The current "Feimo Alliance" is still the same as before, with the presidents taking turns to preside over meetings, and it does not have a very strict organizational structure.
The establishment of the "Feimo Alliance Special Operations Force" is indeed a significant change, gradually transforming this forum-based alliance into a more tightly organized entity.
"I suggest that we also elect a true leader to truly unite the mage guild of our Kingdom of Fiore."
One of the association presidents stepped forward and put forward a new suggestion.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, and no one responded.
In fact, there was a reason why the predecessor of the "Phi-Magic Alliance," the former "President's Regular Meeting," was always held in this relaxed manner; they had to give the "Magic Council" some face.
If they really manage to create a well-organized local guild alliance, wouldn't that be equivalent to the "Kingdom of Fiore"?
Is this a version of "Magic Council"?
The Magic Council manages all magical affairs on the continent of Ishgar, essentially acting as the government of the magical world. Its branch in the Kingdom of Fiore is equivalent to a provincial governor's office.
Even though the "Fiore Kingdom" has the backing of the "Fiore Kingdom" and has become the officially recognized mage guild management organization of the "Fiore Kingdom", it still has not aroused the vigilance of the "Magic Council".
Because the "Phi Magic Alliance" has a loose organizational structure and still resembles a magic forum, when something happens in a local area, the local mage guild still contacts the "Magic Council".
When a major event occurs in a country or region, the Magic Council usually cooperates with the local mage guild.
This has always been the operating model of the "Magic Council." There's no other way; the continent of Ishgar is too big, and it would be impossible to manage it without doing it this way.
The change in the nature of the "Phi-Magic Alliance" will definitely provoke the "Magic Council".
Because the mages' guilds of the Kingdom of Fiore no longer sought their help, but instead went to the Fiore Magic Alliance, they effectively uprooted them. The Magic Council's branch in the Kingdom of Fiore became completely useless.
In fact, Fairy Tail's "Special Operations Unit" had already attracted the attention of the Magic Council.
However, because Moen had a legitimate reason for coming, and the matter involved the "Black Dragon," they held back and did not try to make their presence known.
Moreover, it would be a miracle if Moen and Fairy Tail didn't cause them trouble. For example, Fairy Tail had already taken back Magnolia's magical law enforcement authority.
The Magic Council has no say in Magnolia's affairs now.
It's alright for a city, since it's Moen's fiefdom and there's only one mage guild, Fairy Tail.
The Magic Council swallowed this thorn and did not confront Fairy Tail head-on.
But now that the "Fiore Alliance" has officially started, it means that the entire "Fiore Kingdom" will no longer be under the control of the "Magic Council," which is obviously no small matter.
In the entire magical world, the Kingdom of Fiore holds an important position. It has a rich magical atmosphere, numerous mage guilds, and has produced a large number of excellent and famous mages. Even the king is obsessed with magical adventure stories.
For the Magic Council, the Kingdom of Fiore is an absolutely vital stronghold that cannot be lost. The Fiore Alliance, which attempts to seize power, will definitely be viewed with hostility by the Magic Council. In a sense, this is no different from a rebellion.
"What's done is done."
Goldman pushed up his glasses, breaking the silence. He said only a very short sentence, but it conveyed his meaning.
Just now, the "Fei Magic Alliance" officially recognized the "Special Operations Force" that Moen had set up to help everywhere, making it a permanent force and freeing everyone from their dependence on the "Magic Council".
This is clearly not permitted by the Magic Council, as it has touched upon the core interests of the Magic Council.
Since we've already offended the "Magic Council," we might as well go all out and get the entire "Phi-Magic Alliance" structure set up so that everyone can truly regain control.
"There's no need to be so radical."
Bob shook his head, rejecting Goldman's idea. He felt that the existence of the "Magic Council" was not a bad thing. The "Fairy Alliance" could coexist with the "Magic Council". Having two places to seek help was a good thing for everyone, wasn't it?
"I'm afraid they don't want to coexist."
Oba Barbasoma sneered. After living for so long, didn't she know what kind of people the bureaucrats of the Magic Council were?
"With Guild Master Moen here, how could the Magic Council possibly turn against us?"
Before Moen could even speak, someone had already brought him up. As a mage who was almost destined to suppress an era, everyone treated Moen with utmost respect.
This respect is not only because of Moen's great strength, but also because of Moen's righteous act of helping the Junior Mage Guild.
Some people become successful but only care about enjoying themselves, while others become successful and truly benefit the world.
Of course, it might be an exaggeration to say that Moen and Fairy Tail are benevolent to the world, but it's certainly true that they are benevolent to the entire magic guild of the Fiore Kingdom. Fairy Tail is willing to share its success with everyone.
Therefore, within the entire "Feimo Alliance," the leaders are generally supporters of Moen. If a leader were to be chosen, it would undoubtedly be "who else but Moen," and there would be absolutely no other candidate.
"Cough cough."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Moen coughed twice.
"I think Chairman Bob makes a good point."
Moen spoke softly. He wasn't radical; in fact, if he really were, he would have done something similar with the last "reorganization of the Magic Council."
Then he can take action, find a way to get rid of the old guys in the "Magic Council", and then use a bunch of puppets to forcibly take control of the "Magic Council".
But doing that is far too underhanded; it's not even a question of whether the position is legitimate or not—it's purely the work of a villain.
Therefore, Moen did not make a move, allowing the "Magic Council" to be reorganized. It was not that he did not want to make a move, but that the time was not right. At that time, his strength, status, and reputation were not as good as they are now, at least not to the point where he could rally the masses to respond.
Now, within the Kingdom of Fiore, if Moen were to raise his voice, everyone would naturally be willing to follow him.
"The necessary structure can certainly be built, but we must still coexist with the Magic Council, rather than turning against them."
