Makarov suddenly stepped forward from the crowd and said in a deep voice.
"So you didn't refuse Natsu and the others' challenge again. After all, everyone has secrets."
"Of course, you can accept the challenge a second time."
After he said that, everyone stared intently at Bai Yu.
The president himself has spoken, so this matter is now a done deal.
However, they were equally eager to know what Bai Yu would choose.
A second challenge?
"Of course, but only one drink would make me bow down!"
One drink and you're ruined?
Those present couldn't help but twitch their facial muscles.
Especially noticeable was the bottle of liquor that Mirajane was still holding.
Could she be an alcoholic like Cana?
Originally, they thought Bai Yu would be very resistant to the second challenge.
After all, in the eyes of most people, they are being challenged again after passing the membership assessment.
That would be considered a disrespectful insult.
If it weren't for Natsu and Elfman, those two muscle-bound guys who didn't think things through more deeply...
I doubt anyone would be shameless enough to issue a second challenge.
However, this was something they never expected.
What they considered a disrespectful insult was, in Bai Yu's eyes, less important than a drink.
"A drink?"
Natsu was initially delighted, and quickly rummaged through his pockets several times.
However, as time went on, his expression gradually stiffened, eventually revealing a hint of embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, last time we did a mission we destroyed half a street, and I had to pay out all my reward money."
" Happy, can you lend me some money?"
Seeing Natsu asking a cat for money, Bai Yu helplessly touched the tip of his nose.
According to the original work, Happy and Gray were on the same team as Natsu.
Since Natsu doesn't have any money, then everyone else is probably in the same situation.
" Happy, isn't fish better than wine?" Happy pulled out his treasured fish from behind his back and generously handed it over, then said weakly.
"I'll trade you for alcohol, don't worry, I definitely won't eat it afterwards..."
Looking at Happy's earnest face, Mirajane shook his head with a helpless smile.
Elfman, standing to the side, scratched his head awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I don't have any money either. I've deposited all my money with my sister, and I'll only take it out when I get married."
Can you change your terms?
Bai Yu was helpless.
As expected, within the Fairy Tail Guild, those who are truly wealthy are rare breeds.
However, just as Bai Yu was about to say something, he raised an eyebrow and shifted his foot to the left.
A whooshing sound whistled past, and the car crashed into a large tree not far away.
Bang!
The tree trunk, as large as a baby's waist, snapped in half with a loud crack, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The sudden turn of events immediately caused everyone's expression to change drastically.
Hurriedly following the sound, the first thing that caught my eye was a cylindrical doll.
"It was Bickslow's attack!"
Erza's expression tightened, and she quickly turned to look at the rooftop.
As one of the few S-Class Mage in the Fairy Tail Guild, Erza knew very well that Bickslow was Laxus's shadow.
Their sudden appearance here means that the most troublesome opponent has also arrived.
Everyone's nerves tensed instantly, and they all turned to look.
The first thing that catches the eye are four figures of varying heights. Apart from Bickslow, who is wearing a black striped outfit and a strange mask and suddenly made his move.
There was also Freed, who wore a long red robe, carried a rapier, and had green hair.
Standing behind him was Evergreen, a blonde woman in a green miniskirt and glasses, with an arrogant expression on her face.
These three, from Fairy Tail, volunteered to form the so-called Thunder God Tribe.
And standing before them was Laxus, the man whom Thunder God Tribe admired. He was tall, clad in a fur coat, with blond hair and lightning bolt marks on his face.
Although he is Makarov's grandson, he is the most unruly member of the Fairy Tail Guild.
In addition, he possesses strength exceeding that of an ordinary S-Class Mage.
It's fair to say that without Gildarts, that freak, there would be no such thing as...
Then Laxus would be the biggest pervert in Fairy Tail.
" Laxus, have you completed the mission?" Makarov asked first.
"This is Bai Yu. He just passed the membership assessment. If you've completed your tasks, go and rest for a bit!"
As the guild master of Fairy Tail and Laxus's grandfather, Makarov was well aware of his grandson's character.
Unfortunately, grandfathers are often blind to what's right in front of them, and despite Makarov's many attempts, he couldn't change Laxus's mind.
"Old man, are you worried I'll cause trouble?" Laxus sneered.
"I saw the exchange just now; it was just some cheap tricks."
"If you can pass the assessment and enter the guild with just these little tricks, then you're shameless, I really have nothing to say."
"After all, within a union, one piece of trash is no different from a group of trash; they're both a burden."
"However, I just heard someone say that a drinking session could inspire someone to take on a challenge. Do you still dare to say something like that now?"
Erza's expression tightened, and she quickly gave Bai Yu a wink.
Erza truly didn't know anything about Bai Yu's background.
However, she had fought Laxus before and knew exactly where this arrogant guy's confidence came from.
She certainly didn't want Bai Yu to suffer a great loss so soon after joining the union.
However, Bai Yu didn't take these kind gestures to heart at all, and said with a smile.
"Whether you send the so-called Thunder God Tribe all at once, or lead them yourself, it doesn't matter."
"The important thing is, the price you're paying for getting me to do this is at least a year's worth of free drinks at bars!"
This is insane!
Looking at Bai Yu, who, as soon as he opened his mouth, was still talking nonsense about alcohol.
Everyone felt like they were dreaming.
His opening statement, challenging the entire Thunder God Tribe, was beyond their expectations.
However, now even Laxus has been picked up as a side project.
This is absolutely insane.
Is this some kind of alcohol obsession?
Erza and Mirajane were equally bewildered.
Looking at Bai Yu, who still looked smug, they couldn't help but want to say something.
I'll treat you to this drink, please don't go crazy!
Unfortunately, before they could speak, Laxus, standing on the rooftop, darkened his face and laughed angrily.
"What an amusing, arrogant brat! Your overconfident behavior is just my type."
"Because, at least I don't have to waste my breath; they just killed him!"
