Magic is not evil.

We must protect it...

Wizards!

We must work together...

In the year X633, the world's first wizard guild was born.

Meet the three new Fairy Tail recruits who joined us today!

Wow!

Nice to meet you!

Hey, I see a cutie.

Sweet!

Dad!

Welcome to Fairy Tail!

So this is the Fairy Tail...

Too many... people...

Huh?!

Only three?!

You said we couldn't have too many, so we narrowed them down to three.

Did I say that?

They're plenty strong.

Yeah, we can vouch for them.

Looks like they did you in with the skill test.

Newcomers?!

Take it easy, Gajeel.

Now that you've joined the guild for the manliest of men...

Drink and sing! Drink and eat! And drink!

That's a lot of drinking, Cana.

Let's be friends.

This is a very friendly guild.

We're all friends!

Friendly?

Nah, I disagree!

This is the strongest guild!

The best in Fiore!

The other guilds are crap in comparison!

Fairy Tail is the greatest in the world!

Just give me a job, any job!

I'm gonna make this guild stronger, the strongest of all!

Honestly, I'll be more useful than these clowns.

You know, one day, I'm going to be the master of Fairy Ta—

Pipe down.

Oh, you're back, Laxus.

Yeah.

It's a big no-no to talk down to your friends.

Look who's talking.

And I can't let go of you belittling other guilds.

You have no right to call yourself a member of Fairy Tail.

Who the hell brought a loser like that?

It was you, Mira-chan?!

Why did you two come to Fairy Tail?

This place is scary!

Nothing about it is "friendly"!

Two of them left right off the bat because of you, Laxus.

That was my fault?!

I-I am...

I am Touka.

I came to join the guild where Natsu is.

Natsu?

What's your relationship with him?

Natsu... and I...

No, it's Natsu-sama.

Natsu-sama is my...

my sweet darling!

There's your duplicate, Juvia!

Gray-sama left without Juvia... without Juvia...

You know what, never mind.

Gray-sama left...

Our fated encounter happened about a year ago,

when the guild broke up.

I was attacked by bandits, and there he was, a prince on a white horse...

no, on a fire dragon!

But that'd be Natsu riding on Natsu.

I guess Natsu is more popular than I thought.

Oh my.

So, where is my Natsu-sama?

My sweet darling!

He's on a job.

He won't be back for a while.

He's on the job no one has been able to complete since wizard guilds started...

The 100 Years Quest!

The "First" Guild and the "Strongest" Guild

Check this out! Snow!

Aye, sir!

When the sky is so blue?

How strange.

They're glowing? This is...

It's not snow.

It's magic energy.

The particles of ether-nanos are so big that you can see them with the naked-eye.

I see.

Let's make a snowman!

I guess it'd be a "magicman"!

I guess this area is filled with magic.

It's so beautiful.

Yeah.

Put your clothes on!

When did that happen?!

I guess it means we're getting closer to the oldest wizard guild, Magia Dragon.

We're almost there.

We came to the continent of Guiltina to take on the 100 Years Quest.

It's an unknown territory, separate from Ishgar or Alakitasia.

Magia Dragon is said to be the first wizard guild in the world.

I wonder what kind of dragons we'll meet!

I doubt we'll meet any.

It's just a name.

We don't have fairies in Fairy Tail, do we?

Right here, in front of you!

A lot of wizard guilds have mythical beasts in their names.

Like Saber Tooth, Mermaid Heel, and Lamia Scale.

So does Cait Shelter.

D-Did you not hear me?

The 100 Years Quest is a legendary job no one has ever completed.

For 100 years, or technically longer than that,

no one has completed it yet, hence its name.

Even the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail, Gildarts...

So, what's the 100 Years Quest like?

I'm not allowed to tell you.

You've got to see it for yourself.

I hope you enjoy the sweet taste of despair.

Ouch! What was that for?!

Acting all cool.

You failed because you went alone.

But I'm different.

I'm going with my friends,

so there'll be no despair for me.

Ouch!

What was that for?!

Payback, you jerk!

You wanna do this, Gildarts?!

Bring it on!

