Moreover, those who chose "Approved" shared the same goal and idea, but those who chose "Disapproved" might represent two extremes.
Some felt the sentence was harsh, while others felt it was light.
They argued internally first, making it impossible to pull all the votes to the "Disapproved" side.
In short, the trial process was interesting.
Marco did not speak much, observing in silence. So far, he had cast "Approved" votes for all of them.
He believed the "Magic Council's" judgments were normal.
However, Marco was not idle.
While voting, he trained his abilities.
He used his "Predict the Future" ability. The predicted time span was brief, and the target of his prediction was the outcome of each vote.
When using "Predict the Future," two choices appeared before Marco: the scenario where he voted "Approved" and the scenario where he voted "Disapproved."
These were two distinct timelines.
His "Predict the Future" could view multiple timelines. The effect was powerful.
The future is an accumulation of events, branching out like leaves and branches. The future extends infinitely, and every future is a parallel world.
Therefore, innate "Future Seers" could not only see all the possibilities of this world's future, but they could also see the futures of tens of billions of different parallel worlds.
Powerful [Gold Saints] skilled in this superpower could summon an alternate dimension gathering the futures of countless parallel worlds, showing the opponent various possibilities in the form of holographic stereoscopic images.
This method resembled a supercomputer deducing the future.
Of course, Marco could not reach that level yet.
He could only foresee imminent events for a brief moment and find the optimal solution from them.
Currently, this move had limited use in combat because there was no time.
Marco could not review all future possibilities and make a choice in a split second.
This was why Marco kept practicing. His various superpowers required practice. If one is weak, one must practice more.
When he could practice to the point where seeing the enemy's movements allowed him to connect with the best response, arranging the process and result of the battle the moment the enemy acted, this move would be considered mastered.
By then, during a battle, he could state, "The moment you attacked, the outcome was decided."
Just thinking about it was thrilling!
"Next... is Angel of the Oración Seis."
While Marco fantasized, the trial reached the main event.
The "Generals" of the "Oración Seis" took the stage.
Leading the group was the "Celestial Spirit Mage" Angel.
Her Celestial Spirit keys had been confiscated, leaving her a powerless, a "Celestial Spirit Mage" who lost her Celestial Spirits is useless.
As for her keys, they were given to Lucy as spoils of war.
Lucy took them with peace of mind. After all, she was the main force in defeating Angel.
The "equipment dropped" by Angel should belong to her, and the "Magic Council" had no room to object.
"Angel..."
Seeing Angel appear, everyone looked at the representative of "Blue Pegasus."
The person sent by "Blue Pegasus" was Hibiki Lates.
It was clear that Master Bob was grooming Hibiki as the future master, entrusting him with many tasks.
Just as "Quatro Cerberus" sent Bacchus, he was the successor among the younger generation of "Quatro Cerberus."
Expecting them to rival Marco, the successor of "Fairy Tail," was impossible.
Even Bacchus and Hibiki Lates did not think they could compare to him. Hibiki had even taken Marco as his master.
However, Bob and Goldmine valued that along with their strength and temperament, they had a good personal relationship with Marco and had no intention of competing with him.
Their good relationship with Marco was a bonus.
What is the long-term way of running a guild?
It is not about how brilliant the successor is, but about the successor's relationship with Marco being strong enough!
At this moment, Hibiki Lates, who had a strong relationship with Marco, gritted his teeth.
His gaze toward Angel was filled with hatred.
Although after the incident with Karen Lilica, under Marco's persuasion, Hibiki Lates stopped investing too much energy in matters of love.
Yet, it was undeniable that he had genuine feelings for Karen Lilica.
Even though Karen was flawed in nature, the dead often have their faults ignored, and the beautiful memories left behind deepen over time.
Therefore, upon seeing Karen's murderer, Hibiki could not suppress his emotions.
He wanted to go up and kill Angel right now!
"Calm down."
Marco reached out, patting Hibiki on the shoulder to comfort his apprentice.
With him here, Angel could not escape the blame.
A life for a life, there was nothing to say.
Angel had not only killed Karen, she attacked "Celestial Spirit Mages" to steal their keys.
"Yes... I understand."
Comforted by Marco, Hibiki took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
He looked at Marco and Bacchus, who was looking at him with concern from the other side, nodding to both to indicate he had regained his reason.
The "Iron Triangle" of "Fairy Tail," "Blue Pegasus," and "Quatro Cerberus" sat together.
"Blue Pegasus" and "Quatro Cerberus" sat on either side of "Fairy Tail," benefiting from the association, making other powerful guilds dissatisfied.
For example, "Lamia Scale" and "Mermaid Heel" had to sit closer to the side, further away from Marco in the center seat.
"Angel, unforgivable crimes, sentenced to death."
After Angel's crimes were announced, Hibiki Lates, beside Marco, almost crushed the "Approved" button.
He shouted, as if anyone who chose "Disapproved" was his enemy, which was a bit exaggerated.
Marco and the others naturally chose "Approved."
There was no objection to this sentence, and no one defended Angel.
The remaining "Generals" of the "Oración Seis" would face the same situation.
