Chapter 376 Kira's Designated Mission
Amidst cheers, the time in the Fairy Tail world finally entered the year X785, the first year that was missed due to the seal in the original work.
Today, the Fairy Tail Guild was filled with joy and excitement, as all members who were not on missions gathered in the guild tavern for a celebratory party. As for the theme of the party, it was naturally that Kira was officially awarded the title of "Ten Holy Wizards" by the Council!
The news was published in Magic Daily today.
He joined Fairy Tail at the age of 10, became an S-class wizard at the age of 12, became famous in the Kingdom of Fiore at the age of 18, and was praised by the Council as the most talented wizard of the new era. In the same year, he was nominated as the Holy Ten. At the age of 20, he defeated two Holy Tens in a row, and was highly recognized by the five current Holy Tens, becoming the main force to defeat the Balamu Alliance...
Each and every one of these achievements were enough to shock the entire Kingdom of Fiore.
Since last Christmas, when Makarov, at Kira's instigation, purchased a batch of leather sofas at public expense, the guild tavern has become much more upscale. Whether it is the lounge, game room, bar, or swimming pool, there are one or two sets of exquisite sofas. Just in terms of visual effects, it is worthy of the reputation of "Fiore's No. 1 Magic Guild".
But what made Kira most satisfied was not these sets of sofa chairs that could seat seven or eight people, but the specially customized sofa chairs that were exclusively available to "S-class wizards and above".
At this time, Kira was lying in his own chair, completely relaxed, holding a card with a special pattern in his hand. He arrogantly took a sip of the drink on the glass table in front of him, then threw the card in his hand onto the table and shouted, "Use the magic card [Fairy's Law]! You lose, Kana!"
Opposite Kira, Kana also sat in her own chair. Her movements were very indecent, with her left leg bent and placed horizontally on the chair, a half-meter-high wooden barrel on her thigh, her left hand resting on the barrel, her right hand leaning on the table, her body slightly leaning to the right, reeking of alcohol, her face full of resentment after losing.
"Damn it! Your skill is really too much! Obviously, you didn't use this skill last time!"
Kana threw the cards in her hand onto the table, then picked up the barrel and poured the wine into her mouth. After a few gulps, she wiped her mouth and said, "No more playing, no more playing... I always lose!"
Kira smiled proudly and said, "I told you, you're still far from it! I was able to hold out for so long last time because I had Lucy's help. But now... wow~ hahahaha!!!"
The card the two played was naturally the "Fairy Tail Kill" that Kira used for the assessment on Tenrou Island, but this was the 2.0 version.
After the game of cards was over, Kira fell back in a familiar manner, and the crocodile skin and cotton cushion immediately supported his back. However, Kira was still not satisfied, and bounced up and down twice more before saying, "Ah... It's so soft and comfortable!"
"Tsk! It's just a chair?" Kana frowned and looked at Kira.
"Take a good look at the color, texture, feel, shape, and price tag of this seat... this is the treatment we deserve!"
Kira rubbed his back against the backrest, pointed at Natsu and others sitting on the wooden bench, and continued, "Look at them, then look at us, don't you feel that it's worth it?"
"No! I think it's more comfortable to drink in the same place as before!"
"Weren't you sitting on the table originally?" Kira muttered twice, then changed the subject, "Forget it, but you always need a place to rest when you're drunk, right? It's very dangerous to fall on the street like you did the last few times!"
"Kira is right! What's more, this chair is really comfortable!" Erza sat on her own exclusive chair, crossed her legs, and slowly savored the strawberry pudding. She seemed very satisfied with the changes in the guild.
These S-class exclusive seats are all designed by themselves. Erza's seat is red and white, with a high backrest and a hollow seat, which is the aristocratic queen style that best suits her personality; Cana's seat is dark purple and yellow, Tarot style, and there is a groove on the armrest specifically for wine barrels, but it is rarely used.
