Joseph Paula was certainly not crazy, nor did he have time to be. He was busy healing his wounds and was in a "do not mention" state, but his men were.
Gajeel spent the entire week in Magnolia, not chasing after Moen, but choosing to take a different path.
Moen defeated their guild master, Joseph Pora, making their Ghost Dominators a laughingstock throughout the Kingdom of Fiore, and even threatening to become a laughingstock across the entire continent of Ishgar.
Then all he has to do is retaliate and defeat the Fairy Tail guild master, right? There's no need to defeat Moen at all!
It must be said that Gajeel's idea was brilliant and completely flawless.
However, it is a little difficult to implement.
Gajeel arrived at the Fairy Tail guild hall, but before he could even see the guild master, he was surrounded by a group of children.
This guy, who was clamoring to challenge Moen and Guild Master Makarov, naturally aroused the hostility of everyone.
Natsu took the lead and immediately started fighting Gajeel. For some reason, Natsu felt an urge to beat Gajeel up whenever he saw him.
Wendy, watching from the sidelines, really wanted to intervene and break up the fight. Of course, she wouldn't actually do it at this point. Gajeel had immediately started yelling that he would beat Moeng to a pulp, which made Wendy very unhappy. This guy was so rude!
But for some reason, Wendy felt a strong sense of déjà vu about the scene before her, as if she had seen Natsu and Gajeel fight before, even though these two were meeting for the first time.
On Gajeel's first day at Fairy Tail, he fought Natsu all day, and the result was a draw.
This was a huge blow to Gajeel, who had come to challenge Moen and the guild master of Fairy Tail! Instead, he ended up fighting to a standstill with some unknown pink-haired bastard!
What does this equate to?
They came here to fight the boss, but before they even saw the boss, they ended up fighting with the minions, and the fight got really intense!
That night, Gajeel stayed at the hotel, pondering all night, unable to understand why things were progressing so differently from what he had expected!
What happened to the promise of becoming famous with a single punch like that Moen?!
However, Gajeel did not give up. The next day, he still went to the Fairy Tail guild hall to shout.
Natsu once again took to the battlefield and clashed with Gajeel. The two "Supreme Ones" fought fiercely, their very paths nearly extinguished.
The result was, of course, a draw, which made everyone who had come specifically to watch the spectacle lose interest – what a bunch of noobs fighting each other.
In Gray's words, Gajeel's strength was such that "he couldn't even beat the weakest one among them."
Gray, who previously defeated Natsu in a one-on-one duel, certainly has the right to say such things; at this stage, he is indeed stronger than Natsu.
After all, Gray received Moen's hammer and chains from a young age, and Erza's beatings a year earlier than Natsu, so he would naturally be stronger than Natsu.
However, once Gray uttered those words, he was inevitably drawn into the conflict, something Natsu certainly couldn't tolerate.
In the end, the battle turned into a chaotic free-for-all between Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel.
Gajeel's antics have added new laughs to Phantom Lord jokes.
The guild leader was humiliated, and the only person who came to avenge him was a child. That was bad enough, but everyone thought this child was a prodigy like Moen. However, he ended up fighting a fierce battle with some unknown henchmen from Fairy Tail.
This twist was truly outrageous, leaving everyone completely baffled, and naturally, it became a source of amusement and was spread around again.
As a result, Natsu and Gray's names also spread, and neither of them ever expected to become famous in this way.
Once this incident escalated, the "Three Elements" who had come with Gajeel couldn't hold back any longer; they hadn't expected things to develop this way.
But at this point, they had no other choice but to step forward, because if they didn't, they would be subjected to a barrage of insults. As celebrities among the Phantom Lords, these "three elements" were naturally the ones who would be the most severely criticized.
Even a little guy dares to come looking for revenge against Fairy Tail. Are the other mages of Phantom Lord all spineless?
Faced with such doubts, the "Three Elements" could not tolerate it any longer. They showed up directly, expressing their desire to see the strength of the person who defeated their leader. They had no other intention than to learn from him.
It sounds rather unpleasant to hear that three adults are causing trouble for a child, but if it's Moen, then it makes perfect sense. After all, Moen even defeated their guild master, the "Ten Wizards of the Ages" Joseph Pora.
The "Three Elements" said they wanted to learn from Moen, which was absolutely right. They lowered their stance and acknowledged Moen's achievements first. This move is called retreating to advance!
It's okay to admit it now, as long as they defeat Moen in the end, then everything before will naturally be null and void.
It has to be said that this was a really good idea.
It can attack or defend, the only problem is...
"If we lose."
