Chapter 114 Urgency

Sitting helplessly at the bar, Gildas stopped Mira, who was about to go out to deliver food, and ordered a glass of beer with a smile.

After drinking down the full glass of beer in one gulp, Gildas sighed and said to President Makarov on the bar: "What happened at Mistgun is a bit regretful."

"Well……"

President Makarov looked at the joyous and laughing scene in the hall and responded softly: "The scene when that child came back to the guild with you is still like yesterday..."

Gildarts smiled and nodded: "When you say that, I feel even more regretful. I brought him back to join the guild back then, but now that Mistagon has left, I didn't have time to say goodbye in person..."

"Everyone, I have helped you convey the guild's beliefs to um."

President Makarov smiled and said: "I hope that child can implement that belief and be energetic over there."

"Of course."

Gildas turned around to face the hall, looking at the melee scene that instantly turned into, he couldn't help but smile: "After all, he is also a child raised by the guild, how could he be so lackadaisical?"

President Makarov tilted his head and dodged a flying wine glass. Looking at the scene of the members fighting together, he also showed a relieved smile: "That's right, how could the children of the guild not be there?" Where’s the spirit? No, thick, thick..."

At this moment, Ke Wen's figure appeared at the entrance of the guild. After seeing the chaotic scene in the hall, he smiled slightly, and then used the magic of 'teleportation' to travel across the entire battlefield and appeared directly in the bar.

President Makarov and Gildarts turned their heads to look at the same time, and then both were stunned.

"Little Kewen?" Gildarts said in surprise: "What's wrong with you? You have dark circles under your eyes."

President Makarov was equally surprised: "It seems like you didn't get any rest last night?"

Ke Wen nodded, and after sitting down a little tiredly, he took out a bottle of 'Energy Potion' from his pocket and drank it.

After putting away the potion bottle, he said: "Well, I haven't slept since I went to Edras that day."

"What's wrong?" Gildarts frowned slightly: "Speaking of which, after I came back this time, I discovered that you looked like you were being chased by something. You seemed to be working very hard before, but not as hard as you are now. An urgent look.

"

President Makarov was stunned when he heard this.

Because he was in contact with Kewen every day, he didn't notice this subtle change.

Now that I was reminded, and comparing it with a few years ago, I immediately discovered something was wrong with Ke Wen.

His face became serious, and President Makarov immediately asked: "That's right! Little Kewen, did you encounter any difficulties?"

Facing the two people's concerns, Ke Wen shook his head and then smiled and reassured: "I'm fine, it's just that magic research has reached a critical moment recently, don't worry."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Gildas had profound experience. He took a sip of beer, stared into Coven's eyes and said, "Isn't it easier to succeed in research if you relax your mind?"

President Makarov heard something from Gildarts' words, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and echoed: "That's right, why are you in such a hurry."

Because of his exhaustion, Kewen didn't realize that his abnormal state had been discovered.

Fortunately, he had thought of an excuse a long time ago, so he smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm a little restless."

"Silent and restless?" President Makarov and Gildarts said in surprise at the same time.

"Yes." Kewen explained while summoning the magic screen: "I feel that there is a bottleneck in my strength, so I plan to go out for a walk after a while and try to complete the 'hundred-year mission'."

Snapped!

Gildas put down his wine glass and whispered seriously: "Have you decided yet!?"

President Makarov also put away the relief on his face and said seriously: "Isn't that task already discussed? In the short term, the guild does not plan to open it to anyone."

"Don't get me wrong." Ke Wen quickly reassured: "I don't want to complete the mission, but I want to take advantage of the mission to go out and try to improve my strength during the travel. As for whether the mission can be completed, everything depends on luck. ”

Seeing that the two people's expressions were relaxed, Ke Wen smiled again: "You know, when it comes to escaping, I am convinced that I am the best in the world."

After hearing this, President Makarov and Gildarts thought about it, and after thinking about Ke Wen's ability, they felt relieved.

President Makarov nodded and said helplessly: "Well, well, how can any parent prevent their children from traveling outside and growing up? It's just a pity. I originally thought that in the past two years, I will pass on the position of general to you."

After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Gildas.

As if Gildarts knew what President Makarov wanted to say, he immediately waved his hands and said with a wry smile: "Ah haha, don't look at me, old man, I don't want to be imprisoned in the guild by the president's work."

