"The Ten Wizard Saints?"
Moen was indeed a little surprised to hear this news.
He hadn't expected the old fogies of the Magic Council to be so receptive, to go to such lengths, even relinquishing the title of one of the Ten Wizard Saints that they had held onto so tightly.
"That's right, congratulations, President Moen."
Jura Regis looked on with envy. For mages, being named one of the "Ten Wizard Saints" was an extremely prestigious title, the greatest recognition of a mage's strength and achievements.
"Then I won't refuse."
Without much thought, Moen accepted the "highest honor in the magical world".
Calling it an "honorary title" is perfectly fine, because the current "Ten Wizards of the High Primal Mage" is just a title and doesn't actually have the corresponding power. Moen previously proposed that the "Ten Wizards of the High Primal Mage" also serve as councilors, but that was rejected.
If the "Ten Wizard Saints" were to become council members, then the old council members would have no chance. How could they possibly compete with the "Ten Wizard Saints"? They are all true veterans and real powerhouses. They would naturally be inferior to them and would have no competitive advantage whatsoever.
The reason why "Zek Rein" was able to become a council member was because "Zek Rein" came from their own "Magic Council" system, unlike the "Ten Wizards" who came from outside.
Even so, they would still be led by the nose by "Zek Rein" in many things, especially when it came to fighting. He was one of the "Ten Wizard Saints", and he was strong in combat. When it came to matters related to fighting, why should they listen to the weak instead of the strong?
The Ten Wizard Saints have already made their judgment. What right do you, someone whose strength is inferior to theirs, have to question it? Even if you do stand up and question it, how many people will support you?
Therefore, the fact that "Zek Rein" was revealed prematurely truly saved the Magic Council and its members; otherwise, who knows what terrible mistakes might have occurred later.
The Magic Council still has some resources; if it were to misuse those things, the entire continent of Ishgar would suffer.
"Although they don't have much real power, the status of the Ten Wizard Saints is undeniable, especially for someone like Chairman Moen who earned his place among the Ten Wizard Saints through his own efforts. Zeke Rein and Joseph Pollack were both among the Ten Wizard Saints, but you defeated them all. That's incredibly impressive."
"Mission accomplished," Jura Regis began to speak at length.
In Jura Regis's mind, Moen was definitely a true powerhouse among the "Ten Wizards." The existing "Ten Wizards" were mostly old guys, and Jura Regis might not even have been born when they became famous.
So Jura Regis showed more respect for the old guys than anything else, but it was different with Moen.
Moen's path to fame was one that these people had witnessed all along. Jura Regis was seven or eight years older than Moen, but they could be considered to be of the same generation. Moreover, because he was older, he was more shocked than his peers.
"I really need to learn from you."
Jura Regis spoke very seriously. He now increasingly regarded Moen as his life goal. He did not expect to actually reach Moen's level or achieve Moen's accomplishments, as that was too unrealistic. He only hoped to keep striving in that direction.
Because Moen is not even 20 years old yet, his future achievements are limitless, and no one can guess how high Moen can reach.
Just as Senator Og said, Moen is a protagonist of his time, like Zeref and the Black Dragon, an existence that can influence future generations for hundreds or thousands of years, and is not comparable to ordinary people.
Jura Regis understood that it was truly their good fortune that Moen was on the right path, and they really had to thank Makarov and Fairy Tail for bringing them such a group of good people.
"You flatter me, it was just a small matter."
Moen smiled and shook his head, signaling Jura Regis not to be so serious. This guy's expression was so determined, like he was going to blow up a bunker, which put a lot of pressure on people. What if he didn't set a good example in the future? Wouldn't that make Jura Regis very sad?
"Now that the message has been delivered, I won't stay any longer. A dedicated team will be coming to coordinate with the Fiord Alliance to ensure a smooth handover and operation of affairs in the Kingdom of Fiord."
Jura Regis didn't linger; he needed to hurry back to the guild, as he was still an "S-rank mage" of "Snake Scale".
"By the way, the reform of the mage ranking system is also underway. There should be results in a few days. The changes won't be too significant."
After saying goodbye, Jura Rekis suddenly remembered something else.
This news is closely related to "Fairy Tail," since this whole thing was originally driven forward because of "Fairy Tail."
"Really? What's the new level?"
Moen nodded, asking with some curiosity. He hadn't actually told Gulan Doma about this, and it wasn't anything serious.
Moreover, Moen shouldn't overstep his bounds and interfere arbitrarily. Things can't be done too excessively. Besides, this "magician ranking" system has been in use for over a hundred years, and reforming it now definitely needs to be discussed carefully before making a decision.
"It's basically adding two new ranks above S-rank mages."
Jura Rekis explained.
"But what exactly it will be hasn't been decided yet."
Because he was on a mission, Jura Regis did not participate in the subsequent meetings, so he really couldn't be sure what the new "magician rank" was.
"Two levels?"
Moen's expression gradually became strange. Adding two new ranks above "S-rank mage"—could it be "SS-rank mage" and "SSS-rank mage"? It's really hard not to think that way.
"S, double S, triple S" is indeed a very common usage, especially since the preceding levels are ordered as "DCBA".
Just like if the "magician rank" is "R" in front, then it would naturally make people feel that it should be followed by "SR" or "SSR".
"They should issue an announcement as soon as possible."
Jura Rekis wasn't sure either, so this was all he could say.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Jura Regis left the guild hall.
Immediately after Jura Regis left, the Fairy Tail guild hall became noisy and bustling.
"Unbelievable! Moen actually became one of the Ten Wizard Saints!"
