Fairy Tail: I've Been Guildmaster Starting 100 Years Ago Chapter 243: FTG - 241: A Century-Long Plan

"The site is settled, but what about teaching resources?"

"We can find financing from Queen Lily and the Council!"

Thinking that he might actually be able to build a magic academy in Magnolia, Weston’s spirits soared, and all sorts of bold and wild ideas kept jumping out of his mind.

"Don’t forget, I am the Chief Imperial Court Wizard of the Kingdom of Fiore and a Wizard Saint certified by the Council!"

"With this kind of reputation, is it too much to pull in so investnt?"

"We only need to allow the Royal Family and the Council to send people to the academy occasionally for advancent. Once those wizards graduate, they will naturally feel grateful for their kindness and choose to serve the Royal Family or the Council to repay the debt of their sponsorship."

"This can also serve as a career path for the wizards in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Mavis indeed lowered her head to think seriously.

After careful consideration, she found that with Weston’s current influence in the magic world, he really seed able to achieve these things!

With a ready-made piece of land and the Royal Family and Council providing money and effort, the next thing was the faculty strength.

Zera asked: "Where will we find teachers? And where will we recruit students?"

Weston smiled confidently: "There’s even less to worry about there!"

"Once there’s an academy, are you afraid there won’t be teachers and students?"

"With the prestige of Fairy Tail in the magic world, a bit of simple advancent is all it takes. I’m certain the number of people signing up will be over a hundred tis the current mbership of our guild!"

Seeing Weston’s high-spirited look, the two won were montarily dazed, as if they had returned to the days on Tenrou Island when Weston made the grand boast that he would make Fairy Tail the number one magic guild in the world.

"No matter what decision you make, we support you!!"

The three of them quietly enjoyed a mont of peace.

Suddenly, Mavis spoke up again: "Speaking of which, if the academy is really built, are you going to be the Principal?"

"Of course! Who else but for the Principal’s seat?"

"Then what about the guild?"

"Building an academy isn’t sothing that happens overnight. Even if everything goes according to my plan, it will take at least two or three years."

"During this ti, I will naturally still handle guild affairs."

"As for afterward... I’ll balance both if I can. If it’s really impossible, I’ll let Precht succeed as the Second Generation Master of the guild!"

Mavis blinked her bright, large eyes: "Eh? I thought you were going to say you’d let take over..."

"You?"

Weston gave a wicked smile, raised his hand, and with a smack, patted his lovely wife’s pert backside: "What are you thinking? You are obviously going to be with forever!"

"Since I’m the Principal, you naturally have to co and be my Vice-Principal!"

Seeing this, Zera was not to be outdone. Her arms imdiately reached out to hook around Weston’s neck: "What about ?"

"Dean of Students!"

Weston blurted out an answer, likewise reaching out his restless claws toward his beautiful consort with a grin: "Isn’t it only natural for the Principal and the Dean to be lovers?"

"Eww~~"

In the next room.

The sleeping Darwin rolled over, letting out a mumble: "So noisy..."

...

The next day.

Weston notified his partners in the guild about his plan to build a magic academy.

As expected, this news imdiately triggered a massive earthquake within the guild.

"What?!"

"Weston, what do you an by building a magic academy and being the Principal?"

"Master, are you going to abandon us?"

"Didn’t you say back then that you would lead Fairy Tail to beco the world’s number one magic guild? What do you an now? Are you planning to just quit?!"

The decision to build a magic academy was too sudden for everyone in the guild.

Among them, the ones with the strongest reactions were Yuri and Precht.

Back then, they had been attracted by Weston’s "ambitious dream," giving up their status as bounty hunters to beco successful wizards. Now that Weston was suddenly going to start so "Fairy Academy," they couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

"Of course not!"

With a boom, Weston slamd his fist onto the table.

"I founded Fairy Tail with everyone’s help and developed it to where it is today. It’s like my ho, my child."

"How could I abandon my own ho, my own child?"

Hearing this, everyone’s mood finally began to settle, and they quieted down to listen to his explanation.

"Making Fairy Tail bigger and stronger, making the guild the number one magic guild in the world—that is still my life goal!"

Weston said, turning his point around, "However, do you know how long it would take to achieve that goal at Fairy Tail’s current rate of developnt?"

"One hundred years!!"

"At our guild’s current rate, if we want to beco ’World Number One,’ it will take at least another hundred years!!"

Hearing this number, the wizards were instantly speechless.

One hundred years?

What a long ti!

A hundred years from now, they would all be long gone. Even if Fairy Tail really beca number one then, they wouldn’t see it.

So that was it...

The Master was worried that he might not realize his dream in his lifeti and was feeling anxious, so he wanted to speed up the guild’s developnt!

"But what is the relationship between making the guild world number one and opening a magic school?"

Irene stood out from the crowd.

To her, a hundred years was indeed not short, but it wasn’t unacceptable either.

At the very least, she felt she would be able to see the mont Fairy Tail beca world number one, so she couldn’t relate to the "sense of urgency" Weston was displaying.

Weston glanced at her and gave a light huff.

"The relationship is huge!"

"To beco the world’s number one magic guild, one needs sufficient strength."

"Currently, Fairy Tail is supported by us few, and the next generation has Chris, Darwin, Erza, and Makarov taking over. But what about the eras after that?"

"Who can guarantee that Fairy Tail will always produce talent?"

"We can’t!"

"But if we open a magic school, recruit students, and train them from a young age, then absorb them directly into the guild after they graduate, wouldn’t that be much easier?"

"This is a century-long plan that can keep the guild strong forever!"

Everyone pondered carefully and felt that what Weston said indeed made a lot of sense.

"But how do you ensure that the students will definitely join the guild after graduation?"

Weston looked at the person who asked with a look reserved for idiots: "Fairy Academy will be built right next to Magnolia in the future. The only magic guild in Magnolia is our Fairy Tail, and both the Academy Principal and the Guild Master are !"

"Under these circumstances, if I can’t even handle the small task of absorbing graduating students into the guild, I’ll give you the title of ’Fairy Commander’ directly!"
