"Natsu, can you stop for a while? It's so distracting that my eyes are dazzled!"
Gray leaned against the pillar, rubbing his brows irritably.
Although he was complaining, his clenched fists and slightly trembling shoulders completely betrayed the panic in his heart.
Gajeel was covered in thick white bandages, leaning against the wall in the corner like a mummy.
He chewed a piece of rusty iron mechanically in his mouth, making a tooth-aching crunching sound.
Those wild eyes were fixed on the door handle of the infirmary, with unconcealed worry on their face.
Squeak--
The door to the infirmary was finally pushed open.
Porlyusica walked out with a cane and a tired look on his face.
"It's so noisy! You bunch of unruly brats!"
Porlyusica hit the floor hard with his crutch and scolded sternly.
The whole place fell silent for a moment. Everyone held their breath, not even daring to take a breath, and looked at Porlyusica eagerly.
"Hmph, that old man is lucky."
Porlyusica sighed and looked at everyone.
"My life was saved. I am temporarily out of danger."
As soon as these words came out, the entire guild hall seemed to have pressed the play button, and it became lively in an instant!
"Great! The old man is fine!"
Natsu jumped three feet high in excitement and sprayed out a pillar of blazing fire, which almost burned the ceiling.
"Love! Long live the president!" Happy was spinning happily in mid-air.
Lucy covered his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, with tears of joy filling the corners of his eyes.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Erza strode forward, and the Queen's majesty instantly subdued the entire audience.
She looked around at the excited crowd with an extremely serious expression.
"The president fell down from exhaustion this time because of the guild. I hope everyone will be more peaceful in the future, stop causing trouble, and stop letting the president worry about you! Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Everyone responded loudly.
Just then.
The door of the guild was pushed open forcefully.
Levy ran in panting, with wet tears still on her face, but her voice was extremely loud.
"Everyone! Brother Zhongwei has brought Laxus back!"
The words just fell.
Lu Chongwei walked into the hall with steady steps.
And following him was none other than Laxus, who had his head lowered and his whole body was in a state of embarrassment.
The atmosphere in the guild hall, which was still immersed in joy, suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"Laxus! How dare you come back, you bastard!"
Natsu was the first to go berserk, his fists instantly ignited with blazing flames, and he rushed forward without hesitation to fight for his life.
"Unforgivable! You almost destroyed the entire guild!"
Macao and Wakaba also stood up angrily, the magic circle lighting up in their hands.
Everyone's anger was instantly ignited, and they all roared at Laxus.
"Stop it all!"
Erza shouted sharply.
She flipped her wrist, and a sharp long sword was instantly unsheathed and stuck straight on the floor in front of Natsu, forcibly stopping the furious Natsu.
Erza did not look at Laxus, but turned to look at Porlyusica at the door of the infirmary.
"Mother-in-law Porlyusica, can you let Laxus go in to meet the president?" Erza asked respectfully.
Porlyusica glanced at Laxus coldly.
"Go in. This is what the old man asked when he woke up."
Porlyusica snorted coldly and moved out of the way with a cane.
Laxus stepped on his difficult legs and walked to the infirmary step by step.
When he came to Porlyusica, he stopped.
This once arrogant and arrogant man slowly lowered his high head.
"I'm sorry."
Laxus's voice is very low and a little hoarse.
But in this guild hall where the drop of a needle could be heard, these three words spread to every corner and into everyone's ears with great clarity.
The whole place was quiet.
Natsu's face suddenly froze with anger, his chin hit the floor, and his eyes nearly popped out.
Gray The ice cube in his hand shattered to the ground with a snap, with a ghostly expression on his face.
Lucy covered his mouth with both hands and took a deep breath.
Who would have thought that the arrogant Laxus would bow his head and apologize in front of everyone!
Lu Chongwei patted Laxus on the shoulder, and the two walked into the infirmary together.
Porlyusica turned his head and looked at Mirajane standing aside.
"Mirajane, you go in and take care of that old man, I'll go back to the forest first."
After finishing his instructions, Porlyusica left the guild on crutches.
The door to the infirmary slowly closed.
The friends outside the door looked at each other, and then heated discussions broke out.
"Hey hey hey, did I hear you correctly? Laxus just apologized?"
"The sun is coming out in the west! That guy actually lowers his head!"
Everyone was extremely surprised by Laxus's apology, and most of their anger dissipated involuntarily.
Erza clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
"Okay! Leave the matter of Laxus to the president and Zhongwei. We have more important things to do now!"
Erza's eyes lit up with persistence.
"Tomorrow night is the annual Fantasia! Everyone, hurry up and get ready, we want to show the vitality of Fairy Tail to the entire Magnolia!"
"But..." Lucy looked around with some worry.
"Everyone was injured in the civil war, and the city was also severely damaged. Is it really appropriate to hold a parade at this time?"
Mirajane walked to Lucy with a smile and gently held her hand.
"It's because everyone is hurt, it's because the city is devastated."
Mirajane's voice is gentle and full of power.
"That's why we want to hold this parade. We want to use smiles and magic to dispel the gloom in everyone's hearts and tell everyone that Fairy Tail will never be defeated!"
As the topic of Fantasia was raised, the atmosphere finally became active again.
Everyone sat together and began to discuss the specific details of the parade.
"Juvia! What kind of water magic are you planning to perform in tomorrow night's parade?"
Cana held up the huge wine barrel, took a big gulp of wine, and poked Juvia beside him with his elbow while smiling.
Juvia's face instantly turned red like a ripe tomato.
She covered her hot cheeks with both hands and her eyes involuntarily drifted to Gray not far away.
"Juvia...Juvia can do anything as long as he can participate in the parade and perform with Gray..."
Juvia's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he buried his head between his legs, so shy that white smoke came out of his head.
"Hahaha! Gray, you are so handsome!" Macao was cheering crazily from the side.
