Chapter 526: Fairy Tail's Chamber of Secrets (Second Update)
Chapter 526: Fairy Tail's Chamber of Secrets (Second Update)
"Guild Master, wait a moment! This is too sudden, and a decision like this can't be made so easily!"
Seeing that Makarov was about to run out of the office, Jerry quickly grabbed the back of his collar from behind, lifting him up and placing him back on the desk.
No way, he had only joined the guild for a month. Handing over the position of guild master to him was way too hasty.
Moreover, he had never wanted to be a guild master. Even though Fairy Tail was the strongest guild in the kingdom, he had never been the type to spend his time building up influence.
External power was always external. Improving his own strength was what truly mattered.
Besides, he had plans to travel to other places when he had the time.
For instance, the famous Magic Development Bureau, which specialized in Magic research, and the Western Continent, the hometown of the gun mage couple, Bisca and Alzack, whom he often heard about.
So, he had absolutely no interest in the position of guild master. What he wanted was Magic.
Seeming to read the lack of interest in Jerry's eyes, Makarov stood on the desk and reached out with his right hand, placing it on Jerry's shoulder with a serious expression.
"Jerry, although you've only been here for a little over a month, you have made many indelible contributions to the guild. You've repaired the buildings that the members destroyed, easing the financial pressure on the guild and the scrutiny from the Council.
If it weren't for you, not only my life, but the entire guild might have been completely destroyed by Jose's scheme.
Therefore, your contributions to the guild are absolutely commendable. I believe that if you become the guild master, you will surely make the guild even better in the future. There's no need to be modest."
"But, Guild Master, I... I actually have no interest in the position of guild master."
Jerry was about to say he wasn't interested, but Makarov, with one eye half-open, cut him off mid-sentence.
"Cough, cough, and as the guild master, you can enter the deepest chamber of the guild's library, the Chamber of Secrets, where you can learn many... super... powerful Magic techniques."
He deliberately emphasized the words "many" and "super."
"Even so, I... I believe that contributing to the guild is my duty as a guild council member.
Since the Guild Master has chosen me, it means you trust me. Disregarding the trust of an elder would be extremely disrespectful.
Rest assured, Guild Master, I will take on this responsibility and make the guild stronger and better."
Jerry, who had been about to refuse, swallowed his words and changed his tone upon hearing Makarov's words.
Being a guild master, after all, wasn't such a big deal.
Most of the guild's affairs were handled by Mirajane, so he wouldn't need to spend much time on them. As for dealing with other guild masters and council members, he had spatial magic, which allowed him to come and go as he pleased, so it wouldn't take up much of his time.
Financial and miscellaneous issues that were troublesome for Makarov were no problem for him.
If anyone dared to challenge the guild, he would deal with them directly.
Upon reflection, the position of guild master wasn't too much trouble.
If he really didn't want to do it anymore, he could simply pass it on to someone else in the guild, just like Makarov did. After all, he would be the guild master then, and he would have the final say.
The main thing was to get those super powerful Magic techniques first.
Makarov had said that he was the weakest of the three guild masters of Fairy Tail.
So, the third-generation guild master’s magic must be truly powerful.
Makarov didn’t expect Jerry to change his stance so quickly and was taken aback when he arrived.
He thought Jerry would at least need some time to consider and agonize over the decision. Makarov had even prepared a lot of persuasive arguments, just like when the second-generation guild master passed the position to him before running away.
"Indeed, you’re still young. I got you with such ease!"
Regaining his composure, Makarov’s face immediately lit up with a smug expression.
He felt that the reason he could secure Jerry so quickly, rather than taking days of persuasion like the second-generation guild master, was that he was wiser and had identified Jerry’s fatal weakness, allowing him to strike with precision and ease.
"Alright, starting today, you’re the designated guild master. You can go with Mirajane to the secret chamber in the library to borrow all the magic books. If you have any questions, come to me. I’m going to have a drink!"
Makarov leaped down, humming a tune, and headed to the bar on the first floor with a very happy heart.
In two more months, he would be able to step down from the guild master position and live a more leisurely life.
"Truly, what you seek comes without effort when you least expect it!"
Watching Makarov’s departing figure, Jerry’s face also broke into a smile.
He had originally thought that if Makarov didn’t agree, he might have to resort to some extreme measures. But to his surprise, the problem was solved without even a mention.
Not only would he learn the super magic, Fairy Law, but he would also have access to all the magic from the third-generation guild master.
"Jerry, the guild master asked me to bring you to the secret chamber in the library. I didn’t expect you and the guild master to finish so quickly in the office. I thought it would take much longer!"
Just as Jerry was pondering what types of magic the other two guild masters might have, the door to the guild master’s office opened again.
This time, it wasn’t Makarov, but Mirajane.
It turned out that Mirajane had already been informed about the successor by Makarov before notifying Jerry to come to the guild.
She just didn’t expect such an important matter to be resolved in less than two minutes.
"Sure, thank you, Miss Mirajane!"
Jerry was a bit taken aback, feeling that Mirajane’s words sounded a little odd, but he didn’t think much of it. He nodded and followed her to the library below the guild.
The second basement level of the Fairy Tail guild was the library, which housed a vast collection of magic books and notes left by former mages.
However, except for a few mages who enjoyed reading, most of Fairy Tail’s mages rarely visited the library. They preferred to go on missions and improve their skills through practical experience.
Since Jerry found out about the library, he had borrowed many magic books from it.
But he didn’t know that within the library, there was a hidden secret chamber that stored powerful magic books left by the guild masters of past generations.
"Here it is. The guild master said you can take these books back to study. If you have any questions, you can go to him, but he asked me to tell you that he doesn’t know most of the magic in these books.
How much you learn will depend on you!"