You two!

Someone stop them!

Don't destroy the guild!

That's Magia Dragon.

We're here.

Look! There is a dragon!

It's a statue.

So... is there still anyone in this guild?

If there weren't, there wouldn't be a job.

Huh? The ether-nanos' even in the building?!

But no one's here.

No, I feel something...

Yes. Someone is here.

I welcome thee, 99th hero!

A dragon!

I didn't know that they were still alive.

And you are...

I'm Elefseria, Dragon of Law.

O wizards, grant my wish!

You the one who offered the 100 Years Quest?

Indeed.

Come on, Natsu.

We should address him more politely.

He's kinda scary.

I'd like to confirm something.

This is supposed to be a wizard guild.

So what does that make you?

A wizard guild without wizards? What's the deal?

Aren't there any other wizards?

I'm the only one here.

The humans grew old and died.

Grew old...

Didn't you recruit new members?

What a strange guild.

Such were the times.

New guilds were created one after another, and the young chose to join newer guilds.

Eventually, the oldest guild was devoid of humans.

But a dragon living in a wizard guild is another story.

You're a human, aren't you?

What?!

You have good eyes!

I am the father of all wizard guilds and the first master of Magia Dragon, Elefseria.

A human?!

And the father of all wizard guilds?!

You've been alive for over 100 years?!

You find that so surprising?

Let me give you one example that may help you understand.

I am the same as Acnologia.

The same as Acnologia?

I paid the price of Dragon Slayer Magic...

That's why I turned into a dragon.

So you were a Dragon Slayer?

Not that I learned it from anyone.

To defeat one dragon in particular, I taught myself Dragon Slayer Magic.

Can you stop moving around?

Don't you know how to sit still?

But please!

I haven't seen any young girls in years.

I'm just nervous.

You old geezer!

Hehehe.

Don't "hehehe" me!

Can you remove your hand from there?!

I mean, the last guy who came along was a rugged old fellow.

Must be Gildarts.

The one before that was a masculine meathead,

and so was the one before that, and on and on...

But what a time to be alive!

Such beautiful lady wizards!

I see. I can sympathize.

You can?

He's awfully different from his first impression.

And he's the father of wizard guilds?

He's the worst.

But none of them came back.

Gildarts did!

The last one. That's true...

He's the only one who survived.

But hardly "safely," I hear.

It got my left arm, left leg, and some of my guts.

Are you certain you're prepared to take on this quest?

That's why we came here.

Why is Juvia here?! What for?!

Why? I mean, if you go on a job, you don't have to be here.

Then let us go do a job!

The quest is to protect Gray-sama with our lives!

The client is Juvia!

And Juvia will accept the quest!

O-Okay?

Don't you know how to trust your beloved and wait for his return?

What did you... just say?

I do!

I know Natsu-sama will come back to me.

And he'll accept my love for him!

I wouldn't get my hopes up about Natsu like that.

Indeed.

Natsu-san is surrounded by a lot of women, such as Lucy, Lisanna-san, and Erza-san.

I-I'm included?

And so is Gray, apparently.

Ur, Ultear, Cana, and Briar. Not to mention Erza.

Plenty of ladies around.

My only boyfriend is this barrel.

Watch your mouth!

I only spoke the truth!

Oh my, I see they're friends already.

Y-Yes.

What's the matter, Gajeel?

That woman.

Did she just say Briar?

Briar... as in from Avatar?

I need your signatures on this contract first.

Do not tell anyone about the nature of the 100 Years Quest.

Should you die while on this quest, you indemnify the client and the Magic Council.

Fine by me.

Okay!

Maybe I should go home...

Lucy, you're really souping.

Sweating.

But...

I came all the way here in the heat of the moment, but I'm getting scared now...

Because it's the 100 Years Quest we're talking about!

It's the job no one has ever completed.

Princess, I'm not allowed to tell you the details, but I have a feeling.

A premonition of a reunion on Guiltina.

A reunion? Does that mean...

Oh no! I shouldn't have said that.

This calls for punishment.

A hard one!

I'm gonna go for it.

I've got my friends with me!

