Chereads / Chairman of The Magic Council / Chapter 125 - Observant

Chapter 125 - Observant

When Mirajane received a reminder from Bourne that her guild was in crisis, she returned directly after saying that she would come again in the future.

"You want her to be in your harem?" Sorano asked.

"..."

---

As expected after his reminder, there was a war between Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail.

Bourne, Ur, Ultear, Meredy, Sorano, Ikaruga, and Juvia didn't join the war and quietly watched the war at their houses since he had planted a camera around Magnolia before the war and he also had sent Fukuro and Erigor together to give him a report about the battle and did a live record using the Lacrima video recorder that he had given them.

Unlike Vidaldus, both Fukuro and Erigor could fly and it was easier for both of them to become observant or cameramen during the battle between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord.

In his opinion, Bourne had a feeling that Fairy Tail would become the winner since Fairy Tail had more S-Class magicians inside their guilds and there were strong magicians such as Gildarts and Laxus.

However, it seemed during the battle, both Gildarts and Laxus were not there and Makarov could only fight against the Phantom Lord with both Erza and Mirajane.

Bourne could see how strong Erza and Mirajane were in the battle, but then he felt that both of them weren't enough to defeat the members of Phantom Lord, especially after Makarov was down after being attacked by a strange magic from one of the members of Phantom Lord.

"Fairy Tail lost," Ikaruga said.

Everyone except for Bourne nodded since they could see how hopeless Fairy Tail's situation was, especially when Phantom Lord owned a magic weapon which was known as Jupiter.

Magical Convergent Cannon: Jupiter is a powerful weapon feared by all. When fired, the cannon releases a compressed beam of energy that wreaks destruction wherever it passes.

One blast from the cannon was enough to completely destroy the city.

Bourne also owned that weapon around his residence and frankly, it was quite easy to build that kind of weapon, especially when there was no ammunition needed to use it since it absorbed the magic power in nature into a cannon blast.

In other words, it was a cheap weapon and that was why Bourne kept a lot of it.

"Bourne, what was the magic that was used on Makarov before?" Ur asked.

"That's Metsu," Bourne said.

"Metsu?"

"It's one of the most dangerous air magics and then the power of this magic is to drain all of the magic power within your body when you're being attacked by it," Bourne said.

"Isn't that magic invincible?" Sorano was surprised.

Bourne shook his head and said, "The preparation of that magic is too long and as long as you notice the caster beforehand, then this magic is useless." He looked at Aria who was the master of this magic, but he didn't think that he would be able to invite him to his group since he knew how loyal Aria was to Jose Porla.

His target had always been Gajeel, Totomaru, and Sol since the three of them were also one of the strongest magicians among Phantom Lord.

"Bourne, if Phantom Lord wins then your plan to absorb its members into our company is going to fail," Ultear said.

"You don't need to worry that the war isn't over yet." Bourne stared at the screen and said, "There might be some surprises at the end of the battle."

"Bourne-sama, do you think Fairy Tail is going to win?" Ikaruga asked.

"That probability is high, especially when Erza is being loved by two council members on the Magic Council." Bourne looked at Ikaruga and said, "Do you think those two men are going to be silent when their loved one is attacked by Phantom Lord, right?"

"Wow, so it is a triangle love, Bourne-sama?" Juvia was a bit surprised by this news.

"Yes." Bourne nodded and said, "It's a love triangle."

"Once again, Fairy Tail is being saved by a woman," Sorano said while shaking her head.

"What's wrong with a woman? I know that there are a lot of strong women beside me, right?" Bourne said.

They quickly smiled when they heard Bourne's words and really wanted to hug him for a moment, though, Ultear and Ur hugged him directly which caused Ikaruga, Juvia, and Sorano to become jealous.

Then suddenly they received a sound transmition from Erigor.

"Boss."

"What's wrong, Erigor?"

"Should we stay any longer here? The battle has been decided."

"Not yet," Bourne said without hesitation. His eyes turned sharp and said, "Fairy Tail still has a lot of secrets. Watch them until the battle ends."

"Yes!"

Erigor wasn't sure, but he decided to believe in Bourne's words since he had never seen Bourne wrong with his decision.

Bourne knew that all out of guilds within this country, Fairy Tail was the oldest among them. He had a feeling that this guild wasn't that simple.

"You sure have a lot of trust in this guild," Ur said.

"Just watch for now since it is a rare chance to watch a fight between two Legal Guilds after all," Bourne said. He was sure that the Magic Council would be busy after the battle ended, but he didn't care much since it was their job to maintain the regularity of guilds in this continent.

Then as expected, the battle continued with unexpected development since Erza blocked the blast from Jupiter using her defensive armor then suddenly they saw Natsu who was being beaten before winning against Gajeel who should be stronger than himself.

Bourne raised his eyebrow and wondered why Natsu was able to win since he knew himself how weak Natsu was compared to Gajeel.

'Feelings?'

Bourne thought about such a conceptual reason, but he felt that it was the most reasonable one.

Then when everyone was surprised by Natsu who became stronger all of sudden, they knew the battle was far from over since Jose Porla was standing before all the members of Fairy Tail.

Bourne didn't understand the members of Fairy Tail, but there was still a long distance between the power of members of Fairy Tail and one of the members of Ten Saints Wizards.

Jose Porla was ready to end them, however, Makarov had returned and directly used the strongest magic in Fairy Tail.

"Fairy Law!" Makarov shouted and sent out this magic to Jose Porla!

When the magic was cast, they closed their eyes since it was so blinding.

Bourne kept watching and frowned since he didn't expect the power of "Fairy Law" would be so powerful and the development of the war ended not with how he was predicted.

---

Fukuro and Erigor were stunned when they saw the power of "Fairy Law" and they could only stay in their hiding for a while since this power was so stunning!

"Fukuro. Erigor."

Then suddenly they quickly woke up when they heard this voice.

"Yes, Boss!" 2x

"If possible try to invite Totomaru and Sol into your group," Bourne said.

"What about Gajeel?" Erigor asked since he knew how powerful Gajeel was.

"You can try."

"Yes, Boss!" 2x

Fukuro and Erigor smiled and thought that their group would become even stronger soon.
