Chereads / Chairman of The Magic Council / Chapter 53 - Magic Council

Chapter 53 - Magic Council

Within this grand building, there were a lot of people gathered together sitting on large round table with serious expressions. It seemed that they were discussing something in this meeting. Though, some of them were bored and picked up his nose lazily.

"Makarov, can you not act so rudely? You're one of the Ten Saints Wizards! There are a lot of people who look you up! You should act like one Ten Saints Wizards be!" One of the people within this meeting was annoyed at Makarov's action.

Even though those people were sitting at the same table, their positions were different.

On one side there were 10 people sitting with serious expressions with a lot of documents on their hands, on the other side, there were only 4 people who sat down and the rest of six chairs were emptied.

It seemed that there were only 4 people who came from their group.

Even though those people seemed to be in the same organization, the two of them seemed to be in different divisions, factions, or the organizations themselves.

"Hohoho, be easy on him. His guild is full of rascals anyway." One of the people, who sat beside Makarov appeased the situation.

"...Warrod-sama..." Makarov was speechless. He wanted to say Warrod was an ex-member of Fairy Tail, but he decided to shut his mouth. It was also the reason why he was very respectful to this man since Warrod hailed from the 1st generation of Fairy Tail.

"Anyway, we've discussed the disappearance of the hero of Rubengard, San Jiao Shin, who leads an anti-government rebellion, right? Isn't it good that he has disappeared? What else?" The small elderly man, who sat beside the person who was being called "Warrod" by Makarov, seemed very impatient.

"Calm down, Wolfheim. I'm sure that that everyone has something serious that they want to say in this meeting, right?" One man with an appearance similar to an aristocrat seemed to be very calm in this meeting. Sipping his black tea, he was waiting for the member of Magic Council to say something.

The two groups were from the same organization, the Magic Council, but they were from different entities.

The four people who talked to each other were members of Ten Wizard Saints.

The Ten Wizard Saints are ten extremely powerful and skilled Mages of the Ishgar continent. Even though there were only four people in this meeting, the presence of those four people was stronger than the 10 people on the opposite side.

The four people who appeared in this meeting were Makarov Dreyar, Warrod Sequen, Wolfheim, and Draculos Hyberion. Each of them had a very famous identity and very strong power which was enough to shake the continent. They might be old, but no one could shake their strength.

"Hahaha, of course, we won't gather the Ten Wizard Saints for such a matter, even though there are only four of you who appear at this meeting."

One of the men from the 10 people who sat opposite the members of Ten Wizard Saints talked with a laugh. His body was very fat and large.

10 of them were members of the Magic Council.

The Magic Council is the ruling body of the world of Magic, run by a combination of regular people and Mages with different hierarchy branch systems dependent on the continent.

And 10 of them were the main members of the Magic Council.

The Ishgar Magic Council occupies nine "seats," going from the 2nd to 9th. The top seat is occupied by the Chairman, effectively the leader of the entire Council, who makes the final decisions on every matter.

Magic Council and Ten Wizards Saints are from the same organization or rather the chairman of the Magic Council is the one who has granted the title of Ten Wizards Saints, but even if the chairman of the Magic Council has a power to grant the title of Ten Wizards Saints to someone, it doesn't mean that the chairman of Magic Council has a power to control the Ten Wizards Saints itself since all of the members of Ten Wizards Saints are very powerful and they're strong enough to destroy all of the members of the Magic Council alone.

The existence of Ten Wizards Saints is similar to that of a guardian or protector of the Magic Council. Ten Wizards Saints is similar to a nuclear weapon in the modern world, they're a deterrent or a secret weapon of Magic Council to keep the peace in this continent, but of course, the members of Ten Wizards Saints also receive a considerable benefit so their relationship is pretty good to each other (it should be).

"Hurry up and tell us." Wolfheim was very impatient.

"It's nothing special, but there is a movement from Alvarez Empire."

"!!!!"

"Nothing special?! This is very big problem!?" Wolfheim roared.

Everyone's expression became serious when the name of Alvarez Empire was being mentioned in the meeting.

"What's their purpose?" Warrod asked calmly.

"We're not sure about their purpose, but for now, we have sent our spies to watch them." Gran Doman, who was the chairman of the Magic Council, had a serious expression on his face and said, "But we need to prepare for the worst."

"...."

The atmosphere within the room became solemn when they heard Gran Doma's last sentence.

Prepare for the worst.

It was only a short sentence, but it had considerable meaning in this meeting.

No one in this meeting was clueless about the existence of Alvarez Empire since it was the largest which was located in the Western Continent, Alakitasia.

"Where's God Serena? This is a very important meeting yet that guy doesn't even show his face!" Wolfheim roared again.

Everyone only smiled in wry when they mentioned God Serena, they knew very well that God Serena was one of the new members of Ten Wizards Ten, but his strength was very strong or rather he might be the strongest members of Ten Wizards Ten.

"Don't worry about God Serena-sama, he has said that he's going to go to Alakitasia to visit the Alvarez Empire." Gran Doma waved his hand and knew that God Serena was on a very important mission.

Hearing the news of God Serena from Gran Doma, the members of Ten Wizards Saints felt a bit surprised.

"Alone? Really?" Makarov was surprised.

Gran Doma sighed and said, "It seems that he's curious about that place."

"..."

The main members of the Magic Council sighed once again since God Serena was a very eccentric man. It was hard to predict what that guy was thinking, if his strength wasn't strong then they might not even chose him as a member of Ten Wizards Saints.

"Hohoho... what a free spirited guy." Warrod stroked his non-existent beard and said, "Anyway, you've handled the situation of the Alvarez Empire very well, but I can see that you've brought us here for another reason, right?"

Gran Doma smiled. "As expected of Warrod-sama." He was grateful to Warrod and also knew that from all of the members of the Ten Wizards Saints, Warrod's personality was the mildest among everyone. "Yes, I've brought everyone in for another matter and that is to choose the new member of Ten Wizards Saints!"
