The members of Fairy Tail gathered together, waiting for Moen's selection; no one wanted to miss this big event.
The group exchanged glances. In truth, everyone knew who was definitely capable of going. Strength couldn't be faked; who was stronger and who was weaker couldn't be hidden after spending so much time together.
Natsu and Gray will definitely go, as their strength is already far ahead of other non-S-class mages, and they are only one exam away from becoming S-class mages.
Lucy, Emerald, Elfman, Juvia, Cana, Gajeel, Fried, Biggleslow, Abagerin, Macao, Wakaba, Warren, and Lidas, all top members of the guild, will most likely go together, as some of them are no less powerful than "S-class mages".
Of course, the two "S-class mages" here are not using the same standard. Natsu and Gray have already met the "Fairy Tail" "S-class mage" standard, while the others are compared to a more common "S-class mage" standard.
If Fairy Tail were to lower its standards, their guild would be overflowing with S-rank mages.
However, everyone says that once this year's "Grand Martial Arts Tournament" begins, Fairy Tail's "S-Class Mages" will definitely be replenished, at least they won't be as short-handed as they were for a while before.
Indeed, once this year's "Joint Grand Martial Arts Tournament" begins, Natsu and Gray will most likely be promoted to "S-Class Mages," and Moen believes they are already qualified.
Both of them were already exceptionally talented, and with the added blessing of Moen's "new-style celestial magic" and the constant training they received from Moen over the years, the two young men grew at an extremely rapid pace.
That's the boys' side. As for the girls' side, Emerald and Lucy are the most promising and favored, but Moen thinks they need to be kept in check and allowed to grow a bit more. In fact, in terms of magical ability and destructive power, Lucy and Emerald are already quite formidable.
Having gradually mastered the ancient super magic of "Star Chart History," Lucy is not someone that ordinary people can stop when she really goes berserk. In addition, with the "Diamond Dust" of Cygnus and the six keys of the Zodiac, Lucy's combat power is definitely at the S-rank when she fully unleashes it.
Moreover, Lucy has the ability to summon the Celestial Spirit King in the most critical emergency. Even if her magic cannot fully unleash the Celestial Spirit King's power, he is still a ruler of a realm, a powerful force that even Moen must temporarily avoid.
As for Emerald, the "Lyra Celestial Magic" alone is enough for her to stand out from the crowd. Firstly, it is highly compatible, and secondly, the "Lyra" power is indeed very strong.
That "Nocturne of the Death Journey" is now used by Emerald with unparalleled skill. When the music starts, most people simply can't resist it and will be hypnotized. The upper limit of this move is really too high, and it is in no way inferior to the gold level skill.
If "Diamond Dust" isn't considered the ultimate move of the Aquarius Gold Saint, then "Death Journey Serenade" is on par with "Aurora's Forgiveness" in the Gold Saint tier. Therefore, the Emerald who obtains this skill is indeed very strong.
Among the many independent skills that Moen possesses, "Death Journey Serenade" is second to none, not much inferior to the ultimate moves that can only be used when wearing the [Golden Cloth].
If all else fails, Lucy and Emerald have a trump card: they can ask the original form of the Cloth to help them in battle, or even ask Moen to bestow the weapon of the Libra Gold Cloth!
These can all be summoned remotely. As long as Moen nods, the Saint Cloths and weapons will fly over, further enhancing their combat abilities and emphasizing the "open" aspect. This is the benefit of having Moen's backing. Of course, all of Moen's disciples can do this, not just Lucy and Emerald.
The reason why Moen wanted to suppress Lucy and Emerald was, of course, because of their physical abilities and close-combat skills.
In terms of "numerical values," Lucy and Emerald's "skills" are almost maxed out, but their "physical attributes" are quite ordinary, unlike Natsu and Gray who are so well-rounded. Although they are not bad, at least they are at a middle value, but they are definitely a weakness.
Although Lucy and Emerald had been training and practicing with Moen, talent is something that cannot be forced, and neither of them were particularly skilled in physical abilities.
