Chapter 25: Civil War?
The harvest festival is simply a festival for people to celebrate a good harvest.
Fairy Tail, as a very people-friendly sorcerer guild, actively participates in it every year. Today, it has become one of the characteristic activities of the union itself.
Before this year's harvest festival, Demon Tail has a very important interview. Makarov was particularly concerned about this - their union did not have a good reputation in the kingdom. Mainly because they are too freewheeling. Although he is not a bad guy and has a high degree of mission completion, he really can't like the destruction of his surroundings.
But this interview is a great time to turn this around!
Makarov's magazine is one of the best-selling magazines in the kingdom! If they could have given a more positive description of the union in their reports, it would have done a much better job than if he had restrained his own bear children.
And then messed up......
The reporter who came was a guy who was very fond of fairy tails. He understands Fairy Tail very well, and on this basis, he expresses his affirmation of them in his own way - as it is truthful.
Well, in the end, it ended with Makarov's tears in his eyes.
The next day, the union members went about their work as usual again, making trouble.
Most people laughed it off when they saw it, except for ......
"Those guys, they actually made the union like this!"
Laxus, the bear kid who was taunted by a passer-by, A's spicy chicken wizard, while working outside. Although he easily killed the other party in seconds, this feeling of "any cat or dog can mock our guild" made him almost crazy.
"Old man, I'm going to take the union!"
Laxus made a decision silently, he had no patience to wait for the old man to retire normally. Of course, he wasn't arrogant enough to think that he could stand up to the entire union alone, after all, his grandfather was a dignified ten. There is also that Uncle Luo Xiu who he doesn't understand, but seems to be very powerful.
"Let's wait until they get back. Huh, it's almost time for the harvest festival...... Well, let's make a break that day. ”
Time flew by, and the harvest arrived.
During the day, the union holds an internal program only with the "Miss Leprechaun" beauty contest in which Makarov pays out of his own pocket. (This colored old man)
Almost all the women in the union who have confidence in themselves have signed up for the competition. The 500,000 J of the winning prize is a lot of money, and a girl like Kana, who has been drinking for many years, is here for money. Of course, there are also people like Elusa who just want to compete with other girls.
Just when the girls appeared one by one to show their charm, one person ...... Oh no, it should be said that it was a group of people, messing in.
The curtain is broken, and the girls backstage have been petrified at some point. A golden bolt of lightning fell, and Laxus appeared with his die-hard subordinates (the Thors)!
"Yo, scumbags of the union, is the boring festival making you so happy?
Makarov's face changed, Laxus was brought up by him, even if he cared a little less about his grandson in recent years, he could still see the evil anger on this bear child's face at the moment. With the last shred of hope in his arms, Makarov said: "Laxus, what are you doing stupidly? Restore them to their original state at once! We still have a dream parade to do!"
"The Dream Parade is at night, right, no problem, you can definitely catch it. It's just that I don't know how many people can stand at that time~ Na, what do you think? Uncle Luo Xiu!"
was named, and Luo Xiu couldn't watch the excitement quietly. He scratched his head and stood up: "Uncle thinks, it's not easy for your grandfather to raise you so big." You're so old, don't you want to learn from those Secondary 2 kids to play this kind of boring and dangerous game, right? Listen to your grandfather, restore people to their original state, and watch the festival with everyone?"
After hearing this, Laxus's whole face was distorted: "Oh roar, middle school second child?!Then let me see, what are you capable of as an adult!"
With a roar, he turned into a bolt of lightning and flashed towards Luo Xiu.
"It's another temptation. ”
Seeing the strength of Laxus's attack at a glance, Luo Xiu flashed sideways, grabbed his neck casually and spun around, throwing it out like a javelin: "Give me a shot out." ”
"Laxus!"
Several people from the Thunder God Crowd were taken aback when they saw their boss being thrown out so casually, and they didn't forget to care about it.
"Ah~ It's so troublesome, I don't really want to move. Natsu, can Laxus be handed over to you?"
Luo Xiu didn't chase him out, but turned to Natsu and said.
"Of course! I've been waiting for this for a long time!"
Natsu laughed maniacally and ran out.
During the Tower of Paradise, after fighting the three people of the turtledove, Natsu realized that he still had a lot of shortcomings, so he had been working hard before the harvest festival. Today is the time for him to validate the results of his recent practice!
After Natsu left, the atmosphere at the scene was a little strange. A group of people stared at the three of Thor, and Makarov was worried about the petrified girls, and he didn't want to do anything. After all, the three young men of the Thor are also good children of the union.
The Thunder God people were a little nervous to be stared at by so many people, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
In the end, Luo Xiu was a little annoyed: "Do you plan to stalemate like this until Natsu and Laxus are decided? ”
He pulled out a button and pressed it decisively.
An astonishing scene happened! Several metal pillars suddenly appeared under the feet of the three of Thor, and a lid fell from the ceiling, locking the three of them!
"What are you doing in a daze? Go on, girls, move in. ”
The green-haired Filid is worthy of being the No. 1 brain-dead fan of Laxus, and even in such a desperate situation, he still did not give up. He drew the thin sword at his waist and swung it in the air with great speed: "How can you succeed?
In less than 0.5 seconds, the rapier weaves a spell in the air, producing a slash that seems to cut the space in two!
However, this seemingly terrible blow did not have the desired effect, or rather, it was completely useless. Not to mention that the cage has been cut off, there is not even a slight deformation (no fog).
"How is that possible?!" Fillid was visibly shaken: "Why is it invalid!"
Luo Xiu looked at him expressionlessly: "Hah, little Felid, who do you think the uncle is? With the little bit of word magic you master, even if you are given three years, you may not be able to leave a trace on this cage." Let's take a closer look. ”
"......" Filid, who retorted wordlessly, forced himself to calm down and observe the cage carefully.
"No, it's not just a technique...... There are also magic words and never-before-seen patterns...... Runes?hiss! What's the deal with this exaggerated amount?!"
"Yes, yes, I found out so quickly. ”
Luo Xiu applauded a few symbolically, a little proud: "The union you see now, but I was commissioned by the first president many years ago to design and manufacture it myself." From the collection of materials to the final completion, it took me two years. ”
Fillid sat down resignedly, he already knew that he would never be able to open this cage in a short time: "What does that have to do with this cage?"
"Stupid. The cage itself was designed by me, one of the union's defense organs. Let me tell you, when the ghosts attacked, if it wasn't for the uncle's absence, as long as the union's defense mechanism was activated, they could be overturned in every second......"
