Fairy Tail: The Fourth Master - Volume 1 Chapter 32
-Three Days Later-
-Clover Town, Guild Master Meeting Hall-
The guild master hall is now different compared to before, it is much larger and much grander, it is also protected by a powerful magic that strengthen its foundation.
The magic council did this to avoid similar incidents like the one with the Lullaby.
Currently, inside the meeting hall, a banquet is happening. Several guild masters from different guilds being accompanied by their ace member are happily drinking and eating.
The door of the hall suddenly opened and Natsu, wearing his saint coat, walks in, behind him, is Kagura who is assigned to be his escort.
The entire hall was silent as they all glance at him, more specifically, glance at his coat and they were pretty stunned to say the least.
They know him after all, Natsu Dragneel, the Salamander, the most troublesome and destructive member of Fairy Tail guild.
Some guild master thought that with the disappearance of Fairy Tail’s master and S-class mage then they would fall down.
They didn’t expect that the most destructive member of the said guild will become its new master, and most of all, even become a Saint!
They then turned their gaze at the girl accompanying him, they can feel she is also very powerful, along with her beauty, they were thinking that perhaps she’ll be the next queen of fairies.
Then, a man holding a tray with glasses of red wine approached Natsu as he offered him some wine.
“Thank you.” Natsu smiled as he picked up a glass of wine and take a sip, “Good wine,”
The man nodded and went towards Kagura, who refused to take some wine and just stood behind Natsu.
After a few seconds, the guild masters continue their talks and some went back to eat and drink.
“My~ my~ who would’ve thought that you’ll be the one who take over after Makarov, Natsu-chan.” Natsu turned his head and smiled.
“I didn’t expect it to happen, Master Bob.”
Bob is an elderly, bald, and cross-dressing man. He is wearing a purple spaghetti-strap shirt accessorized by a gold and fuchsia hoop necklace, and a vertical-striped pink and purple shorts.
He also completes his look with red lipstick and blush on each cheek. He has small, white wings that are surprisingly capable of flight, albeit to a limited extent.
He is also the master of the guild, Blue Pegasus.
“Men~! You’re parfum became more manly than before, Natsu-san.”
“Same to you too, Ichiya.”
Ichiya is a short and rather stout man with a distinctively big, somewhat rectangular face, a large flat nose which always seems to be shining, and prominent cheekbones.
He has dark eyes and thick eyebrows, with a pair of lines pointing towards his nose below them, plus some stubble around his mouth and a prominent chin.
His orange hair was initially kept in a wavy style with many curved spikes jutting outwards, with one acting as a fringe on the left side of his face.
He is also the ace of Blue Pegasus.
“Men~! I thank you for the compliment!” Ichiya then disappeared and appeared beside Kagura as he held her hand, “Hmm~ such a lovely parfum~! Tell me, who is this beautiful lady accompanying you, Natsu-san?”
“Err~” Kagura seems to be uncomfortable as she keep looking at Natsu, asking for his help with her eyes.
Natsu just smiled but still separated the two of them, Kagura quickly hid behind Natsu as he just sighed.
“This lady here is my escort for this night, her name is Kagura Mikazuchi, and I would really appreciate it if you don’t try to hit on her Ichiya.”
“Men~!” Ichiya glance at Kagura then back to Natsu as he nodded, “I see, Men~ don’t worry Natsu-san, I am a gentleman, I’m not the type to take other men’s woman.”
‘Wha-?’ Natsu was confused but decided to ignore it, while Kagura blushed hearing Ichiya’s words, though it quickly disappeared.
“Natsu-dono!”
“Oh? Jura!”
Jura Nekis, one of the wizard saint walks over as he greeted Natsu who greeted him back with a smile.
“How’s your injuries, Natsu-dono?”
“I’m fine, though I heard that you have been promoted, is that true?”
“Hahaha~ I was supposed too, but with Fiana-dono losing to you, she was pushed down to the 7th seat, Julius-dono was pushed down to 8th seat, Kylla-dono to 9th and me to 10th, and whe I beat Kylla-dono, I was back at my previous seat, 9th.”
“I see, my bad then, though I regret nothing.”
“Hahaha~Its okay, I’m still far from reaching your level after all, Natsu-dono.”
“Haha-”
Their conversation was cut short as the lights dimmed and a holographic figures of all members of the council appeared on the stage.
“So it begins.” Natsu muttered as he glance at the councilors with a smile.
“Good evening, Guild Masters of Fiore! I am Gran Doma, the Chairman of the Council. I have called you here to discuss about the request of the King of Fiore.”
The guild master stayed silent as they listen carefully about what Gran Doma is saying.
“Six months from now, the Fiore will held the very first tournament, a tournament that will decide of who will be the strongest guild in the entire country! Train your guild members and aim for the top! Win the very first Grand Magic Games! And claim the title of the Strongest Guild!”
After his words, the light returns and the council members disappeared.
The entire hall was silent for a few seconds before everyone erupted, roar of excitement filled the hall.
Natsu smirked and turned around to leave, there’s no point of staying here anymore, the only reason why he came here is to show everyone that Fairy Tail is still standing strong even without its S-class mages and the previous master.
In fact, if it weren’t for this, then he wouldn’t even bother on attending this pointless meeting.
“Natsu-dono, you’re leaving already?”
Natsu stopped walking as he turned his head and look over his shoulders, everyone was looking at him, causing him to smirk.
“There is no point on staying here, I already know about the Grand Magic Games, the only reason why I showed up here is to show everyone, that Fairy Tail is still not a guild you can mess with. In this upcoming tournament, my guild will show you all why we held the title of Strongest for so long.”
“Is that so? Why don’t you prove it right here right now!”
