Chapter 69
NEXT GENERATION

Card:
Name: Luxus Dreyer 　...　Age: 23 years old
Magic: 　Lightning, and other sorts of magic
Likes: The strongest
Dislikes: Weaklings

(below card)
Notes
A candidate for Fairy Tail's strongest member. He's bad at communicating with other people, so he usually spends his time alone.
The thing attached to his ears is the magic music player, "Sound Pot". His favourite genre of music is rock with classical mixed in it.

It's the New Year?!
I'll be the "The Rule" this year too!

Happy New Year.
Please treat me well this year too... is what he meant (maybe).

Makarov: Guhgyawwww zupiii
Makarov: Buhgyawwww... guhgyawwwww
FT's Mr. "My Pace"!
Even in the middle of a trial... it makes no difference!

Makarov: Guhpiiii
Makarov: Guhgyawwww
Makarov: Guhgyawww

Makarov: Buhgyawwww。
SFX: shocked awe

Lizard: Uh... Makarov-san?
SFX: *suddenly awake*
Makarov: Yes!!!

003
Sidetext: Fairy Tail were victorious over the Phantom Guild and their rebellion! Although there are still the problems of the Magic Council's punishment and the Guild's reconstruction and so on, it's a change of heart and a new start!!

Lizard: We're in the middle of a trial but... surely you were not sleeping just now?
Makarov: !!!

Makarov: Don't be ridiculous!!
Makarov: Ahahahaha!!!

Woman SFX: *giggle*

Phantom Lord has been disbanded... and Jose stripped of his title as one of the Ten Holy Mages.
This is all as expected.

However, we have reached a decision and found you Not Guilty.

004
Yajima: You should be thankful, Maka my lad

Yajima: I spoke up for you, you know

Box: Magic Council Member
6th Seat - Yajima

Makarov: I'm much obliged, Yanny son.
Makarov: Once the Guild's been repaired, stop by for a visit. I'll treat you to ramen!

Yajima: Fairy Ramen is it? I'll thank you to put 12 slices of meat on top.
Makarov: Isn't 12 slices a bit much?

Yajima: Well seeing as both this case and the guild rebellion come under Treaty Violation, Article Four...

Makarov: Fine!!! I'll give you 20 or 30 or however many slices you want!!!
Yajima: I'll be fine with 12 slices

005
Makarov: Well... you really helped me out this time
Yajima: Maka my lad, don't go overboard again.
Makarov: Hm?

Yajima: Fairy Tail's recent reckless behaviour has been excessive

Yajima: To be honest, Mikero and Ohgu filed a guild disbandment request

Lower Box: Magic Council Member
Lower Box: 3rd Seat - Mikero
Upper Box: Magic Council Member
Upper Box: 2nd Seat - Ohgu
Yajima: If you carry on at this rate, you're bound to receive a heavy punishment

Yajima: You should just hurry up and retire
Makarov: .......
Yajima: Otherwise your body won't be able to take it

006
Mira: Listen up, everyone! From today we've resumed accepting work requests!
Mira: It's only a temporary information board but let's work hard!!

Group: Uwohhhhh!!!
Group: It's work! Work!!!
SFX: running

007
Lucy: What's up with them? Usually they just sit around all day and drink...
SFX: *chatter*chatter*
Mira: Ahahaha

Lucy: Maybe because Loki's not here
Mira: Oooh... looks like Lucy's fallen under Loki's evil spell too!
Lucy: Not true!!!
SFX: *chatter chatter*

Lucy: It's just... it seems that he found my keys for me... I wanted to at least thank him
Keys SFX: *jangle*

Mira: Yeah... If I see him, I'll tell him for you. By the way, did your Stellar Spirits get angry at you? For losing the keys, I mean
Lucy: Haha...

Lucy: As for that... well... they didn't so much get angry as go crazy...
Spirit: I thought I told you... NOT to lose them again, little girl
Spirit: Didn't I?
Lucy: Hieeee

Lucy: My butt hurts just thinking about it...
Lucy SFX: tremble
Mira: Oh dear

008
Grey: Want me to cool it down for you?
Lucy: That's casual sexual harassment.


Happy: Lucy, show us your red butt~
Lucy: That's blatant sexual harassment!

Natsu: If I made it hurt more I wonder what kind of face Lucy would make
Lucy: Are you a demon?!?!
SFX: fire flaring up

!!!!

Erza: You try saying that one more time!!!!

