Makarov raised his hand in greeting: "Oh! Please take care of me!"

Then, "Drink!!"

Makarov gave a soft shout, pushed off with both legs, and jumped onto the second-floor railing.

Everyone in the guild turned their attention to that direction.

Makarov brandished a thick stack of documents in his hand and said with a grim expression:

"You're all causing me trouble again, aren't you? Take a good look at how many documents the council has sent over."

"First, Gray."

A boy, shirtless and wearing only underwear, looked disdainful; he hadn't caused any trouble.

Mira smiled and reminded him, "Grey, the clothes."

"Ah~!! I forgot again!"

Gray hurriedly went to find his clothes.

“You did nothing wrong during the arrest of the robber, but what were you doing wandering around the street naked afterward? In the end, you still stole someone’s underwear that was drying on the balcony and ran away.”

Gray was a little embarrassed: "Um... it's not really appropriate to be naked..."

Elfman retorted, "Then don't go naked!"

Makarov then looked at Elfman and sighed, "Sigh! Elfman, you actually used violence against your client?"

Elfman scratched his cheek sheepishly with his finger: "Because he said I wasn't a real man!"

"Kana! You went to work for a client, but you secretly emptied their wine cellar. To avoid being discovered, you diluted the wine with water."

"...Have we been discovered...?"

Kana also felt a little guilty.

"Loki, you've messed with Professor Michele's granddaughter."

Michael is a council member of the Magic Council, and he got quite a few scoldings from Michael during his visit to the council.

"Next, Natsu."

"Destroying monsters, shattering roads, chasing fugitives, destroying six houses, protecting a caravan but burning its goods, eliminating thieves but also burning the victims' belongings..."

As Makarov recounted the trouble Natsu had caused, Qi Yan was genuinely startled. He knew this guy could cause trouble, but he never expected him to cause this much trouble.

"Alzak, Levy, Krov, Lidas, Bisca..."

"You bunch of people! You always make me get scolded by the councilors..."

Makarov suppressed his anger, and the air became heavy with tension.

Makarov then relaxed, saying, "But... those councilors can go eat shit!"

Makarov used magic to set all the documents in his hands ablaze.

"Listen carefully, all phenomena beyond reason are born from reason. Magic is not a miracle, but a manifestation of the harmony between the 'qi' within us and the 'qi' in nature. Magic is the result of condensing spiritual power and concentration, no, it is the result of injecting one's entire soul."

"If we care about what those above us think, the path of demonic cultivation will never progress. Don't be afraid of those fools in the council; just move forward on the path you believe in!"

"This is the real Fairy Tail mage!!!"

“OO ...

The Fairy Tail members all cheered. Although Qi Yan had just joined Fairy Tail, he couldn't help but be infected by everyone's emotions. He was now a member of Fairy Tail too.

Soon, the guild returned to its usual state, with everyone drinking, chatting, and boasting, creating a lively atmosphere.

Mira approached Makarov with the commission form and said, "President, Qi Yan wants to do this job, but I can't make the decision. Please take a look."

"Oh, what kind of mission is it? Let me see."

Makarov accepted the order.

Eliminate the Phantom Thieves: Mission Reward: 70 J.

Chapter 3 Qi Yan VS Natsu

"what?!"

Makarov's eyes widened in surprise when he saw it.

"Kid, you're too bold for a newbie like you. You actually dared to take on this mission. No, you should find another one."

Qi Yan said earnestly, "President! I am confident that I can complete this task!"

He did manage to draw Ulquiorra, and although his magic power was relatively low and he couldn't unleash Ulquiorra's full potential, it was still enough to deal with these minions.

Makarov shook his head again: "This is not a matter of confidence, it is a matter of strength."

"I have the ability to complete this task!"

"You stubborn brat, why are you so headstrong?"

Makarov slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"What's wrong? What happened? What did the newcomer do to upset the president?"

"It seems that a new member was asked to do a task, but the guild leader refused."

"What task wouldn't the guild leader agree to?!"

"It's that mission to eliminate the Phantom Thieves."

"what?!"

The guild members were also taken aback.

The Phantom Thieves are a newly emerging thief group that consists entirely of mages who commit all sorts of evil deeds, including robbery and plunder.

Their actions were so despicable that even the Dark Guilds would despise them.

Although the Dark Guild accepts many shady missions, they still diligently complete their employers' requests and collect their rewards.

The Demon Thieves, however, used the power of mages to kill and rob innocent civilians, completely breaking the rules.

The Magic Council has been hunting down the Phantom Thieves, but this gang is notorious for their elusive nature and ability to escape after each robbery.

According to the information provided by the victims, the Phantom Thieves group has a total of thirteen members, which means there are thirteen mages. This size is comparable to a small mage guild.

To deal with this kind of magic thief group, a single person would need at least an S-class mage, and even if it were a top-tier elite mage like Natsu, it would require at least two people.

Even at the guild's average level, it would still require at least five people, and there's a certain degree of danger involved, since the opponents are more than ten mages.

So this task has been sitting here for several days and no one has taken it.

Qi Yan, a mere newcomer, actually dared to challenge such a mission; it was practically tantamount to courting death. He was truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.

