Because this wasn't your fault in the first place.

Hearing their conversation only fueled his excitement.

"Oh, let me guess, your so-called mistake isn't related to that guy hanging outside the guild when I came in, is it?"

Lucy gave a very dull "hmm," but didn't want to explain further.

Seeing this, Yan had no choice but to look at the female bartender. After giving Lucy a pitying look, the bartender immediately described in detail what had happened while Yan was away.

It turns out that just last night, when the guild had already closed its doors in the middle of the night...

A Phantom Lord mage burst in, attempting to attack the outer members.

Fortunately, Bitz was cautious and had Sarah and the others strengthen their defenses.

These peripheral members then managed to send out a distress signal, which led to Bitts's arrival with assistance.

With Bits there, the troublemaking mage naturally got a severe beating.

To warn others, after extracting information through torture, Bitz had the person tied up and hung outside the guild as a warning to others.

However, despite Bitts' timely assistance, some of the girls still suffered minor injuries and were temporarily taken to the hospital.

When the other two guild members, Lucy and Eve, arrived after hearing the news...

They then learned from some of the people who had experienced the incident that the other party was a mage controlled by Phantom.

They were hired by the owner of the Heartfilia Foundation, Jude Heartfilia, specifically to intimidate and threaten them into handing over Heartfilia's young lady.

Upon hearing the news, Lucy was immediately overwhelmed with intense guilt.

She never imagined that her father, who had abandoned all desires, would resort to such despicable means to force her to return.

She felt extremely guilty and apologized to Bitz and everyone in the guild.

Even though Beetz said on the spot that none of this had anything to do with her, and everyone said they wouldn't blame her, Lucy still couldn't forgive herself.

To prevent her from doing anything foolish, he went alone to confront Jiude.

Bits left Lucy at the guild, entrusting her to the care and comfort of the others.

Even so, Lucy has been feeling guilty and depressed since last night, still believing that she has dragged the guild down and hurt everyone in the guild.

Yan and Urutia listened attentively to the bartender's story.

It wasn't until she finished speaking that the two of them understood the whole story.

Only then did Urudia exclaim "Oh~" in realization, and say:

"Oh, it's that guy. No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when he came in."

That guy is one of the Phantom Lord's trump cards, the Iron Dragon Gajeel who wields lost Dragon Slayer magic.

He is a repeat offender who has been reported multiple times for assaulting people, abusing mission targets, and damaging public buildings.

I have seen him more than once on the judges' bench in the council.

However, due to the reputation of Joseph Pola, the Guild Master of the Phantom Lords and one of the Ten Wizard Saints, the council has refrained from punishing him.

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

I'm a newbie in Cyclone? How come I didn't know that?

"The council? Iron Dragon? By the way, who are you, sister?"

Lucy's bewildered eyes revealed a clear sense of foolishness. It took her so long to realize that there was a woman she didn't recognize with Sister Yan.

Ultear didn't hold Lucy's previous neglect against her and smiled gently.

"Me? I'm just an ordinary mage, a guest invited by your guild master."

As she spoke, she gave Lucy, who seemed harmless, a deep look.

If she remembered correctly, this Miss Lucy was the strongest newcomer of the new generation who had been featured in various magazines just a few days ago, having single-handedly defeated the Iron Forest ace—the Grim Reaper Erigor.

Unexpectedly, besides his formidable strength among his peers, this person also has such a rare background.

The Heartfilia Consortium is a well-known consortium and merchant guild that ranks among the top in Fiore and even the entire continent of Ishgar.

Lucy is actually the daughter of a wealthy family, and she's happy to live as a mage in this newly established small guild.

She had no idea what kind of magic this guild possessed that could attract her.

As Urutia scrutinized and sized up Lucy, Lucy, equally unabashedly curious, stared directly at him.

Having been with Saiwei for so long, she is no longer the newcomer who knew nothing about the magic world.

She also frequently reads various magazines and newspapers about the world of magic.

So when she first met Urutia, she felt that the person in front of her looked strangely familiar.

She simply couldn't recall where she had seen this person before.

Yan took the initiative to act as the introducer for the two women, introducing them to each other:

"Ultear, this is Lucy. Although she is young, she is one of the founding members of our guild."

When the elders were mentioned, Lucy straightened her chest instantly, her face beaming with pride.

This even caught Urutia's attention; she hadn't expected this little girl to have such a hidden identity.

After introducing Lucy, Yan then said to Lucy:

"Lucy, this is Ultear. If you watch the news often, you should know her."

She's a current member of the Magic Council, not just some ordinary mage.

"Members of the council!!"

Lucy screamed, nearly falling off her chair in shock.

The female bartender who served the three, along with several girls nearby, stared in shock at Ultia, who didn't seem to be much older than them, and covered their mouths in surprise.

Now I remember, no wonder I found Miss Ultear so familiar.

