Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Therefore, in legal theory, fairies can cause harm beyond the mental aspect.

The dazzling light slowly dissipated, and all but a few members of the mage guild "Phantom Lord" were severely injured...

He suffered a severe psychological blow. Although his IQ remains normal and he can manage his daily life without worry, his will has been shattered...

As for the signs of his broken will, Joseph, who was under close scrutiny, transformed from a gloomy middle-aged man into a white-haired old man. His once vast magical power was now almost gone, and his arrogant demeanor was a thing of the past. At this moment, Joseph was just an ordinary person, and an extremely timid one at that...

Some people with minor injuries suffer psychological trauma and need several months to recover.

The few who weren't caught in the attack's path looked completely bewildered, staring at their fallen comrades on the ground, weakly howling...

what's going on? !

Why are all my teammates down?!

Gajeel and the others pondered this in their hearts, and then another question arose.

Why did everyone else collapse, but I was fine?

Even after being struck by unknown magic, not only was she not injured, but she even felt as if she were in a hot spring, which was exceptionally comfortable.

The situation was so strange that the group felt uneasy.

When the members of Fairy Tail saw that Gajeel and the others were unharmed, they were also full of question marks.

Hey everyone, what's going on?

Your companions have all fallen, why are you still standing?

Many people had very strange expressions, as if they had seen a husky mixed in with a pack of wolves.

"What should we do?" someone asked Erza.

Erza has a very high reputation in Fairy Tail, and it is normal for most people to ask for Erza's opinion when the guild master is not around.

"Leave them alone for now." Erza looked up, and the cracked ceiling came into view. "Let's find out what's going on up there first."

"Alright!" Everyone agreed with Erza's point, so they ignored Gajeel and the others and headed to a higher floor.

After a brief exchange, Gajeel realized that Fairy Tail was indeed "somewhat" powerful, and he abandoned the idea of ​​taking on a group of people by himself...

His gaze swept upwards, and from the fact that most of the guild members had been defeated in an instant, he had already guessed what had happened up there... Guild leader, the odds are against you.

After hesitating for a while, Gajeel did not choose to run away, but decided to check the situation himself.

"Together?"

He looked at the others and asked for their opinions.

"Mm." The group nodded slightly, accepting his invitation.

The group proceeded up the stairs to the top floor, where they saw the cheering Fairy Tail crew and a disheveled Joseph.

The ominous premonition had become a reality, and the expressions of the group grew increasingly heavy. For a moment, they were somewhat bewildered, unsure of what to say.

Surrounded by the crowd, Makarov happened to see Gajeel and the others looking bewildered. Knowing the effects of the "Fairy Law," he naturally understood what it meant that Gajeel and the others were unharmed.

Firstly, Gajeel and the others were not considered enemies by Fang Rui; secondly, these individuals must possess some quality that Fang Rui recognized, otherwise there would be no reason for Fang Rui to let them go...

Speaking of which... Makarov's gaze was fixed on Gajeel, who should be Iron Dragon Gajeel, the one who destroyed the guild building.

Jelf didn't particularly like crowded environments, and as the crowd surged into the room, he had already left and gone outside the guild building, looking helplessly at Fang Rui...

"...You said that earlier because you wanted to cast the spell yourself, right?"

"Half, I guess! I should definitely try out the magic I just learned..."

Fang Rui answered honestly, then said, "As for my other half, it's someone I really hate."

Many legitimate mage guilds actually use some less-than-legitimate methods, with "The Phantom Lord" being a particularly prominent example.

"Is that so..." Zeref nodded slightly to show his understanding and did not dwell on the matter further.

"How about we find a quiet, deserted place to stay on the outskirts of Magnolia Town?"

"Some of my research requires the use of instruments and equipment."

Fang Rui said this, and Jelf didn't say anything. The silence between them was broken after a while, and Jelf said, "Do you need my help?"

"It would be best if you were willing to help."

Fang Rui's gaze fell on the "Phantom Lord" guild building behind him: "Let's choose a place near the 'Natsu House' for our temporary accommodation!"

"...No, choose a deserted wilderness, preferably a desolate place where almost no one goes."

Jelf made a request that he considered very reasonable and easy to fulfill.

Near the town of Magnolia, there are many lush forests, and further away, there are snow-capped mountains that are difficult for ordinary people to reach...

"Okay." Although he agreed, Fang Rui did not change his mind; at most, he would just move a little further away.

With that, the two left the place.

………………

Shortly after the two left, troops belonging to the Magic Council arrived near the Phantom Lord guild building and surrounded it in layers.

The injured were carried out of the building one by one, while members of both guilds with minor injuries were being questioned.

Because the guild that initially provoked them was "Spectre's Dominator," they received a more severe punishment and were ordered to disband by several members of the Magic Council...

