Chapter 151 Becoming the Guild Master of Saberbite! The Past of Ulduar and Gildarts
"Wow! A stunningly beautiful woman with short hair in a swimsuit!"
Upon seeing Uru, who exuded a unique, slightly travel-worn air, Makarov's lecherous nature was instantly triggered. He skipped over and, feigning gentlemanly manners, asked if the other man would like to sit down and have a cup of tea.
"Damn it! How could the student council president be so fast?!"
"Damn it, I should have been bolder!"
Macao and Wakaba, who shared the same path, were filled with regret.
Mira frowned, hands on her hips, and followed after them: "President! You can't be so rude!"
Although she had never met Ultear, the master Gray had mentioned, she knew her because she had participated in the Tower of Paradise incident, and the two women chatted for a while on their way back to the Council.
Ultia looks so much like Uru, and coupled with the faint chill emanating from her, it's easy to guess her identity.
Of course, the most important evidence is still his exhibitionism, just like Grey's...
"Well, what does it matter? This beautiful and sexy lady must be Uru, the Ice-Making Mage who was once famous in the Northern Continent, right?"
Makarov waved his hand, looked at Uru with a smile, and said, "Since you are Gray's master, then you are my friend!"
Mira was able to guess Uru's identity, so as a product of the old era of the magic world, Old Ma naturally couldn't possibly not know.
In fact, he had far more information than Mira!
"Oh dear, that was more than ten years ago. Now I'm just a newcomer who can't keep up with the times!" Uru scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
There was no element of modesty in that statement.
During her recent travels, she has heard many new magical concepts and theories, and witnessed the power of modern mages.
"If a newbie has this level of magic power, then our guild's newbies will have to find a hole to settle down in," Makarov said calmly.
At this moment, someone who was caught in the crossfire of Nazgray's daily battles and buried deep in the sand suddenly felt a sharp pain in his knee.
"Mr. Makarov, I have heard various rumors about you before."
Uru glanced at the unassuming old man standing before him, his tone slightly respectful, "When I was just a little kid, you were already a big shot in the magical world!"
"Haha, that's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
That being said, Makarov seemed to enjoy the mutual flattery, even straightening his slouching back and sporting a smug smile.
The father was naturally very happy to receive praise and affirmation from a beautiful woman in front of his children.
However, what Uru said next made his smile freeze instantly.
"For example, I still vividly remember the time you destroyed most of the town during your commission. By the way..."
There was also the matter of leveling the eastern mountains, which caused quite a stir at the time, and there was also the matter of a princess from a certain kingdom saying that—”
"Ahem!"
Makarov couldn't hold back any longer. He coughed heavily a couple of times and hurriedly invited Uru to sit down at the nearest table.
If she keeps revealing these things, I'll lose all face!
"Oh my, it seems the president was quite the passionate young man when he was younger~" Mira was delighted to hear this gossip.
"So, Old Ma, you deserve to be the president of Fairy Tail," Chess added, as he walked over slowly.
The other companions also gathered around, making a fuss, hoping to learn more exciting things from Uru, such as about the princess of a certain kingdom.
When it comes to making fun of their own people, Fairy Tail members always show a level of interest and passion that far surpasses that of other guilds.
What? The chairman's scandal?
Then there's even more reason to eat!
Makarov's face flushed slightly, and he could only resort to his tyranny, glaring at his companions with murderous eyes.
"Miss Uru, may I have a drink?" Mira asked as she returned to the bar.
Uru didn't stand on ceremony and casually raised his hand: "Red wine is fine, please."
"Okay." Mira got busy preparing drinks and snacks.
Uru turned to look at Chess, who was sitting next to Makarov, and said with a face full of gratitude, "Brother Chess, thank you so much for what happened on Karuna Island."
"Without you, I wouldn't even have the right to rediscover this world, let alone reunite with Ultear—"
"As the guild leader just said, Gray's master is a friend of the guild, so there's no need to worry about such a small matter," Chess said with a smile.
