Guild? No, a mental asylum

"Let's go, I'm taking you out of here!"

"Wait a moment, I need to grab some of my belongings."

Yun Feiyang brought Makarov to a waterfall and ducked into a cave behind it.

This was the place where he had lived for three years. Although it was crude, it had at least provided him with shelter from the wind and rain.

Now that he was leaving, he actually felt a bit reluctant... as if!

He couldn't wait to fly out of this dump. His mood right now was just like his name: cool, refreshing, and soaring!

As Makarov's mouth twitched, he dragged out a massive bundle.

This was a pack sewn together from animal hides, containing all of his worldly possessions.

"What exactly do you have in there?"

"Animal hides! They're all pristine furs that I carefully selected and kept. I'm heading out into the world, right? I'm penniless, so if I sell these, I'll have some cash!"

Over the past three years, he had killed countless magical beasts, keeping only the furs that were powerful, beautiful, and intact.

"Not bad, you certainly know how to pinch pennies!"

"You know it!"

"Let's go!"

"You got it!"

"Clear Breeze Accompany My Body!"

Yun Feiyang chanted the incantation, and the wind lifted him and his bundle, causing them to hover in mid-air.

"You... you certainly know how to apply what you've learned!"

"It's convenient, Guild Master. Do you want to try it?"

"No need!"

Makarov said with profound meaning, "People should keep their feet on the ground. Opportunism is never the way to go!"

Yun Feiyang curled his lip. Old people were just so long-winded, always loving to preach big principles!

"Guild Master, hurry up!"

"Guild Master, if you keep walking like that, will we even make it out by nightfall?"

"Guild Master, are you crawling?"

"Guild Master, why don't you just roll? It'd be faster, seriously!"

Unable to take it anymore, Makarov roared, "Shut up! How am I supposed to go fast? Is this any way to treat an old man?"

True, how was someone with such short legs supposed to go fast?

"Forget it, forget it. Just let me fly you!"

"Heh, didn't you say you liked having your feet on the ground? I think this is just fine. You should keep walking slowly!"

Veins bulged on Makarov's forehead. He was so angry he nearly unleashed Fairy Law just to show this brat why flowers are red!

"Right, Guild Master, these furs of mine should be worth a fair bit, right?"

"That depends on who you sell them to. If you sell them to ordinary merchants, you'll get a few million J at most. If you sell them to Mages, you can definitely get over ten million."

The fur of Magical Beasts possesses various properties—such as cold resistance, fire resistance, water resistance, lightning resistance, durability... ahem—and other functions, making them very popular in the magical world.

The J mentioned here refers to the currency used in this world. Its purchasing power is relatively low; 10,000 J is equivalent to about 500 Renminbi, similar to the currency of the Island Nation.

"I suggest you sell them to the guild."

"The guild buys these things too?"

"Of course. The guild has its own industries, which include Magic Tools. Your furs can be crafted into clothing; there's no worry about them not selling. As for the price, we'll buy them at market value. The guild doesn't take advantage of its own family."

"I see. Then I'll sell them to the guild."

"Fine. Once we get back and have them appraised, I'll tell you the exact price."

"No problem!"

In the end, Yun Feiyang couldn't stand Makarov's snail-like pace any longer. He whipped up a gust of wind and carried him, flying toward the edge.

Makarov took out the compass key and opened the Barrier Gate.

For Yun Feiyang, this portal leading to the outside world was like the gates to heaven!

"Don't get too excited. Let's go!"

Stepping out of the Barrier Gate, Yun Feiyang could no longer contain the excitement in his heart and shouted, "I, Hu Hansan, have finally made it out!"

Then, a blast of snow hit him, making him shiver!

"What kind of dump is this? The environment is atrocious!"

"This is the summit of Mount Hakobe, covered in snowstorms year-round."

"Is it far from the guild?"

"Not far, just a few hours' walk!"

That's not considered far?

Walking is out of the question; I'm never walking anywhere in this lifetime!

Yun Feiyang took Makarov and flew directly back, landing in Magnolia Town.

Magnolia is a historic magical commercial city, with people bustling through the streets.

"People, so many people, this is great! Hahaha..."

"Mister, how much for this?"

"What? You want money? See that Makarov over there? Go ask him for it!"

"Ma'am, can you make this any cheaper?"

"What? You don't even know the Guild Master of Fairy Tail?"

"Auntie, your milk is delicious, can I have some more?"

"See that perverted little old man? He wants some too!"

Yun Feiyang was like a wild horse off its tether, running around everywhere, while poor Makarov could only serve as the designated payer.

Good grief. Usually, when someone spends three years alone, they end up with claustrophobia or agoraphobia, but this kid? He actually managed to develop a case of Social Butterfly Syndrome!

After a lap around town, Yun Feiyang had accumulated a pile of luggage, and he had changed into casual clothes.

Yun Feiyang cared a lot about his personal image. His original animal-hide outfit wasn't exactly ugly, but it made him look like an outsider; not changing it would have been a disservice to his handsome appearance.

Makarov looked at his empty wallet, his heart aching terribly.

"Let's get this straight: the money for these things is coming out of those animal hides of yours."

"Got it, got it, you stingy old man!"

They walked to the end of the street, where a building stood tall, facing the sea. It was none other than Fairy Tail.

"Well? This is our guild, your home from now on!"

Yun Feiyang gave his assessment: "It's a bit old."

"Well~ it hasn't been renovated in twenty years, after all."

"Why renovate? Just tear it down and rebuild it."

"Ahem, ahem~~ Appearance isn't important. What matters in a guild is the inner substance, like the companions. They definitely won't let you down!"

The brat said it so easily, but does it not cost money?

"Going in!"

As soon as the door was pushed open, a human-shaped projectile flew over—it was a black-haired girl.

Makarov's eyes lit up, and he reached out both hands to catch her...

"Guild Master, watch out!"

At the critical moment, Yun Feiyang stepped forward and reached out his hand...

Grab!

"Too small! Your perspective is too narrow!"

Makarov was incredibly envious. This was supposed to be my treatment, wasn't it? And what's wrong with being small? No matter how small, it's still meat!

Setting the girl down, Yun Feiyang looked at the scene inside the guild in shock.

This was no friendly, loving guild; it was a bunch of lunatics!

They were either brawling in groups or causing destruction everywhere. The entire guild was in complete chaos!

In particular, a pink-haired boy and a perverted boy were having the time of their lives—one was spitting fire everywhere, and the other was freezing everything in sight.

There was also a red-haired girl who was even more terrifying. While shouting that fighting was forbidden, she was swinging a greatsword around, hacking at everything. She was the craziest of them all!

Yun Feiyang's mouth twitched. "Is this the 'inner substance' you were talking about?"

"Handsome, want to go out tonight?"

The girl he had saved clung to him, her eyes brimming with flirtatious charm!

Good grief, you're only twelve or thirteen, right? What's with this "experienced veteran" act?

The girl let out a hiccup, reeking of alcohol!

"How many dishes did you have? How did you get this drunk!"

Yun Feiyang asked Makarov again, "Are you sure this is a guild and not an asylum for the mentally ill?"

Makarov's face turned green with rage. His fury soared through the roof, and he transformed into a giant!
