Chapter 155 Laxus Appears, Civil War Imminent!
When the song ended, Mira stood up and gave a slight bow to everyone.
A cheer erupted from the crowd, and countless people waved glow sticks that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, clamoring for an encore.
Just as Lucy and the others were still enjoying Mira's gentle and beautiful singing, the dim guild lights flickered again.
The curtain rose, and Gajeel, dressed in a white suit, replaced Mira, crossing his legs arrogantly and wildly.
"You bastards are in luck! This is my own original piece, called 'Graffiti Carnival'!"
Before anyone could react, Gajeel picked up the electric guitar he was holding and began to sing.
"So colorful, so colorful!"
"This melody of love~ is made of hard steel~ Oh yeah~"
The stiff, jarring beats, coupled with the rough, loud voices, brought an unbearable mental pollution to the audience.
If Mira's singing is a heavenly sound that can soothe the soul, then Gajeel's is a demonic whisper from hell—no, a demonic scream!
"What a lousy song! It's awful! Get the hell off here right now!"
"Who wants to listen to that garbage? You don't actually think that putting on a respectable white suit and black sunglasses will make you more attractive, do you? Even a dog barking in the morning sounds better than you!"
"Get down! Get down!!"
Feeling their ears were being severely violated, the crowd couldn't help but curse and showed no respect for the "newcomer," hurling rotten eggs, smelly socks, and slippers at Gajeel.
"Manly! This music has such a strong heavy metal vibe!"
"Go for it, Gajeel! You can do it!"
"Not bad, as a backdrop to highlight Mira."
A few people also gave their approval and cheered over there.
However, apart from Juvia, who genuinely cheered Gajeel on, most of the others were just there to watch the drama unfold.
"Metal Frenzy~ Salala~ Thanks to my brother for the mop~"
Gajeel is incredibly shameless in this regard, thoroughly enjoying himself and becoming increasingly unrestrained as he sings.
"They even seamlessly integrated the acknowledgments into the performance!"
Even though she was completely bewildered and her head was spinning, the dedicated Lucy still blurted out, "Should I say he actually has musical talent?"
"By the way, throwing the mop was a way of telling you to step down quickly, right?"
Natsu, sitting next to him, couldn't take it anymore and covered his ears, yelling, "Shut up, you bastard! I've never heard such awful music before!!"
Thump!
No sooner had he finished speaking than the demon's eerie scream stopped abruptly, and an electric guitar flew straight at him, hitting Natsu squarely in the face.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh?!!"
Gajeel's mouth was stuffed with a jumble of piano keys as he glared angrily.
I don't care what others say, but I can't stand the Fire Dragon!
Natsu looked annoyed and jumped up to take Gajeel off the stage.
Gajeel had the same idea. The two, who had long disliked each other, jumped up at the same time and kicked each other heavily in mid-air.
"Want to fight, you bastard!"
"I'm having a graffiti party, what do you know, you simple-minded idiot!"
"Even the old man who collects junk in the city has a better voice than you!"
Amidst shouts of anger, Natsu and Gajeel predictably began to fight each other.
"Hey, you guys, can you be a little more mature!" Gray put down his wine glass, stood up and shouted. Due to the large movement, his elbow accidentally bumped into the plate next to him.
thump.
The strawberry cake inside fell to the ground with a thud.
"Huh?" Erza stared longingly at the deformed strawberry cake.
She shakily reached out towards the cake that could still be salvaged, and then, in the next second, the wooden clogs ruthlessly stomped down, crushing the strawberry cake to dust.
"Men! Stop fighting!"
Elfman, having taken that first step, was completely unaware that his death was imminent.
"This is so annoying!!"
Erza, enraged, transformed into a demon and punched him, sending him flying more than ten meters, affecting countless onlookers.
This completely caused an uproar. The hot-tempered Fairy Tail characters couldn't stand this undeserved disaster and immediately started casting magic circles to retaliate, targeting their "enemies" whom they usually disliked.
Boom! Bang! Bang!
Thus, the rare relaxing concert devolved into a much-anticipated brawl involving multiple people, with tables, chairs, and pots flying everywhere, creating utter chaos.
"This is a completely unexpected development—"
"Love~!"
Lucy and Happy crouched behind the bar, hugging their knees, away from the chaotic battle.
