Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Magic Council ERA Got Attacked?!
Behind the guild building was an outdoor swimming pool. The underground warehouse, which had recently served as a temporary bar, had now been restored to its original state. In the basement, there was an entertainment area equipped with magic pool tables, dartboards, and roulette wheels.
"Wow, it's exactly like the design plans!"
"It's way more luxurious than the old Fairy Tail!"
"So, how did this even get built?"
"Judging by the previous pace, it should've taken at least another month to finish."
Early in the morning, those who arrived at the guild were stunned by the sight before them. The once messy construction site had turned into a luxurious guild overnight.
As they stepped inside the new tavern, they found several people already there—Makarov, Nate, Mirajane, and two new faces. Or rather, not so new; wasn't one of them Ultear, a former member of the Magic Council?
"Oh my, is everyone here?" Mirajane smiled and greeted them.
"Surprised? I was just as shocked earlier."
"Mirajane, what's going on here?" Wakaba asked the question on everyone's mind.
Makarov cleared his throat and began introducing the new members.
"These two are the newest members of our guild, Ultear and Meredy."
"And the overnight construction of the guild is thanks to Ultear."
At this, everyone turned to the newcomers, most of their gazes focused on Ultear.
Ultear smiled warmly and greeted them, "Good morning, everyone. I'm the new member, Ultear. I look forward to working with you all."
"Working with us? Weren't you a Magic Council member?" Erza asked, confused.
"Erza, I've resigned from that position. From now on, I'm just a new member of Fairy Tail."
Ultear raised her left hand, showing the guild emblem on the back of her hand. It was in the same spot as Nate's, but hers was white, just like Mirajane's.
"Because of the events surrounding the Tower of Heaven, Jellal committed a grave crime. Since I joined the Magic Council along with Siegrain, Jellal's Thought Projection, I received a lot of criticism."
"A few days ago, I submitted my resignation, and the council quickly accepted it."
"If you check the Magic Council's ERA section of the Magic Net, you'll probably see my name has already been removed from the list of council members."
Was she implicated because of Jellal?
Erza, feeling sympathy for her, spoke kindly. "Anyway, welcome to Fairy Tail. Let's reintroduce ourselves—I'm Erza. If you ever run into any difficulties, feel free to ask me for help."
"Ultear, and..." Erza turned to the other newcomer.
"Meredy," Meredy softly whispered.
Then came the welcoming of the new members.
Having a former council member join the guild was quite novel for everyone, and they quickly gathered around Ultear, chatting and asking questions.
"Ultear, did you really build the guild overnight?" Levy asked, full of curiosity.
"As a new member, I wanted to help out in some way."
Ultear pulled out a crystal ball and began to demonstrate her magic for everyone. The ball dropped to the floor, shattering, but then reformed instantly. It floated in the air and split into multiple crystal balls from alternate futures, all at once.
"In short, this is my magic, Lost Magic: Arc of Time."
The crowd was amazed.
"That's incredible! As expected of a former council member!"
"The new members are getting more and more impressive!"
Lucy pointed at herself and joked, "What about me? I'm still a newbie too, right?"
"Eh, Lucy doesn't count," Happy teased.
"Stupid cat, cut it out!" Lucy cried, tears forming in her eyes, feeling overshadowed.
Seeing that everyone was crowding around Ultear, Levy approached Meredy, who seemed a bit left out.
"Hello, Meredy, I'm Levy McGarden. I specialize in Solid Script Magic."
Her two teammates followed suit.
"I'm Jet."
"And I'm Droy."
The three struck poses and proudly announced together, "We're the Shadow Gear team!"
Meredy stared at them blankly.
Levy, Jet, and Droy were stunned by the lack of response, an awkward silence stretching for about three seconds before Meredy finally spoke in a flat tone:
"Hello, I'm Meredy. My magic is Lost Magic: Maguilty Sense."
"Huh?!"
The trio was shocked.
"You also use Lost Magic? Like Ultear!" Levy exclaimed.
Meredy nodded, "We're..."
Before she could finish saying, "We're the Seven Kin of Purgatory," Nate quickly cut her off. "Meredy's magic is really interesting. Maybe she'll show you all sometime."
He then gently pulled her aside and whispered, "Are you stupid? Don't reveal your past identity."
"Oh, sorry," Meredy whispered back.
Nate sighed, feeling exasperated. He lowered his voice again, "Does Hades know you two are leaving?"
"I sent him a message," Meredy replied, showing Nate the message on the Magic Net.
Nate was Ultear's boyfriend, so Meredy trusted him.
Nate glanced at the message.
Meredy's Magic Net nickname was [Maguilty Sense], and she had sent the message to Hades two days ago.
Maguilty Sense: "Hades, I'm leaving the guild."
Maguilty Sense: "I'm going with Ultear."
Precht: "...?"
That was it.
Nate figured Hades must've been confused when he read the message. Nate himself felt a bit puzzled now, wondering how Hades would react.
...
At the Magic Council headquarters, high in the sky, a magic airship belonging to Grimoire Heart sailed through the clouds.
Hades held a staff in his hand, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds, watching the Magic Council ERA far below.
"Go, Capricorn. Bring me the key and Jellal," Hades ordered.
"Yes, Hades-sama."
The man with the sunglasses nodded, clapping his hands together. In an instant, the remaining four members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory disappeared from the deck.
Moments later, a magic propulsion device appeared on Capricorn's back, flames shooting out as he dove down from the thousands of meters above.
Boom!
Soon after, a massive explosion rocked the headquarters of the Magic Council ERA.
