The Secret Only the Guild Master Knew (Third Update)

"Laxus! Laxus!"

When Ravem saw Laxus lying motionless on the ground, his body covered in burns and unconscious, they immediately rushed over with a frantic shout.

Makarov and the other Fairy Tail mages also ran up with worried expressions.

Laxus was, after all, his grandson. Even though Makarov was angry at his grandson's immaturity and foolishness, he still loved him deeply.

The other Fairy Tail Archmage also considered Laxus and the Ravem as comrades. Giving them a lesson was nothing, since they fought each other in the guild every day, but they didn't really intend to kill him.

"Don't worry, I'll treat him."

George landed from the air, much to everyone's relief.

They knew that George possessed the lost healing True Magic, so Laxus shouldn't have been so badly injured that he died.

George reached out his cat paw and pressed it against Laxus's forehead, preparing to cast a healing spell, but suddenly noticed something. His eyes darted around, and he deliberately feigned surprise.

"Oh no, I think I used too much force just now. His internal organs are burned, I'm afraid..."

"What!"

Upon hearing George's words, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Makarov's eyes reddened, and he hugged Laxus's head, tears streaming down his face.

"Laxus, hang in there, Grandpa won't let you die. Grandpa will take you to Grandma Porlyusica, she can definitely save you!"

"It's all Grandpa's fault. Grandpa shouldn't have kept it from you. I should have told you the truth about your father sooner. It's all Grandpa's fault."

The eyes of Fairy Tail mages instantly turned red.

At that moment, George's wand suddenly lit up with blue light, and Laxus's burns healed at a visible speed.

"I was just kidding, his injuries aren't that serious."

It turned out that when he placed his cat paw on Laxus's forehead, he found that Laxus's mind was clear. The reason he didn't open his eyes was probably because he had been defeated by George, and his long-held beliefs had collapsed, leaving him unable to face the situation.

That's why he pulled this stunt, to show Laxus how Makarov and everyone else felt about him.

"Grandpa, I was wrong!"

At this moment, Laxus also opened his eyes, which were red and filled with tears.

You brat!

Makarov looked at the awakened Laxus, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

Mirajane flew into the air again, holding a True Magic microphone, and announced:

"The Champion of this tournament, and the next president of Fairy Tail, is none other than George the cat!"

The residents of the town on the shore immediately erupted in the most heart-wrenching cheers.

The match just now was truly spectacular, especially the overwhelming fire True Magic at the end, which made them realize the power of Fairy Tail mages.

Many local children, as well as those brought by their parents from out of town to watch the performance, planted a seed of dream at that moment: to become a mage and join a powerful Mage Guild like Fairy Tail.

With Reparo hand, George restored the island, which had begun to Diffindo due to the battle, to normal.

With the Champion decided, the next step is the competition for the runner-up and third place.

However, to George's surprise, according to the competition rules, the mage who won the runner-up position was actually Lucy.

Because Erza was severely injured and unconscious after exhausting her magic in the battle with Laxus, she was unable to continue competing for second and third place, so Lucy directly advanced to the top three.

After Laxus and George finished their battle, he was too exhausted to continue fighting Lucy, and he didn't want to fight his comrades anymore.

Lucy advanced to the runner-up position without a fight.

Therefore, the Champion of this competition is George, the runner-up is Lucy, and the third place is Laxus.

"Could this guy be the real protagonist of this world?"

Back at the guild, George couldn't help but stroke his beard as he watched Lucy bouncing around after receiving the top prize of 200,000.

He knew that every world would have a protagonist, and that protagonists were usually very lucky.

He previously thought it might be one of Natsu, Gray, Erza, or Laxus, but now he thinks Lucy is more likely.

"There are two things I want to announce to everyone."

After finishing his conversation with Laxus, Makarov came downstairs and announced to the crowd in the hall:

"First, George is preparing to take on the Hundred Year Quest. After the mission is completed, he will return and take over as chairman, and I can retire."

"The Hundred Year Quest, is it the Hundred Year Quest that Gildarts accepted three years ago and no one has ever completed before?"

Upon hearing that George had accepted the Hundred Year Quest, the mages began to discuss it amongst themselves.

However, they weren't too worried about George, since George had overwhelmingly defeated Laxus in the previous match without even using the Giant Magic that had defeated Freed.

Although no one has completed the Hundred Year Quest, they have faith in George.

"Secondly, because Laxus intended to use the Thunder God's Palace to attack the town and his guildmates, I expelled him from the guild in the name of the guild leader!"

Makarov continued, his eyes filled with a hint of melancholy.

Laxus, standing next to him, lowered his head, clearly having accepted the decision.

"What, President, isn't that unnecessary?"

"Laxus was just joking with us."

"Expelling a guild is too severe."

Everyone pleaded for Laxus, but Makarov had clearly already made up his mind.

At this point, George spoke up.

"Well then, since the president has already made a decision, we will abide by it."

No problem, I'll be the guild leader when I return from the Hundred Year Quest.

My first decision as guild leader was to re-approve Laxus's membership in the guild.

Laxus definitely possesses the power of the Ten Wizard Saints. A mage of that level wouldn't allow the guild master to truly expel the guild.

"When you become the president, you'll naturally have the final say."

Makarov looked at George, his tone a mixture of helplessness and emotion.

He naturally didn't want to expel Laxus, but it was a decision he had to make as the chairman, while George cleverly found a way to satisfy both sides.

Laxus suddenly looked up at George and muttered something under his breath:

"Thanks."

Seeing this, everyone returned to a cheerful atmosphere.

"Get ready for tonight's Magic Parade, George, come with me to the basement."

Makarov waved and led George toward the basement.

"Since you will be the future president, it's time to let you know some secrets that only the president knows."

"The three Super Magic of the Goblin must be preserved here."

When George saw Makarov leading him to the sealed door in the basement, he immediately understood.

He had long felt that the powerful seal must contain some of the guild's most powerful True Magic.
