By the time Noah returned to Fairytail, it was almost noon.

After four or five days, the fairytail has not yet been rebuilt, and the place where it should have been the fairytail's guild building has been enclosed, but at this time, except for the outer part of the wall, the interior is still empty, and even the ground has not been paved, and it is still a piece of loess.

In such a place, temporary workplaces similar to bars have been set up.

Of course, it's a workplace, but it's just a simple bar and a delegation bar for guild members to take on tasks.

In addition to the simple bar and the delegate bar, temporary rough tables and chairs were neatly arranged on the loess floor, and the members of the guild were sitting there one by one, passing the time.

After all, for some time, Noah had carved all the runes used to build the defense system into the building materials, and then he only needed to entrust the workers to build them, and there was no need for even the guild members to be in coolies.

Fortunately, the sun is not too big today, otherwise, the unsheltered exposure to the sun would definitely make the wizards of Fairytail all half dead.

However, as long as you are a wizard of Fairytail, you won't have any complaints about that.

After all, for everyone. The existence of the guild is important, and people who already have a great sense of belonging to the guild will be satisfied as long as they can stay in the fairytail.

Except for a very few people.

Noah, who was about to enter the interior, paused when a voice paused his steps.

"What are you doing? This shabby place? ”

This one was an extremely rough and nasty voice.

I saw that Laxus, who was wearing a fur-collared coat as always, stood on the loess and looked around. Undisguised mockery.

"I really can't stand it, being made like this by a little ghost ruler (Lord), is this still the world's invincible fairy tail (fairytail)?"

Hearing Laxus's extremely malicious words, all the members of the guild lowered their heads, looking like they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

So, no one noticed at all. With a mocking look on his face, Laxus looked at the guild with nothing but loess and a simple bar and a delegate bar, his eyes trembling slightly and a flash of anger.

"It's really useless, there are so many of you, you can't keep a guild, and it's really because there are too many weak people and garbage in the guild. If I were the leader of this guild, I would definitely kick out all those guys who could only eat, and there would be no one left! ”

Hearing this, Elusa couldn't help but stand up and look at Laxus with an awe-inspiring face.

"What do you mean, Laxus?"

"Don't you understand? Then let me tell you clearly! I don't know what it was to be angry, but it was extremely rare for Laxus to spit out his twisted thoughts in front of the whole guild.

"It's because there are too many weak people gathered in this guild. will let others find fault with peace of mind, and if you remove all the garbage here, you can create a strongest guild. So how could that kind of Xiaoxiao have the idea of hitting fairytail? ”

"Do you know what you're talking about? Laxus! Lisanna, who was at the bar with Mira, couldn't help but speak.

"Even the ghost lords who used to be known as the First Guild have so many magicians, and there are already few people in our guild, and one can beat ten of them!"

"That's why that guild was disbanded, wasn't it?" Laxus said with a scoff.

"It's because there's so much garbage in it, so much so that even the weak people here can fight ten at a time, and that kind of guild will come to an end now. Doesn't this make you understand that the strong man is the one who dominates a qiē?! ”

"If I inherit the guild, then I will definitely get rid of all the weak people here!" Maybe the destruction of the guild really irritated Laxus. An agitated Laxus pointed at Lishana and roared without hesitation.

"That's right. It's a guy like you! ”

“――――！” Lisanna's eyes widened, her head lowered, and her expression darkened.

"Laxus!" Mira, who had been quietly listening to Laxus's words, raised her head sharply and stared at Laxus deadly, and a terrifying magic flashed on her body like a boiling.

"Oh? How long has it been since I've seen you like this? Laxus furrowed.

"I thought that two years have passed, and you will only pretend to be no different from those garbage, I didn't expect that there is still this kind of courage, or if you have this kind of Cheng Dù's ability, then I will reluctantly let you stay in the future!"

"Laxus!" Elusa glared at Laxus in a rage.

"It's too much—" Lucy and Lebby also bit their lips, trying not to show disgust.

"Damn—" Gray clenched his fists, anger in his eyes.

"You guy!" Natsu rushed directly in the direction of Laxus, a scorching flame burning in his hand, and against the sharply rising atmosphere, he threw a punch and swung fiercely in the direction of Laxus.

"I must teach you a lesson today!"

Hearing this, Laxus showed a contemptuous expression, and before Natsu's fist wrapped in flames was about to hit his body, a flash of lightning flashed all over his body, and it turned directly into a thunderbolt and disappeared in place.

"Whew!"

Natsu followed the punch, and the flaming fist swung into the air in one fell swoop, causing him to lose his balance and nearly fall to the ground.

"Whew!"

It was only then that a bolt of lightning appeared from behind Natsu, and Laxus resurfaced from it, with his back to Natsu and a mocking look on his face.

However, Laxus did not find out.

As soon as he turned into lightning and avoided Natsu's attack, a fist swung at Natsu's back like an uncertain prophet.

Laxus appeared right behind Natsu, unbiasedly in front of the fist that had come forward like an unpredictable prophet.

"Bang---!"

The next moment, a fist with a sharp wind sound landed heavily on Laxus's cheek, causing a muffled sound.

"Woo---!" Laxus, who was punched heavily in the face, spit out a muffled snort, his body was knocked away, and he hit the table and chair next to him, and in a crackling sound, the table and chair there were smashed to pieces, and he also fell into the fragments of the table and chair.

The sudden change made everyone present stunned, and when they saw the full picture of the owner of the fist, many people showed joy.

Noah, who didn't know when he appeared behind Natsu, waved his hand lightly, as if he had just slapped a fly, and turned his back.

"This punch was for Mira and Lisanna!"

As soon as the words fell, the shattered tables and chairs were blown away in a burst of electric light, revealing Laxus's form.

"Bastard—!" Laxus, whose body was covered in thunder and lightning, looked at Noah furiously, feeling the pain on his cheeks, and his expression suddenly became dangerous.

"How dare you do it to me?!"

"Didn't you say that if you have power, you can do whatever you want?" Noah glanced at Laxus.

"Unlike you who regard the weak as dung, Laxus, I think that the obligation of the so-called strong is to protect the weak, because if there is a weak person who saves it, the strong person will have the need to save it, and if you only care about strength, it is like if things are too rigid and easy to break."

"You said that if you inherited the guild, you would purge all the weak ones, right?" Noah turned and looked directly at Laxus.

"Then, I'll tell you, Laxus, if I inherit the guild, then the guild of your ideal, I will never let it become like that in my life, you better be enlightened!"

The atmosphere in the air suddenly became oppressive. (To be continued)
