"I can guarantee that they will definitely not bully the weak or commit crimes like Red Lizard or Blue Skull did in the future. Instead, they will use the magic they've learned to help people in difficulty."
Hearing this, the villagers' expressions became varied and colorful.
Some were excited, while others were worried.
"Weston, if a new magic guild can be established in the village and the school reopened, we would naturally be happy to see it happen."
"It's just that, will it be too strenuous for you alone to educate so many people at the same time?"
"Yeah, yeah... that brat of mine is very naughty!"
So they were worried about this...
"Everyone, rest assured. I am their 'Boss' now, so there's no need to worry too much about management for the time being. As for the manpower issue, I already have an idea."
"Mavis will serve as my deputy!"
As Weston spoke, he stepped aside and pushed Mavis, who was standing behind him, in front of everyone.
Receiving such an important task for the first time, Mavis couldn't help but look a little nervous: "Everyone... I will do my best!"
"Mavis??"
Everyone looked stunned.
They naturally knew Mavis.
After all, there were only these few dozen children left in the village now, and for the past month, everyone had practically eaten and lived together. Even if they were strangers before, they were now familiar with each other.
Not to mention, compared to ordinary children, Mavis was more mature, intelligent, optimistic, and disliked wearing shoes.
Seeing that everyone was only puzzled but not opposed or dissatisfied, Weston secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mavis is very smart and learns things very quickly. I think everyone should have seen this after spending the past month together."
"Not only that, Mavis, like me, is also someone who has already learned magic!"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately exclaimed.
"What?"
"Mavis actually knows magic?! I couldn't tell at all..."
"Come to think of it, she never mentioned it before, nor did she act like she knew magic. It's normal that we couldn't tell..."
After everyone calmed down, Weston continued, "More than a month ago, Mavis awakened her magic and can create illusions that are hard to distinguish from reality."
"On the night Blue Skull invaded Tenrou Island, I came to the village to notify everyone. Later, I was trapped by the enemy, and in the end, it was thanks to her help that I could escape from the pursuit of those mages."
"How about this, Mavis, show us a little something so everyone can see your magic."
"Mmn, I understand."
Mavis took a step forward, circulated the magic power in her body, and activated her "Illusion Magic."
Instantly, a large number of animals appeared out of thin air on the field.
Birds, elk, squirrels, raccoons, cats, dogs, cows, horses, fish... all were vivid and lifelike, indistinguishable from real animals!!
"So... so magical!!"
The villagers were all dumbfounded by the scene before them.
Someone couldn't help but reach out to touch them, only to find their hand passing directly through the animals.
"Passed through?!"
"It really is an illusion!"
"How about it? Now everyone should believe in Mavis's magical talent, right?"
"Of course! Of course!..."
Mavis's exquisite illusions successfully conquered the hearts of the villagers.
Thus, the establishment of the new magic guild "Fairy Tail" was decided.
Weston was the Master, and Mavis was the Vice Master.
As for Zera...
"What did you say?!"
"I'm just an ordinary member?!"
Back home, upon learning that she hadn't even been assigned a decent position, Zera stomped her feet in anger.
—This was the "home" of Weston, Mavis, and Zera!
The three of them were originally from "Red Lizard" and knew each other well.
They had also experienced that restless night together, as well as the three days and nights in the underground cave relying on each other for survival, establishing an unbreakable deep friendship in their hearts.
After returning to the surface, the three chose to live together to look after each other.
Now, they had been living together for over a month.
"Regrettably," because the survivors on the island had to rebuild the village and supplies were scarce, even after moving into the new home, they could only sleep in the same bed and share the same quilt.
"I don't accept this!"
Zera grabbed Weston by the collar and shook him vigorously: "I've learned magic too! Why can Mavis be the Vice Master, but I'm just an ordinary member?!"
"It can't be helped. Who told Mavis to be smarter than you?"
Weston was already used to her actions and remained calm throughout: "But if you really want a position, I'll let you be my assistant!"
Zera stopped immediately, her eyes shining: "Assistant? Doing what?"
"Help me organize documents, massage my waist and legs, serve tea and water..."
"Isn't that just a follower?!"
Thinking about how she used to be the Young Miss and Weston was the follower, and now their positions were swapped, Zera's eyes instantly turned red.
"You, you, you... this is simply turning the world upside down!!"
"See if I don't teach you a lesson!!"
...
The next day.
Tenrou Village School.
More than seventy children gathered in a spacious classroom, sitting upright, quietly watching Weston on the podium.
"Starting today, I will conduct knowledge education for you as the Master of the 'Fairy Tail' guild and the Principal of the 'Tenrou Village School'."
"The curriculum is arranged as follows."
"Three classes every morning: 'Language,' 'Mathematics,' and 'Magic Theory'."
"Starting at eight o'clock, each class lasts one hour, with a fifteen-minute break between each class."
"Three hours of 'Magic Training' every afternoon, starting at two o'clock and ending at five o'clock."
"After five consecutive days of such classes, there will be two days of rest, and the cycle repeats."
"Do you have any questions?"
Below the podium, a small hand was raised tremblingly.
"Student, what is your question?"
The owner of the small hand pointed at Weston's eye and asked, "Boss, why is there a bruise next to your eye?"
Other children also nodded, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Boss, were you bullied by someone?"
"Tell us, we'll avenge you!"
"That's right, that's right..."
Sitting at the very edge of the first row, Zera's eyes wandered, pretending to admire the scenery outside the window, turning a deaf ear to the noise in the classroom.
Weston coughed awkwardly twice.
"Ahem... You mean this?"
"It's nothing, I just accidentally bumped into a door last night."
"Eh—??"
Several children put their palms against their faces and wondered, "That's so strange! The nose clearly protrudes more than the eyes. If you bumped into a door, it should be the nose that swells up..."
"Cut the chatter!"
"In public, address me by my title!"
"Call me Master!"
