Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 307 Official Reorganization (Please Subscribe!)
"Regarding the selection of these six councilors, please submit your suggestions or nominations. We will then vote to select the candidates with the most votes."

After being elected speaker, Guran Doma did not become arrogant; he still made the election of the six councilors public.

But in Guran Doma's heart, he was very unhappy, because according to normal procedures and under normal circumstances, these were all matters for their "Council" to handle, including the election of members, which were all resolved internally by their "Council" and did not need to relinquish power as they were doing now.

Of course, despite his displeasure, Gulan Doma still had to deal with the situation as it was.

After this scandal, the election of councilors must be handed over to everyone. Only in this way can we gain everyone's trust and formally form this "review committee".

Once they begin operating officially, these powers will naturally no longer be shared; they will become the power of their "Magic Council." In the end, he is still dealing with the mess left by his predecessor, and it will take him a long time to do so.

"I have some ideas. Perhaps the Ten Wizard Saints could take on this role concurrently."

Moen made a suggestion, which he thought was a very good choice. The Ten Wizard Saints were powerful and knowledgeable, and would not be easily fooled by some tricks. They could provide stable support for the Magic Council.

"."

Upon hearing Moen's advice, Gulan Dorma's lips twitched.

The "Ten Wizard Saints" hold a transcendent position throughout the entire continent of Ishgar, far surpassing that of ordinary mages. If they were to enter the "Government Council," what would be the point of his position as chairman? He might as well just abdicate and hand over the reins to a more capable person.

The "Ten Wizards" that Moen mentioned are definitely different from "Zek Rein". A large part of the reason why "Zek Rein" was able to become one of the "Ten Wizards" was because of his "pure and upright" identity. He was one of the people in the "Magic Council" and had the support of councilors led by Og and Mikael.

The reason why Og and Michelo support "Zek Rein" is because "Zek Rein's" rival is Moen.

They didn't want Fairy Tail's reputation to be too great, so they deliberately suppressed it, determined not to let Moen become one of the "Ten Wizard Saints".

In short, Zeke Rein's status as one of the "Ten Wizard Saints" is not very high in the public eye for various reasons. He is a "custom-made Ten Wizard Saint" who is completely dependent on the "Magic Council" and his reputation is incomparable to that of other "Ten Wizard Saints".

Moen's existence caused Zeke Rein a lot of headaches; without Moen, he wouldn't have faced so much criticism.

The remaining "Ten Wizards" are mostly veterans, and they naturally have a firm grip on reputation and connections. Gran Doma didn't even dare to imagine what kind of suppression he would be subjected to after those "Ten Wizards" entered the council.

"This is inappropriate."

Without hesitation, Gulan Doma directly refused.

It wasn't just Gran Dorma; quite a few people chose to refuse this time because two of the five existing "Ten Wizard Saints" were from Fairy Tail: one was Makarov, the guild master, and the other was Warold Shinken, one of the guild's founders.

If Joseph Bora, the vanguard of the "anti-Fairy Tail" movement, were still alive, and if Zeke Rein, representing the "Magic Council," were still alive, this suggestion might have been adopted.

Because some of the "Ten Wizard Saints" are capable of competing with "Fairy Tail," but now, this suggestion is unlikely to be approved because "Fairy Tail" has too much content.

"These trivial matters of the Magic Council are not worth bothering the highly respected Ten Wizard Saints to come out of seclusion for the time being."

Guran Dorma rejected the suggestion decisively, refusing to adopt it, and he was willing to pay the price for it.

"Then there's nothing I can do."

Moen shrugged, a little bear. He hadn't really thought much about recommending the "Ten Wizards" as councilors this time; he just felt that the "Magic Council" needed security, and the "Ten Wizards" were obviously qualified and strong enough.

They've already infiltrated the Magic Council right under our noses, and they still don't pay attention to this. If Jellal and Ultear had suddenly launched an attack, they might have wiped them all out!

"Actually, I'm not very willing to take on this role as a legislator."

Makarov muttered to himself, "As one of the Ten Wizard Saints, I don't want to be a council member. There's just too much to do. I'm practically a hands-off manager in my own guild, so how could I possibly want to be a council member?"

"."

When his well-intentioned advice was not adopted, Moen was too lazy to say anything more. He simply shut his mouth and watched as Og, Belluno, and Reggie began to recommend people from within the "Magic Council" to serve as councilors.

The Mage Guild has also nominated a councilor, Jura Regis, the "Rock Iron" from the "Snake Scale" faction.

Most mages are not interested in this position because they believe that this so-called "senator" restricts their freedom too much.

Not only do they have to stay in the "Magic Council" every day to deal with various issues, but they also have very few holidays. Although they have a fixed salary, this is a real job, unlike their usual work where they can work sporadically as long as they have money in their hands.

In any case, the allure of this "senator" was extremely low for the mages of "Fairy Tail," so Makarov and Moen didn't recommend him at all.

Jura Regis, nicknamed "Rock Iron," was willing to become a councilor, which surprised many people. After all, he was quite strong, and it was said that the old woman Oba Barbasoma of "Snake Scale" was pushing him to become one of the "Ten Wizard Saints." Why would he be so foolish as to become a councilor of the Magic Council?
"This is a responsible person."

Moen offered his opinion: It's not that being a "senator" is bad, but compared to being a free and easy mage, this position is too tiring, too responsible, and involves too much burden. Those who want to do it are not qualified, and those who are qualified have better options.

