Exiling Ivan (3)

After the Fairy Tail chat group was established, Sordil, as the group owner, immediately posted the first group message.

"Listen up, everyone. I am now transmitting my Mind Talk directly into your minds. If any of you know the answer to my question, just silently recite it in your hearts."

Before the group owner could send any further messages, active group members started flooding the chat with messages, disrupting the group owner and administrators' plans.

What is Mind Talk?

"Oh dear, you're so stupid you might as well die! You don't even know Mind Talk!"

"Hmph! You talk as if you know everything!"

"How could I not know!"

"Then tell me, what does 'Mind Talk' mean?"

"Alright! Today I'll broaden your horizons! The so-called Mind Talk is a kind of mental magic that allows you to send what you want to say into the mind of a designated person through magic."

"Wow! Is it really that amazing?"

"Of course!"

"Does that mean... once you learn this magic, you can talk to anyone?"

"That's true in theory, but not in practice, because this magic is affected by many factors, such as the caster's strength, the environment in which it is cast, and the number of people using it."

"Hey! So who's using Mind Talk right now?"

"Idiot! The first voice that came out was Sordil's, so he must be the one who cast the spell."

"No way? Sordil actually knows this move?"

"Hehe! My All-Rounder King can do anything!"

"When did the All-Rounder King become yours?"

"That's right! He clearly belongs to my family!"

"Hey! Stop talking nonsense, or my idol will get angry!"

"Macao, we're talking, what are you doing barging in like this!"

"That's right! That's right!"

Hearing the chaotic chatter in the group, Makarov, with Red Well above his head and an angry backdrop, roared furiously, "Shut up, all of you!"

As the large window shook, the group chat instantly fell silent.

"Everyone listen carefully to my question. Those who know the answer, speak up; those who don't, remain silent. Do you understand?" (Makarov)

After the administrator finished speaking, all the group members posted their own "understanding" emojis.

After dealing with these troublemakers, the group owner and administrators began questioning them.

"Who withdrew the commission to search for annihilation magic this morning? (Sordil)"

"Kuli! It was the Request Letter that Kuli took!" (Macao)

"Does Ivan know that Kuli removed the power of Request Letter? (Makarov)"

"I know! Before Kuli took the Request Letter, he bumped into Ivan, and they discussed it during that time. (Leena)"

"That's right!" (Everyone)

"When did Kuli leave? How did he plan to get to Philiers? (Old Suo)"

"Kuli left the guild twenty minutes ago, and according to him, he appeared to be preparing to take the train to Philiers." (Churchill)

"He should be on the train by now, on his way to Philiers." (Pukins)

"Did Ivan take any means of transportation with him when he left? (Makarov)"

"When Ivan left, it seems he borrowed the Magic Four-Wheeled Vehicle from Versailles. (Wakaba)"

"Wakaba is right, that's exactly how it is! (Versailles)"

"Did any of you see which direction Ivan went?" (Sordil)

"It looks like the East! (Rexar)"

"That's right, it's the East! (Bohr)"

Once the message was confirmed, the group owner and administrators left a message saying "looked carefully," and then ended the group chat.

After leaving the group chat, the group owner and administrators remained silent for a long time. Finally, the young group owner couldn't contain himself and broke the silence by speaking first.

"President..."

"Those are just speculations; none of us know the truth!" (Makarov)

"You're right, so what should we do next?"

"I'll stay here and lead the search for Ivan. You go find Kuli and confirm the truth!"

Upon hearing Makarov's arrangement, Sordil evasively said, "Chairman, why don't you go find Kuli, and I'll stay here to command everyone?" (Why was Old Suo unwilling to go? Because Troia was no longer effective against him!)

Looking at the hesitant Old Suo, Makarov, with the giant's head on his head, roared, "Do you think this is buying something? You can't haggle over the price? Get out of here!"

The moment the president finished speaking, Old Suo rode the Giant's Fist Propeller, passed through the roof, and flew eastward.

"Waaah~~"

Hearing the horn sounding not far ahead, Ivan increased the amount of magic he was channeling, while constantly urging himself on.

However, besides the car's speed, other things were also echoing in his mind.

"What exactly is Lumen Starshine? Why does Dad get so nervous when he hears this name?"

"Who is this Sordil? Why does he know secrets that only the guild master can possess? And how does he know the method to cure Laxus?"

"What does it mean that activating Lumen Starlight will bring boundless darkness?"

"Why would Dad take him to the place where Lumen Starlight is stored? Could it be that he's planning to..."

"Damn it!"

Feeling annoyed, he subconsciously increased the amount of magic power he was inputting, and the speed of the Magic Four-Wheeled Vehicle increased significantly again.

