Chapter 137

Not far away, Gray, who had gotten out of another carriage, also expressed a view similar to Lucy's........

They all felt that the moment they saw the Bobu Society Master's villa, goosebumps erupted all over.

But before Gray and Lucy could continue talking, a friendly greeting came from not far away.

"Yo, everyone from Fairy Tail."

"It's really been a while since we last met."

A bald uncle who looked somewhat serious and kind stood not far away, waving at Erza and the others.

This was another core combatant of the Mages' Guild Snake Princess's Scale, the bottom-ranker of the Ten Holy Mages, the unit of measurement for Fairy Tail's combat power, Jura Neekis.

Looking at the arriving members of Fairy Tail, a relieved expression appeared on Jura's face, and he said, "Seeing everyone from Fairy Tail in such good condition, that's really great."

Seeing that the people from Fairy Tail had come, he could finally be free of it.

The mere thought of facing the Bobu Society Master, whose sexual orientation was a bit strange, all by himself made Jura's scalp tingle.

Fortunately, the Fairy Tail members weren't late, and there were quite a few good-looking male mages in Fairy Tail — for example, Natsu and Gray were both somewhat handsome, and in any case, more handsome than Jura.

So, the president of the Blue Pegasus, Bobu Society Master, wouldn't set his sights on Jura.

"Jura, your magical power has improved quite a bit again."

Makarov gave Jura a brief once-over, then said with some relief, "It looks like it won't be long before you can take another step forward; the ranking among the Ten Holy Mages might even be able to move up a notch."

But then again.

The Ten Holy Mage number six, Jose, was killed, and the Ten Holy Mage number nine, Simon, was Jellal's Thought Body.

Even if Jura maintained the status quo without changing, his ranking could move up two places, going from the previous bottom-ranker of the Ten Holy Mages to the Ten Holy Mage number eight.

"Makarov Society Master is too kind with his words."

"My strength still has room for improvement; I still need to go through more tempering."
