The entire Fiore tried to forget that horrific day. Normally any scandal involving the councillors will be published in newspapers and will be discussed by the people for a lot of days, even weeks or months if the information is interesting.
But it seems like there was a collective decision made so that nobody can ever mention that incident ever again. There was said to be an influx in people searching for memory erasing magicians throughout the country as well. Doranbolt in the council was cursing Karna because of the extra jobs he had to take to fix the mental health of most of the members in the knight order.
Inside Makarov's office
Makarov and Karna has been sitting inside the office while not speaking anything for some time. Karna while coming to the guild had seen the depressed faces of many people of the city and knew he had messed up big time. And as soon as he entered the guild, the other guild members had told him to go to the guildmaster's office immediately and a few of them showed the same expression they showed when Erza was angry with them.
Feeling enough time has passed Makarov decided to start talking
"Listen kid, I understand that you were angry, but did you really have to strip them naked. Just tying up in that circle would have been enough right"
"gramps trust me when I say this, I only knew about the weakening effect of the rope. I had no idea about the stripping part"
Makarov shivered when he remembered what he saw. It was lucky that there were only a few of those Lacrima's and none of them were near hospitals or schools. If it was, the result would have been disastrous to old age patients, newborn and young children.
Karna can only sigh seeing Makarov's reaction. Even he agrees what he had done had crossed a line that should not have been crossed.
Makarov was rubbing his temples with the headache he was feeling.
"well, I'll make sure to say that you had no idea about the enchantment that strips the clothes to the people left in the council. The chances of them pardoning this are low but the best you will get is a ban of doing missions for half a year or something. But for now, make sure to keep out of trouble and stay in your home for a few days"
Makarov advised
"alright" Karna agreed to it as well.

In another side of the world Guild Tartarus
Mard Geer was feeling extremely tense about the new circumstances that has been born. Right now, he was in the cloning tanks made to revive the demons of the book of Zeref. But now what ever he does, the demons of the flute of Lullaby are not being reborn. If the cloning machine is not working, the problems are either that the demon is still alive or that the demon is trapped inside their book.
Even though Lullaby was trapped inside a flute, he also had a book as well. The books are cores of the demons created by Zeref, so that even if the demon is destroyed, if the book is still there, there is a chance of their revival.
But the case of Lullaby was unprecedented, the demon's book had disappeared, no more like they ceased to exist. Mard Geer was sitting in the room when it happened, and he had gotten a front row view to the way it had happened.
Mard Geer had used his connections to know what had happened to Lullaby in the mainland and had found out that the demon was destroyed. But the method of destruction was not specified in the reports he had received. So, he had tried to use the cloning tanks to revive the demon, but it was of no avail. This had made him suspicious that the greatest masterpiece of their master END had risen.
Mard Geer knew that Zeref cared for END more than the other demons and he had made END with the end goal of killing Zeref so the chances of END having the power to erase demons from existence are very high. So, Mard Geer checked the book of End he had with him, but found out the book was in the same state it was always in, showing that the demon had not yet awakened from wherever it was imprisoned.
He had used the cloning tank to double check whether the demon can be brought back again but it failed. This only cemented the horrific realisation that he had come to.
A human had made a magic that can erase them. This greatly increased his fear. The subsequent immortality of the demons was one of the trump cards that he was banking on. But the fact that they can be killed completely without any sort of chance of revival has completely derailed his plans.
"is the plan I made for the future not viable enough, or should I plan to make it more destructive. The humans might have developed a method to kill us, and if one person had created it, the chances of others creating it are very high"
Mard Geer began to plan for the future troubles he would face.

At the time at Lucy's place
"Lucy let's go to the S class quest and show them we are strong enough to take S class missions"
At the time, Natsu and Happy were coercing Lucy to come along with them to face the S class quest in Galuna island without Master's permission.

At the council, two of the four gods of Ishgar
Wolfheim was getting migraines remembering the problems he had to sweep under the rug. Not only did the idiots in the council use the wrong method top warn the wizard guilds of their excessive violence, but they also tried to make an example out of one of the most important person in all of Ishgar.
And the way the boy retaliated is also something that gives more headache. Wolfheim can't believe that he is saying this but, the kid's doing being so horrifying to many people had made it easier to control these problems.
He was not able to know how he should feel in this situation.
