The next day, Ye Yang and the others finally returned to the Fairy Tail Guild.
Lucy looked at the guild building, her heart filled with uncontrollable excitement.
("So this is Fairy Tail.")
Just as Lucy thought Natsu was about to open the door, Natsu kicked it open directly.
"I'm back!!"
The buck-toothed guy saw Natsu return and immediately teased, "You caused another big stir in Hargeon Port."
"Hahaha."
Natsu's temper flared up the moment he saw him.
He immediately threw a punch, sending him flying.
The buck-toothed guy angrily exclaimed, "Why did you hit me!!"
"The information you gave me was false!"
"Huh?! I only heard there was a fire dragon there; how was I supposed to know if it was true or false!"
Suddenly, the entire guild erupted into chaos.
Lucy stared blankly at everything unfolding before her; the guild, which had been fine moments ago, was now a free-for-all.
Just then, Mirajane walked up to Lucy.
"Oh, so you're the one Natsu brought back? It's his first time bringing someone back."
Lucy looked at the beautiful Mira, who was smiling and greeting her.
"It's Mirajane herself!"
Lucy, seeing the chaotic situation around her, awkwardly asked, "Um, shouldn't we stop them?"
"Ah? Isn't this quite good?" As soon as she finished speaking, Elfman flew in from a distance and crashed directly into Mirajane.
"See? Isn't this interesting?" No sooner had she spoken than a soul shot out from Mira's mouth.
"Miss Mira—!!!"
"Ye Yang! Ye Yang! Quickly save Miss Mira!"
Ye Yang looked up at the pinned Mirajane, then rolled over.
"Eh—!! How heartless!"
Just then, Gray suddenly appeared beside Lucy, completely naked.
"Miss, may I borrow your underwear?"
"Pervert!"
Lucy immediately grabbed the folding chair, the number one weapon, and knocked Gray flying.
He was then steadily caught in Law's arms.
"One must always be a gentleman to ladies."
Elfman, who had woken up at some point, punched Law flying.
"Man!"
Lucy looked at the guild, where not a single person seemed normal, and suddenly she was enveloped by a shadow.
Lucy turned around and saw a giant with glowing eyes.
"Ah ah ah!!"
Mirajane slowly stood up and said, "Oh, Master, you're here."
Lucy exclaimed in surprise, "Ma... Master?!"
Everyone instantly quieted down; only Natsu was still being arrogant and was immediately flattened by a kick from Makarov.
Ye Yang was dozing off when he suddenly noticed the surroundings had become quiet. He opened his eyes and looked.
"Old man, when did you get so tall?"
Makarov, enraged, lifted his right foot and directly flattened Ye Yang and the chair.
Ye Yang completely shattered into pieces, and his head rolled to Lucy's feet.
"Oh no!! Murder!!"
Makarov's fierce gaze turned to Lucy, who shivered in fear.
"You're the newcomer?"
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! "No... no...!"
Suddenly, the giant's height instantly shrank, transforming into a smiling old man.
Seeing the contrast, Lucy immediately blurted out, "So small!"
Then Makarov pushed off with his foot and gracefully flipped onto the second floor.
"Bang!"
"I wasn't paying attention and directly hit the railing."
"Pfft!"
The sudden sound broke the silence, and everyone turned to look at Ye Yang, who was just a head on the floor.
Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ "He's a zombie—!!!" Lucy screamed in panic. She didn't understand what was happening; in the few minutes she had been in this guild, her perception had been completely overturned.
"Ahem, continue, continue."
No sooner had Ye Yang spoken than Mira kicked Ye Yang's head directly into the wall, where it shattered into light particles, which then reformed into Ye Yang.
"Mira, if you ruin my face and I can't find a wife later, will you marry me?"
"Oh, what are you saying in public?" Mira blushed and ran back to her bar.
The guild members immediately started cheering.
"Oh oh oh—!!!"
Makarov gave Ye Yang a glare, then pulled out a stack of papers from behind him.
"Quiet!" As soon as he spoke, the guild instantly returned to silence.
"You scoundrels have made this old man get chewed out by those Council members again!"
"First, Gray, someone reported you for indecency, not only walking around naked but also stealing other people's clothes!"
Gray retorted, "Well, I can't just be naked, can I!"
Elfman quipped, "You wouldn't be if you didn't take them off."
"And Cana, you drank in the client's wine cellar and left the Council's name!"
Cana: "Damn it! Was I found out?!"
"And Elfman, you actually violently attacked the client."
Elfman: "Hmph, it's his fault for saying a man must learn to read a calendar."
"And the most infuriating is Ye Yang! To apprehend a group of human traffickers, he destroyed half of Hargeon Port!"
Ye Yang looked at Makarov with a bewildered expression.
"Old man, I warn you not to spread rumors, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
"He's slandering me, he's slandering me!!"
"Those were clearly Natsu's doing; what does it have to do with me!!"
Makarov completely ignored Ye Yang, directly burning the papers in his hand and tossing them into the air, where Natsu caught them.
"Let the Council eat these!"
"Listen up! The strength that surpasses perseverance all comes from the belief in perseverance. Magic is not some miraculous power, but a power that materializes when the airflow within our bodies merges with the airflow in nature. This is a power that is formed through mental and concentrated power, no! Only by pouring in all of one's soul can magic be formed. If you always live by the opinions of those in high positions, you will never advance your magic. Do not fear these Council guys; move forward on the path you believe in! That is what we, the Mages of Fairy Tail, are!"
"Oh oh oh—!!!"
Lucy looked at the guild before her and was suddenly moved: "Mama, I think I've joined a wonderful guild."
After Makarov's cool speech, everyone returned to their usual selves.
Then Mirajane stamped the emblem on Lucy's hand, and Lucy excitedly ran to Natsu.
"Natsu, look, it's my emblem!"
Natsu didn't even glance: "Oh~ Congratulations, Louise."
(ꐦÒ ‸ Ó) "It's Lucy! How many times do I have to tell you?!"
As Natsu was about to choose a mission, a child came up to Makarov.
"Why isn't my Papa back yet? He said three days, but it's been a week now, and he's still not back."
Makarov looked at the little boy: "You're very noisy, Romeo. As a Mage's child, you should trust your father and go home and wait for him to return."
"Damn it!"
Romeo angrily punched Makarov and ran out crying.
