Chapter 54 - Rumor

The new member of Ten Wizards Saints!

Everyone's expression became curious since they wanted to know who would become the new members of Ten Wizards Saints.

Ten Wizards Saints have 10 quotas of members and if a magician can be chosen as a member of Ten Wizards Saints, it means something special. In simple terms, if a magician is chosen as a member of Ten Wizards Saint then it is meant that magician is being acknowledged as one of the strongest magicians in this continent.

In a world where strength matters, this name brings a lot of benefit and prestige.

"So who is the new member?" Makarov was also curious. He was wondering who would become the new member.

"Org, please." Gran Doma gave this matter to other members of the Magic Council."

Org nodded while stroking his beard calmly. "Please see the document in front of you."

All of the people who came to this meeting took the documents on each

"As everyone knows, we have one spot for Ten Wizards Saints and there are a lot of candidates." Org started to explain each of the candidates for the spot of Ten Wizards Saints.

Hearing the name which was being listed by Org, everyone frowned, but they didn't say anything. However, they were clearly dissatisfied with the level of candidates which was being listed by Org. They didn't have that much of a wish, but at least, the member of Ten Wizards Saints should have enough power to not tarnish their reputation since previously one of the members of Ten Wizards Saints had lost against someone which made this organization lose its prestige.

Even thought they could save the prestige of this organization by removing this magician from the organization, they knew that they needed to choose more wisely.

The four members of the Ten Wizards Saints who came to this meeting didn't have that much of a requirement for the new members. Their only requirement was pretty simple and that was the magician who was chosen should have enough strength to hold this title of Ten Wizards Saints and this magician also wasn't a criminal. Even if the name of this magician wasn't as loud as them, they didn't care much since there were also a lot of strong magicians who were staying as a hermit such as Warrod who was the 4th strongest magicians in Ten Wizards Saints.

Warrod's name might have been famous in the past, but for this generation, no one really knew about him and he had been living in a very desolate place alone which made his reputation forgotten in the continent, but it didn't mean that he had lost his strength. He was very strong and because of that he could hold the position of the 4th strongest magicians in Ten Wizards Saints.

Org kept explaining about the power of the candidates of the Magic Council, but he also felt quite dissatisfied with the members which were chosen since the power of the candidates was only so-so. He kept talking, but his face also felt bored since he knew that someone had made their decision.

"I don't have time to listen to the names of those mob characters." Wolfheim gritted his teeth and asked, "The ten of you must have made your decision, right? Just tell us, who is it?"

Gran Doma nodded and said, "Yes, Wolfheim-sama, we've chosen the new member."

"Who is it? Hurry up!"

"It's Jose Porla."

"....."

Hearing that name, the members of Ten Wizards Saints who were inside this meeting had various expressions.

Warrod was as calm as a plant, Draculos was sipping his black tea calmly, Wolfheim was confused, and Makarov frowned.

"Who?" Wolfheim had never heard of this name.

"Jose Porla is the guild master of Phantom Lord guild." Gran Doma looked at Makarov and said, "Makarov-sama should know this name, right?"

Makarov snorted and asked, "Why should you choose this guy? His strength isn't enough to become one of the Ten Wizards Saints."

"Makarov, are you going to bring the argument between your guild and Jose Porla's guild to our meeting?"

One of the members of the Magic Council with a small stature and an appearance similar to a cat smirked looking at Makarov.

Makarov knew that there were a lot of Magic Council members who hated his guild, but he didn't care much. He ignored this cat looking guy and said, "I'll test him if you don't mind. Let's see whether his strength is enough to become one of us or not."

"No, we've tested his strength and he should be good enough to fill the empty spot of the Ten Wizards Saints." Another elderly man interjected Makarov.

Most of the members of the Magic Council agreed to make Jose Porle become one of the members of the Magic Council since Jose Porle had given them considerable benefit and even thought the strength of Jose Porle wasn't that much different from the other candidates, Jose Porle was the only one who had taken an initiative to meet them. Of course, they had a good impression of Jose Porle and had given him a promise to give him a place in Ten Wizards Saints.

"Makarov, what about Gildarts in your guild? His strength should be enough to enter the Ten Wizards Saints, right?" Yajima, one of the members of the Magic Council, suggested Gildarts as a member of Ten Wizards Saints.

"No!"

Some of the members rejected without hesitation. They knew very well how strong Gildarts was since this magician was very famous, but if this person was chosen then the balance of power within Magic Council would lean toward Fairy Tail since there were two members of Fairy Tail in Ten Wizards Saints. Most of them didn't want to see that and wanted to limit the power of Fairy Tail.

Makarov sighed and said, "I don't think that he's going to accept it. That guy is too free and his reputation is.... you know...." If possible he also wanted to make Gildarts a member of Ten Wizards Saints, but he was sure that guy didn't want such a position.

Hearing Makarov's words, everyone twitched their lips since they knew how bad Gildart's reputation was.

"Hahaha, your guild has always been lively." Warrod laughed heartily.

"..." Makarov was speechless.

Warrod smiled and asked, "Right, have you heard about a rumor?"

"Rumor?"

Everyone was attracted to Warrod since it was very rare for Warrod to say something.

"Yeah, I've heard a very fun rumor."

"What rumor?" Even Wolfheim was interested.

"I've heard that there was a huge ice broccoli that appeared in one of the towns in Fiore. Have you heard about it?" Warrod asked.

"Huge ice broccoli?!"

Hearing such a ridiculous rumor, some of them didn't believe it, but it was coming from the mouth of Warrod which meant that this rumor might be true.

"What do you want to tell us?" Wolfheim asked what Warrod's point was.

"I mean there's a magician who can create such a huge ice broccoli, don't you feel that magician is suitable to become the member of Ten Saints Wizards?" Warrod said with a smile.

"...."

"It's only size, it can't mean anything." One of the members of the Magic Council refuted.

"Then can you create such a huge thing using your puny magic power?" Warrod asked.

"....."

"I feel that this person is suitable, but I'm not sure who this person is." Warrod rubbed his chin and added, "If possible, can the Magic Council try to use their power to find the magicians who have created that huge ice broccoli?"

Wolfheim nodded and said, "I agree. If this person is really what Warrod has described then there's nothing wrong with making him into one of our members."

"I don't mind either." Makarov nodded since he felt that it was better to let Jose become member of Ten Saints Wizards.

Hearing the answer of three members of Ten Wizards Saints, they knew that the new member of Ten Wizards Saints had almost been chosen. Even the one who could grant the title of Ten Wizards Saints was chairman of Magic Council, but if the members of Ten Wizards Saints didn't agree with this decision then the Magic Council could do nothing.

"Calm down." Draculos who had been silent put down his tea cup and said, "It is only a rumor after all, and we can't waste the resources of this organization to find this magician when the rumor hasn't been confirmed."

Hearing Draculos's words, the members of Magic Council felt better.

"But what if that magician appears right outside of the headquarters?" Warrod asked.

"Then if that happens, let me see that huge ice broccoli." Draculos continued to sip his black tea, but suddenly the door of the room opened.

"E... Excuse me... Sir..." One of the members of Magic Council seemed to breathe very hard and there was a trace of panic on his face.

"This is an important meeting, what are you doing!!" One of the members of Magic Council was furious at the rude action of this person.

"Calm down." Gran Doma calmed the situation and said, "He wouldn't disturb our meeting unless there is something important, right?"

"R, report, sir!" This person saluted and said, "T, there's a giant ice broccoli outside the headquarters!"

"....."

They blinked their eyes for a while before shouting, "WHAT?!"
