Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

Secondly, Laxus, this guy definitely has the potential to be one of the Ten Wizard Saints, and possibly even more.

[Then, the recently joined guild member, Miston, is also very strong; his future is limitless.]

[Honaz, a monster among monsters. Makarov even suspects that this guy can now rival the Ten Wizard Saints.]

[Because, as of now, Makarov doesn't know anyone who can force Henna to use a second move!]

Then there are Erza and Mirajane, whom Honez brought back this time.

These two are also potential members of the Ten Wizard Saints.

[How prosperous! Makarov could almost foresee just how powerful Fairy Tail would become in the near future.]

Looking at Erza and Mirajane before him, Makarov's old face crinkled with laughter.

[That sight made Mirajane and Erza both instinctively take a step back and hide behind Honez.]

"Is this really the guild leader? Why is he so sleazy?"

[The straightforward Erza looked at Hacknatsu with a puzzled expression.]

Makarov's smiling face suddenly fell.

This is the first time someone has ever described me as sleazy. It hurts, I want to cry...

Finally, at Makarov's impatient urging, the Fairy Tail crest was inscribed on Erza, Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman.

[Thus, Fairy Tail welcomed even more new members.]

A welcome banquet then commenced.

Everyone was very happy that night, and many people got completely drunk.

That same night, Laxus also returned to the guild.

The same scenario is playing out once again.

After a year of rigorous training, Laxus once again lured Black Natsu to the beach behind the guild.

Facing the vast ocean, Laxus's confidence swelled to unprecedented heights.

"Hey! Tomorrow's the S-rank assessment, and this time, I'm absolutely going to beat you!"

【"absolute!!!"】

Under the starry sky, Laxus's sharp eyes were fixed intently on Black Natsu.

His words were filled with strong self-confidence.

[Hennaz also responded to this.]

"Let's go then, if..."

"If you can do it!"

Chapter 122 The Spotlight: The S-Rank Upgrade Assessment!

The day has come.

Mirajane, Erza, and the others who recently joined the guild have settled in.

This marks the official start of my Fairy Tail life.

Furthermore, at last night's banquet, they also got to know many members of the Fairy Tail guild.

[Among them is Gray.]

Yes, the feedback remains remarkably consistent.

"Are there even freaks in this guild?"

Erza, bewildered, spoke up.

In an instant, the guild burst into laughter.

Outside the canopy, Gray was speechless with frustration.

Uru, however, was quite interested: "Speaking of which, Gray, all these years of growing up with the title of 'pervert' must have been tough for you."

Gray: "I don't want to talk right now, especially not with you, Uru..."

"Would things have turned out like this if it weren't for you?"

Ultear: "You can't blame your mother for this."

"Look at Leon next door. We're fellow disciples, using the same cultivation methods, so why doesn't he have the habit of taking off his clothes anywhere?"

Natsu: "Yeah! Leon doesn't seem to have that habit."

Harpy: "Could it be..."

Gajeel: "Gray was born a pervert??"

Kana: "Eh~~ I'll move away a bit first."

Gray: "Huh?? That's not how it is, let me explain."

Xia Lulu: "There's nothing to explain, let's watch the movie."

Wendy: "Hey, Charlotte, could you move over a bit? Greg is right next to me, I'm just moving."

Gray: "Wendy...you...even you..."

The Fairy Tail guild seems unusually lively today.

People who usually work away from home all chose to return to the guild on the 10th.

The bewildered newlyweds looked completely confused.

Whenever I asked someone, the answer was always a mysterious smile and the reply, "You'll find out soon enough."

This answer almost drove Erza and Mirajane's ilk crazy.

However, they had no choice but to join the crowd and gather in front of the guild's main screen, waiting quietly.

[Not much time has passed.]

The closed curtain was slowly drawn back.

The entire stage was now visible.

Above, only two mages stand here at this moment.

[Makarov, and Kyldas!]

Today, Makarov is a far cry from his usual sleazy old man image.

The Ten Holy Trinity garments, kept hidden away, were neatly worn on his body.

His wrinkled face was serious, his gaze sharp.

This appearance completely overturned Miraj and the others' impression of Makarov.

This old man... seems to actually have some skill?

The moment Makarov revealed himself, the entire guild erupted in cheers.

"Quiet down, you brats!"

An aged voice came from above the stage.

The previously lively guild fell silent in an instant.

Makarov's gaze, sharp as a sword, swept swiftly across the entire room, followed by two light coughs.

"Ahem, everyone, please wait a bit."

"Haha, hurry up and announce it, President!"

"I've been looking forward to this year's assessment for a long time."

"Who will be on the list? I wonder if I'll make it?"

"You? Forget it. You can't even compare to me, and you still want to participate in the S-class mage exam?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Even if I'm terrible, I'm still good enough to beat you."

Discussions and murmurs rose and fell.

The newly joined guild members gathered together at this moment.

"The S-Class Mage Assessment?"

Mirajane frowned slightly.

"Wow, that's cool! I just found out, and apparently there's only one S-rank mage in the guild right now."

Lisanna continued.

"It's said that those are titles only the strongest of the strong can have," Elfman said with envy.

"An S-class mage? I'm starting to get excited. Will my name be on the list?"

Erza stroked her chin, deep in thought.

"Your name? You're dreaming. It would be more like it has my name on it."
