"Loquats! Laquats!"

    When Thor saw Laquats lying on the ground without any movement, with extensive burns on her body, and passed out, he immediately got nervous and shouted as he rushed over.

    Makarov and the other mage wizards of Fairy Tail also rushed up with worried expressions.

    After all, Laquats was still his grandson. Although Makarov was angry with him for acting carelessly and causing trouble, he still loved him deeply in his heart.

    The other Fairy Tail mage wizards also considered Laquats and the Thor's Crowds as their companions in their hearts. It was okay to scold him once, but they didn't think he would really die.

    "Don't worry, I'll treat him myself."

    George landed from the air, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief at once.

    They know George possesses a lost healing magic, so they don't think Laquats will die due to such severe injuries.

    And George reached out with his cat's paw to press on Laquas's forehead, ready to cast a healing spell, when he suddenly discovered something. His eyes flickered, and he deliberately put on an expression of shock.

    "Oh no, I might have applied too much force just now. His internal organs have been burned, I'm afraid."

    "What!"

    Upon hearing George's words, everyone's faces changed dramatically.

    Makarov's eyes turned red, and he hugged Laquas's head, tears flowing down his face.

    "Laquats, hold on, grandpa won't let you die. Grandpa will take you to see Aunty Perfecica. She can save you!"

    It's all because of Grandpa. Grandpa shouldn't have kept it from you, he should have told you the truth about your father sooner. It's all Grandpa's fault for you."

    The eyes of all the Fairy Tail mage wizards also turned red simultaneously.

    At this moment, the blue light suddenly shone from the magic wand in George's hand, and the burns on Laquats's body healed at a speed visible to the eye.

    "It's a joke, his injuries aren't that serious."

    It turns out that when George's paw was placed on Laquats' forehead, he found that Laquats's brain was still conscious, but he didn't open his eyes. This might be because he was defeated by George and the collapse of his long-standing beliefs left him unable to face it.

    That's why he staged this whole thing, so Laquats could see the feelings that Makarov and everyone else have towards him.

    "Grandpa, I was wrong!"

    At this moment, Laquats also opened his eyes. His eyes were red, with tears shining.

    "You naughty boy"

    Makarov, watching Laquats wake up, couldn't stop the tears from flowing down his face.

    And Mirajin flew back into the air, holding a magic microphone and announcing:

    "The champion of this tournament, the next president of Fairy Tail, is our Cat George!"

    The residents of the coastal town erupted in the loudest cheers and applause.

    The competition just now was absolutely thrilling, especially that all-consuming fire spell at the end. It truly made them realize the power of the Fairy Tail mages.

    At this moment, many children from the local area, as well as those from out-of-town parents with children watching the performance, planted a dream in their hearts to become mage in the future and to join the powerful Fairy Tail mage guild.

    Repaired like nothing happened, George waved his hand, and the small island that had started to crumble due to the fight was restored to normal.

    The champion has been decided, and now it's time for the battle between the second and third place.

    However, George didn't expect that the mage who obtained the second place according to the competition rules was actually Lucy.

    Because Elza's magic power had been exhausted due to the fight with Laquats and she was seriously injured and unconscious, she could no longer participate in the battle for the second and third places. Lucy directly advanced to the top three.

    And after Laquas's battle with George, he also didn't have the strength to continue fighting with Lucy, nor did he want to fight with his companions anymore.

    Lucy won without fighting, directly advancing to the runner-up position.

    Therefore, the champion of this tournament is George, Lucy ranks second, and Laquats ranks third.

    "This guy, could it be that he's actually the true protagonist of this world?"

    Upon returning to the guild and seeing Lucy jumping around with excitement, having won the top prize of 200,000, George couldn't help but stroke his beard.

    He knew that there must be a protagonist in every world, and the luck of the protagonist was usually very good.

    Previously, he thought it might be one of Natsu, Grey, Erza, or Laquas, but now he actually felt that Lucy was more like the protagonist.

    "I have two things to announce to everyone."

    After having a heart-to-heart talk with Laquats, Makarov descended from the upstairs and announced to the crowd gathered in the hall:

    "Firstly, George is ready to accept the Centennial Task. After completing it, he will return to take on the position of guild president, and I can retire."

    "Is the Centennial Task the one that Kiddo accepted three years ago, but no one has completed?"

    Upon hearing that George had accepted the Centennial Task, the magicians began to discuss among themselves.

    However, they didn't worry too much about George, as he had defeated Laquats with overwhelming strength in the competition and even didn't need to use the giant magic to defeat Freida.

    Although the Centennial Task had never been completed, they had faith in George.

    "Secondly, because Laquas intended to use the Shrine of Echoing Thunder to attack the town and our guildmates, I have expelled him from the guild in my capacity as guild president!"

    Makarov continued speaking with a somewhat melancholic expression.

    The Laquats next to him, however, lowered his head and obviously accepted this decision.

    "What, President? There's no need to do that."

    "Laquats was just joking with us."

    "Expelling the guild is too severe."

    The crowd began to beg for Laquas's forgiveness, but it was clear that Makarov had already made up his mind.

    At this moment, George spoke up.

    "Let's do as the president has decided, since he has already made up his mind.

    But that's okay. Once the Centennial Task is over and I return, I'll be the guild president anyway.

    And my first decision as the guild president will be to re-admit Laquas to the guild.

    Laquats definitely already possesses the power of Ten Saints. Such a level mage wizard, he won't let the guild president truly expel him from the guild.

    "You'll be the guild president then, and naturally, it will be your decision."

    Makarlov looked at George, his tone was both helpless and touched.

    He didn't really want to expel Laquats, but it was a decision he had to make as the president of the guild. However, George cleverly found a way to achieve both sides' needs.

    Over there, Laquas suddenly looked up at George and muttered something in a low voice:

    "Thank you."

    Upon seeing this, the atmosphere returned to its joyful mood.

    "Get ready for the magical grand parade tonight. George, come with me to the basement."

    Makarov waved his hand, leading George to the basement.

    "Now that you'll be the future president, it's time for you to know some secrets that only the guild president is aware of."

    "This place must be where the three supreme magic of Fairy Tail is kept."

    George's heart suddenly dawned when he saw Makarov bringing him to the sealed door in the basement.

    He had long thought that the powerful seal here must contain some of the strongest magic in the guild.
