Bosco Kingdom.
In the original timeline...
In the near future, this place would be personally destroyed and turned into ruins by God Serena, who, for the sake of even greater power, betrayed the continent of Ishgar to join the Alvarez Empire of the West Continent Alakitasia and serve as one of the Spriggan 12.
However, under Medivh's intervention, the original history will absolutely not happen!
This place will prosper forever and exist as an ally of the Fiore Kingdom, the only permanently neutral country on the continent of Ishgar...
Well, that's how it should have been!
Until a group of S-Class Mage candidates from the Fairy Tail Guild arrived on this land to hold the X780 S-Class Mage Examination.
"The content of this year's S-Class Mage Examination is very simple!"
"The Bosco Kingdom is different from our Fiore Kingdom..."
"The Dark Magic Guilds in this region are as numerous as the hairs on an ox..."
"Now, I will give you half a month. Whoever eliminates the most Dark Magic Guilds will pass this year's S-Class Mage Examination."
Makarov spoke calmly, with his hands behind his back.
"Master, you haven't taken money from the Bosco Kingdom and sent us here specifically to clean up the Dark Magic Guilds for them, have you?!"
Upon hearing Makarov's words, Mirajane, Ultear, and the others narrowed their eyes tightly and questioned Makarov.
"You bastards!"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"Anyway, who asked you to make me the fourth guild master of Fairy Tail?!"
"My rules are the rules..."
"I'll conduct this S-Class Mage Examination however I want!"
Makarov was driven to exasperation by Mirajane and Ultear's questions, and he shouted at them huffily.
"He's flustered! He's flustered! He's getting defensive..."
In response, the Fairy Tail Mages all reached out to pick their ears, pretending they hadn't heard a thing and ignoring Makarov's roar.
"Anyway..."
"Let the competition begin!"
Makarov glanced at the time on his pocket watch and, seeing that it was about time, spoke accordingly.
"Move out!!"
At Makarov's command, the Fairy Tail members didn't hesitate for a second. Everyone sprinted toward the distant station, with only one goal in mind: they had to find the location of a Dark Magic Guild faster than anyone else.
"Master, now that Natsu and the others are gone, you should finally tell us the reason for gathering us examiners for this S-Class Mage Examination, shouldn't you?!"
After all the S-Class Mage candidates had left, Gildarts, Ur, and Laxus gathered around Makarov and asked him about the tasks they, as examiners, were supposed to perform during this S-Class Mage Examination.
"To tell you the truth..."
"The reason we came to the Bosco Kingdom is that I received a mission from Master Precht! It is said that the Black Magic Cult, which is notorious on the continent of Ishgar, is hidden within this country..."
"Therefore, on the surface, I'm letting the S-Class Mage candidates of Fairy Tail attract the attention of the enemies, making them let down their guard and think we're just here for an exam and will leave afterward. In reality, I need you to destroy the Black Magic Cult in secret."
Only after the rowdy group of S-Class Mage candidates had left did Makarov, with his hands behind his back, tell the truth to Gildarts, Ur, and Laxus.
"I will absolutely not allow those inhumane fellows to destroy this country!"
Immediately after, Makarov's expression turned stern, and he spoke with righteous indignation.
"No, no, no..."
"Master, compared to whatever that Black Magic Cult is! We feel that our Fairy Tail is the one causing even more destruction to this country!"
Gildarts, Ur, and Laxus thought silently to themselves.
Well, when it came to destructive power, if Fairy Tail claimed second place, no one could claim first.
"Anyway, I'll give you the information on the Black Magic Cult."
As Makarov spoke, he handed out copies of the information Precht had given him regarding the members of the so-called Black Magic Cult—who worshipped Zeref as their lifelong faith—to Gildarts, Ur, and Laxus.
"Now, I'll place my hopes on Mirajane and the others..."
Makarov said, looking toward the train station not far away.
BOOM!!
Only a deafening roar was heard!
Half of the train station was blown into the sky right before the eyes of Makarov and the others.
"What happened?!"
"Did terrorists attack the train station?!"
"No! It's much more terrifying than that..."
"It's said that members of that famous Magician Guild from next door that ravages our neighbor, the Fiore Kingdom—Fairy Tail—have come to our Bosco Kingdom!"
"What? Then aren't we doomed?"
"What does the Magic Council have to say about this?"
"The Magic Council said they can't handle it either..."
Just as Makarov was looking at the distant explosion with a dazed expression, countless passersby hurried past them, chattering loudly.
"When you take action from now on, try not to reveal our identity..."
"The name of our Fairy Tail Guild is already loud enough in this country and on this continent."
Seeing this, Makarov couldn't help but remind Ur, Laxus, and Gildarts behind him.
As for Mirajane, Ultear, and Natsu, who were furiously dismantling the train station not far away, Makarov decided to temporarily revoke their membership in the Fairy Tail Guild.
If someone tried to sue Fairy Tail over this, Makarov was prepared to be thick-skinned and deny everything...
And so!
Amidst the sound of explosions...
Fairy Tail's journey to subjugate the Dark Magic Guilds...
...began in a frantic manner!
Meanwhile, in a stronghold of the Black Magic Cult.
"Hey, everyone, things have gone south..."
"That Magician Guild that ravages the Fiore Kingdom, Fairy Tail, officially invaded our territory around ten o'clock this morning!"
In the dark forest, a man with an incredibly panicked expression burst into the gloomy stronghold and shouted toward the high-level executives who were meeting in the main conference room to discuss the future development and prospects of the Black Magic Cult.
"What?!"
As the man's words fell...
The expressions of all the high-level executives of the Black Magic Cult changed. "Could it be that this Fairy Tail Guild is here to subjugate us?!"
A high-level executive of the Black Magic Cult asked, looking at the man who had burst into the conference room.
"No!"
"Those Mages from the Fairy Tail Guild are here to steal our thunder."
"The train station that we originally planned to blow up, which could be called the hub of the Bosco Kingdom, has already been blown up in advance by those Mages from Fairy Tail..."
"Now the headlines in the Bosco Kingdom newspapers are all about Fairy Tail. No one is paying attention to our Black Magic Cult anymore!"
"Now, ever since the continent's strongest Dark Magic Guild, Grimoire Heart, disbanded, those dark rats hiding in the underworld with nothing to do are all planning to go to the Fiore Kingdom to join Fairy Tail. Our status is being questioned by them..."
