Chapter 356: Take it to the skies (Update 1)

The former Fairy Tail Guild was recognized as the strongest magician guild in the kingdom.

But that was once.

Nowadays, except for George, the guild president, all S-class magicians and slightly stronger guild members have disappeared due to the Tianlang Island incident. It is not known when George will be rescued.

If they sign up now, with the strength of the only remaining magicians in their guild, they probably won't even be able to make it into the official competition.

But if you don't participate, the reputation of the guild will plummet, although it is already plummeting now.

"I have been studying the Fairy Ball this time. What is the current situation of the guild?"

George did not answer immediately, but asked a question.

During this period of time, he basically spent his time in seclusion studying the Fairy Ball and the Meteor Star, the ultimate weapon made from the body of the first president. All the trivial matters of the guild were left to Makao, the vice-president.

When Makao heard this, his head suddenly dropped.

"It's very bad, because the guild wizards are not strong enough now, and many difficult tasks cannot be completed. Gradually, the guild's tasks have become less and less.

The guild's tasks have become fewer, and the guild wizards can find fewer suitable tasks and earn less remuneration. Some partners have chosen to leave the guild and join more powerful guilds.

The more magicians in the guild leave, the weaker they become, and there are fewer people to issue tasks. Now a vicious cycle has formed. "

"That's it."

George scratched his cat's whiskers, with no surprise on his face.

Because this was something he expected and he did it deliberately.

In fact, he had previously felt that although Laxus's views were extreme, they were not completely unreasonable.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, and respect for the strong are applicable in any world.

It is difficult for a guild to develop well just by relying on things like bonds and friendship.

You see, the Fairy Tail Guild cares so much about bonds. After the elite magicians disappeared, everyone dispersed. If this continues, they may gradually fall to the bottom of the Kingdom Guild.

Therefore, if you want the Magisters Guild to grow, you still need to recruit as many powerful and potential mages as possible.

But he couldn't directly drive away those weak magicians. This would seem too unkind, go against the old president's ideas, and would make other people feel uncomfortable.

He simply used the excuse of researching the Fairy Ball to save the old guild leader and others to ignore the guild for a while.

Sure enough, those magicians who originally joined the Fairy Tail Guild just for the reputation of being the strongest guild, but were not very strong but had many things to do, left one after another after realizing that the guild was gradually failing.

Although the strength of the remaining group was not that great, at least they had deep enough feelings for the guild and were loyal enough that he could still accept them.

In his opinion, to be a member of the guild, you either have to be strong or you have to be loyal. If you don't have both, what's the use of you?

If it weren't for this purpose, with his strength, he could spend half a day a week and use his teleportation ability to complete all the difficult tasks of the guild.

There is no way the guild would become what it is now.

"Sign up, just in time to win the honor of the strongest magician's guild, let everyone know that even Fairy Tail is still the strongest magician's guild in the kingdom."

As long as we can defeat all the magician guilds in the kingdom this time and become the strongest magician guild in the kingdom in the true sense, then naturally many powerful magicians will join the guild.

In this way, the guild's overall strength can be quickly restored, and the task volume will be restored again due to the reputation of the strongest guild, entering a virtuous cycle.

Then he can be the hands-off shopkeeper again and study magic.

After all, he is also the new president of the guild. If the seal of the Fairy Ball is lifted by then, and Makarov comes back and sees that the guild has become the weakest guild in the kingdom, how can he lose face as the fourth generation president.

"But, President, look here, it says that the President cannot participate in the competition."

Macao warned carefully.

He knew that George was very powerful. He had defeated S-class Laxus in the previous Fairy Tail First Mage Tournament and was the top S-class mage.

However, according to the competition rules given by the Great Demon Director Wu, the guild's principal is not allowed to participate.

You must know that many guild leaders are S-class magicians, and there are even Holy Ten like Makarov and Ghost Guild Master Joseph. If they fight, the entire capital of the kingdom will probably be destroyed.

If George cannot participate, then choosing someone from the remaining guild members of Fairy Tail, the result will still be the same.

"I saw it."

George waved the cat's paw nonchalantly:

"What's so difficult about this? From today on, Makao, you are the fifth generation president of Fairy Tail!"

Since the guild leader cannot participate in the competition, the position of president will be passed on to Makao first. Anyway, the trivial matters outside the guild are handled by Makao now, so there is nothing wrong with saying that he is the president.

After the game is over, Macao will pass the captaincy to him again. This is not a big problem.

As long as the guild wins the competition this time, it will be able to recruit many powerful magicians, and there will be no need to do this again in next year's competition.

If his progress is fast enough, he might have solved the problem of the Fairy Ball in the next year's competition, and when Natsu and the others come back, he won't have to worry about the competition.

"ah???"

Macao was stunned and froze in place, and then relaxed after hearing George's explanation.

"So that's it, it's not a bad idea."

He didn't think George alone could lead Fairy Tail to first place in this competition. After all, although George was an S-class mage, there were many S-class wizards from other guilds.

Moreover, the competition is a group of five people. The other four people may not be of much help and will also hinder George.

But at least it won't be at the bottom, and it should be ranked in the middle or upper half.

Reaching a mid-to-upper ranking is already very good. It lets everyone know that the current strength of the Fairy Tail Guild is not bad, and there will be a lot more tasks for next year.

"Okay, as the new president, you go to the town mayor to sign up on behalf of the guild, and then inform everyone to gather in two hours, and I will select the remaining four places to participate."

After the matter was finalized, George waved his cat's paw to ask Macao to step back, and he continued to enter the magic research he had just interrupted.

He didn't have much idea about the remaining four people participating in the competition. Anyway, they were of little help to him. In the end, he had to bring them to Feiqi by himself.
