Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 358 A Future Without Chase

Chapter 358 A Future Without Chase

In the remote mountainous area outside Magnolia, on a secluded hillside.

Han's guild was built on a relatively flat open space, surrounded by a fence to protect it from monsters in the mountains and forests.

Perhaps to "supplement household income," chickens and ducks are also kept inside the enclosure, and there is a small iron gate with the word "FAIRYTAIL" hanging at the entrance.

At this time, the guild was sparsely populated.

In the future, Makarov was sitting at the bar, bored and dozing off watching the quiet guild.

In order to win the generous prize money to support the guild's operations, and more importantly, to stand up for his companions who had been ridiculed and mocked countless times over the past seven years, he decided to sign up for the annual Fiore Grand Festival, the Grand Magic Games that would determine the strongest guild in Fiore, after returning from Tenrou Island.

Natsu and his friends then embarked on a three-month training camp with the goal of becoming stronger and filling the seven-year gap.

"Judging by the time, the training camp should be almost over. I wonder how those brats are doing in their training—"

Just as Makarov was thinking this, things suddenly became lively outside the half-open door.

"It's terrible, Master! Something awful! Natsu, Natsu and the others are back!"

Gina burst through the door and saw the president sitting at the bar. Her panic intensified.

"Calm down, Ginana. It's just Natsu and the others coming back. Is there any need to panic?"

In the future, Makarov calmly picked up his cup of black tea, then, after considering a rather unpleasant possibility, became somewhat apprehensive. "Could it be that these brats have gotten into some trouble again?!"

"No, no, it's them, it's them—"

Gina was clearly bewildered. After confirming that she wasn't hallucinating, she exclaimed in horror, "We came here under your guidance, President!"

"I see. It's good that no trouble was caused."

Hearing that his worst fears hadn't come true, Makarov breathed a heavy sigh of relief and took a sip of his black tea.

Then, with a "pfft," the tea that hadn't even gone down his throat sprayed out.

"What did you say? Who brought you here? Me?!"

Before he could ask Ginana for details, a series of familiar figures walked in from outside.

"This place is really hard to find."

"At least their location is relatively fixed, unlike Edolas, which is a guild that moves around."

"Hey Chess, is it really okay for us to just walk in like this? Didn't the president say we should be careful?"

"Haha, it's all Fairy Tail, it doesn't matter."

"So casual!"

"Look, Happy! There are two old men, and they taste exactly the same!!"

Natsu exclaimed in surprise, his bright eyes darting between the two Makarovs.

"Ha, an idiot who still doesn't understand the situation," Gray scoffed.

"What did you say?!" Natsu immediately rubbed his forehead in annoyance.

Perhaps it was because this place felt like home, but the two of them, without even exchanging greetings, started fighting right away.

Then, two giant fists descended from the sky, forcing them to calm down through physical means.

Makarov here feels it's not time to relax and have fun yet, while the future Makarov there is more inclined to instinctive reactions.

"Natsu? Gray? And me?"

As if looking in a mirror, Future Makarov stared at his reflection in utter confusion. "What on earth is going on?!"

"My guess was right after all; there has been no significant reversal in the personality of the isotopes here."

Makarov was equally surprised, scratching his head in slight distress. "So, where should we begin?" After a detailed explanation...

The two old men, like twin brothers, sat on the guild bar, watching Nazuna and the others bombarding the future Ginana with questions.

"Fairy Tail exists in another dimension; such wondrous things exist in this world—"

In the future, Makarov couldn't help but exclaim, "And what's more, you actually defeated Acnologia!"

The despair he felt when the black wings descended upon Tenrou Island three months ago was still vivid in his mind. He never imagined that Fairy Tail from another timeline could defeat that monster and successfully escape from the gods' encirclement!

Ankhseram, that's a legendary god, whose single curse created an immortal being like the Dark Mage Zeref!

"I never expected that you would be sealed away for seven whole years under the protection of the First Generation." Makarov's expression was slightly strange.

After exchanging information, he discovered a very important piece of information.

The two worlds are remarkably similar, even in the development trajectory of the guilds and the order in which past members joined.

The only difference, or rather the factor that led to the two completely different results, is that "I've been very concerned about it since the beginning."

Future Makarov tilted his head slightly, his puzzled gaze falling on Chess in the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "That young man who exudes a magical aura as powerful as Gildarts'."

"Who is it?"

He clearly has the Fairy Tail crest tattooed on his right arm and looks like a mature and steady child, but I have absolutely no recollection of him!

Actually, what also gave him a strong sense of unease was the girl in the red shrine maiden dress and the talking duck doll, but compared to Chess, Eclair and Mengmeng were not his top priorities.

"The crux of the problem is indeed here."

Makarov sighed and explained, "His name is Chess, a card magician who joined the guild in 782. The reason we were able to defeat the Black Dragon was basically due to his power."

"Card Mage, defeated the Black Dragon?!" Future Makarov's eyes widened, unable to connect the two words together.

After finally processing the information contained in that sentence, he suddenly felt that whether or not he knew Chess didn't seem so important anymore.

"If possible, could you let that kid join my guild?" The old man slyly tried to poach his own member.

With the Grand Magic Games just around the corner, if such a powerful mage were to lend a hand, Fiore would be the number one in no time.

"Pfft, hahaha, is that really what you think?" Makarov burst out laughing.

Future Makarov's expression froze instantly: "Could it be that that guy is even more—"

Of course, the person who knows you best is yourself.

"Well, it's alright, it just occasionally destroys a town and wipes out a forest," Makarov said calmly.

"Don't pretend in front of me. You've written plenty of self-criticisms, haven't you?"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Makarov's words hit the nail on the head, instantly breaking Makarov's defenses.

at the same time.

Hearing the conversation between the two guild leaders, Mira, who was standing behind the bar, and Erza, who was leaning against a pillar, lowered their heads with dejected expressions.

In the depths of her two pairs of dull, beautiful eyes, there flickered panic and a hint of fear.

Seven years from now, there will be no Chase—
