After ntally preparing himself, Drake finally led his group into the villa with its unique aesthetic.
However, the mont they stepped inside, Drake’s carefully constructed ntal fortitude crumbled.
They were at the Blue Pegasus guild master’s villa, and naturally, Blue Pegasus mages were there to greet them.
Drake wasn’t sure what Blue Pegasus’s atmosphere was like, but seeing the three "pretty boys" before him, he couldn’t help but feel like he’d stumbled into a high-class gentlen’s club.
It was clear that Guild Master Bob had successfully "trained" his guild mbers. These three even had their own flamboyant nicknas.
Trin’s was a three-person mage team, whose mbers were frequent subjects of wizard magazines.
"Hundred Night Hibiki" Hibiki Lates, "Holy Night Eve" Eve Tearm, and "Silent Night Ren" Ren Akatsuki were the three mages Blue Pegasus had sent to participate in the joint extermination operation.
However, the mont these three appeared, they imdiately began showering Erza and Lucy with attention, leaving Drake utterly speechless.
While their behavior was sowhat unsettling, Drake could sense that the three mages possessed considerable magical power. It was no wonder Blue Pegasus had chosen to send them.
Then, as Erza’s ominous premonition ca to pass, the leader of the Blue Pegasus contingent finally made his entrance.
Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki, the leader of the Trin’s team.
Blue Pegasus was known for recruiting handso n and beautiful won, but Ichiya was a clear exception to this rule.
His appearance was as "unspeakable" as Blue Pegasus’s overall style.
"Erza, you truly are as fragrant as ever!"
As Ichiya approached Erza, sniffing the air, Drake witnessed Erza display a look of utter bewildernt for the first ti.
Drake sighed. "Let’s put a stop to the jokes, shall we? We’re not here for a social gathering."
Ichiya, spinning around like a dancer, declared, "We’re more than enough for this mission. Everyone except Erza and Miss Lucy, please feel free to return to your respective guilds."
"Exactly! Exactly!"
The three other mages echoed Ichiya’s words, prompting Natsu and Gray to imdiately roll up their sleeves, prepared for a brawl.
Drake restrained the two. "Is this Blue Pegasus’s attitude towards a joint operation?"
Despite preventing Natsu and Gray from engaging in fisticuffs, Drake released his own magical aura towards the Blue Pegasus contingent.
The effect was imdiate and palpable. Not only did the Blue Pegasus mages fall silent, but even Natsu, who had just monts before been clamoring for a fight, instantly quieted down.
The sheer magnitude of the magical power emanating from Drake exerted imnse pressure on everyone present.
Ichiya and his team forgot their playful antics; the sheer weight of Drake’s magical power left them feeling as if they were suffocating.
While this was a joint operation, they were all representing their respective guilds; Drake couldn’t afford to let Fairy Tail lose face, so he adopted a strong and assertive stance when necessary.
Just then, a voice echoed from the entrance.
"We will be fighting together in the coming battles, so Mr. Drake, I implore you to exercise a degree of patience."
Drake turned his head and looked towards the entrance, from which three individuals were entering.
The group consisted of two n and one woman. The man and woman at the rear were Lyon and Sherry, both of whom had been present on Galuna Island.
After Lyon had been defeated by Gray, he had heeded Gray’s advice to join another guild, and he had ultimately chosen Sabertooth. Sherry, his forr subordinate, had followed him into the guild.
Sabertooth was one of the top guilds in the land, possessing considerable strength. And the leader of their contingent, in addition to Lyon and Sherry, was soone truly exceptional.
"Jura Neekis." Drake withdrew his magical aura, calmly stating the na of the newcor.
Natsu scratched his head, his expression a mixture of confusion and curiosity. "Jura... what? Who is that? Is he soone famous?"
Drake sighed. "You really should make an effort to familiarize yourself with so of the basics, you know! That man is one of the Ten Wizard Saints, just like our guild master."
Jura was bald, his simple attire barely concealing his incredibly muscular physique; his imnse strength was imdiately apparent.
Gray stepped forward to greet Lyon, while Drake and Jura began to assess each other.
Jura spoke politely, "Master Makarov is a senior figure to ; I am still far from reaching his level. Furthermore, the title of Ten Wizard Saint is rely a designation. Judging from the magical aura you just released, Mr. Drake, your strength has already surpassed that of a Ten Wizard Saint."
