Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 51 The assessment begins

A week later, Fairy Tail returns to Tenrou Island.

Looking at the children rushing to Sirius Island enthusiastically like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, Makarov smiled, touched his Mediterranean bald head and shook his head.

Really... they are still too young. They were trapped by Fried's "Magic Barrier", which delayed their chance to land on the island.

However, the priority of landing on the island does not necessarily mean that you can gain an advantage.

This is determined by the rules of the first level.

Since they couldn't know in advance what they would encounter in each of the eight channels, their choices were largely based on luck.

Of course, if your strength is strong enough, it doesn’t matter which channel you choose.

Such a person should undoubtedly become an S-class wizard.

But there should be no such person among this batch of candidates.

While thinking this, Makarov personally took the helm and steered the large ship into the harbor of Sirius Island.

Immediately, he couldn't help but think of his grandson Laxus, who was now nowhere to be found, from Freed.

A few months ago, Laxus and Freed, Bigusro, and Alba Green of the Thunder Gods started a civil war in the Fairy Tail Guild, intending to forcibly seize the position of president.

Of course, in the end, this civil war ended with Laxus's side being defeated.

Realizing that he almost made a big mistake, Laxus chose to take all the blame alone in order to protect Freed and the other three.

Makarov had to reluctantly expel Laxus from the guild.

Fortunately, there were no deaths or disabilities in this civil war, otherwise it would not be as simple as expulsion from the guild.

After that, Makarov completely lost contact with Laxus, and even the three Thunder Gods didn't know where Laxus went.

Later, Fried of the Thunder God Clan redeemed himself and performed excellently, thus obtaining the opportunity to take the S-level assessment this year.

He chose Bigusro as his assessment partner.

Alba Green was a little annoyed that Fried didn't choose her, so she took the initiative to recommend herself and became the partner of another S-level test candidate, Mirajane's younger brother, Elfman.

It seems that the three members of the Thunder God Group have walked out of the shadow of the guild's civil war and are getting along well with the guild members who were once enemies.

Actually, this is normal. Gajeel and Juvia, who were previously from the enemy guild "Phantom Rulers", have also integrated into Fairy Tail and participated in this S-level assessment, right?

Fairy Tail can show leniency to members of rival guilds, so it certainly won't be so petty towards members who have been working together for many years within the guild.

There is also Wendy, the "Sky Dragon Slayer" who joined Fairy Tail from the disappeared "Cat Demon Inn", and she also got the opportunity to participate in this S-level assessment.

They have all either let go of the past or are looking forward to the future.

Laxus, when will you let go of the past and come back?

Do you really want to be like your father Ivan, falling into the path of evil, establishing the dark guild "Raven Tail", and then getting deeper and deeper into it, with no way back?

Makarov sighed softly.

Although he was the one who expelled Laxus, he was still his grandson after all, and he actually doted on him very much.

When Laxus comes back, let him curse a few times, and then Natsu and the others will persuade him a few more times. Then Laxus will atone for his sins like the three Thunder Gods did. He will have a way out, and the matter will actually be over.

We are all family, there is no overnight hatred.

However, Laxus has shown no signs of returning for such a long time, and no one knows where he has gone.

Did he really come into contact with his father Ivan and plan to join Raven Tail?

No, no, he wouldn't do that. Makarov was so sure because he had a spy inside Raven Tail.

That is the "Iron Dragon Slayer" Gajeel.

At Makarov's request, Gajeel pretended to contact and join Raven Tail to gather information.

And Ivan of Raven Tail sent Gajeel to Fairy Tail as an undercover agent.

Makarov believed that Gajeel was on the side of Fairy Tail, so he attached great importance to the information about Raven Tail that Gajeel brought back.

There was no mention of Laxus coming into contact with Raven Tail.

So, Laxus, where are you?

The harbor of Sirius Island is just around the corner, and large ships are anchored at the shore.

There are also several small boats docked at the harbor, which are convenient for examiners of the S-level assessment and eliminated candidates to enter or leave Tianlang Island in advance.

Makarov's short body was as agile as a monkey. He somersaulted and jumped from the deck to the shore, standing firmly.

He walked slowly towards the preset finish line of the first level with his hands behind his back.

At this time, he thought of Wendy again.

Especially Meister who chose Wendy as his S-level assessment partner.

I wonder if Meister’s affair has been exposed?

Wendy is a gentle and kind child and should not doubt Meister.

It turns out that because Mest is good at the magic of "memory" and "teleportation", he was sent by Makarov in his early years to enter the Magic Council as an undercover agent to investigate relevant information about the Albares Empire.

In order to be a good spy, Mest deliberately sealed his memory of being a member of Fairy Tail.

These memories are only revived when he meets Makarov.

Not long ago, Mest suddenly returned to Fairy Tail, seemingly planning something.

Makarov secretly contacted him and restored his memory, only then did he know the truth.

It turns out that the Magic Council had to be reorganized due to the aftermath of the Tower of Paradise incident.

Now they are quite wary of the major magic guilds in Ishgar, especially the increasingly powerful Fairy Tail.

They want to know the secrets of Fairy Tail's three major super magics so that they can deal with them or even steal them.

Among them, Makarov had demonstrated the "Fairy Law" when fighting against Joseph, the leader of the Phantom Ruler.

However, the Magic Council knows almost nothing about the other two of the three great supermagics - "Fairy Glory" and "Fairy Ball".

They only knew that these two super magics were hidden on Tenrou Island, the holy land of Fairy Tail.

However, Tenrou Island is sealed by a barrier all year round, and it is difficult for outsiders like the Magic Council to find its exact location.

Mest got the news in advance that Fairy Tail was going to Tenrou Island to hold the S-level assessment, so he volunteered and proposed a plan to go undercover at Fairy Tail.

In this way, he can legitimately land on Tenrou Island and investigate the secrets of "Fairy Glory" and "Fairy Ball".

However, it was only after Mest met Makarov and lifted the seal on his memory that he realized how big of a mistake he had made.

Makarov sent him undercover to the Magic Council, and now the Magic Council has sent him undercover to Fairy Tail...

Only Gajeel can fight this kind of double agent.