The guild newbies who used to be easily dragged into things are now experienced "veterans"!
"Haha, this is really lively! Let me add some excitement to your scene!"
Hearing the sound, Lucy looked up sharply and immediately saw Chase, the dark magic girl, the elven swordsman, and others.
He stood in the center of the stage with a full set of rock instruments.
"Wait, wait, Chesgo, playing that piece at a time like this will cause a huge problem!"
Lucy gasped, instinctively recalling the performance that night.
The exhilarating music even affected her uncontrollably, giving her the illusion that she could defeat any enemy, no matter how strong.
If these hot-tempered troublemakers in front of us heard this, what would happen?!
"Don't worry, Lucy, with the president around, they definitely won't go too far," Happy whispered.
"That's true—"
Lucy belatedly nodded, and when she noticed something odd about Happy's voice, she turned to look at him and was immediately shocked, making a meme-worthy expression.
Suddenly, the dead cat that was supposed to be huddled in the corner of the bar with me has slipped away to a more distant area and is now standing by the lobby window, looking ready to run away at any moment!
"Your words and actions don't match at all! How dare you ask me to trust you?!"
Just to be on the safe side, Lucy decisively retreated from her current position and ran over to hug Happy tightly in her broad arms.
If I'm going to die, I'll take this ungrateful dead cat with me!
As she ran, Chase and the card monsters, who had made a grand entrance, began a symphony of drumming and banging!
The moment the intro began, it swept through the entire guild like a storm, assaulting the nerves of the Fairy Tail members who were engaged in a brawl.
Everyone was drawn in by the exhilarating rhythm, their blood boiling violently, as if awakening some indescribable resonance, and power gushing forth continuously.
"Wow, what amazing music! My magic has reached its peak!"
"This is a feeling I've never experienced before. Is this the power of music?!"
"What a man! As expected of Chase, even his playing exudes such masculinity!"
"Hey! All of you come at me together, I want to take on ten of them!!"
Even Makarov, on whom Lucy had placed high hopes, raised his arms and shouted, "Whoa whoa whoa! I'm fired up!!"
"President, calm down!!" Lucy was terrified.
"Oh dear, I suddenly have this urge to fight~"
"Wait, how come even Mira has received the soul of Satan?!"
"Hahaha! Take this, Chess! I'm incredibly strong now!"
"Natsu, stop! Chess, wait, no—"
Lucy's eyes darted around, and thinking that Natsu, the most troublesome one, would be dealt with in a flash, she immediately cheered, "Natsu, go!"
"Lucy is indeed quite cunning." Happy's head barely peeked out from the depths of the trench.
Boom!!
To the classic background music of Fairy Tail, everyone is fighting, and the sound of explosions echoes throughout the street.
The newly established guild, in a personified manner, jumped up and down, then lay shivering by the lake.
The commotion attracted many Magnolia residents to stop and watch.
Engrossed in discussing what Fairy Tail was up to this time, they failed to notice a blond-haired man standing behind them, wearing a coat, spiked headphones, and with an extremely gloomy expression...
Guild Hall.
Makarov was the first to calm down. Noticing something was off about Chase's music, he stepped in to stop the commotion.
The new guild thus escaped disaster, avoiding the tragic fate of having to be rebuilt right after completion.
Even so, the group was still immersed in the exhilarating state they had just experienced, and they asked Chess to do it again, solemnly promising that they would not fight again.
The speed-slaying Dragon Slayer Mage Tsuchiya, who had been knocked down with a single punch, lay on the ground with a look of delight: This is just right! This is the kind of atmosphere a guild should have!
Chess readily agreed and provided the sheet music, inviting Mira to accompany him.
Although it had a bit of a prank element, as Makarov realized, the background music just now wasn't just a rehearsal for the magical parade.
Vidarudas encountered the Three Crows, Chess witnessed musical magic, and sought out a dark mage to understand the principles of this magic.
Although I'm not very skilled at it yet, judging from actual performance, adding magic can indeed have an inspiring and uplifting effect.
If we can delve deeper into the research and discover even stronger applications, maybe in the future we can actually carry a speaker and lead the Fairy Tail team into battle!
After all, there will be quite a few large-scale team battles in the future. Of course, this is just Chase's initial idea, which he can think about when he has nothing else to do.