"Alas..." President Makarov sighed in distress, simply put away his delusion, and then said to Ke Wen: "So you are thinking of completing that research before going out to travel? "

"Yes." Ke Wen nodded with a smile: "So I seem a little anxious recently. I'm sorry for making you worry."

Kewen's reason was very sufficient, so President Makarov and Gildas couldn't help but believe it completely.

Once again, they all tried to persuade Ke Wen not to be too impatient, and persuaded Ke Wen to ensure he had a good rest, and then the two of them dropped the topic.

Gildarts stayed and chatted for a while. After the melee among the members ended, he left the guild and continued to find a place to adapt to the use of prosthetic limbs.

President Makarov also walked out of the guild, intending to visit Poryusica and explain the events of the previous two days to the other party.

Coven was the only one left at the bar. At this time, Gajeel came over with a black cat.

After sitting down, Gajeel averted his eyes and whispered to Kewen arrogantly: "Although I feel like I have been tricked by you,... I still thank you."

Kewen concentrated on writing calculations on the 'magic screen' and responded with a smile: "As long as you are happy, you also have a cat partner now, so congratulations."

"correct."

Kewen looked away from the 'magic screen' and looked at the very serious black cat: "Lili, if I remember correctly, you fight with a giant sword, right?"

"Yes."

Lili's previous identity was the commander of the Kingdom Army on the side of Edras, so he had a very serious character. After hearing this, he responded seriously: "The weapon I used before was a giant sword that can be enlarged or reduced. , it just fits my body shape that can grow bigger or smaller.”

Ke Wen nodded, looked at the 'magic screen' again and said, "Well, in two days, I will find time to make another one for you."

"Really!?" Lili showed a look of surprise, and then bowed slightly to Ke Wen solemnly: "Thank you! Mr. Quinn!"

"Call me Kewen." Kewen responded with a smile.

…

…

Time flies by, nearly a month passes in the blink of an eye, and it’s December.

During this period of time, Ke Wen squeezed out almost all his rest time and relied on "magic potions" to restore his energy. On average, he would only get one night's sleep every three or four days.

In the second half of the month, Kewen completely let go of the 'kanban' work and handed it over to Mira. He stayed at home every day in the suitcase's studio.

It wasn't until he received a communication from Mira on December 8th that he returned to the guild.

It was a cloudy day, but the atmosphere in the entire guild was very lively.

All members who had gone out returned and everyone gathered together in the hall.

A green curtain was arranged on the guild's stage, with a huge emblem printed on it. Amidst the huge noise, the curtain on the stage suddenly rose slowly.

The whole hall fell silent.

Soon the curtain was completely raised, revealing five figures on the stage.

President Makarov put on formal robes and stood at the front of the center with his shoulders crossed.

On the left are Coven, who has one hand in his pocket and a page of paper in the other hand, and Erza, who is standing in a military posture with her hands behind her back.

On the right side of President Makarov were Mira, who had her hands clasped in front of her belly, and Gildarts, whose body was completely hidden under a black cloak.

Such a scene made everyone off the stage whisper in admiration.

Because the people on the stage were undoubtedly the most powerful ones in the guild.

The four ‘S-class wizards’ including President Makarov and Kewen completely represent the guild’s face in the kingdom.

Amid the buzz of discussion and the shouts of anticipation, President Makarov made a fist in front of his mouth and coughed lightly, getting ready to speak.

The members quickly fell silent. Seeing this, President Makarov began to say seriously: "According to the guild's long-standing rules! Next, the list of participants for this year's 'S-Class Mage Assessment' will be announced!"

coax--

The entire hall was completely filled with cheers and shouts, and the members vented their anticipation.

Seeing this, Erza shouted seriously: "Everyone, calm down!"

Gildas also used magic power to diffuse the sound, and said seriously: "The president hasn't finished speaking yet."

Everyone quickly became quiet again.

President Makarov didn't pay attention, and while extending his hand to Ke Wen, he continued to announce: "This year's assessment location is the guild's holy land-Sirius Island!"

Taking the list from Ke Wen, President Makarov continued solemnly: "I have combined your performance during this year, carefully considered your strength and mentality, and confirmed your growth, so... "

Ceremonially raising the list in his hand, President Makarov announced loudly: "I have made this decision! This year's 'S-level assessment' will ultimately be the following eight members!"

The whole hall could hear the drop of a needle, and everyone held their breath, hoping that their names would appear on that list...
