"I'm signing up!"
Marcao immediately raised his hand to support Rabbit Maru.
Other members who used fire magic also eagerly signed up, which relieved Rabbit Maru. He had initially worried that as a newcomer opening a magic academy, he would be criticized.
But as it turns out, that kind of thing doesn't happen in "Fairy Tail". He has shown his strength in front of everyone, and everyone recognizes his strength. They don't think he's unqualified to open a school just because he's a newcomer.
Thank you for your support.
Rabbit Maru was quite moved and bowed to everyone. This kind of guild atmosphere was something he couldn't feel in Phantom Lord.
"You're willing to teach us magic; we should be thanking you!"
Marcao shouted with a smile, and the guild members also shouted their support for Usagi-maru.
"Alright, now that I've introduced our new companions, it's time to talk about another important matter."
After seeing that both Rabbit Maru and Gajeel had finished their self-introductions, Makarov took over, his expression becoming serious.
"The Magic Council told me that in the past two months, Fairy Tail has caused more damage than the Dark Guild. Can you tell me why?"
Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Makarov slowly began to speak.
As soon as the old man spoke, many of the guild members below immediately felt guilty, shrinking back and not daring to look at him. These were the people whose names were on the "evidence."
"Ahem, old man, I admit my mistake. Last time I accidentally lost control and burned down a few houses. I'll definitely learn magic from Rabbit Maru to improve my control over fire!"
The first to step forward was Uncle Macao, who awkwardly revealed that he was the one who had burned down several streets.
To make up for what happened, Marcao has been running around doing missions lately. He's also filled with regret. If he hadn't burned the money, how much alcohol could he have drunk with that money?!
"You know it's wrong to do that!"
After hearing what Macao said, Makarov pointed at him and gave him a good scolding, leaving Uncle Macao with no choice but to keep his head down and smile apologetically.
"You bunch of bastards, all you do is make me get yelled at by the council!"
Makarov blew his beard and glared, which made everyone smirk.
"However, I'm not saying all this to make you change anything."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Makarov, who had originally intended to give them a good scolding, softened his heart and changed the words he was about to say.
"Fairy Tail mages do not live for the opinions and evaluations of others; we move forward on the right path that we firmly believe in."
Undefined, unconstrained, following their own hearts and souls—that's what makes us Fairy Tail mages!
"Let the Magic Council members go eat shit!"
As he spoke, Makarov himself became quite animated, revealing that this was indeed his true feeling. He raised his right hand, made a fist, and extended his thumb and forefinger towards the sky.
"Oh oh oh oh oh!"
The group, who had expected to be scolded, were taken aback for a moment, but then excitedly shouted and made the same gesture as Makarov.
This gesture has only become popular in guilds in recent years, gradually gaining popularity and becoming a symbolic gesture of the guild.
The meaning behind this gesture is probably to express the trust between everyone and the unity of the guild.
This gesture was first used by Makarov, Laxus, and the Moen family, carrying a strong sense of family bond from the beginning. It's perfectly natural for the entire guild to use it together, as Fairy Tail is indeed a big family.
Seeing this scene, Moen couldn't help but facepalm in exasperation. Wasn't the initial message of this conference to encourage everyone to avoid causing trouble? How did the final summary turn into telling the Magic Council to eat shit?
Expecting Grandpa Makarov to correct everyone's behavior is truly a pipe dream; the old man himself is not a rule-abiding person.
Compared to reprimanding everyone, the old man was clearly happier to boast about his two grandsons' achievements. When the topic came up, he immediately began to tell the story vividly and engagingly, which naturally excited everyone.
"Mount and Laxus teamed up to defeat Joseph Porra head-on? That Joseph Porra? The old man didn't even lift a finger?! Amazing! The Spectre is completely powerless now!"
Everyone talked excitedly, each one feeling proud.
Although the victory was achieved by Moen and Laxus, it was Spectre who suffered the loss, while Fairy Tail gained fame. Naturally, everyone was very happy, and praise for Moen and Laxus rang out continuously.
