Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 15 The S-Class Magister

The next day.

"So, you really met Zeref?" Mirajane asked in surprise, and at the same time, she was glad that she chose the advanced task release room on the second floor of the guild for this conversation.Otherwise, if the news spreads, wouldn't there be chaos in the guild?

Woz didn't hide anything, except that he had traveled to this world, and not many people would believe what he said, including the "Scale" organization, the grievances between the chess players and him, all without reservation. .

In fact, for Mirajane, Woz has always been extra tolerant or conniving.Due to an accident that caused her magical power to collapse and her strength to drop drastically, and even her personality changed drastically, Woz felt guilty.Because Woz knew about Mirajenny's sister Lisanna, but he hadn't paid much attention to it before, because Woz was busy with his own investigation work at the time, and it was impossible to pay attention to them all the time. After all, there are three brothers and sisters in the Strauss family. It is normal for a team to go out on a mission, and he can't keep an eye on it even if he forgets the exact time of the incident.The most important thing is that Woz knows that Lisanna is not really dead, and will return to everyone in the guild after the Edoras incident, so he also deliberately let things develop.

It turned out that after the accident, Woz discovered the cruelty of reality.Watching Mirajane's grief overwhelmed her whole personality changed, from a fierce "devil" turned 180 degrees to an extremely gentle signboard girl; her own strong magic power is also due to psychological reasons Was sealed, and lost the ability to fight.Woz once wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to say it. Even if she told her that Lisanna was still alive, she couldn't prove it for a while; at that time, she almost forced Mistgang, who had just joined the guild, to take him to Edoras .

It was only then that Woz realized that, anyway, for Mirajane, her sister Lisanna was indeed dead, and what he said that Lisanna was not dead was just taken as words of comfort.Woz reluctantly finds himself once again caught in the dilemma of knowing the truth but not being able to explain it.At that time, Woz finally felt how necessary it is to have a confidant who knows his secrets. At least when similar things happen, someone will really believe his words.

Therefore, since then, except for the affairs of the other world, Woz has never hidden anything from Mirajane.Therefore, there is no more specific and detailed understanding of Woz in the guild than Mirajane.And Mirajane also tacitly kept many secrets for Woz.She has long felt Woz's guilt towards her, but because she doesn't know Woz's most fundamental details, she can't really understand Woz's thoughts.In Mirajane's view, Woz has always felt guilty because they didn't arrive in time for support when they carried out the Beastmaster mission.

Mirajane knew that Woz had always regarded himself as the president—the "parent" of the entire guild, or even more exaggeratedly, the "nanny."Obviously not much older than her, and also a member of the new generation in the guild, but pretending to be old-fashioned.This once made the then S-rank mage "Magic" Mirajane unhappy.After the incident, Woz's self-confessed secret concerns were somewhat unacceptable to Mirajane.

But after a long time, Mirajane's own character has also completed a 180-degree turn, and she also understands Woz better.All kinds of conflicts and misunderstandings in the past have become a thing of the past.

"It is indeed news that needs to be told to the president." Mirajane pointed her lips and thought, "But it is not very urgent, right? After all, Jeff has already existed, so there is no need to worry too much about him. Let's put the matter first. Let's talk about it after we deal with it."

Woz wondered, "What else is there?" After thinking for a while, he added, "My injury has been healed, and it's only a matter of time before I fully recover."

"This is the big question. How much combat power do you have left? I can knock you down now, right?" Mirajane pressed her forehead and said, "Besides, the woman you brought back still needs to be dealt with."

"Didn't I ask you to send it directly to the council?"

Mirajane said helplessly: "Did you lose your head yesterday? Besides you, who else in our guild can easily send people to the Council thousands of miles away? This is the cadre of the Devil's Heart, You don’t expect any council office in any region to take over, do you?”

"So, Naberis is still here?"

Mirajane easily found a reason for her waywardness, and said with a smile: "It's locked in the basement, there is an arrangement left by the president to seal her magic power, don't worry." The sealing magic circle she said is usually used to give Naz is in confinement.

"Naberis should have sent a message to the headquarters a long time ago. It would be terrible if they called up." Woz was a little anxious, "No, I will send her away immediately before Luluya leaves."

Mirajane frowned: "Although I admit that the Dark Guild is powerful, isn't your reaction too exaggerated?"

"No, you and everyone in the guild don't really understand their power. The strength of the Big Three of the Barham Alliance and other dark guilds are completely two-level things. Right now, Fairy Tail is not ready for war. It's not time to start a war. Try not to contact if you can."

Meerajane asked, "Are you so sure there will be war between us?"