Among "A-rank mages", they are naturally very outstanding with their near-max level "skills", and their weaknesses are not even considered weaknesses among "A-rank mages".
However, among the "S-class mages," everyone's "skills" are not low, and may even be at the maximum level. Therefore, their "physical strength" becomes a huge weakness, with a huge gap compared to other "S-class mages," becoming the weakest link in the whole.
Gildarts goes without saying; he's a monster with maxed-out "skills" but can usually solve problems with his fists. The other "S-class mages" are no less impressive in this regard, including the two who are already considered "quasi-S-class mages."
Therefore, until their weaknesses are addressed, or at least until they stop being such a drag on the team, Moen is unwilling to let Lucy and Emerald be promoted to "S-class mage". He is a very strict teacher.
Lucy and Emerald are also quite disappointing; they don't really have any ambition for becoming "S-Class Mages," unlike Natsu and Gray who think about becoming "S-Class Mages" every day. Perhaps their living conditions are just too good.
The period before that was probably the time when Lucy and Emerald were most motivated to advance to "S-class mage". They wanted to help their master, Moen, and prevent the guild's "S-class commissions" from piling up.
Now that Gildarts has returned and the backlog of "S-class commissions" has been lifted, the two of them have become more laid-back again. In addition, Natsu and Gray are about to be promoted to "S-class mages," so the two of them are even less anxious about the promotion issue.
Standing in front of everyone, Moen was thinking when he suddenly glared at Lucy and Emerald, making the two of them feel inexplicably guilty.
"The Oración Seis doesn't have many mages, but they have quite a few affiliated dark guilds. This attack will require a lot of people, but most of them will be assigned to deal with those affiliated guilds. Facing the Oración Seis directly won't require many people."
Moen spoke, silencing everyone.
He explained the basic situation of the "Six Demon Generals". The "Six Demon Generals" headquarters does not have many people, but they have a lot of underlings, and they all came with them this time.
Bobo, the guild leader of "Blue Pegasus," has sent a message that their mages have discovered the main force of "Oración Seis" (Six Demon Generals), and those guys are heading straight for "Wasu Tree Sea."
Therefore, after the allied forces gather, they will head straight for the "Waste Tree Sea" to engage in a large-scale battle and a head-on sniping duel.
Everyone listened quietly, filled with nervous anticipation. Although it seemed that quite a few people could go, there was a big difference between fighting an affiliated guild and fighting the "Six Demon Generals".
Soon, Moen called out names, and this time it was truly a "mass mobilization." Basically, everyone in the guild with a name or a name could go along, as they were all going to deal with the affiliated guilds.
"Mo...Moen-ge! I...I want to go too!"
Just as Moen finished taking attendance, a soft, sweet voice called out timidly.
It was Wendy. She timidly raised her little hand, but her expression was very determined. This time, she was determined to go with them!
Wendy...
""
Looking at the child, Moen sighed; he had an idea.
Everyone looked at Wendy. The little girl was really young. Although Wendy was already quite strong as a "Dragon Slayer Mage", she was too young for Moen to take her along on important matters.
Wendy hadn't said anything before, but this time it was clearly different.
The Vass Forest is home to the "Cat's Abode" guild, and Robin is right there. It would be strange if Wendy wasn't worried.
"Please, Brother Moen, let me go with you. I can help too..."
"7
Seeing Moen remain silent, Wendy, fearing rejection, asked again.
"Okay, Wendy, you can come along too."
In the end, Moen couldn't bring himself to refuse the child. He had a vague suspicion that this matter might be related to Robin Lue, after all, he was clearly an important side character, and Old Man Robin Lue was special enough.
Wendy and Mystogan should both have been connected to Robin Lue. Robin Lue was even willing to create a "Cat's Lodge" for Wendy, so there must be more to the story there.
Moen knew that it was only because his appearance had disrupted the original plot that he did not sever his connection with Robin. He maintained the relationship, and Wendy would still go there for a few days every year, just to keep the storyline from being cut off.