Marcao sighed, still doubting the reality of the situation. Could he be dreaming? It felt too real!
"What are you saying?! Isn't this just common sense?!"
Wakaba chimed in with a comment: "If Moen can't even become one of the 'Ten Wizards,' then what's the point of having that title?"
"Remember! It was Moen who made the Ten Wizard Saints more prestigious, not the other way around. Don't get it backwards. Before becoming a Ten Wizard Saint, Moen had already defeated two other Ten Wizard Saints!"
Wakaba shouted loudly from the side, which immediately drew cheers from everyone. This was no exaggeration, as it was all true.
"Celebrate! Celebrate! Let's have a feast!"
The crowd chattered excitedly, this was a truly joyous occasion, and of course it deserved a grand celebration.
No matter what people say, the prestige of being one of the "Ten Wizard Saints" is undeniable, and everyone in the guild is extremely envious. Natsu, Gray, and the others all feel a sense of "a true man should be like this."
It's not that he can be replaced. As guild members, they understand better than outsiders how terrifying Moen's strength is.
This is a genius who started a "cozy" atmosphere in the guild from a young age. Not only is his talent unparalleled, but he also works many times harder than you. No matter how much he achieves, no one can be jealous of him.
These honors are all deserved by Moen. People only feel indignant when Moen is treated unfairly. Just like when Zeke Rein became one of the Ten Wizard Saints, everyone in Fairy Tail felt that the Magic Council was corrupt and that Zeke Rein was definitely no match for Moen.
And as it turned out, everyone's thoughts were correct. Not only was "Zek Rein" no match for Moen, but he was also sent to prison, and the entire "Magic Council" was reorganized as a result.
This result is truly gratifying for everyone in "Fairy Tail," especially since it was "Fairy Tail" that initiated this event.
Marcao was shocked that Moen would be granted the title of one of the "Ten Wizard Saints." It was for this reason that the title of "Magic Council Member" was not something that could be obtained simply by being strong enough.
Gildarts has been famous for so many years but has not won. Both of them became famous at a young age, but they would rather give it to Zeke Rein than to Moen. Being a member of the Fairy Tail guild is definitely not a plus in the competition for the Ten Wizard Saints.
Marcao had always believed that Fairy Tail would not have any more Wizarding Wizards before Makarov passed away, but now that belief has been shattered.
This made Marcao realize that the Magic Council's attitude had changed. They might have been genuinely frightened by Zeref and the "Black Dragon," or perhaps they were truly intimidated by Moen's strength.
Looking at Moen, who was surrounded by a crowd and beaming with smiles, Marcao felt a pang of emotion, thinking that God was truly blessed to Fairy Tail.
The little baby who was carried back to the guild by the old man, staring with innocent big eyes in his swaddling clothes and unable to speak, has now grown into a powerful figure who can even make the "Magic Council" submit, and who can even go toe-to-toe with those terrifying beings from ancient legends. And this child is not even twenty years old yet.
"In seven days, Magnolia will be hosting a grand celebration! Everything will be on me! Everyone who comes is a friend! There will be wine and meat to eat!"
Amidst the crowd, Moen loudly announced his decision: if a celebration was to be held, then it should be a grand affair, not just a lively event within the guild.
As the lord of Magnolia and the "Grand Duke of Roses" of the kingdom, he also wants to spread the joy of "Fairy Tail" to more people, not only the villagers of Magnolia, but also tourists who come to visit.
"Ohhhh!!!"
"Yay! Yay!"
Upon hearing the news, the guild members became even more excited. They were always happy to participate in such lively celebrations, just like the annual "Harvest Festival," which was definitely the most fun day for everyone in Fairy Tail.
To participate in the festival, they even skipped their missions, and to perform well at the festival, everyone pulled out all the stops. This is the style of "Fairy Tail"—it never disappoints when it comes to fun and exciting events.
Although the celebration was scheduled for seven days later, that didn't stop everyone from celebrating today. The guild was lively until very late. The guild had gained another "Ten Wizards" and the beloved new guild leader, Moen. Everyone in the guild was naturally overjoyed.
Moen, of course, wouldn't spoil the fun and played around with everyone for a long time. The pressure from "Black Dragon" and Zeref had been constant, keeping everyone on edge, and they really needed to let off some steam.
The next day, the new "magician rankings" were indeed announced, and the news that Moen had been awarded the title of "one of the Ten Wizard Saints" was also announced by the "Magic Council".
For a time, the entire continent of Ishgar was filled with news about Moen. There was no way around it; Moen was a true top star.
Now that he has been awarded the title of "Ten Wizard Saints", it is equivalent to an official endorsement. As mentioned before, even with the incidents involving Joseph Pora and Zeke Rein, the prestige of the "Ten Wizard Saints" title remains undiminished.
Furthermore, both of those "Ten Wizards" were defeated by Moen, and now Moen has become a "Grand Wizard," which further proves the prestige of the "Ten Wizards."
Moen's becoming one of the "Ten Wizard Saints" made his achievements more widely recognized, and he also salvaged the prestige of the "Ten Wizard Saints" title, resulting in a mutually beneficial relationship.
The news that Magnolia would be holding a grand celebration for this event spread quickly, attracting a large number of tourists who wanted to join in the fun. With the well-developed railway network, seven days was enough time for many people to travel there.
In no time, the hotels in Magnolia were fully booked again, and even the hotels in the surrounding cities were full. These people planned to stay in the surrounding cities for a day first, and then rush over on the day of the festival. Everyone who came to Magnolia was also sharing their experiences, and various travel guides were even published in the newspapers.