Okay, let us hear it!

Tell us all about the 100 Years Quest!

Very well. The quest is quite simple.

There are five "Dragon Gods" on Guiltina.

You must seal them away.

Guiltina's five Dragon Gods?

Five dragons?

So the 100 Years Quest...

...is a dragon hunt?!

I myself mastered Dragon Slayer Magic to seal them away.

But their power is so destructive that it earned them the title of "gods."

Every single one of them is as strong as Acnologia.

Dragon hunt? Now I'm all fired up!

Natsu is the one who defeated Acnologia.

I am certain we are capable of completing this quest.

Wha... So you are...

So, where are these five dragon guys?!

What's wrong?

So that means this is it.

If people like you can't complete this quest,

that means there's no one else in the world who can do it.

Which means this is the final try.

You're our last hope.

Damn right.

Because we're gonna complete the quest!

What the heck are these things?!

Walking jellyfish!

Natsu, don't touch them recklessly.

What if they're poisonous?

Do you think they're edible?

Don't eat them.

They're kind of cute.

Yes, they are.

Lucy-san?!

Aren't you greedy?

Natsu!

Watch out!

They're trying to get inside your body!

I told you so.

Happy, do something!

I've never eaten jellyfish before.

Roar of the Sky Dragon!

I'm so sorry, jellies.

I fink... by bouf is numb...

I ate one.

What?!

Don't complain if you die from the poison.

There is much we don't know about this continent.

We must be careful.

Check it out!

A pig with antlers!

Aye!

What did I just say?

Apparently, these five Dragon Gods had nothing to do with the Dragon King Festival,

the war that happened in Ishgar 400 years ago.

Their presence was hidden away,

and most of the Magic Council didn't even know about them.

The five dragons don't act unless something significant happens.

And when they do, they split the earth and tear up the sky: a catastrophe itself.

Elefseria-san was the first to notice the presence of the five dragons,

learned Dragon Slayer Magic, and challenged them.

But he was powerless against them.

In the hope that there would eventually be someone who could defeat them,

he turned it into a quest.

And that was more than 100 years ago.

I don't know the whereabouts of all five of them,

but there is a clue to the location of Mercphobia, Water God Dragon.

If you go southwest in the Valeria region, there's a port city called Ermina.

This city used to worship Mercphobia as a god.

Ermina, huh? Got it!

One last thing, about your reward.

Oh, yeah!

I almost forgot.

How much do we get?

One.

One thing you wish for, anything at all.

Among all that exists, I shall give you one thing you wish for.

I mean, "anything" sounds too open-ended.

What if I said...

Is there something you want?

Oh, I know!

Your rent for the rest of your life!

Then I'll ask for a house!

I'd want a cat like Frosch.

Fro thinks so, too.

I'd ask for... a bigger chest.

Your wish is so modest!

What?! That's like, the greediest request!

I agree that "anything" is an absurd and elusive reward,

but it won't matter if we don't complete the quest.

That's true.

But the 100 Years Quest deserves a reward like that.

Aye!

Oh, there it is!

The city of Ermina!

Why are you dressed like that, Gajeel-kun?

You too, Lily...

A detective should wear a trench coat, right?

A detective?

The new woman called Touka...

She knew Briar's name.

A member of Avatar.

The one we captured a year ago.

I remember! She was making eyes at Gray-sama!

Her name wasn't disclosed to the public,

but Touka knew it.

So! We're going to investigate her, using our deductive skills from our Council days.

Juvia agrees!

Juvia thinks there's something fishy about her!

I'm feeling my deductive power!

First, we tail her!

Now, that's some great deducing!

Yes!

Just so you know, that's not "deducing."

But suspecting our own members...

Wow! I can smell the ocean!

The walls of the buildings are filthy.

It must be an old town.

Try not to get lost.

Especially you, Natsu and Happy.

Would a port city have a lot of fish dishes?

Not interested.

Let's find a place to stay first.

We've gotta find food first!

Let's look for fish! Fish!

More travelers, it seems.

Those are wizards from the southern continent, honored Water God, Suijin-sama.