"That's right, it's an honor for this brat who always gets into so much trouble to be of any help!" Makarov raised his hand and patted Chess on the shoulder.
He had heard Gray talk about Karuna Island to some extent.
Although the old man also felt that absolute freeze was not so easy to break, since Chase did not explain further, he must have his difficulties.
As long as the result is good, that's fine.
Chase: "—" That old man Deng!
"Haha, even so, I will never forget this kindness."
Uru rested his cheek on his hand, looking at Chess with great interest, and sighed deeply, "It's a pity I'm not young enough, otherwise I would have had to repay you with my body."
"Hey Chess, what do you think of my Ultear? She's got a great figure!"
Boom!
The sound of a plate being placed on the table rang out.
"The red wine and snacks you requested."
Mira still had a faint smile on her face, but there was something wrong with that smile no matter how you looked at it.
"Oops, I think I said something bad without realizing it."
Uru, who had been through it all, immediately noticed something amiss, his ambiguous gaze constantly shifting between Chess and Mira.
"By the way, Uru, are you here to visit Gray?"
Chase quickly changed the subject, completely ignoring the other person's previous suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Mira's strange aura dissipated somewhat, and she turned to serve drinks to Cana, Macao, and the others who had raised their hands.
"I do have that idea in mind, but judging from the current situation, that idiot shouldn't be in the guild right now, right?"
Uru looked around the new guild, which was not yet fully completed, and said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, I should be rushing over here for a hug right now."
Gray would most likely not do something so shameful, but those two lecherous old men over there seem to have quite the urge.
In order to protect the guild's image, Chess thought about it and decided not to say such things.
"That's right, Gray and Natsu have gone on vacation to a tourist resort," Makarov nodded.
"So he's on vacation? What an unambitious brat!"
Uru muttered a complaint, swirling the wine in his glass, thinking of his encounter with the Fairy Tail mage eight years ago, "Where's Gildarts? I haven't seen him either?"
"Miss Uru, do you know Gildarts?" Chase asked with a puzzled look.
Having only read the original work, he didn't remember any connection between the two.
"Hmm—I met him once more than ten years ago when I was fighting the Snowball Monster."
Uru took a sip of red wine, a reminiscent smile playing on his lips. "That man was very powerful, but a bit frivolous. He tried to hit on me under the guise of forming a team, but I refused."
Although it was more than ten years ago, for her who had been frozen for many years, it was only a short time. The scene of meeting and getting to know Gildarts was still vivid in her mind.
"Slay the Snowball Monster? I think I know which quest it is."
Makarov was deeply impressed by this monster that had once posed a serious threat to the northern continent, and exclaimed, "Fate is truly wondrous—"
"However, Gildarts hasn't returned to the guild for three years."
Uru breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, I see. I'm relieved. When I first arrived, I was wondering how to deal with him."
"So what are your plans next? How about joining Fairy Tail?" Makarov offered an olive branch at the opportune moment.
Whether it's the middle generation like Gildarts and Marcao, or the younger generation like Chess and Erza, the current guilds are full of troublemakers.
If he could bring in the strong and steady Uru, he would definitely have a lot less to worry about!
"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Makarov, I don't have any plans in that regard at the moment."
Uru declined Makarov's invitation, saying, "Although joining a mage guild is the best way to understand the current state of magic, it feels a bit strange to be in the same guild as my apprentice."
"Moreover, I prefer a free and unrestrained life."
In fact, she had already visited the Serpent Scales where Leon was located before coming to Magnolia.
President Oba, who kept chanting "spinning around," and Iwatekura, one of the Ten Saints, also extended invitations to her to join the association.
"I see. That's a bit of a shame, but Fairy Tail's doors are always open for you."
Makarov noticed the determination in Uru's eyes, sighed, and didn't try to persuade him to stay.
"Yes! Thank you for your kindness." Uru bowed slightly.
"It seems you're preparing to settle in Ishgar, aren't you?" Makarov asked in turn.
"That's right. Many years have passed, and there aren't many friends left in the Northern Continent. The overall level of magic cultivation is also not high."
