Since a certain troublesome little girl of a guild master refused to believe certain things, Gajeel had no choice but to go looking for his partner, Levy. He found her before long.
Of course, besides Levy, he also found Erza and Juvia. After adding to what Levy had already told them, he indignantly filled them in on his recent encounter with that troublesome little girl of a guild master and how she refused to believe him no matter what.
"You mean..."
"Annie caught those two Grimoire Heart members, but stubbornly insisted they were people you'd hired to impersonate them. So she took them away and refused to bring you to Makarov?"
Hearing Gajeel's complaint, Erza couldn't help frowning.
"That's right!"
"Annie turned those two guys into little birds. Then we tried explaining things to her, but she still wouldn't believe us and just left."
"She went... that way, I think!"
"Erza, what should we do now?"
After reporting everything he knew, Gajeel stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction.
"..."
"This island is huge. There's no way we can find Annie!"
"As for Makarov..."
"He's too far away, and we don't have time. We don't know whether Grimoire Heart sent more people here!"
"So..."
After pondering for a moment, Erza quickly made up her mind. She reached out, and a signal flare appeared in her palm.
"Anyway!"
"There's no way the dark guild would come to Tenrou Island for no reason!"
"This is urgent. We should notify everyone else right away, end today's trial early, and have them return to the temporary base to regroup before we decide what to do!"
Click!
After loading the signal flare, Erza raised the magical weapon high and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh~!
Boom!!!
A huge firework exploded high above Tenrou Island,
