Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail
A/N: This is my second fairy tail story, but it is the first GraLu story I'm making so I hope I can make this a good one. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year lovelies, enjoy my first chapter!
Chapter 1: New Recruits
"Where are the files for the new recruits?" Gray questions.
"Here, sir." A man answers as he passes him multiple folders.
"Chris Evans, Damien Walker, Levy McGarden, Derek Adams, Wendy Marvell, wow she's a young one, 12, and Lucy Heartfilia." Gray reads aloud. "Hmph, that last girl's background is classified." Gray voices aloud, tone full of question.
"Yes, sir. Master Makarov specifically said so." The man answers curtly.
"Interesting, classified for even captains. Interesting indeed..." Gray trails off with a hand on his chin signifying the universal thinking pose.
"WARREN!" Gray yells unexpectedly causing the said guy across the room to jump.
"THE HELL GRAY. WHAT?" He yells back annoyed.
"Go wake the new recruits up. Tell them to meet me in the training rooms in 30." Gray snaps before walking out of the room.
Exactly half an hour later, Gray walks into the training room with the glint in his eye that tells you he is in charge. He immediately took in all of the recruit's appearances and matched them to the folders he skimmed just half an hour ago. In the middle of the room, talking painstakingly loud was Chris Evans and Damien Walker. He recognized Chris' scar on his face. He was about 5'9, brown eyes, and untamed ass black hair. Beside him, a little shorter, roughly 5'8, blue eyes and unmistakable bright red hair was Damien Walker. Gray turned his head to the right and in the corner was another man. That, must be Derek Adams, there was only one male left after all. Derek Adams was 5'8, olive green eyes, a pretty green really, and dirty blond hair. He turns his head to the other side of the room where two females were talking in hushed tones. Both of them had beautiful blue hair, one of them was the 12 year old and the other one was, if he recalled correctly, Levy McGarden. Levy was wearing a cute orange outfit that looked quite agile. That's good, she'll need it for today. He took a closer look at Levy and decided that she was quite... cute, along with Wendy. He always did adore children, but in Fairy Tail, he can't afford to be biased towards the younger ones. Gray turned his head once more, searching for the last recruit, the classified Lucy. It didn't take long to find her, she was quite... attractive, Gray would say. She was leaning casually against the wall with her eyes closed. Lucy was wearing a sports shirt with leggings. Gray was glad she knew how to dress unlike those one of those loud idiots in the middle wearing jeans. Now that Gray had everyone memorized, he walked to the centre of the room to begin.
"ALRIGHT, SETTTLE DOWN EVERYONE!" Gray yells as they all silence.
"Who're you?" Chris Evans sneers rudely.
Gray scoffs before walking up to him and glares at him straight in the eye. Gray's eyes were one you certainty did not want to mess with. Gray was a little taller than Chris and therefore he was slightly towering over him, showing off an even more intimidating look than he was already purposing.
"I am your trainer and a captain of Fairy Tail. YOUR Captain, so I suggest you leave a good impression on me before I decide to torture you for the next five days. You, Chris Evans – Gray seethed through his teeth threateningly- may call me Captain, only." He turns to the rest of the group and straightens up. "As for the rest of you, you may call me Gray." Gray stops to take a deep breath before continuing. "Okay! This is the Secret Alliance Fairy Tail and I will be overseeing your training for the next five days. Here's a breakdown of what we'll be doing and listen closely because I only plan on saying this once. Today, we're going to see your fitness levels. We'll be doing what you will all know as a diagnostic. Tomorrow will be focused on combat. Wednesday, will be the matches for strictly only combat, no weapons included, or magic for the fact. Thursday, is the one-on-one magical training and Friday are the final evaluations against one another, no rules, just fight. ANY QUESTIONS RECRUITS?!" Gray yells in the scariest tone one could imagine. Now that, that is how you leave an impression Gray!
"Yeah, will you be our Captain or commanding officer after this?" Damien asks his voice low and playful.
"Probably, if you survive the final round, and that is only if you do. Now, let us get started. WARREN!" Gray yells loudly and immediately following, the doors came banging open with five people.
"These –Gray gestured to the five- along with me will be the ones assessing you." He says smirking.
"Name's Warren." A man with black hair introduces. "Elfman!"" A man with white hair said. "Mirajane." A sweet lady introduces, but we all know that Fairy Tail spies are anything, but sweet. "Juvia." A woman with blue hair says.
Lucy nudges Gray, eyes full of curiosity. "Is it just me or is that chick who just introduced herself looking at you with hearts in your eyes?"
Gray gaped at her. Is she fearless? Gray silently questioned himself.
"LOVE RIVAL!" Juvia yells as she runs towards Gray and Lucy, only to be stopped by a red head.
"Erza Scarlet." She says fiercely.
"You're not seeing things." Gray whispers silently before turning back to his friends/co-workers. "Make your pick." Gray says.
"Lucy Heartfilia, with me." Erza says commandingly. Gray immediately felt bad for her, but there was nothing he could do.
"Derek Adams, you look like a man! Come here!" Elfman yells.
"Levy McGarden." Warren says
"Wendy Marvell." Mirajane says.
"Damien Walker." Juvia reluctantly says.
"Alright, asshole. You're with me. Let's begin!" Gray yelled as Chris trudged behind him.
GRAY'S POV
"Come on, let's go man!" I yell as he struggles once more with chin ups. Jesus, he's only on his 90th one and he's whining. It's been twenty minutes. "Forty-One. " I seethe. We were only on our second evaluation, Chris did I guess what you could consider somewhat decent in the reflects test. I look around the room. What the hell? Elfman was already evaluating push ups? I turn my head to Juvia and sigh in relief; she's also on chin ups, along with Warren and Mirajane. What about Erza? I look around for her only to drop my jaw in shock. Erza's recruit was already behind timed for the sprints. By the looks of it, she's already on the 800 m. The hell?! I turn back to my pathetic recruit and groan. "You're not going to make it through recruit training like this." I say.
"S-shut up!" He stutters.
"You have ten minutes left." I say loud enough for him to hear. When those ten minutes was over, I had decided that Chris Evans was pathetic in strength. He did a total of 12 chin ups in those ten minutes.
"What's the record at Fairy Tail?" Chris asks in-between breaths.
"509." I laugh, that's my record. Highest one in Fairy Tail. "Why, that shouldn't matter to you. Your score was a total of 102." I laugh again.
After a full five hours, the training was finally over. The recruits proceeded to the dining room for dinner and I met with all the trainers in the control room to total up the results. I put Chris' results on the counter and Warren sorts through them all ranking them first to last place. Derek Adams was first followed by Lucy Heartfilia – which was incredibly unexpected-, Damien Walker, Levy McGarden, Wendy Marvell and my pathetic recruit Chris Evans.
I take a look at Dereks results and am awarded with pride. This particular recruit's results are high. Reflects, 9 seconds, chin ups, 500 – heed I remind you, record here is 509-, Push ups, 780, and ran the 100 m sprint in 11.3 seconds. I put down Derek's results and pick up Lucy's results. I almost spat out the water in my mouth when I saw her results. They were absolutely incredible. I did not know that Lucy's scores were so high, she didn't look the part but then again, who am I to judge? Mirajane doesn't look the part either. Lucy's results were Reflects, 9.8 seconds, chin ups, 497, push ups 776, and ran the 100 m sprint in 10 seconds flat. Wow, the world record is 9 seconds flat. I am astounded. I half mindedly tell Warren to post the results up and proceed to Master Makarov's office to ask about Lucy Heartfilia's 'classified information'. This recruit has definitely peeked my interest.
