Chapter 2 The Trial Storm

"Wait." Seeing that the Toad Man was about to start arresting Elusha, Noel finally spoke.

When the toad officials of the Council saw Noel, they showed a look of surprise on their faces, and then saluted respectfully. Although Noel, one of the top ten saints of the Holy Ten, does not have real power, at least in terms of status, they are equivalent to members of the Council. They are not a toad who can treat him rudely. "Dear Lord Noel, the top ten saints of the Holy Ten, are you doing anything?"

"Can you show me the arrest warrant?"

"Well. This, okay." The Toad Man nodded and handed the arrest warrant to Noor.

After a little glance at the content of the arrest warrant, Noel frowned. The arrest warrant was written very concisely. The reason for the arrest was nothing more than the damage caused by the Osibala Station and the Curoba Grand Canyon Railway during the Iron Forest incident. Although it seems serious, it is not a big deal if you consider the [great achievements] of Fairy Tail in the past. (So that's it, is the Council for the purpose of making a formality for the public?) Noel thought while handing the arrest warrant back.

"His Excellency Noel, since there is no problem, can we execute the order?" asked the Toad Man.

Noel thought for a moment and said, "So, can I go with me as a defense lawyer?"

"Nor..." Ersha was about to say something when she heard Noel's words, but was stopped by Noel with her eyes.

"In this way, there is no problem in principle." The Toad Man replied.

The soldier behind the Toad Man was about to handcuff Elusa, but Nol reached out to stop her. "I am willing to guarantee that Elusa will not escape and resist fearing sin, so can she not be handcuffed?"

"Well, okay, since Your Excellency Noel has said that." The Toad Man hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"Thank you." Noel nodded with a smile.

———————————————————

Magical Review Council, Feori Branch.

In the usual passage, only the sound of footsteps echoed, the toad officials in the Council led the way, while Elusha and Nol walked side by side in the back.

"Nor, you don't have to follow me, and I won't have any trouble."

"Well, I know this, but I just care a little bit."

"Really, Noel, you..." Elusa suddenly stopped talking. Her eyes looked straight at the man with a blue hair in front of her, a strange pattern on her face, wearing a white windbreaker, leaning leisurely against the stone pillar.

"Jigurein." Elusa whispered the name of the man opposite.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Elusa, don't act like fighting. This is my missing body. Now my entity is in Era, and the old men on the other side of the door are all missing body. For such a small case, there is no need to come here specially." Jigurein waved his hand and said to Elusa.

"Is that so? It turns out that it's all your fault, a boring trick."

"This really makes me sad. I defend the fairy tail, but the old men are afraid that the issue of responsibility will involve themselves, so they have to find a person who can shirk all the responsibility, which is the so-called scapegoat." Jigurein's face showed a sarcastic look.

"Shut up!" Elusa said angrily.

"Okay, I'm here to see you before the trial for nothing. Don't tell the old man about that. This is for each other's good." Jigurein looked at Elusha with a cold expression. Nol, who noticed something was wrong, stepped forward and protected Elusha behind him. His blue pupils looked at each other without showing any weakness.

"Then, I'll wait for you on the other side of the door, as one of the members of the Council." Jigurein smiled indifferently and turned away (Don't get in the way, Elusa, I finally got to this point. No matter who it is, it's okay to get in the way, absolutely.)

"Elusha, do you know him?" Noel looked at Elusha in confusion.0

“…He is a demon.”

Noor looked at Jigurein's back thoughtfully and frowned. "This person gives me a bad feeling. A very special dark aura flashed through his body just now."

"What aura?"

"I don't know much. Perhaps because of the longing body, the feeling just now just flashed away. If it weren't for my [Holy Light Magic]'s most sensitive attitude towards this kind of aura, I wouldn't have noticed it."

"Is that true?" Elusa, who heard Noel's words, looked down and seemed to be thinking about something.

Walking into the courtroom, Noel and Elusa stood in the audience, and on the platform, several members of the judging party all had serious expressions. When they saw Noel, they were only slightly surprised and returned to normal.

After seeing everyone coming, a frogman who looked like a judge on the platform picked up the document in his hand and said, "Now, the Magic Council is in court, the defendant, Elusa Shukareto. Regarding the recent Lalabai incident in the Iron Forest, you partially destroyed the Osibala Station and the Curoba Grand Canyon. The suspects of these vandalism are on you. According to eyewitness testimony, the prisoner is a female magician wearing armor..."

Boom, as the frogman was reading the documents in his hand, a roar suddenly came, and the door behind Elusa and Nol were suddenly exploded.

"What's going on?" Everyone turned their eyes to the door, the smoke dissipated, and a boy wearing a simple armor made of wooden barrels and a red wig appeared in everyone's eyes.

"I am a female witch in armor. If you can catch me, just let the horse come over and try it." Natsu, disguised as Elusha, shouted with flames.

"..." The scene fell into a strange silence. Everyone present was dressed by Natsu's costume. He was originally going to watch the members of the Council. Noel, who was preparing to watch the performance, covered his face with his hands weakly, and wanted to find a gap to get in. It was so embarrassing that he actually threw it in front of the Council. He felt the strange sight of the Council floating over from the Council (you fairy-tailed magicians look like this.) In an instant, Noel even had the heart to strangle Natsu.

"If you have any crime, just tell me it. That is a crime that is more serious than the life of the guild leader, right?" Natsu, who was unconscious of his dress, pointed his finger at the members of the Council.

In his heart, he tried hard to suppress the urge to beat someone up on the spot, Noel finally said, "Stop, Natsu."

The presiding judge also shook his head, "Take these people to prison."

"I'm really sorry, I'll discipline him."
