Fighting through pirates with Fairy Tail

Chapter 41 Two months have passed in a flash, and the S-rank Archmage assessment begins!

"Robbery?"

"You?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Do you know who we are?

"When it comes to robbery, we're the professionals."

Unrestrained laughter echoed throughout the hall of the bandit guild "Twilight Nightmare." These fierce-looking burly men looked at the couple who stood in front of the guild gate, pushing a stroller and trespassing into their lair, with disdain in their eyes.

"Hahaha……"

"To be honest, over the years, we, the Nightmare of Twilight, have traveled all over the country and have seen quite a few self-proclaimed righteous mages who have come to punish us."

"But this is the first time I've ever seen people pushing strollers and trying to rob us."

"Kid, do you really know what you're doing?! I'll make you pay a heavy price."

The leader of the bandit group sat on the throne at the far end of the hall, looking down at the intruders below, and spoke in an icy voice.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

"Hand over all your valuables!"

"The Roar of the Ice Dragon!"

The young man who had stormed into the bandits' guild hall, pushing a stroller, had no intention of wasting words with the bandits. As he spoke, a deep blue magic circle bearing the image of a dragon's head condensed in front of him, and a chilling current immediately roared out from the magic circle, freezing the dozens of bandits in front of him into ice sculptures.

"What?!"

"You're actually a mage?"

"It seems there's a reason why you dared to trespass here."

The bandit leader, who had been sitting on his throne deep in the guild hall, looking like a mountain king strategizing, was shocked when he saw his underlings being instantly killed by the intruder in a single move. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said nervously.

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Ice-inspired Rose Garden!"

Before the bandit leader could utter any more nonsense, another azure magic circle lit up in the guild hall. Blue roses made of ice immediately bloomed throughout the bandit guild. The beautiful flowers were mesmerizing, and apart from the bandit leader, all the members of Twilight Nightmare instantly turned into motionless ice sculptures.

"what?"

The bandit leader was stunned by what he saw. Staring at the figure closing in on him through the cold current, he took a deep breath and said, "No, don't come any closer! I'm willing to give you all the treasure I've accumulated over the years, please spare my life."

"boom!"

The moment the bandit leader finished speaking, the young man who had been pushing a stroller dozens of meters away from him appeared in front of him in a blur.

"idiot."

Without a word, the young man raised his hand and froze the bandit leader into an ice sculpture, then shook his head and said, "If I kill you, all your treasure will be mine."

"Uru".

"Let's take stock of the treasure."

After the young man swiftly killed the bandit leader, he immediately turned to his wife and spoke gently.

"Okay, Id."

As the woman responded to the young man, the two placed the stroller aside and rummaged through the basement of the guild "Twilight Nightmare," plundering all the treasures they had looted over the years. They then spread the treasures out in the guild hall, looking at the countless gold coins before them, and said with a grin, "We've struck it rich!"

Yes, the couple who broke into the bandit guild "Twilight Nightmare" without permission, wiped out all the bandits, and acted in a double-crossing manner are Ido and Ul. The children in the stroller are Ultear and Erza.

Well, in Id and Uru's opinion, the efficiency of completing tasks and earning rewards through normal means is too low. Sure enough, making money through black-market operations is much faster.

"With this money, we can not only build a villa in Magnolia, but also help Old Ma reduce some of the burden on the guild."

After counting the wealth that Twilight Nightmare had accumulated over the years, Id and Uru lay in a sea of ​​gold coins and said excitedly.

"Gold coins~"

"So many gold coins~"

Beside Id and Uru, Ulutia, who was over a year old, jumped down from her stroller. She grabbed the gold coins on the ground with her tiny, chubby hands and smiled happily.

Ultear hasn't learned many words yet. Besides saying "Papa" and "Mama," she only knows words related to gold coins.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle."

Even the younger Erza, upon seeing the gold coins scattered all over the ground, excitedly waved her little hands and danced with joy.

"Let's go back to the guild."

After taking a short rest amidst the sea of ​​gold coins, Id and Uru immediately used ice-shaping magic to create a large vehicle and loaded all the gold coins inside.

After doing all this, Id was responsible for acting as the power source, pulling the mountain-like vehicle forward on the ground, while Uru and the children sat in the vehicle, taking care of the children and keeping an eye on the gold coins.

"boom!"

So, with Id running at full speed, the family headed straight towards the town of Magnolia.

From that moment on, a couple appeared in the Kingdom of Fiore who specialized in robbing bandits while pushing a baby stroller. This rumor, which was 'strange' in every way, spread throughout the entire continent of Ishgar at an astonishing speed.

Time flies.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

The year is April of X765.

Magnolia town.

The Fairy Tail guild hall was bustling with people. Nearly 90% of the Fairy Tail members had returned on time and gathered in the guild hall, quietly waiting for Guild Master Makarov, who was standing on the podium, to announce the list of candidates and the rules for this year's S-class mage examination.

"Cough cough."

On the stage, Makarov, the guild leader, cleared his throat twice. His serious gaze swept across the room, taking in all the familiar faces within the guild. After confirming that all members were present, he announced softly, "I hereby declare the Fairy Tail Guild X765 S-Class Mage Examination officially open!"

"First, I will announce the list of candidates for this year's S-class mage examination. They are Macao Kongbo, Wakaba Mine, Ivan Doraeus..."

Makarov first named three people, names that did not surprise the Fairy Tail members present.

"Wakaba has certainly worked hard enough this year."

"Macao's strength should not be underestimated."

"As the guild master's son, Ivan can be considered the top seed in this year's Fairy Tail guild S-class mage exam."

In the hall, everyone evaluated the candidates announced by Makarov for the assessment.

"Finally, there are Uru Mirkovic and Id, who joined the association this year."

Just when everyone in the guild thought that the list of candidates for this year's S-rank mage assessment had come to an end, Makarov's voice continued to ring out.