"President, I'm not being stubborn, I'm genuinely confident that I can complete this task."

Qi Yan did not back down. His goal was a B-level mission with a value of over 50 J. Even if it were another Makarov, he might not agree to it.

"If you can prove you have the ability, I can let you go."

Seeing Qi Yan's persistence, Makarov wanted to make Qi Yan back down.

"how to prove?"

"I'm looking for someone in the guild. If you can defeat him, I'll allow you to do the job."

Qi Yan immediately agreed upon hearing this.

Makarov glanced at the guild. He most wanted Erza to help, but Erza was out on a mission and not in the guild, so he had to settle for second best.

When Makarov mentioned that he was looking for someone in the guild to duel Qi Yan, he was eager to try. When the guild leader actually called his name, he couldn't contain his excitement and jumped onto the table.

"The guild master actually sent Natsu to fight!"

"The newbies are in for a lot of trouble!"

Qi Yan also looked at Natsu. Natsu is the male protagonist of the Fairy Tail anime. He had seen him since he entered the guild, after all, Natsu's cherry red hair was very eye-catching.

Unexpectedly, the guild master directly challenged Natsu to a duel. As the male protagonist of the anime, Natsu's strength is definitely top-tier in the Fairy Tail guild. He is usually no match for Erza because he cannot get serious when facing his guildmates. If he does get serious, his strength is definitely S-class.

However, Qi Yan was also somewhat excited at this moment. He didn't know whether his current strength was stronger or weaker than Natsu's, and he wanted to have a showdown with Natsu, the male protagonist.

Seeing this, Cana immediately took out a sign, wrote Qi Yan and Natsu's names on it, and shouted, "Place your bets! Place your bets!"

"Newcomer Qi Yan VS Natsu!"

"Bet on the newcomer to win at 2 to 1, and bet on Natsu to win at 1 to 1!"

When the guild members heard what Kana said, they all rushed over to join in the fun.

"I bet on Natsu! 2000J!"

"I bet on Natsu! 3000J!"

"I bet on Natsu! 3000J!"...

Almost everyone was betting on Natsu to win, which made Cana a little anxious. Although each person's bet was not large, there were still a lot of people betting! If Natsu really won, she might lose a month's worth of alcohol money.

"Hey! Why are you all betting on Natsu? You should bet on the newbie too! If the newbie wins, you'll get double the payout!"

Marcao laughed, "Haha! Of course we'd bet on Natsu! Why would we bet on a newcomer!"

Wakaba chimed in with a laugh, "That's right! That's right!"

How risky is it to bet on newcomers? Yanaz is a sure thing, everyone knows how to choose.

"I bet on the newbie to win! 3000J!"

A purple-haired girl wearing glasses chose to bet on Qi Yan to win.

Dorel advised, "Hey! Rachel, your opponent is that Natsu!"

Leqi pushed up her glasses and said, "It's okay! It's just the cost of a day's meals anyway. It's too pitiful for a newcomer to have no support."

Qi Yan glanced at Le Qi. He had a vague impression of Le Qi. She didn't appear much in the anime and was originally an unnoticed nobody. However, when Fairy Tail was in trouble, she was one of the few who insisted on staying in the Fairy Tail guild until everyone returned from Tenrou Island.

The fact that she stayed in the guild under those circumstances was enough to prove that she had a deep affection for Fairy Tail. It was from that moment that Qi Yan remembered the girl's name.

When Le Qi saw Qi Yan looking at her, she smiled at him.

"I'm also betting on the newcomer to win!"

"Mira?!"

Mira was the one who defeated Qi Yan.

"I think that since the newcomer dared to take on such a mission, he must be quite strong, and he might be able to defeat Natsu."

When the others heard Mira say that, they agreed. Although they were not familiar with Qi Yan, the fact that Qi Yan dared to take on that mission meant that he must be quite capable.

Next, people started betting on Qi Yan to win, but more people still bet on Natsu to win.

Soon everyone arrived at the open space behind the guild. Behind the guild was a large open space, and beyond that was a boundless lake.

This place is often used to settle personal grudges. Natsu and Gray, Mira and Erza, fought here a lot when they were young.

"Go for it, Natsu! Show the newbies how good you are!"

"Good luck, newbie! My drinks tonight are counting on you!!"

The spectators were all cheering for the two players.

"Hello, I'm Nanatsu, nice to meet you."

"My name is Qi Yan. Nice to meet you."

Qi Yan and Natsu greeted each other.

Natsu asked curiously, "What kind of magic are you using?"

Qi Yan replied, "I used receiving magic."

Natsu's eyes lit up: "Oh! So it's receiving magic!"

In the Fairy Tail guild, the siblings Mira and Elfman use Receiving Magic. Both of them are very strong, especially Mira, who is as strong as a monster. Unfortunately, they can no longer use magic.

"Both sides prepare!"

"Full Body Receive! Ulquiorra Cifer!"

Qi Yan's body began to change. His original black clothes turned into a white-faced, black-based high-necked long-sleeved jacket, and his lower body was dressed in a white kimono-style trousers skirt, which was tied with a wide black sash. A Zanpakuto was stuck in the sash, and he wore black stockings and white shoes.
