Fairy Tail: The Fourth Master - Volume 1 Chapter 55
Year 789, the fifth year of Tenrou Group’s disappearance.
This year was pretty chaotic, especially for the saints, the Alvarez Empire, which has been quiet for years, finally showed signs of action.
The Ishgar doesn’t know what they are planning, but they are gathering and increasing their army.
The council decided to send Doranbolt, or Mest, to Alzarez to gather some information, however, just a month after he set off, he returned.
His body full of injuries, and it feels like he will dies any moment, he was also being accompany by another person.
The Strongest mage of Ishgar, God Serena.
And from his mouth, he revealed that he went rogue and join Alvarez as one of the Spriggan twelve, angering the rest of the saints.
The three gods of Ishgar attacked him in anger, but they did not even put up much of a fight, God Serena cruelly crushed them beneath his feet.
He even revealed some information regarding the Alvarez empire, that they aren’t planning on attacking Ishgar yet.
However, before he could even spout any more words, he was sent flying by a punch from Natsu.
The two fought in Era, completely destroying the Council’s Headquarters, even the other saints dared not to approached the battle site.
The fight lasted for a whole day and only stop when both of them couldn’t even use magic anymore.
God Serena managed to escape with heavy injury while Natsu passed out while standing, he was in a coma for a whole month.
After that, when Natsu was finally back to his peak, they decided to rearrange the saint rankings and recruit new saints.
Hyberion, Wolfheim, and Warrod was promoted to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively, while Natsu was given the 4th seat.
Despite Hyberion rejecting the position and said it should be given to Natsu, the council did not budge and forced the number 1 seat to him.
The fifth was given to Fiana, sixth to Jura, seventh to Julius, and eighth to Kylla, the council are still searching for suitable candidates for the 9th and 10th position.
Natsu actually protested, saying that gramps should still hold his title as a wizard saint, but the council rejected it, saying that a guild cannot have more than two saints in it.
With the power of the council, Natsu couldn’t do much, he was forced to swallow his words and shut his mouth.
In the end, he just gritted his teeth in anger and destroy a quarter of the newly built headquarters.
Next came the Grand Magic Games, Fairy Tail claimed the first place once again, with Sabertooth as the second, Fairy Tail only won by one point!
Natsu used the prized money to build another dormitory near the Fairy Hills, it is named Fairy Mountain.
Then, the S-class trials, the one who got promoted was Meredy, not that surprising, especially when he’s already an S-class material despite being only 12-13 years old five years ago.
Time passed as the year ends rather quickly.
Year 790, the sixth year since the disappearance of Tenrou Group.
The year was rather peaceful, no commotion that requires the attention of a saint, aside from the two new saints being selected.
During this year, Natsu trained to increase his magic reserve and to lessen the magic consumption of his Overlord magic.
When he was free time, he was hanging out with the girls, this is the only time where he can let go of his worries and relax.
Sometimes he was hanging out with Ultear, sometimes Kugura, sometimes the two of them. He was even hanging out with Fiana, just walking around the town while holding hands, when he has time he will go to Crocus and spend time with Hisui.
Yep, such a peaceful life. Several boys of Fairy Tail was glaring at Natsu in jealousy, though no one really dare to go out with the women he was hanging out with, that doesn’t mean they can’t get jealous over it.
After all, every single girl he was with are all drop dead gorgeous, a goddess they can only stare at but never be with.
The two are S-class mages from the strongest guild in Fiore that isn’t a little bit weaker than a saint, one is a member of 10 wizard saints, and the last is a princess of a country.
All four them are not someone ordinary people want to mess with.
As for the S-class trials, no one actually managed to pass. Even Alexander, Sting, Rogue and Yukino failed the exam.
The new generation of S-class mages did not go easy, and crushed the participants.
This year passed with a little trouble.
Year 791, the seventh year of Tenrou Group’s disappearance, a good surprise, awaited Fairy Tail.
Standing on a shore, a young boy with dark-blue hair, can be seen. He was looking at a distant sea with a serious and longing expression.
“Missing them?”
The boy turned his head and saw another boy around his age with blue hair, blue-cat ears and blue tail, squatting beside him while looking at the sea, with a grilled fish in his hand.
“Happy?” the young boy uttered as he glance at the blue haired boy before shifting his gaze back at the sea once again, “Yeah, aren’t we all? I’m still waiting for then to return, besides, Ultear-nee already said it, before the Tenrou disappeared, a golden orb shielded it, and it was confirmed by master that it was one of Fairy Tail’s great spell, the Fairy Sphere.”
“Hm,” Happy nodded and ate the fish in one go, “I know, we all miss them too, the newbies are also dying to meet them.” Then, he transformed into a cat and jumped at the boy’s head.
“Anyway, let’s go back Romeo, the others are waiting for us.”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
