HI READERS! I STILL CAN'T MOVE ON TO WHAT HAPPENED TO GAJEEL. SO THIS IS MY STORY OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN AFTER. REVIEWS ARE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!

LEVY'S POV

"Levy, you're home already?", Lily asked.

"Yes. There's a big progress in my experiment so I thought that I'll reward myself with a bit of sleep."

"You know what? You should have enough sleep. You've become paler."

"Yes. Yes."

I waved my hand and went inside my room. I took a bath and went to the kitchen to get a beer. Lily then scolded me for not eating properly and always drinking beer. I went back inside my room and sat in the sofa. It'sbeen 7 years and I still can't forget what happened that day. The day when Gajeel...

I grabbed my beer and drank it. I went back and forth to get beer from the kitchen. The next thing I know, it's already morning and I haven't slept at all.

I took a bath, put my clothes on and went outside.

"You haven't slept at all, did you?", Lily asked.

"No", I said while laughing.

"Here."

He handed me a bento box and a tumbler.

"I told you, Lily. You don't have to do this."

"I want to. Please eat it at the university."

I sighed and hugged Lily.

"I will. Thank you."

I'm now a professor at a university. After the battle has ended 7 years ago, the guilds decided to make a university for mages to teach them how to use their magic properly. Aside from being a professor, I'm also a researcher. For 7 years, I've been doing a research about complex magic. I'm trying to put it into a lacrima and it's purpose is to open a way to the underworld.

"Good morning everyone!" I greeted my class.

"Good morning, Levy-sensei."

I taught the class about advance magic. My students all use spells to use magic. With advance magic, they can use any type of magic although it's only for a short time.

After class, they raised their hands to ask questions.

"Sensei, we've heard that you're working on a lacrima-based magic. What is it all about?"

Where did they heard about that?

I laughed at the question as if it's nothing.

"It's a secret."

"Eh?", they said in chorus.

"Class is over. Bye class!"

"Bye, Levy-sensei."

I went to my office, more like it's a library. It's full of books that I need for my research. From the day I've started my research, I was able to complete 98% of it. The last thing to do is to test it but the university is not the place for it.

Two days later, I went back to the place where it all happened. If this is a success then I can finally see him again.

I've started preparing for the "ritual". I've used a special chalk to draw magic circles. While doing so, I've been casting spells non stop. I've put the lacrima in the center of the circle. As I've finished casting the multiple spells, the lacrima sank to the ground. Minutes passed and nothing happened.

It's a fail, huh? It seems that 7 years is not enough to finish it.

I opened my bag to bring out a piece of cloth. I was about to erase the magic circles when it just suddenly glowed. I moved back and watched what's about to happen. I closed my eyes due to the brightness and when I opened my eyes...

"The ground opened!", I exclaimed.

I looked at the hole. I can't see any sign of the ground below. A thin layer of magic is separating me from the underground world. Once I'll put my hands in it, it will suck me and I can only have 50% chance of getting back to Earth.

I've put my hands in and in a few seconds, I've reached the ground. Wait, let's erase that. I've reached the underworld.
