Chapter 529: Wizard Saint Nomination
"It’s too lax. A matter involving an invasion from another world was concluded so carelessly?"
"The magic power hasn’t been fully eliminated, the magical devices remain intact, and even the main perpetrator was left to be judged by Edolas."
"It really was too hasty. What if the king they elected is later overthrown? What if they launch another attack on Earth Land?"
"If action is necessary, it should be decisive. We should have severed their ability to ever invade Earth Land again."
"Just look at these stacks of self-reflection reports. If the guild weren’t so undisciplined, there wouldn’t be so many loose ends left behind."
In the newly established Council chamber, the new Chairman and eight Councilors sat around a long, polished table.
Spread before them were Fairy Tail’s self-reflection reports from the past few months, letters of complaint from concerned citizens, Lahar’s detailed investigation, a set of Edolas magical tools gifted by Rhode, and a freshly printed newspaper.
The topic under intense debate was Magnolia’s unexplained disappearance and sudden return.
The incident had already made headlines. As the sole organization responsible for maintaining magical order across the continent, the Council was expected to deliver a thorough explanation, especially to the Kingdom of Fiore.
It wasn’t enough to simply state the cause and result. The public needed reassurance. Would this ever happen again? And if it did, what would the response be?
The central dilemma was this: how could they ensure there would never be another Anima?
Fairy Tail seemed confident, placing their trust in Mystogan. But for the Council, trust alone wasn’t enough.
