While the foolish youngsters of the Dark Magic Guild, Grimoire Heart, were still hyping themselves up because their Guild Master had gone to Fairy Tail alone, a major event was unfolding in Magnolia Town, within the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Second Master! Since you have returned to the Fairy Tail Guild, shouldn't we settle the score between us?!"
Just as Precht officially took over the position of Guild Master of Fairy Tail from Makarov, Gildarts silently stepped out from the crowd, approached Precht, and spoke.
"Hmm? The score between you and me?"
Precht was stunned. He looked at Gildarts, pondering deeply, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't recall when he had ever had a conflict with Gildarts.
"Heh heh…"
"Second Guild Master, you really are forgetful, aren't you?!"
"Don't you remember that rainy night sixteen years ago…?"
Gildarts' voice was very low.
To be honest, he wasn't even sure if the person who had brutally beaten him on that rainy night when he and Cornelia parted ways was indeed Precht!
After all, what Makarov said, that there was a high possibility it was Precht who hit him, was merely Makarov's speculation based on motivation!
As for his current visit, he was just taking a chance, betting on whether Precht, that old guy, would admit it or not!
If Precht admitted it…
Then Gildarts could only say sorry to this centenarian.
Indeed, Gildarts always repaid grudges a hundredfold.
"That rainy night sixteen years ago?"
Precht fell into thought upon hearing this. On that rainy night, he had broken into a certain king's palace, his sole purpose being to seize a certain magic book that the king had collected, which he considered a complete waste.
After that, in front of the king, he severely humiliated the Magic Knights guarding the palace, stating directly that what these people practiced was not magic at all, and calling it magic was an insult to the path of magic. During this, he never looked up at the king.
After that, he continuously defeated several pursuers sent by the king, among whom were powerful Magicians from professional Magic Guilds.
Could it be that Gildarts was one of those Magicians who had accepted the king's commission to pursue him back then?!
This was bad…
"Oh, oh!"
"So it was you?"
"Heh heh, once a person gets old, they forget many things."
Precht's forehead was covered in cold sweat. After sizing up Gildarts, he chuckled nervously and lightly patted Gildarts' shoulder, whispering, "How have you been lately? Has your strength improved?!"
"Heh heh heh…"
Upon hearing Precht's words, Gildarts let out a light laugh.
Hmm, there was no mistake now! The person who had mercilessly beaten him on that rainy night was indeed that old guy, Precht.
Didn't that old guy just keep mocking him, asking if his strength had improved?!
