The faces of Masters Goldmine and Bob were filled with shock, which quickly gave way to the sa solemnity Makarov wore.
"What result are you looking for?" Goldmine pushed up his black glasses and asked directly.
On this matter, they had to reach a consensus first.
Only then could they work together effectively when confronting the "Magic Council."
"Reorganize the Council. The mbers must be changed."
Makarov stated his goal seriously.
By now, many other Guild Masters had gathered around their trio, all eyes fixed on Makarov.
"Change them all?" Goldmine asked, skepticism in his tone.
He felt this would be difficult to achieve.
Replacing all the council mbers was indeed overly radical and would likely provoke intense resistance from the "Council."
"If they can't be replaced, they can be transferred." Bob interjected from the side.
He also wanted to strip the council mbers of their positions entirely, but the "Council" would undoubtedly push forward a scapegoat to prevent the situation from escalating.
So, if complete dismissal wasn't possible, demotion or transfer would be acceptable.
"They should all be dismissed! I support Makarov! These people sit in high positions, yet allowed two Dark Mages to infiltrate the Council as mbers. I really don't know what they do all day. It's simply preposterous! Preposterous!"
Obaba, the elderly Guild Master of "Lamia Scale," shouted angrily.
Her furious expression made it look like she wanted to raze the "Magic Council" to the ground.
She kept inciting the Guild Masters around her, seemingly intent on blowing the matter up.
"Iron Rock" Jura Neekis stood by her side, holding onto his Guild Master, trying hard to calm the eighty-year-old woman down.
The surrounding Guild Masters all had different expressions, each with their own thoughts and considerations.
However, they all shared one consensus: the "Magic Council" must be reorganized.
While the Guild Masters held their small eting, Marco and Erza were approached by soone else—a mage from "rmaid Heel."
She had long, straight black hair, wore a white uniform, and carried a long sword at her waist.
It was Simon's younger sister, Kagura Mikazuchi.
"Erza-neesan..."
Looking at Erza, Kagura was emotional.
She no longer wore her usual stern face or the deanor of an ice beauty. Now, she revealed a rare glimpse of her inner vulnerability.
Evidently, Kagura had finally learned of Erza's identity.
The letter sent to "rmaid Heel" had specifically explained the situation regarding Simon, which was why Kagura was so agitated.
"Kagura, have you seen Simon?"
Seeing the emotional Kagura, Erza asked with a smile.
"Not yet." Kagura answered honestly. She had co to attend the eting with her Guild Master and hadn't waited at the guild for her brother Simon to arrive.
"I'm here to seek justice for my brother."
Kagura's face was serious, her tone solemn.
The "Magic Council" definitely bore significant responsibility in this matter.
Since she hadn't been able to go to the "Tower of Heaven" to save her brother Simon, she would at least vent so anger on their behalf regarding this incident.
Actually, Simon, Sho, Millianna, and Wally should have been invited to co along.
As parties involved who had built the tower for eight years, they certainly had the right to speak.
However, the four of them had been part of the minor managent at the "Tower of Heaven," responsible for overseeing the "laborers."
They had enjoyed quite a few privileges during their life there.
To prevent them from being intentionally sared or picked on, Makarov didn't invite them.
Instead, he brought along many of the rescued "laborers."
The general effect would be the sa anyway, and these ordinary "laborers" were actually more representative.
The four of them were currently on their way to the "rmaid Heel" guild.
Once they arrived, the mages of "rmaid Heel" would host them while they waited for Kagura Mikazuchi to return.
"It's all because of that Erza-neesan was captured. I'm sorry..."
Looking at Erza, Kagura looked sincere, recalling the situation back then, tears began to well up in her eyes.
When the people from that "evil cult" went to their village to capture people, Kagura would definitely have been taken too if not for Erza's protection.
She was only seven or eight years old at the ti, powerless to run.
It was Erza who sacrificed herself to lure the enemies away so Kagura could escape.
Erza had changed her life.
"Don't be like that, Kagura. do you think I hate who I am now? quite the opposite; I like everything about my life now. It's because of that experience that I beca who I am today. If I hadn't saved you then, everything might be different now."
Erza smiled and reached out to pat Kagura's head. Kagura was three years younger than her and Marco, only sixteen this year.
Looking at this girl, Erza felt like she was looking at a little sister.
"Erza-neesan..."
Erza's response moved Kagura deeply.
All these years, she had been striving to grow and beco stronger. She had been searching for traces of her brother, wanting to rescue him.
Of course, she hadn't forgotten Erza, the red-haired big sister who had saved her from falling into the abyss.
Towards Erza, who could be said to have suffered in her place, Kagura felt imnse gratitude and guilt.
In front of Erza, she truly seed like a sixteen-year-old little sister rather than the genius mage of "rmaid Heel."
At this mont, she was much more real.
"It seems we all have to thank you. If not for you, Erza wouldn't have co to our 'Fairy Tail'."
Marco chid in with a smile, teasing Kagura.
His words made both Erza and Kagura smile. He wasn't wrong; at least the cause-and-effect relationship was correct.
"Marco-san... thank you for destroying the Tower of Heaven, and thank you for saving my brother. I don't know how to repay you. If there is anything you need to do in the future, please don't hesitate to order . I will do my absolute best to accomplish it!"
After expressing her gratitude and guilt to Erza, Kagura looked at Marco and bowed deeply again in thanks.
Erza had saved her, and Marco had saved her brother.
These two people were the great benefactors of her family.
Towards Erza and Marco, Kagura's attitude was clear: 'Your great kindness cannot be repaid; I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation.'
