In the new headquarters of the "Fairy Tail" guild, the "Thunder Dragon Slayer" Laxus, known as the strongest S-class, and his "Thunder Gods" subordinates are still on the tavern stage on the first floor of the guild castle. He was facing off against the rest of the "Fairy Tail" members, including the president Makarov.
They just stood next to the petrified stone statues of Mirajane and Elfman, threatening their personal safety, so that no matter how angry everyone under the stage was, they did not dare to confront them because they were afraid of them. They attacked in groups.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
After reaching out to signal everyone else to stop talking, the president, Makarov, looked so sullen. While looking at the petrified siblings Mirajane and Elfman, he slowly walked forward and said directly Walked to the stage.
"Say it!"
"Laxus..."
"What do you want to do when you come back this time?!"
Then he raised his head and asked in a deep voice to Laxus and the other party's escort team, the Thunder Gods, who were standing on the stage.
"snort!"
"Why, wasn't what I just said very clear?"
"Well!"
"Then let me say it again: the thing is very simple, old man, I just think that you are very old. The last war with the "Ghost Ruler" has already shown some problems, isn't it? So, I think you should retire...and maybe you should hand over the position of president earlier? "
"in my opinion……"
"The position of "Fairy Tail" guild leader should be held by the strongest person in the guild, instead of being given to that little girl as you casually announced before? "
"but me……"
"It happens to be the strongest one!"
To be honest, Laxus's original plan was not to rush into the palace like this.
He originally planned to set up a game first, and then take advantage of the opportunity when the members of "Fairy Tail" returned to participate in the festival, to wipe out the entire guild and establish that Laxus himself was the strongest mage!
Then, he naturally and legitimately took over the position of president of the stubborn old man, and then led the stronger ones he selected to make his "Fairy Tail" guild bigger and stronger, making it truly a The strongest guild in the entire kingdom and even the entire continent!
Instead of like now, although it is nominally known as one of the best in the kingdom, when you look around, you can see that the whole room is full of the kind of rabble that fails to succeed but fails to succeed! So much so that even trash like "Iron Forest" or "Ghost Ruler" dare to step on their "Fairy Tail" head casually!
And that kind of thing, Laxus, couldn't accept it no matter what, and he had already endured it for a long, long time.
"!!"
(ー`′ー)
"What if I leave it to others? Do you want to fight?"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o
The other party interrupted the performance and petrified Sister Mira and the big guy Elfman. He even repeatedly slandered himself in front of everyone. The most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most, the most powerful, Queen Anne, how could Anne endure that kind of thing?
"If you have the guts, come down here and see if they don't beat you up all over your head!!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
In Annie's opinion, isn't the strongest person in the guild referring to herself?
Therefore, she hurriedly walked forward and ran to the side of the bad old man Makarov. She waved her little fist and threatened, and if she had any disagreement, she would hit the stage with a shining spear. That impulse.
Of course, Annie just has such an impulse for the time being, and she will definitely not do that for the time being.
Because, there are two stupid guys, Sister Mira and Elfman, up there. She will definitely not hit it wrongly, but if Tibbers accidentally hits it wrongly... then, those two guys above An unlucky guy will definitely be smashed to pieces!
When the time comes, once those two people are really broken up, it will be difficult for her to clean up the mess with her current strength.

(●￣(?)￣●)
"snort!"
"I don't know what the so-called brat is!"
"Do you think I have no way to restrain your fairy magic and gigantic skills that can transform people?"
Hearing that a little girl in the audience dared to speak nonsense to him, Laxus responded without any politeness at all, and actually summoned thunder in his hand, as if he really wanted to talk to a certain girl. What does it mean to compete with the so-called president and the first heir?
"Then you're down!!"
ψ(*｀ー′)ψ
Anne really didn't believe that the other party had thought of a way to restrain her fairy magic so quickly. Therefore, she was ready. Once the other party came down, once the other party entered her casting range, she would use that powerful weapon. The magic that shapes reality and changes the essential structure of the world turns the other person into a toad, and then stuffs it into a bottle to keep company with some tentacle monsters?
