Chapter 101
“Join you guys?”
Noah flinched .
“You want me to join you on the destruction of the Tokyo Area?”
“Just the Tokyo Area?”
Hiruko Kagetane mused before he chuckled .
“Guild master Noah, according to the information I gathered, you used your own fortune to buy up all the cheap land on the borders of the Outer Area . You then proceeded to build a lot of residences, schools, and hospitals while taking in cursed children that have nowhere else to go . You built Fairy Tail from nothing . ”
Noah didn’t say anything but his eyes meant business going by how cold they are .
Hiruko didn’t notice his eyes or he didn’t care . Either way, he continued talking .
“From before it was completed to after it was established, Fairy Tail only got more and more famous . Nobody thought anyone with a sane mind would go through all the trouble for children that can turn into monsters at any given time . ”
Humans who are infected by the Gastrea Virus will inevitably turn into a monster after the virus severely mutates their DNA . This process happens in a very rapid fashion with no cure .
The cursed children are exceptions to this process .
However, the cursed children are strong fighting assets that are fueled by the ticking bomb in their bodies, the bomb known as the Gastrea virus .
The Gastrea virus is still active in the cursed children .
The strain of the Gastrea virus in cursed children doesn’t rapidly mutate their host, instead, the virus slowly but surely mutates the children . The children got their supernatural strength and regenerative abilities as a side effect of this mutation process .

Sooner or later, cursed children will turn into Gastrea monsters . The timing depends on a lot of factors but it could be anyone’s guess when they turn into monsters .
The mutation completion process or corrosion rate is a rough measure of how likely a cursed child will turn into a monster . It is common knowledge that once this corrosion rate reaches 50%, a cursed child will turn into a monster, losing the ability to maintain their human form or rationality .
This is also the reason why a lot of cursed children end up taking jobs as Initiators because of IISO, the International Initiator Supervising Organization . IISO has suppressing agents that when injected into the cursed children can significantly delay the corrosion speed .
To get the formula, Noah had to pull a lot of stops . Without the formula, a lot of cursed children would have turned a long time ago .
“Why did you built Fairy Tail? I could more or less guess . ”
Kagetane looked down at Noah while standing on top of the wall like a poser .
“In order to get Fairy Tail in operation, I guess you must have met a lot of barriers and resistance right?”
Noah clenched his fists .
Kagetane’s not referring to the monsters he had to take out nor the amount of time he had to put in . He’s referring to the humans that made his job really tough .
Ignoring Tendo Kikunojou who hated cursed children to the point of apathy, even the average citizen from the Stolen Generation hated cursed children . To them, cursed children are vermins, a plague on society .
He also had to purge a lot of dissenters who sneaked into his organization to cause damage .
Noah knows all too well that talking to people who are blinded by anger and hate is a fool’s errand . He had no pity left to spare for these pathetic humans .
Noah had to personally send a lot of them packing back into the safe comfort of the city area after they came and caused trouble on Fairy Tail grounds .

They huffed and puffed like annoying animals . They demonstrated and they protested but Noah had better things to do then to bow down to their demands .
Fairy Tail got its name because the protestors inadvertently made Fairy Tail a big deal by making a big deal out of this .
Noah became associated with Fairy Tail as the guardian of the cursed children refuges .
Kagetane stirred up a lot of unpleasant memories Noah would rather not remember . He tightened his grip on his handgun .
“I am quite impressed that you established Fairy Tail under such severely adverse conditions . With all honesty, I tip my hat to you . ”
“Have you seriously never considered just killing off all these people who are only good at opening and closing their mouths? Just be done with it . ”
Noah knew where Kagetane is taking this . He stopped him with a question .
“And that’s why you’re extending me an invitation?”
“Yes, at least that’s the motivation in you that I am banking on . ”
Kagetane continued .
“We are invited you because you are very strong . ”
“Oh?”
Noah said in a sarcastic manner .

“You’re considering me an obstacle to your plans?”
“You got that right but not the full picture . ”
Kagetane pressed down on his hat before extending an arm .
“Come, join me and let us send this world to its inevitable end . ”
“Send the world to hell?”
The words are like cold water being poured on his heart .
A raging fire started burning .
Destroy the worlds that rejoiced at their restoration, the world that are practically begging him to be saved?
Are you kidding me?!
Noah raised his head . His eyes are burning with pure wrath . HIs emotion caused his magic power to leak out in torrents . His magic power started affecting his surrounding, causing a minor storm in the area .
“If you say that again, I am going to make you rest here for all eternity . ”
His gargantuan magic power blew away all the debris around him .
“—!”
Kagetane and Kohina raised both their arms to steady themselves . Their bodies tensed up and they immediately started to feel very threatened by the person before them .
They can’t detect magic power but from the mysterious sensation of an invisible force strangling them, they knew that Noah can pull off what he said and then some .
“You…”
Kagetane can’t hide his shock .
“Wh-what are you?”
“Papa… Papa…”
Kohina’s bloodlust got turned into terror .
“We are gonna die…”
Kagetane clenched his teeth .
“Let’s run!”
Kagetane and Kohina instantly turned tail and disappeared from Noah’s sight .
The minor storm slowly quelled as the one who conjured this calmed his heart .
He stood there with his eyes closed and he let the cool rainwater rain all over him .
