Chapter 403: The Council of Review also issued a commission?
Things were just as Kira had guessed. Makarov's abnormal behavior today was indeed to allow Kira to temporarily work with Erza's team to complete the SS-level commission in hand.
There was no other way. Gildarts was not here, Laxus was on a mission with the Thunder Gods, and Cana... forget it. In the end, there were only Kira and Erza's team who had nothing to do in the guild all day and even ate and drank to their heart's content.
Kira took the order from Makarov, and Erza and the others came over. At first glance, they were stunned by the client's name.
"This commission... comes from the Council? Was it issued by Speaker Gulan Doma?"
Everyone gasped and the air suddenly became hot.
"So the Council also issues missions?"
"I've never seen anything like this before! Is there anything they can't solve?"
"They are an official organization. Logically, they should be stronger than a certain magic guild, right?"
Before they had even read the contents of the commission, several people had already asked a series of questions to the client. Although the Council had been unfriendly to Fairy Tail in the past, everyone knew who was more excessive, so they were not too hostile.
And since the establishment of the new Council, because of Kira, Speaker Gran Dorma has turned a blind eye to Fairy Tail . Considering the Speaker's previous style of doing things, it is not easy to do this.
However, no matter what the attitude is, everyone still has some confidence in the foundation and strength of the Council. Even if their apparent strength cannot beat Fairy Tail, they will not fall to the point of needing help, right?
This is what Kira was wondering about. Amidst the suspicious gazes, he muttered to himself, "Although the people in the Council are not strong, their foundation is not inferior to any magic guild. Why would they issue a commission to us?"
Makarov replied calmly: "You will know when you read the contents of the commission!"
The few of them read as they were told, and when they finished reading the content of the commission, they suddenly realized: this was indeed a commission for assistance, but the target of the assistance was not the Magic Council of Ishgar (ERA), but the Magic Council of Kiltina (MNP) in the northern continent.
Since this is related to mainland China’s diplomacy, it’s no wonder that it is an SS-level commission.
As for asking for help from Fairy Tail, the reason is very simple , because the opponent this time is a dragon! Fairy Tail not only has dragon slayers, but also has experience fighting dragons, and the dragon they have fought is Acnorolia!
"The opponent is a dragon?!"
Everyone exclaimed again, with Natsu and Wendy reacting the most. This was the second time they had heard news about a dragon, and the thought of possibly finding their parents again naturally made them even more excited.
"Wait...wait!! Are we going to fight a dragon again?"
"I still remember the incident at Tenrou Island. We fought it till the end and it was only slightly injured. It was almost completely defenseless!"
"That's right, why would you go up to an opponent like this when you don't even have time to hide?"
Hearing that they were going to fight a dragon again, everyone was shocked and scared. Lucy had the biggest reaction. She was trembling all over and was almost crying.
"I don't want to do it... I really don't want to do it..."
Kira curled his lips and said , "What does it matter? I remember that you performed well at that time, Lucy! Wasn't the last trick 'Star Chart History' used very well?"
Then, he turned around and touched Wendy's head: "And Wendy too, you performed very well throughout the whole process. You looked so handsome when you activated the dragon power!!"
Hearing Kira's sincere praise, Wendy's face showed a joyful and slightly shy smile; although Lucy still had a depressed look on her face, the smile at the corner of her mouth betrayed her inner pride.
"Even if you say so, we still..."
Kira interrupted her nonchalantly and continued to recall the performance of others: "Natsu is also very good, and he was one of the main forces in defeating Acnorolia; Erza is also an important output, and those swords helped a lot at the time; and Gray... um... ah~ Anyway, after that, we..."
"Wait a minute! Why did you stop talking when it came to me?! And you even sighed, are you mocking me?! You must be mocking me!!" Gray shouted unconvinced, "I did help at that time! Why do you make it sound like I was just slacking off!"
"Alright! Gray, stop making trouble!" Erza held Gray and patted his back comfortingly, "We all know you have tried your best."
"No...I really do...I..."
These pats on the back did not have a comforting effect, but instead made people feel full of ridicule. Gray wanted to speak out to defend himself, but everything was so pale and powerless, and in the end he could not say a word.
“Puchi——!”
Just when Gray was about to reveal it, two faint chuckles ignited his anger again: "Damn it, what are you laughing at? I'm just taking advantage of the dragon-slayer attribute. If the opponent is a demon, I will be the main force!!"
Kira agreed, "Gray is right! A companion is meant to make up for one's own shortcomings. Natsu, Happy, stop laughing!"
"Hey, hey... you're the one laughing the loudest, right?!"
After a while of noise, Lucy asked a question carefully: "Speaking of which, besides Akunorolia, are there any other dragons in the world? Didn't it kill them all?"
"No! That's not actually the case!"
Kira shook his head and told everyone what he knew again, "The book says that 'Akunorolia slaughtered all the dragons', but this is actually something that only happened in Ishgar. Dragon slaughter does not seem to have happened in other continents."
"So... that means there are still dragons in the Western Continent and the Northern Continent?"
Natsu's eyes were shining. There were dragons in other places, so Iguneru might have gone to the bases of those dragons. Even if not, maybe he could ask them about Iguneru's whereabouts.
"There are still some in the Northern Continent, but not necessarily in the Western Continent."
Kira only knew that there was a magic empire in the western continent that was used as a chess piece by Jellal, and that Irene, the mother of dragons, lived in the empire; but he had no idea whether there were other lands, other humans or dragons outside of this empire.
Hearing Kira's answer, Natsu's whole body suddenly boiled over: "Ohhhh!! I'm burning!!! Let's go! We must go!! No, please be sure to take us with you!!"
"Of course! The president specifically gave us the commission because he wanted you to go with me, right?"
Makarov nodded.
"Great!! Let's go pack our bags right away!!"
Just as they were discussing how to pack their luggage in the shortest possible time, Makarov frowned and said in a deep voice: "Kira, do you know anything? If you know, it's better to tell me first."
"Are you worried about anything, President?"
"Although according to the intelligence, the dragon you described here is not Acnorolia, we still cannot let our guard down. I hesitated for a long time before accepting this commission. If you think it's a bit difficult for just a few of you..."
Before he could finish his words, Kira interrupted him directly: "What are you talking about, President?"
He had a faint smile on his face: "In this world, is there any dragon more difficult to deal with than Acnorolia? I can even deal with Acnorolia, let alone those guys in the Northern Continent?"
He looks so confident, just like Erzhuzi next door.
Makarov was stunned at first, then he smiled: "Then I'll leave it to you!"
"And us!" Natsu yelled in dissatisfaction.
"Oh oh oh... I'll leave it to you guys!" Makarov reminded them again, "By the way, if you can't win, just run away. Anyway, the target of our assistance is the MNP, not even the ERA, so don't try too hard!"
Kira was speechless again: "President, you are amazing... Never mind, I get it!"