SFX: murmur murmur

009
SFX: murmur murmur

Lucy: Erza?

Luxus: I'll spell it out for you, just this once
Luxus: We don't need weaklings in this guild!

010
Erza: Bastard...
Luxus: Being looked down on by the likes of Phantom... I'm so ashamed that I can't show my face on the street!

Happy: Luxus... when did he get back?
Grey: That asshole starts shooting his mouth off as soon as he gets back
Lucy: S-class Luxus!

Luxus: You guys are the problem. Yeah, you guys.

Luxus: I heard you were the ones who got beaten by Gazille in the first place, right?
Luxus: Come to think of it, I don't even know your names. Who the hell are you?

Luxus: You're pathetic!
Luxus SFX: Ahahahaha

Lucy: What a terrible thing to...

011
Luxus: And what do we have here? Is this the little lady who caused the trouble in the first place?

Mira SFX: Slam
Mira: Luxus!!!

Mira: Everything's over and done with. We didn't blame anyone from the very beginning!
Mira: You didn't take part in the battle and even you aren't being blamed! That's what the Master decided.

Luxus: Whatever you say, it's nothing to do with me
Luxus: Though... if I'd been here, it wouldn't have been such a disgraceful mess

012
Natsu: YOU BASTARD, LUXUS!!!!
Erza: Natsu!

Natsu: !!!
Luxus SFX: fweeen

Luxus SFX: fweeen
Natsu: Wha?

013
Lucy: Huh?

Natsu: Luxus!!! Come here and fight me, you heartless bastard!!!
Luxus: Hahahaha, how is it a fight if you can't even catch me?

Luxus: When I take over this guild, I'll crush all the weaklings!!!
Luxus: And all those who defy me too!
SFX: Hahahahaha

014
Ahahahahaha!!!

Lucy: "Take over"? What nonsense was he spouting...
Mira: That's not actually the case
Lucy: ?

Mira: Luxus is actually the Master's grandson

Lucy: Whaaaaaaat??!

015
Mira: So when the Master retires, there's a big chance that Luxus will be the next Master
Lucy: N..no way...

Lucy: But... I don't think that's right... for a guy who thinks that way of his comrades to become the Master

Mira: The rumour is that's why even the Master has had a hard time retiring
Lucy: Because he's waiting for that guy to clean up his act?
Mira: In the end, it's just a rumour. The fact is, the Master himself hasn't said a single word to us about the next Master

Natsu: That bastard...
Erza: Enough... you'll just wear yourself out worrying about him

Erza: Instead of that, how about it?
Erza: Want to go do some work?

016
Natsu: Eh?

Erza: Of course, Grey and Lucy should come too
Grey: Eh?!
Mira: Grey, your clothes...?
Lucy: Y-yes?!

Erza: It feels like we've been teaming up ever since the Eisenwald. Want to form a team this time too?

Erza: The 4 of us together. With Happy, it's 5
Lucy: Waaa!

017
Crowd SFX: Woooooow
Fairy Tail's strongest team is officially formed!!!
Awesome!!!
But... Lucy's one of the strongest...?
I don't think I could win if she summoned Aquarius
Y.. you're right...
You guys are the strongest!!!

Grey and Natsu: With... with this guy......
Erza: Any complaints?
Grey and Natsu: No, we're thrilled.

Erza: Let's get right to work!! We're fighting the secret religious magic organisation in Rubinasu Castle Town!!

018
SFX: Gulp Gulp

SFX: Haaaa
SFX: *clink*

Makarov: Retirement, eh?...

Makarov: The Guild's gotten a new start
Makarov: So I guess the Master should also be heading towards the new age...

019
Makarov: Luxus...
Makarov: His heart's not in the right place at all

Makarov: Gildartz would be impossible too...

Makarov: As for Mist Gun...
Makarov: That guy's like a walking example of miscommunication...

Makarov: And if that's the case...
Makarov: She's still young, but Erza...

Mira: Master! So this is where you were!
Makarov: Hm?

Mira: Looks like they've done it again
Makarov: Huh?

020
Mira: It seems Erza and her lot half destroyed a town during their job
Makarov: !!!!

Mira: The Council has demanded a prompt written apology from us!
Mira: Huh? What's wrong, Master?

Makarov: Ohhhh...

Makarov: AS IF I COULD ACTUALLY RETIRE RIGHT NOW!!!
Text: ...and with that, looks like Fairy Tail will be staying the same for a while yet!
