Chapter 548 The Complainer - Lucy
Being a die-hard Fairy Tail fan, Jason showed great interest even with the fabricated story, bombarding him with questions.
His enthusiasm made Chase feel a little embarrassed to lie to him—the black dragon, the forbidden god, and the future world had such a huge impact.
In the end, it was the understanding Mira who subtly reminded him that there wasn't much time left for the interview.
Jason then stopped asking questions with a look of regret on his face, and then—
He then turned around and went to "harass" other guild members.
Not only were the returning members spared, but even the seasoned veterans like Makaowakaba were made to blush with embarrassment by all sorts of unserious questions.
"Mr. Jason, how did you know that Vadashi successfully passed the exam and became the guild's new S-rank mage?"
Just as Jason finished interviewing Wendy and Charlotte, Lucy seized the opportunity to move closer, raising her hand to brush aside her golden bangs and striking a pose that could be considered sexy.
"Wow, so beautiful! Are you a newcomer?!" Jason exclaimed.
"Finally—finally I'm seeing the charm of Vadashi!" Lucy thought to herself with delight, but on the surface she pretended to be nonchalant.
Jason has ignored her a total of eight times so far!
However, just as Lucy coughed twice, preparing to steal the spotlight, Jason swept past her without stopping, holding a camera and running straight up to Acreia and Mengmeng: "With a little yellow cat by your side, could it be—"
"This newcomer is also a Dragon Slayer Mage? Cool~!"
So the newcomer was talking about Acreia!
Mengmeng doesn't look like a cat at all!
Even cats have no direct connection with Dragon Slayer Mages!
No, Wadashi has been ignored again, for the ninth time!!
The poor blonde girl stood there awkwardly, her lips twitching uncontrollably, while the little figure that popped up above her head kept making sarcastic remarks.
"What an rude fellow! I'm not a cat, and Eclair isn't a Dragon Slayer!" Mengmeng huffed and puffed as she flapped her wings.
"Hello, Mr. Reporter."
Eclair greeted him with a smile, while slightly turning her body to expose the phoenix stone pendant she wore on the outside to the other party's magical camera lens.
She initially rejected Chase's plan to use the newspaper to lure out her other half, Phoenix Stone.
After all, this is the destiny I bear, and there is no need or reason to involve the guild and put it in an unclear and dangerous situation.
Although it had only been a few short months, Eclair had come to regard her companions, with whom she spent every day, as family. This strong feeling and bond was something she had never experienced in her more than four hundred years of wandering.
What convinced her to cooperate was precisely this: the affairs of her companions are the affairs of the guild.
Now that you've got the Fairy Tail crest tattooed on you, you have to abide by this ironclad rule!
Eclair stared at the emblem on the back of her hand for a long time, and based on her unconditional trust in Chase, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence with a wry smile: "I really don't know if I've boarded a pirate ship or if you've dragged a jinx into it," which was considered as agreeing to the operation.
"Hey, Miss Eclair, can you tell me your story of joining Fairy Tail? A cute girl like you has a great chance of becoming a cover girl!"
Jason's excited words reached her ears, and Eclair pulled herself together, glancing up at Chase who was currently showering Mira and Erza with affection. She said softly, "Cover girl forgets, let's add her to the Fairy Tail story—"
The Phoenix Witch gripped the phoenix stone pendant on her chest, a smile appearing on her icy face: "It's fine."
The interview concluded successfully amidst Jason's repeated "cool"s and Lucy's incredibly resentful gaze.
Passing by the invisible wall for the tenth time, Jason approached Bahamut, who was leaning against a stone pillar in the corner of the hall, resting with his eyes closed: "This gentleman with such a powerful aura must also be one of the newcomers—"
"You insignificant ants, get lost if you don't want to die," Bahamut said coldly, slightly raising his eyelids.
Upon hearing this, Jason was not affected at all; instead, he excitedly grabbed his camera and started snapping photos: "Cool~!!"
"————"
A flurry of camera flashes went off, and Bahamut's lips twitched. His vertical pupils darted around as he looked at Chase, who was currently showering Mira and Erza with affection.
