-A New Friend-

-Fairy Tail Academy-

"I wonder what's going on today?" Natsu wondered as they walked along the hallway, heading into class. They took their seats as class had started. The teacher walked in as students began to fidget in response to the latest news.

"Well class, today we'll be having a new student join us today. You may come in now." On queue the door opened up as Lucy walked in. Most of the students looked at her in awe at how beautiful she appeared while others mainly to some of the girls were somewhat jealous at how attention she was getting.

"Go ahead and introduce yourself." Lucy merely nodded as she stood in front of the class.

"Hello my name is Lucy Heartfilia and its a pleasure to join you all today." She bowed her head as the teacher then spoke. "Why don't you sit in that seat right there?" The teacher pointed to seat near where Wendy was seated and Lucy just made her her way and sat down.

"Lucy-san, I didn't know you were joining our class. This is going to be lots of fun now." She beamed a smile at Lucy who in response to her just winked and gave her a thumbs up. Afterwards, both girls returned to the board as the teacher cleared her throat.

"We have some news regarding the Grand Magic Festival. This year in order to participate in the festival, each individual must have a record of 50 percent or higher in magic prowess. In other words you must be able to at least finish six battles. But do not worry, for doing job request also fills the quota. That is all for now. you may go ahead and do as you please for the remainder of class." The teacher then opened the door to the class and left.

The entire class just went and began chatting up a storm. Natsu while packing up his things looked over to his pendant. The ruby within the pendant began to glow. The colour reminded him of how much he missed his father.

However he quickly dismissed those thoughts. There was no time to be depressed. He had to focus on getting those requests and battles done so that way he could be qualified to participate in the Grand Magic Festival.

"Hey Natsu, Magic Training is gonna start in a half-hour. Wanna come with me and get some warm up practice in?" Elfman asked as he walked up to him.

"Sure let's go besides I might be able to get some target practice in." He reasoned as they slowly left the room. Lucy decided to go as well seeing that since she didn't have anything to do, she wanted to get some practice in.

...

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu unleashed his breath attack as it hit a dummy head on and turned it to ash. He then followed up by targeting the other dummies in his sight and just as before prepared himself as he began to conjure flames. Then he proceeded activate his magic before shouting out his spells.

"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"

"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!"

"Fire Dragon's Blazing Surge!"

The flames hit the targets on the mark.

It took about 20 minutes until he wiped a bead of sweat off of his forehead. He saw the sight as he looked content with his practice. Elfman as well finished practicing with his arm turning back into its original state.

"Well we might as well get dressed for class. Let's-" He was interrupted as they looked over to the far side. They noticed Lucy wearing a strange outfit but for the most part they noticed the object in her hand. It appeared that she was using a bow.

They took a look at the targets and were in for a sight. All of the arrows had reached the bullseye...

"...I can't believe it... She just hit the bullseye. Not one missed it's mark." Elfman remarked in amazement. It was pretty amazing to say the least. Not to mention their hasn't been anyone who could actually hit all dummies without missing a complete circle.

Lucy finished her volleys as she looked at the sight in front of her. Content with her practice she made her way to the bench and grabbed herself a drink.

"That was awesome Lucy. I didn't think anyone could get all those shots..." He praised her as Lucy just looked at him before smirking.

"Oh yeah, well guess what... that was nothing. If I was serious I would have done it blind folded or while moving." She spoke confidently as Natsu raised in eyebrow. "Well if that's the case then I can't wait to see that."

He was excited to see what the blonde haired girl could do. Plus since there was still just a few weeks left it would be a good idea to see other mages that he would have to look out for. But that made him all the more pumped up. The more strong rivals the better.

"Well, we might as well get dressed up now. Besides class is gonna start any minute now." He spoke as Natsu then grabbed his bag and made their way to the locker rooms. "That guy... Natsu was it? He seems interesting...? I'll keep my eye on him..." She went back to the bench and grabbed her things before heading to the girls locker room.

Natsu and Elfman were changing into their respective clothes as the doors suddenly opened. Voices then rang in the room as students were chatting away and preparing.

"Hey Stripper, what took you so long?" Natsu mocked Gray as he called him by that hated nickname. A tick mark appeared on his head as he then turned around and glared at him.

"What did you say Flame-brain!?" His aura was glowing as they both started butting heads. Natsu and Gray couldn't stand each other but apparently no one knows how their little feud began.

Should they start throwing down right now, the room would be wrecked beyond repair.

"Can't you guys try to at least behave to the point where you don't wreck the place?" He questioned as both rivals looked at each other before finally looking away in annoyance.

"You know what? I can let it slide, just this once." Natsu put his hands in his pocket as Gray just shrugged his shoulders not really caring anymore about punching the pinkette's face in. He could always pick up where he left off.

"I don't really care anymore... What matters now is showing my skills." He closed his locker and walked past the two mages as he disappeared into the hall way. "Well, we might as well get going besides I bet you that everyone is already waiting." Elfman wondered as both of them left the room and made their way into hall way.

