Chapter 225 Famous Throughout the Nation
"Let's complete all the S-rank missions in one go!"
Upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's words, Macao and Wakaba were so shocked that they were speechless.
Although they had never completed an S-level mission, they were well aware of the difficulty of those missions.
No mage who is not approved by the guild master is qualified to accept S-rank missions.
Before the guild's main force disappeared, there were only five people in the entire Fairy Tail guild who could take on S-rank missions on their own.
Even they can only accept one task at a time.
But the fact that Shirou Kotomine would take on more than a dozen S-rank missions in one go is truly astonishing.
But Shirou Kotomine seemed not to hear Macao and Wakaba's worries, or perhaps he was deliberately pretending not to hear them.
He chuckled and replied, "That's right."
Shirou Kotomine's words were full of affirmation.
This is the method that Shirou Kotomine came up with after a night of thinking.
At this moment, the news that all of Fairy Tail's main forces had disappeared had spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Fiore, and Fairy Tail's ordinary missions would not be greatly affected in the short term.
Because these ordinary missions all come from Magnolia and the surrounding areas.
In this vicinity, there used to be only one guild, Fairy Tail.
It's not that Fairy Tail is being domineering and preventing other guilds from setting up camp here.
Other guilds would have no chance of survival if they were stationed here.
After all, Fairy Tail was once the strongest guild in the entire Kingdom of Fiore, and its reputation spread throughout the country.
In this situation, as long as Fairy Tail doesn't raise the commission fees, no matter how many guilds are in the vicinity, they won't be able to get enough missions to survive.
In the mage world where strength determines status, the winner takes all.
Smaller guilds only have a chance of survival if Fairy Tail charges more than other guilds in the area.
Unfortunately, Fairy Tail's guild master, Makarov, is not a greedy person.
This makes Fairy Tail's fees no different from those of ordinary guilds, and in this case, all the commissions in the vicinity will be concentrated on Fairy Tail.
These tasks will not disappear in the short term; they will still be taken over by Fairy Tail.
But those quests sent from afar because of Fairy Tail's reputation will probably disappear quickly.
After all, they originally valued Fairy Tail's strength and wanted the mission to be foolproof.
These kinds of tasks are usually very rewarding.
And for a long time to come, Fairy Tail will be saying goodbye to such missions.
These are all ordinary tasks that determine the income of guild members.
But what truly brings honor to a guild are those extremely difficult S-rank missions.
These missions almost all have a wide impact, and there is a high possibility that mages will be injured or killed in such missions.
If such a task remains unfinished for many years, it will gradually escalate into a ten-year task, or even a hundred-year task.
Only by continuously completing these tasks will the guild's reputation grow stronger.
Only in this way can the guild's reputation be maintained.
However, at this time, the main force of Fairy Tail guild disappeared, and there were no longer any strong enough members in the guild to complete the S-rank mission.
Since S-class missions generally last a long time, and the disappearance of Fairy Tail's main force only happened recently, these missions are still here.
It is foreseeable that Fairy Tail will no longer be given any S-class missions in the future.
These S-rank requests will disappear from Fairy Tail's request list after the request period ends, and then appear in other guilds' request lists.
As time goes by, new guilds will constantly appear in areas around Magnolia that were once without guilds, stealing quests from Fairy Tail.
The reduction in missions meant that Fairy Tail could no longer support so many mages, leading to staff attrition. This cycle continued, eventually plunging the company into despair.
This is the vicious cycle.
There's nothing we can do about this. After all, the main force behind Fairy Tail's disappearance wasn't middle-aged; they were almost all teenagers, and there weren't many who could be called young adults.
Therefore, after these people disappeared, the fairy's tail was completely severed at the root.
There are very few people who can be trained.
Even the training of talent has ceased.
This is why Fairy Tail couldn't break free from that vicious cycle, and the situation eventually worsened.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine believes that the most important thing in this situation is to stop the decline of the "Fairy Tail" brand.
He needs to give Fairy Tail a shot in the arm right now.
It's clear that the reputation of the strongest guild in the Kingdom of Fiore is now in jeopardy.
He needs to first preserve the title of "the strongest" in Magnolia and the surrounding area.
