Chapter 32: Phantom Lord – The Beginning of War (5)
Deep within the eastern forest of Magnolia,
there stood a house carved into the trunk of a massive tree.
It was the home of Porlyusica — an old acquaintance of Makarov’s and a wizard specializing in healing.
She disliked humans and lived in seclusion, but as a specialist in curing magic-related injuries, Makarov, Bob, and Goldmine often came to her for medicine.
To treat Makarov’s wounds, Alzak and Bisc...

Chapter 545: Plans and Arrangements
“Remember what you should be doing. Focus on where you stand now, and figure out exactly what your future goals are—and what you need to do to reach them.”
Coach Kataoka’s words were steady, not rushed, and his tone wasn’t harsh.
But every single word, every sentence, landed like a hammer against the hearts of the players, making each of them stand even straighter, their expressions turning graver.
“We lost the game f...

The headquarters of the wizard guild Phantom Lord.
The place was steeped in a damp, chilling aura that seemed to seep straight through the walls.
Lucy awoke there.
“…Nngh? …Huh? …Wha—?!”
Slowly opening her eyes, she glanced around, only to realize her hands were bound. She scrambled up in alarm.
“What is this?! Where am I?!”
“You’re awake, Miss Lucy Heartfilia.”

Chapter 544: Reflection Meeting
That night, Sawamura slept unusually well.
Perhaps it was because he had finally sorted out his thoughts.
Perhaps it was because of that late-night call from Wakana.
Perhaps it was because he was the type who could pick things up and let them go just as easily.
Or perhaps… well, for reasons he couldn’t name.
When Kuramochi returned to the dorm later that night, he found their ace junior already fast asleep, the corners ...

Magnolia Hospital
In the hospital room where the Shadow Gear team was admitted, Lucy sat with her head lowered, her expression heavy and somber.
“How could they… do something so vile…? Phantom Lord…”
Looking at Levy, lying before her wrapped in bandages, Lucy felt a deep sense of self-reproach.
Since joining Fairy Tail, she had made her first real friend.
And yet, when that friend was in ...

The night flowed on quietly.
Lying on his bed in the dorm, Eijun felt an odd emptiness, as if something important had been pulled out of him.
It wasn’t just the fact that he usually spent this time training and now could only lie here, idle.
It was because…
Only now did he truly realize it.
Today, on the grand stage of the Jingu Stadium finals—
They had lost.

“Mm, it’s nothing serious. The doctor said I just need a month of rest, and in about a week the swelling should be completely gone.”
Eijun smiled as he lightly raised his left arm to show it, speaking in a calm voice.
“I see… so it’s nothing major after all, huh.”
Narumiya’s words came out sounding casual, but to Eijun, it was clear—right after he said that, there was a faint glimmer of relief in the ace’s eyes....

The Tokyo Autumn Tournament Finals, which had drawn attention not only across Tokyo but all of Kanto, had finally come to an end.
The result itself wasn't exactly surprising.
Whether Seidou or Inashiro won, most had seen either outcome as entirely plausible before the match began.
Both teams were evenly matched—a true 50-50 battle.
So while the result wasn’t unexpected…
The process was.

Just before the train was set to depart, the Dark Guild Eisenwald launched a surprise attack, seizing control of the train.

“Everyone off! Passengers, conductors—get out! This train now belongs to Eisenwald!”
Panicked, all the passengers scrambled to grab their belongings and fled the train as fast as they could.