Fairy Tail was forced to retaliate, and although the damage it caused was considerable, the punishment was relatively minor, amounting to nothing more than a written apology...

During Fairy Tail's interrogation, Zeref kept a close watch, as if he would tear down the Magic Council if Fairy Tail caused any problems...

Or rather... if something happens to Natsu, the Magic Council will be dismantled.

As for whether that's truly what Jelf thought, Fang Rui replied...who knows?

He never used mind-reading abilities; his reasoning for all of Zeref's actions was entirely based on speculation.

Perhaps... he just wanted to see what his younger brother's daily life was like.

There's no need to delve into that matter for now; let's return to the Magic Council's punishment of Fairy Tail.

The reason the punishment was so lenient was because Yajima, Gerald's thought entities Zikrein, Urutia, and others defended him, making what would have been a severe punishment much lighter.

Upon hearing this news, Fang Rui showed no surprise whatsoever. Yajima and Makarov were friends, so it was normal for him to defend Fairy Tail.

In Jellal's plan, someone from Fairy Tail is part of it. If Fairy Tail disbands and that person begins traveling the continent, finding someone in such a vast place would be like finding a needle in a haystack—extremely difficult...

Therefore, he wanted to keep someone in his sight at all times.

Speaking of which, what would it be like if Erza's mother found out that a man had been eyeing her daughter?

It seems that Gerald's passing was not peaceful.

As for how Fang Rui found out about this, it was because someone tipped him off.

The messenger was Urutia.

"So... what's the reason you're here today? To tell me some useless information?"

In the lush forest, a giant tree rises from the ground, its massive canopy casting a deep shadow, with treehouses hanging from its branches like fruits...

On one side of the giant tree, atop a thick root, in an exquisite wooden house, Fang Rui sat at a desk, his left arm resting on it, turned to face Urutia, his tone somewhat helpless.

Are the Magic Council so idle? You, a councilor, have nothing better to do than come here to play all day?!

Ultear remarked... "The Magic Council is indeed quite idle. They can just set up a thought form somewhere while their real body goes off to play elsewhere."

"No, I have something important to tell you."

Slowly shaking his head, Urudia said solemnly, "The R system is almost complete!"

The Forbidden Magic R System was something Zeref researched in his childhood. The R System, or "Restore System," is a magic that can resurrect a dead person by sacrificing a living person.

As for the limitations of this magic, there are many.

Firstly, it requires 27 billion Idia's magic power. Secondly... what is the second part? Fang Rui didn't really know either, since Zeref hadn't told him about the R system in detail.

Incidentally, Fang Rui has very little interest in the R system, mainly because the basic requirements are too high.

"What do you mean by suddenly bringing this up?" Fang Rui asked thoughtfully, but instead of revealing his guess, he asked Urutia.

“I don’t think Gerald’s plan has any chance of succeeding, but the R system will definitely be built… It would be a shame not to use the R system, which has been built at such a high cost, so… I want to use it to revive Uru.”

Ultear knew nothing about Zeref still being alive, so her decision stemmed entirely from her inner desires.

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly: "...Are you seeking my help?"

“That’s right!” Urutia nodded frankly.

This incident clearly shows that Fairy Tail values ​​its guild members highly, and Jellal's scheme will undoubtedly bring in an exceptionally powerful enemy.

The team was led by one of the Ten Wizard Saints, followed by hundreds of other wizards, many of whom were elites.

Under these circumstances, how could Geralt, along with a few ordinary mages, possibly stop them...?

As for using cunning to trap everyone except Erza, it might be successful, but...

Ultear glanced at someone out of the corner of her eye. With him around... Gerald's plan would be hard to succeed.

It wasn't that Urutia knew Fang Rui well; it was just an intuition.

"can."

With an existing R system in front of him, Fang Rui did have the idea of ​​studying it himself and also calling Jelf over to have him explain it to him.

Speaking of which, did Jelf ever build an R system?

A question popped into Fang Rui's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. There was no need to dwell on trivial matters; he could find the answer by asking Jelf when the opportunity arose.

No, it can't be. There's an opportunity; we need to inquire as soon as possible.

We must ask clearly about the advantages, disadvantages, and precautions of the R system, since Uru's soul is very fragile and even a small problem can cause trouble.

As for the offerings...

As a member of the Magic Council and one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory from "Heart of the Devil," Ultear is a notorious villain and could easily find many such people.

"Give me a heads-up before you take action."

With that, Fang Rui turned his gaze away from Urutia and instead looked at the pristine white paper on which the instruments and equipment that needed to be purchased were listed.

"By the way, could you do me a favor and buy these instruments and equipment for me?"

Urudia's identity is rather special, whether overt or covert, making it very easy for her to purchase certain instruments and equipment.
