Makarov: "Stinky Brat, you're finally back! If the complaints about you hadn't arrived a few days before you did, I would have thought something happened to you."
"Oh, wow (｀へ´) I didn't expect you to care about me so much, old man."
"This commission needs a raise!"
When Makarov heard Ye Yang mention money, a vein immediately bulged on his forehead.
"Stinky Brat, you still dare to talk about money with this old man!"
"Do you know that you destroyed an entire village this time? This old man was lectured for half a day and had to pay a huge sum of money. How dare you ask for a raise?"
"I think you look like money!"
"You old geezer, no raise?!"
"It's perfectly normal for Mages to have some bumps and scrapes while on missions. Besides, if I hadn't eliminated that demon, do you know how much trouble there would have been?!"
"And anyway, those villages weren't destroyed by me; they were destroyed by that demon. How can you put all the blame on me?!"
"Ah ah ah!! Are you trying to piss this old man off, you Stinky Brat?!"
As the two argued, the three siblings were left at a loss.
After more than ten minutes, the old man and the young man finally quieted down. Makarov turned to look at the Mira siblings, immediately putting on a kind and friendly smile.
"You three Little Girls are here to join the Guild, aren't you?"
Mirajane nervously said: "Ye-yes."
Ye Yang said: "Old man, Mira has awakened her Take Over Magic, but she doesn't know how to control it yet."
"Stinky Brat, this old man knows."
"Little Girl, let this old man see your arm."
Mirajane then removed her cloak, revealing her arm. Makarov nodded after seeing it.
"It's not a big problem. After a few days of training, you'll be able to release this state."
Upon hearing this, the three siblings immediately smiled with relief. Although they had learned that this was what they called Magic these past few days, they were still a bit nervous, fearing that their arm would remain like this forever.
"Stinky Brat, after I stamp their Guild marks, you'll be in charge of showing them around."
Ye Yang was already lying in his exclusive rocking chair, sipping tea.
"This kind of life is so comfortable ~"
Makarov saw this and said: "This Stinky Brat, he's like this as soon as he returns to the Guild."
"Sigh ~ This guy is getting lazier and lazier."

Days passed peacefully like this. The Mira siblings quickly became close with everyone in the Guild. Mirajane and Erza were still at odds, adding to the original fights between Natsu and Gray, now there were also fights between Erza and Mirajane. These two would also occasionally drag Ye Yang into a duel, though they always lost to Ye Yang.
Meanwhile, Ye Yang had been slacking off in the Guild recently because he hadn't seen any good commissions. He watched them fight and play, and in the mornings, he trained Benn and San Mao. The training equipment on their bodies had changed from simple stones to armor engraved with gravity patterns.
Under the effect of the medicinal bath, their strength had improved rapidly, and it wouldn't be long before they could learn Six Styles.
It wasn't until June that the Fairy Tail Guild welcomed its most important day.
Ye Yang arrived at the Guild slowly by himself in the middle of the day. San Mao and Benn returned to the Guild directly after finishing their training.
As soon as Ye Yang opened the door, he felt a slight uneasiness. It was too quiet.
"What's going on? Has everyone changed their nature, or am I still half asleep?"
Makarov, seeing that the last person had arrived, immediately announced:
"Stinky Brat, everyone's been waiting for you!"
"Hurry up and come over, stop dawdling."
"Huh? Oh, oh, oh."
"What's up? Is the Guild going to be disbanded?"
(乂｀д´) "Stinky Brat! Is your head full of shit?! Can't you wish the Guild some good?!"
Mira excitedly said: "Old man, just ignore this lazy bum! Hurry up and make the announcement!"
Makarov glared at Ye Yang and then said:
"Ahem! According to the long-standing rules of Fairy Tail, I shall now read out this year's S-Class Exam selection list."
"Oh oh oh—!!" The Guild members instantly became excited.
"Laxus Dreyar!"
Laxus: "Hmph!"
"Ye Yang!"
Ye Yang: "Huh?"
"After this year's observation of everyone in the Guild, your strength and character have both been recognized by me and Gildarts."
"This year's exam location will be at Mount Nirith."
"Each person can have one partner accompany them. We will gather at the Guild tomorrow morning."
As soon as Makarov finished speaking, the Guild began to buzz with discussions.
"As expected, Laxus is on the list. That guy's strength is not ordinary."
"I wonder who is stronger, Ye Yang or Laxus."
"I don't know, they've never fought. Even when they meet in the Guild, they just nod; we haven't seen any conflict between them."
"What a pity, I really want to see these two fight!"
After hearing Ye Yang's name, Laxus glanced at Ye Yang and then left directly.
Meanwhile, Ye Yang was immediately surrounded by Natsu, Gray, Erza, Mirajane, and also Benn and San Mao.
Natsu: "I'm so envious! Why isn't my name on the S-Class list?!"
Gray: "Tch, you're out of the question, you guy."
Natsu angrily said: "Are you trying to pick a fight, you bastard?!"
"If you want to fight, then fight! I'm not afraid of you!"
Just as the two were about to start fighting, Erza gave them a look, and they both broke out in cold sweat, immediately putting their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Hehe, we're the best of friends."
Erza nodded with satisfaction: "Ye Yang, what do you say? Who are you going to choose as your partner?"
Ye Yang thought for a moment and said: "Emmm, I haven't decided yet. This is such a big deal, it's too sudden."
Mirajane interjected: "Why even ask? Of course, I'm going with you!"
Erza: "Why you?! It should be me who goes with him."
"Want to fight, Armor Girl?!"
"I'm afraid of a delinquent girl like you!"
As the two spoke, they began to argue.
Ye Yang scratched his head helplessly.
"I say, why are you two fighting?"
"Shut up! This is a matter between us girls!!"
"Yes, yes, yes, sigh ~"
Ye Yang then looked at the silent San Mao and Benn.
"Hmm? San Mao, why are you so quiet today? You're not usually like this."
"Hehe, Boss, what are you talking about? I'm just afraid of getting beaten again."
Benn said: "Boss, we originally thought we could learn Six Styles before you became S-Class, so we could help you then."
"But who would have thought, Boss, that you would be selected for S-Class so quickly."
Ye Yang looked at the somewhat disappointed duo and comforted them:
"Alright, don't be sad. There's still a long way to go. This is just the beginning."
"It's just an S-Class. Once your Boss, me, becomes S-Class, I'll have plenty of money, hahahaha."
"Then, your Boss, my dream will come true."
San Mao immediately flattered him: "That's right, that's right, Boss, you're the man who's going to become the strongest landlord. An S-Class is nothing to you."
"Oh, you're quite eloquent today, kid. Next time, when I have Benn hit you, he'll go a bit easier."
"Huh?!"
"Let's go, let's go, home."
