"President, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said."

Gray, who had unknowingly taken off his shirt, stood up from his seat.

"Leave it to me to bring Natsu and the others back."

"Look, just like I said, someone is here to help."

Seeing Gray standing up, Laxus teased his grandfather Makarov.

"Why not just let Gray go? He's just as good as Natsu anyway."

Ignoring Laxus' words, Makarov turned his head and looked at Gray with heavy eyes. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Bring back those idiots who violated the guild's rules and carried out S-rank missions without permission!"

"Just leave it to me."

"Wait a minute, Gray."

Just as Gray was about to turn around and leave, Mira called out to him.

Gray, who was about to take action immediately, turned back and looked at Mira with some confusion.

"What's the matter with you suddenly calling me?"

Mira held her face in her hands, looking worried.

"Takagi Akira hasn't come to the guild either. I'm a little worried that he might go along to do the S-rank mission."

Having said that, Mira showed a very 'bright' smile on her face.

"If, I mean if, Takagi Akira is also involved with Natsu, please tell him a message for me. 'When he comes back, I have something to talk to him alone.'"

Looking at the smiling Mira, Gray somehow recalled how Mira, as an S-class wizard, was called a demon two years ago.

Thinking back to Mira, Gray prayed for Takagi Akira in his heart, praying that he did not go on the S-level mission with Natsu without permission as Mira had expected, otherwise even if he could come back alive, his end would be very miserable.

Gray thought about it in his heart, but he remained calm and agreed.

"No problem. If Gao Muming is really here, I will definitely help you pass on the message."

After saying that, Gray strode out of the guild gate and headed towards the port city of Hargeon as fast as he could.

At noon, Gao Muming, who had been catching up on sleep all night, woke up from hunger. After simply packing himself up, Gao Muming went straight to the guild.

Takagi Akira yawned as he walked to the bar and sat down in front of everyone in the guild's surprised gazes.

"Mira, give me a love meal."

Faced with Gao Muming's order, Mira subconsciously agreed.

"No problem, please wait."

When Mira started to walk towards the kitchen, she realized belatedly that she had heard Gao Muming's familiar voice. Mira turned around in disbelief and saw Gao Muming sitting in front of the bar, yawning sleepily.

"Shouldn't he be going on the mission with Natsu and the others? Could it be that I guessed wrong and misunderstood him?"

A moment later, Takagi Akira was wolfing down the food on the plate in front of him, while Mira, who was standing beside him, was telling Takagi Akira about the stupid thing Natsu had done with a laugh.

As he listened to Mira's introduction, Akira Takagi's eyes never left the food in front of him, and his reaction to Natsu's unauthorized S-rank mission was very nonchalant.

"Oh, Natsu took the S-rank mission without permission. It's something he could do."

Mira and Makarov beside him both frowned, feeling a little strange about Takagi Akira's indifferent reaction.

Makarov even asked his question directly.

"From your tone, it seems that you have anticipated that Natsu would carry out the S-rank mission without permission?"

Takagi Akira nodded.

"That is indeed the case. After all, everyone in the guild has been 'spoiled' by the president. Because of your attitude towards the Council, the people in our guild don't care much about some rules and regulations."

"Plus, since the S-rank missions were shelved, ordinary wizards couldn't even see the contents of the commissions, which made it easier for some people to be curious."

"The result is that guys who are confident in themselves will take risks driven by curiosity and the desire to win."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Makarov looked at Gao Muming with some surprise.

"Your analysis is very logical. Could it be that you are also curious about the S-level mission?"

"It would be a lie to say I'm not curious, but President, have you forgotten that I once carried out S-rank missions with Mira, and I truly understand why those missions were rated as S-rank missions."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. You are different from Natsu and the others. You have seen the dangers of S-rank missions."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Makarov lowered his head and felt a little heavy.

"Could it be that my idea of ​​protecting the weaker children as much as possible is wrong?"

"That's not the case. There's nothing wrong with you wanting to protect your guild members."

Gao Muming shook his head and continued speaking.

"In fact, this rule does protect the safety of many guild members. However, because the protection is too good, some people do not have a clear understanding of S-level tasks and have lost the proper sense of awe."

"However, regarding the S-level mission on the second floor, rather than making it impossible for anyone to even see it, it would be better to remove the threshold for going to the second floor, so that everyone can know the information about the S-level mission, and set the threshold as the condition for accepting the S-level mission."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Makarov's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and he remained silent.

Seeing Makarov's performance, Takagi knew that the other party was somewhat persuaded by him, so he continued to speak.

"I understand that you're worried that if you open access to the second floor, someone will end up like Natsu."

"In fact, I think your worries are unnecessary. Even if you forbid someone like Natsu to go to the second floor, he will still accept the S-rank mission and carry it out."

"Why not set it so that if you want to carry out an S-level mission, you must be accompanied by an S-level wizard in the guild."

"The benefit of doing this is that it gives non-S-class wizards hope to carry out S-class missions. In the future, if there are guys like Natsu, they will only think about how to find an S-class wizard to accompany them instead of running away privately."

"On the other hand, with the S-class wizard accompanying us, we can fully realize the horror of S-class missions while ensuring the safety of the members as much as possible. Let everyone have a full understanding of S-class commissions and be in awe of them, further reducing the possibility of carrying out missions without authorization."

After Gao Muming swept the last bit of food on the plate into his mouth, he picked up the water glass that Mira placed in front of him and drank it all, looking at Makarov with burning eyes.

"Finally, another benefit of doing this is that it allows everyone to learn how to deal with crises and problems when performing missions with S-class wizards, so that they will not be clueless when performing difficult missions in the future."
