Chapter Summaries

Eleven and Mirajane met Jura Neekis while investigating Demon God Halphas, then joined him in searching a church and its lake. Eleven pulled a demon from the water, but its harmless, cute appearance left the three unsure whether it was truly Halphas.

• Eleven claimed he and Mirajane were investigating Halphas, and Jura introduced himself as a Lamia Scale wizard assigned to subjugate the demon.
• Eleven admitted Fairy Tail had not accepted the quest, then asked Jura to let them help and shared the clues they had gathered.
• Jura discussed the suspicious church with Eleven and Mirajane, and Mirajane suggested they search it again because demons could be hiding anywhere.
• Near the church, Mirajane sensed a demon in the lake, and Eleven used his telekinesis to churn the water and pull a huge creature out.
• Eleven, Mirajane, and Jura prepared to fight, but the blue, round creature only made foolish noises, leaving Eleven to question whether it was Halphas.

Eleven, Mira, and Jura confronted the demon god Halphas, a giant salamander that suddenly killed its priestly defender and attacked them. Jura unleashed powerful earth magic to pin Halphas down, leaving Eleven and Mira stunned by his strength.

• Makarov dragged Eleven toward the Magic Council, saying Eleven had to come get scolded with him.

Makarov took Eleven to the Magic Council to broaden his horizons, where they attended a reprimand and a banquet. At the banquet, Eleven recognized Jellal despite his claim to be Jellal’s twin brother, Siegrain, and sensed the same chaotic thoughts within him.

• Eleven pretended he had mistaken Siegrain for someone else, then secretly used telekinesis to squeeze his hand during their handshake.

• Toma ordered an S-class commission for specific mages across Fiore, insisting that the staff was too dangerous to leave its recovery to chance.

Fairy Tail welcomed several new members, while Kinana worried that Erik had grown distant and sought Cana’s advice. Kinana revealed that she and Erik lived together and had kissed, leaving the gathered girls flustered and Elfman thrown out of the guild.

Eleven received an urgent royal mission and traveled to Crocus City, where he joined S-Class mages from several guilds for a mission the king would explain. The chapter left him wondering whether the mismatched group could work together.

• Eleven questioned Makarov's choice of Cana for the S-Class examination, but Makarov explained that he had redesigned the exam to test more than combat strength.

• Ichiya of Blue Pegasus sniffed Eleven and invited him to join his guild, so Eleven moved away and wondered how the assembled mages could cooperate.

The old king hired several guilds to recover the Dragon Cry Staff from Zash Caine in the Kingdom of Stella. As the group planned their approach near Altair City, Bacchus suggested disguising Eleven as a woman to exploit Zash’s interest in beautiful women.

• The old king explained that Zash Caine had stolen Dragon Cry, fled to Stella, and risen to minister of state, and he ordered the mages to recover the staff at all costs.

Eleven and his companions tried to steal Dragon Cry from the royal treasury without alerting the Kingdom of Stella, but Aria's theft triggered an alarm and turned the plan into a chase. As the group passed the staff between them under fire, Ichiya ended up carrying it and fleeing toward the soldiers.

• Eleven, Ichiya, Bacchus, and Jura followed their revised plan to steal Zaxue's ring and send Aria to retrieve Dragon Cry.
• The citywide alarm sounded after Aria stole Dragon Cry, and the group rushed to rescue him.

• Bacchus dodged the magic beams and soldiers, then threw Dragon Cry to Jura, who protected it with his rock magic.
• Jura nearly collided with an old woman and a child, so he tossed Dragon Cry toward Ichiya, who grabbed it and used his perfume magic to flee.
