With the handle in Noah's hands, Laxus has become much more honest recently. Although he is still rebellious, his attitude towards Makarov has become much better.
"You did a great job, Noah."
In the president's office on the third floor, Makarov was looking at the magic projection sent by Noah with a smile. The content was of course Laxus's words asking for help.
Although Noah promised Laxus that the video would not be leaked unless he broke the rules, Makarov is his biological grandfather, so how can it be considered a leak if it is not seen by outsiders?
Makarov was very happy. Ever since he personally expelled his son Ivan from the guild, he hadn't seen any expression other than "indifference" on Laxus' face for a long time.
The more Makarov looked at Noah, the more he liked him. He didn't know why he always felt a sense of intimacy and inexplicable trust towards him.
"Noah, you're not really planning to copy 100 images, are you?"
"It's hard to say."
Noah shrugged. In his opinion, Laxus's behavior was a bit excessive.
Not only does he look down on his companions because of his own strength, he even dreams of becoming the president and expelling the weak companions, only recruiting strong ones, and making Fairy Tail even stronger.
Laxus and Makarov had quarreled many times because of this matter, and apart from rejecting his rebellious grandson's unreasonable proposals, all Makarov could do was sulk alone. He was no longer able to discipline the grown-up Laxus.
Noah thought that if he continued to indulge Laxus like this, that guy might one day use force to seize the position of president and use extreme methods to "strengthen" the guild.
Therefore, it would be best to use some means to make Laxus have some concerns.
"No, Laxus loves the guild very much and won't do what you said." Although Laxus was used to being arrogant, Makarov still believed that he would not do anything to harm the guild.
Noah shrugged again. What he had just said was just the worst-case scenario. Just like Makarov said, it was unlikely that Laxus would do anything too extreme to the guild.
"Noah, come and help me…"
Watching Makarov take out a stack of letter papers from the drawer, Noah knew what he was going to do, so he ran away.
Makarov looked at this scene in astonishment, his mouth twitching, "Really? Is it so terrible to ask everyone to write a letter of apology for me? I only need to write a dozen letters this time."
Noah quickly went down from the third floor to the first floor lobby, and was relieved when he saw that Makarov did not chase him. The president actually wanted him, a lazy guy, to help write a self-criticism. The president was really getting old and confused.
"Noah, you're there!"
Such an enthusiastic voice could only come from one person. Natsu lifted up his partner, the blue cat Happy, and said, "I've been waiting for a long time. Let your cheese compete with my Happy!"
"The winner will be named the strongest cat in the guild!"
Mira, who had just returned from delivering wine, passed by Noah and snickered, "Haha, it seems that you have been targeted by a troublesome guy."
Noah simply ignored Natsu's invitation to a cat duel. The Transcendence Cat only needs to be cute and it is better not to get involved in fighting.
"It's so boring. I've been working hard to cultivate my Haki, but there's no place for me to display it."
Seeing that Noah didn't want the cats to compete, Natsu lay on the table in boredom, and glanced at the blonde girl who was talking and laughing with Levi, "Got it, Lucy! Levi! Let me help you train, so that you can learn Haki sooner."
The petite literary girl Leibi smiled awkwardly, "Well, the city library has expanded recently, and there are many more books, so the practice of domineering… let's put it off for some time."
Lucy flatly refused. After joining Fairy Tail for two months, she had already become familiar with the guild. It would even be better for her not to join in on Natsu's strange idea on a whim.
"What? We are a team mate…"
Natsu continued to lie on the table, looking at Lucy with resentful eyes.
Lucy also had something to say. If she hadn't been attracted by Happy's cute appearance, she wouldn't have teamed up with Natsu.
Ever since teaming up with Natsu, Lucy not only hasn't made a penny from the commissions, she's even lost some of it. However, the process of doing the commissions is very exciting, and the blonde girl really likes that feeling.
But speaking of commissions, Natsu seemed to remember something.
"Eh? Happy, did we forget a commission?"
"Love? Do you have it?"
The blue cat, who was sitting with Cheese and eating dried fish, had a puzzled look on his face. Lucy also confirmed again and again that all the commissions their team had recently accepted were completed, but the rewards were returned as compensation for the damage.
Natsu shook his head, "No, you hadn't joined the guild when I took that commission, Lucy. It seemed like it was several years ago."
"Harpy was just a kitten a few years ago. How can he remember it?"
Mira glanced at Natsu and whispered to Lucy beside him, but looking at Natsu's serious expression, the commission might be very important.
"It seems like a group of invisible people… Please ask me to defeat an evil scientist?"
With his brows furrowed, Natsu tried hard to remember.
Suddenly, a name popped up in his mind, and Natsu slammed the table hard, "Oh no! Soundless Town! How could I have forgotten about this!"
As Natsu exclaimed in annoyance, a reminder sounded in Noah's mind.
[Local Prayer Request]
[Due to the influence of the magic of "Invisibility", Atrias Natsu Dragneel has forgotten the promise he made to the residents of "Silent Town". Please help him fulfill his promise a few years ago and save the invisible residents of the town.]
[Reward: Devouring Flames]
[Duration: 24 hours]
Wow, finally got another order from Natsu. Noah thought he could get the "Fire Dragon Slayer" in one go, but he didn't expect it to be just the ability of the Dragon Slayer to devour elements of the same attribute.
Fire resistance, flame swallowing… maybe with a few more requests from Natsu, Noah will be able to piece together a complete fire dragon slayer magic.
"Natsu, now that you remember it, stop blaming yourself. Go to that Silent Town and see if there is still a chance to make amends."
"Don't worry, I'll be with you."
Noah's voice brought Natsu back to his sense of self-blame, and he nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Noah. We have to leave soon."
