"There's no other way!"
"Since Irene plans to compete…"
"Laxus, only you can stop Irene."
"After all, only a Dragon Slayer can deal with a Dragon Slayer…"
"This is common knowledge in the Magic World."
"After it's done, I'll give you half of the guild's prize money…"
"Laxus, don't let me down. I've always believed in you."
'When you were young, I treated you very well…'
Gildarts glanced at Irene, a hint of fear in his expression.
It could be said that Gildarts' confidence had been completely shattered by Irene.
Thus, Gildarts shamelessly looked at Laxus, who was not far from him, and spoke.
"Huh?"
"You said for me to stop Irene?!"
"Is that for real?!"
Laxus, suddenly called out by Gildarts, was completely bewildered. It was true that Gildarts had treated him well, but asking him to deal with Irene, wasn't that just seeking death?!
Although Laxus had already entered the 'Ten Wizard Saints' level... the realm Irene was in was simply too far away, wasn't it?!
Simply put, how could a second-generation Dragon Slayer, who hadn't even fully mastered Dragon Force, possibly contend with Irene, the mother of Dragon Slayer Magic?!
Hmm, if Magicians were divided by game levels… Level 1 is E-Class Magician.
And so on.
Level 2 is D-Class.
Level 3 is C-Class.
Level 4 is B-Class.
Level 5 is A-Class.
Level 6 is S-Class.
Then Laxus is currently around Level 7.
And Jura during the Grand Magic Games, who is a Magician at the human limit, is Level 8. The Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, who are in the 'Non-Human' realm, are Level 9. The Twelve Shields of the Alvarez Empire are Level 10 and above.
Then Irene's level is 91.
Acnologia is Level 100.
Yes, this is a hundred-level system.
Asking him, a newbie who had just stepped into the magic realm... to deal with a big shot who had cultivated for over four hundred years, what would he use to win?!
And who gave him the courage to challenge Irene?
Was it 'Liang Jingru' who gave him the courage?
"Irene…"
"Well, how should I put this?!"
"Although according to previous requirements…"
"The Fairy Tail Guild's 24-hour Endurance Race is a mandatory collective activity, enforced by the Master, in which all guild members must participate."
"But because we need to leave Magnolia Town…"
"So I've already reported to Master Makarov in advance. You and Selene don't need to participate, to avoid attracting Acnologia."
At this moment, Medivh, still Irene's 'doting husband,' stepped forward. He looked at Irene, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes, and explained.
Hmm, of course, it wasn't because they were all afraid of Irene.
After all, if the 24-hour brawl started later, they would only be unilaterally beaten when facing Irene... They were simply thinking of Irene.
That's why they didn't let Irene participate in the Fairy Tail Guild's collective activity.
"It's fine."
"I'll win the competition before Acnologia discovers us."
However, Medivh's words did not deter Irene; instead, they ignited her competitive spirit.
At the same time, Irene spoke softly in a joyful tone: "Also, I have good news to tell you, Medivh! From today onwards, for a long time, Medivh will not need to worry about Selene at all."
"Because Selene has been in the Earth-land World for too long, the natives of her Elentir World have already revolted. And it's unknown where these natives learned Dragon Slayer Magic; they have defeated several of Selene's subordinates and have already reached the foot of Black Moon Mountain!"
"Therefore, Selene had to temporarily return to her old lair in the Elentir World World a few days ago, and she won't be able to come to the Earth-land World for a while. She needs to stay in the Elentir World World to maintain order."
As Irene said this, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.
"Uh…"
"May I ask…"
"Does the Elentir World World natives' uprising have anything to do with you, Irene?!"
After a slight pause, Medivh seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
So, where exactly did the natives of the Elentir World World learn Dragon Slayer Magic?! Looking across the three worlds of Earth Land, Elentir, and Edolas, it seems you, Irene, are the only one who can cross worlds to teach others Dragon Slayer Magic, right?!
"Hahaha…"
"How could it be?! Selene and I are good sisters~"
"Perhaps there's something special about the Elentir World World that allows Dragon Slayer Magic to grow in the desert, who knows?!"
"You know, Medivh, it's a big world, full of wonders!"
Irene merely chuckled at the words, her laughter carrying a good deal of personal animosity.
"It really has something to do with you!"
Medivh's eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he spoke.