The walk only took about thirty seconds before they finally made it outside. Other students were already waiting as the last of the mages made their way to the center.

"Hm, I wonder what's taking so long..?" The mages wondered as they noticed the lack of instructors in the area.

For Natsu, he just layed down on the floor completely bored seeing that since the instructor wasn't exactly present. He couldn't do anything. Besides what could he possibly do to pass the time? its not like someone is just gonna challenge him to a fight or anything.

"Hey, watch out!" As if on queue, a blast of energy crashed to where Natsu was laying and covered that area in dust and dirt. The group were surprised seeing that their companion was seemingly targeted and attacked. After the dust settled, they looked upon the area to see an extremely pissed off pinkette. Emerging from the smoke, his eye glowed red in anger as the students began to shiver.

"Who blasted me!" He shouted angrily as he glared at them. They were extremely scared because out of anyone they could have hit it had to be the "Salamander." and two they know how he could be when he gets into his mood. Before he could try to roast them, one of the scared students came up.

"Were extremely sorry! We didn't mean to hit you with that!" A female student bowed her head.

"Yeah what she said! We didn't mean to attack you!" A male followed up.

As much as Natsu wanted to turn them into a crisp, he looked and saw the expressions of the group. Wendy, Lisanna, Levy, Elfman, Jet and Droy had expressions that meant "Forgive them." Meanwhile Gray just looked away uncaring of the situation transpiring. Seeing his friends looks, Natsu just sighed before looking at the two people.

"It's not worth it..." He spoke as the two just paused.

"What?" Both of them questioned as Natsu looked them before turning around. "Honestly I'm so angry right now at the attack but since you guys didn't mean to hit me... then your good." The two other mages were completely dumbfounded at the situation they were put in.

They were certain that Natsu wanted to blast them away but judging from his expression he had a reason to hold back. They didn't know the reason nor did they care. All that mattered was getting away and not doing that again.

The two mages then quickly went off back to their group as Natsu turned around and faced them. The others had looks of relief seeing that their friend was at least able to control his temper.

...

"Well now that that's over how about we just sit back down and just talk for the time being?" Lisanna suggested as everyone else said nothing but slowly nodded their heads in agreement. With that settled it seemed like the previous incident never happened. While the group were busy talking about things, a certain topic was brought up.

"So... does anyone have any plans for the festival?" Lisanna asked as the others just looked at each other before looking back at her.

"I'm planning on going to bazaar to check out some rare books." Levy spoke. Levy's ever growing hunger for knowledge never ceased to amaze them.

"I'm planning on joining a contest for a magic show." Gray spoke.

"I don't have any plans at the moment." Natsu said as Wendy looked at him, surprised. She would have thought that he had plans. but judging from his expression she could tell he was serious.

"Well we can't have that, now can we Natsu?" Lisanna spoke as an idea came into her mind. She look over to Wendy and asked her.

"Um Wendy, I have to ask... Are you going to be busy during the festival by any chance?" Lisanna had to ask seeing that Natsu didn't really have thing to do she figured that she should at least check Wendy. Wendy simply shook her head as Lisanna then thought of something.

"I know! How about we go to the festival as a group, that way no one feels left out." This idea would work out for the best. Besides if there's anything Lisanna hates more, It's her friends being left out of fun events.

Wendy was kind of shocked at the idea. Even though going to events were not really her thing, with events always being crowded and such. It would be better for them to go as a group that way everyone gets to at least enjoy themselves. Before anybody could say anything a loud voice rang out through the place.

"Alright everyone, It's time to begin class." A man spoke as he stepped forward with a clipboard in hand. "But before we get started with class I'm bringing some assistants. You may introduce yourselves now." He motioned his hand as two mages walked out in front of the entire class. The blood drained from their face at the familiar mages that stood before them. Out of all people to show up it had to be those two.

The first mage to show up was a girl with scarlet hair draped below her shoulders, a skin tight outfit the revealed her curves, and what appeared to be a sword in her arms. This person was one of the most feared mages to ever attend the academy. Erza Scarlet the powerful Titania.

And the second person was a girl with beautiful white hair that most people could only describe as snow. She appeared to be wearing a skin tight outfit like Erza but the difference was that she resembled a delinquent. Mirajane Strauss the Demon.

Just these two people alone made the student body tremble in fear. And it made perfect sense since anybody who would dare try to rebel or appose them in anyway would suffer a terrible fate. Well, those are merely just rumors. But there was no denying that with the return of the twin empresses things were going to change.

Natsu didn't really take the two coming back to the academy well. Well mainly due to Erza and Mirajane punishing him every time he did something stupid or reckless.

Just what did he do to get on their bad side?

No one knows...

"This is bad. Erza and Mira are back." Gray spoke as sweat began to drip from his face.

"Ugh, I hope that they wont force us to do any extreme stuff." Jet spoke shakily.

"We can only hope..." Cana spoke silently as Erza and Mirajane looked over to their little group. Before anything else, the instructor called both mages.

