It was the start of another day at the infamous guild, Fairy Tail. But today there were no full guild brawls or constant bickering of rivals. No, today everyone was rushing from one job to another and a certain bluenette couldn't understand why.
Even Natsu and Gray who are normally at each other's throats wouldn't even spare a second to insult the other. Wendy Marvell was standing off to the side with Lucy and Mirajane. The three were chatting as usual until Lucy decided to ask Mira why everyone was acting so weird.
"Hey Mira? Why is everyone running around doing jobs all of a sudden?"
"Oh. Well that's because the selection for the S-Class trials is coming up soon so everyone wants to get as many points from the master as possible." Answered the silver haired take over Mage.
"Oh that explains why Natsu-san is acting so weird" stated Wendy.
This got Mira interested in the concern the small bluenette has in our resident pink haired dragon slayer.
"Ooooooo. What's with the concern for Natsu Wendy?" Teased Mira. This got Wendy fairly flustered and embarrassed.
"No- nothing! I just noticed him first!" Came the shy response from Wendy. "But if S-Class is such a big deal then I think I'll try as well!"
"Well becoming S-Class is very important to Natsu. He thinks that if he becomes strong enough to become S-Class then his father Igneel will come back to him." responded Mira.
"Oh. I had no idea it was so important to him. How about you Lucy? Are you going to try?" Asked Wendy.
Lucy thought about it for a moment and due to her earlier conversation with Cana decided she shouldn't try to get entered. "I think I'll sit this one out. I don't think I'm strong enough right now."
"Aww. That's not true Lucy. You're plenty strong!" Responded Mira.
"Yeah. Well hopefully I'll be strong enough to help Cana win this year."
"If anyone can do it it'd be you Lucy!" Encouraged Wendy. "Well I'd better get started if I'm going to make it!"
"Good luck Wendy! Be careful!" Both Lucy and Mira yelled.
Now with her goal in mind Wendy set out to do some difficult jobs. She guessed that the harder the job she did the better it would be for her chances of making it. Maybe she should ask Natsu if he wants to do a job with her today. With that thought in her mind her face went as red a tomato.
She decided it would be best for her to just go off on her own. Normally she would take her best friend Carla but she's off with Happy today and despite how she acts she actually enjoys Happy's actions towards her. Wendy giggled at the thought of her late night talks with Carla about Happy and Natsu. They would always stay up at night just recounting the things they did with the dragon slayer and his exceed.
Once again thinking about the pink haired dragon slayer made her face heat up even more as she decided to shake it off and pick a job. There were so many jobs to pick she decided on a simple Bandit mission. All the requests says is that they need a small group of Bandits taken out around their town and the reward is a good 500,000 jewels.
Normally she would go off on a job like this with the rest of her team but seeing as they are all competing against one another she decided she could handle it on her own.
It shouldn't take her more than a day or so to complete and then she can come back and take more jobs just like everyone else. Maybe if she becomes S-class she will be as strong as Natsu.
With that goal in mind she headed off to do the job she selected and left the guild hall.
"Hey. Where's Wendy going looking so determined?" Came the confused question from Erza who happened to be walking past.
"She's going to try and become S-class so she's going to go take a new job." Answered Mira
"Ah. I wish her good luck. Hopefully she won't get into any trouble running around on her own."
"She'll be fine. She is a dragon slayer you know?"
The "That's what worries me."
