"Hey, Gajeel!!"
Natsu stopped Gajeel, who had just regained his mobility, and asked the question he had been thinking about for a long ti.
"Where did you learn your Dragon Slayer Magic?"
Gajeel was stunned by the question. He seed to think of sothing unpleasant, tilted his head, and looked impatient.
"Tch, who knows."
"Ha—?!"
Natsu instantly flared up, veins throbbing on his forehead. "You bastard, your attitude is too perfunctory! Do you want to fight again?"
"If you want to fight, let's fight! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
Gajeel raised an eyebrow and imdiately rolled up his sleeves, his eyes fierce. "This ti, I'll definitely flatten you!!!"
Thud!!!
The two stared at each other like bulls, neither willing to yield a step. Finally, they slamd their heads together, making a crisp sound.
Ron stood not far away, listening to the echo and nodding secretly: Hmm, that sound, you can tell those are two good heads... "Hiss—ow ow ow ow ow!!!"
Natsu clutched his swollen forehead and hopped back two steps in pain, tears almost bursting out.
Soon he looked at Gajeel again, his eyes full of persistence.
"You bastard, this is the first ti I've t soone who uses Dragon Slayer Magic like ."
"It wouldn't hurt to tell , would it? I really... want to know."
Seeing Natsu's 'if you don't tell , I'll pester you to death' expression, Gajeel curled his lip.
"Tsk, what a pain..."
He was silent for a few seconds and muttered in a low voice.
"The Iron Dragon... talicana."
Natsu's pupils shrank suddenly, and a look of excited ecstasy instantly appeared on his face!
Just as the two were exchanging information like elentary school students.
As expected, the Council ca to arrest people.
The Enforcent Unit, the Rune Knights, directly surrounded the scene. Both Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord mbers were taken to the military camp for questioning and investigation one by one.
However, unlike the interrogation in the original plot.
The Phantom Lord mbers collectively turned against their leader and chose to beco state witnesses. All responsibility was perfectly pushed onto the escaped Jose.
This investigation lasted only three days before ending hastily.
Regarding the Council's handling of the matter, it was not much different from the original plot. With the help of Makarov's friend, Council mber Yajima.
Fairy Tail was found innocent, while Phantom Lord was forcibly disbanded. Jose was stripped of his title as one of the Ten Wizard Saints and was wanted by the Council for fleeing to avoid punishnt.
During the investigation, Ron made a trip to Magnolia.
He used the Arc of Ti to restore the buildings damaged by the battle one by one. As for the Phantom Lord Guild Branch, it remained a pile of ruins, completely untouched.
Phantom Lord mbers: "Wait, what? Why didn't you restore our guild while you were at it?! You guys were the ones who smashed it! Are you discriminating against us?!"
Ron curled his lip: "Please, we're rival guilds. Besides, your guild has been disbanded. What do you need a base for? To breed mosquitoes?"
Phantom Lord mbers: "...you have a point. I'm truly speechless."
Ron: "And I haven't even restored my own guild, so what are you complaining about?"
...
After everything ended and they returned to Magnolia from the military camp.
Looking at the guild building in front of them, which was full of patches.
"So Ron... why didn't you restore our guild?"
Facing everyone's confusion, Ron put his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes slightly, wearing a disappointed expression of 'you don't understand .'
"Restore? Why restore it?"
Ron pointed to the building in front of him with a look of grief and indignation.
"Look at Phantom Lord. Even one of their branches was bigger than our guild. Does that make sense?"
"Who are we? We are Fairy Tail, the kingdom's number one guild! How can we be shabbier than Phantom Lord?!"
At this point, he waved his hand with grand ambition.
"So, of course, we're tearing it down and rebuilding! Old man, don't you think that's the way to go?"
Makarov pinched his chin and nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm, put that way, we really should rebuild."
"But..."
Natsu scratched his head and was about to say 'it was fine before,' but Ron grabbed his mouth.
"Since we're rebuilding, it naturally has to be bigger than before."
Ron paused and swept his gaze across the crowd.
"We'll also add so new facilities, like an outdoor swimming pool!"
"Nani?!"
The few perverts led by Macao and Wakaba, their eyes lit up instantly, their pupils turning into beating hearts.
"An o-outdoor swimming pool?! Really, Ron?!"
"Cough, cough!"
A group of people imdiately cleared their throats pretentiously.
"Speaking of which, the guild was destroyed to that extent, so tearing it down and rebuilding is really the only option!"
"Yeah, yeah, although it's a bit sad, it can't be helped!"
"Exactly, the current guild is too cramped. It's better to have it bigger..."
"..."
Ron looked at these guys who instantly changed sides and spoke against their hearts, laughing inwardly:
Heh, n.
Don't I know you guys?
Everyone started discussing the guild's blueprint with great enthusiasm.
"Should we add a BBQ area next to the pool? I think it's very necessary!"
"The materials must be the strongest! The blast-proof kind!"
"Uh... is this so the guild won't break easily when fighting in the future?"
"..."
Noise, laughter, teasing... Everyone returned to their usual happy daily lives. The shadow of the battle had long been kicked out of their minds, as if the war with Phantom Lord wasn't a few days ago, but sothing from a past life.
Once the blueprint was decided, the rebuilding work began in full swing.
"Hi—yah!!!"
Natsu shouted and imdiately shouldered several huge logs.
However, the next second.
Amidst a crashing sound, he was buried by the collapsing wood, with only a tuft of stubborn pink hair sticking out.
Gray, shirtless, walked past elegantly with a piece of timber on one shoulder.
He glanced at Natsu, who was floundering in the woodpile, and a smirk of mockery appeared on his lips:
"Idiot, who told you to take so much at once? Don't you know not to bite off more than you can chew?"
"What did you say?!"
With a "crash," the timber exploded, and Natsu rushed out, headbutting Gray's forehead.
"Do you want to fight?! Droopy-eyes bastard!"
"Co on! I'm not afraid of you! Slanted-eyes idiot!"
The two were nose to nose, fire and cold air clashing violently in the air, crackling.
"You two..."
A low, dangerous, and bone-chilling voice echoed faintly behind them.
Natsu and Gray froze, their scalps tingling, as they turned their heads chanically.
They saw Erza standing behind them in work clothes.
She carried a huge piece of timber on her shoulder, suddenly bent down, and gave each of them a heavy blow to the head.
"Instead of arguing, get back to work."
"Yes, we're going right now."
The two instantly turned into good boys, clutching their heads and running off in different directions, their movents so synchronized and practiced it was heartbreaking.
And behind a broken wall not far away.
A pair of large, glowing eyes was staring fixedly at Gray's bare torso.
