Chapter 367 Letter from the Council
Hearing his words, the debtor, who had finally been happy for a few minutes, suddenly became unhappy. Of course, the main reason was Cana and Lucy.
However, they were already very experienced in delaying payment, so they were not panicked at all, especially Kana. If Lucy still had a long way to go before she could pay back the money, then Kana already had hope.
"Kana Kana~your account..."
"I'm already S-rank now, right? I'll get it soon after completing a few missions in a few days!" Kana sat on the table, carelessly holding a half-person-high barrel of wine, her face flushed from drinking, "I'm not the kind of person who would default on my debts!"
Makao and Wakaba, two old smokers and drinking buddies, sat nearby with expressions of disbelief on their faces: "It's hard to believe, I didn't expect that Kana would become S-rank this year!"
"That's right. Natsu, Gray, Felide and others are here too. I don't know what they are doing."
Boom!
Two large glasses of wine were thrown in front of the two people. Kana shouted drunkenly: "Huh? You two old guys, are you dissatisfied with my strength?"
“No…no…”
"Drink it! Today I'll let you see the drinking capacity of an S-class!"
"What do you mean by S-level drinking capacity? You sound like something has changed..."
But before Kana and the two old smokers could start drinking, Gildarts, , came over and put his arm around Kana's neck: "I'm Kana's dad!"
"I know, I know... You've said this three times!"
"Really? Hahaha!!!" Gildarts laughed and pulled Kana to the others to show off, "Do you know? I am..."
Wakaba exhaled a puff of smoke: "Really, how many times is he going to say it..."
Makao laughed: "After all, it's normal to have this reaction after knowing that you're a father!"
"When Cana first joined the guild, she was still so young!"
"Yes, at that time..."
As they talked, the two began to reminisce again, and then a relieved smile appeared on their faces.
Seeing Cana being dragged away by Gildarts, Kira turned his firepower to another nearby victim. He walked up to the victim and put on a kind smile: "Lucy, the repayment date is almost here this month! Have you saved my money?"
Lucy: “!!!”
Since the beginning of this month, Natsu and others who have been working with Lucy have been frantically doing personal tasks, so that she has been completely left behind. Later, she studied the "Star Chart History" given by Kira, and then worked hard for Cana's assessment, so she had zero income this month.
“Well… uh, hahaha…”
"It's no use laughing it off!" Kira enjoyed the fun of this kind of manipulation. "Starting tomorrow, work hard to pay back the money!"
In the end, Lucy did not drag Natsu to work. They had been taking missions crazily before, which was enough to cover expenses for a short period of time. In addition, they faced so many enemies in this assessment, so they decided to take a good rest.
Of course there is another reason, which is that Dragon Slayers such as Natsu have suffered from the aftereffects of overusing magic power.
Kira originally thought that after he purified the energy of the magic spirit power, there would be no sequelae - in fact, during the current battle and in the few days after the battle, the bodies of several dragon slayers did not show any abnormalities - but for some reason, they suddenly felt weak again.
Wendy was fine, she didn't eat much at the time, just a little tired; but the other three were in a worse situation, especially Natsu and Gajeel, who were completely exhausted at the moment and could only be taken care of by Happy and Lili. However, even though they were lying on the table at this time, they were still bickering non-stop.
"Didn't you say it had already been purified? Why did this happen?"
After a careful examination, Kira explained: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that after the magic power that does not belong to them dissipated, the body mistakenly developed a phenomenon similar to 'magic power deficiency'."
"Sure enough... no power is free!"
…
The guild's banquet lasted a whole day , and by the time it ended, it was already night.
Kira walked back to the 'Hope Cottage' and as soon as he entered the door, he found that the shop and the house had accumulated a thin layer of dust during this period of time.
But this did not pose a problem for Kira. Life magic such as cleaning, washing and tidying up was also one of his best magics. He quickly gave the house a thorough cleaning and made it spotless.
Half an hour later, Kira sat at the desk in his bedroom, counting his magic items and reviewing the battle with Acnorolia.
In general, it was thanks to the magic crystal obtained from the "Tower of Paradise" before that Kira used it as energy to create a "space channel" that could break the world node and send Acnorolia to Elentina.
"However, at the last moment, Acnorolia seemed to have come out of Elentina's passage?"
During the battle, Kira opened two space channels in total.
The first time, they were well prepared, so Kira connected with Eleanor, but after Acnorolia reacted, he had already inserted his claws into the entrance of the passage and destroyed it. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before he escaped.
However, due to time constraints and insufficient preparation, Kira closed the space channel the second time before he could complete the operation of connecting to Eleanor.
The consequence of doing this is that Acnorolia is now in a place that even Kira doesn't know. It could be Elentina, Aslant, or Edras. It's even possible that it's in the Celestial Realm!
"Anyway, it's so cool to not be sealed for 7 years!!!"
In addition to the space channel, the effectiveness of the dragon-slaying magic wand has also been verified. With its existence, it will be much easier to deal with dragons in the future.
Finally, there is the magic crystal.
The energy of the magic spirit power is too huge, far exceeding the 2.7 billion conceptual magic power required by the "Tower of Paradise". Even after such a long time, Kira has only purified less than one-third of it. Even if it is completely converted in the end, the remaining magic crystal will be as big as half a guild.
After finishing organizing the props, Kira finally returned to the comfortable bed, sweeping away the fatigue of the past few days - I have to say, outside is different from home.
When he woke up again, he immediately received another important news!
…
The next morning, Kira opened the door and bathed his entire body in the early morning sunshine, enjoying the feeling of warmth invading his body and mind.
Then he found an extra letter in the mailbox at the door.
"A letter? The sender is the Council?"
With doubt, Kira opened the envelope, and a minute later his face changed drastically and he set off for the guild.
In the guild tavern, Makarov read the letter Kira handed over over and over again, and his expression became more solemn every time he read it.
After a long time, he sighed deeply and said, "Is this what you said is troubling you?"
"Yeah!" Kira frowned and nodded repeatedly, "It's so troubling!"
"You bastard brat!!"
Makarov's sudden roar stunned everyone in the tavern. Everyone turned their eyes to the old man and the young man at the bar, eating melons with curiosity on their faces.
Makarov's face turned red, and after a long pause, he shouted: "The Council intends to grant you the title of 'Holy Ten', what kind of trouble is this!!!"
The entire pub fell silent for a moment, and a few seconds later, a loud noise broke out.
“Ehhhh?!! ‘Holy Ten’?!!”×N
Everyone immediately rushed over, took the letter from Makarov's hand and read it word by word: "This letter is sent by the Ishgar Council (ERA for short), and signed by Mr. Kira Hoplite."
"I've heard that Mr. Kira is a genius wizard in the current magic world. He has an extraordinary talent in magic and has defeated the 'Balam Alliance'... In view of your performance and achievements, the Council has decided to award you the honor that matches your achievements and grant you the title of 'Ten Holy Wizards'! I hope you won't refuse!"
