"Great, great, this is very lively!"
Although he was internally complaining, Moen showed no intention of backing down.
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. This "Heart of the Devil" dares to cause trouble on "Sirius Island," so let's turn this place into their burial ground!
"Tenrou Island," this is their "Fairy Tail" home turf! They actually rushed here, they really don't understand the situation.
While thinking, Moen turned around and used "teleportation" to find Makarov.
"Grandpa, the devil's heart has arrived."
As soon as he appeared, Moen told Grandpa Makarov the news, which immediately changed Makarov's expression from smiling to serious.
"The heart of a demon?!"
Makarov spoke incredulously, wondering if he had misheard.
"That's right, one of the three giants of the Balam Alliance, the legendary strongest dark guild, is the Heart of the Demon."
Moen nodded, confirming the news once again. This time, Makarov wouldn't have misheard; it was indeed the "Heart of the Devil."
"What happened?"
After his initial surprise, Makarov quickly calmed down, his expression serious, and he frowned as he continued to ask questions.
"I don't know, but they've come with ill intentions."
Moen shook his head. He didn't know why "Devil's Heart" had come, but it certainly wasn't to have tea with "Fairy Tail."
"Then let's cancel the exam and prepare for battle."
Makarov made a decision without any hesitation: since there are enemies, then he would fight them to the bitter end!
Now, this "Tenrou Island" is full of the elites of "Fairy Tail". Although there are some skilled fighters not here, if these people can't handle it, it won't be of any use if others come.
"Okay, I understand."
Moen nodded. His purpose in coming to Makarov was to call off the "S-rank assessment" so that they could focus on dealing with the incoming enemy and not let their own people be depleted first.
These guys from Fairy Tail are unpredictable when they fight. During the assessment, they definitely try their best to go all out, so it's not surprising that they're all covered in injuries afterward. It's fine normally, but it's not so good now.
"Buzz!"
Moen's figure vanished instantly and began to appear in various places on "Sirius Island," notifying all guild members to gather at designated locations.
Actually, they were just gathering on the shore. Apart from Fried, Abagerine, Lucy, and Emerald who had set off first, the others hadn't come ashore yet. Moen only stopped the four who had already arrived on the island, preventing them from going any further into the island.
"Mount, what happened?"
Erza looked puzzled. She, Mirajane, and Gildarts had also been called over and were standing with the four other candidates who were equally puzzled.
"The Devil's Heart will strike in a few hours. Let's postpone the exams for now and have a big battle first."
Faced with the puzzled crowd, Moen spoke up.
"What?!"
Erza, Mirajane, and the others stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in shock, clearly terrified by the news. It was hard not to be shocked; the exam was going on perfectly fine, and suddenly someone attacked, turning the exercise into a real battle!
"This is the current situation. Everyone, please be prepared."
Moen nodded, giving the group time to accept reality. He looked out at the sea; his other companions were on their way.
Seeing so many people gathered on the shore, Gray, Natsu, and the others who arrived later also ran over with curiosity, and were then shocked by the news that "the Devil's Heart is attacking."
"Great! Now we can use the demon's heart as the test target? As long as we perform well and defeat them, we'll pass the test?"
After the initial shock, Natsu jumped up, raised his fist, and shouted, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, showing no fear whatsoever at all of the "Devil's Heart" thing.
What "strongest dark guild"? How can they compare to "Fairy Tail"? They are the "strongest mage guild," although currently only recognized by the "Fiore Kingdom."
This is a genuine official honor. Within the Kingdom of Fiore, Fairy Tail claims to be the "strongest mage guild in the Kingdom of Fiore," and no one can refute it. This title was earned through the Grand Magic Games.
"Your idea... is actually one of them."
Natsu's words made Moen chuckle, but he felt that they were worth considering.
If defeating two of the "Baram Alliance's three giants," "Oración Seis" and "Heart of the Devil," in a row isn't enough to prove their strength, then the threshold for becoming an "S-class mage" is indeed a bit too high.
After winning this battle, we can cancel the exam and directly promote some of them to "S-class mages".
"Really?!"
Upon hearing Moen's words, Natsu, Gray, and Freed's eyes lit up. If this were to be done, they would all be eager to fight "Devil's Heart"!
"Let's wait for the old man to come over and discuss it."
Looking at his guildmates, whose faces were full of fighting spirit, Moen said with a smile that this matter should be decided by his grandfather, since he was not the guild leader yet, but his grandfather was.
"Where did the student council president go?"
Upon hearing Moen mention Makarov, Gildarts asked with a puzzled look. He didn't believe Moen would fail to inform the chairman about something so important, but the old man had indeed not arrived yet.
"He went to inform a special being, who might also be an accomplice."
Moen explained that he had to inform Mavis about the exam cancellation so that the first president wouldn't be left waiting in vain.
As for the battle with "Heart of the Devil," it didn't matter whether Mavis came to help or not. Moen didn't think they would lose to "Heart of the Devil," but he didn't stop old man Makarov from going to Mavis for backup.
However, Moen was not very optimistic about whether that wisp of a ghost could hold the line. Although President Mavis was indeed very powerful and legendary in her lifetime, she was now just a ghost. How much of her former power could she exert?
Rather than relying on Mebius, it's better to pretend she doesn't exist. This uncertain fighting force is not worth relying on; it can only be used as a lifeline when drowning or as the last hope when defeated.
"What?! How could this happen?!"
At this moment, in front of Mavis's grave, the adorable fairy guild master was jumping up and down in anger.
"There's nothing we can do; we didn't expect this to happen."
Faced with the anxious Mebis, Makarov shrugged helplessly.
They really had no choice in this matter. Who could have imagined that "Heart of the Devil" would suddenly come to attack "Sirius Island"? If it weren't for Moen, Makarov certainly wouldn't have believed it, but since it was Moen who said it, he had no choice but to believe it.