Isn't this Ultear, one of the youngest council members in the history of the Wizarding Council, who is on par with one of the Ten Wizard Saints and a council member named Ziklein?

The Magic Council, a massive organization that manages all the mage guilds on the continent of Ishgar, has a leadership composed of a speaker and nine councilors.

Ultear was one of these ten people, and in any country on the continent of Ishgar, he would be comparable to a king or head of state, making him an absolute big shot.

Council members actually came to our guild! Did the guild leader destroy some small country without my knowledge? Or did Sister Yan and the others go out and eliminate the Balam Alliance?

Otherwise, why would such a big shot as a congressman come knocking on my door?

The moment Lucy learned of Ultear's identity, the little trouble Injudo had caused was completely put aside.

Compared to the Magic Council, what is Heartfilia? The two are simply not on the same level.

Yan and his companion witnessed Lucy's exaggerated reactions and those of the maids and servants.

Urutia couldn't help but smile wryly to himself at this.

Even the guild members probably didn't expect that she, a dignified councilor, was forcibly invited by members of their guild.

Urudia was just thinking this to himself when Yan suddenly dropped an even bigger bombshell.

"Don't be so surprised. Although Ultear is a councilor now, it won't be long before she becomes our guildmate and your colleague."

What?! How come I didn't know about this?!

Urudia stared blankly at Yan, who, as if on cue, turned around and gave her a faint smile.

"Am I right, Senator Urutia?"

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

!

"Yes, right? Yes, I think so."

Urudia gave an ambiguous reply in a blank tone.

But this did not diminish the guild members' surprise when they heard her admit it herself.

Lucy jumped up dramatically from her seat, clutching her head and letting out a scream that was hard to decipher:

"Hey!! A member of the council is coming to our guild to become a mage!"

"Miss Urutia, what happened to make you so distraught?"

How the hell should I know that?!

If Urudia were a time traveler, she would definitely roar like this in her heart.

She's the most confused one right now. Wasn't she supposed to be here to see the president of Saiwei?

How did I suddenly become someone who came to join you?

How shameless does your guild have to make a current council member give up her council position to become a miserable laborer in your newly established, dilapidated guild?!

Suppressing the urge to directly curse Yan, that bitch, Ultear forced a smile and said dryly, "..."

"We do have that idea, but it's not confirmed yet. We need to meet with your guild leader and get his approval before we can make a decision."

As she said this, she gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Yan, trying to remind her that this did not conform to their agreement.

"Oh right, that reminds me."

Yan seemed to have just remembered something, and asked Lucy, who was so excited she was practically flying:

"Where's Bitz? With such a big incident, why haven't we seen him?"

"Call him over, and I'll tell you that Miss Urutia, one of the youngest and most promising members of the council in its history, wishes to join the guild, and that he should come for an interview in person."

"Okay, he's upstairs. I'll go right now!"

Lucy nodded excitedly, and afterwards gave Ultear a thumbs-up as encouragement:

"Go for it, Miss Ultear. If it's you, I believe you'll be able to pass the test and join the guild."

After saying that, she disappeared in the blink of an eye at the entrance of the building.

Urudia: "..."

Fine, fine, so I, a member of the council, have to go through an interview and a test to join your lousy guild?

You've really got too big for your britches. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a bigger and more famous guild than Fairy Tail.

With a dark expression, he lowered his head and silently took a sip of wine, only afraid of being cleaved in two by the bird-like man beside him.

Ultear had long ago used magic to reduce this guild to dust in history, then dusted herself off and returned to the council to disqualify Cyclone from being a legitimate guild.

Yan tilted his head and narrowed his eyes, his voice, neither clear nor slow, yet carrying a strange chill, whispering in Ultear's ear:

"You seem to be thinking about something unpleasant. Is there something about our guild that you're unhappy with?"

Urutia froze, cursing inwardly.

Damn it, I forgot this woman has the ability to read minds.

After she finished cursing, she couldn't help but want to slap herself. This sentence was probably overheard by the petty and scheming woman.

Urtia was terrified that tomorrow's newspapers would publish news of the council's youngest female member being hacked to pieces and committing suicide in the center of the riot.

He denied it in a tone that he himself found disgusting, yet bordered on admiration: No, how could that be?

Saiyan Tail is the friendliest, best-equipped, and most comfortable mage guild I've ever seen. I absolutely love it here.

0Request flowers The very next second after she exaggeratedly uttered these insincere words, a strange male voice came from the stairwell.

"Is that so? Since Councilor Ultia likes our guild so much, then as the guild leader, I can't possibly refuse you anymore."

"From today onwards, Miss Ultear, you are a member of our guild. Welcome to Saiyan Tail!"

She turned to look at the smiling young man who congratulated her, and the female guild member who stepped forward and took out a magic seal.

Urutia's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally dead.

What happened to the promised interview and tests?! I really think that at this point, you could have been much less lenient with the membership requirements!
