Chapter 61 - The Strongest Fairy Tail is Of Course

One day later, early in the morning…

“You ask me who is the strongest mage in Fairy Tail?”

Evan, who was looking for tasks in front of the task board, turned around to look after hearing Gray’s question.

“Hmm! We really want to know who is the strongest member of this guild!”

Gray and Lyon looked at each other, their eyes were looking at Evan, full of little sparkling stars.

“The strongest mage in Fairy Tail is not in this guild now! You can’t see it under normal circumstances.” After finishing speaking, Evan picked up a quest and turned to leave. The moment Evan passed by Gray and Lyon, he suddenly thinking of something, he smiled and said, “Speaking of which, you have seen it yesterday…”

After Evan finished speaking with a smile, he left the Fairy Tail Guild.

“Fairy Tail’s strongest mage isn’t in the guild?!”

“Did we meet that person yesterday? Damn, I can’t remember at all…”

Gray and Lyon glanced at each other, and the two got an important piece of information.

Then they turned to other people…

“Did you say the strongest mage in Fairy Tail!”

“Then it must be between Evan and Gildarts?”

“But in the final analysis, I am more optimistic about Gildarts…”

After Macao poured a jug of beer into his mouth, his face was a little flushed, and because of his dizziness, he spoke words that he didn’t quite understand.

“The strongest mage in Fairy Tail is between Evan and Gildarts…”

“But Evan is sure that the strongest mage in Fairy Tail is not in the guild, so…”

Gray and Lyon looked at each other, and they had a choice.

In the afternoon, when Gildarts came to the guild to drink, the two ambushed Gildarts.

“Ice-Make Tiger!”

“Ice-Make Lance!”

Gildarts looked at the ice cube that was attacking him, grabbed it casually, then gently broke it and threw it into his beer glass.

“Cling… cling…”

“Ah! Cool!”

“Sure enough! You should add ice cubes to your drink!”

After drinking the beer with ice cubes, Gildarts spoke with a comfortable face.

“So what’s the matter with you guys? Brats!”

Gildarts moved his neck a little, looked at Gray and Lyon and asked.

“Damn…”

“We want to know who is the strongest mage in the guild!?”

“Please tell us!”

Gray and Lyon were surprised to see that their strongest magic turned into ice cubes in other people’s cups, and then immediately bowed to Gildarts and asked.

“Senior Macao said that the strongest mage in Fairy Tail is between you and Evan, so we want to ask you what you think about the strongest mage in Fairy Tail!”

Lyon raised his head and spoke calmly to Gildarts.

“Hahaha…”

“So it’s because of this kind of thing!”

“That guy Evan is a genius! Give him another ten years…”

“No, maybe in less than five years, he can catch up with me now?!”

Gildarts sat on his seat, and spoke to Lyon and Gray with a smile.

“Hmm…”

Lyon and Gray shrank their pupils after hearing what Gildarts said, and there was a bit of disbelief in their eyes. According to what Gildarts said, there is no doubt that the current strongest mage in Fairy Tail that is…

“But I’m not the strongest mage in this guild! I advise you two brats not to explore this secret, the strongest mage in Fairy Tail is an out-and-out monster!”

When Gildarts said this, he seemed to think of something, and his body trembled slightly, as if he thought of something terrible in his mind.

That was something that even scared Gildarts…

“Gildarts is not the strongest mage in Fairy Tail, does this guild still hide a mage stronger than Gildarts and Evan?!”

Gray and Lyon looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

“In short, you two brats, let’s focus on your peers! Now you are going to touch that level of magic! It’s too early! Way too early…”

As Gildarts spoke, he drank three more glasses of beer in a row before paying the bill, picked up a mission at random, and walked outside the guild.

Yes, Gildarts did not pay because he had no money at all and all the money he earned was used to pay fines…

“There’s one last person who didn’t ask…”

Gray and Lyon looked at each other, and they found the last one, besides Evan and Gildarts, the last and most likely to be called the strongest mage of Fairy Tail, that is Fairy Tail’s Guild Master, Makarov. He was selected as one of the Ten Wizard Saints by the Magic Council.

However, when they approached Makarov with questions, the answer they got was…

“Old man?!”

“This old man is no longer Gildarts’ opponent!”

Makarov was wearing clothes like a circus clown, sitting on his seat and speaking to Gray and Lyon with a smile.

“Eh?! But Gildarts said that he is not the strongest mage in Fairy Tail!”

Gray and Lyon were completely shocked this time.