Laxus listened from the side, the corners of his mouth unable to stop him from turning up, but he was trying hard to suppress it, so his expression looked a little strained.
As for Moen, his mind had already been drawn to the system, and a mission popped up, which was about Gajeel.
[Ding! Mission triggered!]
Quest Name: "The Tyrannical Iron Dragon"
Task details:
"Iron Dragon" Gajeel is one of the important members of the guild. Because he grew up in the "Phantom Lord" guild and lived there for many years, his personality was affected and became extremely violent and cruel. We correct his personality and help him integrate into the guild.
Task progress:
Correcting Gajeel's personality and helping him integrate into the guild (incomplete)
Quest Reward: Random Bronze Armor.
Moen glanced at the mission details, then at Gajeel. His expression was strange. If he remembered correctly, Gajeel had said he had only been with the Phantom Lord for a little over a year.
'So he was supposed to stay with the Phantom Lords for a long time?'
Moen wasn't surprised by this. If Fairy Tail hadn't intervened, Gajeel would have continued to grow up in Phantom Lord, and it wouldn't be surprising if his personality had become the way it was in that environment.
This task seems quite simple.
Moen looked at Gajeel. The current Gajeel's personality was far less exaggerated than described in the mission content. Apart from being a little irritable, he was far from being bad.
"Gajeel, come here."
Moen called out to Gajeel, who had been staying by Usagi's side, since Usagi was the only familiar person he knew here.
"."
When his name was called, Gajeel looked at Moen and couldn't help but swallow. By this time, Tutu was already surrounded by people who wanted to sign up for the class, so he couldn't ask Tutu for help. He could only slowly move towards Moen.
"What are you dawdling for? Come here, let me introduce you to the other people in the guild who are your age. You'll be roommates from now on."
Moen beckoned to Gajeru, urging him on.
Gajeel, naturally, dared not dawdle any longer and quickly came to Moen's side.
Several boys were standing next to Moen at this moment: Natsu, Gray, Elfman, Jet, and Troy.
The girls also gathered around, looking at Gajeel with curiosity. Although Gajeel had challenged the guild before, he hadn't left behind any impressive scenes.
First, he fought Natsu to a standstill, and then he was instantly killed by Moen in one move. That's basically everyone's impression of him.
Let's introduce ourselves.
By pulling Gajeel into the group of children, Moen began to force them to socialize, which was quite necessary. A new child needs this process of breaking the ice with everyone.
Children make friends very quickly, especially since they don't have any conflicts or deep-seated hatreds. They can easily chat and play together.
"Hello, Gajeel, we've met before. I'm Gray, stronger than Natsu. You can challenge me after you defeat him."
At Moen's prompting, Gray stepped forward to greet his new friend, but Natsu was very unhappy with what he said.
"You damn exhibitionist! Don't talk nonsense! I'm stronger than you!"
Natsu bared his teeth and roared at Gray. He had only lost that one time, and he felt like Gray would nag him for the rest of his life!
Gray's actions made Natsu feel ashamed and motivated. He has been training hard during this time, hoping to get back at Gray. He must defeat Gray!
Of course, Gray definitely didn't want Natsu to turn things around, so he didn't slack off in his training either, and the two of them were really focused on their training.
This made things convenient for Moen, as Gray and Natsu took turns being his punching bag and sparring partners, and they even competed to be the ones to do it. If one of them got hit by Moen, the other would run over and get hit by him too.
"I will be the strongest!"
Gajeel's fighting spirit ignited as he looked at Natsu and Gray. He naturally had no confidence in challenging Moen and Laxus, but he was determined to defeat Natsu and Gray!
Just like Natsu said before, how can he be qualified to challenge Moen if he doesn't defeat Natsu and Gray first?!
"You should beat Natsu first!"
Gray mercilessly mocked Gajeel, who claimed to be the "strongest," saying that he couldn't even beat Natsu and had the nerve to say such a thing.
"Aaaaah! Let's duel, Gray!"
