Chapter 17: Ch 17 : The Turmoil of Judgment
"Wait a moment."
Seeing that the toad-like official was about to arrest Erza, Noel finally spoke up.
The Magic Council's toad-faced official showed a slight expression of surprise upon seeing Noel. Then, with a respectful bow, he greeted him.
As one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Noel might not have actual authority, but in terms of status, he was at least equal to the Council members—far beyond what a mere official like him could afford to offend.
"Honorable Wizard Saint Noel, what can I do for you?"
"May I take a look at the arrest warrant?"
"Well... Alright."
The toad-faced man nodded and handed the warrant to Noel.
Noel quickly scanned through its contents, frowning slightly.
The warrant was quite brief, with the listed charges primarily revolving around the collateral damage from the Eisenwald incident.
Due to the battle, both Oshibana Station and the Clover Canyon railway had suffered destruction. While the damages seemed severe on the surface, considering Fairy Tail's history of "glorious achievements," this wasn't exactly an unprecedented case.