For now, the priority should be improving one's own strength.
And right now, the opportunity to get a high card value is just around the corner!
As Mira began playing rock music without magic, Chase's gaze swept across the guild and out onto the street.
Back in Magnolia, Laxus must be preparing to start a civil war, right?
Finally, I can.
Give this annoying, rebellious brat a good beating!
Even after the song ended, everyone was still full of enthusiasm, clamoring to do it a million more times.
This time, Chase didn't tolerate these people. He put the card monsters back into his deck and walked off the stage.
The troublemakers were indignant, but no one dared to force Chess to continue—doing so would only result in a beating, just like what happened to Natsu.
The dark magician girl seized this precious opportunity to stay, affectionately clinging to Mira's arm, wanting her to show her around the new guild.
Mira had no reason to refuse and nodded with a smile.
The two beautiful girls left the hall hand in hand.
"Grey, you probably don't know this yet, but your master, Uru, came to the guild to see you yesterday."
Chase sat down opposite Gray.
"Uru? She's back?" Gray seemed somewhat surprised.
Although he had already mentioned it on Karuna Island, he really didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Upon hearing the news about Uru, Lucy, Erza, Happy, and Natsu all curiously gathered around.
Erza, in particular, who had not experienced the Deliora incident, was very interested in the master Gray mentioned.
Chess coughed lightly and briefly recounted what had happened yesterday.
"What?! Uru is now the guild master of Saberbite?!" Gray stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Swordbite Tiger? Roar—that name sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?" Natsu tilted his head, his brows furrowed, deep in thought.
Being rather oblivious, he had long forgotten about the sword-biting tiger.
"It's the guild that colluded with the Phantom Lords before, trying to launch an attack on us!" Lucy was speechless at his forgetfulness.
"Oh! That muscular guy who got knocked down by the president with one punch!" Natsu clapped his hands, suddenly realizing.
Lucy: "Your way of remembering people is really impolite—"
"According to the Council's investigation, it appears to be Germain's personal act, and even the Sabertooth members were unaware of it."
Erza rested her chin on her hand, pondering, "Since both Chess and the guild master recommend it so much, that guild must be a pretty good place to go."
"It's decided! Let's go there and have some fun!" Natsu surprised everyone by getting up to leave.
He truly lives up to his reputation as a spontaneous and decisive person.
Lucy reached out and grabbed his armband: "No matter what, there's no need to be in such a hurry. We just got back!"
"Idiot, Uru has just taken over Sabertooth and must have a lot of things to do. Going there now will only cause her trouble."
Gray, who most wanted to see Ul, remained surprisingly calm, explaining while also taking a jab at Natsu.
"Perverted Ice Man! What did you say?!" Natsu turned around, his eyes wide with anger.
"You're an idiot," Gray said without hesitation.
The two, who couldn't agree on anything, immediately put their foreheads together.
Chase suddenly had an urge to take the skulls of these two people apart and see if there were two magnets inside, one positive and one negative.
"Sit down. Haven't you had enough of this earlier?" Erza tactically took a sip of tea.
Nazgre calmed down instantly, sat back in his original position at lightning speed, put his hands flat, and straightened his back like a model student.
"But Erza, you and Mira were fighting quite a bit just now too—." Happy muttered to himself.
"Hmm?" Erza's eyes hardened.
"Ah~ Natsu! Gray! You guys are really outrageous!" Happy immediately turned his gun on Natsu.
"What a fickle person!" Lucy seized the opportunity to complain.
Taking advantage of the moment, Chase snatched the fried chicken leg in front of her and said while eating, "Before that, Gray, settle the bill for the meal Uru treated us to."
"What?! Why should I pay for Uru's meal?"
"That's the chicken leg I ordered!!"
Chase ignored Lucy's pitiful pleas, licked his fingers, and looked at Gray: "Because she said you ran to the neighbor's house naked when you were little."
"How much! I'll pay!" Gray interrupted hastily, his face flushed with embarrassment.
If Natsu overheard that, we'd be doomed if we ever argued again!
Under the table, Juvia was fidgeting and squirming, equally anxious.
Mr. Chase, hurry up and tell me!
I really want to know about Lord Gray's childhood!
While the group chatted, Gajeel, who had been approached by Jet and Troy, followed the Cartway Engine Squad to Magnolia's park.
