A mage on the same level as our own grandfather! How could Mo En possibly defeat him?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… who’s Joseph Bola? Is he that strong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirajane asked curiously from the side; she wasn’t joking—she genuinely had no idea who “Joseph Bola” was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spent all day running jobs to earn money and paid no attention to such things; she didn’t even know Makarov was a Saint Ten Wizard Sage, let alone what a Saint Ten Wizard Sage was—she had a kind of pure, innocent ignorance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s the president of Phantom Lord, a mage as powerful as Master Makarov, one of the strongest on the entire Ishgaria continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza spoke slowly, answering Mirajane; she too was stunned. Normally, she’d have mocked Mirajane for knowing nothing—but right now, she had no such mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That strong?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Erza’s words, Mirajane’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirajane stared at Mo En in shock; she knew he was strong, but was this just a little too much?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t Mo En the same age as her and Erza?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirajane stared blankly at Mo En, feeling as if a mystical aura surrounded him, making it impossible to see how many secrets he truly held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s exaggerated, way too exaggerated—listen to me, I’ll explain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En quickly explained the events; if things kept going like this, everyone would start looking at him like some kind of god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Mo En carefully explained Makarov’s crucial role in the battle, everyone’s expressions finally calmed down a bit—they realized Mo En had done it under the Master’s protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were still stunned; even so, the fact that Mo En’s single Jixumoli  strike had severely wounded Joseph Bola was insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do Itachi know what everyone outside is calling Itachi now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laxus looked at Mo En with a complex expression, but as he mentioned this topic, his face twisted oddly, as if he was barely holding back laughter—Mo En instantly felt something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calling me what? Not some weird nickname, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En frowned; the magic world was like a “jianghu”—those who excelled, stood out, or became famous usually had a “courtesy name,” something like “known in the jianghu as XXX.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such nicknames were never chosen by the person themselves—they spread naturally, based on traits or deeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If others call Itachi “Wu Yanzu,” Itachi’re probably handsome; if Itachi call yourself “Wu Yanzu,” Itachi’re just confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rose Star God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laxus said it, struggling to keep a straight face—it sounded too feminine, like a woman’s nickname.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En relaxed his brow; while not exactly to his taste, it was far better than some ridiculous alternatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Rose is because I used Royal Magic Palace Rose… and Star God… because of my line about “all stars’ spirits shine for me”? ’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En thought to himself, exhaling slightly; the title was fine otherwise—it just made him sound like some strange being ruling over the “Path of Roses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rose Star God?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Laxus’s nickname, the kids erupted in excitement; they didn’t find it strange—only envious that Mo En had already become famous. Such a nickname wasn’t something anyone could earn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all wanted one too, but they had no idea when that might happen—even a mediocre, unflattering nickname was beyond most people’s reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So everyone was envious, their gazes toward Mo En growing more reverent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say Itachi’re the true prodigy, a celestial star spirit incarnate—twelve or thirteen years old, yet Itachi defeated a Saint Ten Wizard Sage. No one in history ever dared imagine such a thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laxus continued; he’d just returned from a mission and had gathered all these rumors along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s getting more absurd by the minute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En rubbed his forehead; what the hell? Why are the Masters so loose-lipped?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—what did Grandpa say during the meeting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En suddenly realized—if this rumor had spread so far, then what Grandpa Makarov had blurted out during the meeting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did he say? The old man talked? I didn’t hear anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laxus looked puzzled; he’d been thorough in his Dating  and hadn’t heard a single word about Makarov’s remarks—no one had even mentioned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the old man’s mouth was tight after all?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why did the fight rumor spread so fast?! Everyone loves a good spectacle, right?! Everyone’s just hoping Joseph Bola drops dead, right?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rumor had spread this quickly, this wildly—Mo En couldn’t imagine how furious Joseph Bola must be right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joseph Bola had just made a single misstep and lost everything forever—Mo En’s name had stepped right over his head onto the stage of history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he’d debuted not just as famous, but as an invincible Shaoniantianjiao —this kind of fame surge was absurdly excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! Perfect! Perfect! Joseph Bola must be furious enough to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Makarov shuffled over—he’d been listening to the kids’ conversation the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of Mo En truly rising to fame by stepping on Joseph Bola made him laugh uncontrollably—he’d won big this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t even a double win—it was a multi-win! “Fairy Tail” won multiple times! The losers? Joseph Bola and Phantom Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Joseph Bola wasn’t angry at the rumors—because he hadn’t even heard them yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fleeing in disgrace from Croba “through the night,” he’d rushed back to Phantom Lord and immediately entered seclusion to heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d remained in seclusion ever since—until the rumors had fully fermented. In a way, his seclusion had actually fueled the spread, because he never stepped forward to deny it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were spreading this outrageous story, and it had already made front-page headlines across newspapers, magazines, and journals—but Joseph Bola hadn’t come out to refute it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why? Need Itachi ask? Of course because he was truly severely wounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, who were the ones spreading this? The presidents of major guilds! Could it possibly be false?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newspapers and magazines dared print it as front-page news precisely because their sources were incredibly reliable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the official newspaper of the Fiore Kingdom had specifically mentioned it. Elsewhere on Ishgaria, the rumor might not have spread so wildly—but in Fiore, Mo En had become a household name, a legendary Shaoniantian � Jiao .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En had expected to gain fame from this, but not to this extent—it had surpassed even his wildest expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Masters really went all out to annoy Joseph Bola...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En sighed; fame wasn’t bad, but too much fame might attract unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I need to lie low for a while—cool this down a bit.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En made his decision; he didn’t think people were exaggerating about him—because his future would be even greater, far beyond what they could imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before that future arrived, he needed caution—“I am not yet strong; when I am strong, change will come.” That saying should wait until he truly became strong. Mo En hoped he could reach that strength safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his hope was unlikely to come true—first, Phantom Lord would never let him have peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a tree towers above the forest, the wind will surely break it—especially when this tree had grown right on top of their president Joseph Bola’s grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible for Phantom Lord to tolerate this. While Joseph Bola remained in seclusion, Phantom Lord’s members had grown restless—and his continued absence only deepened their fears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they hadn’t been able to sense their president’s evil-infused magic still flowing, they’d have already feared he was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t let this continue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Phantom Lord’s guild hall, members gathered to discuss Duice —they all knew they couldn’t wait any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If President Joseph wouldn’t emerge, they had to act themselves—the public opinion had already damaged the entire guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1363,"2026-06-21T03:49:57.516Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","af44e33a2780846ac30e5989e6435c67f5255fe09cd95ddd8cc2b853ea51b434","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-97","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-95",103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-cover.jpg"]
