Even a fair judge finds family affairs hard to settle—he had poured all his attention into the guild’s affairs and neglected his family, resulting now in his son being expelled and his eldest grandson becoming brooding and barely speaking to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Mo En, Macao felt a measure of comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least Mo En, my little grandson, is outstanding, mature, and easy to manage—if not, my parenting method would be a total failure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Macao found solace in Mo En’s presence; it kept him from sinking too deeply into despair, allowed him to vent, and occasionally even consult Mo En on how to correct Laxus’s temperament—Mo En truly eased his burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, Mo En’s current personality had nothing to do with Macao—it was Mo En’s factory default setting, though Mo En would never tell Macao this; let Grandpa Macao find comfort in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They soon arrived home; Macao returned to his first-floor room, while Mo En went upstairs, walked to Laxus’s door, and the room’s light, which had just been on, instantly went dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En shook his head and returned to his own room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding-ding ling-ling dang-dang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Mo En was woken by a frantic bell ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of daze, Mo En immediately threw off the covers and pressed his face to the window—this bell was not his own alarm, but the sound of the great clock tower in Magnolia City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Gildarts back?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the urgent rhythm of the bell, Mo En instantly realized this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bell’s rhythm held a very special meaning in Magnolia City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was telling the citizens that the city was about to activate “Gildarts Mode,” because that man had returned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gildarts, the strongest mage of the Fairy Tail Guild!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Warning! Warning! Magnolia City is switching to Gildarts Mode! All citizens, proceed immediately to designated positions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiny-winged magical loudspeakers fluttered through the air, loudly broadcasting the message to notify every citizen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under Mo En’s gaze, the entire city began to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire city split open—yes, physically split open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the city entrance to the Fairy Tail Guildhall, along that line, all buildings on either side slid horizontally apart, clearing a path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On both sides of this path, building foundations rose like walls, and symbols marking direction were painted on the ground, as if afraid the man might take a wrong turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This scene—no matter how many times I see it, it still feels magnificent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning against the window, watching it unfold, Mo En murmured; Gildarts’s terrifying power was evident in Magnolia City’s reaction—this man’s destructive force was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gildarts used a super-class destruction magic called “Shatter”—what others treated as their ultimate weapon was, to Gildarts, the most basic magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Shatter” magic could completely pulverize anything he touched, a terrifying ability; and Gildarts himself was absentminded, prone to zoning out—when he slipped into a daze, his Shatter magic would unconsciously destroy surrounding buildings, making him a walking bulldozer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After suffering several losses, Magnolia City resolved to reform, transforming its main street into “Gildarts Mode” to prevent him from accidentally demolishing roads and homes—the result was exactly what stood before them now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That dad’s back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gildarts is back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the crowd’s shouts, Mo En quickened his pace and rushed toward the guildhall—he had to open the door, or else Gildarts might just tear the building apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Click!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En opened the door and exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t go inside—he waited outside, because if no one was there to greet him, if no one reminded Gildarts, that man wouldn’t even use the door!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En had been in the guild for years—he knew these people’s personalities all too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s put it this way: not only the young ones were unreliable, but the older ones were just as bad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Fairy Tail, the only legitimate mage guild in Magnolia City, was both admired as a point of pride and feared as a dangerous element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En waited at the door, and soon saw “that man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gildarts was broad-shouldered, with an orange pompadour, a light stubble on his chin, draped in a dark green cloak over a dark vest, a wide belt around his waist, dark blue trousers, and brown boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gildarts drew closer, Mo En saw clearly—the hem of his cloak was frayed and worn, giving him an overall air of carefree ruggedness, full of masculine charm, unmistakably “uncle-like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Gildarts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En shouted loudly—because if he didn’t, that man would just crash straight into the guild’s outer wall!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En wasn’t worried about Gildarts getting hurt—he was worried the wall would break! This had happened more than once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En’s shout jolted Gildarts awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Mo En? Why are Itachi standing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gildarts looked at Mo En in confusion, as if puzzled by his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I’m here to meet Itachi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En couldn’t help covering his face—this was the strongest mage of Fairy Tail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, so we’re already at the guild?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of realization, Gildarts suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book seeking support!
