Chapter 0006: The Relationship Between Tension and Malice

Such behavior, in the eyes of those from "Fairy Tail," is seen as free-spirited and carefree; however, from the perspective of the Council, it is viewed as indulgent, and naturally, such a guild would not be well-regarded.

Laxus seemed to have lost interest in continuing the conversation, releasing Noah, casting a glance at Erza beside him, and letting out a cold snort

"Stop joking, I am much stronger than before!" Lacassas lowered his arms that were crossed in front of him, took a step forward, leaned down, and brought his head directly close to Noah's ear, laughing softly.

I am the designated executor sent by the Council to accompany the infusion of magic into the Lake of Ceremonies. You three are the mages from 'Fairy Tail', correct

Although "Fairy Tail" is the foremost powerful wizard guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, the Council does not hold them in high regard

Then lead the way

Certainly, these small amounts of money are not worth considering for Laksas, and he would not be bothered by having two annoying teammates to quibble over such matters

Of course, while one cannot remain indifferent, Elusha had no intention of intervening at all, still quietly standing alone at the side.

Although the middle-aged man is not a mage, since the council has assigned him to accompany the person coming to infuse the Lake of Rituals with magical energy and books, it is natural that he cannot be unfamiliar with the matters concerning the Lake of Rituals

Middle-aged individuals are increasingly frowning more deeply.

"Ha?" Laxaston laughed, his laughter exceptionally arrogant

Is it necessary for there to be more people coming for this commission this time?

It is worth mentioning that throughout the journey, neither Noah, Elusa, nor Laxus exchanged a single word with each other, yet Laxus covered the expenses for both the train tickets and the meals.

Upon seeing this, even Erza could not help but furrow her brows

You speak as if you are a strong person, but compared to my grandfather, you are still far behind!

Hurry up and finish this boring task for me

Most importantly, Noah, who was tightly held by Laxus around the neck, still wore a calm expression, seemingly unconcerned that Laxus might take action against him. In contrast to the frowning Erza, he appeared truly indifferent.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows

The reason is quite simple. Makarov, the guild master of "Fairy Tail," advocates for the members of the guild to follow the path in their hearts and forge their own magical journey. To this end, he openly declared to the guild members that even the words of the council need not be heeded.

Since meeting Makarov and being adopted by him at https://mhetushucomcom, Noah has usually been wandering around Magnolia Town. This time, it is his first journey away from home. Even though Noah has thoroughly studied the route to the Lake of Ceremony and has even examined the map, it remains uncertain whether the station staff will allow an eleven-year-old child to board the train.

It was not until after dark that the three of them disembarked from the train

Could it be that the other party has once again disregarded the commission of the evaluation committee

You, this fellow, are still the same as you were a year ago. Clearly possessing a magical talent that even that old man would find astonishing, yet because of his one remark, you have always been too afraid to learn magic. This is all you have achieved, coward!

Laksas, you are still the same as before

Others?'' Laxus also understood the middle-aged man's meaning and immediately broke into a grin

This is indeed not the case

Oh? Noah not only did not get angry, but instead revealed a hint of a smile

... ...

The evaluation committee?'' Laksas glanced at the middle-aged man and then immediately averted his gaze one second later

As soon as Noah's words fell, Laxus suddenly reached out his hand, wrapping it around Noah's neck, pulling him tightly until Noah was pressed closely against him

Now, however, the other party claims that only three people have come

There are no other people on www.hetushu.com, only the three of us

Traveling from Magnolia Town to the Lake of Rituals requires passing through at least four towns, even if one takes the train, and it takes a whole day of travel to arrive

Unaware that Erza's state of mind had already changed, Noah let out a light laugh that resembled a sneer in response to Laxus's words for the first time

A shadow of gloom appeared on Laksas's face, which was soon replaced by a defiant smile

Relying on his height advantage, the boy looked down at Noah with an increasingly fierce gaze, intensifying the heaviness in the air and creating a palpable sense of tension.

Noah and Elusha continued to ignore Laxus, synchronously lifting their feet to follow behind him, heading towards the street exit of Magnolia Town

The first reaction of middle-aged individuals is disbelief, but they soon recall the rumors about 'Fairy Tail'.

Elusa, who had been standing to the side, finally fixed her gaze on Noah for the first time after Laxus spoke these words, her eyes revealing a complex expression

That is merely temporary; sooner or later, I will trample that old man underfoot

Do you really want me to learn magic

Since you are here to guide me, then please obediently lead the way

Even now, I can crush you with one hand, my brother...

"Since I moved into the 'Fairy Tail' guild, it has been a whole year, hasn't it?" Noah nodded calmly.

As soon as he got off the train, a middle-aged man dressed in somewhat formal attire approached directly from the crowd. He glanced at the back of Noah's right hand and the "Fairy Tail" guild emblem on Elusha's armor, and then in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, he inquired.

Such a language, almost cruel, was clearly misdirected by Laxus. Among the two young individuals of the same age present, one maintained a calm expression as always, while the other did not even lift an eyelid, displaying an unusual indifference, which left Laxus feeling a sense of boredom, prompting him to turn around and leave.

Aren't you going to wait for the others in the guild?

Although Laxus now emanates a dangerous aura, giving the impression that he could strike at any moment, Erza does not sense any genuine hostility from him

That old man actually wants me to be the babysitter for two little brats who don't even know how to walk properly. Clearly, such weaklings could just be tossed aside anywhere. 'Fairy Tail' is not a daycare!

Erza does not wish to associate with anyone, not even with her fellow guild members. However, this does not mean that Erza can remain indifferent to internal conflicts among the members of the same guild.

I just want to tell you that even if you were picked up by that old man from somewhere unknown, now that you have become my brother, I will not allow you to be a weakling, do you understand

What I dislike the most is your expression of being more than adequate regardless of the situation! Laxus reined in his smile and continued speaking with a blank expression.

Thus, all the way here, Noah and Elusha merely followed Laxus. Under Laxus's guidance, they boarded the train and spent the entire day traveling by train before finally arriving at the location of the Lake of the Ceremony

The middle-aged man was left speechless and could only lead the way as he exited the station

It is only natural that middle-aged individuals are aware that each year, the guilds tasked with the mission must send out at least dozens of mages to form a large team to infuse magical power into the Lake of Rituals, in order to activate the lake and make it glow

Since there is none, then there is no need to say so much nonsense; as long as we can complete the task, that is enough! Laxus spoke impatiently

Sorry

Three people, I think it would be better if your president could send more people over...

It has indeed been a long time since we last met

Moreover, ... ..." Laxus let out a wild laugh

Originally, he was an orphan just like me

The middle-aged man displayed a look of astonishment at the mention of three people

Picked up from somewhere unknown
