When he entered the room, Magnus was puzzled at the sight of an argument between a pink-haired guy and a blue cat with a nudist and what seemed to be his fangirl. But as nobody else seemed to bother, Magnus thought it'd be best not to interfere and, instead, he turned to the barmaid.
"Uhm, excuse me, you are Mirajane, aren't you?"
Magnus was sure he'd recognize her face from the various posters and magazines.
"Yes," she replied in a friendly tone, "But you can call me 'Mira', like everyone else does. What can I do for you?"
"The master sent me to you. See, he has just accepted my request to join Fairy Tail an-"
"Ha, congratulations!"
"Thank you," he replied with a smile, "And he said that you'd give me my guild symbol."
"Okay, I will do this", she said, then turned around to face another girl who had just appeared next to her.
"Lisanna, could you do me a favour and bring me the stamp four our guild symbol?"
"Sure," she answered, "Did we get a new member?"
"Silly," Mira teased her and pointed at Magnus, "He is standing right in front of you!"
"Argh, how embarrassing," she almost moaned, then turned to Magnus, waved at him with a smile and said, "Welcome to Fairy Tail, I am Lisanna, Mira's sister."
"Nice to meet you," he replied, "My name is Magnus."
While Lisanna left the main hall to bring the stamp, the argument between the nudist and the pink-haired seemed to tense up. Now, even the other guild members started looking at them, but none of them even tried to calm them down, but rather encouraged them to start a full fight, with the exception of a red-haired woman. The way she glanced at them sent shivers up Magnus' spine, yet, the two did not seem to notice.
"Mira-nee," Lisanna suddenly reappeared, "I can't find the stamp, are you sure that it is still in the storage?"
Magnus turned around to watch into her direction – only to see a chair flying through the air out of the corner of his eye! Not having enough time to shout "watch out", he quickly reacted, lifted his left arm and spread his fingers.
"Wah!" Lisanna shouted visibly shocked and changed into a defensive stance. A black sphere, with a diameter of at least one metre had suddenly appeared floating next to her! Everyone turned their heads towards her and for some seconds, it was completely silent as everyone stared at this pitch-black ball floating around in the air.
Then, Magnus moved his fingers to each other and when their tips touched each other again, the sphere disappeared.
"What was that thing?" A man with a pipe asked.
"My magic," Magnus answered loud enough so that everyone could hear him, "I had to use it because someone" – he moved his head towards the two quarrellers – "someone apparently threw a chair at her."
"Oy, Grey, why did you throw a chair at her?"
"What? Only you are stupid enough to do something like this!"
"If I had thrown a chair, it would have hit you and not Lisanna!"
"And you think I could not aim at your face, toad?"
"It is Salamander!"
Magnus sweatdropped. This was the famous Salamander?
"And yes, I do believe that you're too dumb to hit me!"
"Oh, you want to see, if I can hit you? I will show you, if I can hit your face or not!"
"Ahem," the red-haired woman cleared her throat and immediately gained everyone's attention. The two guys seemed to be paralyzed for a moment.
"E-Erza?" Salamander eventually dared to speak.
"Since when were you listening?" The other one asked. Fear could be seen in both guys' eyes.
"Long enough," Erza answered. Although she was not speaking loudly, her determination made every word sound like a shout at the top of her lungs.
"I told you to behave and not to start a fight again!"
Both guys now gulped.
"But-," Erza turned to Magnus. He was not happy that she was now looking at him, definitely not happy at all!
"I was the one who threw the chair."
"YOU?" Natsu exclaimed.
"It was supposed to hit you two idiots, but I seem to have underestimated my strength. I apologize, Lisanna," Erza said, blushing a bit.
"N-No problem," Lisanna replied, trying to hide her shock and how awkward the situation felt for her with a sweet smile.
A moment of silence passed, but was suddenly disrupted:
"Still...I would have hit you!"
"You want me to hit you with a chair?"
"Even a little girl could hit me harder than you could!"
"You wanna try out?"
"SHUT UP YOU TWO!"
"S-Sorry, Erza..."