First, you must protect your own territory.
Therefore, he needs to make a big splash at this time to announce his existence.
It's impossible to achieve this by simply completing an S-rank mission unless he completes a century-long mission, but even if Shirou Kotomine has the strength, such a mission would take a very long time.
But time is very tight now.
Whether it was the time when Fairy Tail's reputation collapsed, or his own time.
He has no intention of wasting time on a century-long mission.
However, Shirou Kotomine was able to complete the S-rank mission with ease at this time.
The only problem is that the locations of S-rank missions are all different and the areas they cover are very large and far away, so it takes a long time just to get there.
But Shirou Kotomine has Achilles' chariot, so distance is meaningless to him.
Therefore, he has the ability to quickly complete many S-level missions.
"Although Fairy Tail is no longer as powerful as it once was, its influence remains. We have allies in other guilds with close ties to us, as well as in the council."
"Once I demonstrate my strength, I will use that power to quickly make a name for myself throughout the country, so that people all over the country will know that Fairy Tail has not lost all its power."
"In this way, we have barely managed to stop the rapid decline in our guild's reputation."
Kotomine Shirou earnestly told Macao and Wakaba all his thoughts.
In the future, he will either complete high-difficulty missions outside or study the powers within the guild to improve his strength. He will find it difficult to manage the internal affairs of the guild.
At that time, Shirou Kotomine will hand all of these over to the two of them.
After all, he's an advisor.
Once you've taken the position, don't even think about not working.
After hearing what Shirou Kotomine said, Macao and Wakaba were both dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Shirou Kotomine continued, "But this is only a temporary halt. To truly solidify the guild's position, I need to aim for the ranks of the Ten Wizard Saints."
"Only when I become one of the Ten Wizard Saints will Fairy Tail truly return to its former glory as a major guild. And to become the strongest guild again, we still need everyone's efforts!"
After saying that, Kotomine Shirou fell silent.
He gazed silently at Macao and Wakaba before him, waiting for them to recover from the shock of the news.
"Can we really do it?"
After a moment of silence, Macao asked in a trembling voice.
Wakaba also looked expectantly at Kotomine Shirou.
"sure!"
Kotomine Shirou made a serious promise.
"I admire myself immensely right now. It seems that choosing Shirou Kotomine as the fourth guild master was the best decision I ever made in my life!"
Marcao said excitedly.
Before Shirou Kotomine returned, everyone thought that Makara was the only one who could succeed him as chairman.
This is not only the opinion of the guild members, but also that of the older members who secretly support Fairy Tail outside the guild.
Even Shirou Kotomine himself thinks so.
Therefore, if Marcao hadn't decided to hand over the chairmanship to Shirou Kotomine himself, his position as the fourth chairman would have been unshakeable.
It was Marcao's own decision after witnessing Shirou Kotomine's strength.
At this moment, he sincerely admired his own decision.
Only Shirou Kotomine can restore Fairy Tail's glory.
"That's right, I think so too."
Wakaba then added.
"I will not let down the expectations of my two advisors. I also ask that you both work together with me to restore Fairy Tail's glory. It is our duty!"
Kotomine Shirou suddenly spoke loudly.
"It's my duty!"
Macao and Wakaba also shouted loudly in response.
After reaching an agreement with Macao and Wakaba, Shirou Kotomine left the guild the next day to embark on his journey to complete the S-rank mission.
Driving his chariot, Shirou Kotomine moved forward at an extremely fast speed.
In less than ten minutes, he arrived at the first mission location and completed the handover with the person who issued the mission.
After the handover was completed, Shirou Kotomine quickly threw himself into the mission.
With Shirou Kotomine's current strength, many S-rank missions would be no challenge for him at all.
In just one day, Shirou Kotomine completed six S-rank missions.
These missions include those that involve killing enemies, those that involve solving puzzles, and those that combine both elements.
For ordinary mages, solving puzzles is relatively easy, while defeating enemies is relatively difficult; naturally, the most difficult task is one that combines both.
However, for Shirou Kotomine, solving the mystery is more difficult than defeating the enemy.
To be honest, Shirou Kotomine was extremely powerful at that time.
