Chapter 67 Id: What do you mean that in order to defeat the monsters, we had to blow up the docks? (Part Two)
"What do you mean by that?"
Gildarts frowned deeply. Knowing Id as he did, whenever Id wore that ambiguous smile, there was always some kind of disaster waiting for him.
"You'll find out when you get back to the guild."
Ide smiled slightly, but meant he didn't offer any explanation.
"You bastard—"
Gildarts wanted to ask something else, but he knew in his heart that if Id didn't want to tell him, no matter how he asked, Id wouldn't say.
"alright."
"Next, we need to deal with the prison break incident."
As he spoke, Id turned his gaze to the fugitives released by Dorram.
"Well."
"We surrender."
The fugitives raised their hands above their heads in a French military salute.
Don't be ridiculous, they don't want to fight monsters like Id and Gildarts.
"Id, Gildarts, thank you for your help to our magical prison BLACKVOX."
"If you ever need our help in the future, just let me know."
Toki Anderba, as a member of the Magic Council's ERA and the warden of the magical prison BLACKVOX, assured Id and Gildarts.
"Brother Toki."
"When the council holds the Fairy Tail criticism meeting next time, remember to go easy on our guild leader and say a few good words for him."
Id put his arm around Toki Andba's shoulder and whispered.
"There is certainly no problem with that."
Toki Anderba nodded slightly, indicating that he could handle everything.
"alright."
"That should not be delayed."
"It's time for us to start afresh."
After finishing his conversation with Toki Anderba, Id continued on his journey with Gray and Gildarts.
"Go back to the guild?!"
At this moment, Gildarts was still pondering the deeper meaning behind Id's words. He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was calculating the pros and cons.
"So what have you thought, Gildarts?"
Id looked at Gildarts, who was still thinking, and asked.
"I haven't been back to the guild for a long time."
"Then let's go back together."
"But before that, you'll have to come with me to Monet to eliminate a blind monster."
Gildarts took a mission sheet out of his backpack and handed it to Id.
"Shall we defeat the monster Unicol?"
After thinking for a moment, Id handed the mission sheet to Gray, who was standing next to him, and said, "Gray, this is your first mission: defeat the monster Unicol."
"Slaying monsters?!"
Gray took the task sheet from Id and examined it carefully.
"Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask you this since earlier, Id."
"Who exactly is this brat who's been following you around?"
"Could he be your illegitimate child or something?"
"Hahaha————"

Gildarts then noticed Gray, who had been following Ido. He had initially thought Gray was just an ordinary kid, but after hearing Ido and Gray's interaction, he realized that Gray and Ido knew each other. So he patted Ido on the shoulder and teased him.
"This is my new apprentice, Gray."
Idris explained.
"Is this the apprentice you took on?"
"Ide, when did your taste become so bad?"
Gildarts turned his gaze to Gray, scrutinized him for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I see absolutely nothing about this brat that could be considered exceptionally talented."
"Ice-Style Spear!"
Gray smiled without saying a word, and with a wave of his hand, he released an ice spear at Gildarts, piercing through Gildarts' cloak.
"That's dangerous, you little brat."
"How can you use this kind of magic on an elder?"
Gildarts panicked for a moment, then punched Gray on the head and said angrily.
"it hurts."
"Who do you think you are, elder? How awful!"
After taking Gildarts' punch, Gray squeezed out a tear from the corner of his eye.
"Grey is a genius in magical transformations."
"It has only been less than a month since he first came into contact with the magic of creation and cultivated it to his current level."
Ide stood aside, watching the two playfully bickering, and explained.
"?"
"Has this child only been exposed to magic for less than a month?"
"If that's the case, then he is indeed very talented."
Gildarts was taken aback. He had thought Gray was Id's apprentice whom he had taken in during his seclusion!
"Little brat."
"Would you like to become my apprentice?"
"The 'Crush' magic I use is many times more powerful than Id's 'Shattering' magic."
After sensing the magical power within Gray that was in no way inferior to that of some senior mages, Gildarts began to plot to poach him.
"I would never become your disciple."
"My master, Ide, is enough."
Gray looked at Gildarts with disgust and stuck his tongue out at him with a "little little little" sound.
"You brat, you're truly detestable."
Gildarts was now certain that he and Gray were simply incompatible.
