Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, several days had passed since the end of the Grand Magic Games.
During these past few days, the Fairy Tail Guild, and indeed the entire town of Magnolia, had been exceptionally lively.
The reason was none other than Fairy Tail winning the championship of the Grand Magic Games.
On top of that, due to Fairy Tail's outstanding performance at the Grand Magic Games, the number of requests for the guild had suddenly skyrocketed.
Among them were quite a few designated requests.
That is, requests specifically assigned to a certain mage to complete.
Naturally, Kenichi, Erza, Mirajane, Wendy, and others also received such requests.
Especially Kenichi, who received the most designated requests.
However, Kenichi rejected the vast majority of them.
The scene zooms in on the Fairy Tail's guild hall.
Just like usual, the guild hall was extremely lively.
"Master, we just received an urgent request!"
Wendy walked up to Makarov, who was sitting on the counter, and handed him a document.
They had received many designated requests and urgent requests these past few days.
Makarov didn't pay too much attention.
Hearing Wendy, Makarov put down the glass in his hand and casually took the request list Wendy handed over.
However, when Makarov clearly saw the content on the request list, his old face changed dramatically as if he had seen a ghost.
"This is…"
Seeing Makarov show such a grave expression, Wendy asked: "Is there a problem with the request?"
"Maybe it's very difficult? If it's too difficult, we can just turn it down. There have been way too many clients these days!"
Macao, who was nearby, also chimed in.
"No, there's no problem with the task. And we absolutely must accept it!"
Makarov first responded to Wendy and Macao, then jumped down from the counter and called out loudly: "Kenichi, is Kenichi here?"
"Um... Kenichi-nii went on a job with Mira-san and Erza-san!"
Wendy spoke up.
"Of all times for him to be away?!"
"Master, don't worry. Kenichi-nii and the others went by magic airship. I'm sure they'll be back soon!"
Although Wendy said this, thinking about the client named on the task list made Makarov extremely anxious.
For the following period, everyone watched as Makarov, holding a task list, paced back and forth incessantly at the guild entrance, frequently looking outside.
His expression seemed exceptionally anxious.
After who knows how long, Romeo rushed in and reported: "Master! Kenichi-nii and Mira-nee are back!"
Hearing Romeo, Makarov rushed outside the guild.
Looking up, he saw a black magic airship hovering in the sky.
Immediately after, the figures of Kenichi, Erza, and Mirajane appeared on the ground below the airship as if teleporting.
"Kenichi, you're finally back!"
Seeing Kenichi, Erza, and the others, Makarov hurried over and said.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Makarov so anxious, Erza was the first to ask.
Kenichi raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something.
'Could it be that the request from that person has arrived?!'
Looking at Makarov's grave expression, Kenichi thought to himself.
From what Kenichi knew, after the Grand Magic Games concluded, Warrod Sequen, one of the Four Gods of Ishgar, would issue a personal request to Fairy Tail.
Makarov cared deeply about this request from Warrod.
Of course, Makarov's concern for Warrod wasn't just because Warrod was one of the Four Gods of Ishgar.
More importantly, Warrod was one of the founders of Fairy Tail.
As a legendary elder of Fairy Tail, Makarov naturally cared about Warrod's request.
Just as Kenichi was thinking this, Makarov said to him: "Kenichi, there's a designated request for you. It was issued by Warrod Sequen, one of the Four Gods of Ishgar!"
'Warrod!'
When Kenichi heard this name, his eyebrow twitched, and an expression of confirmation appeared on his face.
When Macao, Wakaba, and the others heard Makarov, they were all extremely surprised.
Of course, their surprise wasn't because of the name Warrod, after all, they had no idea who Warrod was.
They were surprised by the title [Four Gods of Ishgar].
What were the Four Gods of Ishgar?
They were the top four of the Wizard Saints, figures at the pinnacle of magic on the entire continent.
Now, learning that such a great figure would also issue a request, Macao and the others were naturally very surprised.
"The Four Gods of Ishgar? Why would such a great person come to our guild to issue a request?"
Macao asked, puzzled.
"That goes without saying! It must be a task they can't complete themselves and want Kenichi-nii's help to finish it!"
Romeo said proudly.
"How is that possible? How could there be a task in this world that someone like the Four Gods of Ishgar cannot complete?"
"Dad, you shouldn't overestimate the Four Gods of Ishgar either. Kenichi-nii can instantly kill dozens of dragons. I doubt those so-called Four Gods can do that. Moreover, Kenichi-nii and the others completed the 100-Years Quest. I suspect the Four Gods probably couldn't do that either."
The Four Gods of Ishgar were considered legendary figures in the hearts of mages across the Ishgar Continent.
And Macao, hearing the title [Four Gods of Ishgar], had also overestimated their strength.
But after hearing Romeo's words, Macao remembered that their guild had an even more legendary figure: Kenichi.
"So you're saying Kenichi's strength is even greater than that of the Four Gods of Ishgar?"
Macao looked at Kenichi and asked excitedly.
"Although they haven't fought, I think Kenichi-nii is stronger!"
Romeo looked at Kenichi, his face full of admiration.
Hearing Macao and Romeo's words, Kenichi just smiled faintly and didn't say much.
If he had to say, Kenichi's strength was definitely far above that of the Four Gods of Ishgar.
After all, the current Four Gods of Ishgar, even if the three and Jura joined forces, were no match for God Serena, one of the Spriggan 12.
And God Serena was instantly killed by Acnologia.
Kenichi was confident that his own strength was now on par with Acnologia's.
Comparing it this way, the Four Gods of Ishgar were naturally no match for Kenichi.
