Chapter 510 The Raven's Tail Used as a Speed Bump
"Seriously, aren't you guys a bit too crazy? Going to war with tens of thousands of dragons!"
"I thought the Grand Magic Games were just a magical festival held by the royal family, but I never imagined it was hiding a conspiracy like the Eclipse Project!"
"Hey Gray, how was it fighting the dragon? Wasn't it super exciting?"
Mentioning the Dragon King Festival immediately stirred up the group of members who stayed behind. Some were amazed by the truth behind the Grand Magic Games, some were impressed by Chase's audacity, and others were extremely interested in the creature "dragon".
Gray, Elfman, Levy, and the others answered all their questions without reservation, and also inquired about the situation here over the past two years.
The longing that had been suppressed in everyone's hearts finally erupted at this moment, and the atmosphere at the scene seemed to return to what it used to be, lively and extraordinary.
"By the way, old man, besides the changes in the Council and the continent of Giltina, there is one more thing I must mention."
Laxus glanced at his companions who were chatting happily, then turned his gaze to Makarov and said in a low voice, "A year ago, we fought a battle against Raven's Tail, led by that bastard old man."
Upon hearing news of his scoundrel son, Makarov frowned slightly, his gentle gaze suddenly turning sharp.
"The crow's tail?"
,
Erza, sitting next to him, looked puzzled. "They actually attacked Fairy Tail at this time?"
According to the future development of the world, Ivan should have to wait until the seventh year of the Grand Magic Games, or more precisely, until the return of the Sirius Group, before he can take action.
She is currently unaware of Lumen Starlight (Fairy Heart)'s existence and subconsciously believes that Raven's Tail's constant targeting of Fairy Tail is solely due to the feud between the two guilds and between father and son.
Apart from Chase and the future Laxus, all the guild members thought so.
"The variable that caused this discrepancy is probably that Laxus is still in the guild on our side."
Chase casually picked up the half-eaten strawberry cake placed in front of Erza, showing it off as he said, "After all, in Ivan's eyes, the guilds of the future world have no value worth attacking."
Seeing that he had devoured the strawberry cake in no time, Erza instantly lost all interest in knowing the reason for the war. She pursed her lips, puffed out her cheeks, and stared at her hateful boyfriend with resentment in her eyes.
Only Chase could do this; if it were anyone else, the Fairy Queen would definitely have lost her temper on the spot!
"You encountered Raven's Tail in the future world too?" Laxus noticed the hidden information in Erza and Chase's words.
"That bastard Ivan has done a lot of disgusting things to us, but we'll talk about that later when we have time."
Makarov waved his hand, steer the conversation back on track, "So what exactly is going on here?"
"It was the raven's tail that struck first, attacking Jet and Troy who were making a commission."
Recalling the scene, Laxus clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with anger. "And then I declared war on them."
After he finished speaking, he briefly recounted the war that had caused quite a stir in the magical world at the time.
Even the Raventail team, comprised of five members of the Fairy Tail Special Forces, was no match for Laxus, making the situation undeniably one-sided.
The moment they clashed, Ivan was used as a speed bump by the enraged Laxus and crushed over. His subordinates were equally powerless against Macao and the others who had been enhanced by the Black Magician's Guide to Training!
Throughout the war, guild members sustained minor injuries, and Laxus's clothes were slightly dirty.
The biggest effect of Ivan's attack was to make the entire magical world realize that even Fairy Tail, which had lost its main force, should not be underestimated.
They still possessed the power to easily annihilate a sizable dark guild (at this time, Raventail had not yet been officially recognized)!
Perhaps out of the deep bond between father and son, Laxus ultimately did not kill Ivan, but instead handed him over to the Council for trial along with all the members. They are still imprisoned in a dark and secluded prison.
"He deserved it—" Makarov sighed heavily after hearing the whole story.
His aged face was filled with complex emotions: anger at Ivan for daring to attack Fairy Tail, heartache for his own son who had chosen such a path, and relief that all the guild's children were safe and sound.
"Old man, that bastard father mentioned his motives for attacking us."
Lagasus paused, "The darkness of the guild, that thing called Lumen Starshine, what exactly—"
"Now is not the time for you to know."
Makarov raised his hand to interrupt him, "The only thing I can tell you is that it is not darkness, but the light that guides the guild."
Lumen Starshine is a top secret that only the guild leader has the right to know, as it concerns the life and death of the entire guild.
Although Lagusas, who served as acting president for two and a half years, and Chase, the prospective president, were barely qualified, it was clearly impossible to discuss such matters in public.
Mavis, who was surrounded by Macao and the others, twitched her elven ears and gave them an approving smile.
"See that! The First Generation is smiling at me!"
"Stop being so self-satisfied. The First Generation is clearly encouraging me, their diligent junior!"
Macao and Wakaba eagerly showered him with attention, having learned the identity of the adorable ghost from their drinking buddy, Kana.
Laxus didn't seem too surprised. In the two and a half years since he took over the guild, he had inevitably learned a lot about it and was no longer like Natsu and his group of roughnecks who knew nothing about the guild's history.
Especially after meeting Volod, one of the guild's founders and a council member.
"I understand." Laxus nodded gently.
The old man's account was almost identical to Mr. Warlord's. Although his curiosity about "Lumen Starshine" was growing stronger, he still did not pursue the topic further.
Two and a half years of hard work have made this rebellious, arrogant blond-haired man much more mature.
Having conveyed all the information that needed to be prioritized, Laxus finally showed a relieved expression and leaned heavily back in his chair.
However, what I felt was an unusual soft and slightly warm sensation.
Laxus turned around abruptly and saw Fried, as if possessed by Juvia, crouching and crawling slightly behind him.
"Friedrich?!"
"Laxus, you've worked too hard these past two and a half years. The chair back is too hard; it's better to use my body as a cushion."
Fried raised his head, his expression resolute.
Biguslow and Abba Green followed closely behind, one fanning the breeze and the other serving tea, making quite an exaggerated scene.
Laxus was startled at first, then shook his head helplessly: "You guys haven't changed at all."
Despite this, there was no hint of disgust on his face, but rather a joyful smile.
"It's so good to see you again—"
"Waaaaah! Laxus!"
Thor's crew swarmed forward, wiping their snot and tears on Laxus once more.
"Your relationship is still as good as ever," Mira said with a smile, happy for their reunion.
"After all, they are the Thunder Gods." Erza also smiled.
"But they're still a little bit behind us," Chase added.
"Oh, of course!"
"This...this...this is completely different! You thief who stole the cake!"
Despite the fact that it had been confirmed, Laxus still felt that the scene before him was somewhat surreal, seeing Mira openly admitting it and Erza blushing instantly.
These two are the strongest female mages in the guild, and they actually became Chess's girlfriends at the same time!
"I definitely have to ask Fried and the others for details later!" he thought to himself, his gossip-loving mood reaching its peak.
"While you guys are strong, when it comes to synergy, we and Laxus will definitely not lose!"
"That's exactly right, compared to us, you're far inferior!"
The Thors united against a common enemy, showing no sign of backing down and displaying exceptional resolve.
Caught between the two groups, Makarov spoke up to stop them, saying, "Alright, alright, it's not time to show off our love or argue yet."
Explaining to the outside world, adapting to the new environment, and communicating with the Holy Ten Council to explain the reasons, etc., the two and a half years of vacancy brought a lot of trouble.
Thinking about all this gave Old Ma a headache.