Because Ivan took a shortcut through the mountains, it took him half an hour to finally catch up with and overtake the train below.

"Paper Magic: Eerie Echo"

"Call out"

The moment Ivan finished speaking, a dark purple ball of light flew out from between his palms and crashed onto the opposite rock wall.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, a huge gap appeared in the opposite rock wall, and at the same time, countless shattered rocks crashed down onto the railway tracks below.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Within seconds, dozens of giant rocks crashed to the ground, not only breaking the railway tracks but also completely blocking the exit of the canyon below.

"Hmph! It's time to go get what you need!"

After speaking, Ivan's figure disappeared above the mountain peak.

Although the mountain collapse was caused by humans, its scale was no less impressive than a natural collapse, easily attracting the attention of the train driver and conductor.

"The noise ahead sounds like a landslide. Reduce speed immediately to avoid an accident!" (Train Commander)

"Understood!" (Driver)

As the train rounded the bend, the road conditions ahead became immediately clear.

"It really is a landslide! Stop the train immediately!" (Train driver)

"Yes, (driver)!"

Thanks to the skillful handling by the conductor and driver, the train came to a smooth stop on the damaged tracks, causing no harm or loss to the passengers. Of course, this also allowed someone without a ticket to quietly slip onto the train.

After moving the paper doll next to his ear, Ivan exclaimed in realization, "Oh, so he's in carriage Number Four!"

He put away the paper figure in his hand, then disappeared on the roof of the car with a sly smile.

"Kuli!"

Hearing the call from behind, Kuli, who was peeking out to see what was happening ahead, quickly turned around to look behind him.

"Ivan? What are you doing here?"

"That's not important. I came here today to discuss something with you. (Ivan)"

"What is it, (Kuli)?"

"Can you sell me the Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal you have?"

"This..."

Seeing Kuli's hesitation, Ivan made his bottom line clear.

"Kuli, as long as you sell me the Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal, you can name your price!"

Upon hearing these tempting terms, Kuli for a long time, but in the end shook his head at Ivan.

"Ivan, although your offer is very good, sending this Magic Crystal to Philiers was a decision we made after discussing it, so I cannot agree to it."

After Kuli finished speaking, Ivan nodded and said, "Alright! In that case, I won't force you!"

After saying this, Ivan turned and left.

Seeing this, Kuli shook his head helplessly and then focused his attention back on the road ahead. Therefore, he didn't notice that the moment he turned his head, Ivan stopped and assumed his most powerful attack stance.

"Um?"

As he sensed the magical fluctuations behind him and prepared to turn around to check, Ivan had already unleashed his ultimate attack.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

Caught completely off guard, Kuli was sent flying toward the front of the carriage with a scream.

"Bang!"

After crashing into the hard carriage wall, Kuli finally came to a stop. He then slid to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ivan, you..."

"Hmph! Blame yourself for not knowing what's good for you!"

After saying that, Ivan snatched Curry's package and began to search through it carefully.

A moment later, Ivan smiled at the rhombus-shaped crystal in his hand, and then he strolled over to Kuli.

"Although I feel bad about doing this, I apologize in order to avoid revealing my identity!"

With that, Ivan swung his right hand, which was holding the dark purple energy ball, toward Kuli's head.

Just as the two were about to collide, Ivan suddenly turned into a wooden figure, unable to move at all.

"Call out"

The next second, a silver-haired boy descended between them with a whooshing sound.

"Kuli, are you alright?"

Upon hearing the third person's voice, Kuli quickly opened his eyes.

"Sordil, is that you? (Kuli)"

"Hehe! That's me!"

"You... cough cough... how could you... cough cough (Kuli)"

"Kuli, don't move. Let me heal your injuries first, and then I'll explain everything to you."

Upon hearing Old Suo's words, Kuli nodded and then obediently sat down in place.

"Cure!"

As the turquoise energy entered his body, Kuli's wounds healed at a visible speed, and at the same time, his complexion gradually became rosy.

A short while later, the man who had been on the verge of death became lively and energetic again.

"Sordil, what exactly is going on?"

Faced with Kuli's persistent questioning, Old Suo considered for a moment before recounting the events of the censored version.

"Oh! So that's how it is!" (Kuli)

"That Ivan guy, he could have just told me the truth directly, instead of resorting to robbery!" (Kuli)

Hearing Kuli's words, Old Suo shook his head and sighed, "Alas! How clumsy!"

"So what should we do now? (Kuli)"

"What else can we do? Of course, we'll take you both back and let the chairman decide how to punish this idiot!"

"That's the only way!" (Kuli)

The moment Kuli finished speaking, Silver-White Light shone, and then the three of them vanished from their spot.