At that time, after the other party has been trained by some spicy ancient evil gods for a period of time, they will surely have a deep understanding of what kind of powerful existence she, Queen Anne, is!
"enough!"
However, before Laxus came down, before a little girl who was eager to try took action, a red-haired woman with a heroic face shouted out in time to stop the two of them.
"Laxus!"
"Listen to me! No matter what decision the president made before, that is not the reason why you came here to make trouble today!"
"I advise you to release Mirajane and Elfman immediately!"
"otherwise……"
"I swear I will never forgive you!!"
Although the injuries on her body have not fully recovered, and although most of her body is still bandaged, Erza still stood up from the crowd in anger, and directly summoned her " Armor of the Thunder Emperor, holding a long and cool spear, pointing at Laxus on the stage and yelling.
"Erza is right!"
"If you dare to hurt Mira, I will definitely beat you up with my fist!!"
Seeing that the president, a certain troubled little girl, and Erza had already stood up to express their opinions, Natsu naturally stood up not to be outdone, and at the same time, fierce dragon fire began to burn on his fists.
"besides!"
"Compared to a poor guy like you, I, Natsu, am actually more willing to support Annie to become the president!"
In fact, Natsu doesn't mind who becomes the president at all, because it's not his turn anyway, and he doesn't want to be the president at all!
but……
No matter who it was, Laxus couldn't do it! He just didn't like the arrogant and domineering guy in Laxus, even more so than the exhibitionist Gray! So, he doesn't care so much, he just opposes for the sake of opposition, even if he elects a worse person than the other party to be the president!
"You don't know yet, right?"
"Annie secretly promised me that if she becomes the guild president, she can let me eat and drink for free in the guild every day!"
"This alone is much better than a terrible guy like you!"
As he spoke, Natsu, who had never been able to hide things in his heart, actually exposed some shameful transactions in front of the public, and then grinned innocently, completely ignoring his surroundings. Everyone looked at him with disdain and shock in their eyes.
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
have to!
At this moment, Annie didn't know what to say, and her original desire to fight was extinguished in an instant.
(…)
(￢?￢.)
'! ! '
'What? '
'Is there such a thing? '
'No way? '
At this time, many members of the "Fairy Tail" guild, who were still filled with indignation against Laxus, turned towards Natsu and a certain little girl who suddenly had a dark face and some sarcasm on her face in shock. Looked over.
"What are you looking at!"
?(?`^′?)?
“Isn’t it normal to run for office, be president of the association, etc., and give money and promise benefits to those who vote?!”
o(*｀ー′)o
Anne didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did. Anyway, she learned those tricks from the people on earth. Those methods that people on earth can use, why can't she, Queen Anne, use them?
'this……'
'That's right! '
'However, if Anne dares to make such a promise to the rest of us, maybe I will also support her as president? '
'Ha ha! '
'I can do it too! '
'Shut up, Alzhak, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak! '
'Tsk! '
'But don't tell me Kana, that condition is indeed quite tempting. '
'It would be nice if we could add some conditions...'
'you! '
'hateful! Is now the time to discuss that? '
'Hey hey! '
'Lebby, why are you angry? '
'But I think if Laxus gives the same conditions, there might be a lot of people supporting him? '
'Not always……'
'How to say? '
'I'm telling you...'
'...'
Then, of course, after a short period of silence, the "Fairy Tail" guild members began to discuss intensely, either loudly or quietly.
"okay!"
"Everyone be quiet first!"
Finally, I saw that my grandson was determined, that a certain little guy had secretly started arranging and bribing some important members of the guild without even knowing when, and that other people had really started to discuss the matter on the spot like a serious matter. After getting up, Makarov finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily on the spot, finally using his prestige as the current president to calm the situation.
However, after calming everyone down, he soon languished again, and the angry expression he originally looked at Laxus could not help but gradually turned into desolate and lonely, as if he had aged several years in an instant.
"I see!"
"It seems that each of you is counting on me to retire quickly..."
A certain little girl has said that she wants to retire and get out as soon as possible from the day she joined the guild, and several old friends in her council, Ajima and Porushka, have also said so. Such an idea is to persuade me to retire early and stop working for the "Fairy Tail" guild.