"However, Gray."
"What Gildarts said earlier wasn't wrong; the supreme-level destructive magic he possesses, 'Shattering Magic,' is indeed a spell of immense power."
"Although Gildarts is a bit of a bastard and a bit of a beast, his strength is no joke."
Ido explained to Gray the magic used by Gildarts.
"Supreme-level Destruction Magic—Crush?!"
Gray was clearly hearing about this magic for the first time, and he looked surprised.
"Yes."
"Strictly speaking, shattering has transcended the scope of ordinary magic and belongs to the realm of super magic."
"Therefore, Gildarts is the only person in the entire Fairy Tail guild who uses super magic as basic magic."
Id continued to add.
"Is Gildarts really that powerful?"
Gray never expected that the disheveled, homeless-looking man beside him would possess such formidable strength!
"I'm very happy that you praised me objectively, Id."
"But I always feel like you're taking this opportunity to insult me."
Gildarts stood behind Id and the more he listened, the more something seemed off.
For some reason, Gildarts always felt that Id praised him specifically to say that he was a "bastard" and a "beast".
"You're overthinking it, Gildarts."
Id smiled but didn't say anything more.
Two weeks later.
The coastal city of Monnet.
"alright."
"Go and defeat the monster Unicol, Gray."
"As for me, I'm going to take a good nap."
"A month-long journey has exhausted me."

With that, Id sent Gray to Gildarts and headed towards the inn.
"Unicol?!"
Gray clenched his fists, secretly vowing to take it down cleanly.
"Let's make it clear first."
"I never said I was going to give this mission to you, Gray."
Gildarts looked at Gray, who was eager to try, and said this.
"?!"
Gray paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Let's have a competition, Gildarts! Let's see who completes the mission of defeating Unicol first."
"ha?"
Why should I compete with a brat like you?
Gildarts said unhappily.
"What? Are you afraid of losing to me, Gildarts!"
Gray smiled. In the days they had spent together, he had figured out Gildarts's temperament and personality, and could easily control him.
"What a joke! You think I'd lose to a brat like you?"
Gildarts's eyes twitched slightly, and he said coldly, "Fine, then so be it! Let's see who finishes their monster-slaying mission first!"
"But if you lose, Gray, you have to shout 'Gildarts is the strongest in the world' three times towards the sky!"
Gildarts's lips curled into a slight smile as he said this, "How can gambling be without some kind of bonus?!"
"If you lose, you must shout three times that your strength is far inferior to my master, Ide."
Gray wasn't stupid; he wasn't going to fall for Gildarts's tricks. So he immediately made up for the price Gildarts would have to pay for his defeat.
"Tsk."
"You're quite clever, kid."
"Now I know why Id took you as his apprentice."
Looking at Gray's intelligent demeanor, Gildarts felt a little tempted. To be honest, he even had the idea of taking on a disciple for fun.
It's a deal.
With that in mind, Gildarts agreed to the bet with Gray.
"it is good."
It's a deal.
Gray clenched his fists and said eagerly.
In the hotel.
After taking a hot bath, Id lay down on the soft bed. The journey of more than a month had left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he soon fell into a drowsy state.
"That Gray guy should be able to take down Unicol easily, right?"
"Never mind, Gildarts is watching over us anyway, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Originally, Ide was a little worried about Gray's safety. After all, Unicol was a famous A-rank magical beast, and only a mage with magic power at the fourth or fifth level as rated by the system could possibly defeat it. Gray had been training for almost two months and had only just reached about the third level as rated by the system. But when Ide thought of Gildarts beside Gray, he fell asleep peacefully.
until.
"boom!"
A piercing roar woke Id from his sleep. After dressing, he opened the hotel window and asked the passersby outside, "What happened?"
"The dock was blown up."
In response, passersby pointed to the dock billowing black smoke not far away and said this.
"Are you kidding me?"
After hearing what the passerby said, Ido unleashed his full Observation Haki, covering the entire city.
With Ido's powerful Observation Haki, he spotted Gildarts and Gray, who were riding a speedboat across the sea with a pair of adorable sisters. Behind them were a group of menacing-looking pursuers, also riding speedboats.
Id: "Kildarts and Gray, I really hope the explosion at the docks had nothing to do with either of you."