Natsu was breathing fire; he couldn't hold back any longer. This time, he had to avenge himself!
"You fight Gajeel first, and only the winner between the two of you can fight me."
Gray gave Natsu a look of disdain, rejected his duel request, and instead arranged a duel between Gajeel and Natsu.
"Why should I listen to you?!"
This time, not only Natsu but also Gajeel were dissatisfied. The two of them questioned Gray together, and then looked at each other.
"Why are you mimicking my speech?!"
The two men stood head to head, glaring at each other with fierce expressions.
"Stop fighting!"
This time, Wendy stepped forward to offer advice. Last time, Gajeel was an enemy, and she had to cheer for Natsu, but this time Gajeel has become an ally, so she can naturally offer her advice.
Wendy felt an even stronger sense of déjà vu. The three of them were companions, and Natsu and Gajeel were fighting, while she was anxiously trying to break it up. It just felt like something was missing.
Gajeel and Natsu, of course, wouldn't listen to Wendy. The two were about to make a move when they were met with Moen's iron fist.
"bump!!!"
Gajeel and Natsu each took a punch from Moen, crouching down with their heads in their hands, groaning in pain. Gajeel, with his stronger defense, groaned even louder, because Moen used a bit more force to avoid hurting him too little.
"Go outside and fight."
Moen spoke up, and Gajeel and Natsu, who had been hit, didn't dare to utter a sound. They immediately obeyed and ran out, pulling Gray, who had been watching them make a fool of themselves, along with them.
"What are you two doing?!"
Gray sensed something was wrong and tried to break free, but he couldn't break free from Natsu and Gajeel's hold on his own.
"Hmph hmph hmph!"
Natsu and Gajeel made strange noises without saying a word, which made Gray feel even more uneasy. He looked to Moen for help.
Moen didn't have time to deal with him for the moment, because a pop-up window appeared in the system.
[Ding! The quest "The Tyrannical Iron Dragon" has been completed!]
Quest Progress: Correct Gajeel's personality and help him integrate into the guild (Completed)
Do you want to claim the task reward?
The task I just received was completed in the blink of an eye.
'As expected, Gajeel's personality doesn't need any changes or corrections; it's completely different from what was described in the mission description.'
Moen wasn't surprised that the task was completed so quickly; the only thing the task required was to help Gajeel integrate into the guild.
It doesn't seem difficult for them to integrate now; the boys all went out to see what was going on, and they have already accepted Gajeel as their new playmate.
Claim your mission reward.
Moen decisively chose to claim the mission reward.
【Om! 】
A flash of light appeared, and a suit of armor emerged from it, shaped like a large cross, but also like a swan spreading its wings. The long vertical line of the cross was the swan's long neck, and the horizontal line was the swan's outstretched wings.
[Congratulations! The Cygnus Bronze Cloth has been unlocked!]
As the system notification sounded, the Saint Cloth truly revealed its true form. The shape of the Saint Cloth no longer resembled a large cross; instead, it was clearly shaped like a white swan.
This bronze armor belongs to Hyoga, one of the "Five Bronze Saints," and is the Cygnus Cloth, also known as the White Bird Cloth.
'Good luck.'
Looking at the Cygnus Bronze Cloth stored in the system space, Moen was in a good mood. First, he had drawn a Cloth belonging to one of the "Five Bronze Saints", and second, he had drawn one that matched his skills. This was definitely very lucky.
Actually, the Dragon Bronze Cloth can also be used, but Diamond Dust with Cygnus is better than Bare-Handed Clash with Dragon, unless you replace Bare-Handed Clash with Rising Dragon Fist.
'This is the first Saint Cloth and power I possess together; it should create a really great synergy, right?'
Thinking of this, Moen couldn't wait any longer. He immediately left the guild hall and went to the large lake behind it.
"Come forth! Cygnus Bronze Cloth!"
Without hesitation, Moen summoned the Cygnus Bronze Cloth. The white, slightly bluish-white cloth was immediately put on him, though the coverage of the Cygnus Cloth was not very high.
