The atmosphere was heavy inside the Phantom Lords Guild Hall.
"This is really troublesome. There's a lot of talk about it outside, but we don't know any of the details. Who can be sure we'll win?"
Dressed in red, with a katana at her waist, and black and white hair tied in a samurai braid, Rabbit Maru frowned as she spoke.
"Big Fire, you're so insecure? That guy definitely cheated. Do you really believe a twelve or thirteen-year-old can defeat the chairman?"
A man dressed in a brown suit, wearing a monocle, with spiky green hair and a rather sleazy appearance looked at Rabbit Maru, nicknamed "Big Fire." He was quite envious of Rabbit Maru, who was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old and had already made a name for himself.
"Sol, it's not a matter of confidence or insecurity. It's just that if we lose again, it will make our guild look even worse and further damage our reputation. We might end up getting fewer and fewer valuable commissions."
Rabbit Maru shook his head and patiently explained to Thor that the red-clad samurai was articulate, had a clear mind, and had pointed out the crux of the matter.
The reason they're in such a hurry is because the guild's commissions have been affected. The suspicion in the eyes of those who came to post commissions has deeply stung the members of the Phantom Lord.
As the saying goes, blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents. If the guild leader is humiliated, they won't be in such a hurry; they will at least wait until the guild leader comes out of seclusion. But if their own interests are harmed, they really can't sit still and must find a solution as soon as possible.
"Can't even Aria do it?"
Saul, dressed in a respectable but still undeniably sleazy manner, spoke up, glancing at the burly man beside him.
The burly man was dressed in a green robe and wore a top hat that was also green, making him look quite "environmentally friendly." He had a white bandage wrapped around his eyes, which was now wet with tears.
"How sad... how sad... that President Joseph suffered such a thing."
Tears streamed down Aria's face as she looked heartbroken, but no one around her paid any attention. That's just how she is; she can cry over the smallest things, and everyone is used to it.
However, despite his seemingly unambitious appearance, he is the strongest among all the Phantom Lords besides Guild Master Joseph.
Moreover, he is actually a very cold and ruthless man; he probably vents all his emotions in his daily life.
"If it's Aria."
Looking at the burly man Aria in green clothes and a green hat, Rabbit Maru pondered for a moment. To be honest, Aria could really give it a try.
Even Rabbit Maru had to admit that, as the leader of their "Three Elements," Aria's strength might be greater than his and Thor's combined.
"Let's go take a look."
Aria, who was crying, suddenly stopped crying and spoke, which surprised both Rabbit Maru and Thor. They were surprised that she had made a decision so quickly.
"We should go and see it."
Aria sighed softly. He still had to continue working for the Phantom Lords, and the Phantom Lords still had to continue working in the Kingdom of Fiore.
Letting the rumors continue to fester is too damaging to them; they have to try to get revenge no matter what.
"Let's go together then!"
Rabbit Maru stood up and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. He was actually quite interested in the "Rose Star Goddess Descending to Earth".
"I want to go too."
After the "Three Elements" made their decision, a slightly childish voice rang out. Rabbit Maru and Thor both looked towards the child who spoke, and they knew without a doubt who it was.
"Gajeel, what are you doing causing trouble?"
Thor remarked that while Gajeel was undeniably gifted and destined to become a powerful figure, his current strength was still slightly lacking.
"Why can't I?! That guy's about my age! I should be the one to defeat him directly!"
Gajeel questioned loudly, his face full of dissatisfaction. He had long, black hair that sticked up in the air, five earrings on his left ear, three on each eye, and one on his nose, making him look like a dark and edgy young man.
"That Gajeel is getting more and more rude, he has no gentlemanly manners at all."
Looking at Gajeel, who was yelling and shouting at him with a resentful expression, Thor shook his head, looking like he couldn't do anything about the guy.
There's really no way to deal with it. Guild Master Jose has been far too indulgent towards Gajeel, the future pillar of the guild. Gajeel wasn't like this when he first joined the guild. In just two years, the kid has become increasingly vulgar and violent.
If they continue to grow like this, I dare not even imagine what the future will hold.
"Gajeel, stop fooling around. This is not something to joke about."
Rabbit Maru also spoke up, saying that even the three of them weren't very confident about this matter, so naturally they couldn't take Gajeel with them.
"Then I'll go myself!"
Gajeel gritted his teeth. If he wasn't taken along, couldn't he go by himself?
"Gajeel!"
Usagi was very dissatisfied with Gajeel's willful and reckless behavior and shouted angrily.
As a result, Gajeel completely ignored him, and the energetic young man turned around and left, highlighting his independent and self-willed nature.
"That bastard!"
Rabbit Maru was very angry and tried to grab Gajeel.
"Let him go."
The latest novel is first published here!
However, Aria reached out and stopped him. With tears streaming down her face, Aria spoke calmly, saying that she hadn't stopped Gajeel at all.
"This child is deeply loved by the guild master. Since the guild master has been humiliated, it is only natural for him to avenge the guild master. Gajeel is a good child."
Aria spoke through her tears.
Although he spoke in a grand and righteous manner, Rabbit Maru didn't believe a single word he said.
The red-clad samurai looked at Aria, who had a compassionate expression, with a complicated look in his eyes. He thought to himself that this guy was indeed ruthless and heartless. He deliberately sent Gajeel to be their scout!
"There's nothing wrong with that, hehehe."
Thor realized what was happening too. He grinned lewdly and turned to support Aria, suggesting that Gajeel go ahead and scout ahead.
"."
Rabbit Maru simply shut his mouth and didn't say anything more. There was no point in saying anything more. Two of the three people supported him, and Aria was the main supporter. So, whatever he said would just be a waste of breath.
"Let's go, follow him."
Aria spoke up, then immediately followed Gajeel who had run off, with Thor following right after, looking rather sycophantic.
Rabbit Maru looked around and then at the other guild members, most of whom were wearing purple hats with two pointed horns.
The expressions on everyone's faces were very excited. They had clearly been holding back their anger for the past few days, and their actions greatly boosted morale.
'But what if we lose?'
The thought of this possibility flashed through Rabbit Maru's mind, and his body trembled. The consequences were simply unimaginable.
Gajeel clearly didn't care about Tsutsumi's worries. All he wanted to do now was find the guy who had caused their guild to lose face and get revenge. He was only about the same age as Gajeel, yet he was being touted as the best in the world!
Gajeel was very dissatisfied. He felt that he was also very strong. At least when facing children of similar age, he always had an overwhelming advantage. There was no reason why he should be weaker than that Moen!
This idea isn't actually that strange; most gifted teenagers think this way. Pakas and Karen initially thought the same, but after a beating, they became obedient.
Before they actually received that beating, it was indeed a bit difficult to expect these young geniuses, who had always been the center of attention, to realize that they were actually "one of the stars" rather than the "moon" being celebrated. After all, they were still immature.
Moreover, the absurdity of Moen's matter has led most mature mages to remain skeptical.
Therefore, it's normal that Gajeel wouldn't believe it and would want to defeat Moen to prove himself and that the Phantom Lord wasn't so bad.
Filled with a burning desire for revenge and to wash away the humiliation, Gajeel boarded the train from Ogu Town to Magnolia. Ogu Town was located in the northeast of the Kingdom of Fiore, quite a distance from Magnolia.