"well……."
But now, seeing that his own grandson has begun to openly oppose him, and seeing that so many people are vaguely looking forward to kissing the president during the discussion, Makarov can't help but feel a little jealous at this moment. Feeling discouraged and sighing exhaustedly at the same time
"That's fine!"
"I know what to do."
Finally, after pondering for a long time, Makarov suddenly tensed up his face, raised his head, and looked at the grandson on the stage who came with his men to force him into the palace.
"but……"
"Since Laxus, you just said that the leader of the Fairy Tail Guild can only be the strongest person, then... I will satisfy your request!"
"Everyone!"
With that said, Makarov no longer paid attention to the expression of the slightly surprised grandson on the stage, and turned directly to look at the little girls Annie, Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Lucy in front of him. , Kana and a lot of other familiar faces, and then said loudly:
"I now make it official!"
"Wait until next month, when the annual Harvest Festival is held, we will hold the first "Ghost" Castle ruins on the sea in Magnolia City, that is, on the sea behind the guild. "Tail" Tourney! "
"The competition will adopt a one-round KO elimination system, and anyone can participate!"
"By the time……"
"The final winner will not only receive the title of the strongest mage of "Fairy Tail", but will also be the next official fourth-generation president of "Fairy Tail"! ! "
Makarov used amplification magic so that his voice could be heard by everyone present.
To be honest, although Laxus is very powerful, Makarov is left with the position of commander to a man who has a bad temper and is not good at communicating with others. He often acts alone, and his interpersonal relationships are limited to He must be worried about the grandson of his subordinates, the Thunder Gods!
Therefore, seeing that the situation at the scene was not good, seeing that Erza and the others would fight with Laxus and others if they had a disagreement, seeing that Mirajane and Elfman were likely to be harmed in the battle. Implicated, Makarov had no choice but to make such a decision as he did not want to let "Fairy Tail" fall into civil strife.
In his opinion, if a competition is used to determine the winner and succeed him as the guild leader, he will definitely be more convincing! By then, even Laxus, the other party won't have any complaints, right?
Anyway, Makarov didn't think that his grandson would be the final winner. Of course, a little girl might not be either... maybe, it would be Erza and Mistagon? Of course, it's also possible for Natsu, a guy with unlimited potential!
The reason why he just set the time for the Harvest Festival in a month's time was not only because he had to make some preparations and invite a few powerful old friends to come to the scene for guidance and to prevent unexpected events, but also because he wanted to make Erza The thought of waiting for someone to quickly recover from his injuries.
'! ! '
'President? '
'Old man, are you serious? '
'What? ! '
'No way……'
'interesting! '
'Is it open to everyone? '
'I agree! '
'Me too! The president will retire one day. If the strongest person becomes the president, I will definitely have no objection! '
'marvelous! '
'Joust! '
'Joust! ! '
Soon, after hearing Makarov's words, the guild members present, except for Erza, Natsu, Lucy and others who found it difficult to accept it, all of them started to cheer loudly after being stunned for a while. stand up.
"Hey! Damn old man, you said you were going to let me take the blame back then, and now you change your mind!?"
ε?(????)?з
However, Anne would definitely not be happy with this kind of thing, because, the position of president had been agreed upon before and would be given to her, but now, the other party suddenly changed his mind, how could she be happy?
Even if she knew that she was definitely the strongest one in the guild!
"..."
However, Makarov ignored Annie's questions and protests, but turned around and looked at his grandson Laxus on the stage again.
"Now, are you satisfied?"
This is the biggest compromise that Makarov can make at present. If Laxus still insists on having his own way, I'm afraid he will have to risk everything and use his unstable magic power to win down the three opponents. .
"..."
"Ah!"
"interesting!"
"Then, it's as you wish...Abby Green, remove the petrification!"
After looking at his own grandfather and the old man Makarov for a while, Laxus suddenly laughed, and then with a move of his hands, he let the Abag next to him have the ability to petrify everything he saw. Lin removes the petrification magic from the two hostages left behind, Mirajane and Elfman.
