Chapter 27 Makarov is actually this kind of person!
Chapter 27 Makarov is actually this kind of person!
Hughes's extremely arrogant provocation caused the atmosphere in the guild to suddenly freeze. After Natsu and the others exchanged sinister glances, the magical power in each of them began to flow.
"Hey! Hey! Hey, the guild is newly established!"
Makarov, sitting at the bar, put down his glass and sighed.
One sentence brought the members at the top to their senses. Hughes stared at them, feeling awkward and caught in a dilemma.
Makarov wasn't one to pour cold water on things; after sighing, he continued speaking.
"Let's fight! What kind of Fairy Tail is it if we don't make a fuss? Consider this a welcome to Hughes, Mira, Lisanna, and Elfman for joining the guild."
"However, you can't use magic, and you can't use your fire abilities either, Hughes."
"Put some effort into it, Hughes is incredibly strong!"
Makarov's agreement made everyone's eyes light up, and their eagerness to get started returned.
"Oh, I'm fired up!"
The raging fire dragon took the lead, leaping out from the crowd and clenching its small fist in mid-air before punching Hughes in the face.
Hughes has always preferred opponents who are aggressive and unrestrained.
Why do you ask? Because it doesn't require using your brain!
With a light step, Hughes shifted his entire body, tilting his neck to the side, and easily dodged Natsu's punch.
"Kid, you still have a lot to learn!"
Hughes opened his palm upwards, grabbed Natsu's scarf, let him experience the spinning carriage, and then threw Natsu out like a cannonball.
Makarov's gaze followed the trajectory of Natsu as he was thrown through the air. A moment later, his hand touched his heart. The newly rebuilt guild roof had been ripped open with a large hole.
He's so stupid, he actually thought that forbidding Natsu and the others from using magic would prevent the guild from being destroyed...
"Go easy on you bastards! The guild was just rebuilt!"
Makarov's roar was like background noise, always automatically filtered out by Natsu and the others, never reaching their ears.
Of course, now we need to add one more person.
Hughes, caught up in the moment, glanced behind him and saw that Wakaba and Macao had already crept up to him.
Just as Hughes was about to finish them off, Erza and Gray charged in from the right.
To his left, a group of guild members whose names Hughes couldn't recall converged on him and launched a combined attack.
Good heavens, they've even resorted to feints...
Since that's the case, then... an iron block.
Covered in a perfect-grade iron block, Hughes advanced instead of retreating, grinning as he charged toward the left side where the largest number of people were.
"Bang!"
The crowd was thrown into chaos, with people being tossed about.
"Ah! So hard, Hughes is so hard!"
"It hurts, be gentle!"
"I can't take it anymore..."
With a perfect-level iron block protecting him, and his physical attributes having been enhanced twice by the system, Hughes easily defeated them and forced them to surrender.
What a joke! He's cheating; what does he have to fear no matter how many opponents he faces?
With his arms crossed, Hughes looked at Gray, Macao, and the others who had slowed their pace slightly: "You guys want to dance too?"
"??"
"What are you talking about, Hughes? We're here to rescue our families!!" Macao forcefully helped the unharmed Wakaba to his feet, pretending to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Me too!!"
"Hughes, let's have another match!"
There are more experts?
Marcao and the others paused their actions briefly, looking back with hope, only to see Natsu once again blasted away by Hughes.
It's Natsu, that's normal... Those who couldn't see any hope of defeating Hughes continued to pretend to leave the battlefield.
......
The brand-new guild slowly crumbled under the rampage of Hughes and his men.
Makarov feels his pension is about to shrink again.
Mira, who hadn't joined the battle, finally remembered what she needed to do after dodging several slippers that came out of nowhere.
He walked through the smoke-filled battlefield, took out the folded bills from his body, and handed them to Makarov, whose face did not look good.
"President, this is what Granny Poliusika asked me to teach you."
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands..." Makarov's voice trembled more and more as he counted. He didn't understand why Hughes' medical expenses would cost 2000 million J.
[Mental stabilizing agent: 1 million J/vial, 20 vials total.]
[Nutritional supplement: 1 million J/vial, 3 vials total.]
"It should have been 2300 million J, but Granny Poliusica gave us a discount and only charged 2000 million J," Mira kindly reminded her from the side.
"It's all gone, all gone, my pension is gone..." As Makarov gradually turned into a stone statue, his heart died along with it.
"Actually, Chairman, Hughes can pay for this! You can pay for it first, and then deduct it from his commission for completed tasks!"
Mira's suggestion brought Makarov back to his senses, and he looked at Mira in disbelief.
"Mira...Mira, Hughes didn't offend you, did he?"
2000 million J is no small sum. Even with the strength Hughes has shown so far, it would take him at least several years to pay it off if he worked hard on missions.
Mira smiled. She knew Hughes; he was unrestrained and free-spirited, someone who desperately needed some constraints to stay by their side.
"President, you can't say it was my suggestion!"
Makarov swallowed hard; he was somewhat afraid of Mira in this state.
"Mira, you're only thirteen. It's too early for you to be thinking about those things!"
"Huh? What are you saying, President?!"
......
On the other side, Hughes had the future Fairy Queen under his right foot and the Dragon Child under his left. Behind him were a jumbled mess of guild members.
"Thief, hahaha!"
Hughes laughed wildly, displaying an air of arrogance that regarded all the heroes of the world as worthless weeds, utterly vulnerable.
It's true that you have to start bullying people when they're young.
"Hughes, let me go! Let's do it again!"
Natsu writhed under Hughes' feet, while Erza had already lowered her head, too ashamed to show her face.
As a girl, she still has a sense of shame.
"You slanted-eyed, fiery idiot, it's because of your recklessness that we lost so badly."
Gray lay at the foot of the mountain of people, speaking menacingly.
"Ha, you droopy-eyed guy, it's just that you're too weak!"
The two confronted each other from a distance, exchanging insults.
Hughes moved his feet away: "Natsumon, I choose you! Go! How can fire power lose to ice?"
"Ah, thank you so much, Hughes! I'm fired up..."
Natsu, who was forbidden from using fire, revealed an evil smile and walked towards Gray, who was firmly pinned down.
A paintbrush inexplicably appeared in his hand; no one knew where it came from.
"hey-hey!"
Before long, a bunch of oddly shaped creatures appeared on Gray's face.
"Damn it, get up!" Gray trembled with rage at Natsu's humiliation, a chill emanating from his body.
"Damn it, Gray, you'll freeze the little one!" Marcao, who was piled on top of Gray by Hughes, covered Gray's genitals and punched Gray in the forehead.
"Huh? Macao, are you going to fight?"
"Huh? Gray, did Natsu's flames burn away all the water in your brain?"
"Ah! Macao, you also think my flames are stronger than Gray's ice." Natsu's smile was excessively bright.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Hughes scratched his head, not understanding why Natsu and the others were fighting again, and why Erza wasn't lying at his feet.
When did she appear there?
"Hughes, come here, I've got a real treasure for you!" Makarov stood on the bar and beckoned to Hughes.
"President, I don't look at sticks or goldfish!"
Makarov:......(ノಥBenefitಥ)ノ┻━┻
