Selene: Medivh, have you seen your son Kurnugi? Medivh: Huh? I have a son?
One week after Jose and Crawford joined Tartaros.
The S-Class Mage Examination of the Fairy Tail Guild officially concluded.
However, Makarov and the others did not return to the Fiore Kingdom, to the Fairy Tail Guild in Magnolia Town. Instead, they went directly to the capital of the Bosco Kingdom.
Inside the royal palace of the Bosco Kingdom.
The white-haired King of Bosco sat on his throne, flanked by a group of constantly trembling kingdom knights.
"We are truly sorry!"
"It was not our intention to bring such disaster upon this country."
"Although we are truly sorry about the money, we do have an obligation to complete the reconstruction of the Bosco Kingdom. I will not shirk this responsibility…"
Below the throne, Makarov, the current Master of the Magic Guild Fairy Tail, was leading Gildarts, Ur, and Laxus—three active S-Class Mages…
…as well as Mirajane and Elfman, Ultear and Laki, Natsu and Happy, Gray and Juvia, Freed and Bickslow, Mystogan and Gajeel, Cana and Erik, continuously apologizing to the King and the kingdom knights.
"No, you are not wrong!"
"I am the one who should apologize to you."
"It was I who easily believed the words of our neighboring country, King Old Toma of the Fiore Kingdom, and Precht, the chairman of the Magic Council, and brought you scoundrels into my territory to deal with the Black Magic Cult…"
"Now I only ask one thing of you, please put away your magic and go back!"
The King of the Bosco Kingdom looked incredibly haggard. In his eyes, as he looked at Makarov and the others, there was only infinite despair. He should never have believed that scoundrel Old Toma's words.
Now that he thought about it, how could that cunning old man genuinely intend to help him?!
"How about this!"
"Ultear, you stay here and help the King of Bosco restore the buildings in this country that we destroyed…"
Makarov, after all, cared about his reputation and public opinion. He first took out a tissue, gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then softly spoke to Ultear behind him.
"Huh? Me?!"
Ultear looked at Makarov with a bewildered expression upon hearing this.
"I will let you pass this year's S-Class Mage Examination!"
In response, Makarov blinked and whispered.
"That's not impossible."
Ultear immediately changed her tune upon hearing this.
"Wait a minute…"
"Master, I cannot pretend I didn't hear what you just said!"
"According to the rules, I am the one who passed."
However, while Ultear agreed, Mirajane was not having it.
According to the S-Class Mage Examination rules set by Makarov this year, she was the one who should have passed the S-Class Mage Examination.
"This…"
Makarov hesitated upon hearing this.
Hmm, what Mirajane said also made sense.
"How about this!"
"Ultear, don't decline either…"
"Let's just have a fight right here. The winner will be the one who passes this year's S-Class Mage Examination. What do you think?!"
Mirajane said, looking at Ultear beside her, eager to fight.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
Upon hearing this, Ultear lightly rotated her neck, producing 'crunch, crunch' sounds, then unleashed a massive amount of magic power that made the entire palace rumble.
"Heh heh…"
Mirajane, not to be outdone, also released an infinite amount of magic power.
"Zzzzzz…"
For a moment, Mirajane and Ultear's magic power collided, causing the entire Bosco Royal Palace to shake violently…
All the citizens in the entire capital felt a suffocating aura, as if some great disaster was about to occur?!
"Stop! You two, stop it…"
The King of Bosco's face turned pale at this sight. He knew that nothing good would come of these Fairy Tail Guild Mages entering his palace.
"Mirajane, Ultear, you two stop fighting."
Makarov's face also paled a bit at this. The current strength of Mirajane and Ultear had already reached the level of Jura during the Grand Magic Games, which was the level of the original 'Ten Wizard Saints' fifth-ranked. If the two of them fought here, the entire palace, and even the capital, would be destroyed.
"No!"
"We must determine a winner today!"
Unfortunately, Makarov's words could not persuade Mirajane and Ultear to stop. They glared at each other, still unleashing surging and powerful magic power.
"You win…"
"This year's S-Class Mage Examination, both of you pass. How about that?!"
In response, Makarov finally compromised.
