Ye took his first Fairy Tail job with Erza as his guide, and they traveled to a manor to investigate a bandit takeover of a mine. After hearing that earlier mages had disappeared and the bandits’ leader used magic, Ye prepared to face them the next morning.

• Ye chose a bandit-subjugation job, and Makarov told him Erza would accompany him and show him the ropes.
• Ye arrived two hours late, joked that he had stopped to watch a kitten, and dodged Erza’s sword attacks before they set out together.

Gildarts returned to the guild and learned that Ye would take part in the S-Class Mage exam, which required candidates to find him and earn his approval. On the island, Ye and Laxus abandoned the exam’s usual approach to fight, and their battle escalated into a clash of Dragon Slayer magic and Ye’s qi.

• Mira offered to partner with Ye for the exam, punched him after he teased her, and ran off.

Ye became Fairy Tail’s youngest S-Class Mage, and three years later he joined an allied force responding to a monster riot in the Great Forest of Monsters.

• Makarov sent Ye to join Jura and Ichiya aboard Christina and help suppress a monster riot in the Great Forest of Monsters.
• Ye warned that the horde contained powerful S-Class beasts and joined Jura on the ground to defend soldiers as Christina’s cannons and Jura’s magic slowed the assault.
• When the beasts threatened to overrun the defenders, Ye declared himself their king and used Conqueror’s Haki to knock the creatures unconscious, prompting the soldiers to celebrate their survival.

Ye, Jura, and Ichiya traced the monster chaos to a ritual beneath the count’s estate, where black-robed cultists had sacrificed the count and his servants to corrupt the forest lord’s cub. As the forest lord approached, Ye sent Jura and Ichiya to protect the others and went out to hold it off.

• Gries told Ye and Jura that the count had secretly taken in a living creature and that the monsters had begun swarming the city two days earlier.
• Ye suspected the count’s estate was connected to the attacks and led Jura and Ichiya there, leaving Gries to watch the city walls.
• Ye knocked out the estate guards, found an underground passage, and uncovered a magic circle surrounding a monster cub.
• The black-robed men revealed that the cub belonged to Glingfins and that their spell would awaken evil in its blood relative; they had also used the count and his servants for a Blood Sacrifice.
• As bells sounded and Jura feared the forest lord had arrived, Ye ordered Jura to watch the cultists and call the guild for reinforcements, while Ichiya went to tell Gries to evacuate everyone.
• All six black-robed men suddenly collapsed dead as Ye went to face the approaching forest lord.

Ye fought through a 300,000-strong beast tide while Jura defended the rear passage, and Makarov led Fairy Tail reinforcements to the count's territory. After killing the Forest Lord Glingfins, Ye collapsed into Mira's arms as she reached him.

• Ye blasted the approaching beasts to buy time for Gries and the soldiers to evacuate, then joined Jura and gave him Power Scent and Healing Scent before leading the soldiers toward the shelter.
• Ye faced six Ten Wizard Saints-level beasts and a vast horde, but Conqueror's Haki failed to stop their magically induced frenzy, so he fought alone at the front of the tide.
• Makarov learned from the Magic Council that Ye was in danger and set out with Fairy Tail's B-class and higher wizards; Ye met them in Christina and told them he was still fighting alone.

• Makarov's group found Jura and learned Ye's battle had ended, then followed Mira to Ye, who collapsed into her arms after seeing her arrive.
