Chapter 62 - Selection of the Ten Wizard Saints

Magic Council, Era…

“Members of Council! The reason why I summoned you here is that everyone should understand why…”

“As for the candidates for the new Ten Wizard Saints, I hope everyone can make a decision before the end of the year!”

The chairman of the Magic Council, a fat and wretched middle-aged man, spoke to the members of the council in front of him.

“Candidates for the top Ten Wizard Saints…”

All of a sudden, the members of the council below began to have difficulties.

“Still as usual, everyone speaks out the recommended candidates, and then we vote to confirm whether they can be selected!”

The chairman of the Magic Council yawned. To be honest, the reason why he wanted to settle now was because he was afraid of being forced to work overtime during the holiday.

This bad old man has already booked his leisure time at the end of this year…

“Does anyone have a suitable recommender? If not, this year will continue as usual, and the quota will be reserved, and we will discuss it next year…”

The chairman of the Magic Council said that he was planning to postpone the selection of the top Ten Wizard Saints. Anyway, the top Ten Wizard Saints are not selected every year. Even if one is selected in three to five years, it is nothing…

Moreover, the reason why the Ten Wizard Saints is the Ten Wizard Saints is because there are only ten places, and when the places are full, they will not select more.

And the reason why the selection of the Ten Wizard Saints gave the chairman of the Magic Council a headache was because the vacancy of the current Ten Wizard Saints was too serious.

“Me! I have a choice!”

Just then, Yajima raised his hand.

“Tsk…”

The chairman of the Magic Council looked at Yajima who raised his hand, and felt a little uncomfortable. The meeting that was about to be dissolved soon had to continue after Yajima raised his hand.

If there were some new members of council, the speaker will ignore them directly, but Yajima’s seniority was so high.

It could be said that among the people who were still alive in the Fairy Tail and had not retired, he was one of the person with the highest seniority.

Also known as the old immortal guy…

“Mr. Yajima, you said…”

The chairman of the Magic Council, this wretched fellow, smiled at Yajima.

“That…”

“The people I recommend are still the same as in previous years…”

“It is the member of Fairy Tail Guild, Gildarts who is known as the strongest mage in the west of Ishgar!”

“Whether it is strength or the achievements he has made, I think it is completely enough.”

With hands behind his back, Yajima announced his choice.

“No! Absolutely not!”

As soon as Yajima finished speaking, he was immediately opposed by others.

“How can we make a mage with such a low-end character become one of the Ten Wizard Saints?!”

“Everyone! The selection of the Ten Wizard Saintsn should not only be based on strength! Compared with strength, we should pay more attention to character!”

“Do you know what the outside world calls Gildarts from Fairy Tail?”

“They all said that Gildarts is a shit mage who has nothing but strength!”

Those who opposed Yajima had their reasons, and took advantage of Gildarts’ shortcomings, and directly angered him!

As a matter of fact, Gildarts’ shortcomings are indeed numerous, and the council in front of him still gave Yajima a bit of a slack, and they can tell more about the mistakes that Gildarts has made…

Oh, if you talk about it in more detail, it seems that you can go directly to the arrest warrant…

“What?!”

Yajima did not expect that Gildarts would attract so many opposition from members of council, and he immediately shut up about Gildarts, because besides Gildarts, he has other suitable people who can become the Ten Wizard Saints…

“If Gildarts can’t do it!”

“Then I have another candidate. He is a rising star in the magic world. He just joined the Fairy Tail Guild this year, and he has done countless deeds that many people would hardly accomplish in their lifetime! He is Evan Belserion!”

“It just so happens that Evan has just completed the 10 Years Quest to eliminate the terrifying Deliora created by the evil mage Zeref, who ravaged the continent and wiped out countless towns! It is enough to make him one of the Ten Wizard Saints! Originally, I planned to let Evan and Gildarts be among the Ten Wizard Saints at the same time, but since you strongly oppose Gildarts, I have no choice but to choose Evan alone…”

As Yajima said, he sighed helplessly. He originally planned to compete for two spots for Fairy Tail, and then let Makarov have a good time. Now it seems that he can only choose one.

“No, and Evan absolutely can’t either!”

Unexpectedly, just after Yajima was selected, he immediately got opposition from other people.

“Why not?! Are you trying to target me?! Why do you deny the other when I choose one?!”

Hearing this, Yajima frowned. He felt that these senators were planning to oppose him and target him. Otherwise, how could someone jump out and vote against him as soon as he had chosen someone?!

“Senator Yajima, we are really not targeting you, mainly this Evan…”

“Evan has shown extraordinary destructive power at such a young age!”

“Did you not see the scene of the battle between Evan and Deliora! It was a mess, the entire village and even the nearby mountains were destroyed! Although there were no more casualties after Evan arrived, but this terrain destructive power! How can we choose him?!”

The senators looked at each other, and then explained to Yajima bravely.

“Then who do you think should be chosen?!”

“Oh, none of the people I’ve chosen are good. I said character is more important than strength!”

“Then when Deliora was wreaking havoc on the earth, why didn’t you see your so-called good-natured mage go up and stop him?”

“Yes, those with good character and insufficient strength will die!”

“The crusade against Deliora failed, and those who were crushed were all mages with good morals in your eyes…”

Yajima’s mouth was like a machine gun, and it fired at the judges.

After finishing speaking, Yajima took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then continued to speak, “Character? Hehe, I think you all have good character, why don’t you do this! In the future, Zeref’s demons will continue to wreak havoc on the mainland. When destroying towns, don’t go looking for Fairy Tail to attack them, you go on your own, and use your noble character to conquer those demons that eat people and don’t spit out their bones! Look at the great demons created by Zeref, will I sit down and calmly talk to you about your shit personality!”

“This…”

The senators’ faces were distressed, and they couldn’t say anything. In fact, the reason why they could hold their heads high and stand on an equal footing wasn’t because how strong a mage was, but because of their strength. Controlling a big killer, magic power, and countless ancient treasure-level big killers was enough to make all mage awe!

Their individual strength, not to mention the Ten Wizard Saints, they couldn’t even beat the mages of the general guild…

As for the crusade against Zeref’s demons? Let them go now…

But the truth is the truth. In terms of face, this group of council still can’t let it go so easily.

As a result, Yajima and a member of the council confronted each other directly, and no one was willing to take a step back!

“Haha, what are you all doing? Everyone is an old man in the magic world, and they are all role models for young people! Why are you so competitive!”

“How about this! Let’s take a step back from each other. Mr. Yajima and everyone sitting here, don’t worry about character and strength! Ten Wizard Saints is a role model for countless mages in the magic world. A talent with both character and strength…”

At the moment when countless councilors were silent, Torch Endeavor, an outlier among the senators of the Magic Council, spoke.
