If Makarov told him the truth, it would prove that Makarov was not deceiving him, and Makarov truly intended to give him the Guild Master position.
If Makarov didn't tell him the truth, the meaning was self-evident.
"Makarov, let me take a good look. Is there any difference between the list of active S-Class Mages in the Fairy Tail Guild that you speak of, and the list of active S-Class Mages in the Fairy Tail Guild that I investigated?"
Precht silently watched Makarov, thinking to himself.
"Uh…"
"Currently, our guild has five active S-Class Mages…"
"No! No, that's wrong, there are eight in total."
Hearing this, Makarov immediately spread out his fingers and started calculating.
"Hmm? Eight people?!"
Precht was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Why was this number completely different from what he had investigated?! Precht had originally thought that Makarov would hide one or two S-Class Mages to use as a trump card.
As it turned out, according to Makarov, their Fairy Tail Guild's S-Class Mages not only had no intention of hiding, but there were even two more than the S-Class Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild that Grimoire Heart had investigated?
"They are Medivh, Gildarts Clive, Ul Milkovich, Laxus Dreyar, Eileen Belserion, Erza Belserion, Ere Belserion, and Selene."
Makarov did not hide anything. In front of Precht, he listed all the active S-Class Mages in the guild for him to hear.
"Wait…"
"What's going on with this Belserion Family?"
"The guild has eight S-Class Mages in total, and their family accounts for three?"
Precht seemed to have discovered a blind spot. He narrowed his eyes…
Hmm, even Precht's right eye, covered by his eye patch, narrowed at this moment.
At this moment, Precht's heart was full of doubt. Eight S-Class Mages in a guild, and this Belserion Family alone occupied three positions. Wouldn't the Fairy Tail Guild become theirs, the Belserion Family's?
"You misunderstood…"
"The Belserion Family did not occupy three S-Class Mage positions."
Makarov saw Precht's furrowed brows and knew in his heart that his teacher must have misunderstood Medivh's family.
"Oh?!"
"I see, are they just sharing the same surname?"
Precht breathed a sigh of relief, he had thought these three Belserions were a family!
"I mean..."
"Their family doesn't just occupy three spots, but five."
Just as Precht relaxed...
Makarov's single sentence almost made him spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"What?!"
"Five spots?" Precht stared, looking at Makarov, utterly shocked.
"Eileen Belserion and Selene are Medivh's wives, and Erza Belserion and Ere Belserion are Medivh's children!"
"Speaking of which, Medivh's full name should actually be Medivh Belserion. I heard him say before that Eileen was a queen of some country, and Medivh married into her family..."
Makarov stroked his chin, starting to gossip.
Hmm, marrying into a family isn't shameful, especially since there's truly a throne to inherit after marrying in.
But, it seems Medivh never changed his surname?
Could it be...
Medivh is freeloading in a strong way?!
Makarov seemed to have discovered a key point once again.
"Five?"
"One guild, eight S-Class Mages, and his family occupies five of them?"
"Makarov, are you crazy?"
"Are you just going to stand by and watch the Bellserion Family dominate the entire Fairy Tail Guild? From now on, will Fairy Tail listen to the Bellserion Family, or to us, the two guild masters?"
Precht's eye twitched slightly; he no longer knew what to say. A guild with a total of eight S-Class Mages, and one family occupies five of them. Won't this Magic Guild become someone else's?
"Uh..."
"What domination, or no domination..."
"As for Medivh, he is currently the strongest Mage in the Fairy Tail Guild."
Makarov began to introduce Medivh's identity.
"The strongest Mage in Fairy Tail? Shouldn't that be Gildarts..."
Precht was stunned for a moment. He remembered that the information he had gathered indicated that the strongest Mage in Fairy Tail, and even the Fiore Kingdom, should be Gildarts.
"No, no, no! Gildarts lost to Medivh."
"If we were to rank all active and inactive S-Class Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild, the first should be Medivh, the second Gildarts, the third Ur, the fourth Senior Warrod, the fifth Erza, and the sixth Laxus."
Makarov rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment before continuing.
"Wait, what about Eileen, Selene, and Ere?!"
"Why aren't these three on the ranking list?"
Precht looked at Makarov, asking in confusion.
"Uh..."
"Because Ere is a Dragon!"
"As for Selene, she is also a Dragon! It is said that she is quite famous in the North Continent Kiltina, where the locals refer to her as a 'God,' claiming she possesses power comparable to that of deities! She is known as the 'Moon God Dragon' Selene."
