CHAPTER 72

Instead of the joyous vibe that the Fairy Tail Guildhall was known for, the Guildhall is now surrounded by a tense atmosphere. The bombshell that Master Makarov had said followed by Laxus slapping the face of Mira had cause everyone in the guild to become uneasy.

"Your brother thought that he could fight me. AH! He got what he deserved, he was lucky I didn't leave him for dead", Laxus said to Mira with lighting crawling all over his body.

"How dare you...", Mira said with anger in her voice. The thought of her brother being wounded and her not being there to help him made Mira mad at herself. She clenched her fist and she didn't even notice it but the magical energy that she hasn't been able to use suddenly started acting up. In her mind is the thought of her brother dying just like Lisanna and this had made her magical energy active once again.

"Hey, gramps maybe it was just misunderstanding. Come on Laxus tell them that your sorry", Natsu said.

Natsu was the only one who pleaded for Laxus, the rest of the guild members were quiet and chose to remain silent. For the past couple of years, Laxus had thrown around his title as an S-rank mage, and when the Phantom Lord attacked, he did nothing. These two actions of his had made him have a negative reputation towards his guild members.

"ENOUGH! Laxus you will leave the guild premises at once! And I will not say it again", Makarov said to his grandson.

Laxus narrowed his eyes and he looks at everyone in the guild, the rest of the guild members were small fry. With the Thunder God Tribe joining him they could easily take out the other members but Enzo and the old man were the problems. Both of them were powerful mages and he knows that fighting the guild with them around would be pointless.

With anger on his face, he cancels the lighting crawling all over his body and walks down towards the first floor of the guild. He pushes pass both the Thunder God Tribe and Enzo and walks straight towards the exit.

"No!", Freed shouted. This causes everyone's eyesight to move from Laxus to him, this also causes Laxus to stop walking and to look at Freed.

Freed looks at the master of Fairy and said, "If Laxus is to excommunicated, we of the Thunder God Tribe will share the same fate! We will---"

"BANG!"

Freed speech to show his loyalty to Laxus was abruptly interrupted when Laxus suddenly attack not just Freed but every single member of the Thunder God Tribe.

"LAXUS!", Makarov said with anger in his voice. Makarov was beyond piss at this point. To think that his grandson would still attack a member of the guild the moment he was excommunicated made him angry.

Makarov then stretches out his hand and a magical seal appeared in front of him. A powerful blast of light magic came directly towards Laxus.

"BANG!"

Before the attack landed, Laxus was able to channel his magic and coated himself with his lighting. He then crosses his arms together to tank Master Makarov's attack.

The zapping of lighting could be heard as the smoke of Master Makarovs attack subsided. Some parts of Laxus clothes were destroyed but he stood tall from Makarov's attack, "You once said the guild is like a family, but aren't you enjoying it too much, kicking your family out of the guild". Laxus cancels his magic and for a brief moment looks straight at the eyes of his grandfather, he then turned around and left.

Enzo went towards the members of the Thunder God Tribe to check-up on them. Laxus' attack had made the 3 people lost consciousness but all in all, they would be fine.

Makarov then closes his eyes and calm his flaring magical energy. He then went towards the 1st floor of the guild and said, "Mira, Enzo, you two come to my office. I have something to say to the two of you".

Mira also started calming down and followed Master Makarov towards his office, Enzo did the same after instructing the nearest guild member to help the 3 members of Thunder God Trieb and place them inside the infirmary.

"Master, is Elfman okay?", Mira asked Master Makarov the moment she entered his office.

"Elfman is fine, after the battle he had with Laxus in Freesia Town, the townspeople help him recover from his injuries. But since he was part of the cause of the destruction of the town in the first place, they want him gone as quickly as possible", Makarov said as he took a seat.

"I'm going there now, I'll take him to Porlyusica immediately", Mira said. But before Mira could leave the room, Makarov said, "Don't worry. Erza and Jellal are en route to Freesia Town right now. They'll take him to Porlyusica when they return. I suggest you just wait here".

Mira thought of it for a while and agreed to what Master Makarov said. Makarov then told her to have the rest of the day off and to prepare some clothes to give to Elfman once he is brought to Porlyusica. Mira thanks Master Makarov and immediately left.

"Since Jellal is with Erza and that they are going to Freesia Town, I believe the purpose of your visit there was successful", Enzo said to Makarov.

Makarov sighed and said, "Yes, it was. Laxus' actions in Freesia Town nearly made it hard but I was able to persuade the Council members. Yajima really help us in that regard but it seems that we can no longer rely on him".

"Why is that?"

"He's retiring now. We will no longer have an ally in the Magic Council"

"I see...Is this what all you wanted to discuss with me, Master Makarov", Enzo asked.

"No, it's about Laxus. I want you to follow him", Makarov said with a defeated look in his eyes.

"Why? You just excommunicated him", Enzo said with curiosity in his voice.

"Now that he is kicked out of the guild, there is one place the Laxus would most likely go to. He would go his father, Ivan Dreyar"

"I see", Enzo replied.