Kira's exclusive seat is relatively plain and simple. It is a 90×120×150 chair with a gold frame, silver carvings and gem coloring. It has the luxury of nobility and the arrogance of the strong, the literary temperament of a philosopher and the mysterious charm of a magician. It is heavy and majestic, yet elegant.
It can be said that apart from Kira, few people can hold this chair.
"That's great~ Your seats look so comfortable..." Natsu and Happy lay on the wooden table, exuding a faint sense of dejection. They looked at Erza, Killer, and Cana who were chatting, and were filled with envy.
Kira knew that what Natsu envied was not the chair, but the title of S-Class, so he said: "It's useless to use that kind of eyes! Instead of envying others, you might as well seize the time to practice and strive to become the next S-Class!"
Kana put down the wine barrel and said to Lucy with a smile: "Lucy, if you want to sit, you can always come to my chair!"
The attitude was very enthusiastic, but after seeing the wine stains on the seat, Lucy just smiled awkwardly: "No... no need... thank you..."
At this moment, Makarov suddenly came over and said, "Kira, you have another designated mission!"
"Huh?" Kira was stunned, stood up and took it, muttering, "This is the seventh this month, right? Why didn't I realize that people in this country are so rich before?"
In the Kingdom of Fiore, magic guilds generally classify the commissions they receive into ordinary (A-D), S-level (S), ten-year (SS) and hundred-year (SSS) levels according to difficulty. The remuneration for each level of commission is within a certain range, such as "D-level is within 100,000 J", "S-level is not less than 1 million J", and then a suitable price is selected within this range based on the difficulty.
Designated missions are different. They do not belong to any level. Whether to accept them and the specific remuneration are decided by consultation between the client and the client - this is mainly to prevent people from playing tricks - and such missions do not always require magicians to have strong strength. For example, some commissions for "shooting magazine photos" only require good looks.
Although becoming the 'Holy Ten' was only reported in the newspapers today, not everyone is looking for this title to issue commissions. Thanks to Kira's various deeds in the past six months, his fame has returned to the level it was two years ago, and the number of designated missions has naturally increased again, and the rewards are not cheap, basically more than 5 million J.
"Who would have thought that a mission with a reward of more than 5 million J would actually have a reward of 5 million J - huh?! 20 million J?!!!"
When Kira saw the reward for the commission, he was immediately mesmerized by the tempting "20 million J". Even his voice increased by dozens of decibels. He was so scared that he quickly shook his head and wiped his eyes.
Kira's voice was so loud that everyone in the guild could hear it. No matter if they were drinking and bragging or talking about love, they all stopped what they were doing and looked in Kira's direction in a daze.
A few seconds later, everyone burst into laughter at the same time, and the entire guild exploded.
"What what?? What 20 million J?"
"It seems to be Kira's mission reward? 20 million J?! Is this the weight of the 'Holy Ten'? Amazing!!"
"I'm so envious!! The reward for a quest is so high. Gildarts should be the only one in the guild who took it, right?"
Makarov rolled his eyes silently: Tsk! A bunch of little brats! So ignorant! I was also one of them in the past...
Hearing Kira's voice, Natsu, Erza, Cana and others who were closest to him came over directly. When they saw the amount written on the reward, they all gasped.
"It's true... It says there's a reward of 20 million J... Who issued the commission?"
Cana's eyes turned red, Lucy's face was full of envy, Natsu and Happy were so surprised that their mouths couldn't close, and the one who reacted the most was Erza. She had never received such a big commission in all these years. The piece of paper in Kira's hand was very thin, but it greatly aroused her competitive spirit.
Kira frowned as he looked at the words on the commission and said slowly, "The client's name is...Thoma E. Fiore!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the guild, which had been noisy due to the high rewards, fell silent again. It was so quiet that one could almost hear everyone's breathing, heartbeats, and swallowing of saliva.
"Fiore... isn't that the name of a country? So that means..."
"Is the client a member of the royal family?"
Kira continued to drop bombs: " Not only a member of the royal family, Thomas E. Fiore is the name of the current king!"
