"Zorn, you're back! Come quickly and see what's wrong with Lucy!"
Gray and the others instantly brightened up when they saw Zorn.
"Oh, I was still thinking of trying to burn Lucy with fire to see, but now there's no chance..."
Natsu, unlike the others, felt down instead, looking very regretful.
"Hey, hey, Natsu... do you still want a wife or not?"
His regretful murmur made Zorn's head ache.
Bending down, he carefully observed Lucy's state; it truly was a good potion.
Without Observation Haki, he wouldn't have noticed anything at all!
"How is it, Zorn, is there any way?"
Cana asked worriedly.
"This..."
It probably depends on Freed and Levy!
In the story, the potion had been seven years old.
But at the moment, it had just begun, so Freed's spell should be able to dispel it.
"Freed, Levy, how's your research coming along?!"
Zorn shouted loudly.
Because at this moment, Lucy had already started to emit a pink glow.
"What's going on... not just my body, even my clothes are starting to become transparent..."
Lucy looked at her body in surprise, her voice becoming panicked.
"Your existence is disappearing..." Zorn said with a heavy tone.
"Meaning this person will completely vanish, as if they never existed, and no one will remember them..."
Everyone's hearts tightened upon hearing this.
It seems the potion, without having aged seven years, was extremely potent and had already begun to exert its true effect.
"We found it, Freed, these are the potion ingredients..." Levy hurriedly threw the list in her hand to Freed.
"Now, leave it to me..."
"The person within this spell..."
Freed quickly wielded his rapier, drawing lines of spells that enveloped Lucy.
But at this moment, Lucy's pink glow intensified greatly.
"Is it too late?" Freed's heart was also filled with extreme anxiety: "The magic potion's effect..." He hadn't finished speaking.
Everyone's expressions froze, and they stared blankly at each other. For a moment, no one knew why they were all standing there.
"Effect? Did I just say something?" Freed put his rapier away and asked Levy beside him blankly.
"No, right? Is it about work?"
"That's strange..." The two of them couldn't remember what had just happened, no matter how hard they tried.
"I think I was drawing just now..."
"Was someone here just now?"
"Yeah, I feel that way too..."
Everyone spoke out with confused expressions, but found no clues.
Zorn was the same, but there was something even more important, so he shook his head and stopped trying to figure out what it was.
He turned to Mira by the bar and asked, "Mira, is the Guild Master at the Guild today?"
Mirajane suppressed the question in her heart and replied, "The Guild Master went to the regular meeting of Guild Masters; he might not be back for a while."
"Is something wrong?"
"It's this... the notice I just got from the Council. The Guild Master and the others must be discussing this too!"
Zorn placed the Grand Magic Games notice on the table.
"Grand Magic Games, this competition... Guild ranking?" Erza murmured softly.
"What, what... let me see."
Natsu, eating a piece of bread, interjected to peer at the contents of the notice.
...
"Everyone, I'm right here, have you really forgotten me?"
"Natsu, I'm right here, weren't you going to ask me to work?"
Lucy looked at Natsu, who was excitedly spouting fire, and fearfully tried to confirm with him.
But there was no response.
"Gray, can't you hear me either?"
"Zorn... Cana... Erza... Mirajane... stop looking at the notice, look at me, I'm right here..."
"Drip, drip..."
Lucy spun around, but no one responded to her calls. Tears were already dripping onto the ground.
She was truly scared. She thought of what Zorn had just said.
The world would erase her, and no one would remember her.
"How could this be..." Lucy squatted on the ground, crying in fear.
Natsu's side.
"Hahaha, let them see how amazing I, Natsu, am!"
"Alright, I'm full, time to train!!!"
"Let's go work hard! Happy, Lucy... this way we can simultaneously..."
Happy echoed, "Aye~"
Natsu was very excited, never expecting the kingdom to host this event. It was great; there would be more fights to be had.
But when Natsu called Lucy's name, his expression froze, as if he remembered something: "Lucy?"
"That's right, Lucy! She's our comrade!"
"Yes, Lucy, I remember now!"
"Miss Lucy!"
"Oh, right, just now we were trying to dispel the magic potion..."
Everyone from Fairy Tail instantly remembered what they had been doing, and gasped in surprise.
At this moment, Zorn looked at Natsu and Lucy, who were staring at each other, and exchanged a knowing smile with Cana.
Magic resides in people's hearts; strong bonds will ultimately overcome magic.
...
On the other side, the Council.
"Speaker, how should we deal with Lord Zorn?"
"Deal with him?"
The Speaker looked at the Council meeting building, which had become a ruin, and couldn't help but ask himself.
How to deal with him.
He couldn't defeat him, and that attack was already him holding back!
He looked at the glowing text left in the sky: "Behave yourself, and don't let it happen again!"
It was truly a headache, and he needed to re-evaluate the relationship between Zorn and the Council.
He had originally thought Zorn would show some restraint out of respect for the Ten Wizard Saints and the Council's reputation.
Unexpectedly, his temperament was no different from their Guild Master's.
After a sigh, he turned to the captain and said, "Notify the Four Heavenly Kings and see what their opinions are!"
He only hoped to ease the situation.