Before setting out on this mission, Jura had been specifically warned by the master of Sabertooth that Drake of Fairy Tail was the individual to watch out for during this joint operation.
Jura himself had also heard many things about Drake.
It was said that Drake had single-handedly defeated Jose, the master of the Phantom Lord guild (who was also a Ten Wizard Saint), during the war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord.
Jura, in fact, might owe his own selection as a Ten Wizard Saint to Drake’s defeat of Jose.
As Drake had stated, not all Ten Wizard Saints were created equal. In Drake’s estimation, Jura was rely there to make up the numbers; his inclusion in the team was likely a strategic move by the Magic Council to ensure a balance of power.
However, it was undeniable that Jura did possess considerable strength. Having such a reliable ally in this joint operation was certainly a positive developnt.
Jura surveyed the situation, then spoke, "It appears that three of the four guilds have now arrived. All that remains is the contingent from rmaid Heel."
Ichiya interjected, "Oh, really? I heard that rmaid Heel has only sent a single individual to participate in this mission."
"Only one person for such a dangerous mission? That must an that person is incredibly powerful!" Lucy exclaid, her imagination already conjuring up a terrifying image of a monstrous individual with sharp fangs and a nacing countenance.
At that very mont, a figure ca rushing into the room; before she could even reach the center of the room, she tripped and fell flat on her face.
Drake sighed, walked over to the fallen figure, and extended a hand to help her up. "Still as clumsy as ever, I see. Did you hurt yourself?"
The young woman—or rather, young girl—lifted her head, her eyes widening in surprise as she saw Drake’s face. She then took Drake’s hand and stood up.
"Th-thank you! I’m Wendy Marvell from rmaid Heel. I apologize for my tardiness."
"A girl!"
"A child?!"
"Wendy?"
The other mbers of the team expressed their astonishnt that rmaid Heel had sent such a young girl for such a dangerous mission, although Natsu seed to find the na Wendy sowhat familiar.
Drake sighed inwardly; it seed that not only Gajeel, but Wendy had also lost her mories.
While the situation was sowhat lancholic for Drake, the prospect of reuniting with his younger sister was a cause for genuine joy.
Just as everyone was expressing their doubts about Wendy’s capabilities, the white cat accompanying her stepped forward.
Carla, an exceed similar to Happy, possessed the unique ability of precognition. Her relationship with Wendy was much the sa as Happy’s relationship with Natsu; they were a close-knit team.
It seed that Dragon Slayers had a penchant for keeping cats as companions; Drake wondered if he should perhaps seek out an exceed to serve as his own partner.
As Drake’s thoughts drifted, and Happy, the ever-affectionate cat, showered Carla with attention, Ichiya suddenly announced his need to use the restroom.
It was rather inconvenient, considering that they were just about to discuss the operational plan for their mission. Ichiya’s actions were nothing short of infuriating.
However, when Ichiya reappeared, Drake imdiately sensed sothing was amiss.
Approaching Ichiya and placing a hand on his shoulder, Drake stated, "If you hadn’t previously encountered Loki... or rather, Leo, as you all know him... then I might have actually fallen for your ruse! The ability to perfectly transform into another person... you’re the Gemini Celestial Spirit, aren’t you?"
The other mbers of the team had been initially puzzled by Drake’s actions, but upon observing the expression on the face of the individual posing as Ichiya, they instantly beca wary.
At that precise mont, a woman’s voice echoed from the entrance.
"You’ve managed to see through my disguise. That is correct; they are indeed the Gemini Celestial Spirit with whom I have ford a contract."
Amidst a swirling cloud of white mist, the individual posing as Ichiya transford into a pair of small, blue dolls, and a woman, clad in revealing attire, stepped into the room.
Hibiki exclaid loudly, "You’re Angel from Oracion Seis! What have you done to Master Ichiya?!"
The newcor was clearly an enemy, and one of the targets of their extermination mission.
Drake stated calmly, "Since you’ve already attacked Ichiya, I suspect that our operational plan has already been compromised.
In that case, let the battle comnce! In the end, we’ll be defeating each of you one by one anyway."
"It’s about ti! I’m fired up!"
Natsu bellowed, his fists ablaze with magical flas as he charged forward!
The roof of the villa shattered with a resounding crash, and several figures descended from the sky above.
Drake smiled, a glint of amusent in his eyes. "It seems we needn’t expend any effort in searching for our targets; they’ve co to us of their own accord!"
