Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 512 I really miss that noisy, bustling atmosphere.

Chapter 512 I really miss that noisy, bustling atmosphere.

After making yet another declaration that he would serve as chairman until the end, the appointed Makarov quickly took over the chairman's office and got to work.

Through various documents, he could clearly grasp the trends in the magical world, make a preliminary judgment on the attitude of the Ten Council towards the guilds below, and also take the opportunity to see Laxus's ability to handle problems, as well as the growth of the guild children in the past two and a half years, and so on.

Not only is it the most efficient, but it also achieves multiple benefits at once.

Meanwhile, Chess, along with Mira, Erza, and other members of the Sirius group, stayed in the guild hall to learn about the current era through Marcao and the others.

During the exchange, several partners rushed back from outside.

Apart from a few irrelevant individuals, most of them were still carrying out their commissions as usual. Upon learning of the return of the Sirius Group, they immediately spent double the compensation to interrupt their commissions and frantically gathered towards the guild.

"Waaaaah! Thank goodness, Levy, you're safe and sound!"

"It's all our fault. If only we had gone to Sirius Island with you back then, you wouldn't have been in danger!"

Upon seeing Levy, who looked exactly the same as she had two and a half years ago, Jett and Troy hugged each other tightly and cried their eyes out.

Jeter didn't change much, just looked more mature and weathered, while Troy was broad-shouldered and burly, showing signs of becoming a super-heavyweight seven years later.

"I'm so sorry, I made you worry."

Despite already knowing the two from the future world, Levy's eyes still couldn't help but redden slightly.

She took a deep breath, trying to make her words sound energetic: "The Lane Engine Squad is back in action!"

"Grey, Sassi, I knew you would come back one day!"

Marcus raised his wooden glass and clinked it against Gray's, a broad smile on his face. "But I never expected you to appear with such unchanged appearances."

"Haha, actually there have been some changes."

Gray tilted his head back and downed the drink in one gulp, declaring confidently, "I'm much stronger than before!"

"Really? Then we'll have to find a chance to spar. I'm one of the top players in the guild now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Marcus raised his hand in a showy manner, creating a small sandstorm in his palm.

It wasn't a big deal, but Gray's expression changed instantly, and he looked at it sideways: "You bastard—"

The magic that was released in that fleeting moment was even more powerful than that of Marcus in the future world seven years later. Even he, who had activated his second magic source, felt a sense of oppression!

"Mr. Dark Magician's training guide saved me from many detours," Marcus said, putting away the sandstorm and revealing the truth.

Not only him, but also the other members of the guild worked desperately to become stronger in order to preserve the guild's honor and to ensure that the Sirius Group could find its way home when it returned. With the help of the cultivation guide, they all forged their own paths.

"I see," Gray said, suddenly realizing.

"That guy playing in the sand, you have such poor taste!"

Juvia suddenly appeared from some dark corner and joined their conversation, "Lord Gray has become even more handsome~!"

"Aha, ahahaha."

Seeing Juvia, who was righteous and indignant one second and then turned to Gray with hearts in her eyes the next, Marcus gave an awkward laugh.

"So, you two, like Chase and the others, have already confirmed your relationship?" Ridas, who had become slender, walked over with a paintbrush in hand.

A calm remark caused Gray to spit out his drink on the spot: "Who told you this guy and I are a couple?!"

"That's right, Juvia isn't Lord Gray's girlfriend, but his wife who's going to have thirty children!"

Gray:

On the other side, Erza stood with one hand on her hip, looking at Nob and Bigetta who had both rushed back at the same time with an approving expression.

"Nob, I heard you're the most proactive in taking on commissions in the guild now. That's impressive. You also look strong and healthy."

"Pigita, your style has become much more fashionable than before!"

The two of them took a completely different path from the future world. Nob, wearing a chieftain's headdress, was all muscle and not as pot-bellied as he was in the future world. Bigita, on the other hand, had changed out of her countless dancer outfits and her flowing metal jacket was quite eye-catching.

However, his persona of liking to dance regardless of the occasion has remained.

Nob and Bigita were flattered and, more than anything, touched by the praise from their usually strict and demanding guild leader.

Meanwhile, Elfman, Lisana, and Gajeel were surrounded by their former companions, who chattered incessantly, sharing their experiences with each other.

Mira and Eclair, dressed as waitresses, moved through the crowd, serving everyone various fine wines and delicacies as usual.

At the bar, Chess, Laxus, and Gildarts sat side by side.

"I really miss this noisy atmosphere." Laxus turned to look at the vibrant guild and couldn't help but sigh.

Having grown accustomed to two and a half years of unchanging, deathly silence, he felt incredibly at ease when he returned to this long-unseen environment.

"Oh? If I remember correctly, you didn't think that way before."

Chase, mimicking the rebellious Laxus, put on a sour face and teased, "You're all as annoying as flies, why don't you weaklings just get out of the guild already!"

Upon hearing this, Laxus instantly lost his composure, his face turning bright red, wishing he could go back in time and slap himself twice over.

What he didn't know was that this was actually a possibility: all he had to do was run to the guild's library to organize the bookshelves, and then accidentally get hit on the head by a forbidden book that fell down.

"Hahaha, I heard it from Kana. You seemed to have gotten quite a beating from that kid Chase, right?"

Gildarts, always eager for drama, patted Laxus on the shoulder. "Starting a civil war and getting soundly beaten up is just so lame!"

"I didn't expect that you, uncle, didn't even know that your own daughter had been in the guild for so long," Laxus retorted forcefully.

If I can't handle Chase, that cunning card player with no flaws, surely I can handle you?

Upon hearing this, Gildarts immediately stopped laughing.

As they were talking, a black curtain, visible to the naked eye, suddenly drifted past behind the three of them, emanating a strong negative emotion.

"Wendy? What's wrong with the child?" Gildarts asked quickly.

The intention to change the subject was quite obvious, but neither Chase nor Laxus paid much attention, because they were also surprised by Wendy's listless appearance with her head down.
