Fairy Tail: The Fourth Master - Volume 1 Chapter 21

Two days later.

Natsu was standing in front of the guild hall while the other guild members was standing behind him, he was now wearing the clothes given to him by the king of Fiore.

“Natsu, will you really not let me go with you?” A blue cat, Happy, said to the fourth master while staying on the ground.

Natsu smiled and crouched down, patting Happy’s head, “I’m sorry buddy, but I really can’t, but don’t worry, once I return, I will make sure to buy you a lot of fish.”

“Aye!”

Natsu smiled and stood up, he look at his guild members, “Well then, I’ll be leaving the guild to you guys, ans before I forgot, I left a fifteen million jewels in my office, please use it wisely.”

“Hahaha!” Macao laughed hearing Natsu, “i couldn’t believe a day will come where I will hear you say to use money wisely, you’ve change Natsu, in a good way.”

Natsu smiled wryly while rubbing the back of his head, “haha~ even I did expect to change this much, but i need to, so that i can keep our guild going until the day will come that ‘they’ will return, and gramps will pat my shoulders while saying “I’m proud of you”.”

Macao smiled along with the rest, they look at one another and nodded, Macao step forward and give Natsu a hug.

“Natsu Dragneel, no, Master Natsu,” he stopped, and the rest of the guild also stepped forward and surrounded them.

They smiled, and at the same time, they said,

“”WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!””

Natsu’s eyes widen, but then, a smile appeared on his face as tears were threatening to fall from his eyes.

In the end, he can only close his eyes with a smile and said, “Hah~ thank you for believing in me.”

…

On the train.

Natsu is resting his chin on his hands while looking at the scenery through the window.

He didn’t think that just a few days of being the guild master, he change this much.

He became more calm and doesn’t use his fist to solve any problem now, and began to use his brain aside from fighting.

He doesn’t spend his jewels on useless things, he started to use his head before taking an action, and most importantly, he OVERCOME his motion sickness.

He didn’t even think that a day will come where he will enjoy the scenery while riding on a train, or any transportation for that matter.

‘Gramps, am I doing a good job as a guild master? I sure hope so. I know i can’t replace you, but i can at least keep this seat warm until you return.’

Even though he think like that, he doubt that Makarov will take his seat back, after all he’s been wanting to retire for years now.

The only reason why he refrain from passing his seat as the guild master is because he cannot find or pick a worthy successor.

But now, Natsu was sure that gramps would spend the rest of his retirement time goofing around while reading those….’literature’ of his.

In fact, Natsu Dragneel, read a few ‘literatures’ that Makarov has hidden under his desk, and he enjoyed it.

‘Nope, i did not, I’m not a pervert like gramps and Guildarts…..though those literatures are really good, i can’t believe gramps has hidd- no! Stop! Don’t think about those!’

…

Era, Magic Council’s headquarters.

Currently, several holographic people were talking to each other, their main topic? Well, its about Fairy Tail’s new master, Natsu Dragneel.

“Hahaha! I can’t believe they actually picked that brat to be their guildmaster! Hahaha!”

“You’re right, I’m sure it won’t be long before that guild disband by itself. Seriously, why would they even pick that irresponsible brat? Hahaha!”

“I thought that Fairy Tail would at least a bit longer, but with that brat as their master, it can already be called a miracle if they lasted year.”

“That’s right, that’s right, we cannot push the Fairy Tail too hard as they still have vast connections, but it looks like they are really seeking their own doom! Haha!”

“SILENCE!” Gran Doma shouted as the entire hall went silent, seeing this, he nodded, “even though it is indeed hilarious that they pick that brat as their master, we need to show our dignity as members of the council and officially declare him as the master.”

“Aside from that, we will also held a guild master’s meeting in all guilds from Fiore and inform them about the grand magic games. So just this time, do not insult him.”

All members nodded their head and stop laughing, though they couldn’t hide the amus.e.m.e.nt present on their eyes.

Natsu Dragneel? That brat who causes the most damage in every job he took? He’s gonna be the Fairy Tail’s fourth master? What a joke!

There’s no way that Fairy Tail will last more than a year with him leading the guild.

“Well, its one less guild we have to worry about.” A member said, causing everyone in the hall to nod their head in agreement.

“Indeed. Looks like the gods really don’t want for the Fairy Tail to exist.”