After several worlds of advancement, Shirou Kotomine believes that his magical prowess in the Fairy Tail world has reached the level of Laxus.
His magical combat strength is at the level of Chairman Makarov.
If he were to unleash his full power, Shirou Kotomine could even take on the top four of the Ten Wizard Saints.
However, even a powerful figure like Kotomine Shirou, who is of the same caliber as the Black Dragon, is far inferior.
And the Black Dragon was his target.
After all, if they can't even defeat the Black Dragon, how can they possibly defeat Tiamat?
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine's goal in the Fairy Tail world is to defeat the black dragon Acnologia.
It is precisely because of Kotomine Shirou's extremely strong abilities that he is able to easily defeat his enemies.
But decryption tasks are more troublesome.
This requires him to put in a lot of effort.
Fortunately, under Merlin's tutelage, Shirou Kotomine has become a thoughtful and research-oriented mage.
Otherwise, simply decrypting it would ruin his plan.
After all, there's a saying that goes, "When people are angry, they can accomplish anything, except mathematics."
But if Shirou Kotomine were to say at this point, the same applies to decryption.
Fortunately, the puzzles here are magical puzzles. As long as Shirou Kotomine is proficient in all kinds of magical knowledge, he can quickly solve these puzzles.
In fact, Shirou Mine is indeed highly skilled in magic.
Therefore, although these decryption attempts presented some challenges for Shirou Kotomine, he quickly resolved them.
As he continued to complete commissions, Shirou Kotomine's magical skills also improved rapidly.
After all, he had only been studying and researching before.
But now there is an opportunity to put it into practice.
With the two combined, Shirou Kotomine's magical skills began to improve rapidly.
This allowed him to complete the commissions faster and faster.
Three days later, Shirou Kotomine successfully completed all his missions and returned to Fairy Tail that evening.
The next day, the news appeared in newspapers throughout the entire Kingdom of Fiore.
Shocking! Not all of Fairy Tail's main force has disappeared. Shirou Kotomine, who was not in the guild before, has taken over as the fourth guild master of Fairy Tail and has completed sixteen S-rank missions in three days to prove his strength!
The news was immediately known throughout the country and abroad.
Everyone involved is talking about it.
Those who harbored grudges against Fairy Tail and were preparing for revenge once again extinguished the hatred in their hearts.
Those who had a good relationship with Fairy Tail smiled.
In an instant, the name Fairy Tail resounded throughout the nation once again.
"Hahaha, that's great, Shirou!"
At the table, Marcao quickly sat down and said happily, "After your name became famous throughout the country, the number of commissions from afar began to increase. We've regained the confidence of many clients!"
"This is indeed good news!"
Kotomine Shirou nodded.
"But the more this is the case, the less we can afford to be arrogant. Now, I can only rely on myself for S-rank missions, so I can only rely on everyone in the guild for ordinary commissions."
"At such a critical moment, we must be wary of sabotage from other people with ill intentions, and we must successfully complete those tasks and continue to strengthen the trust of the clients."
"I understand, I will pay close attention."
Marcao quickly replied.
After experiencing such a huge crisis, many ambitious people will surely have their eyes on Fairy Tail, always wanting to take a bite out of them.
Even though Shirou Kotomine's record scared off many people.
But those who remain will all be confident in themselves.
These are all areas that Macao and Wakaba need to focus on.
"It's good that you understand."
I have a lot of confidence in Marceau Shirou.
"By the way, how's the accommodation I asked you to arrange?"
Remembering the arrangements he had made, Shirou Kotomine inquired.
"Preparations are already underway in the nearby forest."
"That's good, I'll move there tonight."
Previously, Shirou Kotomine had asked Macao to prepare a place to stay in a secluded location, citing his need to quickly improve his strength and prepare to study some advanced magic.
Marcao placed it in the nearby forest.
"So urgent?"
Marcao asked in surprise.
"I need to become one of the Ten Wizard Saints as soon as possible!"
After patting Macao on the shoulder, Shirou Kotomine left the guild and began moving. He would be living there from now on and would return to Uruk under the pretext of going into seclusion for research.
If he doesn't go back soon, Merlin will be worried.
