Chapter 637: Stinger and Roger come to visit
Since it is a centenary celebration, the atmosphere must be heated up.
At Makarov's whim, the entire guild held banquets, performances, singing and dancing for seven whole days, and this was only the first day.
"How can our guild have so much money to hold a seven-day banquet? How much money did you secretly take away, old man?!"
Kira was very surprised by Makarov's decision. He originally thought that a three-day event would be an unprecedented event, but he didn't expect that Makarov was so rich and so courageous!
I am far inferior to you!
"Why don't we just let the old man continue to be the president? That way, if there are any big events or banquets in the future, I will have to pay for them, right? It's much better to let the president pay for everything like now!"
You can't have your cake and eat it too, what a pity!
This is a grand event of "Fairy Tail", so the guild invited many old people and friends. In addition to Mavis and Auguste, mother and son, who have settled in Magnolia for some time, there are also Preshito and his subordinates Lastiros, the three Huayuan, and Volod of the Holy Fourteen Heavenly Kings, who are the "guild founders".
After that, some old members who had left the guild were invited, such as former senator Yajima, Blue Pegasus Guild President Bob, Four-Headed Hounds Guild President Goodman, and Pharmacist Pelusica. These old men of the same generation as Makarov were also invited, but Pelusica rejected the invitation unceremoniously because she didn't like humans.
Next came some familiar friends, such as Serena, Dimaria and Brandish from the Western Continent, as well as Jellal and Ultear from "Witch's Sin", and finally Disper and his half-disciple Suzaku.
Speaking of Suzaku, ever since he came to Ishgar, he has been learning the 'Dragon Slaying Magic of the Sword Saint Dragon' and the Underworld Sword Technique from Kurnuki, and his progress can be said to be rapid.
But he was not taken on the subsequent trip to the Western Continent, so he was actually left at large during that period of time. It was not until Kira and others returned from the Western Continent that he continued to learn swordsmanship from Disper.
Now, the master and disciple are temporarily living in the two-story detached house that Kira got at the "Magic Conference".
Although Suzaku did not join Fairy Tail, he was a disciple of Disper and was considered half a member of the group, so he was naturally invited.
Some of these people are old acquaintances, some are the same type of people, and now they are all gathered together, and many epic meetings are gathered at once.
Needless to say, the "Devil's Heart" of the past, since the original trip to the West Continent, several parties involved knew that this day would come;
Then there are the 'former second-generation president and his children', namely Preshito and Bob and others. They may know that Preshito is Hades, but the current situation obviously does not require them to worry about it;
There was also a meeting of the second generation of dragon slayers, but these three grown men, one was a middle school student, one was a tsundere, and one was a reserved person, had nothing to talk about at all, and they just treated it as an acquaintance here.
Laxus was training with Serena, and everyone in the guild knew about it. Both of them had lightning-attributed dragon-slaying magic crystals in their bodies, so teaching them would be twice as effective with half the effort. However, Serena had not learned poison-attributed dragon-slaying magic, so she could not teach Eric.
But Eric had never thought about learning from Serena. Although he was the weakest among the three, he lived the most comfortable life. He listened to gossip, drank wine, ate snacks, and hugged his shy and lovely girlfriend Ginana. These were the pleasures that the other two single dogs could never enjoy!
…
As Fairy Tail celebrated its centennial anniversary, two short figures stepped onto the central street of Magnolia.
"Stinger, can we really get into Fairy Tail? This is the number one magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, and possibly in all of Ishgar. The screening process should be very strict, right?"
"Don't worry, Roger! I've found out everything! The entrance exam to Fairy Tail isn't that difficult, and we're all Dragon Slayers, the strongest wizards. With our abilities, we can definitely get in!"
The two boys looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. One had short light blonde hair, wore a blue jacket, and looked sunny and handsome; the other had short black hair, wore a gray shirt, and looked low-key and introverted.
They are the two of the first generation of Dragon Slayers, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney, who traveled from four hundred years ago along with Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy.
"Stinger is right! You are the strongest wizards in the world in the future. Even if the opponent is the strongest magic guild, they will definitely be shocked by your strength! Don't worry, Roger-kun!"
"Flo thinks so too~"
Next to Stinger and Roger, there was a Transcendent each.
The cat following Stinger is wearing a white vest, has fiery red hair, and looks like a fox. He speaks arrogantly and has a domineering look. His name is Recter. The cat following Roger is wearing a pink frog coat with black dots, has green hair, and has a cute expression. His name is Floshu.
Like Habi and Xia Lulu, they were Transcendents who were sent from Edlas to Aslant because of the predictive dream of the Transcendent Queen Charlotte. At this time, they had been following the two for several years.
To know why Stinger and Roger are here, we have to start from the beginning.
Although both were the first generation of Dragon Slayers sent to the year X784, they were only five years old at the time, had little experience in the world, and were illiterate, so their experiences were actually worse than the other three.
Unlike Natsu and Gajeel who joined Fairy Tail and Phantom Ruler right away, and unlike Wendy who joined the Cat Inn under the leadership of Mistgang, Stinger and Rogue had a very rough childhood. Fortunately, they all knew magic and would not starve to death.
The experiences of the two were actually similar. They both joined a small magic guild first and made a living by performing dragon-slaying magic, but were later ostracized and suppressed for various reasons, so they kept changing jobs.
What happened to Stinger was not so bad. It was just that others did not believe his ridiculous stories of being 'raised by a dragon' and 'killing a dragon', which led to ridicule and mockery. But what happened to Rogue was miserable. It was naked bullying and humiliation, as well as indifference and malicious suppression caused by jealousy. The situation did not improve until he joined the 'Ruler of Phantom'.
Fortunately, when they were treated maliciously by fate, they still had fellow transcendents by their side. It was this little bit of warmth that prevented the two from falling into darkness under the torture of life.
This situation continued until two years ago, when the 'Ruler of Phantom' was destroyed.
At that time, Roger was still called Laos, and was an unknown younger brother of Gajeel. He admired Gajeel very much. But after the destruction of 'Phantom', he lost his job. At this time of confusion, the news that Gajeel joined 'Fairy Tail' to destroy 'Phantom' reached his ears.
Rogue was angry about this. He thought it was a betrayal and even cowardice, so he was unwilling to follow in Gajeel's footsteps. Instead, he continued to move around in small guilds. However, his life after that was not ideal.
So he resolutely left those weak guilds and started his wandering life again.
Until half a year ago, he met Stinger.
The two hit it off immediately, and after a short period of time together, their bond was immediately strengthened, and they became inseparable friends. After that, they became wandering wizards together, living on the meager income they got from working for others.
Until a while ago...
One day, Stinger grabbed a newspaper and excitedly found Roger: "Roger, look! Natsu-san has become an S-class wizard of 'Fairy Tail'! How amazing!!"
"Um……"
"Hey, Rogue! Let's go to Fairy Tail too! Haven't you always admired that Gajeel-san?"
"Well... let me think about it for a while..."
"What are you still thinking about? Let's go! You don't make much money from your current job, and that's the number one magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore!!"
"What Stinger said is right. Roger-kun doesn't want to keep doing these jobs and bury his magical talent, right? A guild like Fairy Tail is the best place for you!"
"Flo thinks so too~"
So now...
The entrance to Fairy Tail.
"Is this... 'Fairy Tail'?"
Through the open door, Stinger and Roger could see the carnival in the guild, hear the noise in the guild, smell the aroma of wine in the guild, and feel the enthusiasm and freedom in the guild.
It was a warm scene that the two had never seen before.
"I say, Roger..."
"Um?"
“I think we came to the right place!”
