Qi Yan let out a loud shout, then punched Bora with force, his arm rapidly extending and transforming into a giant flaming arm that blasted towards Bora.
Bora sensed something, turned his head to look behind him, and saw a huge flaming fist appear before him.
"No—!"
Bora screamed in terror as the massive flaming fist ruthlessly slammed into him.
Boom boom boom!!
The giant flaming arm directly smashed into the mountain wall in the town.
It blasted a huge fist-shaped indentation into the mountain wall.
A tremendous sound echoed throughout the entire town, causing the whole town to tremble slightly.
"Ah—!"
Lucy was dumbfounded, completely shocked by Qi Yan's thousand-meter-long giant flaming arm, her jaw practically hitting the ground. She had thought Natsu being able to eat fire was outrageous enough, but she never expected Qi Yan's magic to be even more terrifying.
This was simply a monster!
"Uh... not good! I used too much force!"
Qi Yan immediately dispelled the flaming fist. Only after truly possessing great power did he understand why Natsu always caused trouble.
He had tried his best to hold back his strength, but it was still very easy to cause significant destruction.
Just then, the sound of an army marching rang out, and Qi Yan's ears twitched.
"This... what exactly is going on—!"
A captain led a squad of soldiers running towards them.
Seeing the army, Qi Yan's expression changed, and he quickly shouted to Natsu, who was still beating people up: "Natsu, that's enough! The army is here, we need to run!"
After speaking, he pulled Lucy and started running.
The army represented the authorities, and getting caught would be quite troublesome. Once, he was too young and didn't run after an incident, which ended up delaying him for several days.
From then on, he learned his lesson and never foolishly stood still again. Causing trouble meant running away immediately.
"Army!! Run!!"
Natsu was startled and quickly followed, fleeing.
"Why do I have to run too?!"
Lucy looked bewildered; she was the victim, after all.
Qi Yan looked at Lucy and said, "Don't you want to join Fairy Tail? Then come along!"
Hearing this, Lucy's face lit up with surprise. She never expected she would actually have a chance to join Fairy Tail.
"Okay!!"
Lucy joyfully ran along with the others.

Magic Council ERA
Bang!!
Councilor Org, the second-in-command of the Magic Council, slammed a newspaper onto the conference table: "It's those idiots from Fairy Tail again!"
"This time they've ruined half the Hargeon Port!! It's unbelievable! Who knows, one day they might just tear down the entire town!"
Councilor Leiji said, "Don't jinx it... they really might do that."
Those troublemakers from Fairy Tail, honestly, it wouldn't be surprising if they really did tear down an entire town one day.
"It has already been reported to the government that it was for the capture of a criminal, Bora. With the girls' accusations and the human trafficker's confession, this incident can be considered closed."
Councilor Yakima sighed, saying that his old friend's children were indeed a bit too energetic, and he wondered if Old Man Makarov's body could withstand it.
Although it was a good deed this time, Org was still very displeased. Things that could have been resolved more simply were always made into such a big mess: "Those idiots, causing trouble every day. We've become their cleanup crew."
Siegrain said with a smile, "Alright... I actually quite like those idiots."
Org snapped at Siegrain, "You shut your mouth!"
"Those guys are idiots, but among them, there are many talented individuals."
"That's why it's such a headache."
"It's truly a dilemma!"
The other Councilors also seemed a bit unsure of what to do this time.
Siegrain exhaled and said, "Just like always, turn a blind eye."
"You... what nonsense are you spouting, you brat!!"
They had indeed always turned a blind eye in the past, but while they did it, they couldn't say it directly.
"How about we first praise them for their heroic rescue, and then discuss how to punish them?"
Almost everyone standing at the pinnacle of power in the magic world had an expression like they had swallowed a fly.
Praising Fairy Tail, who caused trouble every day and gave them endless headaches cleaning up their messes, was more unbearable than swallowing a fly for them.
Punishing those idiots would bring them some relief, but praising those imbeciles might make them miserable for a lifetime.
"Hehe!" Ultear couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly, seeing their expressions.
Siegrain smiled and said, "It seems everyone's opinions are unified this time. So, this matter is happily decided. Let's move on to the next agenda item."
****
"Wow... it's so big."
Lucy looked at the Fairy Tail Guild in front of her, feeling as if she were in a dream.
She had admired Fairy Tail for a long time and had vowed that one day she would join Fairy Tail herself.
Now, that dream was finally about to come true; Fairy Tail was right before her eyes.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail."
At this moment, the guild was bustling with activity. Some people were looking for suitable jobs on the request board, some were singing and dancing, and many more were eating, drinking, and chatting. For Mages who worked freely, every job was a unique experience, giving everyone endless things to talk about.
"Mira!! Three beers over here!!"
"Coming!!"
Mira walked over with a tray of drinks and placed down three beers: "Please enjoy."
"Mira!"
Wakaba raised his hand and waved at Mira.
"Coming, coming, what is it?"
Wakaba took a puff from his cigarette, then exhaled, forming heart-shaped smoke rings: "Go on a date with me next time."
Wakaba's teammate, York, said, "You can't do it. Mira is dating Qi Yan."
Mira's face immediately flushed slightly: "You... what nonsense are you talking about? I... when did I ever date Qi Yan?"
"Didn't you? Don't you two go home together every night and come to the guild together every morning? I even thought you were already living together."
Mira was startled: "You... don't talk nonsense. Our homes are just close by, so it's just on the way."
Others teased, "No matter how much it's on the way, you don't need to be together every day, do you?"
Mira's face quickly heated up.
Seeing Mira's reaction, many people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Bang!!!
The guild doors were kicked open.
"I'm back!!"
Natsu, leading the charge, yelled ferociously.
Qi Yan and Happy also raised their hands in greeting from behind.
Mira saw Qi Yan return, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes: "You're back!"
"Hahahaha!"
Many people in the guild laughed heartily upon seeing Qi Yan and Natsu.
Krov said to Natsu, "You guys caused big trouble again this time. The Hargeon Port incident even made it into the newspaper... Oh..."
Before he could finish speaking, a large foot appeared before his eyes.
"Whoa!"
Krov cried out in pain as he was kicked directly to the ground, shattering a table.
"You scoundrel!! The information about the Fire Dragon was fake!!"
