Why is everyone upset at Mest? I thought the kids wanted some realism? Not everyone in the guild has the same idea of protecting it. Mest has not been with the guild for a long time. He is the guild's spy/agent who infiltrates deep into organizations that FT suspects. He plays the long game. This gives him a different experience compared to the rest. ...and so this givers him a different perspective on how FT should protect itself.

...and man, that vision of Gajeel with his hope of a happy life with Levy. IT HITS HOME. IT HITS HARD.
