Chapter 93 - New Developments

Makarov: Axel, you are getting too much violent... I know Erza won't say anything to you that is why I wanted to speak with you.

Axel: So what did you wanted to say??

Makarov: What you did was wrong.

Axel: Why?? Because I hurt your son or the people who threatened my Guildmates??

Makarov: Ivan choose his path... but you should have knocked them out and handed them to the authorities.

Axel: Old man... both you and I know how that stuff works. They get sent to jail and a few days later they break out and come back to attack us again and again. I am not a Saint that I should forgive anyone. I could have let the matter go since they attacked us all the a_d_u_l_ts but they had the gall to attack that small girl Asuka. No matter how much cold I look or behave I care for my Guildmates.

After saying his part Axel walked away and Makarov stood there contemplating the things Axel said when a small girl showed up beside him.

Mavis: He is right in a way... there are two paths. One, you can forgive your enemy and let him go and the other, punish your enemy so that he never dares to attack again. Both paths are right but his determination is strong. What people think about him doesn't matter to him... keeping his friends and family safe is the only thing matters to him.

After that Mavis also disappears while Makarov looks at the setting sun and walks away.

~WITH ERZA~

After the games were over Erza was called by the Game authorities. She knew what they were going to talk about but she didn't care anymore. What Axel did may have been seemed to be extreme but if doing this stops further attacks on her family or removes a future enemy then she didn't mind that. She knocked on the door and was someone's voice came from inside giving her permission to enter.

Member1: I am not going to beat around the bush, let's talk about what Axel did.

Member2: He openly crippled members of a light Guild in front of everyone.

Erza: So what??

All of the men were shocked hearing Erza answer.

Erza: I know what he did can be viewed as extreme but let me ask you how can you let a whole team fight against one of the members of my Guild.

Member3: That...

Member1: That doesn't give him any right to do that.

Erza: You see... when he saw five members fighting against him, he got scared and was unable to hold back.

All the faces turned sour when they heard that. They knew what Erza was doing but they also cant refute that. They knew Axel was super strong maybe the strongest but they cant point fingers at him after Erza said something like that.

Erza: So what will happen to the scores??

Member3: The scores will be the average of both the teams... I hope you don't mind right.

Erza: I don't mind.

Member4: Then all of this is currently taken care of, you may leave.

Erza walked back to her sleeping quarters when she found a girl waiting for her someone in front of their building. Erza looked closely and saw that she was the Raven Tail member who attacked Asuka.

Erza: What are you doing here??

The girl turned around and she still had swollen lips and her frontal teeth were gone. She bowed down her head in front of Erza, Erza was taken back by her action.

Flare: Please forgive me... didn't know what I did was wrong. Please let me ask for forgiveness for everything I did.

Erza: Why don't we go inside and have a talk.

Erza: Cana, can you heal her?

Cana: Sure.

Erza: There are some new developments, I am calling the others to discuss.

After that Erza walks out and Flare gets even more scared because she was left in a room with the man who crippled her whole team including her Master without showing mercy. Cana notices this and decides to speak up.

Cana: No need to be scared, Axel won't harm you. He knew that you weren't evil or bad like the others. That is the reason he didn't cripple you.

Flare: I think I understand, please forgive me for what I did.

Flare said bowing down her head and Cana has started to heal her. After some time she was completely healed and sat silently without saying anything more. Erza came into the room with the other team and Alzack, Bisca, and Asuka after seeing Flare they immediately went into their fighting stance.

Erza: Don't worry she didn't come to attack.

Laxus: Weren't you arrested??

Everyone nodded and after that Flare started to tell them why she did, what she did. After the explanation, she again bowed down her head and asked for forgiveness. After hearing her story everyone decided to forgive her.

Erza: Why don't you join our Guild Flare??

Flare didn't know what to say... but after thinking for a few minutes she decided to join them. Erza asked Mira to give her a Guild Mark, after getting her Guild Mark she stayed seated at the side.

Erza: Now let's talk about the next topic. Since Raven Tail is kicked out they now have an odd number of teams. They want us to dissolve one of the teams.

Ultear: I understand... but what will happen to the scores??

Erza: We will be getting the average of both scores.

All of them nodded their heads, all of them agreed to the new developments.

Axel: I am bored with the games, I won't be participating.

Cana: Neither will I.

Ultear: I still need to be in the game.

Ur: I will be bored if I don't participate.

Erza: Ok... then the new team will be Ur, Ultear, Laxus, Natsu, and Gajeel.

Though Gray and Elfman looked unsatisfied, but they also agreed with the decision. They knew that they were weaker than others on the new team so they nodded reluctantly.

Erza: Tomorrow is a break so we are going to enjoy that to our fullest...
