Tenrou Island
Mirajane looked at the group still carefully examining the Black Dragon's remains, and at Tenrou Island, which was now only half-formed, and wondered whether she should continue the exam.
Mirajane stepped forward, bent down, and asked, "Guild Master, should the S-Class Exam continue?"
"This..." Guild Master Makarov frowned in thought.
But as soon as Natsu and the others heard it, they swarmed over.
"Guild Master, the S-Class Exam will continue, right?"
"The Grimoire Heart has been completely defeated by us. It's time to announce the S-Class Mage!"
Natsu clenched his fists and excitedly craned his neck to confirm, "Is it me?!"
Gajeel shoved Natsu aside with a thud and declared loudly, "It should be me, Guild Master! Make me an S-Class Mage!"
Elfman glared at him and yelled, "Come on, you're not even a participant this time, you should be Levy!"
"What did you say, you bastard!"
"It should be me, I should be the S-Class Mage..."
"It's me..."
"Let's have a fight. Whoever wins becomes S-Class Mage..."
"Fine, let's fight! Who's afraid of who..."
"This is how a real man wins...!"
"Bang bang!"
Before anyone could say more than a few words, before the Guild Master even had a chance to speak, the group had already started arguing and fighting.
They each began preparing to unleash their most powerful Magic.
They planned to decide the outcome with a single blow.
The Guild Master's veins bulged as he watched, and his anger burned even more intensely at the sight of the half-destroyed Tenrou Island.
It really has to be the complete destruction of Tenrou Island!
"You guys, you'd better stop now..."
"Bang~"
Guild Master Makarov's right fist immediately swelled dozens of times in size, and he slammed it down, firmly slamming Natsu and the others into the ground.
"Honestly, their mental fortitude is still far from sufficient... The S-Class Exam is temporarily canceled."
"That's all..."
Makarov crossed his arms and finally delivered his conclusion.
"This is truly a fantastic Fairy Tail!"
"The third Guild Master!"
Mavis slowly floated down behind Makarov and said with a smile.
She has come to deeply understand the genuine Bonds and mutual trust among everyone.
Makarov turned his head in confusion, tears still glistening in his eyes, and looked at the girl who had appeared before him, saying in a trembling voice:
"The First Master? You're not? Could it be that you..."
The Fairy Tail members, who had been playfully fighting just moments before, fell silent and turned to look at them with puzzled expressions.
They were even more puzzled than Guild Master Makarov.
Cana, who was hammering Zorn's chest, stopped moving, allowing Zorn to take the opportunity to pull her into his arms.
Gildarts was instantly enraged and clenched his fist, ready to strike Zorn.
Fortunately, Ur was by Gildarts's side, trying to dissuade him; otherwise, Zorn might have already flown into the sky by now.
Mavis shook her head. "No, I am merely a ghost, and as the Guild Master, you should know about my physical body..."
Upon hearing this, Makarov's expression immediately became dejected.
"However, this time I'm fully awake, and I can return to Fairy Tail with you all!"
"As long as he replenishes my Magic Power in time, that's enough!"
Mavis pointed at Zorn and said with a smile.
"That's wonderful!" Makarov cried tears of joy.
"Alright, let's go home then!"
The crowd cheered, "Oh! Great!"
New Magic Council Office
At a large round table, the Council Member, though their emotions had calmed down, still wore blank expressions.
Even now, whenever they recall the scenes they witnessed, they still feel a sense of exhilaration and shock.
"Bang bang~"
"The Dark Guilds suddenly launched a war, the Dark Magician Zeref appeared, and the Black Dragon Acnologia Zeref. Fairy Tail is involved in all of these events. What do you all think?"
The new Chairman, Gran Doma, slammed his fist on the table and asked the assembled guests with a grim expression.
Seeing no reaction from the crowd, he continued in a deep voice, "The Grimoire Heart, one of the Balam Alliance's instigators of the war, has been completely annihilated; not a single member survived!"
Because Zorn was present, when Doranbolt (the double agent) reported, he automatically ignored Ultear and Meredy, so the Magic Council directly concluded that all members of Grimoire Heart were dead.
"Zeref has disappeared without a trace!"
"The fate of the Black Dragon Acnologia is unknown!"
The crowd heard the Chairman's concluding statement.
The entire meeting became even more silent and quiet.
Frankly, what else can they think? These issues, taken individually, are beyond the capacity of even their Magic Council to resolve.
Against any one of them, their Magic Council would be destroyed.
What can they do but lie there and watch? What else can they do?
Moreover, we should be thankful that Fairy Tail stopped the Dragon of the Apocalypse - Loke, otherwise the entire continent might have been destroyed.
"This Fairy Tail is beyond our comprehension..."
"In that case, let's issue a public announcement to fully recognize Fairy Tail's achievements and honor them throughout the entire continent!"
An old man pondered for a moment before speaking.
"This..." The Chairman was also taken aback upon hearing this, and then his brows furrowed.
He suddenly thought of Fairy Tail, who destroyed a mountain or a Town with every mission they carried out...
If their actions are truly publicly commended.
If other Fairy Tail learn this behavior, their Magic Council will likely be overwhelmed with complaints and demands for compensation.
Thinking of this, the Chairman broke out in a cold sweat and quickly shook his head to dismiss the terrifying idea.
But the other Council Member exchanged glances; at that moment, they all thought of the same thing.
"Chairman, of the three major powers of the Balam Alliance, only the Tartaros, which we previously shelved, remains!"
"We can use this opportunity to draw the attention of Tartaros to Fairy Tail, so that they'll be the only ones facing Tartaros!"
"Therefore, we should be commended! A huge commendation will further highlight Fairy Tail's strength!"
The Council Member used to argue fiercely over a single issue, but now, faced with this situation, they've taken sides.
"Bang~"
"If that's the case, let's do it that way!"
Chairman Gran Doma slammed his Scepter on the ground, thus finalizing the plan for this discussion!
"Even though Fairy Tail is the most detestable character, I actually find myself hoping they'll dispel the darkness."
"Haha, looks like we really are getting old!"
Gran Dorma stood up, laughed heartily at himself, and walked out of the meeting room.
The Council Member were left only to look at each other helplessly.
A week after the meeting ended.
News of Fairy Tail's victory over the Dark Guilds, Grimoire Heart, spread throughout the Kingdom.
However, information about Black Dragon and Zeref was kept secret.
If news of these two were to spread, the entire Kingdom could be plunged into panic, bringing nothing but harm.
When the people learned that Fairy Tail had defeated Grimoire Heart and that they had played a key role in the battle against the Oración Seis,
Fairy Tail suddenly became famous.
"Fairy Tail, that's really impressive..."
"Exactly, exactly, you can't go wrong by hiring them..."
The people of the Kingdom said that Fairy Tail truly lived up to its reputation as the Kingdom's number one Fairy Tail, with all mission requests flocking to the Fairy Tail Fairy Tail.
Daily routines of other Fairy Tail
"Damn it, why are there so few missions now..."
"Fairy Tail... you just wait!"
