The next day, everything returned to peace as the name of Fairy Tail once again echoed to the world.
Kira and his group were able to stop Eisenwald from hijacking the train, protecting all the passengers of the train and stopping their plan to play the Lullaby, the evil-cursed flute that would kill those who heard its voice, killing all the guild masters of the legal guilds that participated.
At the same time, since Kira was the one who handled it, the damage from the fight was almost non-existent as he was fighting smartly instead of brutally, without caring about anything.
Regardless, due to Kira, the reputation of Fairy Tail became even higher, which made everyone feel happy!
Yes, a reputation might not be able to fill their stomachs, but as their reputation grew, the quests they received would also grow, and this feat of theirs clearly put their guild further as the number one guild on this continent!
At the same time, Kira's fame also grew as no one on this continent probably knew him, especially when his photo wearing the Astral Dress, which is a combination of Virgo and Leo, appeared in the newspaper.
It could be said that his fame grew so fast that it was comparable to all the famous mages on the Fairy Tail, such as Erza, Mirajane, and many strong mages of the Fairy Tail that hadn't appeared in this story.
It was probably only a matter of time before Kira became the new S-Rank Mage of Fairy Tail.
"Bwahahahahaha!"
Naturally, Makarov, who was the leader of the Fairy Tail, became very happy, especially after Kira joined. Everything moved in the right direction, and he also had no need to pay for all the damages from all the destruction that was caused by the mages of Fairy Tail. Moreover, they also got a lot of money from the company that managed the train station, and also a bounty for taking down all the members of the Eisenwald.
Those numbers... Makarov felt happy as it had been a while since he had gotten so much money, especially after he had to pay off many debts caused by his family members!
Still, fortunately, he was a good guy, and he thought he would share them with everyone who participated in taking the Eisenwald and Lullaby.
At the same time, Makarov wasn't greedy of those money, especially when the company that managed the railways and also the Onibus Town, which was almost devastated due to the Eisenwald, decided to hire the Fairy Tail as guards and also mages to protect, especially during a crisis, which happened due to the Dark Guild and something similar!
Makarov might appear unrelatable most of the time, but during this moment, he was still a guild master who was trusted by everyone.
Nevertheless, Makarov was glad that Kira had joined Fairy Tail!
Yet, unexpectedly, the one who was happy wasn't only Makarov and most members of the Fairy Tail, but also the leaders of the Magic Council!
"Hmm... this new member brought a good influence to Fairy Tail."
"Hopefully, this trend will continue."
"Yes, it's good that they can become a proper legal guild."
At the headquarters of the Magic Council of Ishtar in the Era City, all the leaders of the Magic Council sighed in relief when they saw how well Fairy Tail handled the Eisenwald incident and the Lullaby.
In the original story, the Magic Council might appear to hate the Fairy Tail, yet it was because they often messed around and caused much destruction that made them complain about by the nobles, wealthy merchants, and many influential people in this country.
However, with Kira, who made Fairy Tail more peaceful, they sighed in relief as it was something that they wished to see.
No matter how strong the mages were, they were still the minority, and facing the number of humans on this continent, naturally, they had the disadvantages.
Moreover, unlike in the past where a beast like a dragon existed and destroyed mankind, which caused the power of the mages to be needed, in the current era, most of the problems were caused by the mages, which made the reputation of the mages in the eyes of the public was about fifty-fifty.
Some said that the existence of mages was needed, yet many hated them, especially when many harmful and evil mages, who were part of the Dark Guild or individuals, existed in this world.
People feared those whom they didn't know, and because of that, they would naturally reject them, including the mages, who were a power that the majority didn't understand.
Many evil mages were born because they were rejected and even threatened by their environment, and because of that, they desired to have revenge on those people who had messed up their lives!
This was also the reason why the numbers of the Dark Guild would never be reduced, and it also became the source of the Magic Council, which had been troubled by many criminal acts caused by mages.
So, if Fairy Tail could become a proper legal guild that had a good reputation in the Kingdom of Fiore and even the continent, sought after by many, and also improve the image of the mages to the world, then the Magic Council would be happy for them!
