On the Ishgar Continent, all sorts of guilds have sprung up.
However, the biggest guarantee for entering the top ten guild rankings is having a Grand Magister from the Ten Wizard Saints.
Apart from the Ten Wizard Saints, who are known as the Four Heavenly Kings and ranked among the top four, whose whereabouts are unknown.
The other six are all pillars of their respective guilds.
It can be said that having just one of the Ten Wizard Saints is enough to support the glory of a guild.
However, now there are two Fairy Tail, one of whom is a newcomer who just joined a day ago.
If this news hadn't come from within the Magic Council...
They absolutely refused to believe that it was true.
Of course, some people might think that Bai Yu, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, is just a name without substance.
This has led to a surge of people who, over the past two weeks, have come to Fairy Tail to challenge Bai Yu, hoping to ride on his fame to the top.
Unfortunately, they were defeated by Natsu, Erza, and the others before they even saw Bai Yu.
Ultimately, as time went on, Bai Yu, who was at the center of the storm, still hadn't appeared, and the number of challengers had dwindled to very few.
" Mira, today seems to be your birthday. Do you have any wishes?"
Sitting at the bar, the short-statured Makarov took a swig of rum and suddenly spoke up.
Mira paused for a moment, then looked away from the empty chair, smiled, and shook her head.
"President, what other wishes could I possibly have? I just want everyone to be happy."
"Furthermore, if the guild thrives, I can also relax and clean cups here!"
Upon hearing this, Makarov sighed softly and took another swig of his drink.
As the parent of all the members of this guild, Makarov certainly knew what Mira's unchanging wish was every year.
Of course, there might be one more small wish this year.
However, seeing Mira still preferring to keep things to herself, Makarov clearly felt helpless.
Lisanna's death had become a nightmare for Mira, rendering her unable to use magic.
If keeping your worries bottled up inside becomes the final straw that breaks your spirits.
This could potentially lead to Mira's mental breakdown, making it a complete loss for her.
Unfortunately, despite thinking about it for so many years, Makarov still couldn't come up with a useful solution.
Originally, regarding Bai Yu's sudden appearance, since this kid seemed to have good interpersonal relationships, I thought he could be able to comfort Mira.
I never expected that before I could even settle into that chair, the person would disappear completely.
"Heh, Mira the Demon, isn't your annual wish to run to the grave of the unfortunate sister you killed and pray that she can be resurrected?"
"I remember you also said that you would even die if Lisanna were to be resurrected!"
A cold laugh suddenly came from outside the door.
The huge guild fell into a deathly silence. Erza and the others all fixed their gazes on the uninvited guest outside the door.
" Laxus, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Makarov's face darkened, and he shouted angrily.
"Don't forget, we're all family in the guild. There are some things you can't say. Apologize to Mira right now!"
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Erza and the others remained silent, but their somber expressions clearly revealed their attitude.
After all, Laxus is usually quite difficult to get along with.
However, saying such things at this time is clearly unforgivable.
Laxus, seemingly unfazed by the gazes directed at him, smiled dismissively.
"Old man, what you're saying is ridiculous. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak."
"It's already quite generous of us to let a weakling like this just laze around and wait to die. Can't we even tell the truth?"
"Of course, if wishing works and can bring the dead back to life, I will certainly apologize."
"But is that even possible? I don't think even a god could do it!"
"Or Mira could tell me herself now that she never intended to resurrect Lisanna, and that I misheard her, and I would apologize sincerely!"
you!
Makarov was furious.
Erza and the others turned ashen-faced, their fists clenched tightly.
" Natsu, Gray, let's go beat him up!"
Erza said in a deep voice.
Compared to Laxus, a man of hidden strength, Erza truly deserves the title of Titania.
However, he still dared not be overconfident and went to challenge Laxus alone.
If you say something outrageous, you might even get lectured back at someone for it.
This is probably the real case of losing more than you gain.
" Erza, no!" Mira hurriedly said.
Her pretty face was filled with dejection, and she shook her head before speaking.
" Laxus is right. If I could bring Lisanna back to life, I would give my life for her."
"But such a thing probably doesn't exist. I've been making the same wish all these years. If it could really come true, Lisanna would have returned long ago!"
"I was too naive and foolish."
The voice was soft, but carried a hint of melancholy.
Seeing Mira's dejected smile and her completely deflated demeanor, everyone's faces were filled with anger.
Laxus, seemingly unfazed by the changing atmosphere, continued to fan the flames with a smile.
"What's wrong? You're not convinced?"
"Unfortunately, what can one do even if one is unwilling to accept it? The wish to resurrect the dead is, unless one is a god, absolutely impossible."
"However, it's a pity that in this world, let alone dragons, even the gods have long been exterminated. Besides, even if there were still gods, who would care about the wishes of a weakling?"
"There are so many weak people in the world; if we had to give alms to every single one of them, being a god would be incredibly difficult."
Upon hearing this, the Thunder God Tribe standing behind Laxus couldn't help but laugh.
Makarov's face Kotetsu, the Roar angrily, " Laxus, what are you doing? Today, even if I have to use my fists, I'll make you apologize to Mira!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the immense magical power dormant within Makarov surged forth like a tidal wave.
Laxus, standing outside the door, saw this and a cold smile appeared on his face. He was about to say something.
"Elder Chairman, this frail body isn't suited for getting so worked up. It's not worth it."
"Of course, if Laxus really wants to see a god, then I'll show him what a god looks like!"
Familiar voices rang out without warning.
Everyone froze on the spot, including Laxus. His sneer vanished instantly, his face darkened, and he turned to look at the door.
Laxus chose this time to show up and stir up trouble, entirely for two reasons.
First, they broke off relations with the guild.
The second reason is to force the emergence of this new Ten Wizard Saints!
