As the chit chat went on, the Guild doors opened to show all the members who went to Tenrou except for Laxus and of course the mystery member is missing. They all walked in silently and all the members gave them space to lead to the stage. Makarov went up on the stage. He cleared his throat to speak.
"My dear children, I'm delighted to introduce to you not 1 but 2 new S-class mages of Fairy Tail," said Makarov and everyone cheered.
"First, I appreciate the efforts of other members who participated in the Trails. Don't be disappointed that you didn't make it. Work hard, you have the potential to be S-class" said Makarov and everyone applauded.
"I call Erza Scarlet and… Naruto Uzumaki to come to the stage" said Makarov and everyone understood who the 2 new S-class mages are.
"My dear children, Erza Scarlet and Naruto Uzumaki passed the S-class trials with flying colours. After they reached our Guild's Sacred island, they fought against their opponents valiantly and got their approval" said Makarov in pride.
"Who did they fight against, Gramps," asked Natsu enthusiastically.
"Erza fought against me while Naruto fought against... Gildarts," said Makarov, dropping the bomb. The Guild members were shocked.
"WHAT?" they all yelled in unison, making the Guild roof to pop out comically. They couldn't believe it. A new guy fighting Gildarts and not only survived, but got his approval to become an S-Class mage. They all looked at Naruto once again. The blonde felt uncomfortable by all their attention and replied in a sheepish tone to break the ice.
"I guess I'm strong, huh," he said and rubbed the back of his head, sheepishly. There was a bright flash of light which made everyone except the people on the stage look at the light instead of closing their eyes. They all looked into a pair of blood Red eyes which has a ring and 3 commas in them spinning.
"Sharingan: Genjutsu'' said Naruto and put them in a Genjutsu. A Genjutsu which doesn't affect anything but the fact of his battle. Instead of the flashy way Makarov explained his win against Gildarts, they will remember it as a fluke. A one-time fluke that managed to land a hit on the Ace Of Fairy Tail. A hit that managed Gildarts to make his decision.
Also, the Genjutsu makes this memory a docile one only remembered when they are concentrating on finding it. No one is spared from it. It was the people who actually saw who knew what happened. Everyone other member of the Guild believes it to be a one time win.
Erza elbowed Makarov who cleared his throat again to gain the attention of his children as the light which shone brilliantly was gone and so he spoke.
"Well, my children, you know the song. It's time to CELEBRATE" he shouted. That managed to snap everyone out of their trance.
"I forgot to mention. Not only Naruto an S-class mage, but he is also the youngest S-class mage in history" said Makarov and earned cheers again.
"You did it, man," said Gray.
"Naruto, fight me" yelled Natsu.
"Congratulations, Naruto," said a shy Elfman.
"Show 'em what you are made of" yelled other members.
"In honour of our 2 new S-class mages, we are going to celebrate," said Makarov and everyone gave their response in one word.
"YEAH," they yelled and started to drink senselessly.
"First, let's listen to what our new S-class have to say," said Makarov and turned all the attention to Erza and Naruto. Before Naruto could speak, Erza cleared her throat and stepped forward.
"On my honour as a warrior, I promise to protect Fairy Tail and everyone in our Guild with my life," said Erza which earned loud cheers across the Guildhall. Naruto sealed the Guild from the town. He knew well how parties can be noisy and long. He also stepped forward and cleared his throat to give his speech.
"When it comes to honour, I promise to uphold the name of Fairy Tail in the history of Fiore," said Naruto. Nobody understood what he was saying, but clapped nonetheless. He just stepped forward and made the hand sign. The hand sign in which all of the fingers except the index finger and thumbs are open, the thumb pointing upwards.
All clapped in and made the same gesture. That was a sign made and explained by Makarov Dreyar, the Third Guild Master.
Its meaning is simple:
"Even if I can't see you... no matter how far away you may be... I will always be watching you." - Makarov Dreyar. He read about the significance and usage of that symbol in a copy of 'Guide to Fairy Tail ', written by Makarov Dreyar. After that, they cheered even louder.
As the cheers died down, they closed in on Erza and Naruto to congratulate them. After that as per the customs of Fairy Tail, a big party is thrown and soon, a Guild brawl started.
Erza didn't stop them, nor did Naruto or any of the sane members. They all sat at a table on the second floor and enjoyed the brawl. Makarov in satisfaction, others in contentment. Sirius was sleeping happily in Naruto's lap.
