Chapter 32

A group of imposing people walked through the streets of Oak Town, giving off an aura that made everyone look sideways. Guessing from the direction they were heading, this group of people would not be going to trouble the Phantom Lord, a famous magician's guild in the Fiore Kingdom, right?

Not long after, Phantom Lord's Guild was already right in front of their eyes. From the outside, it looked a bit shabby, but as long as one looked carefully, it was not difficult to know that these damaged places were recently made.

"President, Calvin seems to have made a scene." In the crowd, a red-haired beauty dressed in armor said softly to the short old man in front of him, and with her words, a burst of cheers sounded in the crowd.

"Since that's the case, let's fight our battle, Natsu." The short old man didn't care and ordered coldly in an angry voice.

"Understood." A young man with cherry-colored hair replied. Then, he immediately rushed towards Phantom Lord's door. A flame ignited in his hand and wrapped around his fist. He forcefully swung his fist and smashed the door.

---

Magnolia, A few hours before Fairy Tail and the others arrived at Phantom Lord.

Calvin stood in front of his broken Guild and carefully checked the inside. He immediately found that there was no one inside.

"No one. Sure enough, everyone has set off to Oa--" After thinking for a while, Calvin immediately changed his destination and quickly ran to Magnolia's hospital.

Almost everyone in the town knew that Fairy Tail was attacked. Calvin was also a famous person. As soon as he entered the hospital, a nurse immediately told him the ward of the injured.

When he opened the ward, there were three people lying inside. They were from the Shadow Gear Group. The central figure of this group was Levy. At the same time, she was also a cute and beautiful girl. The two members of the same group liked her very much and cared for her in every way possible. Calvin and Levy were also very familiar with each other. Because they often read, Levy often recommends good books to Calvin, and Calvin will also tutor out Levy's magic from time to time.

"Calvin! Are you back? The president and others have already gone to Phantom Lord." There was also Lucy in the room. It seemed that she was the one who stayed behind to take care of Levy. Perhaps because she had only joined Fairy Tail for a short period of time, everyone still wanted her to participate in the battle.

"I know. I just came back from Phantom Lord. How are Levy and the others? Are their injuries very serious?" Calvin answered simply and immediately asked about the injuries.

"There is no danger to their lives, but the doctor said that they have to rest down for a while." Lucy immediately replied with a worried look on his face.

Calvin nodded and checked the injuries of Levy and the other two. He found that although the injuries on the three of them were not fatal, they were definitely not child's play. They had probably been tortured for a long time.

"If I had known earlier, I would have beaten him to a point where he could not take care of himself..." Looking at Levy who was still frowning in a coma, Calvin felt his anger that had been slightly better started to burn again. However, he knew that he could not be impulsive. Phantom Lord's goal for Magnolia is still unclear.

"Phantom Lord and the others have gone too far. I will never forgive them!" Perhaps the existence of Calvin gave Lucy a sense of security. Lucy, who had been holding back her tears, could not help but sob softly when she saw her friend, Levy, in such a miserable state.

"It's really strange. Although Phantom Lord has a bad relationship with us, they would not provoke us for no reason. Why did they suddenly start a war?" In Calvin's impression, although Lucy was usually dull, she did have a certain ability to analyze. It was also for this reason that her team with Natsu was so compatible. She could be considered the brain to Natsu's brawn, which happened to complement each other. Therefore, Calvin told his doubts in front of Lucy to see if Lucy had any thoughts.

"Don't tell me they have a purpose? Is there anything that we, Fairy Tail, are worth coveting?" Hearing Calvin's words,

Lucy tilted his head and voiced his suspicions.

"If there was, they wouldn't have waited until now to make a move. Did we, Fairy Tail, obtain anything good recently?" Hearing Lucy's guess, Calvin nodded and replied casually.

"The recent change is only because Lucy joined Fairy Tail... Wait! Don't tell me their goal is Lucy?" Thinking that Lucy might be the target, Calvin couldn't help but look at Lucy with a serious expression.

"Uh... What's wrong? Why is your expression so serious?" Lucy was frightened by Calvin's sudden action and asked in fear.

"Although Lucy said that there are few Celestial Spirit Mage, it is impossible for him to be targeted by Phantom Lord..." Calvin looked at Lucy meaningfully and guessed that the other party might have a background that would be targeted by Phantom Lord...

"It's nothing. I was just a little sensitive after the battle with Jose." After some consideration, Calvin still decided not to let Lucy know that he was being targeted for the time being. This girl looked weak, but she was actually very strong in her heart. Maybe she would decide to solve the problem by herself for a while.

Then, Calvin took out a card and handed it to Lucy.

"Phantom Lord's goal is obviously to lure us to its nest. All the people who stay in Magnolia are very likely to become targets. Take this card and it will save your life if you encounter a crisis." Receiving the card from Calvin, Lucy was very happy. The card lly S-Class Sorcerer's item. Ever since she guessed that Phantom Lord might have other motives, she had always been a little worried that her outstanding and beautiful self would be attacked like Levy. Now that she had a protective talisman, how could she not be at ease?

"You go back yourself. Be careful. Let me take care of Levy and the others." Calvin waved his hand and was about to chase Lucy away. He could tell that she had been worried for the three of them for a long time. Her face was obviously tired.

"Then I will go back to sleep first. By the way, Calvin, are you not going to meet up with the president and the others?" Lucy stood up and stretched. After yawning, he asked without a trace of a lady.

"Don't worry, Jose's strength is at most equal to the president, and their Iron Dragon is only equal to Natsu. We won't lose." Calvin smiled and assured Lucy confidently.

"I'm relieved that you said that. Then I'll go back first." Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Calvin with a smile.

After Lucy left the hospital, Calvin, who was originally sitting in the sick room, mysteriously disappeared into thin air. At the same time, a weak magic wave came from the card that Lucy had just received.

"Sorry, Lucy, I might have to trouble you. Phantom Lord's members are very likely to attack you. But don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."
