In the Harry Potter world, while George is splitting his attention to hunt dragons, another George in the Fairy Tail world finally received information about dragons again from Makarov's mouth.
"George, I noticed that you've been asking about dragon news recently?"
Sitting at the bar and drinking, Makarov looked somewhat serious as he asked George.
George nodded:
"Yes, President, I have been studying a magic, but this magic requires me to first become a Dragon-slayer Magic Master."
"So I must find a dragon crystal within two months."
Two months is roughly the time it takes for him to complete the Animagus transformation.
"Ah, I see."
Makarov hesitated on his face for a while, then seemed to make a certain decision, and then slowly said:
"Since this will help you on your path to magical advancement and your strength is indeed sufficient to give it a try, then I shall tell you."
"Have you heard of the Centurial Mission?"
If it were before, he would never mention the Centurial Mission to George, because even though George had the strength of an S-level Magus, he was extremely dangerous.
So even though Natsu has been searching for dragons, he never revealed anything to Natsu.
It's just that he's afraid that Natsu would be too impulsive and not strong enough to go, which would just be a death sentence.
But after hearing Erza's report of the whole process of Paradise Tower, he thought that George might really be able to try it out.
"The Centurial Mission, that's the rumored highest-level task in the entire magical world that no one has been able to complete, and this task is related to dragons?"
George immediately brightened up his eyes.
Makarov nodded:
"Yes, it is indeed related to dragons, but I cannot say more. You will only find out the specifics when you accept the task and arrive there."
But I want to remind you that no one has been able to complete this task for a hundred years, and all the Magus who have taken on the task have failed and died.
Even our guild's Kiddas, who took the task three years ago, still have no news of return.
"Kiddas Klevi, that's the S-class Magus of the guild everyone talks about."
George's heart stirred. He had heard about Kiddas Klevi, who was said to have a strong power.
"Although he is an S-class Magus, I have to tell you that his true strength has actually exceeded mine."
And he still hasn't completed the task in three years, so I advise you to consider your decision carefully before you make it."
Makarov's expression became increasingly serious.
"The strength exceeds that of the president, it's a Magus of the level of Holy Ten. A Magus of Holy Ten has been in death for three years and has no news, it's really not an ordinary task. It's no wonder it's said to be related to dragons."
George furrowed his brow and thought for a moment, then flicked his tail and replied:
"Since it's related to dragons, I want to try it out. Maybe I can run into Kiddas and we can come back together to complete the task."
Is this task dangerous?
Of course, it's dangerous. His overall strength is at the level of a Holy Ten Magus, and the fact that Kiddas hasn't returned in three years indicates that the difficulty of the task is something even a normal Holy Ten might not be able to handle.
To be quite honest, he believes that Kiddas might have already died during the task, considering that he hasn't returned in three years.
But he's different. His purpose in taking this task is not to complete it, but to find clues about dragons and become a Dragon Slayer Magus.
So whether the task is completed or not is not important.
If he really encounters insurmountable danger, he will definitely abandon the task and save his life.
Besides, he has confidence in his ability to escape.
If he wanted to escape, even if ten Holy Magi tried to keep him, it wouldn't be easy.
However, it really surprised him that Makarov could tell him about this task.
It's worth noting that now the entire Fairy Tail Guild relies on his repair magic to achieve positive growth in wealth.
If he goes on the Centurial Mission, the guild will return to its previous state. If he were to die in the mission, President might collapse.
He estimated that he would have to slowly study the repair spells he left in the library.
But think about it carefully, it's also in line with the president's personality. The president has always advocated that the Magus of the guild should firmly pursue their own magical path, even if the guild is on the verge of bankruptcy, the president has never changed.
Now he is searching for dragons to pursue his own magical path, so the president naturally also thinks of him, without considering too much.
"Since you have made your decision, then go accept the task when the harvest festival is over!"
Seeing that George had made up his mind, Makarov didn't say anything else, but reminded him:
"Your life is the most important. If you can't complete the task, you can always continue in the future."
While encouraging George to boldly pursue his own magical path, as the president, he also cares deeply about the safety of each and every Magus in the guild and doesn't want any of them to be killed on a mission.
"Understood, President!"
George nodded. He always believed that saving one's life is the most important.
The annual Harvest Festival is the most important holiday in Fairy Tail. On that day, almost all the Magus of Fairy Tail who can return will come back to celebrate. In the evening, Fairy Tail will perform magic parade in town.
Many citizens from other towns will come to watch as well, making the whole town very lively and festive.
The Harvest Festival is tomorrow, and the whole town has already started preparations. According to the report, there will be a Fairy Tail Miss Competition tomorrow during the day, and Elza, Mila, and other female Magus have already signed up to participate.
"Oh, did Gale return?"
After his recovery, Gerard joined Fairy Tail and formed a team with the few from Paradise Tower to do missions daily.
A few days ago, Gerard suddenly told the President he had some personal matters to attend to and left.
George, although not knowing the specific situation, had seen some of Gerard's memories and guessed that he was going to deal with some personal issues with himself and the dark guild.
After being influenced by Uritia, Gerard learned many magics from a black Magus, who is now the leader of the six dark unions, one of the strongest three dark guilds.
The Six Demons General is indeed strong, but Gerard is not weak either, so George has little worry.
But as companions in the same guild, showing concern is necessary.
The main reason is that he has been studying celestial magic with Gerard these days and still has many things he doesn't understand.
"He sent a message back using a mag crystal saying that he hasn't finished dealing with it, so he should be missing the harvest festival."
Makarov waved his hand in response.
"That's quite a shame."
George sighed. He was planning to ask Gerard some questions about celestial magic before he went to accept the Centurial Mission, hoping that Gerard could come back in time.
Now it seems that he'll have to wait until after completing the Centurial Mission or becoming a Dragon Slayer Magus to discuss it.
