"And in first place, folks, the one who came back from last, FAIRY TAIL!" The commentator yells, sending the stadium into a frenzied mess.
"I want Lucy to go out and get our trophy and jewels." Master says, sending a pointed glance at the blonde female.
"Master, can I have a word with you?" Lucy demands, glaring at the tiny man.
"Of course, my child." Master replies, before Lucy pinches the Master's ear and drags him to the infirmary.
"ARE YOU TRYING TO EXPOSE THE FACT THAT CELESTIAL MAGES CAN USE MORE THAN ONE MAGIC?!" Lucy shrieks into his ear once the door is shut and the room soundproofed, courtesy of Master Makarov. Makarov gives Lucy an innocent look.
"What area you talking about? I just wanted you to go grab the trophy and the money." Makarov replies.
"And I bet you wanted me to do a god damn show when I grab the trophy too." Lucy says, raising a brow in suspicion at the sweating Master, who then sighs in resignation.
"Lucy, must you keep lying to your guild?" Makarov questions the blonde female.
"I do in order to protect my magic and myself. If I reveal I have a second magic, Natsu will stop at nothing to get me to fight him and I don't want to ruin my friendship with him over my magic." Lucy says, sighing.
"Lucy, you are an amazing Celestial Mage, and an even more brilliant person. Why would you not want people to know about your Illusion Memory magic?" Makarov asks as he jumps up on the bed, sitting himself down for a long conversation with the blonde.
"Master. I just am not ready too reveal this fact to other people, because if I do, there may be a raise in Celestial Mages, and that could be both a good thing and a bad thing. If there are more mages like Karen Lilica and Angel, then the spirits themselves would be getting horrible owners who wouldn't care for them and they wouldn't be treated right." Lucy explains as she leans against the wall across from Makarov as she pinches the bridge of her nose.
"But what if you trained them yourself, trained them how a good Stellar Mage should treat their spirits?" Makarov says, watching the weary blonde.
"Master." Lucy begins. "If I were to do that, there is nothing that can prove that all the students I take under my wing will actually follow the ways that I was taught. My mother taught me strictly and if I deviated from what she taught me, I was strictly punished. Master, becoming a Stellar Mage requires so much more than what people think. My stellar magic takes more of a toll on my body than physically working out does. And physically working out drains me completely. I am not only supporting myself with my magic, but I am supporting one or more other people's magic levels with just my own, and if I were to overdue it, it could very well be the death of me." Lucy whispers, watching the ground.
"I didn't know that much, my child." Makarov begins. "How about this? I give you one of our mages, and you can choose which mage you want to train, and you can attempt to teach one of our own about your ways and see how things turn out from there?" Makarov suggests.
"No, Master. I am not ready to be a teacher yet. Please understand and have Erza go out in my stead to collect the trophy and jewels. I need to have a few minutes to myself." Lucy says, looking up at the tiny man, showing unshed tears gathering at the corners of her eyes.
"Very well, my child. Do you want Natsu or Levy to come in here, or do you want to be alone?" Master asks.
"Could you send Levy, Lisanna, and Mira in? I'll tell them, if that will appease you about me not telling anyone about my magics." Lucy says, causing Makarov to grin and nod.
"At least you will talk about it with someone." Makarov says gently, patting the sniffling blonde on her head as she falls to her knees. The Master smiles gently at the quietly sobbing blonde before stepping out of the infirmary and quickly making his way to the stands, where he directs Erza to gather the trophy and awards and sends Levy, Lisanna, and Mira to the infirmary to talk to Lucy.
With Lucy, Levy, Lisanna, and Mira
"Lu-chan?" Levy calls out, stepping into the quiet infirmary, only to get a sob as a response, causing the three female mages to look at each other in alarm, before running inside to find their blonde friend.
"Lucy, what's wrong?!" Mira exclaims as she nears the blonde.
"Master is such an asshat." Lucy sniffles, looking up at the white-haired beauty with such a sad look that the three female mages gather the crying blond into their arms.
"Lu-chan. Why do you say that?" Levy asks, looking at her best female friend.
"He wanted me to tell everyone something when I'm not ready to." Lucy replies, laying her head on Lisanna's shoulder and curling into the you ger take-over mage, surprising the female thoroughly.
"What do you mean, Lucy-san?" Lisanna asks, tilting her head slightly while scrutinizing the blonde.
"He wanted me to tell everyone about my second magic and I'm not ready to do that, so I compromised with telling you three." Lucy explains as she rubs her eyes, gently wiping the tears that gather away.
"What do you mean?" Mira and Levy ask in unison, their curiosity getting the better of them.
"Celestial mages often have two magics because our power is vast and we would be practically defenseless if we run out of magic and are in the middle of a fight, we could loose our life. Our magic forces us to walk a thin line between keeping our body and magic strong but not enough to kill us, or overpowering our bodies and sending ourselves to our own deaths by pushing our limitations. Master wants me to train someone from the guild in Celestial magic, but I am not ready for another increase in Celestial Mages because I don't think it's right for the spirits if they end up getting abused. I myself went through harsh training's and strict punishments to learn the two magics I have today." Lucy explains, taking a deep breath. "I have Celestial Magic and one that can be considered a lost magic because no one remembers its existence, yet it flows through my veins and my bloodline, and that magic is...
