Crobu City, the location where the Fairy Tail Alliance holds its regular meetings.
Zorn and the Guild Master were also the last to arrive at the meeting place.
The reason is that the Guild Master of the association actually stayed in bed.
Zorn had originally planned to use Teleportation Magic to get there directly, but he let the Guild Master have his way.
Later, he told Zorn that there were many beautiful sights to see along the way, saying that Zorn was too impatient, and advised Zorn not to miss the scenery.
Upon hearing these words, Zorn, who was still urging him on, suddenly froze. He examined himself and realized that he had indeed been a bit impatient since arriving in the Fairy Tail world. Then, with a mix of emotion and complex feelings, he looked at the Guild Master who was still talking to himself.
When he saw the Guild Master clamoring for beer from the hotel receptionist so early in the morning, Zorn quickly shook his head, thinking he must be overthinking it.
Just as the Guild Master was about to take his first sip, he snatched the glass from him, settled the bill, and pulled the Guild Master into the car.
The car sped along the way, and we arrived at the meeting venue just in time for the meeting to start.
As soon as the two stepped into the gathering place, the scrutinizing gazes of the Fairy Tail Guild Master all passed over Makarov and looked at Zorn, who was following behind.
They stared at Zorn as if he were some rare treasure, their intense gazes making Zorn feel somewhat uncomfortable. Makarov, on the other hand, walked ahead with the pride of someone who owned some precious gem.
"Oh my god, so this is Zorn, the youngest person to ever receive the title of one of the Ten Wizard Saints! He really looks handsome! Makarov, you're so lucky!"
A chubby man wearing a pink sundress, with a shaved head and feminine makeup, placed his hands on his cheeks and ran over to Makarov with shy little steps, teasing him.
This person is Bob, the Guild Master of the Blue Pegasus Fairy Tail.
"Haha, that's right. I was there during the assessment. Zorn fought fiercely, and in the end, he even defeated the examiner with a single strike..."
Upon hearing the praise for Zorn, the Guild Master became even happier and jumped onto the table, launching into a long speech.
"Makarov, are you still happy about this? Many members of the Magic Council are still wary of Fairy Tail's current Fairy Tail. Be careful of those with ulterior motives."
Goldmine, the Guild Master of the Quatro Cerberus Fairy Tail, who wore a magician's hat and a spiked collar around his neck, also kindly advised Makarov to be careful.
"Oh, did you hear some rumors?" The Guild Master suddenly stopped talking and looked at Goldmine with a serious expression.
Zorn stared at Goldmine with a serious expression.
In their hearts, anyone who wanted to harm Fairy Tail would be completely eliminated, not even to the point of thinking about it.
Zorn was also considering the possibilities: Jellal? Bora? Or one of the enemies behind them?
"Well, I overheard some negative things about your Fairy Tail from my Fairy Tail members during a mission. I don't know the specifics, but we need to be careful."
Goldmine shrugged, indicating that he was also unaware of the specifics.
Just then, a blue bird flew over carrying a letter. "Guild Master Makarov, Zorn, Cana has written to you."
This also broke the tense atmosphere that had just been there.
"Thanks for your hard work"
"Thanks"
Guild Master Goldmine, Guild Master Bob, Zorn, and the other Guild Master all gathered around, wanting to see what they were saying.
Cana's image appeared in the letter:
"Moshi moshi, Guild Master, you must be tired from attending the meeting. I have something to tell you. Erza and Natsume have teamed up for a mission. They said it's a very important one, and I felt it was necessary to report it to you, Guild Master."
Cana said it in a playful tone.
The Guild Master was initially pleased, but when he heard that Erza and the others had teamed up to do a mission, he couldn't even imagine the chaos that would result. He rolled his eyes and froze on the spot.
Despite being the Fairy Tail's Disciplinary Committee Member, Erza presents a different face when carrying out missions, and she has her own interpretation of certain rules.
"What? How could this be..." the Guild Master murmured in a daze.
"Oh, by the way, is Zorn there? He needs to come back soon. Mirajane and Laxus wrote that they're coming back too, and it seems they have something important to say."
As if remembering something, Cana solemnly relayed the message to the others.
With a thud
The last sentence struck the Guild Master to the core, causing him to collapse at the dinner table.
"Alara, there seem to be more important things to deal with first," Guild Master Bob said, resting his cheek on his hand, also worried about his old friend Makarov.
"Master, I'll go check first."
"Yes, you're here too, Zorn. I'm so glad I brought you here. Go and see him." The Guild Master seemed to have grasped a lifeline and suddenly came back to life, looking at Zorn pitifully.
"Yes, Guild Master," Zorn said, and a golden Magic Circle appeared beneath his feet. He used his Observation Haki to sense that Erza and the others were driving Magic Power- powered car, trying their best to chase after the train.
But to his even greater surprise, he sensed a very familiar figure, chuckled inwardly, and then disappeared from the venue.
"Oh, so this is Teleportation Magic? That's a very convenient ability," Guild Master Goldmine remarked admiringly.
--Separator--
"Erza..." A young man with blue hair was staring intently at Erza as she drove away. Just as the car disappeared from sight, he was about to set off to catch up.
At that moment, a laser beam shot straight down from the sky, and a figure appeared in front of him, looking at him with a mocking expression.
"Jellal, instead of staying in the Magic Council, what brings you here?"
"Oh, I just came here to stroll around and enjoy the scenery."
Jellal responded to Zorn's question with an innocent smile.
"Well, that's certainly possible, but if it's for someone's ulterior motives, then that's none of my business."
Zorn spoke nonchalantly for the first few sentences, but as his tone shifted, his expression turned cold, and his Magic Power began to surge, creating an inexplicable aura that pressed down on Jellal.
Jellal's relaxed expression instantly turned serious as he stared intently at Zorn, but after a moment, he burst into laughter.
"Haha, Zorn, you're overthinking it. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Jellal spoke, seemingly unfazed by Zorn's imposing manner, he turned and tried to leave.
The next second, Zorn's laser pierced his chest, and his entire body became somewhat ethereal.
"Tch, as expected, it's Thought Form. Needless to say, the Magic Council still has a lot of oversights, otherwise the Cursed Flute wouldn't have been stolen."
"If anything happens to the Guild Master, you don't know if several people in your Magic Council will keep their heads."
"Lord Zorn, you are truly... impressive." Jellal slowly turned around and looked at Zorn's still-smoking fingers, praising Zorn with a double entendre, though it was unclear which aspect of Zorn he was praising.
"Who knows? Well, see you next time, Zorn." Jellal said politely before his body vanished.
Zorn pondered for a while, carefully sensing his surroundings with his Observation Haki. After finding nothing unusual, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
