Celebration

The other members were stunned hearing John's words, then they started to boo at John, John got irritated by this and shouted. "What do you guys know?!"

After shouting he punched the one guy that booed the most and the guy next to him in the next second, he then ducked to dodge a punch on his head that landed on another person.

Then that person punched the person that punched him until everyone started punching each other spiraling into an all-out royal rumble.

Gildarts who saw this laughed saying. "It feels good to be back, the familiar taste of fairy tail brawl."

After saying that, because he was not paying any attention whatsoever a beer stein slapped onto his face pouring beer all over.

Makarov who saw this busted out laughing. "Hahahahaha, How's the familiar taste of Fairy Tail, Huh Gildarts?"

Gildarts popped a vein on his head feeling the wet sensation of beer on his face, he stood up and joined in on the brawl starting with the person that threw the beer stein.

A few seconds later a similar beer stein smashed into Makarov's face causing him to not be able to laugh anymore.

And this scene just happened to be seen by Gildarts, seeing that the old man suffered the same fate as him, he busted out laughing as he shouted.

"You will have your day soon Old Man! How's the taste?!"

At this time, Makarov also felt angry so he joined in the brawl and punched the mage that threw the beer stein with his giant fist.

As the brawl grew more and more chaotic, the door to the guild opened and just a person walked in a beer stein smashed into the person's face.

A cold wave erupted from the person as the beer slid down revealing Ur standing there with a twitching eyebrow, she did an Ice-Make stance as strong waves of magic power erupted from her.

Feeling Ur's magic power, Gildarts grew interested since he didn't know that there's a new member that is close to him in terms of magic power.

Gildarts also released his magic power that seems to want to destroy everything in his surrounding, as the floor closest towards him already started to become cubes.

John also laughed feeling this pressure as he released his own magic power to resist the two, as waves of gloomy and violent magic power erupted from him.

Gildarts looked in John's direction in surprise, it was just two years since he left and John is already this strong?

And while he was shocked, a wave of familiar magic power bursted out not far from his side, he turned to look to see Cana was also releasing magic power to resist theirs, her magic power is similar to his full of destruction.

As the ones between their magic power felt suffocated, a warm magic power erupted from Makarov that protected all the other members, he's magic power has a gentle and warm feeling to it.

"Are you brats, children?! You are already so old and yet you guys are still so rowdy!" Makarov shouted without shame as if he wasn't a part of those in the brawl.

Every member of the guild had a black line on their foreheads at Makarov's shamelessness, they really wanted to shout: The old ginger is really shameless and spicy.

Ur, Gildarts, and John just shrugged their shoulders and withdrew their magic power, while Cana breathed a sigh of relief.

Gildarts then walked towards John with Cana accompanying him, he slapped John's shoulder causing John to stumble forward, he then spoke in a nonchalant way as if he didn't cause John to stumble.

"I didn't expect you brat to be this strong already when I was just gone for two years, you have a bright future in your hand brat."

John rubbed his sore shoulder as he rolled his eyes at Gildarts words, as he shouted at Gildarts with anger in his voice. "Damn Gildarts, can't you hit a little softer?! My whole shoulder is aching."

Cana quickly came to John's side as she helped him rubbed his shoulder while asking, " Are you okay John? You shouldn't have hit him so hard Dad."

She didn't forget to scold Gildarts while rubbing John's shoulder, Gildarts couldn't help but scream in his mind: Cana you are not even married with this boy, much less engaged, why do your elbows is turning outward so early?

Gildarts felt sad as his little padded jacket is already leaking air, although sad, he still said to John. "Wait for my gift in the evening, I'm sure you will like it."

He then turned to leave as he was in no mood to party with the brawl that just happened, Cana followed him while leaving John a sentence.

"Wait for me at the party at night, I'll give you a gift that you will also like."

John smiled as he also left the guild hall, summoning Dragapult he rode on it with Fafnir following him, Fafnir stayed outside of the guild the whole time since it doesn't like crowded places.

As he landed on the inside his land, he went inside the restaurant to see how's the preparation is going on, after seeing that everything was alright, he apologize to those who were doing the decorations job as he moved the party from his house to the restaurant.

The boss of the decoration company said it was no problem, but John still decided to pay him 20% more than the given deal they negotiated about.

The sun set and the moon peeked out from the horizon, as members of fairy tail guild arrived one by one, the restaurant gradually grew to be more crowdy.

All the members who came today were all dressed up in cool clothing for men and beautiful dresses for women, they all chatted as they left their gifts at the first floor and went to the second floor where the party is being held.

As the host of the party, John stood at the middle of the second floor and toasting anyone that came to wished him a happy birthday, though he held a juice glass instead of wine glass.

"Happy Birthday John, I wish you will live a good life in the future."

"Happy Birthday John, I wish you a wealth future."

It was awkward toasting others when they have wine and he has juice, and he's not used to this type of birthday celebration, and if you looked around the others also felt uncomfortable with this, so he just told them straight up.

"Don't make the atmosphere so weird guys, just treat it as if we are partying back at the guild, no need to be so tense and nervous."

After hearing his words, the other members eased up as they chatted with their friends and some even laughing from time to time, John also relaxed seeing this, they waited for some more time as more and more members arrived.

A few minutes later, Ur walked in with Gray, Lyon and Ultear, they walked up to him as John bumped fist with the two disciples as Gray said. "Happy Birthday John, I wish you prosperity!"

"Happy Birthday John, do you want to fight today?" Lyon asked with an eager smile, which he ended up taking a fist of love from Ur as she said.

"Don't be rude to other people, especially when it's their special day. Anyways, Happy Birthday John."

"Thank you guys, you should go take a seat, we're just waiting for the old man, Gildarts, and Cana to arrive before starting the party." John said as he waved for a waiter to lead them onto their seats.

Another few minutes later, Makarov arrived as he used his giant magic to grow taller to rub John's head as he said with a smile.

"Happy Birthday kiddo, You've grown a lot since the day you first joined, you were so scrawny and weak back then, but, look at you now strong, wealthy, and healthy too!"

"It's all thanks to my hard work and the guidance of you and all the other members in the guild, you can sit down first old man, only Gildarts and Cana are left to start the party." John said as he himself took the lead to assist Makarov to his seat.

Another few minutes later a burst of roars from a unknown creature sounded from the first floor, everybodies expression changed as they immediately went towards the stairs to see what's the commotion all about.

They saw that the sound was coming from a covered cage with Gildarts right next to it, Gildarts stretched in his hand and punched the creature within causing it to stop making anymore roars.

"Sorry everyone, the gift that I've brought is too loud." Gildarts apologized as he lead Cana upstairs to join the party.

"Since everyone is already here, then you know what that means?" John asked every person in the room with a meaningful smile.

The others also saw that meaningful smile, and also smiled in the same way as they all shouted in proper since.

"IT'S PARTY TIME!!!"

Along with the shouts, John had the waiters and waitressess serve the dishes to be eating in the party tonight.
