Precht had originally thought that ever since he founded Grimoire Heart and began to fall into the abyss of dark magic, he had already given up all his human emotions…
Just like the Black Wizard Zeref, whom he admired, hated, and deeply wished to replace or become, he had transformed into an embodiment of darkness.
But a simple sentence from Mavis still hurt him so much.
Precht: "I finally dared to be brave once, but you made me lose so thoroughly?!"
"Second Generation, what on earth are you saying? Second Generation!"
"Since you have returned to the Fairy Tail Guild, of course, you should take over the position of Guild Master. It just so happens that I was planning to step down anyway…"
However, the moment Precht's words fell…
Makarov suddenly reached out and grabbed Precht's forearm, his expression fierce, looking as if he absolutely would not let Precht run away here.
"Huh?"
Precht looked bewildered at this.
For a moment, Precht even thought that his identity as the Guild Master of Grimoire Heart, the strongest Dark Magic Guild in the Ishgar Continent, had been exposed?!
"Makarov, what do you mean by this?"
So, Precht looked at Makarov and asked cautiously.
To be honest, Precht wasn't afraid of Makarov at all. He was confident that even if Makarov knew everything, he could still escape unscathed!
But Precht had no face to show his evil side in front of Mavis. He hoped Mavis would always remain innocent and cheerful.
"Second Generation! What on earth are you saying?!"
"Since you have returned to the Fairy Tail Guild, how can there be any reason to leave again?! This Guild Master position should naturally still be yours!"
"Besides, I'm not cut out for managing the guild in the first place!"
"I merely managed it on your behalf when you left the guild."
"So since you have returned, from today onwards, the Fairy Tail Guild should rightfully continue to be managed by you."
Makarov held Precht's hand and said excitedly.
"No, this…"
"How can I accept this?"
Precht's expression changed for a moment, and finally, he smiled lightly.
However, Precht's eyes were cold. He wanted to see what tricks Makarov was playing!
"No! You absolutely must not feel embarrassed!"
"This is your duty, you absolutely must not decline…"
Makarov held Precht's hand and said seriously.
However, in Makarov's heart, it was a completely different scene.
"Second Generation, you're finally back."
"This time, no matter who comes, I won't let you leave."
"As long as you stay within the Fairy Tail Guild, I can confidently break through my bottleneck. Once I officially reach the 'Heavenly King' realm, will those little brats in the guild, who have just entered the 'Ten Wizard Saints' level, still dare to mock me?!"
Makarov thought fiercely to himself. Of course, the rebellious brat he referred to in his heart as mocking him specifically meant Laxus alone.
"Could it be that Makarov is still testing me?"
However, Precht didn't seem to feel Makarov's sincerity. He didn't directly agree to Makarov! He just narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Makarov with a hint of scrutiny.
Putting himself in Makarov's shoes, if he, Precht, were the Third Guild Master of the Fairy Tail Guild, after spending over forty years painstakingly building the Fairy Tail Guild from an inconspicuous Magic Guild in the kingdom into the strongest Magic Guild in the world, and then the former Guild Master, who had been missing for decades, suddenly reappeared, ready to take over, he would absolutely not be able to accept it either.
In fact, most people would not be able to accept it!
However, coincidentally, Makarov was one of the very few people in this world who cared little about power and always hoped that someone could take over for him so he could retire early.
"Makarov, first tell me all the current S-Class Mages in the Fairy Tail Guild."
Precht was a smart man. Before taking power, he first planned to test Makarov, this old fellow, to see if he would tell him the truth!
