Today is clearly not a good day for Ivan Dole.
Just now, a guy from Fairy Tail sent me some puzzling news, telling me to go to Tequila Park and pick up his Raven Tail members.
The guild members went out to "Tequila Park," a fact Ivan Doraeus knew, as Narubudinku and the others told him before they left.
But Ivan Dolea couldn't understand why things had escalated to this point. Did the guys from the legitimate guilds lack martial ethics? Did they not recognize the status of "Raven's Tail" as a legitimate mage guild? Did they openly ostracize and attack "Raven's Tail"?
If that's the case, then Ivan Doleah will have to appeal fiercely.
Are the rules of the Magic Council still rules?! Does anyone still listen to the Magic Council?!
Ivan Dole knew without a doubt that Fairy Tail was the one who had done the wrong thing, otherwise why would it be one of their people who came to notify them?
With a somber expression, Ivan Dolear arrived at "Tequila Park," but thankfully he was wearing a mask, so no one could see his expression.
"Here it comes!"
"The chairman of the Raven's Tail Association!"
Ivan Dole's appearance caused a minor commotion, with onlookers excited and eagerly anticipating what would happen next.
"Raven's Tail" was, after all, a former dark guild, and it even boasted that it was on par with the "Three Giants of the Balam Alliance," calling itself the "Fourth Giant." With such a prestigious title, shouldn't it have some backbone? And it also has ties with "Fairy Tail"...
With so many entanglements, can "Big Crow's Tail" really swallow this loss today?
"What fourth power? Even the real three powers were defeated by Fairy Tail, so what is this fourth power?"
Some people are looking forward to a fierce battle, while others are not optimistic about "Raven's Tail," wondering how they are qualified to fight "Fairy Tail." Didn't they all get scared and change their ways?
In fact, there are more people who are not optimistic about "Raven's Tail". Everyone is not stupid. "Raven's Tail" is obviously bluffing and trying to gain popularity, without any real achievements to support it, while "Fairy Tail" has all real achievements.
Ivan Dole silently walked up to the group, his gaze falling on the handsome and charismatic young man at the head of the group.
"It's been... a long time."
Looking at Moen now, Ivan Dolea felt a mix of emotions.
Of course, there was more hostility than anything else. Ivan Dolea disliked Moen since he was a child. Ivan Dolea tried his best to stop the old man from adopting Moen, but in the end he was unable to change the old man's mind.
"Yes, Mr. Ivan, you are such a busy man. It's not easy to see you. I couldn't find your location before. Now that we meet again, you have become a mage of a regular guild."
"Life is so unpredictable. I wish I could have met you sooner."
Moen spoke with a smile and in a very polite tone, but the meaning behind his words made Ivan Dolea blush a little.
This isn't just mocking him anymore; it's openly insulting him, calling him a coward who used to hide in the shadows, avoiding "Fairy Tail," and now he's surrendered and joined a legitimate mage guild.
Moen's words were full of regret, regret that he could not have met him sooner, when "Raven's Tail" was still the Dark Guild, so that he could have captured him directly.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
Ivan Doleah's face flushed red. He didn't respond to Moen's words, but instead looked at the several "Raven's Tail" mages groaning on the ground.
Seeing the miserable state of Narubudinku and the others, Ivan Doraeus couldn't help but curse inwardly, "These good-for-nothings didn't even manage to hurt Moen?"
What Ivan Doraeus didn't know was that Narubudinku and the others were beaten so badly without even Moen lifting a finger.
The little guys who were beating people up are all outside observing the situation and don't dare to get close. Only Moen, Erza, and Mirajane are present, which led Ivan Doraemon to misunderstand. He thought that Narubudinku and his group of four had been defeated by this trio.
If that's the case, then Ivan Doraemon can completely understand why the four Narubudinku were defeated.
Although Ivan Doraeus always had a high opinion of himself, he wasn't blindly confident in the face of absolute strength. Moen's strength was not just a reputation, but something he had earned through countless battles.
From Joseph Pora to Jellal of the Tower of Paradise, to the Oración Seis, and most recently the much-rumored Heart of the Devil, no one doubts Moen's strength.
Therefore, standing alone in front of Moen, even though he was furious that Moen had stolen the position of Fairy Tail's guild master, Ivan Doraeus still had to hold back.
"Gajeel, Natsu, come here."
When asked by Ivan Doleah, Moen called out two names.
"Ugh! Why me...?"
Moen's words elicited a wail. Natsu walked over with a defiant expression, while Gajeel remained calm. Although he had also made a move, he felt he was in the right since he was the one who had provoked the other.
"Tell me, let Chairman Ivan know the whole story."
Looking at Natsu and Gajeel, Moen nodded and told them to recount what happened, without embellishment, just tell the truth.
At Moen's prompting, Gajeel roughly repeated his conversation with Narubudinku and the other three. Natsu added aggressively from the side, saying that he didn't think he had beaten the wrong people, since these guys were the ones who bullied their companions first.
"is that so?"
After listening to Gajeel and Natsu's account, Ivan Dreyar suppressed his anger and looked at the four of them lying on the ground, including Naruto and Natsu. In fact, the four of them had recovered quite a bit. The Fairy Tail members hadn't killed them; they only had superficial injuries. There was no need for them to pretend to be in such a terrible state.
The only reason they're still lying there is out of embarrassment. Pretending to be dead while lying on the ground is better than standing up and being ridiculed.
"...Pretty much, but they struck first!"
When asked by Ivan Dolea, Narubudinku and the others stopped pretending to be dead. Obra spoke up, saying that he was the one who had been beaten the least among the four because he was wearing a mask and hadn't had much of a chance to speak, so he hadn't attracted much hatred.