But now it seems that the story has been continued in another way, or perhaps this was the way the story was originally meant to be?
"Thank you, Brother Moen!"
Wendy was immediately delighted to receive Moen's reply; she was genuinely worried about Grandpa Robin and everyone at "Cat's Lodge".
Wendy was actually quite confident that with Moen leading everyone to form an alliance to help, but she still felt uneasy if she didn't go along.
After arranging Wendy's affairs, amidst everyone's anticipation, Moen then called out names.
This is the real showdown; it's about going to fight the "Oracion" (Six Demon Generals).
"Erza, Mirajane, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Emerald, as an elite team, come with me to confront the Oración Seis."
Moen was straightforward and directly revealed the candidate.
"Yay! That's awesome!"
"Very good!"
Natsu and Gray cheered upon hearing this, which drew angry glares from everyone, and many of their companions who weren't called on were quite disappointed.
"I'm applying to join too!"
Another person raised their hand, this time expressing their desire to join the elite squad.
Moen looked over at the man; it was Fried who had raised his hand, followed by Biguslow and Abdragrin.
The "Thunder Legion" clearly hoped to join the elite squad as representatives of Laxus. They didn't want to be mere bystanders in such an important event; they needed to bring fame to the "Thunder Legion" and Laxus.
"Okay, Fried is in."
Moen readily agreed, allowing Fried to join the elite squad. It was indeed time to give the "Thor's Creed" a chance to shine after Laxus's departure, which would also increase cohesion.
Seeing that Fried was allowed to join the "elite squad," Biguslow and Ebagrien did not insist any further and simply put their hands down.
They only need to ensure that one person can join. It is obviously unrealistic for all three members of the "Thor's Gang" to join, because in addition to the selected members, there are many powerful members who have not been selected. It would be difficult to convince the public if all three members of the "Thor's Gang" joined. It would be enough to have their strongest member, Fried, join.
"Pack your things, we'll meet at the East Gate in one hour and depart."
After signing Fried, Moen didn't delay any longer, immediately announcing the departure time and then disbanding the team.
The group dispersed, packed their luggage and necessary items, and soon regrouped at the east gate of Magnolia.
The main force did not delay any longer and set off directly on the flying crows towards the rendezvous point. At the same time, the same scene was unfolding in other mage guilds of the Kingdom of Fiore.
This time, the coalition is much larger than the last one. It's not just the "Iron Triangle" anymore; the entire kingdom has been mobilized.
The Magic Council, having suffered a major embarrassment, naturally wanted to pull off a big heist. As the instigators, they lobbied hard and promised numerous rewards, contributing significantly to the formation of the coalition.
The allied forces' assembly point was located near the Sea of Vassu. Coincidentally, Bob of "Blue Pegasus" had a large villa nearby, so they used it as their meeting point. They couldn't just rush into the Sea of Vassu; the situation inside was complicated, and they had to be cautious.
With the help of the crows, the Fairy Tail members arrived at the meeting point relatively early, before the other guilds had arrived. After settling the main group in, Moen immediately entered the Vast Tree Sea, taking Wendy and Charlene with him.
This Vass Tree Sea is most familiar to Robin Lu of "Demon Cat's Abode". Their allied forces want to seize the initiative, so of course they need to ask Robin Lu for help.
Most importantly, Moen also wanted to take this opportunity to ask Robin Lue what secrets this powerful old man, who could create a bunch of thought entities by himself, a bunch of thought entities that looked like real people, was hiding.
"Grandpa Robin! One of the three leaders of the Balam Alliance, the Oración Seis, is about to attack. Do you have any leads?"
Upon arriving at the tribal-style guild headquarters of "Cat's Abode," Moen immediately shouted loudly, causing the members of "Cat's Abode" to look at him, Wendy, and Charlotte. They then greeted them with surprise and enthusiasm.
"What are you yelling about? What Dark Guild? Moen, since you're here, you probably didn't come alone, right?"
What do you need me to do?
Soon, Robin Lu's voice came over as well.