If a powerful person is willing to serve as a "senator," it means that he has a strong sense of responsibility, is willing to work hard for the peace of the "Ishgar Continent," and is willing to be busy maintaining order.

"Perhaps it's to better obtain the title of one of the Ten Wizard Saints."

As Makarov spoke, he glanced at Obha Barbasoma, who was fanning herself with a fan. The old woman had a smug look on her face, seemingly pleased that "Iron Rock" Jura Rekis was willing to serve as a member of parliament.

Obah Barbasoma was indeed very satisfied. Jura Regis's willingness to serve as a "councilor" would greatly increase the popularity of "Boa Pantheon". Even if they couldn't surpass the leader "Fairy Tail", "Boa Pantheon" would still be the second-best and crush all other magic guilds under their feet!

"Alright, that concludes this meeting."

After all six seats for the councilors were filled, Guran Doma decisively announced the end of the meeting.

"This conference was a success, a hopeful one, and one that will bring new life to the Magic Council. Now that I have assumed the chairmanship, I will do my utmost to bring the Magic Council back on track and will never let everyone down." Finally, Gran Doma gave a summary of the meeting, exuding a youthful exuberance, seemingly eager to make his mark and achieve great things.

"I don't know if it's good or bad."

Whether Gran Doma could succeed and make the Magic Council great again was something Moen was skeptical about, but one thing was certain: Gran Doma would not sit idly by and wait for its demise, but would choose to take the initiative.

"I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing."

This is a positive attitude that Moen appreciates.

However, for the Magic Council, there is another possibility: the patching up might have provided a few more years of stability, but Gran Doma's rampage could have hastened the Magic Council's demise.

"Not necessarily. The foundation is there, and Gulan Doma has very few constraints. Most of the people selected will cooperate with him."

As he walked out, Makarov said that the members of the "Magic Council" who were pushed up were basically all acquaintances of Gran Doma. This "Council" would definitely be firmly united around Gran Doma to carry out his will.

"I hope he can do a better job."

Moen nodded and stopped talking about it. Since they had chosen to believe in the "radical reformer" Guran Dorma, they would let him do as he pleased. In any case, nothing could be worse than two enemies infiltrating the "Council".

"Yajma, where are you going? Back to Magnolia?"

Stopping the conversation about the "Magic Council," Makarov turned his gaze to Yajima beside him, whose old friend looked quite relaxed.

Yajima is now truly free of worries and looks incredibly happy in his official retirement. In fact, he had long been tired of the life of a "politician"—too tiring and too much to worry about, especially since he had to constantly defend "Fairy Tail," which was too demanding and almost wore the old man out.

"Yes, I'm going back to Magnolia. I'm planning to start my own small business."

Yajima said with a smile that although he had retired, he was not really staying at home doing nothing all day. He wanted to open a store, a magic-themed bar, which was a dream he had always wanted to realize.

"Great! Go ahead and drive! I'll definitely come every day!"

Makarov said happily that he was naturally very happy that his old friend was willing to return to "Magnolia," and he was even happier that his old friend was opening a bar, so he would have another place to drink.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't charge you, haha."

Yajima shook his head and smiled. When he was a member of parliament, he was always frowning. Now that he has successfully retired, he smiles more often. It can only be said that being a "member of parliament" really shortens one's lifespan. Let whoever wants to do it do it. He doesn't care about that little bit of power.

"President, Moen, Mr. Yajima, I would like to see Gerald."

Erza, who had been walking beside Moen the whole time, suddenly spoke up, breaking the cheerful atmosphere, and all three of them turned to look at her.

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

Without hesitation, Moen immediately agreed to the request. He knew Erza would definitely want to see him, since Gerald seemed to have truly returned to normal.

"Okay, you two go ahead, Yajima and I will find a place to have a drink."

Makarov nodded and left with Yajima. He didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation, believing that Moen could handle it.

"Let's go."

Seeing the two old men leave, Moen beckoned Erza to come with him. He had even asked about the location where Jellal was being held beforehand, just waiting for Erza to make the request.

"Is it really a bad idea to go see him now?"

As Erza walked along the road, she hesitated again. Moen's words had been taking root in her mind, and seeing these old friends might be torture for Jellal.

As a friend, Erza wanted to encourage Jellal to reform himself in prison and live a fulfilling life fifteen years later. She didn't want to inadvertently upset him and make him even more unstable.

"It largely depends on his own mindset."

Moen shrugged. What he didn't say was that he was the one who shouldn't have gone. Seeing Erza standing next to him, and Erza's obvious dependence on him, might really upset Jellal.

Erza clearly doesn't really realize this; her feelings for Jellal right now are just concern between friends.

These days, the complex emotions of vulnerability and tension in her heart have made her unconsciously rely more and more on Moen, who has always stood by her side to protect and support her. She sometimes feels a little embarrassed, but she does not reject it in her heart.

Lost in thought, Moen and Erza arrived at the cell. The guards did not stop them and, after registering them, allowed them into the dungeon.

Gerald was put in solitary confinement in a cell. He slumped against the wall, staring at the ground with his eyes wide open.

Gerald, how are you feeling right now?

Before Erza could speak, Moen asked a question first, as he wasn't sure if Jellal was mentally sound.

Jellal raised his head and looked at Moen with lifeless eyes, as well as Erza, who was standing very close to Moen.

"."

Gerald paused for a moment, then lowered his head and slowly began to speak:
Thank you.
