Fighting through pirates with Fairy Tail

Chapter 46 Volod: Could it be that Id and Gildarts have surpassed me?

"alright."

"If you have any questions about the 'demonic path,' feel free to ask me."

With one hand on his cane and the other behind his back, Warlord, with the air of a reclusive sage, smiled and spoke to Id, Uru, and Gildarts.

"We do have many questions for you."

"However, before you instruct us, please allow us to complete the unfinished S-rank mage assessment first."

Idris then made the suggestion.

"really."

Uru chimed in from the side.

"I haven't had enough fun yet."

Gildarts stretched his limbs, eager to try.

"what?"

"Wasn't the S-rank Archmage assessment already over?"

"I remember just now, I informed Makarov that there can be two qualified candidates for this year's S-class mage exam."

Volod paused for a moment, then instinctively glanced at Makarov beside him, his eyes seeming to ask the old man:

What exactly happened?

Why hasn't the S-rank Archmage assessment ended?

Didn't you tell these children what I said?

"this."

Old Ma was also very troubled at the moment, as he found it difficult to explain the current situation to Warlord.

Hmm, is Old Ma going to say to Warlord, "Lord Warlord, I'm so sorry, my kids don't care about the S-rank mage exam at all; they just enjoy the thrill of battle!"

That seems impossible from any perspective, doesn't it?

"Kildarts!!"

"Ido!!"

"Uru!!"

Just as Old Ma remained silent and Warlord was confused about the current situation, Id, Uru, and Gildarts had already started fighting each other.

"boom!"

In an instant, violent magical power erupted from Ido, Uru, and Gildarts like a pillar of light, shooting straight into the sky! It then stirred up a cloud of dust on the ground, and countless trees were uprooted and sent flying into the sky.

"..."

Looking at the trees he had painstakingly planted, Volod remained silent for a while after running away from home. Then, he turned to Makarov beside him and asked, "Well, I think I should take back my joke. I guess I should just kick all three of them out of the guild."

"Please don't joke around."

Makarov was under increasing pressure. He really couldn't figure out which of Volod's words were jokes and which weren't.

"Smash it!"

"Ice-inspired Design: An Endless Rose Garden!"

"Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: The Final Ice Prison!"

On the other side, Gildarts, Ur and Ido were already locked in battle. Regardless of their relationship, once the fight started, they showed no intention of holding back and went all out from the very beginning.

Therefore, as the only mage among the three present who had not yet entered the 'non-human realm', Uru was the first contestant to be eliminated.

"I've already done my best."

With her magic nearly exhausted, Uru knelt on one knee on the sand, looked at Ido and Gildarts who were still fighting, and shook her head, saying, "It seems I still have a long way to go."

Thinking this, Uru got up from the sand and went to where Makarov and Volod were. She shook her head and said, "I'm really sorry that I couldn't let the Chairman and Senior Volod see my better performance."

"Well."

After hearing what Uru said, Warlord opened his mouth slightly, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but no sound came out.

"As expected, Lord Warlord has been disappointed."

"It seems I need to cultivate even harder and step into the 'non-human' realm as soon as possible."

Looking at the silent Warold, Uru kept encouraging herself.

However, what Uru didn't know was that Warold wasn't just disappointed, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Warlord was inwardly horrified, thinking, "Are you kidding me?! Could it be that Id and Gildarts are stronger than me? How old are they anyway?"

"And this Uru, although his magic power is far inferior to mine, his combat awareness and skills are no less than mine."

"Once Uru overcomes his weakness in magic, he'll instantly surpass me in combat power, right?!"

"Is there anything else I can do to guide these children?"

Warlord's hand holding the cane was trembling slightly. He genuinely believed that the strength of the young people these days was truly terrifying.

"boom."

Just as Warlord was shocked by the strength of Ido, Uru, and Gildarts, a thunderous roar like an earthquake finally broke out between Ido and Gildarts.

The victor was Ido, who disregarded martial ethics in this battle, used Haki and swordsmanship, and leveraged the cruise ability of Life Return to defeat Gildarts.

"Huff, huff, huff."

Id, panting heavily, stood in the desert, looking at the fallen Gildarts, and laughed, "We won."

"I'm sorry I couldn't get Lord Ido to use his full strength."

Gildarts collapsed to the ground, also panting heavily.

"In that case, I have passed this year's S-rank Archmage assessment."

Id helped Gildas up from the sand and walked over to Old Ma, Warold, and Uru, smiling as he spoke.

"Well."

Are you still struggling with the S-rank Archmage exam?

Makarov stared at the endless ruins before him, speechless.

In short, Old Ma felt incredibly fortunate that he hadn't chosen Magnolia Town or Fairy Tail's sacred ground, Tenrou Island, as the location for the S-class mage assessment.

"Old Man Warlord."

"Now you can guide us on the path of demonic arts."

After a passionate brawl between Id and Gildarts, they approached Warlord and respectfully inquired.

"I have nothing more to teach you two."

Warlord first silently shook his head at Id and Gildarts, then looked at Uru beside him and said, "Uru, if you have any magical problems in the future, you can come here to find me. As for the rest of you, you can all leave."

After speaking, Warlord leaned on his cane and walked towards the messy woods. Whether it was Id, Gildarts and the others' imagination or not, they felt that Warlord's back seemed to carry an indescribable sense of vicissitude at that moment.

"Let's go back to the guild first."

Makarov seemed to sense the confusion of Id, Gildarts, and the others. He silently shook his head, thinking to himself:

"You little devils really have no concept of your own strength. You've already surpassed Senior Warlord!"

Of course, to save face for Volod, Makarov wouldn't simply say he would come.

So, Makarov drove his magical four-wheel drive vehicle, carrying Ido and the others, towards Fairy Tail.

As a result, Makarov, after driving halfway, suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten Ivan again.
