A few days later,
Fairy Tail Guild.
"Zo~rn~"
With a loud bang, Master Makarov furiously pushed open the door.
Zorn, who was choosing a mission on the second floor, was instantly startled, his body trembled, and he turned his head in disbelief.
He immediately… saw the Master glaring and searching for him.
And the moment Zorn and the Master made eye contact.
"You bastard! You blew up the Council's meeting hall! Get down here now!"
Master Makarov roared, transforming directly into a giant.
His golden eyes stared angrily at Zorn.
Zorn swallowed hard at this moment; to be honest, seeing the Master up close like this was quite intimidating.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Everyone, aren't you going to help me persuade the Master? Or help me stop him!"
Zorn looked around at Laxus, Erza, Gildarts, Ul, Mirajane, and the others.
But he received no response whatsoever.
Instead, he even received a look from Laxus as if he was enjoying the show.
This reminded Zorn of when Laxus had tried to persuade him before, and he had simply waved his hand and ignored him.
The others merely shrugged, expressing their helplessness.
They all thought in unison: "Sorry, Zorn, the Master still found out about you blowing up the Council!"
These few didn't speak up to dissuade him, let alone the other Guild Members; at this moment, they really seemed to have no idea what was wrong with the Master.
"Ultear, I'll leave the Guild's restoration to you!"
The Master turned his head, gently and softly entrusting Ultear.
The reason he was so at ease was because of Ultear's Arc of Time magic, which could manipulate the time of objects within a certain range.
This way, the damaged Guild buildings could be repaired.
He was no longer afraid of Guild Members fighting.
"O-okay." Ultear responded hastily, a crystal ball appearing in her hand, ready at any moment.
After Master Makarov finished speaking, he immediately turned his head and swung his giant right arm towards Zorn, roaring loudly: "Kid, don't think you can get arrogant just because you've gained strength!"
"You're still far from it!"
"Whoosh~"
The wind brought by his arm whistled past.
"Master, are you serious?"
Zorn broke out in a cold sweat, his body instantly scattering into countless light particles, then re-condensing into human form behind the Master.
Rumble~
The railing on the second floor instantly collapsed.
"Of course, I'm serious!"
Master Makarov said in a deep voice, his eyes extremely serious, speaking each word as he looked at Zorn.
"Magic Circle: Three Pillar Gods!"
Master Makarov waved his hands in the air, roaring loudly.
Instantly, a defensive magic array formed by black, golden-glowing triangular prisms appeared around Zorn, directly restricting his movements.
"This is... Armament Haki... coating?"
And in the instant Zorn was dazed, the Master threw a punch.
"Bang~" A hole appeared in the roof.
"Ahhh~"
Zorn's figure transformed into a shooting star and vanished into the air.
"Really, this kid, if I don't teach him a lesson, he'll truly be lawless!"
"Hmph~ At least this kid knows what's good for him~"
The Master reverted to his old man form, snorting coldly as he looked at the hole in the ceiling.
Of course, he knew that with Zorn's strength, he could easily break through his seal.
Letting him hit him so obediently probably meant he knew when to advance and retreat.
"Oh, Ultear, I'm counting on you! Hehe."
"Mira, get me a beer!"
Master Makarov turned around, immediately changing into an old playful demeanor, and started acting cute towards Ultear and Mirajane.
"Is... is this really okay?"
Meldy, who had only been there for a short time, was still a bit unaccustomed to such sudden events, asking worriedly.
"It's fine, Zorn is probably hiding somewhere right now!"
"Moreover, isn't the charm of Fairy Tail precisely in being extraordinary, and acting on impulse!"
"So, don't suppress yourself, be brave and be yourself!"
Erza suddenly appeared beside Meldy, comforting her, her right hand clenched into a fist, her eyes glowing with golden light.
Although she didn't approve of Zorn's impulsiveness, the grand feat of blowing up the Council still excited her greatly.
Meldy nodded thoughtfully, pondering something.
If Zorn saw this scene, he would definitely complain to Erza, telling her not to mislead anymore!
Is another Erza going to appear in the Guild?
...
East Forest.
"Laxus, if you're here, don't just watch from the shadows!"
"Here, come fish here!"
Zorn casually threw another fishing rod to his right, which was immediately caught by a bolt of lightning in mid-air.
It then transformed into human form, sitting cross-legged beside Zorn, and the fishing line was cast into the river.
Laxus asked as if making small talk: "Judging by you today, are you planning to take on a mission and leave?"
"Plop~" Water splashed on the surface.
"Hey, hey, hey~ I caught one, I caught one!"
"Whoosh~" With a strong pull from Zorn, a huge saber-toothed fish was reeled in by Zorn, and he immediately punched it.
The fish's life ended there.
Zorn unhurriedly started a fire, then replied: "Yes, the Grand Magic Games will only be held next year, so there's still plenty of time!"
"During this period, I can't waste it!"
"Oh, right, you have to keep it a secret for me, don't let Natsu and the others know I'm leaving!"
"Otherwise, they'll start clamoring to follow!"
"And please tell the old man over there as well!"
His hands didn't stop moving, flipping the roasted fish to roast the other side.
Zorn continued to roast the fish and chatter to himself, but he never heard a response from Laxus.
He turned his head in surprise to look at Laxus.
Instantly.
A mischievous smile appeared on Zorn's face as he flashed to Laxus's side: "What, you're reluctant to see me go! Look at you. Let me tell you, I like women!"
"Lightning Fist~"
"Hey, hey, you're serious too~ That was close, that was close." Zorn instantly transformed into light particles to evade, teleporting to the campfire, and said with lingering fear as he looked at Laxus's angry expression.
Zorn looked at Laxus seriously and continued: "I know what you're worried about!"
"Don't worry!"
"As long as you have strength, everything will be solved easily!"
"Don't forget, we are Fairy Tail!"
As Zorn said this, he clenched his right hand; this time, they had a full seven years to improve their strength.
After that, when they encountered enemies, they wouldn't be beaten so badly.
Strength, huh!
Zorn, just how strong are you?
The towering figure on Tenrou Island kept appearing in Laxus's mind.
So he was very eager to personally experience that despair.
Only then would he have the possibility of moving forward.
"While you still have time, I'd like to know what the gap is between you and me?"
"So, let's fight now!"
Laxus's body sank, and with a flash, he unleashed a whip kick towards Zorn.
Zorn, on the other hand, quickly elementalized and dodged with a flash, while at the same time countless light rays counterattacked.
...
At home in the evening.
Gildarts was called away by the Master and wasn't home for a while, which was truly great.
Simi was also called away by Tami, saying that the little kittens were having a private gathering.
"Ah~ That guy Laxus, he's really going all out!"
"I'm so tired!"
Zorn himself was indeed a bit fatigued after fighting all afternoon.
His head rested on Kana's lap, comfortably enjoying Kana's massage.
Enjoying their hard-won private world for two.
Only, he didn't know that the news of him going on a mission had accidentally been leaked by Simi.
On the day of the mission, seeing those familiar people, he fell into deep silence.
The protagonist is the protagonist.
Does that movie plot still depend on them?
