In addition to Lu Chongwei's personal growth, the guild also welcomed a lot of new blood.
A green-haired man named Freed is accompanied by two companions with very different personalities - Evergreen, who wears glasses and likes to turn people into stones, and Bickslow, who always wears a mask and controls puppets.
These three people formed Thunder God Tribe, who circled around Laxus all day long, claiming to be Laxus's personal bodyguards.
Although Lu Chongwei thinks they are a bit middle-class, I have to admit that these three people are very strong and can be regarded as the backbone of the guild.
There is also a guy named Loke, who wears a suit all day long and has a coquettish hairstyle. He can't walk when he sees beautiful women.
But he does have two brushes, the one he uses is Ring Magic, and his physical skills are also very strong.
In addition, a pair of partners who use Gun Magic - Bisca and Alzack also joined the guild. Although these two people have not pierced the window paper, anyone with a discerning eye can see the sour love atmosphere between them.
The old members are also making progress.
The most eye-catching one is Mirajane.
In last year's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, Mirajane relied on the terrifying Take Over Magic to pass all the way and was finally promoted to S-Class Mage.
On the day of promotion, the Demon, who had just received the S-Class badge, the first thing he did was to run up to Erza, shove the badge in Erza's face, and said provocatively:
"How is it? Now I am also S-Class! Do you dare to have a fight with me?"
Erza naturally will not show weakness, Requip on the spot.
As a result, the guild hall experienced another devastating blow.
In the end, Lu Chongwei had to take action. One on each side, they used Bakudō #61 and six sticks to tie the two hooded women into rice dumplings, thus calming down the storm.
In addition to Mirajane, Mystogan, who is always mysterious and comes and goes without a trace, also quietly completed S-Class Exam in the past two years.
So far, Fairy Tail has the most luxurious S-Class lineup in the Fiore Kingdom: Gildarts, Laxus, Lu Chongwei, Erza, Mirajane, Mystogan.
However, the strongest Gildarts has been gone for more than a year.
It is said that he accepted a super commission named Century Quest, but there has been no news yet.
Magnolia Suburban, on a hillside with beautiful scenery.
Here stands a newly built three-story villa. It has white walls, a red roof, and a spacious courtyard filled with flowers.
This is the new home of Lu Chongwei.
With the generous bounty earned from frantically swiping S-Class Mission in the past two years, Lu Chongwei finally realized his dream - to move out of the cramped boys' dormitory and own his own mansion.
However, living alone did not last long.
On the second day after he moved in, Mirajane appeared at the door dragging large and small bags of luggage.
"I want to rent a house!"
This is her reason.
"Anyway, your house is so big, it's a waste to live alone. I pay the rent, and I can also help you with cooking and cleaning."
Before Lu Chongwei could refuse, Mirajane had already chosen a bedroom on the second floor with the best lighting and moved in.
Immediately afterwards, Erza also came.
"Since Mira can live in it, so can I."
Erza's reason is simpler and more crude.
"I don't want to lose to her."
So, Erza also rented another bedroom on the second floor.
In this way, Lu Chongwei was forced to start a cohabitation life of one man and two women.
Although I have to endure the bickering and secret rivalry between these two women every day, I have to say...
Someone is cooking, someone is washing clothes, and there are two beautiful beauties who are eye-catching. This life is indeed very nourishing.
This afternoon.
Lu Chongwei is sitting on the terrace on the second floor, holding a glass of iced juice in his hand and a task list brought back from the guild on his lap.
The sun shines on him through the leaves, making him warm.
His eyes scanned the list and finally stopped at a line of red writing.
[Decade Quest: Frost Dragon (suspected) who is attacking Far North.]
"Decade Quest ah..."
Lu Chongwei touched his chin, becoming interested.
S-Class Mission He is tired of this, and an opponent of that level is not even qualified to let him draw his sword.
If you want to go further and touch the threshold of Bankai, you may need this more difficult challenge.
"What are you looking at? So entranced?"
Suddenly, a delicate face hung upside down from above without any warning, almost touching the tip of Lu Chongwei's nose.
"Wow!"
Lu Chongwei was startled and almost spilled the juice in his hand.
"Mira! Can you stop showing up like this all the time? You'll scare people to death!"
Mirajane turned over lightly and landed on the ground, wearing a loose home clothes, with her long silver hair hanging freely.
She came over with a smile and took a look at the list in Lu Chongwei's hand.
"Decade Quest? Do you want to go?"
Lu Chongwei nodded and put the list on the table.
"Well, I've been feeling stuck lately and want to find something exciting."
Mirajane looked at the list, and the smile in his eyes faded a little.
Decade Quest, that is a more dangerous existence than S-Class. It is said that even Ten Wizard Saints may not be able to escape intact.
But she didn't dissuade him.
Because she knows that no one can change what Lu Chongwei decides. Moreover, she believes in his strength.
"Since you want to go, then go ahead."
Mirajane sat opposite him, holding his chin in his hands and looking at him softly.
"But you have to promise me one thing."
"What's the matter?" Lu Chongwei asked.
Mirajane stretched out a finger and tapped the table lightly.
"Elfman, that idiot, recently picked up S-Class Mission, who is attacking Beast King. But I don't trust him alone, and I want to help him."
"But you also know that Beast King is very cunning, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it by myself."
Mirajane looked at Lu Chongwei with expectation.
"When you finish this Decade Quest come back..."
"Come with me to defeat that Beast King, okay?"
The early morning sunshine shines through the gaps in the leaves and dapples the stone road of Magnolia. The air is filled with dew and the aroma of freshly baked bread, and everything looks the same as usual.
Lu Chongwei was sitting on the railing on the second floor of the guild, holding a letter with the Magic Council badge in his hand and frowning.
"What's wrong? You're looking sad so early in the morning."
Mirajane came over with two glasses of juice. Today she was wearing a light white dress with her long silver hair tied into a high ponytail. She looked full of energy. She handed a glass of juice to Lu Chongwei and sat down next to him.
Lu Chongwei sighed and raised the letter in his hand, "The designated task from Magic Council has come down. Erza and I are called to handle it. It is said that it involves an ancient ruin that has just been unearthed. I am afraid that the dark guild will intervene."
"So, that Decade Quest..." Mirajane blinked with regret.
"We can only push it back." Lu Chongwei looked at her apologetically, "This mission is rather urgent and we have to leave early tomorrow morning. When this time is over, I will do the other one Decade Quest."
"It doesn't matter, business matters." Mirajane was very open-minded. She smiled and waved her hand, then turned her gaze to the task board on the first floor, her eyes becoming firm, "Just in time, I also plan to take Elfman and Lisanna for special training while you are away."
