Gildarts' Magic burst forth from his entire body, and the cape behind him flapped wildly.
Magic condensed on his arm, and he swung towards Gar in a simple and brutal manner.
Gar also channeled Magic to his right arm, raising his fist to meet Gildarts' fist.
Boom—!
A huge Tackle sound rang out.
The people in the Guild hall couldn't help but cover their ears.
Under Gildarts' immense strength, Gar's feet slid backward on the ground, sliding all the way to the square outside the Guild:
"Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to demolish the Guild?"
Gildarts gritted his teeth and said:
"Even if I demolish it today, I'm going to beat you up!"
Gar, however, sneered:
"I'm just afraid you don't have the ability!"
Gildarts smirked, moved his hands, and they made a crisp 'crack, crack' sound:
"Although compared to a while ago, your aura is indeed a bit stronger."
"But now is not the time to boast."
"Are you ready to be punished by me? Gar."
The corner of Gar's mouth curled slightly, and his tone was faint:
"Oh?"
"Then I'll just stand here today."
"If you can make me take a step back, consider it my loss."
Saying that, Gar lowered his hands.
He just stood there, watching Gildarts with a half-smile.
Gildarts frowned, looking at Gar in surprise.
He didn't understand where Gar got his confidence.
The Guild members who ran out behind him also looked at Gar with uncertainty.
What's going on?
Has Gar already become this strong?
He can stand still and make Gildarts helpless?
Hiss—
That's Gildarts!
How is that possible?!
But Gildarts wasn't someone who was afraid of trouble. Even if Gar had some trump card, he still believed in his own Magic.
His title as the strongest Magician in the West wasn't bought with money; it was earned through continuous battles over twenty years.
Gildarts looked at Gar, then without any hesitation.
The Magic around his body erupted. The Guild members behind him only saw a blurry afterimage before seeing Gildarts rush in front of Gar, raising his arm to strike down.
Boom—!!!
The ground in front of Gar was smashed into a large pit by Magic.
But it wasn't Gar who did it.
It was caused by Gildarts' sudden stop, gritting his teeth.
Gildarts held up his fist, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood, looked at the person in front of him, and said through gritted teeth:
"This is your confidence?"
"You brat...."
Gildarts' expression changed.
He gritted his teeth several times, wanting to smash down, but just couldn't bring himself to do it. His changing expression finally turned into helplessness, and he sighed and lowered his hand.
He immediately turned his head to look at Cana and pointed at Gar, accusing loudly:
"Cana! Do you see?!"
"That despicable brat Gar actually turned into you to force me to stop!"
"I told you he was the most despicable!"
"Now you see!"
"You need to stay away from him in the future!!!"
However.
The Guild members, however, looked at Gildarts in confusion, watching him stop in front of Gar with his fist raised, then gesticulate wildly while calling Gar despicable.
Looking at the confused expressions of the Guild members, they had no idea what had just happened.
Or rather....
Nothing happened?
Seeing how everyone looked, Gildarts instantly realized.
What Gar used wasn't transformation Magic.
It was that guy Ivan's Illusion Magic.
In his eyes, Gar looked like Cana, but in their eyes, Gar still looked like himself.
Since that was the case....
Gildarts' eyes turned fierce again, and he turned to look at Gar.
But as soon as he saw Gar now looking like Cana, he instantly gave up.
As expected, he still couldn't bring himself to do it....
Gildarts couldn't help but sigh, his face full of helplessness:
"Alright."
"Undo the Magic."
"You win."
Gar chuckled and dispelled the Illusion Magic.
Everyone watched in confusion as the two walked over.
What exactly happened just now? They didn't even blink, did they miss something?
It's over just like that?
Everyone was puzzled. Gildarts and Gar didn't explain either, and everyone returned inside.
As Gar passed the door, he raised his hand and pointed at the ground.
The door fragments, which had been Crushed into countless small pieces by the impact of Magic, quickly gathered and re-formed into a door, leaning against the wall.
Inside the Guild hall, it became noisy again.
Gildarts returned to Cana's side, looking like a bad guy to everyone, which made Cana couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Just as Gar came in, Makarov came over with Laxus:
"I'll trouble you in a few days, Gar."
Gar shook his head and said:
"You're too kind, Guild Master."
"It's just a small matter."
Laxus looked at Gar with a hint of admiration:
"Gar."
Gar smiled and 'mm-hmm'd, nodding.
Then he looked at Makarov and asked:
"Where is Mr. Ivan?"
Makarov said:
"It will take about half a month."
"He will be able to land at the southern port of Fioore Kingdom."
"Oh right, there's also this."
Saying that, Makarov took out a memory magic crystal and handed it to Gar:
"These are the steps for the transplant surgery."
"Porlyusica asked me to give it to you."
Speaking of this, a look of helplessness appeared on Makarov's face.
Porlyusica refused to personally perform the magic crystal transplant on his grandson, only throwing out a memory magic crystal.
She told him to give it to Gar, saying Gar could handle it, and then kicked him out.
Gar nodded after hearing that.
After all, Porlyusica was Grandeeney from Edolas.
Asking her to transplant a magic crystal made from a Dragon's heart into a human? If they weren't friends of several decades, Porlyusica wouldn't have just kicked Makarov out so simply.
Gar checked the contents of the memory magic crystal:
"No problem."
"Has Laxus' body been checked?"
Bringing this up, Makarov said:
"Porlyusica checked it."
"The transplant can be done anytime."
Seeing this, Gar raised his hand and placed it on Laxus' shoulder, sensed slightly, and said to Laxus:
"Almost."
"There's still some time before your father returns."
"It's best to practice with the Magic potion."
"Because after the magic crystal is amplified."
"The pressure on your body will also increase, so the stronger your physical fitness, the better."
"How many times it will be amplified specifically will depend on when the magic crystal is brought back and checked."
"However, a normal two-fold amplification should not be a problem."
"The upper limit is still to be determined."