We intend to replace the Magic Council branch of the Kingdom of Fiore and then directly integrate ourselves into the Magic Council system.
Moen expressed his thoughts: although the Magic Council was corrupt, it was still a governing body with positive functions. He did not want to fall out with the Magic Council directly, or even to the point of having to resort to violence to fight for power.
Everyone should compromise and give each other face. The "Fei Magic Alliance" will be semi-autonomous, managing itself, but still under the "Magic Council" and subject to the central command of the "Magic Council". If anything serious happens, the "Fei Magic Alliance" will still provide manpower and support.
"We'll let them treat the Fiore Alliance as a mage guild, with the leader being the guild master, and the Kingdom of Fiore like Magnolia, a fiefdom belonging to the Fiore Alliance."
Moen offered a perspective that, if considered this way, might make the "Magic Council" more accepting.
Treat "Fiore Alliance" as a mage guild, the only mage guild in the Kingdom of Fiore. If anything happens in the Kingdom of Fiore, you can talk to the "President of the Fiore Alliance Guild".
"Great idea! It's much easier to accept this way!"
As soon as Moen finished speaking, someone immediately echoed his sentiments, and everyone praised the idea, finding it very interesting.
But everyone understands that just because they find it acceptable doesn't mean the "Magic Council" thinks so. After all, they've lost such a large piece of territory. What will happen to all the employees of the branch? And how will the hidden interests be compensated?
Why do the people of the Kingdom of Fiore want to break free from the constraints of the Magic Council and create their own Fiore Magic Alliance? Ultimately, it's all about profit and better survival.
The Magic Council isn't a charity; they need money to pay salaries and maintain combat troops. Who pays for that? Of course, it's the people they manage—the Mage Guild.
The current situation is that the "Fairy Alliance" can take on all the functions of the "Magic Council" while also sharing the pie with everyone, instead of letting everyone become the pie on the table.
Comparing the two, it's obvious which one people would choose.
No matter how charismatic Moen is, he can't really make the guild leaders follow him in rebellion against the "Magic Council" regardless of the consequences. Everything is just driven by interests, and Moen is the one who can make the pie bigger.
"Okay, let's vote on whether or not to reform the system now."
After a period of discussion, the meeting chair announced the start of the vote, which was likely the most important vote in the history of the "Phimo Alliance," as it would completely change the "Phimo Alliance" from then on.
The meeting room quieted down, and the voting ended quickly. The result was almost identical to the last time. This time, there wasn't even a single vote against it. The chairpersons were truly united in their efforts.
However, there were still those who abstained, which is inevitable. After all, there are always people who can't make up their minds. They can't decide whether to support or oppose, so in the end they can only choose to "abstain." This can probably be considered a kind of "following the crowd" mentality. Whichever side has more people choosing it, they will follow that side's decision.
"I nominate President Moen to be the leader of the alliance!"
Immediately after the proposal was passed, a new proposal was put forward. Everyone couldn't help but look at the person who had spoken. The president stood tall and proud, looking like he had "only one sun in my heart," with an extremely firm expression on his face.
"I second that!"
"I second that!"
The others also realized what was happening and chimed in with their own opinions.
Moen didn't speak; instead, he looked at the guild leaders present, who seemed to have a high level of support for him.
"Alright, let's continue with the vote on the proposal to appoint President Moen as the first leader of the Fiore Kingdom Mage Guild Alliance."
Without any hesitation, the meeting chairperson immediately started voting again.
The vote results came out much faster this time, with almost a unanimous vote in favor. Why "almost"? Because Moen himself abstained.
"Why is there still one dissenting vote? Who is it?"
Looking at the final vote, Goldman asked in confusion. He thought it would be a "unanimous vote" or at the very least a few "abstentions". To his surprise, there were even "dissenting votes".
"I voted for it."
Oba Barbasoma, fanning herself, spoke frankly and without any attempt to conceal her true feelings, representing "Boa Suzaku's Scale" in her opposition.
Why?
Makarov asked Obha Barbasoma with a displeased expression.
As the president's advisor, the old man naturally came along as well. He had been silent, pretending not to exist, but now he really couldn't hold back anymore. Oba Barbara, that annoying old woman, just loves to annoy people!
"Because there needs to be dissenting voices."
Before Ouba Barbasoma could speak, Moen spoke first.
That incredibly sunny face wore a gentle smile, and he wasn't angry about the inexplicable "no vote." Instead, he seemed to understand Obafae Barbara.
"That's right, the Fairy Tail Alliance cannot become your personal fiefdom, Moen Dole's personal fiefdom, nor can it become your personal fiefdom, Fairy Tail's personal fiefdom."
Ouba Barbasoma nodded, looking at Moen with a sense of relief, saying that she was quite happy that Moen could understand and accept this.
Oba Barbasama doesn't actually oppose Moen becoming the leader. "Snake Scales" also benefits from the pie that Moen has grown. In fact, these already powerful guilds are able to get even more. She should support Moen.
Moen's personal reputation, his creation of the "Grand Magic Martial Arts," his vigorous promotion of the national railway network, and his strong support for the research of various magical items—all of these have greatly benefited the development of the entire "Fiore Kingdom's Magic World," making the "Fiore Kingdom" a true holy land for mages.
Even the "Fiore Kingdom Magic World," and the entire "Ishgar Continent Magic World," are influenced by Moen; he is truly a trendsetter in this era.
Such a person is undoubtedly one of the two candidates for "Leader of the Felmages Alliance". Obah Barbasoma would lie and say that no one is more suitable than Moen.
However, she wanted the "Feimo Alliance" to become Moen's personal fiefdom. Her purpose in casting the "disagreement" vote was to remind Moen that becoming the "leader" would make him arrogant.
