Façade | Jerza

6 | Magic Council

Fairy Tail had outdone themselves this time. And not because Natsu was the one responsible for the destruction. But because Erza destroyed the Ryushika Train Station and parts of the railway. Most of the fighting was Natsu's fault, but he wasn't the one blamed today.

"The Eisenwald guild may have been defeated, but that's only one small victory and a much larger battle." Said Org.

"The number of dark guilds have been increasing, we have to come up with a plan to stop them." Michello declared.

"But how would we do that?"

"However it's done we cannot allow Zeref's magic fall into the wrong hands." Org held out the flute for Lullaby, which could've killed many people had Fairy Tail not stopped them.

Jellal needed to find a way to divert the attention from Fairy Tail, "Although they're usually causing destruction, it seems Fairy Tail was able to prevent further chaos by saving them."

Belno shook her head, "I still don't like them."

Jellal knew the old people wouldn't fare well with Fairy Tail. "You may not want to accept it, but that's the reality of the situation. In the end, the attack on the guild masters was prevented, lives were spared, and, none of us had to give up our hard earned positions on this council to save face."

Michello gasped, "You fool! Are you insinuating Eisenwald would've actually killed us?"

Jellal looked at him amusingly. The geezers thought they were untouchable. "Not even that. If they killed the guild masters, what kind of impression would the mages and people have upon us? They'd take us for cowards, we'd be known as the council who sat still and watched the destruction."

"I have to agree with you Jellal, but Fairy Tail unnecessarily destroyed things, a few places weren't even related to Clover." Belno countered, "Additionally, the person who did all the damage was none other than Fairy Tail's most disciplined."

What? Erza did all that damage?

"Then why don't we reiterate the Magic Council's power loud and clear for the other guilds as well? We'll settle this peacefully and simply discuss the matter with Fairy Tail." suggested Jellal.

"They're actually going through with this?" Lucy squeezed through all the people that came to watch Natsu and Erza fight.

"Oh hey Lucy," Mirajane waved.

Lucy gasped, "Don't you realize this can tear our strongest team apart?" Lucy asked Gray, who didn't catch on to what she was talking about.

"The strongest team?"

"You, Natsu, and Erza ya dummy!"

Gray laughed momentarily, "Yeah, which idiot fed you that line?"

Mirajane smiled for a bit and then broke down into tears. The ice wizard backed away slowly as if Mirajane were about to harm him. "You- you're not an idiot Mira."

"Smooth move, Gray," chimed Lucy.

"I'll hand it those two they're pretty tough, but there are guys in Fairy Tail stronger than both of them. Like this guy!" Elfman exclaimed, pointing to himself.

"But calling Erza the strongest woman in the guild is a pretty safe bet," Levy admitted.

"As far for the boys it's a tough call, but I'd put my money on Jellal or Laxus, and maybe even Mystogan." Jet listed three candidates, much to Lucy's surprise.

"What do you mean? Jellal's a Wizard Saint, he's even stronger than Master!" Lucy said as if she stated the obvious.

"Power isn't the only thing that determines a Wizard Saint," Mira corrected after recovering from her breakdown. "The council must put their trust in a Wizard Saint, they must be knowledgeable about magic. Versatility in spells is big too. But Jellal had an advantage since he became a council member. He's probably the most intelligent out of all the Wizard Saints."
