The subsequent events felt more like a power fantasy. Newton relied on the Energy Source, unleashing Fairy Glitter as if it were free, completely overwhelming everyone present.
Hiraga Saint Ten was strong, but could he withstand a single Fairy Glitter? If I exhaust the entire Energy Source, can you hold up against me? As long as you can't reach Newton, you'll be picked off from a distance.
Although there wasn't an overwhelming dominance against the strong, and ordinary members had their victories and defeats, no one dared to look down on Fairy Tail anymore. Despite Fairy Tail's continued decline, at least Newton had managed to halt the downward spiral.
In the end, Fairy Tail secured first place. Newton knew how hollow that victory was, but he couldn't be bothered to participate in the next Dragon King Festival. This time, he had burned through several Energy Sources; this first place was entirely bought with money. Newton couldn't keep this up forever; it would still require the entire Guild to work together.
"Newton, we owe this to you."
Makao expressed his relief. This was not just about Fairy Tail; it still had Newton. Otherwise, even if everyone from Wolf Island returned in a few years, they would likely find a dilapidated Guild.
"It's nothing. You all need to work hard too. Relying solely on one S-Class Mage as the Guild's leader is simply not enough."
Newton shook his head. This was what he should do; there was no reason to feel proud. In the coming period, Fairy Tail should enter a stable transition phase, and it was crucial to solidify their strength during this time.
"Let's see if we can recruit some stronger Mages during this period. Of course, you know our criteria for selection, Makao. I'll leave this to you while I head back to watch over the sea."
"Got it."
Makao nodded. Bringing in fresh blood was essential. If they could find some capable Mages, it would bolster their reputation. However, just like Newton said, if someone was powerful but lacked character, they were still not worth keeping.
Makarov's principle was to treat the Guild like family; allowing someone with ill intentions to join would only tarnish Fairy Tail's reputation. This was one of the reasons why Makarov had once expelled even his own son from the Guild.
"What a coincidence."
Just as Newton was contemplating Makarov's son, someone stepped forward.
"Did I hear that all S-Class Mages from Fairy Tail were wiped out? Even that old man and my son are dead?"
With a disheveled appearance and a sly grin on his face, it was none other than Makarov's son, Ivan Dolea.
It had only been about ten years since he was expelled from the Guild, so not only the older generation but also some of the younger ones still recognized Ivan Dolea. Naturally, Newton knew this man who had been personally cast out by Makarov.
"Ivan Dolea... Dolea..."
Newton contemplated the possibility of keeping him around since Ivan held secrets about Fairy Tail that were too shocking—unlimited magic power. If that information got out, Fairy Tail would be in grave danger. In this world, only death ensured safety; Newton looked at Ivan Dolea with murderous intent.
“Ha ha, Newton, it's been a while. It's a pity we didn't keep in touch back then. I never expected you to reach this level; I'm truly surprised. But it doesn't matter now. You're the President, so how about bringing your uncle back to the Guild for Laxus's sake? I can help you manage the Guild.”
Ivan Dolea's words left Newton stunned. He knew that Ivan had never given up on spying on Fairy Tail. Coming here, he thought Ivan was there to ambush him, but what was this?
Newton was aware that after leaving Fairy Tail, Ivan had established a Dark Guild. However, his connection to the Dark Guild was minimal, so Newton didn't know much about Ivan through that channel. Now he wanted to return to the Guild?
“Ivan Dolea! What kind of person do you think you are? Everyone knows who you are! How could we let someone like you back into the Guild?”
Makao couldn't hold back any longer. He had never seen someone so shameless; having been expelled from the Guild, Ivan now had the audacity to return and offer help? It was an attempt at a power grab.
“Makao, what does my conversation with the President have to do with you?”
Although Ivan wasn't much of a person, his strength was considerable—at least stronger than Makao's. Before Makao could react, Newton had already stepped in front of him, gripping a fist tightly.
“It wouldn't be good to act against his family in front of the President, would it?”
Newton's face remained expressionless.
“Ha ha, I'm just teaching the President a lesson here.”
Ivan Dolea suddenly appeared right in front of Newton; that fist belonged to Ivan. Meanwhile, another Ivan Dolea slowly faded away—it was an illusion created by Illusion Magic.
“My people are not for you to touch.”
Newton gripped Ivan's hand tightly. Pain flashed across Ivan's face as he felt a sinking sensation in his heart; something seemed off.
“Newton, President, do you really want me to reveal Fairy Tail's biggest secret?”
Ivan tried to threaten Newton into releasing him, but Newton remained unmoved.
“You know what? I think dead men keep secrets better.”
With determination set in his eyes, Newton kicked towards Ivan Dolea. Using his mechanical leg powered by energy, he aimed to create a hole in Ivan's chest while still holding onto his hand tightly without any intention of letting go.
Ivan never expected Newton to be so decisive. He had only been expelled from Fairy Tail and hadn't faced any retaliation since then. But now Newton seemed intent on killing him?
Several sheets of paper flew towards Newton like sharp blades, cutting into his face and tearing his clothes into strips. Yet Newton's leg showed no signs of slowing down; he was prepared to trade injury for death.
"Damn it!"
Ivan Dolea realized that Newton truly intended to kill him, and it was a determination to eliminate him completely. Could it be because of that secret? In fact, Ivan only knew that such a thing existed; he had no idea what it was. He had thought about gathering information to return to Fairy Tail, but he never expected Newton to be so decisive.
"Newton, remember this! I will make sure Fairy Tail is utterly destroyed!"
With gritted teeth, Ivan's arm, held tightly by Newton, exploded. The force of the explosion sent Ivan flying away, allowing him to evade Newton's attack.
"Newton..."
Makao was somewhat astonished. Although this situation seemed to stretch out over half a chapter when written, in reality, it all happened in an instant, and he hadn’t even reacted in time.
"Nothing."
Newton shook his head. It was a pity he hadn't killed him; he had only severed one of Ivan's arms. If Ivan went for a prosthetic limb, then Newton would be able to trace him back to find out more.
"Let's go back..."
Seeing that Newton wasn't going to explain and understanding that this secret must be quite serious, Makao decided not to ask further questions and led everyone back to the Guild.
