<p>Hope this helps!</p>

<p>This job request appeared in Episode 2 of Fairy Tail S1</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/Oaoj0.jpg" alt="Occurance2"></p>

<p>This job request appeared in Episode 30 of Fairy Tail S2</p>

<p>So, considering the 7 year time skip, the amount of adventures they have went on for about 200 Episodes, why has this request not been cleared yet? </p>

<p>Is there any significance that they re-used this particular job request again and again?</p>

<p>Yes, I am positive that this has appeared more than this 2 times throughout the entire Fairy Tail Anime. </p>
