"Hahaha, Guild Master, you didn't expect this, did you?"
"The Guild Master of Night Walk, along with every member inside, was taken down by Laxus and Erza!"
"Though there were still a few small fry left at the end, they couldn't stir up any trouble. The rest of us took them out. The only regret is that the Guild Master of Night Walk, that murderer Kafche, took the chance to escape..."
At the same time, Macao, covered head to toe in bandages, came over to Makarov. Hunched over, he threw an arm around Makarov's shoulders and laughed.
"All the Mages in Night Walk were defeated by just Laxus and Erza? I remember that brat from Night Walk wasn't weak. He might have been depraved, but his strength was barely worth mentioning! I never expected Laxus and Erza to have grown to this extent. Perhaps this year's S-Class Trial will be quite lively~"
A hint of delight appeared on Makarov's face. He had originally thought this year's S-Class Trial would probably be Ywen's personal show, but now it seemed there was plenty of room to maneuver! If they could find a way to eliminate Ywen, they could properly blunt the edge of that genius brat.
A person's growth shouldn't be too smooth. In Makarov's eyes, having everything go one's way was not a good thing...
"Guild Master, you're overestimating the enemy! Erza is Ywen's little sister, and Laxus is your own grandson. Shouldn't they be at this level?!"
Macao said with a laugh, tugging at Makarov.
"That's true." Makarov nodded lightly, then looked the mummy beside him up and down. "Come to think of it, who are you?! Are we acquainted?! Are you a Mage from Fairy Tail too? Why don't I remember ever seeing you..."
"Guild Master!! I'm Macao! Macao!"
