"That's great, Lisanna."
Holding her younger sister, Mirajane felt a sense of redemption, as if she had found something she had lost. She could hardly hold back her tears. The horror of what had just happened made her truly believe that she was going to lose her sister forever.
"Sister Mira"
Lisanna was still shaken, her body trembling.
"It's over."
Moen spoke up to calm the two panicked sisters, Mirajane and Lisanna gradually calmed down.
"By the way! How's Elfman doing?!"
Both sisters were safe and sound, and they both looked at Elfman.
"Elfman."
Looking at Elfman lying motionless on the ground, the two sisters were filled with worry. Had the powerful "Beast King" really been subdued and successfully taken over by Elfman?
Moen remained calm, his mind still focused on the hyperspace magic "Anima," a problem he really needed to solve quickly.
Although Mistgang was running around dealing with the situation, he was only one person, and he couldn't always get there in time. Just like this time, he failed to stop it.
"Don't worry, Elfman is fine now. It's just that he probably won't be able to use the Beastmaster's Soul skill properly for a while. He'll need to get used to it first."
Moen spoke up, trying to calm Mirajane and Lisanna down.
Both girls are still very emotionally unstable. They are extremely sensitive and vulnerable right now, firstly because Elfman is still in a coma, and secondly because Lisanna almost met with misfortune. It would be strange if they could remain emotionally stable.
"Moen, what was that just now?"
After confirming that Elfman was really alright, Mirajane talked about the "magic vortex" that had just appeared, which seemed to devour everything and terrified her.
Without a doubt, if she were in Lisanna's position, her performance wouldn't be much better, and she would definitely be sucked into that magical vortex just like everything else.
"It's really terrifying."
Lisanna, who was truly at the center of the storm, felt this even more deeply. She was filled with lingering fear, knowing that she was only alive because of Moengo, and that she herself had lost all means of coping.
"That's magic from the parallel world Edolas; it's indeed very dangerous."
Moen explained that this wasn't the first time he'd seen it. He was also shocked when he saw it last time, and even Grandpa Makarov was surprised. That's when they met Mystergan.
"Is Edolas the world of Happy, Charlu, and the others?"
As soon as Moen mentioned the name "Edras," Mirajane and Lisanna immediately realized that this world existed.
Happy and Charlotte are said to have come from that world. Of course, Happy has no recollection of it, and Charlotte never mentions it.
After all, these "Transcendent Ones" came from the state of eggs, so it's normal that they didn't know. They only learned about the existence of the "Edras" world from Chairman Makarov.
"That's right, it's Edolas."
Moen nodded in affirmation and then explained the "Anima" magic to the two sisters.
"How awful! The Edolas!"
This evil "Anima" magic was met with fierce condemnation from Mirajane and Lisanna, who were clearly outraged.
"Edolas? What Edolas?"
While Moen, Mirajane, and Lisanna were talking, Elfman finally woke up. He listened to the three of them talking in a daze and asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Wait! Where's the Beast King?!"
Elfman didn't know why Mira and Lisanna were talking about "Edras," nor did he know why Morn was here. Right now, all he could think about was "Beast King."
"Take a look at your receiving magic first."
Moen replied with a smile, reminding the bewildered Elfman.
Elfman was very obedient and immediately began to examine his magic. Then the big guy was completely stunned.
"I actually received it successfully?!"
Elfman stood up, his face filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that he had actually succeeded in receiving the "Beast King"!
"But how did I succeed?"
Elfman asked with a puzzled look. The "Beast King" was incredibly powerful. After casting the "Receive Magic," he felt that he hadn't even had a chance to use it before he was knocked unconscious by the "Beast King's" magic.
"How can this be received successfully?" Elfman said he couldn't understand it.
"You failed. It was Moen who helped you. Otherwise, you would have been directly taken over by the Beast King. You can't control the Beast King yet, so don't use it lightly. You might lose control again."
Because of Moen's reminder, Mirajane spoke up to her younger brother Elfman, explaining in detail what had just happened, so that the boy wouldn't foolishly accept the "Beast King" and lose control.
"What?! Lisanna was almost turned into magic and sucked into another world?!"
Elfman didn't feel too much regret that he hadn't actually succeeded in receiving the "Beast King" yet. He would have plenty of time to fight the "Beast King" in the future. What shocked and worried Elfman was that his sister Lisanna had almost gotten into trouble just now.
"It's all my fault for being useless; I failed to successfully receive the Beast King."
Elfman began to take responsibility, after all, Lisanna had entered the area of that terrifying magic because she was worried about him. If she hadn't been worried about him, Lisanna definitely wouldn't have wandered into that area.
"It's not your fault. It's all my fault for not being strong enough to defeat this monster. If I could have defeated it, you wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble."
Seeing Elfman admit his mistake, Mirajane also began to take responsibility for herself. She felt that if she had been able to defeat the "Beast King" directly, none of this would have happened, and Lisanna would never have wanted to come out to help out of concern for them.
Mirajane and Elfman, the siblings, were quite ruthless, taking all the blame upon themselves, as if afraid of shifting any of the blame onto others.
Those who know them understand that this is a friendly and respectful relationship between siblings, and that they are voluntarily sharing the pot. Those who don't know them might think they are fighting over something good.
"."
Moen shook his head. Although the feelings were genuine, it was pointless to say anything now. Besides, Lisanna was still alive and well. These two were making it seem like she was really dead.
"Let's rest for a bit and recover our mana, then we'll head back to the guild."
