Gildarts was a little puzzled.
"Remote?"
He looked left and right. Besides mountains and rocks, there was no grass or vegetation at all. He couldn't help but nod.
"It is quite remote."
"Speaking of which, why did you come here, kid?"
"Is this kid your new apprentice?"
Gar shook his head and said.
"No, he's preparing to join Fairy Tail."
"He already has a master."
"As for why we came here..."
"Of course, it was to find you."
Gildarts was startled and said.
"Find me?"
"Did something happen to the Guild?"
"It shouldn't have."
"Although Ivan's strength isn't great, the Old Man is still there."
"What could possibly happen?"
The corner of Gar's mouth twitched slightly.
"He's the Old Man's son, after all. Give him some face."
"You make him sound like some kind of mob."
Gildarts spread his hands and said indifferently.
"You're not unaware."
"That guy has a problem with his head and always targets me."
"I haven't offended him in any way."
Gar couldn't help but sigh, not knowing what to say.
The matter of Gildarts and Ivan not getting along.
He had known about it since he joined Fairy Tail.
Ivan was usually fine.
But when facing Gildarts, he was like a different person.
He would target him with all sorts of sarcastic remarks. Even Gildarts, who was thick-skinned, could tell something was off. He tolerated it once or twice, giving the Old Man some face.
After a long time, Gildarts couldn't stand it anymore.
They resolved it through battle.
Although the result of the battle is unknown.
But most people knew without needing to say it, after all, Gildarts' Magic was the Super Upper-Level Destruction Magic - Crush, while Ivan's Magic was Illusion Magic.
Illusion Magic works against ordinary Magicians.
But against a monster like Gildarts...
Since that battle with an unknown result, the two of them have never appeared in the Guild at the same time again.
And the Old Man, Makarov, was caught in the middle, which was very awkward.
The most important thing was that he also couldn't figure out why the two of them were like this, why Ivan would target Gildarts so much.
As Gar's time in the Guild grew longer, he gradually understood the personalities of the two.
He roughly guessed why Ivan had become like that.
If it were the plot from his previous life, it would probably be the relationship between Song Qingshu and Zhang Wuji.
Ivan himself, as Makarov's son and an S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail, would naturally become the Guild Master of Fairy Tail during this time when there was a shortage of new Fairy Tail members, as long as he followed the established path.
But one day, a powerful Gildarts (Zhang Wuji) suddenly joined. Not only could his strength easily Crush him, but he was also more popular than him.
Ivan (Song Qingshu), as Makarov's son and an S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail, the legitimate successor of Fairy Tail, couldn't stand it emotionally all of a sudden. But he still couldn't defeat Gildarts, so he could only resort to sarcasm.
But Gildarts tolerated it once or twice. After all, his strength was a crushing existence compared to Ivan. When the number of provocations increased, he couldn't tolerate it anymore.
He directly used a crushing battle to break Ivan's spirit.
Could Ivan be willing?
Unwilling.
He, as the son of Fairy Tail's third Guild Master, an S-Class Mage, and the legitimate successor of Fairy Tail, was actually defeated by someone who came in halfway.
He instantly fell into a state of madness, beginning to pursue the strongest power, infinite power.
However, the good thing is that compared to that Song Qingshu, Ivan now has a son who is distracting him.
He has put half of his attention into solving Laxus's physical problems.
And as Ivan travels to the South Continent to find the magic crystal made from the Thunder Dragon's heart, Laxus, the concern that ties up his mind, is also about to disappear.
At that time, it will truly be a showdown between Song Qingshu and Zhang Wuji.
Ultimately, no matter the outcome, one of them will definitely leave the Guild.
The key is that this matter cannot be resolved through persuasion.
According to Ivan's personality and pride, the Old Man trying to persuade him would only add fuel to the fire. Even his father doesn't believe he can surpass Gildarts, which would likely cause Ivan to go completely dark.
If they tried to persuade Gildarts, even if Gildarts agreed to tolerate it and give way to Ivan in everything, it would only make Ivan believe that Gildarts was looking down on him and underestimating him, also greatly increasing the possibility of Ivan going dark on the spot....
If Makarov directly passed the position to Ivan, Ivan wouldn't agree either. Gildarts is so strong, you don't pass it to him, but to me? What do you mean? He would immediately go dark....
The personalities of difficult people are just that unsolvable.
In fact, if things had followed the established path, with Gildarts' personality, it would have been impossible for him to become the Guild Master.
The position of Guild Master would eventually fall to Ivan.
But Ivan's pride could not accept that outcome.
From a young age, he was a favored son of heaven, adorned with countless halos, suddenly one day he was defeated in a crushing manner by a wild kid from the countryside.
In this situation.
Either he breaks out of his cocoon and becomes a butterfly, or he falls into madness.
Let him pick up what someone else left behind?
It would be better to kill him....