Afterwards he looked over to both Elfman and Natsu before calling them out.

"Dragneel and Strauss, come forward!" He said pointing towards the two. Natsu and Elfman then began walking as they both were a few feet away from each other. "I wonder what's going on?" The taller mage spoke as the pinkette could only wonder.

"Now just to make this very clear, before we start class I want you two mages to compete in a new challenge we have created." This intrigued both mages as question marks appeared on their heads.

"This challenge will test the aptitude of the students. So that's why we want you two to test it." The instructor explained as Natsu then smirked.

"Really, if that was all then bring it on." He said as his blood pumped in excitement. Elfman as well braced himself seeing that two obelisk had appeared on their opposite sides. One of said obelisks glowed red signifying the magic reading of Natsu's magic. while the other merely glowed brown signifying Elfman's magic reading.

"Now let me explain how this challenge will work." Natsu and Elfman both looked intently as the instructor began to clear his throat.

"The rules are really simple. All you must do is score points by hitting this little orb into the obelisk. Also I must mention that there is a time limit of five minutes for this challenge. But as a little handicap you will be allowed to use your magic to disrupt your opponents in any way, shape, or form." This made it easier for the two since they still haven't really settled on who has more wins.

"Now without further ado, let the challenge begin." The little orb then appeared in the center as both mages then ran to obtain it. Elfman just waited patiently as Natsu then ran to the brown obelisk and tried to throw the orb in before Elfman deflected it with his arm.

Natsu noticed the outline as he saw that Elfman arm was covered in what appeared to be orange fur and saw that his hand was replaced with sharp claws.

"Beast Soul: Were Tiger!" Elfman spoke as he then grabbed the next orb and made his way trying to out maneuver all of Natsu's incoming attacks. He quickly sidestepped out of the way in time as Natsu unleashed his signature roar which if he had been a second slower would have burned him to a crisp.

"Tch!" Natsu clicked his tongue in irritation but quickly met up with Elfman as he then kicked the orb out of his hands and them made a dash for it. The other students could only watch as the two continued to battle it out while throwing their strongest attack and maneuvers to keep each other from making ends meet.

Both mages began to pant seeing that neither were budging an inch. Lisanna could tell that her brother and Natsu were having what they call their 'Past time' in which both of them would basically be doing their hardest to push each other past the limit line.

"Man those two aren't even giving the other an inch..." One male student spoke as another person spoke in response.

"Yeah no kidding, but if I had to vote on who would win then I would have to say Natsu has it." This time a girl spoke as the group were kind of having mixed feelings. Well not everyone. Gray honestly couldn't give a shit about Natsu but with Elfman he rooted for him instead.

Of course Wendy and Lisanna cheered for the pinkette and the rest was up to debate.

...

...

The challenge lasted five minutes as Natsu stood somewhat tired. Even though the challenge was short, he felt that he was out of breath. It seemed like that challenge was an equivalent to the testing chamber they had installed in the old building.

Wendy went over to his side as she began to restore his strength while Lisanna was wiping off the dust from Elfman's face. This took about a few minutes until he flexed his arm feeling fully energized.

"Thanks Wendy, I really appreciate your help." Natsu thanked her as she turned away before replying back.

"N-no problem..." She shyly replied back. This confused him but before he could ask the instructors voice boomed out.

"Okay now before you brats leave today I'm going to have two of you fight these two mages in a tag match." The instructor explained as he looked over to the group and pointed his finger to Natsu as the pinkette looked up from his conversation with Elfman and stood up in anticipation.

"Dragneel, your up. Get to the center." The teacher spoke as Natsu made his way to the center field. The teacher then looked over to the blonde who was looking at the red head and pointed to her.

"Blondy, what is your name?" He asked as Lucy got up and tensed up.

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia." She spoke out loud enough for the teacher to hear.

"Okay then miss Heartfilia, go to the center field where Dragneel is and wait for further instruction."

Lucy made her way to the center field as Natsu was busy stretching his body. He then looked over to her before looking at the white haired girl who on the other hand was cracking her fist and licked her lips at the blonde, having a potential new punching bag to use.

"Without any interruptions, let this match between teachers and students begin."


A/N and that's about it for this chapter. I got my drive again to start writing again after having so many ideas to potentially use. Also to let you all know that most of the reason why I'm writing the setting like this is because of one thing... and that is most of stories on here are exactly the same as the anime but with different plots and stuff that people already used.

That's why this story will be different altogether in terms of setting and personality.

Some characters will be changed according to match the bios that I have written on my profile page. I will also be making corrections on certain bios to make them somewhat more intriguing.

If you have any OCs that you want introduced in the story then please let me know by PM.

But enough of me chatting. It's time move onwards with this tale.

Like? Favourite? Leave a review? And I'll see you all next time.

Next time on Fairy Tail: Draconic Legacy, Teacher vs Student.

The Blazing Sky Dragon King flaring out...