Moen waved his hand, indicating that they shouldn't try to take the blame here. Everyone has problems, so they should correct them and try not to make the same mistakes again. If they feel sorry for Lisanna, then they should treat her better in the future. These are the real practical things and actions.
Mirajane and Elfman both nodded. Moen's words made sense. The matter here had been resolved, and they didn't need to stay any longer. The right thing to do was to pack their things and go home quickly.
While the group was resting, someone finally arrived late.
Wearing a mask that completely concealed himself, and carrying several staffs on his back, Mystogan arrived at the "crime scene" in a dusty state. Unfortunately, the "Anima magic" here had already ended, and he had made a wasted trip.
"Isn't that Mystogan?"
Looking at the "mysterious man" at the "crime scene," Mirajane said that for her family of three, Mistgang was indeed a "guild mystery man," because they had basically never interacted with him and didn't know him at all. They had only heard of his name and seen his photo, which of course always showed him wearing a mask.
When Moen invited Mystogan to join Fairy Tail, Mirajane and her family of three were still back in their hometown.
After they finally joined, Mystergan rarely came back, and even when he did, he always did it in a very mysterious way.
Mystergan possesses incredibly powerful hypnotic magic. He can arrive "without anyone noticing." Except for a very few people who can resist his hypnotic magic, everyone else will be hypnotized until he leaves.
Throughout the entire process of Mistgang's return, everyone was constantly sleeping; Lisanna and Elfman, for example, never actually saw him even once.
"It's Mystergang."
Moen nodded. It seemed that Mystogan had successfully discovered the "Anima" here, but there was simply not enough time. Otherwise, they should have been able to prevent the "Anima" from erupting.
"Buzz!"
Moen released his magic, alerting Mystergan in the deep pit and alerting him to their presence.
In order to recover their condition, they did not leave immediately, nor did they linger in the deep pit of ruins formed by the absorption of "Anima". Instead, they went to a towering hill nearby.
A short while later, Mistgang, leaning on his magical artifact, arrived at the mountain and met Moen, Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman.
"Mount, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Moen and his group, Mistgang asked with a puzzled expression.
In this godforsaken place, he never expected to run into a fellow member of the Fairy Tail guild, and not just any member, but Moen.
"We're here to carry out an S-class mission."
Moen answered, without hiding anything.
Moen trusted Mystogan completely because the guy was so pure. Moen truly trusted and admired this otherworldly prince who selflessly traveled around solving the "Anima" problem.
"An S-rank mission? So you even brought a few companions along to experience the intensity and atmosphere, but won't that discourage them?"
Mystergan spoke slowly. He thought that this "S-class mission" was accepted by Moen, and that Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman had come together as a team to broaden their horizons with Moen.
"."
There was a moment of silence, and finally Moen spoke:
"It's Mira's mission; my responsibility is to ensure their safety."
"Mirajin? You've also been promoted to S-class mage."
Upon hearing Moen's words, Mistgang was visibly taken aback, then he remarked with a sigh, seemingly not having considered this point.
"I was promoted to S-rank after getting first place, just like Erza."
Mirajane, her face dark, began to explain the significance of her S-rank status.
"Awesome, congratulations!"
Mystergan nodded and offered Mirajane a heartfelt compliment, genuinely congratulating her and wishing Fairy Tail another powerful member.
"Mister Gang, it's time for you to come back and take the assessment."
Moen's sudden words caught Mister Gang off guard. He hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding in agreement.
"Okay, next year, I'll come back to participate in the S-level assessment and strive to be promoted to S-level."
Mystergan said "strive for," which surprised everyone.
Even Lisanna and Elfman, who were completely unfamiliar with Mystergan, knew that this "mysterious man" was very powerful, since he always made everyone sleep like logs whenever he returned to the guild.
Lisanna and Elfman could both sense this formidable strength. This mystery led them to overestimate Mystergang's abilities, and Mystergang's strength indeed lived up to their expectations; he could easily advance to S-rank.
"That's great! If you participate in the assessment next year, we can get first place three times in a row and completely suppress the younger generation of the three guilds. This will be a good start for the expanded assessment in the future."
Moen smiled with satisfaction. It was naturally very important that Mister Gang was willing to come back to participate in next year's S-class assessment. With this guy fighting, there was no need to worry about the rankings anymore. He was sure to get first place and a promotion.
"It's a pity that Natsu, Gray, and the others will have to wait a little longer."
Moen smiled and said that as long as Mystogan participates in the competition, it will definitely be a high-level crushing blow. In this case, Mystogan will definitely advance alone like Erza and Mirajane, and the others in Fairy Tail can only accept it.
"Unless they can perform as well as Mystergan."
Mirajane spoke up, feeling that there was still a chance.
Although Mistgang was undoubtedly very strong, she had only ever witnessed his hypnotic magic. Could such magic still be so effective in actual combat? Mirajane had a big question mark in her mind; she still didn't understand Mistgang.
"I hope they can do it."
Mystergan, however, didn't care at all. He would definitely do his best to win, which would also be in response to the expectations of Moen and Chairman Makarov.
As for the others, he didn't care whether they performed well or poorly. He would be happy if other Fairy Tail guildmates could advance with him, as it meant that the guild's strength had increased and the reliability of their plan to retake Edolas was also improving.
The only problem now is that Mystogan hasn't figured out a safe way back, or a way for everyone to use magic freely. He can't just lead everyone there to their deaths.
How's your research going?
Moen was also concerned about this, as it was the key to resolving "Anima". He couldn't wait to go to "Edras" and teach those guys a lesson they would never forget.