“Yeah! Gildarts is indeed not the strongest mage in Fairy Tail!”

“Then here comes the problem…”

“Evan said that Fairy Tail’s strongest mage is often not in the guild!”

“Gildarts told you that he is stronger than Evan, but he is not the strongest mage in Fairy Tail.”

“And my answer is that Gildarts’ strength has long surpassed mine…”

“Then please answer now, who is Fairy Tail’s strongest mage?”

“Let’s leave this answer to you to find out for yourself! By the way, let me remind you, pay attention to everyone who enters the guild, the strongest mage in Fairy Tail may be there…”

Makarov was sitting on the bar, speaking to Gray and Lyon with a smile, but the words he said at the moment were completely childish.

For a while, Gray and Lyon were silent.

In the next few days, their eyes kept scanning everyone in the guild. In their eyes, everyone in the guild seemed to be hiding a big secret behind them.

However, for several days, the two of them still had nothing to gain from the so-called strongest mage…

Until…

On the afternoon of the sixth day when Gray, Lyon and others joined Fairy Tail.

A beautiful woman with long crimson hair in a gorgeous long dress walked into the guild. She first smiled at Gray and Lyon, then looked at Evan who was constantly looking for quests in front of the quest board, smiled said, “Evan, today is your birthday, let’s get together after a long time, but Erza can’t wait for dinner.”

“Irene…”

“If you don’t tell me, I will forget…”

Evan, who was looking for a quest, heard the familiar voice behind him, put down the quest list in his hand, and followed the beautiful lady with long crimson hair.

“Haha…”

Before Irene left, she smiled slightly at Makarov and Gildarts who were sitting at the bar.

Gildarts, who was drinking, looked at Irene who walked into the guild, and his body froze. He waited until Irene and Evan left, and then quickly took a gulp of beer to suppress his shock.

“Who is that beautiful lady?! I seem to have seen it somewhere?”

Lyon and Gray asked Gildarts and Makarov after Irene left.

“That’s Irene, the mage of Fairy Tail, and the mother of Evan and Erza! She’s a real beauty!”

After hearing the question between Lyon and Gray, Makarov sat at the bar and spoke with a smile.

“Evan and Erza’s mother?!”

“Could she be the strongest mage in Fairy Tail?”

Gray and Lyon looked at each other.

Then Grey laughed loudly, “Hahaha, no way! Such a good-looking aunt, no matter how she looks, she doesn’t look like the monster that Gildarts said!”

Gildarts froze when he heard the words, and then he said very sincerely, “Stinky brats! I never said that the strongest mage in Fairy Tail is a monster…”

“Aunt?!”

“These two brats are going to be unlucky?”

After listening to what Gray and Lyon said, Makarov, who was looking down at the few people with a smile on his head, thought silently in his heart.

Although the little old man doesn’t say anything, but the little old man understands everything…

On the other side, Irene outside the door twitched her ears slightly, she raised her finger lightly, and a high-level Caster Magic flew into the guild.

“Aunt?!”

“I’ll punish you guys!!!”

Irene was in a very happy mood and made an extremely happy decision.

“Irene, do you know Gildarts?!”

Evan naturally noticed that Gildarts was abnormal after seeing Irene, so she asked.

“Well, when you and Erza went to the back mountain for training, I had a little encounter with that idiot…”

Irene smiled and answered Evan’s question.

“Uh, there is a slight intersection?!”

Evan carefully savored the four words that Irene said.

“It’s nothing serious. I just talked to that idiot. I took you on an S-Class Quest without my permission as a parent…”

Irene looked at Evan and explained.

“The result…”

Evan asked tentatively. In fact, he probably already guessed the result.

“Of course, I’ll give him a good meal. It’s better for Evan to keep out of contact with that kind of dubious person! Otherwise, Evan will easily become that kind of person when he grows up!” Irene stroked gently. Touching Evan’s small head, she asked in a low voice, “Speaking of which, won’t Evan become such a person when he grows up?”

Evan: “…”

Evan remained silent. At the same time, he remembered something. Now he finally knew why when he happened to meet Gildarts on the ice field when he was carrying out the quest against Deliora, the other party was furious. The way Gildarts looked at him, he hit him directly.

It turned out that Gildarts couldn’t beat Irene, so he ran to find him to settle the score…

In the guild on the other side…

“No! My stomach hurts so much I can’t stand it!”

“Me too…”

Gray and Lyon were in the toilet sheding painful tears.
