Hughes Suppresses the Guild Single-Handedly

Behind the guild by the lake, Hughes stared blankly at the sea of people in front of him.

He hadn't expected that his casual suggestion would cause the entire guild to cheer and surge towards the lake, with even Gildarts and Laxus mingling in the crowd.

"Come and play, everyone!" Natsu launched the first attack in the lake, using Splash Jump, which was extremely effective, soaking Gray and the others who hadn't yet entered the water.

Enraged, Gray leaped into the water.

"You bastard with slanted eyes, don't run away!"

"Requip Magic - Swimsuit!" Erza, not to be outdone, followed closely behind.

... Well, from beginning to end, it was all pretty ordinary. If you didn't see Erza's hair color, Hughes would have almost thought it was Levy or Wendy from six years in the future who had traveled through time.

"Splash, splash!"

Led by Gray and Erza, people along the lake jumped into the water like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, their entry movements varied wildly.

Lisanna, wearing a swimming ring, looked at Mira and Hughes with sparkling eyes.

"Fun~ I love playing~ I want to play!"

Hughes didn't even bother to comment on Lisanna's swimming ring, since there weren't any swimming rings or swimsuits in the guild; he only looked away for a moment, and everyone had changed into their swimsuits and put on their swimming rings.

The last time we were fishing by the lake, it was the same thing. As soon as he finished speaking, someone pulled out a fishing rod, which was eerily unsettling.

There were groups of people in the lake. Hughes waved his hand dismissively, letting Lisanna go in and play.

This girl possesses the Take Over Magic the Animal Soul, so she can't drown.

"Go ahead, just be careful. If you have any problems, just call someone nearby!"

"Hey, Elfman, let's go find them and play!"

The mischievous Lisanna grabbed Elfman's hand and ran off, her face beaming with joy.

"What about you, Mira? Aren't you going to play with them?" Hughes asked Mira in surprise.

The girl changed into a rather conservative swimsuit, which made her stand out from the others. In Hughes's memory, Mira wasn't a shy person at all!

"Go play by yourself, I'll watch here for a while!" Mira whispered, almost burying her head in her chest.

She was a little shy, as this was the first time she had dressed like this in front of Hughes.

It took Hughes a lot of effort to hear what Mira said.

"Haha, can't swim? Don't worry, you can learn from Lisanna and wear a swimming ring!"

"No, I can swim, it's just..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gildarts in the lake was already waving and shouting at Hughes, "Hey, Hughes, come play over here!"

Hughes waved his hand, indicating that he would go over immediately. "Mira, I'll go to Gildarts's side first!"

Mira nodded her little head quietly. Seeing Hughes leave, the tension on her face eased slightly, but she felt a little disappointed.

On the other side, the mischievous Hughes leaped from the shore into the air, spreading his limbs to transform into a giant bomb, and crashed into the water, splashing up a huge spray.

"Cough, cough! Hughes, you bastard!" Because of Hughes, Gildarts was forced to drink a lot of water.

"Take this water balloon attack!"

Magic swirled in Gildarts's palm, drawing water from the lake towards it, and soon a water sphere the size of a human head formed in his hand.

Hughes was dumbfounded...

Shocking! Gildarts, Four Emperors, can use the Rasengan!

"Smack!"

A water balloon the size of a human head slammed into Hughes's face, but Hughes didn't even flinch. Instead, he stood with his hands on his hips and laughed.

"You still have a lot of practice to do, Gildarts!"

The next instant, Hughes pounded the lake surface with both hands like a pile driver, and the already turbulent lake began to form waves, causing the red-hot Gildarts to retreat continuously.

The waves kept coming, and soon they affected the rest of the guild...

Cough, cough!

"Damn it, who took off my swim trunks? Macao, I'll fucking kill you!"

"Wakaba, for insulting guild members, fined 50,000 J!"

Gray looked down, his body stiffening. "Natsu, have you seen my swim trunks?"

"Huh? Gray, did you wear clothes to the guild today?"

Gray:Σ(°△°|||)

Seeing everyone's intense bromance, Hughes, who was creating the waves, was also full of energy, waving his hands until they were smoking, and wave after wave surged forward...

Chaos erupted on the lake. The guild members split into two groups: one helping Gildarts fight back against Hughes, and the other also helping Gildarts fight back against Hughes...

Hughes: (╯°Д°)╯┻━┻

"Lisanna, Elfman, shouldn't you two be on my side?" Hughes, overwhelmed and at a disadvantage Hughes furious.

"Hughes, having two of us is no use to you. Instead of making us suffer, just let us go and let us have fun here!"

Enraged by Lisanna's "disrespectful remarks," Hughes rose in anger, then in anger again, and in anger...

"Hughes, stop resisting and surrender!" With the help of Macao, Wakaba, and others, Gildarts subdued Hughes underwater.

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

"Lisanna, you know Hughes, what is he saying?" Gildarts turned to ask.

"Hughes said Gildarts is trash, let's fight one-on-one!" Lisanna nodded seriously.

Gildarts's eyes lit up...

After Lisanna finished speaking, the bubbles rising from the water suddenly decreased, and Hughes, with strength he didn't know he came from, flipped Gildarts, Macao, and the others off him.

"Lisanna, did I just say that?"

Faced with the menacing Hughes, Lisanna raised her Happy Shield and instantly surrendered. "Hughes, I was wrong!"

"Ai!"

"Hughes, I will stand firmly by your side from now on!" Lisanna raised her hand and swore.

Seeing this, Hughes gave up and turned his gaze to Wakaba and the others who had just joined forces with Gildarts to deal with him.

Dealing with these Gildarts henchmen is the most urgent task.

Seeing that things were going wrong, Macao and Wakaba quickly grabbed Gildarts and pulled him to their sides.

"Hughes, we've captured Gildarts for you."

The two stood up straight, displaying a shameless "loyalty!" attitude that left Hughes speechless for a moment.

"Macao, Wakaba, you two are such opportunists."

"Gildarts, please forgive us. Discretion is the better part of valor." Macao and the other man, who were holding Gildarts, brought their legs together and saluted Hughes.

The two men, acting like sycophants, incited the crowd to anger; Reedus and Nab sneaked up behind them and forcefully covered their eyes.

"Beat them! Beat them all hard!"

Before the words were even finished, the Fairy Tail guild members, always eager for a good spectacle, swarmed forward...

"Damn it, I'm Nab, you're fighting Macao, not me!"

"Ouch, who touched my butt!"

"You're lucky, at least your butt got touched, I..."

The lake is in turmoil again... No, this lake has never been calm.

"Luckily I ran fast!" Gildarts exclaimed, standing next to Hughes.

Laxus looked completely bewildered, staring ahead at the crowded scene. How had Gildarts managed to slip out from there?

Hughes patted Laxus on the shoulder. "I saw it, Gildarts came out from between their legs!"

Gildarts, who successfully saved himself, humbly waved his hand, showing that those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles.

The three of them stood together like three towering mountains. Even though they were on the edge of the chaotic area, no one dared to provoke them.
