The next morning, Fairy Tail Fairy Tail
"Damn it, put me down right now! Don't let me catch you, Fire Dragon Natsu!"
Gajeel was hanging from the Fairy Tail hall, screaming as Natsu stood by, swinging his Light Chains back and forth, punishing the culprit who wanted to destroy the Fairy Tail.
The reason Natsu knew this was because Gajeel had a large white piece of paper stuck to his body that read, "He's the murderer, hit him!"
When the Fairy Tail members entered the Fairy Tail early in the morning, they found that the walls and floors of the Fairy Tail had been peeled off, especially the floor, which was shattered into pieces.
Then they saw a figure hanging from the Fairy Tail's ceiling, fast asleep.
Natsu entered, his anger only intensifying. If he didn't attack Gajeel, who else would he target?
Lucy, Erza, Gray, and the others were also watching Natsu's antics from below, but they didn't stop him because they all recognized the Phantom Lord Fairy Tail's insignia.
"Natsu, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Let's wait for Zorn to arrive and then discuss what's going on."
Levy looked at Gajeel, who was hanging in the air, and for some reason, she felt a pang of sympathy and whispered something to him.
"Huh?" Natsu and Gajeel, who were still locked in a fierce battle in mid-air, stopped and looked down at Levy, who had suddenly spoken.
Good morning, Levy!
Good morning, Natsu.
After greeting Gajeel, Natsu jumped off him, then turned and said Gajeel, "I'll let you off this time! But there won't be a next time, remember that!"
"Cut!"
"Hah~ Good morning everyone, where's the Guild Master?" Zorn and Cana walked in from outside the Fairy Tail, yawning. They had stayed up quite late last night because of Gajeel.
"The Guild Master hasn't arrived yet, Zorn. Who's this?" Erza poked Gajeel's leg and asked.
"This guy tried to destroy our Fairy Tail by himself yesterday, but I caught him and he was hung up. Ah, it's delicious." Zorn said as he walked to the bar, poured two glasses of milk, handed one to Cana, and chug down the other himself.
Zorn then displayed a crystal ball in front of everyone, recording everything that happened last night. This was why Zorn was so relaxed; with this thing in place, even if the Magic Council members came, the Phantom Lord Fairy Tail wouldn't care.
"Oh, so you have a plan, Zorn?" The Guild Master's voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Good morning, Master.
Good morning, Guild Master.
The Fairy Tail members greeted each other, and the Guild Master responded to each one.
Then, with a leap, he landed precisely on the bar, but under Erza's threatening gaze, he changed his hand from the beer to the milk and started drinking it in reverse order.
"The plan is to give them a taste of their own medicine. Right, Mr. Gajeel?" Zorn said calmly. The moment the water glass was placed on the table, Gajeel and Zorn, who had been hanging in the air, disappeared from the Fairy Tail.
"I really want to go too!" Natsu suddenly started shouting, unwilling to give up. He also really wanted to cause a ruckus at the Phantom Lord Fairy Tail.
--Separator--
This is the scene at the Phantom Lord Fairy Tail.
The Fairy Tail members were still chatting and joking, noisily proclaiming that Gajeel would surely win a great victory and bring back good news.
A golden Magic Circle suddenly appeared, and Zorn's figure emerged, accompanied by Gajeel was now bound like a dumpling.
"Damn it, who are you? How dare you barge into the Fairy Tail without saying hello! You're asking for death!" One of the drunkards, still extremely arrogant, swaggered towards Zorn with a menacing look on his face.
Before it could even get close to Zorn, it was inexplicably sent flying backward, crashing into the wall with a loud bang and remaining motionless.
The others were also startled by what they saw, some even sobered up instantly, all looking at Zorn with the same expression of surprise and uncertainty.
"Hey, what strong wind blew you here, Zorn?"
Jose suddenly spoke up from the second floor, and this voice instantly restored the confidence of the other Fairy Tail members. They glared fiercely at Zorn, as if Zorn were the culprit.
"I'm warning you now, Jose, this is your last chance. During the assessment, you haven't learned your lesson, nor do you seem to have grasped the gap in our strength."
"Bang~" Zorn's Magic Power surged, and Light Sword appeared in his hand. With a vertical slash, a crescent-shaped strike was unleashed, splitting Zorn in two before Jose could react. Jose's body flashed along with the crack and slowly disappeared from the spot.
The walls of the Phantom Lord Fairy Tail were also cleaved in two by Zorn, but fortunately, their unique structure prevented them from collapsing.
"You'd better watch yourselves. Next time, it won't be so simple."
Zorn's cold gaze swept over the group, intimidating all the Fairy Tail members so much that they dared not meet his eyes.
After Zorn left, the Phantom Lord Fairy Tail remained unusually quiet, as if they hadn't recovered.
"Damn it, Zorn, you just wait! I'll fight Fairy Tail to the death!"
In a secluded place, Jose himself was furious. It was at this moment that he truly made up his mind to no longer abide by the rules between regular Fairy Tail and formally declare war on the Fairy Tail Fairy Tail. He refused to believe that with his current strength, he couldn't defeat Zorn.
Meanwhile, after returning to the Fairy Tail Fairy Tail, Zorn instructed the Fairy Tail members not to act alone, and to gather together to rest for the next few nights. He was certain that after this incident, the Phantom Lord Fairy Tail would be unable to resist, and it would be very dangerous for the Fairy Tail members to act alone at that time.
Levy's Road Engine Squad was also invited by Zorn to stay at his house, and Cana was very happy and cooked a table full of dishes to welcome them.
"Levy, let's take a bath. We'll sleep together tonight. I told you, I just found an ancient Magic book yesterday. Could you take a look at it for me later? I was going to bring it to you today, but Zorn got in the way. Luckily you came tonight..."
"Oh, really? That's great!"
Cana pulled Levy towards the bathroom. Zorn turned around and saw that Droy and Salusuk were staring at Levy with infatuated expressions. Helpless, he gave each of them Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) to bring them back to normal.
Erza, Natsu, Gray, Happy, and the others stayed at Lucy's house. Of course, when they got together, they had a lot of fun and playful fights, but it was tough on Lucy.
At this time Mirajane, Elfman, and their two younger sisters, Lisanna, were having a meal together with several Fairy Tail members. However, Lisanna seemed a little listless, as she was worried about Gajeel and Juvia in this world.
When she returned home tonight, she learned that Gajeel and Juvia in this world were actually their enemies, which she found hard to accept.
"Knock knock knock, I'm coming in, Lisanna." Mirajane knocked on the door but there was no response, so she opened the door and saw Lisanna looking a little lost in thought.
"What's wrong, Lisanna? Are you worried about the Phantom Lord Fairy Tail?" Mirajane asked with concern, sitting on the bed.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you. I'll never let anyone hurt you."
"Yes, yes, I believe in you, sister. I will protect you too. I'm already very strong." Lisanna looked at her gentle and caring sister, seemingly having made up her mind.
