Chapter 3-The Council:
"Hmm…ohh look at this, a request for a new guild" Warrod says surprised, he always loved seeing youngers taking initiative to start new guilds, it made him reminisce about the good old days…
"What new guild?" Levy McGarden asks, Warrod had being talking to himself so is surprised at the blunettes sudden appearance.
"Oh Miss McGarden you startled me!" he says, she smiled.
"Sorry sir"
"Never mind, never mind, it seems a young man called John Raven wishes to found a guild called…Raven Heart, it seems there is only three of them" Warrod flips through the information quickly not worried about most of it, except for the last page.
"Hmm it seems he has an interesting magic…but he seems uninformed, he's written in the Class section 'commoner' haha" Warrod laughs.
"He mustn't be aware that to be a guild master and found a mage guild you need at least one S class mage" Levy says.
"It appears so, well I'll had this over to the legal section of the council, but someone is going to have to go and see if he is an S class wizard...if not I'm afraid he can't found Raven Heart legally" Levy nods.
"Gajeel, Lily and I will check it out I'm sure he just got confused" Levy says.
"I'm sure, I'm sure" Warrod agrees.
"However if not, perhaps Gajeel as a former S class could, test him?" Warrod suggest Levy nods understanding.
"If I may say, you're very supportive of this new guild"
"While it isn't a guild yet, I applaud youth taking such initiative to found a guild with such small numbers, you don't see that anymore, why when Fairy Tail was founded there were only four of us!" Warrod laughs, his eyes suddenly going far away, Levy quickly changes the subject.
"I'll be off then"
"Yes, yes, be safe Miss McGarden!" he calls, she smiles and waves.
"We will!" she calls back leaving.
"Now where are Gajeel and Lily?" she mutters to herself, she finds the dragon slayer napping under a tree, Lily was in his 'cute' form as she thought of it eating kiwi happily.
"Gajeel!" she calls rousing him, he opens one red eye at the small girl standing over him.
"What is it shrimp?" he mumbles annoyed his nap was interrupted.
"You know you're not meant to nap on the job! And don't call me shrimp! Anyway we have a job" she says arms folded, Gajeel sighs sitting up.
"What is the assignment?" Lily inquires.
"There's a new guild that's popped up called Raven Heart, they've just sent in their application, they didn't add it the part about if they were an S class mage so we have to go check, Mr Warrod also asked if it's not the case, if you Gajeel could maybe test them?"
"Test them?"
"Yes, if the new master hasn't actually been tested to be S class, then you should do it"
"Really?" Gajeel got a sadistic smile plastered on his face and stands.
"Gihihi I can't wait!" he starts cackling.
"So who is the master of Raven Heart?" Lily asks ignoring his partner.
"His name is John Raven"
"What's his magic?" Gajeel asks, still excited, Levy tells him and Gajeel's smile fades.
"What?!"
John Raven was balancing on top of the roof, in only his pants and shoes, his coat and shirt were on the ground, and he was baking under the sun, he was grateful he was already tan enough to not get burnt by the sun. Dax was near him, also working on the roof, he had his own shirt wrapped around his head, Vanessa was inside just under them taking the old shingles from them and passing up the new ones. It was just past midday when two people showed up just outside and a flying cat was with them!
"Hello is this Raven Heart?!" a short blue haired girl called up to them. Dax and John shared a look, the sign was a bit obvious but John decided to be polite.
"Yes ma'am! We are" he called down, the girl looks slightly embarrassed despite being their age being called ma'am.
"We're looking for John Raven, you him?!" the man asked, even from the roof his piercings were obvious along with his jagged scars, it gave him an odd and intimidating look, his long black hair was spiky and he had a white coat handing off his shoulders.
"Who's asking?!" Dax called.
"Me" Gajeel says looking up at the two of them, the girl hits his arm, for being rude.
"We're from the council, my name is Levy McGarden and these are my partners Gajeel Redfox and Pantherlily!" she introduces, so the cat had a name. John and Dax share another look and climb down to them.
"Excuse us, we're just fixing the roof" John says holding out his hand to Levy first.
"I'm John Raven" he introduces, she shakes his hand with a happy smile, he holds it out to Gajeel the man practically crushes his hand but John doesn't make any sound or sign of discomfort.
"I'm Dax Durham" Dax says with a slightly nervous smile, he shakes Levy's hand and does the same to Gajeel, yelping when the man grasps his hand tightly.
"Sorry don't know my own strength" Gajeel says with a smirk Dax nods, holding his hand.
"Yeah" he says.
"Um hello" Vanessa says, coming out to them, she'd come down the stairs.
"Vanessa, these are people from the council, Levy McGarden, Gajeel Redfox and Pantherlily, this is our other member Vanessa Wild"
"A pleasure to meet you" Pantherlily says with a bow, Vanessa nearly falls over with his cuteness.
"Oh you're so cute!" she coos, Gajeel snorts, Levy smiles.
"When he's like this yeah" she agrees.
"Sorry but what are you?" Dax asks the talking cat with wings.
"I'm an exceed" he says, suddenly changing into his battle form.
"Do you prefer this?" he asks, his scar now more predominant on his face, including the sword that grew with him.
"No, no you're fine" Dax says shaking his head, Lily shrinks back down.
"You may call me Lily" he says, three head bobble in understanding.
"Well I'll get to business Mr Raven, we received you're request to found Raven Heart and there wasn't anything wrong except for one thing that we just have to clear up" Levy says.
"Call me John, and what's that?" he asks, he thought he'd done a good job with that paperwork.
"On the last page when it asked you're class it meant your class as a mage" Levy explains.
"Oh…okay that makes sense but I've never been tested for my magic level, none of us have" John says, Levy nods.
"I guessed that might have been the case, but not to worry that is partly why Gajeel is here with me, he'd going to test you"
"Test me?" John asks warily.
"Yep, if you pass by my standards, you'll become an S class mage meaning you get to found you're little guild and be master, if not than you can't have Raven Heart as a mage guild in the eyes of the law" John understands what he means, it would mean if they continued being a mage guild they'd be a Dark Guild, so he had to pass his test if not, it was over.