Rabbit Maru felt a chill run down his spine if they ultimately lost.
Even if their leader really did fall for Moen's trick by accident, it's still a matter of "mud falling on your pants, even if it's not shit, it's still shit," since even their own people have accepted this outcome.
Unless Joseph Paula can fight Mohn again and wash away his humiliation.
But there's nothing they can do. The current situation doesn't allow them to think too much. And to put it another way, if they are all defeated, at least they won't lose face. After all, even their leader has been defeated. If the sky falls, the leader will be there to hold it up.
When things came to this, the only option was to sacrifice a friend rather than oneself; after all, the "Three Elements" would still need to continue their line of work.
"So, a whole bunch of people have come to see what's going on, right?"
Listening to the stories told by the enthusiastic citizens, Moen finally understood what had happened this week, and his expression was priceless.
No wonder he felt there were a lot of people at the station today; it turns out they were all there to watch the excitement. The three elements of Phantom Lord had already declared they would wait for him to return and challenge him, and now the three of them had set up a duel at Fairy Tail.
Is Moengo in danger?
Juvia was confused and didn't understand the whole story. She only understood that three people had come to cause trouble for Moen.
This worried Juvia a lot, as the three guys sounded quite powerful, claiming to be some kind of "Three Elements".
"Don't worry, it's nothing."
Moen smiled and ruffled Juvia's hair.
He didn't really care. The "three elements" sounded powerful, but they were actually relatively easy to deal with when playing elemental magic.
What's the most annoying thing? It's the kind of magic you can't figure out what kind of magic it is. The unknown is the most dangerous. Joseph Bora must know this all too well now, because he fell for it before.
"Moen! Go for it! Make sure you crush them!"
The citizens gathered around Moen and Juvia, cheering him on and showing a united front against their common enemy.
This is Magnolia, the home ground of Fairy Tail. The fact that the Phantom Lords have come here to cause trouble has naturally stirred up public outrage. Everyone hopes that Moen can teach those people a lesson and make them lose face.
"Don't worry, we definitely can't let our fellow villagers down!"
Moen responded positively to everyone's enthusiasm, which made them very happy. They supported him all the way to the city center and to the Fairy Tail guild hall.
Moen was a little helpless. He had thought that he would be praised for his "literary fame" when he returned, but he still had to fight. But it was fine, he could gain a lot of experience.
Juvia, surrounded by the crowd with Moen, was experiencing a strange feeling. She could sense the peculiar emotions people around her felt for Moen, but what were they? Care? Trust? Admiration? Was it seeing him as the pride of the city?
Juvia didn't understand, and she had never felt this kind of emotion before, but she liked it very much and was deeply moved by it.
The little girl looked up at Moen beside her, her eyes shining.
'So, one really has to become a mage as excellent as Moeng to be treated like this, right?'
Juvia thought of the village chief's words, and she now realized the difficulty of those words. The more she spent with Moeng and the more she came into contact with the outside world, the more she could feel Moeng's excellence. It seemed that he could be liked by people wherever he went.
This made Juvia feel ashamed, because she was disliked wherever she went, and the continuous rain along the way also drew a lot of criticism. Although people didn't know that the bad weather was because of her, she knew it herself.
Juvia is pessimistic; she feels she may never be able to be like Moeng, who is the exact opposite of Moeng.
'But I also really want to be like Moen.'
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that even holding an umbrella was difficult, but the heavy rain did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
Moen looked at Juvia, somewhat surprised. What was wrong with the girl? Was she frightened by the menacing crowd?
Thinking of this possibility, Moen tightened his grip on Juvia's hand.
To prevent the little girl from getting lost in the growing crowd, Moen had been holding Juvia's hand the whole time.
"Don't be afraid, Juvia! I'm here!"
Moen shouted to Juvia, "There are too many people, chattering away, and the rain is too heavy. You can't hear anything unless you speak very softly, even if you're very close."
Juvia looked at Moen upon hearing this, her eyes sparkling, and a smile appeared on her face as she nodded emphatically.
"Yes! Juvia isn't afraid!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rain lessened instantly, and the thick, dark rain clouds almost completely dissipated. The sun stubbornly shone through the clouds, casting a ray of sunlight onto Moen and into Juvia's eyes.
"Go, Moen! Beat them to a pulp!"
Juvia raised her little fist, clenched it, and waved it to cheer on Moen. She pursed her lips, her expression one of shared indignation.
Moen was taken aback. This was the first time he had seen such a vivid and lively expression on Juvia's face. Before, apart from being curious, Juvia was as well-behaved as a doll.
