in front of him, making a 'bang' sound, and at the same time, activated his proudest, highest-level destructive magic, Crush.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the table immediately turned into countless dust particles under Gildarts' magic, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Using the highest-level Super Magic as basic magic?!"
"This guy is a bit exaggerated, isn't he?"
This scene caused Hibern and Ulfheim to look sideways in astonishment, shocked by Gildarts' exaggerated and somewhat abnormal strength.
Aside from Gildarts, they had never seen anyone use Super Magic as their basic magic. These Super Magic spells were always hidden away and used as trump cards!
Using it as basic magic? Are they tired of having too much magic power?!
To this, Gildarts replied, "Everyone, I'm truly sorry! My magic power is simply so abundant that I can never run out of it. That's why I chose Crush to use as my basic magic."
Comparing oneself to others can truly be infuriating.
"Everyone, I don't want to reach the point where we have to cross swords."
Gildarts said, seemingly ready for battle.
"Uh..."
For a moment, in the meeting room, Crawford, as the Chairman, and Hibern and Ulfheim, the first and second seats of the 'Ten Wizard Saints', all three were stunned, seemingly completely unprepared for Fairy Tail Guild's incredibly firm and stubborn attitude.
"Medivh, is the Guild alright?!"
At this moment, Makarov looked at Medivh and asked.
"Uh, of course, it's fine."
"After all, don't forget, my wife Irene is still guarding our home."
Medivh smiled calmly and replied.
Indeed, the strongest existence in their Fairy Tail Guild didn't come to this 'Ten Wizard Saints' gathering at all; she was guarding their home in Magnolia Town!
With Irene's strength, unless 'Black Dragon King' Akunorologia personally arrived, no one who came to Magnolia Town would be effective!
Especially Irene, who was in the Fairy Tail Guild in Magnolia Town, also had the Fairy Tail BUFF, making her practically invincible.
"Oh right, Irene is still in town."
Makarov breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Honestly, he had completely forgotten about Irene.
With Irene there, instead of worrying about whether the members of the Dark Magic Guild would harm their Fairy Tail Guild members...
It would be better to worry if Irene would get too carried away and blow up the entire Magnolia Town, or even the Fiore Kingdom, into the sky?!
"Speaking of which, what are those mischievous brats in the Guild doing right now?"
Then, Makarov seemed to think of something and asked Medivh.
"They're proactively attacking, of course!"
Medivh answered decisively.
"It's over."
Makarov rolled his eyes upon hearing this.
The entire Fairy Tail Guild proactively attacking means that Fiore Kingdom's number one demolition squad is in position, ready to demolish wherever they go!
"My money! My money!!"
Makarov began to cry as he spoke, howling towards the sky.
"Uh..."
Crawford and the others watched Makarov, who had been so domineering a second ago, ready to fight all forces in Ishgar for Fairy Tail, now kneeling on the ground with lifeless eyes, howling and crying towards the sky. They didn't know what to say.
Is this Makarov perhaps seriously ill?!
By the way, do they really need to deal with this Fairy Tail Guild, which seems to be full of seriously ill people?! Perhaps it's better to just let them be!
Meanwhile, in Magnolia Town.
"Damn it! Are these Dark Magicians insane?"
"They actually dare to provoke those lunatics from the Fairy Tail Guild!"
"Run! Hide! The Magicians of Fairy Tail are about to come out and tear down the streets..."
Yes, from the very beginning, when these residents of Magnolia Town saw the members of the Dark Magic Guild invading the town, the reason they ran was not because they were afraid of these Dark Guild Magicians, but because they were afraid that these idiots had provoked Fairy Tail, causing those monsters to be unleashed.
"Hahaha..."
"Look, we haven't even entered the town, and these people are already scared witless..."
"Our prestige is truly impressive!"
Outside the town, Dark Guild Magicians gathered one after another, quietly waiting for the vanguard to send a signal, then they would rush into Fairy Tail and leave no one standing!
"Boom!!"
Just as everyone was waiting, the vast Magnolia Town suddenly emitted a series of roars. To minimize the damage to the town, the mayor decisively activated the Gildarts Mode.
"This is?!"
When Gildarts Mode finished transforming.
After a road directly leading to Fairy Tail appeared in front of these Dark Guild Magicians, before they could even move, they suddenly saw countless Fairy Tail Guild Magicians rushing out of the Guild and charging towards them.
