Meanwhile, Makarov, sitting at the bar drinking, watched Natsu and Gray get effortlessly taken down by Noah and Erza with a single move each. He paused slightly in the act of bringing his glass to his lips, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but it quickly vanished.

"Noah! Erza!"

Having made up his mind, Makarov placed his glass on the bar next to him and waved at Noah and Erza.

"You two, come over here. I want to talk to you!"

Noah and Erza, who were about to lecture Natsu and Gray, paused in unison, looking at Makarov with puzzled expressions. They exchanged a habitual glance, both seeing the same confusion and curiosity in each other's eyes.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Noah, who had come to Makarov with Erza, tilted his head and asked first.

"Is there something we can help with?"

"No, no, it's about you two," Makarov said with a burp full of alcohol, his usual carefree demeanor belying the surprising words he was about to utter.

"I just wanted to ask you, would you like to start officially accepting requests and going out to work?"

"Work?" Noah and Erza's eyes lit up.

"Work?!" The others in the guild exclaimed, even the half-dead Natsu and Gray jumping to their feet.

Magicians, in essence, are a special group of people who can use magic power and cast spells.

Generally speaking, as long as someone can skillfully use magic, regardless of the type, they can be called a magician.

However, for magicians, they prefer those who not only know how to use magic but have also joined a guild, considering them to be proper magicians.

After all, magicians need to complete various jobs and earn rewards.

And a proper guild that can accept requests from all over the Kingdom of Fiore and offer them to the magicians within the guild is naturally indispensable, hence this unwritten rule.

So, strictly speaking, Noah, who hasn't even started learning magic yet, although he has joined the guild, cannot be considered a proper magician.

As for Erza, her magic is already quite proficient, even surpassing that of ordinary adult magicians. In addition, she possesses excellent swordsmanship and the skill to use various weapons. In some ways, she is much more mature than Noah on the path of a magician.

However, even so, Makarov had not allowed Erza to accept requests and go out to work, but rather had her refine her strength first, waiting until she had a certain level of ability and could stand on her own before acknowledging her ability to work.

Before that, the guild covered Erza's living expenses, and she would repay them with her rewards once she was able to work.

Therefore, to the outside world, Erza, who can skillfully use magic and is a member of Fairy Tail, can be called a magician, but within the guild, a child who is not yet capable of working is naturally not considered a mature magician.

Even Erza is like this, not to mention Noah, who hasn't even started learning magic.

Now, Makarov's words are acknowledging that Noah and Erza have the ability to accept requests, go out to work, and stand on their own!

How could Noah and Erza not be happy?

How could the rest of Fairy Tail not be surprised?

You must know that even Laxus was only acknowledged by Makarov as having the ability to stand on his own after he turned thirteen, allowing him to take on requests from the guild and go out to work.

"Grandpa."

So, after the excitement, Noah, who calmed down first, had a worried look on his face.

"Is it okay for us to go out to work now?"

Hearing Noah's words, Erza, Natsu, Gray, and the rest of the guild also reacted.

"I know what you're worried about, but since I asked, it naturally means that you already have a certain level of strength and can stand on your own. Otherwise, how could I allow you to go out to work so easily?"

In front of everyone in the guild, Makarov jumped off the bar, put his hands behind his back, looked up, and looked at Erza.

"Erza, your Requip Magic is very common, but your mastery of magic is no less than some of the magicians in the guild, and you also have excellent swordsmanship, which few magicians in the guild possess. Ordinary magicians are no longer your opponents!"

After speaking, Makarov looked at Noah, who had been staring at him, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

"As for Noah, although you haven't officially started learning magic, you have developed swordsmanship no less than Erza's during this time. Even if your strength is not as good as Erza's when she goes all out, it's not far off!"

Makarov glanced subtly at the Knight Sword he had given Noah, which was hanging at his waist, and nodded at Noah with certainty.

"Even without being able to use magic, you already possess strength that ordinary magicians can't match. Accepting tasks and going out will broaden your horizons and increase your experience, which is crucial to your future strength development. So, you should have some confidence in yourself."

Hearing this, Noah fell silent.

"Guild Master!" After a while, Erza said with a stern face.

"Please let me go out to work!"

It seems that Erza has made a decision.

And Erza's decision also made the trace of hesitation in Noah's heart disappear. He took a deep breath and nodded heavily to Makarov.

"Grandpa, no, Guild Master, I have also decided to officially accept requests and go out to work. Please allow it!"

"Very good!" Makarov grinned.

"Then, from today onwards, you two will officially have the right to accept requests and go out to work. The request forms are posted on the Request Board. Go and take a look yourselves. If you like something, just tear off the request form and come to me to go through the procedure!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the two youngest magicians in the guild being born, the people in the guild sent their blessings one after another.

Although Noah and Erza are still too young, their strength is obvious to everyone. They can always solve Natsu and Gray, who are only one or two years younger than them, neatly. In addition, with the occasional duels, everyone has recognized that Noah and Erza have the strength to rival real magicians.

"Going out to work?" Natsu shouted, his face full of excitement.

"Sounds like it could be pretty good!"

"You're still too early for that!" Gray, who was standing to the side, also looked envious, but even more so, he was being sarcastic towards Natsu.

"If you were to accept a request, I'm afraid even the client wouldn't want to deal with you!"

"What did you say?! Droopy eyes!"

"Talking about you! Slanted-eyes bastard!"

Immediately, Natsu and Gray, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, started brawling once again.

"For starters, you should begin with simple tasks!"

Makarov gave Noah and Erza some necessary precautions and then advised them in this way.

"After all, you're still young and lack experience. Even if you're willing to take on higher-level requests, the clients might not be willing to hire you. Start with something simple, preferably a request that suits you."

Noah and Erza nodded in succession, making Makarov smile.

"Of course, you can also choose to team up first. It's good to have a companion by your side."

"Team up?" Noah and Erza looked at each other at the same time, and then, as if they had seen through each other's hearts, they smiled tacitly.

"Let's hold off for now!" Noah gave the answer directly.

"Grandpa, you just said that we need to familiarize ourselves with the work first. So, for the first time, let us do it separately. Of course, we'll start with something simple!"

"Alright." Makarov didn't object.

Only then did Noah and Erza exchange a few words and start looking for requests that they liked.