After thinking for a moment, Pluto Dragon abandoned his idea of spitting the ants in front of him into dust, and simply raised the index finger of his left hand that was resting on his right arm.

boom!
Jason was instantly thrown into the air by the blast wave, tracing a graceful arc before crashing heavily against the opposite wall and slowly sliding to the ground.
When he stood up again, a large bump had appeared on his head, but he was still excited: "This familiar pain is definitely an unavoidable part of interviewing Fairy Tail!"
"Cool~!!"
During a previous Fairy Tail interview, he was unexpectedly caught up in Natsu and Gray's daily activities and took several punches.
This is one of the reasons why he was assigned here: other reporters at the Magic Weekly are simply not worthy of this "enthusiasm"!
Seeing this, Bahamut was completely speechless.
The Dragon King, more than four hundred years ago, witnessed firsthand the diversity of the human species.
"Wait, wait, my camera, the camera that recorded countless precious moments!" A wail suddenly came from Jason's side.
He was kneeling on the ground, with machine parts scattered all around him. The magic camera had fallen and shattered from the shockwave.
The Fairy Tail members all cast sympathetic glances at her, and those with soft hearts, like Wendy and Rachel, had already stepped forward to try and comfort the overly enthusiastic weekly magazine reporter.
However, one figure was much faster than them.
Lucy finally seized her chance and confidently knelt down in front of Jason, raising her hands with her palms facing the machine parts.
hum.
Three miniature golden magic circles slowly rotated, and magical power containing the energy of time overflowed from them.
Then, a strange thing happened.
All the parts, including the shattered lens, floated into the air, gathered and reassembled along a certain trajectory, and in the blink of an eye, they were restored to their original perfect state!
This sudden move left his companions speechless, and even Chase cast a rather surprised glance at him.
"Impressive, you've become so skilled without making a sound—" he remarked.
That's right, what Lucy was using at this moment was the second spell besides Celestial Magic that he had previously suggested she learn: Arc of Time.
The ultimate goal is to achieve the Celestial King's "costless summoning".
"Oh dear, Chase and Wendy went to the library and I didn't see them."
Mira clearly knew something, and covered her mouth with a light laugh, "Lucy spent a long time asking Ultear for advice yesterday."
"Lucy seems really suited to this magic," Erza commented earnestly, resting her chin on her hand.
"All the photos inside are back, cool~!!" Jason cheered after checking the camera.
"Hehe~" Lucy raised her head and puffed out her chest, wiping her nose triumphantly.
Now you should notice who the most promising new guild star is, right?
"No wonder the Fairy Tail members are always fighting; it turns out the guild has a magic circle like this. As expected of Mr. Makarov!"
The blonde girl, proudly awaiting her turn on camera: "————"
No, what does this have to do with the chairman? Are you blind?!
"Haha, Lucy is amazing! Now I can cause all sorts of trouble at your house without any worries!" Natsu ran over and hooked his arm around Lucy's shoulder, beaming.
"When the hell did you ever consider that?!" Lucy suddenly kicked him away.
"Love~ Lucy, the walls and pillars in your house seem to be calling to us~" Happy said with a sinister look, revealing his sharp claws.
"Get lost, you dead cat!" Lucy turned around and retaliated with a powerful rising dragon punch.
Both the man and the cat coughed up blood and flew backward in an extremely disheveled manner. One of them hit Gray on the forehead, who was chatting with Elfman, while the other landed with a "smack" on the strawberry cake in front of Erza.
"You damn fire dragon, you want to fight again?"
"How dare you ambush Lord Gray!"
"A real man fights back! Beast Soul, receive!"
"My cake!!"
Like two depth charges thrown into a calm lake, the previously harmonious scene was instantly ignited, and the Fairy Tail melee, which took place twice a day, began!
Looking at the scene of tables, chairs, plates, and dishes scattered everywhere, Lucy finally lowered her head in despair.
The chance to shine in the newspapers was completely gone.
Little did she know, behind her, Jason, with a pair of wooden clogs that had flown out of nowhere stuck on his forehead, was squatting on the ground, staring at her desolate figure in deep thought.
In less than a year, he rose from a rookie to an S-rank Celestial Spirit Mage.
Then, let's give you the title of "Complaint Star"~
