Chapter 14 Officially Joins
Looking at the short, old man standing on the second floor, Lucy's eyes were filled with confusion.
In his mind, the kind old man in front of him and the terrifying giant from before did not match each other at all.
It's so weird.
"It must be magic!"
Sensing Lucy's confusion, Shirou Kotomine, who was standing nearby, said with concern.
In this magical world, Shirou Kotomine felt that this phrase could be used to explain any phenomenon that defied common sense.
It's practically an all-purpose phrase.
.
"You guys have caused me trouble again!"
Standing on the second-floor railing, Makarov, the third guild master of Fairy Tail, pulled out a thick stack of documents from behind him and solemnly scrutinized everyone below.
"Take a good look at all of them and see just how many documents have been sent from the council."
Under Makarov's stern expression, these previously lawless individuals dared not utter a sound.
"Isn't the Council of Mages the organization that manages the Mage Guild?"
Influenced by the surrounding environment, Lucy whispered in Shirou Kotomine's ear.
"Um!"
Kotomine Shirou nodded slightly.
After two days of reflection and information gathering, Shirou Kotomine recalled many important matters.
This includes the Council of Judges, an institution that plays a very important role in the early stages of the story.
After all, there is a popular character in the council.
That was Jellal, one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
The so-called Ten Wizard Saints are the ten strongest mages on this continent, as determined by the Wizarding Council.
Makarov, the guild master of Fairy Tail, is one of them.
"first!"
Looking at the documents in his hand, Makarov began to read out one by one the mistakes made by all the reported members.
These mistakes all stemmed from their willful and reckless behavior.
For example, the reports about Natsu all involve him causing damage to other buildings in the vicinity during missions due to the intense fighting.
For example, in their previous battle at the port, Natsu and Lucy's successive attacks destroyed the entire port.
It would be strange if this situation didn't get reported.
As Makarov called out names one by one, everyone present lowered their heads.
"You people are the ones who make me get scolded by the council all the time."
As he spoke, Makarov's body trembled involuntarily, as if his anger was about to burst forth.
As a result, the crowd below became even quieter.
Influenced by this atmosphere, Lucy couldn't help but tremble.
Knowing full well what was going to happen, and even looking forward to it, Shirou Kotomine patted Lucy on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright."
"Really?"
Lucy asked softly.
"Of course, look at the expressions on the faces of the other people around you."
Following Shirou Kotomine's advice, Lucy looked around at the crowd.
Sure enough, Lucy didn't see any fear or dread on the expressions of the other people around her.
"Then what is this?"
"but."
After a moment of silence, Makarov continued his angry rebuke.
But this time, he wasn't reprimanding the Fairy Tail members.
"Let those council guys go eat shit!"
Flames rose from Makarov's palm, igniting the documents from the council in his hand, which he then casually tossed aside.
Seeing this, Natsu quickly leaped up and swallowed the ball of flame.
"well?"
Seeing Lucy's completely bewildered expression, Makarov's tone quickly shifted from scolding to instructing.
"All powers that defy reason are born from reason."
"Magic is not a miracle; it is manifested when the wavelength of the 'qi' flowing within our bodies matches that of the 'qi' flowing in nature."
"Magic is the result of concentrating one's mental strength and focus; no, it is the result of infusing one's entire soul."
As he explained the true meaning of magic, Makarov's expression also broke into a smile.
"If we care about what those above us think, then our path of demonic cultivation will never progress."
"So don't be afraid of those fools in the council, just follow the path you believe in!"
"This is what a Fairy Tail mage should be like!"
"oh!!!"
In the blink of an eye, the once quiet guild was filled with shouts.
Amidst the deafening cheers, Lucy wore a blissful expression.
Then Mine Shirou smiled with satisfaction.
He really liked Makarov's words.
This passage expresses his expectations for guild members: that they should be unaffected by external influences and move towards their ideals.
Therefore, Fairy Tail is more like a family compared to other guilds.
As an elder, Makarov was always teaching these younger generations.
To help them grow.
Of course, while Makarov did not reprimand them for their actions, this does not mean that the members of Fairy Tail are truly lawless.
Before engaging in combat, they would evacuate innocent civilians.
After the battle, they will also compensate for the losses they caused.
Like Natsu, when he met Shirou Kotomine and Lucy, he had no money left after taking the train.
As a powerful and hardworking mage, he should theoretically have a lot of money.
Where did his money go?
This is self-evident.
As for what others have done, it's even less worth mentioning.

Because of his childhood habit of practicing magic, Gray would often take off his clothes unintentionally, even on the street.
Elfman is straightforward and doesn't treat those who commission missions differently because of their status. If someone crosses him, even if they are the commissioner, he won't give them any face.
Kana, on the other hand, loves to drink, and drinks a lot, so when she's out on missions, she always ends up leaving her drinking debts on the council's account.
Loki, on the other hand, was always flirting with women.
For these reasons, they are frequently reported.
Then go and repent.
But repentance is one thing, but changing one's ways is another.
.
After Chairman Makarov finished his instruction, Fairy Tail returned to a peaceful state, and the noise resumed.
The Fairy Tail members also got busy.
Busy repairing tables, chairs, and benches.
Perhaps because they often joked around like this, their movements were extremely skilled, and the guild quickly returned to normal.
Then, guided by Mirajane, Shirou Kotomine and Lucy arrived at the counter.
Here, the two will be stamped with badges representing Fairy Tail members.
Only those who possess this badge are considered true members of Fairy Tail.
As for the tests for joining a guild?
With Natsu's explanation, there's no need for this at all.
"I want it printed here."
Lucy extended the back of her right hand.
"OK."
Mirajane smiled and stamped the seal on the back of Lucy's right hand.
When Mirajane picked up the stamp, a fairy-like mark was left on the back of Lucy's hand.
This was printed with special magic ink.
Unless special methods are used, it cannot be washed off.
"So, Shirou, where do you plan to print it?"
Mirajane turned and asked.
"Me?"
Looking at the seal in Mirajane's hand, Shirou Kotomine fell into deep thought.
Because they need to use this to prove their identity as members of Fairy Tail when completing missions.
Therefore, Mirajane suggested printing the badge in a more conspicuous place.
Like Natsu, it's printed on his arm.
Another character, Gray, who frequently took off his clothes, had his image imprinted on his chest.
However, none of these positions were among Kotomine Shirou's considerations.
After all, he was neither like Natsu who almost never changed his clothes, nor like Gray who often took off his clothes.
Obviously, he could only get it printed on the back of his hand.
"I remember the Command Seals of Holy Grail War participants appear on the back of their left hand, right?"
After a moment of contemplation, Shirou Kotomine also extended the back of his right hand.
"Thank you, I'll have it printed on the back of my hand too."
"OK."
With Mirajane's stamp, Shirou Kotomine became a true member of Fairy Tail.
