Chapter 37 The Teachings of Chairman Makarov
"Is there something you need, President?"
Walking up to Chairman Makarov, Shirou Kotomine asked in confusion.
Shirou Kotomine had a very good first impression of Chairman Makarov.
Although he rarely communicated with the other party, he could always feel the care that Guild Master Makarov showed to all guild members.
In Kotomine Shirou's mind, he was undoubtedly a very reliable person.
"Shirou, you seem to be in a hurry. Is something important chasing you?"
Makarov inquired.
Upon hearing this, Shirou Kotomine was immediately stunned.
He then chuckled helplessly, "Was I that obvious?"
"Hahaha, it's not a matter of whether it's obvious or not, it's that you never even tried to hide it!"
Makarov laughed and shook his head.
"It's not just me, I think everyone else in the guild can see it too!"
"I guess so?"
Makarov, suddenly remembering Natsu and the others, became somewhat insecure.
Although all of my family's new generation of children have immense potential, they don't seem to be that outstanding in terms of intelligence!
There are more idiots than fools.
As a result, Makarov, who had been so confident just moments before, began to sweat.
"I see."
With his head bowed, Shirou Kotomine failed to notice Makarov's embarrassment.
He was deep in thought at that moment.
How should he answer if Makarov asks him about something?
It is to continue weaving lies.
Or should I answer truthfully?
Fairy Tail is a guild with a relaxed and wonderful atmosphere.
Here, Shirou Kotomine had already come to regard everyone as his comrades.
He trusts these people a lot.
"Stop! Don't overthink it. I'm not here to ask about your past."
As an elder with rich life experience.
Makarov knew exactly what the boy was thinking.
He bluntly stated, "I don't know if you're aware, but most members of Fairy Tail have their own secrets or unforgettable pasts."
"But we never care about these things. Once you join Fairy Tail, you're one of our comrades."
"So I called you here not to dig into your past, but to help you get out of the mire of your past."
After hearing Makarov's words, Shirou Kotomine was completely stunned.
Makarov continued.
"Bring out all the notebooks where you've recorded the questions."
"Honestly, you have me, the top mage on the continent, and instead of asking for help, you insist on messing with Mirajane and Erza. Isn't that going the long way around?"
"Come on, today I'll show you my magical skills!"
As he spoke, Makarov began to roll up his sleeves.
Deeply moved by the enthusiastic old man before him, Shirou Kotomine quickly took out his notebook containing his questions and earnestly sought Makarov's advice.
Faced with Shirou Kotomine's question, Makarov finally understood why Mirajane and Erza were so easily defeated.
These questions are indeed difficult for them to answer, as they are only using magic.
But for Makarov, it was no problem at all.
Many questions that Mirajane and Erza had to ponder deeply, Makarov could answer quickly without even thinking about them.
Furthermore, his answer was extremely concise and refined.
Kotomine Shirou understood it completely at a glance.
This greatly surprised and delighted Shirou Kotomine.
Makarov was also very happy at this moment.
As the guild leader, almost all the members in the guild today were personally trained by him.
In order to better fulfill his responsibilities as president, he studied various magical techniques diligently back then.
It is precisely because of his diligent teaching that Fairy Tail has developed step by step to where it is today.
But in recent years, almost all the new generation in the guild are genius teenagers.
They grew up quickly and gradually stopped coming to Makarov for advice.
To be honest, it had been a long time since he had taught others with such enjoyment.
Now, he has rediscovered those feelings in Shirou Kotomine.
So the old man and the young man sat there, asking and answering questions, completely absorbed in the learning atmosphere, oblivious to everyone else.
Seeing this, the other members of the guild couldn't help but smile.
And they all consciously lowered their voices.
No one wanted to disturb the two of them.
.
Makarov's instruction of Shirou Kotomine lasted for two days.
In just two days, Shirou Kotomine had accumulated two large notebooks of questions, and all the new questions that arose during those two days as the questions were answered were also eliminated.
Such efficiency was previously unattainable.
In the past two days, Shirou Kotomine's magical abilities have increased dramatically.
Although it had only been two days, he was now completely different from before in terms of his magical cultivation level.
That's enough for now!
In the evening, after finishing his teaching work, Makarov, still looking like he hadn't had enough, stood up and said to Shirou Kotomine, "Go find Mirajane and Erza to solve the remaining problems."
Over the past two days, Makarov has helped Shirou Kotomine complete his basic magic skills.
And he raised his skill level to a level that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.
After all, although Shirou Kotomine has little experience, he has read a lot of books in the Fairy Tail library.
This is also why his questions keep coming.
Makarov answered most of Shirou Kotomine's questions.
All that remains are profound understandings of receiving magic and changing magic, questions that can only be answered by top mages who are masters of receiving and changing magic.
However, there aren't many problems left, and Mirajane and Erza are skilled enough to solve them quickly.
"Thank you, President!"
Looking at Makarov standing on the counter, Shirou Kotomine immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Although the elderly Makarov has become short in stature, he is still so great in the eyes of Shirou Kotomine.
"As I've said, this is my responsibility as the president."
After patting Shirou Kotomine on the shoulder, Makarov turned and walked outside.
"Oh, right!"
Makarov suddenly stopped in his tracks just as he reached the door.
His demands followed.
Please be careful!
"We'll all be waiting for you to come back."
Although Shirou Kotomine didn't say anything, Makarov already had a rough idea.
After all, many of Shirou Kotomine's questions and ideas were things that Makarov had never thought of, and those ideas were all very mature.
Clearly, Shirou Kotomine received magic education.
But that was magical knowledge from another world, vastly different from the magical practices of this world.
In addition, there's Kotomine Shirou's thirst for power.
Makarov had a general idea of Shirou Kotomine's situation and the problems he faced.
After all, there is another character in Fairy Tail whose experience is very similar to that of Shirou Kotomine.
That is Mystogan, one of the five S-class mages of Fairy Tail.
"Don't worry, I will definitely return here safely, back to Fairy Tail!"
Looking up at Makarov's retreating figure, Shirou Kotomine spoke earnestly.
"Okay! Make sure to say goodbye before you leave, don't just sneak away."
Makarov nodded slightly.
He then left the guild.
Only Kotomine Shirou remained standing there, gazing intently at the spot where he had disappeared.
"Yes, Chairman!"
