Chương 66: Chapter 66 : End of Matter!
Fairy Tail is more than just a guild for Makarov; it's his home, his sanctuary, a bond deeper than any other within the guild's walls. From the moment he took his first breath eighty-eight years ago, Makarov's life has been intertwined with Fairy Tail.
Through the highs and lows, from a humble member to the esteemed Guild Master, Fairy Tail has not only shaped him but also countless other mages who found solace and purpose within its embrace.
But now, faced with the heavy hand of the law and the looming threat of dissolution, Makarov's patience wears thin. "Eight years for Kyros and a year for myself, with Fairy Tail dismantled? Absurd!"
His voice reverberates with righteous indignation, shaking the very ground beneath their feet.
"We've had our share of missteps, but we've also shouldered our responsibilities," Makarov asserts, his words laden with frustration. "This verdict reeks of injustice, and I refuse to accept it!"
As his anger boils over, Makarov's magic surges, transforming him into a towering colossus. The sheer magnitude of his power dwarfs the assembled members of the Magic Council, who can only watch in horror as their once-respected leader turns against them.
"Shall we tear down the Magic Council together?" The proposition hangs heavy in the air, thick with tension and desperation. For the first time, the councilors find themselves at the mercy of a force they cannot hope to contain.
But amidst the chaos, Yajima, ever the voice of reason, attempts to quell Makarov's fury. "Steady, old friend," he implores, his tone soothing yet urgent. "Let's not act in haste. Kyros may have caused chaos, but destroying the Magic Council won't right the wrongs."
Makarov pauses, his eyes scanning the devastation around them. It dawns on him—the ruins surrounding them are not the remnants of some forgotten battleground but the once-proud headquarters of the Magic Council itself.
The realization hits him like a thunderbolt. "This... this was Kyros's doing?" he murmurs incredulously, disbelief mingling with a newfound respect for the young mage's power.
In the span of a year, Kyros's strength has grown exponentially, leaving destruction in his wake and challenging the very foundations of their world.
"Hmph! They brought this upon themselves." At this moment, cowardice is not an option; otherwise, there will be no way to make amends.
Yajima urged, "Alright, Makarov, Kyros, it's true that the Magic Council made a mistake here, but you both have also been wrong destroying the building. It's time to let go of this grudge."
"Out of respect for our longstanding friendship, let's drop the matter."
"The blame lies with the higher-ups in the Magic Council; the rest are just following orders."
Upon hearing Yajima's words, Makarov slowly reverted to his original size. "Very well, Yajima. I'll let it slide this time, but the Magic Council owes me an explanation."
Several Magic Council members remained silent. They had nothing to say. The state of the Magic Council was indefensible.
They had never felt so aggrieved before. The Magic Council was meant to be the pinnacle of justice in Ishgar Continent, yet now they were overstepping their bounds, leaving them no choice but to yield.
Makarov continued, "If an explanation is not provided, I'll bring this matter to the attention of the local guild alliance and the Ten Wizard Saints Conference."
At the mention of the local guild alliance and the Ten Wizard Saints Conference, the expressions of the magic judges changed.
If it were solely the Fairy Tail Guild involved, the impact would be minimal. But escalating it to the local guild alliance and the Ten Wizard Saints Conference would have far-reaching consequences.
Especially since Fairy Tail had recently saved the leaders of the local guilds. Even the Magic Council had to consider the repercussions. Clearly, their judgment had been rash.
"Come on, lad, let's head back to the guild."
Makarov and Kyros departed from the Magic Council together, encountering no opposition—no one dared, and no one could.
Once outside, Makarov whispered to Kyros, "You've caused quite a stir this time, young man! The Magic Council is in disarray."
Kyros replied, "Don't worry, I just gave them a taste of their own medicine. No one was seriously injured, let alone killed. It's a small lesson for those fools. They needed to be humbled. Let them understand what it's like to be on the receiving end."
Though irritating, they hadn't truly harmed Kyros or Fairy Tail.
Furthermore, as Yajima had pointed out, most members of the Magic Council were fundamentally decent individuals with a sense of justice, albeit lacking in strength.
Kyros's intention was simply to teach them a lesson, to remind them of their place.
He prided himself on being a law-abiding young man, but he couldn't tolerate being looked down upon by such a group of weaklings.
Makarov grumbled, "Where do you think you're sneaking off to, you troublesome brat! What would you have done if I hadn't shown up just now?"
Kyros retorted, "I would've split the mountain first, then given those council members a good thrashing in front of everyone, and then made my exit."
Upon hearing Kyros's words, Makarov felt a twinge of apprehension. He pondered to himself, "If this kid really went through with it and laid a hand on those guys, the Magic Council and the rest would be in serious trouble."
Meanwhile, outside the Magic Council headquarters...
"And... what happened next?" Ultear's eyes betrayed a hint of fear.
Not long ago, on Galuna Island, she had narrowly escaped Kyros's clutches, and the mere thought of him sent shivers down her spine.
Witnessing Kyros effortlessly incapacitate tens of thousands of wizards with a single move was truly awe-inspiring.
"It's nothing major, just an extremely wide-ranging mental shock spell, but its effects are limited. As long as the magical force doesn't exceed a certain threshold, you won't lose consciousness."
"But I may have underestimated this fellow. Could there truly be someone so formidable within Fairy Tail?" Jellal's gaze flickered with a touch of anticipation.
