A hidden genius... was thus revealed to Makarov.
My heart is fluttering! There's simply no way I could resist!
But... just then.
The familiar heat instantly sobered Makarov, who stared in horror at Black Natsu beside him.
He quickly reached out and pressed down on Black Natsu's right hand, which hadn't yet raised.
"You little brat, what do you think you're doing??"
Makarov was so shocked he almost cried out.
[This guy... is channeling magic! And the direction he's aiming at... is none other than Juvia, whom I just had such high hopes for?]
Moreover, Makarov truly felt it at that moment.
The killing intent emanating from Honatsu was the kind that sends chills down your spine.
This guy... really wants to kill Juvia!
Hakunazu frowned.
[He spoke in a deep voice: "President, you're aware of this woman's potential, aren't you?"]
"The ability to unconsciously trigger celestial changes—this potential is in no way inferior to that of beings like Mirajane."
"Given time, even the Ten Wizard Saints won't be able to restrain such a guy."
Makarov, of course, knew this, and therefore nodded slightly.
"But don't forget, that woman is one of Phantom's people!"
"She's the enemy."
"With an enemy possessing such potential, who knows if they might seek revenge against us in the future?"
"After all, Fairy Tail isn't just about the two of us."
"I know all that you're saying, but..." Makarov glanced at Jubia, who had her head bowed.
[He spoke with a sigh: "Our war with the Phantoms is over. To make further moves would be to truly provoke another war."]
"Besides... I can tell from this girl that she doesn't have any feelings for the Phantom Lord. Like that guy named Gajeel, she seems more lost and uncertain about the future regarding the Phantom Lord's disappearance."
"I don't think people like that would seek revenge on us for the sake of Phantom."
Makarov said.
Makarov sighed, his aged eyes fixed on Black Natsu.
"I know what you've been doing lately, and I know the benefits of doing so, so I won't blame you or make any judgments."
"Even if it were me in my younger days, I probably would have made the same choice as you."
"After all, I was just as hot-tempered when I was young, hahaha..."
Makarov chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He took a deep breath: "But ultimately, the root of the problem lies in Joseph's narrow-mindedness."
"That guy...led a group of young people into the abyss."
"If I could... I couldn't turn a blind eye to these young people who are falling into darkness."
"I can see that both Juvia and Gajeel are merely following orders, lacking their own opinions and thoughts. They only know how to execute Joseph's commands, like puppets."
"It's all because of different upbringing..."
"Therefore, we can't blame them entirely for this."
[Honatsu's restless magic gradually subsided.]
He gave Makarov a long, lingering look.
[Then she turned her gaze to Juvia: "So, does the president think there's still hope for them?"]
"They are nothing more than a group of people who don't know the future and are groping their way forward alone in the dark. If conditions permit, I hope to guide them onto the right path!" Makarov replied solemnly.
"I understand what you mean." Hennaz nodded.
"However... since we're not going to eliminate them completely, we'll have to force them to come."
"Huh?" Makarov blinked.
"Honestly, having a president like you is such a hassle."
Henna shook his head.
He then walked towards Juvia.
[Watching the man who had destroyed the guild slowly walk towards him.]
The rain poured down relentlessly, soaking his short, cherry-blossom-colored hair.
Juvia took two steps back, looking somewhat frightened.
Then, as if remembering something, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"As expected, rain is still so annoying..."
"That depends on the situation." Hanaz stopped in front of Juvia.
Looking directly at Juvia: "At certain times, rainy days can actually become one of the most wonderful sights."
Juvia stared blankly at the man in front of her.
[He kept repeating his words to himself.]
"Therefore, there's never really anything to dislike about it; any kind of weather that persists will be bothersome."
"So, don't you want to see the blue sky?"
[Juvia's heart suddenly began to race as she faced Hanets's question.]
Those words seemed to have struck a chord deep within me.
He nodded without hesitation.
"Yes! Juvia... really wants to see the blue sky, but..."
At this point, she lowered her head again, looking somewhat ashamed.
"From birth, Juvia has always been blessed with rain, and it has been all this time..."
At this point, she looked at Henna with a hint of excitement.
"Of course, just before, when you appeared on the battlefield, you shattered the dark clouds in the sky, allowing Juvia 897 to truly see the sun, although... she quickly fell into a coma."
[Honatsu crossed his arms, his lips twitching slightly.]
He then shook his head: "Do you want your life to return to normal?"
Juvia clenched her fists, pressed them to her heart, and nodded quickly.
"Come find us after the trial is over."
[With that, Henatsu turned around and said, "Oh, and let's call that guy along too."]
[With that, Henaz pointed to Gajeel not far away, then walked forward and returned to Makarov's side.]
Juvia nodded uncontrollably.
His gaze was fixed intently on HyunA's retreating figure.
[His mouth couldn't stop making muttering sounds.]
"Finally... finally Juvia has met someone who doesn't hate rain, and who doesn't hate Juvia..."
"And... his back view is just too handsome, isn't it?!"
【The other side.】
Seeing Black Natsu return, Makarov curiously approached.
"So, what exactly did you say just now?"
Hearing this, Black Natsu rolled his eyes: "Didn't I just say that?"
"Since we can't completely eradicate them, we have to find a way to turn them into our own people. To that end, I laid the groundwork for recruiting people in the past."
"The foundation for recruiting people?!" Makarov's interest was piqued.
"Tell me more about it."
"There's not much to say, it's just about building goodwill and getting her to ask us for favors. After the trial, we'll see how your eloquence works."
"Bring them over here to prevent future troubles; otherwise, we can only eliminate them physically."
[Henaz's words were calm, but the chilling undertone in them sent a shiver down Makarov's spine.]
[But he still nodded confidently: "Don't worry, with me, Old Ma, what kind of person can't I handle?"]
Chapter 238 The car wheel ran right over his face!
The trial concerning the war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord is drawing to a close.
