"Welcome back!"
Seeing the youth at the door, the wizards of Fairy Tail lifted their cups in unison. It was clear that the youth was not a minor figure in the guild.
The Ezranis who mistakenly mistook George for Harpy earlier burst into laughter:
"Natsu, I heard you've done something big again in Harujion..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, a heavy foot landed squarely on his face. Following that, the entire person flew out, destroying several tables and also knocking several mages away.
"You gave me fake information about the fire dragon before!"
The youth shouted angrily with his face flushed.
"How fast his speed is, isn't this guy supposed to be a fire mage? Why is his physical body so strong!"
At this moment, George, standing on the round stool at the front, showed a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Since the youth's name is Natsu, and he is carrying a magic cat that looks like him, it should be the strongest fire mage of the Fairy Tail, "Dragon," who is introduced in the magic magazine. He specializes in fire-based magic.
However, just now, the youth ran from the door to the front of the Ezranis mage, barely showing any afterimage, and his kick was quite powerful.
These displays were much stronger than the close-combat dark mage he had previously killed.
"It's no wonder that he's a well-known mage of Fairy Tail. He really does have a different personality from ordinary mages."
George did not feel afraid, but instead secretly rejoiced.
With such strength from a "Dragon" named Natsu, one can imagine that the S-class above must be even stronger, and the Saint Magi is undoubtedly the strongest of all.
He is not afraid of the powerful mages in this world, but he fears the weak mages in this world.
Because the upper limit of the mages in this world is higher, it means he can reach a higher upper limit.
If the most powerful mage in this world is not stronger than him, then it's likely that learning the magic of this world will also be difficult for him to become powerful.
"I didn't know that the information was false. I was just telling you what I heard in a good-hearted way, Natsu. Are you really going to fight? I'll accompany you!"
The Ezranis mage pulled his head out of the wooden floor and charged at Natsu with a rageful expression.
Their exchange led to the other mages also being caught in the fray, shouting in anger and joining the battle, which quickly escalated into a fierce all-out war among the guild's mages.
George can see that these guys haven't really gone all-out, because they are relying on their physical strength in close combat.
However, he was still slightly shocked.
As for mages like Natsu, Gray, and Rochi who are well-known, that's understandable. But even those without a reputation, when not using magic, their physical strength is not weak at all.
Normal people who are blasted into the wall or have their heads impaled in the floor would likely be seriously injured, if not killed, but these mages just grumble and get up, continuing to join the battle as if nothing happened.
As the battle raged on, these mages began to lose their cool.
The blonde girl who had come with the youth, who was initially in a hurry to break up the fight, finally couldn't contain herself and joined the battle after Gray was ambushed by Natsu, causing him to lose his trousers and run over in his bare buttocks to borrow underwear from her.
"That's why they're called the most troublesome mage guild!"
George looked at the guild hall that was in ruins and about to become a rubble heap, and at the mages from Fairy Tail who were surrounding him, their magic circles beginning to glow as they prepared to showcase their magical prowess.
He couldn't help but recall the uniform praise for Fairy Tail guild that was printed in each issue of the magazine.
"Stop right now, you bunch of idiots! Are you trying to destroy the guild?"
At this moment, George suddenly heard a roar from upstairs. He looked up to see a frail old man, barely over one meter tall, leap down from the second floor corridor.
As he fell, his body rapidly expanded and soon transformed into a giant towering seven or eight meters tall.
Seeing the giant appear, the other mages stopped fighting and scattered to the corners, frightened. Only Natsu was laughing loudly, clasping his waist.
"Ha ha ha! Look how scared you all are. This match is mine!"
However, his laughter was quickly cut off, for the next moment, he was squashed under the giant's foot and nearly fainted.
George looked at the white-haired old man with muscles that were bursting out of his shirt, which was nearly touching the top of the guild hall, with a shocked expression on his cat face.
"That's Fairy Tail's Guild Master, one of the Ten Saint Magicians, Makarov, and his Giant Magic?"
Over these two days while gathering intelligence, he certainly didn't forget about the strongest mage of Fairy Tail, also one of the strongest mages in the kingdom, Makarov.
According to his understanding, Makarov was skilled in many kinds of magic, but the two most famous were called Giant Magic and Light Magic.
Giant Magic was a type of magic that allowed a person to enlarge part or all of their body, and this enlargement wasn't just an illusion but actually increased their physical strength and defense.
In his understanding, it was akin to the magical equivalent of "transforming into a world-conquering figure," and it was said to have no upper limit; the more powerful the mana, and the deeper the research into this magic, the larger one could become.
It was said that there were mages in ancient times who used Giant Magic to move a mountain that was a kilometer high, but this was just a legend, and it was hard to tell if it was true or not.
At least, it could be confirmed that the Giant Magic was indeed very strong, otherwise Makarov wouldn't be one of the Ten Saint Magicians, and the Fairy Tail mages wouldn't have scattered so quickly.
Over these two days, while selecting his magic, he had given it serious thought.
There are too many types of magic in this world, and each type requires a lot of effort to master. In order to quickly improve his strength, he had to focus on learning one or two magic in the early stage.
So which magic should he choose?
He only had a superficial understanding of the magic in this world through magical books, and he couldn't discern which type of magic was more powerful or promising.
So he thought of the simplest solution, that is, to learn the magic used by the most powerful mages, because it would be the easiest to mistake nothing.
The ten most powerful Saint Magicians in this world, and the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, who he was about to join, was one of them.
The result was clear: naturally, he should learn the same magic as the Fairy Tail Guild Master. That way, he would have someone to ask for help in the future.
In fact, he had a preference for Giant Magic itself, not because he liked to engage in close combat, but as an elegant mage, he absolutely didn't want to get close to people and fight.
He was afraid of death, and close combat was far less safe than throwing magic from a distance.
He knew that the greatest weakness of mages was their physical bodies, even though a wizard's body could withstand more punishment than an ordinary person's. However, if the vital points were attacked, death would be instantaneous.
But if he learns Giant Magic, that can greatly alleviate this weakness.
When the enemy manages to carry your magic and approach you, thinking they could use their fists to teach you a lesson, you suddenly transform into a giant and tell them what true despair feels like.
Most importantly, in case he encounters magic immunity or anti-magic situations in the future, Giant Magic can be used on himself to deal enough physical damage to break through the deadlock.
