"I won't say anything about you running into Gildarts this time, but I hope it won't happen again next time," Jieman said. As the guild master of Sabertooth, he knew who Gildarts was, and even if he went himself, he might not be able to do better.
"Yes! I will not let you down," Rufus said.
"Sting!"
"Exist!"
"I'm giving you one last chance. Don't let this mess happen again!"
"Thank you so much, I will do my best to meet your expectations!" Sting said.
"Yukino!"
"Exist!"
"You have no room for argument, you should understand that, right?" Jieman said.
"Yes... I was defeated by members of other guilds, tarnishing the reputation of Sabertooth," Yukino said.
"Smack...!" Jieman threw a bunch of grapes directly at Yukino's head. The juice from the broken grapes splashed into the corner of Yukino's eye, causing Yukino to involuntarily close her eyes.
"That's not what I meant! You risked your life on a bet and still lost! And you even got sympathy from the enemy! We're Sabertooth! Look at your current performance, and look at the attitude of those fools. You've even lost the title of the Strongest Magic Guild to Fairy Tail! What is Fairy Tail? A guild from seven years ago! We, Sabertooth, are the strongest now, yet we've ended up like this. It's all your fault!"
"Yes! I am willing to be punished!" Yukino said.
"Take off your clothes!" Jieman said.
"Understood! Obeying orders!" Yukino's body trembled slightly before she spoke, -723- and then began to take off her clothes in front of everyone. The expressions on the faces of Yukino's four teammates were slightly reluctant, but the other members of the guild looked straight ahead, seemingly without any extra emotion;
After Yukino took off all her clothes, her face flushed slightly, and her hands trembled slightly as she covered her chest.
"Remove the guild emblem..." Jieman said expressionlessly;
"... Yes, ma'am!" After removing the crest from her abdomen, Yukino knelt on the ground, her voice trembling, and said, "Although it's only for a short time, I still need to do what you all can to help me...!"
"Get out of here right now!! Trash...!!!"
After Yukino left, Sting and Rogue walked towards their room with their Koneko in the Sabertooth guild corridor;
"Our president really does things in extremes," Sting remarked.
"There's no other way! This is how the strongest guild survives!" said Sting's Koneko, Lector.
"Frosch feels so lonely...!"
"Is this what a 'guild' is?" Rogue asked.
"Ah...? But it disappeared due to insufficient strength. Isn't that something that everyone in the strongest guild has to go through?" Sting turned to look at Rogue and said.
"The strongest? To be honest, in just two days I've realized that the title of 'strongest guild' is just an empty name. With that man around, what's the point of being the strongest...!" Rogue said.
"Who knows what the president is thinking? But since he was trapped for seven years before appearing, he must have weaknesses. 'The Strongest Man' doesn't mean 'the invincible man.' There will always be a way to defeat him." After saying this, Sting walked forward.
"Speaking of which, it seems the young lady is going to come in in place of Yukino," Lector said to Sting.
"Wow...! Now we have the Strongest 5-man team!"
"Rogue! Will Frosch also disappear because he's too weak?" Frosch asked Rogue worriedly.
