The huge guild hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
All eyes were on Bai Yu.
As members of the Fairy Tail Guild, they hadn't heard anyone ask to join the guild in a long time.
After all, Fairy Tail Guild in the Kingdom of Fiore.
However, after Natsu and other problem children grew up, his reputation in the Magic Council became too bad.
At the same time, the extensive destruction led to compensation issues, leaving the guild in a state of poverty completely disproportionate to its ranking.
If it weren't for the other diligent guild members acting as repairmen...
It's likely that Fairy Tail Guild has already closed down.
Bai Yu has now offered to join the Fairy Tail Guild, which is a rare occurrence.
" Erza just said your name is Bai Yu, and mine is Natsu." Natsu, who has Red-Haired and wears a scarf, spoke first.
"That's Gray over there, and Elfman too. We're the three-person assessment team. If you really want to join Fairy Tail, you can choose one from here."
"You'll pass if you can bump into one of us during a direct confrontation."
"Of course, I'd prefer you to choose me."
As he spoke, Natsu, brimming with fighting spirit, bumped his fist with his palm.
Gray, standing to the side, also wore a fiercely competitive expression.
As for Elfman, he was all talk about being a man and showing off his muscles.
Looking at the three energetic individuals, Makarov chuckled dryly and said, " Bai Yu, don't make things difficult for Mirajane. The strength of S-Class Mage is not something to be underestimated."
"As for Natsu and the other two, they seem a bit weak, but I'll still remind you that they are A-Class mages, just one step away from S-Class Mage."
"So, as the guild master, I won't make things difficult for you. Just do as Natsu says. It's a bit challenging, but there's still hope."
Mirajane, standing to the side, smiled and nodded, but a hint of sadness flickered deep in her eyes.
After all, Lisanna had always been a thorn in Mirajane's side.
His own strength was greatly diminished, which is also inextricably linked to Lisanna's situation.
Bai Yu's sudden mention of it inevitably brings up memories of what happened back then.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Bai Yu.
Sensing the change in atmosphere around him, Bai Yu smiled, took a sip of his drink, and turned to look at Natsu.
That's it?
Can I say, "Can you all come at me together?"
The soft sound, at that moment, struck the heart like an invisible hammer blow.
Everyone's expression froze instantly.
Erza paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly.
After spending some time together, Erza gained some understanding of Bai Yu's personality.
Say the most outrageous things and do the craziest things.
It's fair to say that Erza had anticipated this choice.
If Bai Yu hadn't said those words, Erza would probably feel like a stranger.
" Bai Yu, are you joking?" Makarov asked, frowning.
"Are you unclear about the hierarchy of Archmages? If not, I can explain it to you."
As one of the Ten Wizard Saints of the Magic Council.
Makarov certainly seems cynical.
However, his strength and keen eyesight are not just for show.
The magical particles emanating from Bai Yu's body had already been detected.
If we really have to assess him, Bai Yu's strength is at most at the level of a C-Class mage, which is far inferior to Natsu's.
Most importantly, Natsu, Gray, and Elfman are all users of special magic.
The power that such special magic users can unleash is several times that of ordinary mages.
It's fair to say that Bai Yu is now challenging all three of them with a single word.
In the eyes of others, this would undoubtedly be seen as self-humiliation.
"Old man, let's do as he says."
Erza suddenly spoke up.
Everyone froze, including Natsu and Gray.
They were indeed defeated by Erza, but that doesn't mean their strength can be so easily underestimated.
Even Makarov was a little confused.
However, considering that Erza usually acts with great discretion, and especially seeing the determined look on Erza face, Makarov couldn't help but sigh.
"You little rascal, I'm starting to seriously suspect you're Erza's fiancé, otherwise why would she go through all this trouble with you?"
"Since you want to challenge three, then Natsu, the three of you can come at me all at once."
"Choose an outdoor battleground; don't break anything here."
" Bai Yu, no matter the outcome of this battle, as long as you still have the face to stay, I'll let you join."
"Thank you, Chairman!" Bai Yu smiled as he looked at Natsu and the other two.
Bai Yu was well aware that this abrupt request was somewhat arrogant and inappropriate.
However, this is not Bai Yu's fault.
After all, within the Fairy Tail Guild, those few are second only to Erza in strength.
As one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Makarov is indeed a worthy target to be cut down.
However, challenging the guild leader right off the bat is practically the same as kicking someone out of a tournament.
As for Super S-Class Mage like Gildarts, with Bai Yu's current strength, even if Gildarts were in the guild, Bai Yu wouldn't invite trouble.
Another S-Class Mage Laxus, who possesses Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic.
After weighing the options, Bai Yu realized that with his current strength, it would be difficult to gain the upper hand.
Rather than doing something thankless and putting your face in someone else's shoes to get beaten up.
Bai Yu decided to start with the easier ones.
Natsu and his two companions are undoubtedly the easiest targets for obtaining Attribute Fragment, serving as whetstones for him to grow stronger quickly.
With Makarov's approval, Natsu and his two companions were indeed puzzled, but their faces were still full of fighting spirit as they quickly rushed out.
Bai Yu followed closely behind the three of them and left.
Makarov leaped down from the bar and walked to Erza's side, unable to resist speaking.
" Erza, give me a straight answer! Is he really your fiancé? Or did you get jealous because you glanced at Mirajane a couple of times and then deliberately sabotaged him? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let him suffer at the hands of Natsu and the others, would you?"
Mirajane's cheeks flushed instantly; he hadn't expected Makarov to bring up such a pretext, and he was about to explain.
Erza, standing to the side, rolled her Byakugan and a serious expression appeared on her face.
"Old man, shut up! I have absolutely nothing to do with him."
"As for Natsu and his two companions, do you believe they will be wiped out?"
Makarov and Mirajane's expressions changed drastically.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Erza held a hint of disbelief.
As native members of Fairy Tail, Natsu and his two companions have witnessed firsthand the extent of their strength.
