Chapter 16 : Forum Administrator

Ziklain added Voldemort as a friend.

The ring must have been delivered to the Council quickly. Teleportation magic, perhaps?

Knight pondered. His small account had only appeared once, yet it somehow attracted Ziklain's attention. Deciding to ignore the friend request for now, he closed the notification.

He was in the guild hall, also called the guild tavern. It was full of people, and there were too many eyes around. Knight didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to himself.

As he sat flipping through books in the [Library], Mirajane came bustling back to the bar, having served drinks all morning. She sighed softly, one hand resting on her chest and the other on her cheek.

"Knight, the forum is so chaotic right now. Do you have any solutions?"

Knight looked up from the interesting magic books the Ghost wizards had uploaded. "What you need is a forum administrator," he said.

"A forum administrator?" Mirajane asked, confused.

"It's exactly as it sounds," Knight explained. "An admin can lock or delete bad posts and promote good ones. They can even ban people from speaking."

Knight opened the backend system with a smile. "I've made you an admin. There's no way Fairy Tail should be bullied by Phantom. Go, let them experience the iron fist of justice!"

He continued, "On the Internet, it's not about numbers, it's about authority. I have the ultimate power as the developer, but as an admin, you can mute people and clean up the chaos."

Mirajane's eyes widened as she logged into her account and saw the notification:

["Sigma Man" has appointed you as a 'Forum Administrator': Maintaining the forum is everyone's responsibility. Purifying the environment starts with me.]

"Nate, what do I do now?" she asked nervously.

"You can do whatever you want," Knight replied casually. "Maybe start by locking a few posts and issuing an announcement."

"Okay, I'll try!" Mirajane felt a new sense of responsibility. With a few clicks, she locked several argumentative posts that had spiraled out of control. Then, with a determined flourish, she posted an announcement and pinned it to the top of the forum:

[Maintaining the forum is everyone's responsibility; purifying the environment starts with me!]

Hello, Phantom Wizards.

I am Mirajane from Fairy Tail, and I'm also the forum administrator. Meaningless quarrels won't achieve anything. Let's all remain calm. This forum is for sharing information, magic, making friends, and chatting—not for flooding it with arguments.

Meanwhile, at Ougu City, inside a Phantom branch tavern:

"Everyone, come quick! Keep bombarding my post!" a robed wizard, Boz, shouted enthusiastically. "We're winning this! The fairies won't know what hit them!"

Boz was confident, believing they were about to seize victory in this so-called 'holy war.' At first, the fairies were civil, even curious about Phantom's sudden influx. But Boz had seen his chance and ignited the spark that turned into a forum-wide battle.

However, one of the female wizards suddenly interrupted, "Boz, the post—it's locked."

"What?" Boz hurried to check and saw the message: [This post has been locked by the administrator.]

"Who's this administrator?" Boz muttered, stunned.

"Boz, all the posts are being locked!" another wizard shouted.

"Check the pinned post—it's from Fairy Tail!" someone added.

Boz clicked on the announcement and, after reading it, his face darkened. Fairy Tail has an admin now? he thought bitterly. They couldn't win the war, so they're using their authority. Authority dogs!

Boz, furious, typed out a new post—but it was locked within seconds. The others looked at him anxiously. "What do we do now, Boz?"

"We can't just let them get away with this!"

But as they spoke, some Phantom wizards began reminiscing about Mirajane's modeling days, while others confessed to being her fans. "She's amazing!"

"Shut up! We're in a holy war!" Boz snapped.

Back at Fairy Tail, Mirajane watched the forum settle down. She smiled as congratulatory messages flowed in from fellow guild members. But her smile faded when she spotted an angry message accusing her of being biased.

With her cheeks puffed in frustration, she quickly tracked down the user responsible: Boz, the same guy who had started the war. Without hesitation, Mirajane pressed the mute button.

A notification flashed across Boz's screen: [You have been banned for 30 days by the administrator "Traveler Departure."]

"What?!" Boz stared at the screen in disbelief. Banned? For 30 days?

Desperate, he frantically typed messages to Mirajane, begging for forgiveness:

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have insulted you!"

"I was wrong, Lady Mirajane!"

"I swear, I'll help keep the forum clean from now on. Please, unban me!"
