==Synopsis==
===Key of the Starry Sky arc===
After Lucy Heartfilia shows the "Key of the Starry Heavens", one of the two books referred to as "The Two Great Myths," Samuel finally introduces himself to the members of Fairy Tail who are currently searching for clues about the mysterious clock. He predicts Fairy Tail coming to the Heartfilia Konzern and discovering some clues about the clock. When Lucy and the others try to escape with the book, Samuel follows Lucy, leaving Dan Straight and Erza Scarlet to battle each other. He manages to find Lucy and the others through his predictions and asks them to just hand the book over to him to avoid any more fights. Lucy and Happy try to fool them by throwing a false book to Happy to keep it away from the Legion Corps. Unfortunately, Samuel's calculations enable him to find out that the real book is hidden under Michelle Lobster's dress. Using his Gale-Force Reading Glasses, he memorizes the book and decides to leave it to Lucy.
After Samuel's calculations lead to the defeat of Natsu and his team, he, along with Dan Straight, heads back to Byro Cracy in order to report to him.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 133 Later, Samuel watches as Gajeel Redfox digs into the mountain's peak. He watches as Gajeel stops and tells his group members something. After that, Samuel is revealed, hovering above the group, saying that he is looking for the same thing as they are.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 136
Samuel introduces himself to Gajeel and the others and explains about the Legion Corps. Samuel is called Sammy by Gajeel, which makes him angry. Samuel calls Panther Lily nii-san because he is older, and a slightly annoyed Panther Lily then says that he will take care of Samuel until Gajeel and his group locate the clock piece. Samuel states that he knows that Panther Lily went through a lot of trouble because he sided with the humans in Edolas, and tells him to take things the smart way, like him. When Panther Lily then shifts into his battle form, Samuel too does the same. They start fighting while Gajeel and the others dig and fall down into a cavern in the mountain, with Samuel stating that it is all going according to his calculations. Samuel dodges all of Panther Lily's incoming attacks, and Panther Lily tells him to fight fair and square, but Samuel replies that that is what slow-witted beings do.
Going on to say that the Legionnaires have been through rigorous training to adapt through any situation, he pushes Panther Lily off a cliff and praises himself. Panther Lily then ambushes him and says that Gajeel and the others must have found the part already, but Samuel reveals that there are traps in the ruins. When Panther Lily gets free from Samuel's grasp, he demands to know if Samuel is an Exceed that was sent to Earth Land too, and Samuel confirms that it is true. After Gajeel defeats the statue, Samuel frets, wondering how his calculations have gone wrong. Panther Lily takes advantage of the opportunity and defeats him. Panther Lily then offers to battle again, but Samuel goes on about how next time, he will be able to defeat them with the correct calculations, which annoys Panther Lily, who sends him flying.
As Gajeel's group is returning, Samuel is following them, which causes them to get annoyed. He requests that Panther Lily talk to him privately, and upon stepping away from the group, Samuel brings to light that Exceeds perceive time differently to humans, and that due to this there was something in the Key of the Starry Heavens book that leapt out at him.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 138 Samuel later arrives in the desert that holds the underground graveyard the Fairy Tail teams are meeting at, and along with Sugarboy and Mary Hughes, bears witness to the destruction caused by Angel's Barakiel. He tells Mary Hughes and Sugarboy that his calculations are going through as he suspected.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 140
After the retrieval of the Infinity Clock by Oración Seis, Samuel regroups with the other members of Legion and returns to Zentopia to report to Lapointe in the place of the Archbishop. Lapointe announces to Samuel and the rest that he will reinforce their fighting force by adding another member to Legion, and shortly afterwards Guttman Kubrick arrives, much to everyone's fear and surprise. Samuel, along with the other Legionnaires, is then told by Lapointe that Coco's freedom depends on how well they do on the mission they were just given.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 141
Samuel goes out to finish his part of the mission and finds the three Exceeds of Fairy Tail also out completing a task. Interrupting Happy, Carla and Panther Lily, Samuel explains to the Exceed team that the Infinity Clock has been completed by the Reborn Oración Seis and that the situation is becoming so complicated that he needs their help. He asks Carla if she has seen any visions in regards to the clock. She reveals that she has and that what she has seen worries her. He tells her that what is most worrying is the fact that the Zentopia doctrine is being misused.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 142 Later, in the rain, Samuel flies through the sky with the Exceeds of Fairy Tail. Just like what Samuel said before, that there's something crucial they're forgetting, Happy has that feeling.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 143
When the Exceeds ask him what he meant by saying that the doctrine is being misused, Samuel challenges Panther Lily to yet another duel, saying that he will tell them everything after their fight. Panther Lily accepts and, while clashing, Samuel explains that he is worried both about Guttman's sudden release, as well as the strange orders he and Byro were given, as they did not involve reclaiming the Infinity Clock. Distraught as he is, Samuel is defeated by Panther Lily, who says that Samuel was better the last time when he was more focused. The Exceeds then fly towards the now revived Infinity Clock, and Samuel, demanding to witness the truth with his very eyes, decides to abandon the other Exceeds and head to the Zentopia Church alone.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 144
After Samuel learns the truth about Lapointe and the latter explains that the only way to stop Real Nightmare is to kill the clock's vessel, who is in fact Lucy, Samuel is determined to kill the Celestial Spirit Mage, in order to put an end to Real Nightmare. However, when he reaches the clock's core, Imitatia attacks him with her flower shield and Samuel falls to the bottom of the castle. However, despite his injuries, he is determined to climb back to the top and dispose of Lucy.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 147
Reaching the core of the Clock once more, Samuel flies straight for Lucy to stab her with his claw, but is blocked by Coco, who vows to protect her. As the two argue, Happy and Panther Lily also appear to protect Lucy, and Samuel and Panther Lily fight once more. Before their fight can conclude though, everyone is contacted telepathically by the Archbishop, who reveals his will to assist Fairy Tail, and tells everyone able to break the chains linking the Clock to the ground.
