Makarov saw Gar asking about this, put down the wine glass in his hand, and sighed:
"I did tell him, but he still can't accept it."
"Now he trains in the forest all day, I don't know if it's aimed at me or something else."
Makarov showed a wry smile on his face, and Gar comforted him:
"He just can't accept it."
"It's not aimed at you, he's not completely clueless."
"Find a chance to have a good chat."
Makarov nodded, took a sip of wine:
"That's the only way."
"What about you?"
"What are your plans next?"
Gar said:
"Next, I will also cultivate for a while."
"Hades really taught me a solid lesson."
"Magic power is everything."
Makarov nodded:
"That's true."
"It's good for you to settle down, otherwise if you have too many methods."
"Although you know everything, you don't master anything."
After speaking, Makarov raised his head, turned around and looked towards the entrance:
"Speaking of which, what are you doing with all these tables?"
On both sides of the entrance, all the tables were moved to their target positions by a group of energetic children.
Gar said:
"Didn't I say?"
"Snowy days and hot pot are a better match."
Makarov was a little confused:
"Hot pot?"
Lisanna and Cana beside him looked at Gar with curiosity.
Gar said with a smile:
"Watch this."
Saying that, he looked towards Gray at the entrance, who had almost finished arranging the tables:
"Are you done?"
Gray nodded heavily:
"Done, Gar!"
Gar nodded and said:
"Everyone spread out a bit."
When everyone heard this, they quickly moved away from the tables, watching Gar intently, wondering what he was going to do.
Gar, who was sitting at the bar, snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Eighteen metal squares appeared on the neatly arranged tables, scattered evenly on the tables on both sides.
Then Gar snapped his fingers again.
Below the eighteen metal squares, the magic circle of Arc of Embodiment appeared.
As the magic circle of Arc of Embodiment activated.
The eighteen metal squares began to emit light, then began to melt and disperse.
Brand new tableware and hot pot bodies appeared on the table.
Gray and Lyon widened their eyes, looking at the hot pot body, remembering something:
"Ah!"
"It's that!"
"The one Gar made on the Great Snow Mountain before!"
Everyone was curious after hearing this:
"What?"
Gray and Lyon scratched their heads, unable to explain:
"It's just... Anyway, it's really delicious."
As Gray's words fell, flames ignited beneath the hot pot bodies, and water appeared out of thin air in the pots, filling them up.
Gar raised his hands, following the sound of snapping fingers.
Plates of sliced meat and vegetables appeared out of thin air, joining together on the long tables on both sides, appearing and landing smoothly and orderly on the table.
Gar stood up and said:
"Gray."
"You and Lyon teach them how to eat."
"I'll go bring the others over."
"Also... you two put your clothes on."
Gray was about to start teaching everyone how to eat when he heard Gar's words and quickly looked down:
"Ah! Where are my clothes?!"
Town edge.
A small house near the forest to the East.
Rob was wearing cotton clothes and sitting at the entrance of the house, watching Erza's training, occasionally imparting battle experience, and in the river nearby, Dratini was swimming and playing in the water.
Swish!
Gar suddenly appeared in the yard, looked at Rob and nodded:
"Rob Old Man."
Rob said with a smile:
"It's Gar."
Erza also stopped swinging her sword, a smile appearing on her face:
"You're back, Gar."
Gar smiled and nodded, then said:
"There's a gathering at the Guild."
"Come along."
Erza's face showed difficulty:
"Today's training isn't finished yet."
Gar said without question:
"Everyone is there, it won't do without you."
Rob said with a smile:
"Erza, combining work and rest is also part of growth."
Seeing this, Erza could only say:
"Alright then."
Gar walked forward and pressed his hands on Erza and Rob's shoulders:
"Then let's go."
Swish!
The three disappeared in the yard.
The Dratini in the river nearby raised its head from the water with some confusion, looking towards the yard.
Hmm?
Where did they go?
Swish!
Gar appeared by the riverbank, Dratini was startled, then a happy smile appeared on its face, Gar smiled and stroked Dratini, then raised his hand and pointed at Dratini's head:
"Grow up quickly."
He sealed pure origin energy within Dratini's body.
When this Dratini evolves, it will absorb more energy and become stronger.
After doing this, Gar disappeared from here again.
His figure flickered and appeared in various places in Magnolia Town.
"Yo, Mirajane."
"Gar? You're back."
"Yeah, let's go back to the Guild first."
"Huh! Wait!"
Swish!
"Ur."
"Hmm? Gar, when did you get back?"
"Just got back."
"Stop training for now, the Guild is having a party, let's go back and eat hot pot."
"Huh?! Hot pot?!"
"The one from the Endless Snow Mountains last time? Let's go, let's go! Let's go back now!"
"No need to be so troublesome."
"Wait! My clo-"
"No one is looking."
Swish!
Magnolia Town.
In the forest to the West, on a cliff.
From here, you could see the Fairy Tail Guild in the distance, although the distance was great, everyone was gathered in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, figures bustling.
And the constantly steaming chimney, even if Laxus didn't want to pay attention, he couldn't help it.
Bang!
Punching the ground, there was no snow accumulation around Laxus.
The snowflakes melted before they even fell, by the scorching aura.
Gar's voice suddenly sounded:
"Training like this is useless."
Laxus turned his head to look, his expression softening a little:
"Gar."
Gar rubbed his chin and said:
"What?"
"You're not even calling me Gar anymore."
Laxus 'tch'ed and said in a deep voice:
"You're not much older than me."
This was the truth.
Although Gar was five, six, or seven years older than the children in the Guild, he was only a little over a year older than Laxus.
Gar shook his head and said:
"What?"
"Are you trying to move yourself and numb yourself with this kind of self-pitying training?"
"Ah, the whole world has abandoned me, I won't'smile' anymore, I want to train hard, I want to make them regret it!"
Laxus's eyes turned cold, looking at Gar:
"What did you say?"
Gar looked at Laxus:
"I said, you are trying to use this self-pitying..."
Laxus's furious voice sounded:
"Lightning Dragon's...!"
Boom—!!
With a loud bang, a large pit appeared on the edge of the cliff, the ground cracked, and the cliff was on the verge of collapsing.
Gar stood in front of the deep pit, looking at Laxus, whose muscles were twitching and who was trying to struggle to get up, and said:
"I said..."
"Are you trying to move yourself and numb yourself with this kind of self-pitying training?"
"Is there a problem?"
Well, strictly speaking, it's three and a half chapters, because four chapters didn't reach 10,000 words, it's a bit short.