"We acknowledge this, so we are willing to pay for the medical expenses as compensation. It was wrong of us to strike first."
However, shouldn't you members apologize for inexplicably insulting our Fairy Tail members?
Moen maintained a smile throughout, providing service with a constant grin. Seeing Ivan Dorreah's frustrated expression, he found it hard not to laugh.
"Do we have to apologize?"
Ivan Dolea stared at Moen in disbelief. Their people had been beaten, yet they were being forced to apologize?!
"Let's keep things separate. After all, you were the ones who provoked us first. If this really escalates to the Magic Council, we might not necessarily be in the wrong."
Moen didn't seem to care. This was their solution. If he wasn't satisfied, he could take it to the Magic Council. Was it wrong to take action to protect his guildmates?
Even if this kind of thing is taken to the Magic Council, they will just try to smooth things over. Even if it doesn't involve anyone from the Fairy Tail guild, the Magic Council won't find the person who did the dirty work guilty.
Because most mages in legitimate "magic guilds" would make similar decisions in this situation. If they could remain indifferent to seeing their guildmates being bullied, then that guild would be doomed.
The Magic Council isn't stupid; it certainly won't go against most of the Mage Guilds. When something like this happens, it naturally tries to smooth things over. After all, it's just a fight, and no one was seriously injured or killed. They just give each other a few words of advice and that's it.
Ivan Doleah gritted his teeth, feeling incredibly frustrated. The main reason for his frustration was that he was "inferior in skill" and that his side was not strong enough.
If you provoke trouble and still can't win, you'll naturally be taken advantage of. But if you do win, wouldn't the other side be the one who feels aggrieved?
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Just as the atmosphere became somewhat tense and Ivan Doleah was in an awkward position, two people, one tall and one short, squeezed through the crowd and came to the center.
Makarov and Laxus, grandfather and grandson, have arrived. They should have arrived long ago, but they've been chatting and taking walks outside until now, when they finally learned that something had happened at Fairy Tail.
"Makarov! Look at the mess you've made! What were you thinking, handing Fairy Tail to someone like this?!"
Makarov had barely squeezed in with a puzzled look when he was berated by Ivan Dole, who was wearing a mask. Ivan Dole, who had been holding back his anger, finally found someone to vent it on. His dissatisfaction with old man Makarov had been building up for a long time, and this time it was finally revealed in the red heat.
"???"
Makarov was completely bewildered, having been scolded for no apparent reason. He didn't even know what had happened.
"Buzz!!!"
However, even if he didn't know what had happened here, it wouldn't prevent Grandpa Makarov from making the right decision.
"boom!"
With a burst of magical energy, the old man's fist extended and grew larger, striking Ivan Doraeus's mask with a powerful blow.
Ivan Doleah was sent flying backwards and crashed headfirst into the sand. When he got up, his mask was completely shattered.
Ivan Dolea had black hair and a beard, and his appearance was only average. Even when the three of them stood together, you couldn't tell that he was Laxus's father and Makarov's son.
Makarov didn't hesitate to hit Ivan Dolea. So what if Ivan Dolea was the guild master of "Raven's Tail"? This was their own business, and no one could interfere. If this got to the "Magic Council," they would only be able to smooth things over.
Thinking about it carefully, the "Magic Council" is really tough. There are some things that you can do no matter what, or how you do them, you'll still get scolded.
"You're really senile! Why don't you make Laxus the guild leader?!"
Ivan Dolea stood up, covering his swollen face, but he still didn't shut up, continuing to question Makarov while also trying to sow discord, hoping that Laxus would take his side.
Ivan Dreyar, who had been following Fairy Tail closely, was aware that Laxus had previously started a civil war for the position of guild leader and had even been expelled from the guild.
"Shut up! You bastard! This is Fairy Tail's business, what does it have to do with you?! What right do you have to question it?"
Makarov was furious at Ivan Dole's words. He rushed forward and began to beat Ivan Dole again.
Faced with the angry old man Makarov, Ivan Dole was completely powerless and was beaten like a grandson by the old man.
No, old man Makarov has never hit his grandson like that before. Only this good-for-nothing son of his would be beaten by him.
"It still has to be the old man."
Seeing this, Moen couldn't help but sigh.
Now that Ivan Dolea is the leader of a legitimate guild, he certainly can't just beat up the other party for no reason, but his own father certainly can.
Although it's not right to do this, it's really difficult for the Magic Council to manage when a father beats his son, and it's also difficult for others to interfere.
Laxus stood beside Moen, watching his father being scolded by his grandfather, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Between his father and grandfather, Laxus is definitely closer to his grandfather, since his father was expelled from the guild when he was young and has never returned since.
When he was young, he once quarreled with his grandfather because his father was expelled, but he gradually understood as he grew up.
Because it's actually quite difficult to be expelled from Fairy Tail unless you've really done something outrageous, like how he was expelled from the guild for starting an internal war.
Although he still doesn't know what his father did, it must have been something very detrimental to Fairy Tail, otherwise his grandfather wouldn't have expelled his son from the guild.
"He talks too much; it's not his place to comment on Fairy Tail."
Standing next to Moen, Laxus spoke up, afraid that Moen might misunderstand and think that Ivan Doraeus's words had nothing to do with him.
Even if Moen certainly wouldn't believe Ivan Doraeus, Laxus felt he had to issue a disclaimer: he and Ivan Doraeus had absolutely no connection whatsoever, and this was actually the first time they had met in all these years.
The father and son met for the first time under these circumstances, which was quite terrible. The few impressions Ivan Doraemon had of Laxus were gradually replaced by his current appearance.
"Indeed, he doesn't understand us at all."
Moen smiled and affirmed, looking at Laxus and extending his fist. Laxus, expressionless, bumped fists with him.