Originally, if there was a reason why the majority of the leaders of the Magic Council hated the Fairy Tail, it was because the Fairy Tail often caused trouble and brought down the reputation of the mages on the continent due to their destructive nature.
However, with Kira at the helm and as the mascot, everyone moved in a good direction for Fairy Tail!
Yet—
"Don't praise them too much. He might appear good to the public, but we know well that he is a greedy mage who will do anything for money and reputation."
One among them, a young man with blue hair, appeared so different from the rest of them. They were old and couldn't help but remind them that Kira didn't appear as the public saw her. Instead, he knew well that compared to most mages, Kira was greedy for money, and he would do anything for it as he used trickery to take down Everlue, an evil, corrupt politician with absolute control over the Shirotsume Town.
Yes, Everlue might be evil, yet even so, Kira's method to gain what Everlue gained was also dirty!
More importantly, all the mages of the Eisenwald Guild also said that Kira was so dirty!
Facing such a mage, how could they praise Kira so much?
However, the young man's words caused a frown to form on a few and even made them angry.
"What's wrong with being greedy for money?! It's better than being a criminal!"
"It's good that he is greedy for money! That way, we know that we know how to control him!"
"There is nothing wrong with loving money since it means that he won't waste his reputation to become a criminal that can only get pennies!"
The majority of the leaders of the Magic Council were corrupt, and they had used their influence to get more money from others to live a better life!
If they disdained Kira due to his love for money, what would they be?
Instead, it was because they knew that despite Kira's perfect image, his greed for money, which made him imperfect, reassured them as they knew his weakness. It was because he loved money that he would be good, maintain a better relationship with everyone, and always be on the side of the light instead of the evil!
At the same time, toward such a person, few of them also understood that it was better to keep him on the side of the legal than on the illegal, as no one knew what would happen if they tried to make Kira into an enemy.
This was also the reason why they always kept Fairy Tail's status as a legal guild despite how many troubles they had caused!
There was nothing wrong with loving money; instead, they even reassured that Kira loved money.
Naturally, the reaction of the majority made the young man unhappy, but when he was about to say something, a young woman who sat next to him couldn't help but say with a smirk, "Don't get jealous, Siegrain. Just because he is close to your crush, you shouldn't target him."
"Oh?"
When everyone heard the young woman's words, all of them couldn't help but look at Siegrain, the youngest member of the leaders of the Magic Council, with a snicker and laugh.
Who was Siegrain's crush?
If they had read the newspaper, they would have been able to see the intimate photo between Kira and Erza.
In the newspaper, a photo of Kira appeared to have been taken by Erza, and the news spread throughout the country. Many said they suited each other, and even a gossiper said he might be Erza Scarlet's boyfriend.
"Siegrain, I know that you are jealous of him, having your crush taken by him, but you shouldn't involve your feelings in our work! We've been chosen among many to manage the mages in this country and the continent! You shouldn't let your emotions take control of you!"
"She isn't my crush!"
"Yes, yes. She isn't your crush. You love her a lot, right?"
"..." Siegrain.
"You bastard!"
"Enough! There are many problems that we have to face every day! There is no need to waste our time on this silly problem!"
"Silly..." Siegrain's expression was ugly, but he knew that the chairman was on the side of the older generations, who had mocked him previously.
While all of them were members of the Magic Council, it didn't mean that their relationship was all good, and naturally, the elderly felt unhappy and jealous of Siegrain, who was young, so when they saw a chance, they couldn't help but teach this guy a lesson!
Regardless, Kira had helped them with the Eisenwald incident and the Lullaby, which was part of their blunder, and Kira's news was able to suppress their mistake, so of course, they would help Kira.
"You will regret your decision."
When they heard Siegrain's words, those who had belittled Siegrain only snorted, and the rest remained in silence, as in their minds, they had confirmed that Siegrain felt jealous of Kira, who dated Erza.
Yet, this was the truth, but Siegrain wouldn't admit it as he kept thinking of Erza's figure and expression that appeared to be so cornered by Kira.
Still, Kira knew nothing that he had been targeted; instead, he was looking at his epithet with a helpless sigh, thinking that it was too cliche.
The Seraph.
Kira Olam.
