"Hand over all your valuables!"

"We only want money, not lives. Don't force us to kill you if you know what's good for you!"

More than ten bandits suddenly rushed into the carriage, wielding knives and guns as they started their no-capital business.

What left Yun Feiyang and Makarov even more speechless was that the man and woman seated across from them also stood up, pulled out weapons, and joined in.

The generously endowed female bandit waved a knife around in front of them.

"You enjoyed that view just now, didn't you? Hand over your valuables, or don't blame me for getting rough!"

Yun Feiyang and Makarov looked at each other, both at a loss for words.

"Guild Master, did you forget to wash your face before heading out this morning?"

"Nonsense! You're the one who forgot to brush your teeth!"

The female bandit flew into a rage. "Shut up! This is a robbery. Take it seriously!"

"Hurry up and hand over the money, or I'll poke a hole in you!"

Yun Feiyang raised both hands. "Madam Boss, I don't have any money. My pockets are cleaner than my face!"

"That old man has money. Rob him!"

"You little brat, is that any way to sell out your elder?"

"Shut up!"

"Old man, do you want your money or your life?"

"No! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Facing the fierce-looking female bandit, the "panicked" Makarov began grabbing wildly with both hands.

Squeeze, squeeze!

Yun Feiyang's face went dark. This lecherous old man was beyond saving!

The female bandit flushed with rage. "You dare cop a feel? I'll kill you, you filthy old man!"

She thrust her dagger at Makarov, but Yun Feiyang caught it.

"Feel good?"

"Ahem... I can feel spring in the air!"

"Fine, then take your time enjoying yourself!"

After tossing the female bandit to Makarov, Yun Feiyang stood up and clenched his fist at the group of bandits.

Wind Bind!

A light breeze swept through the carriage and formed shackles, tightly binding every bandit.

With the trouble resolved, everyone broke into applause.

"Does anyone have rope? Tie these people up!"

"Make sure you tie them tightly!"

After sitting back down, Yun Feiyang said helplessly, "Guild Master, this is clearly a world of Magic, yet these people are robbing a train. Isn't something wrong with their brains?"

"Well... there will always be people willing to take chances. Nothing strange about it!"

Suddenly, the train jolted violently, then began shaking without stop!

"What happened?"

This abnormal situation sent everyone into a panic!

Yun Feiyang stuck his head out the window, and his pupils abruptly contracted!

"We're in big trouble!"

"What is it?"

"The train wants to find itself a mistress!"

"Speak plainly!"

"It derailed!"

It turned out that some bandits had rushed into the driver's cabin, and during their clash with the train staff, the train had derailed!

"Then hurry up and save everyone!"

Makarov climbed out the window and flipped onto the roof. Yun Feiyang followed him into the air!

"Even if you say that, how are we supposed to save them? This is a train, not a car!"

Yun Feiyang could destroy a train, but making one stop was truly asking too much of him!

"Even if we can't, we have to try. There are countless lives at stake!"

The two suddenly narrowed their eyes, because a cliff lay ahead!

"There's no time!"

Makarov raced to the front of the train and leaped down, transforming into a giant and bracing himself against it with all his strength!

But the effect was limited. This was a high-speed train; it would not stop so easily!

"Guild Master, move aside!"

Yun Feiyang flew over Makarov's head and stopped in front of the train.

He held a Wind Blade and slashed forward!

Black Tortoise!

Countless Mystic Snakes wrapped around the train to increase resistance, while the Mystic Tortoise blocked its path!

With a deafening bang, the front of the train crumpled inward. The Black Tortoise shattered as well, and Yun Feiyang was blasted backward!

Luckily, Makarov had moved to the side of the carriage. Otherwise, that blow would have been enough to hurt him badly!

"Again!"

Black Tortoise!

Bang!

The Black Tortoise shattered once more!

Yun Feiyang turned to look at the approaching cliff, and a fierce look entered his eyes!

"Today, I'm really going to go head-to-head with you. I refuse to believe I can't stop you!"

Black Tortoise!

Bang!

Black Tortoise!

Bang!

Black Tortoise!

Bang!

Under wave after wave of resistance, the train gradually began to slow!

"Feiyang, give it everything you've got~~~"

Makarov hugged the train as his feet carved a massive trench into the ground. His face was flushed red as he roared with all his strength!

He lowered his head to look at the bottomless abyss below, then looked back at the train still charging toward him!

Yes, he had already been pushed off the cliff!

Storm!

With a roar, Yun Feiyang charged toward the train. Twin storms formed beneath his feet as boosters, and he began wrestling against the train's momentum!

At the same time, wild winds howled like a typhoon sweeping through, battering the train fiercely!

"Stop already~~~~"

The two men's Magic Power erupted, forming twin pillars of energy that shot into the sky and scattered the dark clouds, allowing sunlight to shine down again!

After one carriage extended beyond the cliff, the train finally came to a slow stop!

Everyone whose hearts had nearly leaped out of their chests finally let out a deep breath, then burst into cheers!

One after another, they rushed out of the carriages and shouted at the two of them!

Yun Feiyang landed on the roof and sat beside Makarov!

"Mother of mercy, I nearly worked myself to death!"

"You worked hard. Our efforts weren't wasted!"

"Of course not. Otherwise, where would a Ten Great's dignity go?"

"Well... this really is something worth boasting about!"

Looking at the crowd below, Yun Feiyang suddenly said, "Guild Master, do you think this is when I should collapse from exhaustion, and then they'll say tenderly, 'He's still just a child!'"

Makarov's mouth twitched. The kid was good in every way, except his thoughts jumped around too much. People often could not keep up with his pace.

"How about I ask the Magic Council to give you an award?"

"That works. The Royal Family has to reward us too. After all, we saved so many people!"

"That makes sense!"

Makarov's eyes lit up. That could absolutely happen!

He wanted nothing else, only money. He desperately needed money, because the people in the Guild were far too destructive, and his little savings were nowhere near enough to cover the damages!

"Guild Master, does this count as an S-class mission?"

"Brat, don't push your luck!"

Then he added, "Let's count it as an ordinary mission."

"Works for me!"

Makarov earnestly lectured him, "You shouldn't expect benefits for doing good deeds. That's something you need to correct!"

"No, no, that way of thinking is wrong. Rewards create motivation, and that encourages people to do more good deeds!"

"Giving is the cause, and reward is the result. Wouldn't people feel disheartened if there were no rewards? Over time, who would still be willing to do good deeds?"

Makarov froze for a moment. He had to admit that the kid's argument made a lot of sense!

Damn it, I'm an eighty-year-old man, yet I lost an argument to a teenager. How embarrassing!

"Guild Master, since you're so noble, why not give all the rewards to me?"

"Ahem, ahem~~"

Makarov got to his feet. "We should leave. There'll be a pile of trouble to clean up otherwise, and we're about to be late for the regular meeting!"

"The train is like this now. How are we leaving?"

"Don't we still have you?"

"Old man, I'm reporting you for exploiting child labor!"

"You count as child labor?"

"If I'm underage, I do!"

Still bickering, Yun Feiyang lifted Makarov and flew into the sky!