Uru lowered his eyes, staring at the wine glass on the table. "Besides, Greylion and—Urudia are both here."
"Ah, I almost forgot your daughter is a member of the council."
Makarov covered his head in frustration and blurted out his true intentions, "I was hoping you could stay near my house!"
Mira, carrying a tray of food, passed by and gave him a speechless look: How can someone so old still have such indecent and lewd fantasies!
In comparison, doesn't the guy next to me who's a dead card player seem a bit better?
"About this—to be honest, I haven't made a decision yet."
When Ultear was mentioned, a faint look of confusion and sadness appeared on Ultear's face. "I don't know why, but that child Ultear seems to be deliberately avoiding me."
Before Fairy Tail and Boa Hancock Scale, she first went to the Fairy Council headquarters.
However, he hadn't seen his beloved daughter for several days in a row.
The staff's responses were always quite clear: Urutia did not want to see her.
Uru couldn't understand what was going on, but Chess knew the reason perfectly well:
Ultear, burdened with so many sins, simply didn't have the courage to face her mother who loved her most!
Makarov remained silent as well.
He didn't know the connection between Ultear and the Devil's Heart, but he already knew from Mira that Ultear was the instigator of the Tower of Paradise.
This is a matter between the mother and daughter; outsiders have no right to interfere.
The harmonious atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat heavy.
Looking at Uru's troubled face, a thought suddenly flashed through Chess's mind.
"Uru, I have a way to force Urutia to meet with you."
"What method?!" Uru instantly perked up.
Chess calmly picked up the fried pork from the plate, popped it into his mouth, and smiled as he held up one finger: "Become the president of a legitimate guild."
The Council is the organization that manages the guild. As long as Uru attends various meetings as the guild leader, Urutia, as a councilor, cannot avoid them!
"Brother Chess, stop joking. Where am I supposed to find someone to start a guild right now?" Uru sighed deeply.
Theoretically speaking, this method is indeed feasible.
But putting aside whether she, who loves freedom, has the ability to manage a guild, how could she, who has just been "resurrected" and has no connections or reputation, be qualified to establish a guild in the unfamiliar Ishgar?
After finishing her work, Mira sat down next to Chess and said with a smile, "Miss Uru doesn't need to find someone specifically; there's already a guild available."
"I see, that's quite a good suggestion!" Makarov had also guessed Chess's idea.
Uru was a little confused by the two people's reactions and couldn't figure it out.
It was Chess who spoke up to answer her question: "There's a small guild called Saberbite Tiger that's on the verge of disbanding. If you, Uru, are willing to take it over, it shouldn't be too difficult."
"A Saber-Biting Tiger?" Uru frowned slightly.
She was familiar with the name.
The battle between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord was quite a big deal a while ago, and because it was Gray's guild, she paid special attention to the whole process.
Among them, Phantom Lord used Sabertooth as a sacrifice to formally declare war on Fairy Tail!
"Although the former guild leader did a lot of shady things, I've looked into it, and the members are all very good kids with great potential."
Makarov noticed Uru's headache and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you just say that joining a guild would help you better understand the current state of magic? Becoming the guild master of Sabertooth is definitely the fastest way."
Having Ul, who trained such an excellent child as Gray, take over Sabertooth would be the best outcome for both Ul and Minerva.
Chase, that kid, usually seems unserious, but his idea is actually pretty good!
Makarov's impression of Chess improved somewhat: it was indeed the right decision to make him a candidate for the next president!
"But will they accept me, an outsider? And what about the council—" Uru was clearly tempted.
Besides her daughter and two disciples, what she cared about most was her exploration of the demonic path.
And becoming the president of Saberbite Tiger seems to be able to perfectly take care of both aspects!
"The council is easy to deal with. Those old fogies still owe us a huge favor. I'll just write a letter of recommendation."
Makarov seemed quite confident about this, saying, "As for Sabertooth, you don't have a direct connection to Fairy Tail, so the difficulty shouldn't be too high."
"Or rather, they've long been a hot potato, and they're just hoping a powerful mage will take over!"