Woz nodded: "Yes, it can be said that it is destined, there must be a battle between goblins and demons." Looking at the girl beside him, Woz continued, "Of course, we will win."

"Well, I know, our guild will definitely win, no matter who the enemy is." Mirajane smiled softly, "And Woz, do you know? Every time you make a 'prophecy' like just now, it seems like you will It's just as inspiring as a long speech, and it all comes true."

Woz rubbed his nose to hide his smile: "Of course, because this is Fairy Tail, we never say failure."

Meerajane stood up, straightened her skirt, and said, "Okay, that's the end of the conversation, let's go! I don't know what will happen to them."

When they looked up, the two found a person leaning against the door.The dazzling short blond hair is pierced towards the sky, with a metal spiked sound pot, and a big fur coat. His face is full of rebelliousness, and there is a lightning scar on his right eye.

"Laxus!" Mirajane said in surprise, "When did you come?"

Laxus said contemptuously: "You didn't even notice my arrival, your vigilance is too bad. Mirajane, you are already far behind; but I didn't expect you to be so bad, Woz, don't you Has it hurt that much?"

Woz nodded bluntly: "Yes, I was indeed injured more seriously. What? Are you here to challenge again?"

"Ah, yes, we haven't decided the winner yet. You've always played negatively. Why don't you take advantage of this time and let's end it completely." Laxus provocatively, golden lightning flashed on his body.

Mirajane stepped forward and said angrily: "Laxas, don't go too far! Don't you want to take advantage of others!"

"It's now, Woz, it's rare that you don't have the strength to refuse." Laxus ignored Mirajane and looked straight at Woz.

Woz's complexion also turned cold all of a sudden, and the temperature around him seemed to drop a bit: "Laxus, do you want to die! Challenge me now, and I can only die forever."

Laxus's body was full of lightning: "Sure enough, are injured beasts more dangerous? I'm curious about your strength when you shoot with all your strength."

"That's enough, you two!" Mira stood between the two of them, "We are all members of the same guild, there is no reason to fight with our lives! Let's just stop!"

"It seems that you are really seriously injured... You are the only opponent that I, Laxus, recognize here. What I want is to defeat you head-on." Laxus snorted coldly, and went to the task board to take the one with the highest reward. Zhang: "I hope that after I come back, you have recovered, and don't make any more excuses to avoid fighting."

When Woz joined the guild, he was recognized by all the previous generation members of the guild, and became a leader among the few new generations. Even the arrogant Laxus was overwhelmed, so from then on he will Woz is regarded as the only old enemy; but Woz has always been unwilling to confront him head-on, and deliberately staggered with him during the upgrade assessment, which made Laxus always worry about him and always tried to motivate Woz to fight him with all his strength.

Seeing Laxus give up, Woz shrugged.As if thinking of something again, he stopped Laxus, tore a piece of paper from the book, wrote a few lines and handed it over.

"What does this mean?" Laxus asked instead, without going to pick it up.

Woz explained: "This is a promise of mine. In the future, when you and I have conflicts, this will allow me to back away... once. Take it as compensation for refusing to fight you this time."

Laxus said disdainfully: "What use do I want this kind of promise? I won't run away from fighting."

Woz smiled: "There are always contingencies, even you, there will be times when you don't want to see me. No matter what, accepting my promise will never suffer."

Laxus took the paper without looking at it, and stuffed it into his pocket: "Then let's see, when will I use this promise."

"Don't worry, it will always be used." Woz said meaningfully.

After Laxus left, Mirajane asked, "Why did you give Laxus a promise? Don't you hate him?"

Woz said: "We are just ordinary competitors. Although I really don't like his character, I can't say I hate it. Besides, that promise, no matter how you look at it, I took advantage of it?"

"Well, that's right. Anyway, Laxus has always challenged you on his own initiative. From this point of view, it really doesn't matter."

Woz looked downstairs: "Okay, the guild is going to be lively at this time, Mira, go get busy. I'll go to the council."

For various reasons, Woz didn't want to be entangled by the council for too long, so he just threw Naberis on the roof of the council's round table meeting room and left immediately, leaving a brief description of Naberis's identity and mission Situation note.

The congressmen who were shocked by the alarm couldn't help complaining: "It's Fairy Tail again, don't the members of this guild know how to restrain themselves?"

"That's Woz, right? Although it didn't cause any huge damage, it still makes people uncomfortable to break through our defense line so blatantly."

"Sure enough, we should teach them a lesson!"

Gerald, one of the youngest Holy Ten Magisters in history, one of the councilors, this blue-haired man with a strange blood-red tattoo on his cheek chuckled: "Isn't it interesting? That guild. It's because there are Without them, the world would be as wonderful as it is.”