"Oh, Master, you should have said so earlier~"
"Exactly, exactly…"
"We listen to Master the most~"
As Makarov's words fell…
Mirajane and Ultear both withdrew their magic power. They stood hand in hand, like the best of sisters in the world.
"I always feel like I've been tricked."
Makarov looked at the close Mirajane and Ultear, unable to help but complain.
"Master, where are your principles?!"
In response, the other S-Class Mage candidates in the guild loudly questioned Makarov.
"Shut up, I am the Master, and my words are principles."
Makarov said with great firmness upon hearing this.
Hmm, with Gildarts, Ur, and Laxus, along with Mirajane and Ultear, on his side, his words were indeed principles.
"Old man, if you put it that way, I'll have to make a fuss with Gray and the others too."
"I hope you can also allow us to pass this year's S-Class Mage Examination! After all, you don't want to see us tear down this palace, do you?!"
The clever Natsu seemed to have realized something, and he spoke with a chuckle.
"Boom!"
Just as Natsu's words fell, Makarov's iron fist had already descended from the sky, smashing half of the palace along with Natsu into the ground.
"Now, are you still going to make a fuss?!"
Makarov asked, looking at Natsu, whom he had instantly defeated.
"Uh…"
"No more fuss, no more fuss…"
As Makarov instantly defeated Natsu…
The restless S-Class candidates immediately quieted down.
Hmm, the reason Makarov allowed Mirajane and Ultear to exceptionally pass this year's S-Class Mage Examination…
The premise was that their strength was indeed sufficient; they had both reached Makarov's psychological expectation for Fairy Tail Guild S-Class Mages.
Especially now that Mirajane had absorbed the Soul of Battle God, and Ultear had completely mastered the Second Origin. With Mirajane and Ultear's talent, it was only a matter of time before they reached the 'Heavenly King' level!
However, Natsu, Gray, Freed, and others were still too immature.
When these guys' strength touches the threshold of the 'Heavenly King' level, that will be the time for them to pass the Fairy Tail Guild S-Class Mage Examination.
"My palace."
"You scoundrels of the Magic Guild Fairy Tail!"
"From today onwards, no Fairy Tail Mage is allowed to enter my kingdom." However, as Fairy Tail's S-Class Mage Examination concluded successfully this year, only the King of the Bosco Kingdom, sitting high on his throne, shed tears of immense pain.
Hmm, you said you wouldn't destroy my palace, right?! As it turns out, your guild members didn't destroy my palace; you personally destroyed it!
For a moment, a world where only the King of the Bosco Kingdom was hurt came into being.
At the same time, on the other side.
West Continent Alakitasia…
The Alvarez Empire, the strongest nation in the Earth-land World.
Since Neinhart voluntarily withdrew from the Spriggan 12…
Medivh, as the Emperor, had been working on forming a new Spriggan 12.
The current members of the new Spriggan 12 are…
'Scarlet Despair' Irene Belserion, 'Magic King' August, 'Moon God Dragon' Selene, 'Law Dragon' Elefseria, as well as 'Dark Mage' Zeref, 'White Priest' Larcade, 'Assassin' Jacob Lessio, 'Judge' Wahl Icht, 'Death God' Bradman, and 'Winter General' Invel Yura—a total of ten individuals.
Indeed, Medivh, by himself, elevated the ranks of the original Spriggan 12 by more than just one level! According to Medivh, the Alvarez Empire he established was fully prepared for a decisive battle against the Five Dragon Gods of the North Continent Giltena.
If we're going to fight, let's fight five at once.
At the same time, after successfully assuming the role of Emperor, Medivh convened the active Spriggan 12 for the first Imperial Meeting, which he fully presided over.
"West Continent Alakitasia, I won't say much..."
"It has been completely pacified by our Alvarez Empire."
"But our influence on the North Continent Giltena and the South Continent Ishgar is very limited!"
"So, based on your understanding of these two continents, how many forces can we still win over to join us from these two continents?!"
Medivh sat on his high throne, flanked by Eileen and Selene, two stunning beauties. Below him sat Elefseria, Zeref, and the other members of the Spriggan 12...
As for 'Magic King' August, he was currently babysitting for Medivh and had no time to attend this meeting.