"Damn it! They need to be taught a lesson!"
Mavis gritted her teeth, her little face contorted with a fierce expression. She was all prepared to face the younger members of the guild and had figured out how to test them, but the exam was canceled!
Unfortunately, Mavis, existing in ghost form, does not possess much combat power, and she finds it difficult to cast magic on her own.
If she were to fight, Mavis could only rely on external magic. After all, without a body, she couldn't generate magic at all. Being able to cast spells solely using external magic was already quite extraordinary.
Fortunately, the magic on "Tenrou Island" is abundant, making it easier for her to mobilize her magic, but in this mode, her strength is not considered very high.
"If that's how it is, then Senior Mavis should probably refrain from fighting."
After hearing Mebius's explanation, Makarov immediately abandoned the idea of having Mebius cover for him. He didn't want to ruin the ghost of his own founder; they could handle this battle on their own.
"Go for it, Makarov! You can do it!"
Although Mavis was disappointed, she was not worried that Fairy Tail would lose.
Although Mavis is now a ghost of limited strength, her knowledge, learning, and insight remain. She immediately recognized Moen's power; the little guy's strength had surpassed Makarov's.
"Leave it to us! Senior Mavis! We will protect Tenrou Island!"
Makarov solemnly assured them that if they allowed "Heart of the Devil" to destroy "Tenrou Island" in front of the "Guild Founder" and "First Guild Master," they would have utterly lost face.
He, the "third-generation chairman," should just abdicate on the spot! He's too ashamed to face Precht, the "second-generation chairman" who passed the chairmanship to him!
"It doesn't matter if Sirius Island is destroyed, as long as everyone is safe."
Mavis shook her head and said very seriously.
She didn't care much about "Tenrou Island." Although it was where she grew up and held many memories, compared to the safety of her guildmates, the island was nothing. She wouldn't care if it were destroyed.
"President Mavis..."
"
Looking at the earnest Fairy Tail guild master in front of him, Makarov was moved. This was the source of the spirit of Fairy Tail, the one who infused the entire Fairy Tail with a soul. He certainly did not disappoint!
Makarov responded and then turned to leave. He knew, of course, that protecting the children was the priority, and protecting "Tenrou Island" was definitely a secondary priority. Needless to say, anyone who wanted to harm the guild's children had to defeat him first!
"Heart of the Devil, let me deal with you."
Makarov clenched his fist. It had been a long time since he had made a move, and he just hoped that this "Heart of the Devil" would not disappoint.
Since Joseph Pora was defeated by Moen and Laxus, and since the "Spectre Ruler" disappeared, Makarov really hasn't had many opportunities to make a move. When Joseph Pora was still around, he could at least teach that guy a lesson from time to time.
The kids in the guild are so successful. Makarov, the guild leader, is a complete hands-off manager. He just eats and drinks, acts as a stabilizing force, and doesn't need to do anything else.
Before long, Makarov and the rest of the guild gathered on the shore.
By this time, everyone had reached the shore and knew what they were about to face. They weren't nervous at all; instead, they were eagerly anticipating the arrival of "The Devil's Heart."
Putting everything else aside, the battle with the "Oración Seis" truly "demystified" the "Baram Alliance Triumvirate" among the Fairy Tail members, proving they were nothing special.
If we're talking about prestige, Fairy Tail is just as formidable. There's no need for them to be intimidated by Devil Heart. In fact, it's Devil Heart that should be feared, since it's Fairy Tail.
I just defeated one of the "Six Demon Generals".
"Using the heart of a demon to replace the S-rank assessment?"
As soon as Makarov arrived, Moen brought up the matter. The old man was taken aback for a moment, but then immediately agreed.
"No problem. Almost everyone here participated in the battle to destroy the Oración Seis. Now that we've destroyed the Heart of the Devil, there's really no reason not to promote you."
Makarov, with a serious expression, gave his conclusion.
"We will be watching your performance."
Once this was confirmed, Natsu, Gray, and the others became excited.
Before they've even seen "Devil's Heart," Fairy Tail has already maxed out their buffs, each one practically wanting to devour "Devil's Heart" alive.
Moen smiled, but he didn't continue waiting for "The Heart of the Devil" there. He hadn't forgotten the other strange guy he'd seen in the "Premonition" scene earlier.
"I don't really remember that description."
Moen wasn't in a hurry. He first told Grandpa Makarov about the strange guy he had seen, but Grandpa Makarov had no recollection of the person either.
"Why is it so lively today?"
Makarov scratched his head, feeling very strange that the once peaceful "Tenrou Island" had suddenly been invaded by two waves of intruders today.
"It might not be two groups; maybe that guy is also from the Heart of the Devil."
Moen narrowed his eyes, greeted old man Makarov, and then disappeared. He was going to find that man.
Regardless of whether that guy is from "Heart of the Devil" or not, trespassing on "Tenrou Island" is something that "Fairy Tail" cannot ignore, as this is their guild's sacred ground.
If the other party has no malicious intent, then we can talk. If they are lost, we can send them out; if they accidentally wandered in, we can ask them to leave. They, the "Fairy Tail" people, are not some unreasonable barbarians.
But if that guy came with malicious intent, then Moen certainly wouldn't be polite to him. It would just be another corpse on "Sky Wolf Island." Moen hoped that the other party would know what was good for him.
Following the images seen in the "Premonition of the Future," Moen quickly arrived at his destination and saw the figure sitting under a tree, who seemed to be asleep.

After seeing this person with his own eyes, Moen's expression became serious, because this guy's strength was somewhat unexpected. Although his aura was restrained and he looked like an ordinary person, Moen could tell at a glance that this guy was extremely strong!
