Seeing what Laxus looked like, Joel sighed.

Looking at the wine glass in his hand and seeing his face reflected in the drink, Joel slowly said, "Are you particularly interested in evaluating these people ? I've also heard a lot this year."

"Because you think They always take your strength for granted, thinking you're the president's grandson, and that's why you're so strong."

"But in reality, the reason why you are able to become so strong has nothing to do with this! You are only becoming so strong because of the faith in your heart."

After hearing Joel's words, Laxus put down the wine glass in his hand, his face gradually turning gloomy.

"Even if you told me these things, you wouldn't understand my inner thoughts at all!"

"Besides, how could I care about the words of the weak?"

Laxus said disdainfully.

However, Joel saw the trace of unwillingness on his face.

As Joel said, Laxus actually hates being called the guild master's grandson.

Because of this title, no one could see how hard he worked. They only saw that he was the grandson of the guild president!

Laxus's heart was roaring countless times.

Why do they take his hard work for granted, and why don't they see my hard work and just see that I am the grandson of the guild president!

He felt very unwilling, because everyone attributed his strong merit to Makarov, and this was precisely the reason for the appearance of a Knot in his heart.

So he wants to defeat Makarov and become the new president of Fairy Tail. He wants everyone to know that he is stronger than his grandfather, and he wants everyone to face his existence!!!

Joel also knew what Laxus was thinking because in the anime there was a flashback to Laxus' memories when everyone said that his strength was because he was the grandson of the guild president...

Then he saw Laxus pour the wine into his mouth and drink all the wine in the cup before putting the cup down.

He had been putting all the depression in his heart into wine. He felt that the only magic thing about wine was that it made him forget the unwillingness in his heart.

But the only regret was that when he woke up from the wine, those painful memories immediately appeared in his mind again.

So wine could only temporarily relieve the depression in his heart.

But he knew if he couldn't get rid of the frustration in his heart, and if his heart was being suppressed all the time. When the accumulation reached a critical point, it would completely explode due to a small incident.

"In fact, I've heard similar remarks before, but the thing they're talking about is me."

When Joel saw Laxus this way, he also chose to tell a half-white lie.

"Ur is my teacher and she is a very powerful ice mage. Her strength is so high that it surpasses S-level mages and is at least comparable to the strength of the Ten Holy Mages."

"But she is always so kind. Every time a nearby town encounters a powerful monster, or when a monster wave occurs, she always steps forward and protects the people in these towns over and over again."

"As an Ur student, I have great powers too, but people in these towns take it for granted, because my teacher is Ur!"

Joel didn't look at Laxus's expression, but merely told him some of his 'personal experiences'.

After hearing Joel words, Laxus looked at Joel calm expression, with indescribable emotion in his eyes.

It is a kind of emotion similar to sympathy of the same kind.

Since Joel's "experience" was almost the same as his, these words touched the depths of his heart.

"But in this situation, I just smiled."

"Because I know that the reason behind my strength depends entirely on my own efforts."

"As my teacher knows very well, I can become strong because of my hard work and talent."

"Her education is important, but my hard work and talent are indispensable too."

Joel smiled and continued:

"The world has countless opinions, but as long as my teacher and I can understand each other, does the world's perspective still matter?"

"You may not be able to open your heart yet, but the president who is your grandfather will always be in a corner, watching you all the time."

"He can understand you, and at the same time he is also very clear that the so-called title of President's grandson is just a fake name. The one who is truly strong is actually you!"

After hearing Joel's words, Laxus fell into deep thought.

At this time, his heart was extremely tangled, and he was struggling at the same time.

Could it be that the old man would always be able to understand me?

Why then does he never tell me these things?

Maybe, am I unable to understand myself too?

Makarov's figure appeared in Laxus' mind. Under the influence of countless confusion, the single knot deep in his heart was gradually crumbling.

When Joel saw Luxas' silence, and fell into deep thought. Joel did not interrupt him, but just drank his wine in silence.

Joel didn't lie to Laxus about the people in the cities Ur saved taking his power for granted because he was Ur student.

But he is different from Laxus because he also knows that the reason for his strong strength is because he is Ur student, even with the cheating, he never denied that the reason for his strong strength is because Ur.

Because cheating is not activated until it comes into contact with a magic book, so if Ur does not accept him as a student, it will take at least a few years for him to come into contact with magic books and for the system to be activated. Even if he gets a magic book and the system is activated, it will be normal magic, no matter how much he modifies and improves it, it will not be strong, and it will take another time until he gets strong magic.

So he also knows that Ur contribution to his strength is indispensable.
