Lucy looked at me with a very strange look on her face, as if she couldn't believe what I was trying to say. She then asked me, "I'm sorry. What were you trying to say again?" I looked at her, scratching my head as if she was crazy, also considering the fact that I said it to her rather clearly, so I repeated to her, with an even clearer tone, "What are guilds exactly? Just need to fact check what I already know to make sure it was actually correct." Lucy sighed and decided to very simply explain about guilds, without going too deep into the explanation.
As she laid back onto her seat, satisfied by her short explanation, I thanked her as I had managed to pin their similarities to clubs from the academy, although heavily scaled up and more lively and happy. As Lucy flipped through the magazine she was reading, I happened to peep in at somewhat the most convenient time, as she was reading about guilds. I then read regarding the few guilds that were being talked about in the magazine, namely Fairy Tail, Phantom Lord and Sabertooth. It was that moment that something ticked within me.
I had seen the name 'Fairy Tail' in the academy, and I was pretty damned sure it was that one anime I had decided to watch a little of while waiting for Elise Cyanis at the front gate of the academy for our outing together, or 'date' if that's what you were going to call it. I then had placed my bets that I was surely in the events of the first episode, and the bad thing about me was that I had only managed to watch so little, only up until a few arcs in, and even that my memory of was blurry. There was definitely no way to deny where I finally realized I was in.
Fiore, the land where magic exists and was normal to everyone. I definitely wasn't anywhere near the academy, nor was I probably on my own planet. I had been reading the plots on the wiki so I had silently hoped that whatever I had read would help me with my Gamer ability to survive this magic-filled planet, and I left my thoughts at that. When I was back to my senses, suddenly some figure popped out from the bushes to the right of where Lucy was sitting, as she was reading about one of the Fairy Tail members, presumably Mirajane from the silhouette.
Then Lucy and I were able to make out the silhouette as the same Salamander mage from earlier who had charmed a lot of fan-girls into watching him, including Lucy, until Natsu bumped into him, and the crowd was indirectly freed from the charm. Lucy looked at him with a crossed face, presumably mad from earlier, and she silently clenched her fist, similar to earlier, and the mage told her, "Fairy Tail? Seriously, I belong to that guild! I can help you to join our guild. I can also ask the master to let you join the guild."
She looked at him in awe and surprise as he continued with his sentence, "Just come to my party on my boat that will be held tonight. The only condition is that you cannot tell anybody else about the Charm Magic that I did earlier. Even you, other kiddo." Yeah, I definitely was reminded on who this Salamander mage was in the series. Bora the Prominence, who was definitely not a mage of Fairy Tail. And if I were not mistaken, Natsu was the one who had managed to defeat him in the anime. I shrugged, deciding to go with the flow.
The only other reason I had decided to follow the flow, was because if I had reacted to it like I knew it all along, Bora would be rather odd, and probably defeated, whereas Lucy would look at me strangely, wondering why the hell I knew about it, yet decided not to bring up about his 'not being in Fairy Tail' thing until now. So, Bora, or the Salamander as for now he's called, backed into the bushes and suddenly disappeared, leaving me and Lucy speechless as to how the actual hell he disappeared into the bushes when he only had fire magic.
Lucy then secretly told herself, which I managed to actually hear, "Hehe. I finally have a chance to join Fairy Tail. I just have to not tell anyone about Charm until I finally join the guild in the end." I chuckled an unheard laugh, sighing in relief that Lucy did not hear my laugh, as she asked me, "So, do you want to accompany me to the boat party tonight?" Sure, or not. Probably as her bodyguard of everything. I then nodded to her, as she told me, "Let's go to my place. I need to change into a fancy dress, as it's getting late now. I don't want to be late after all."
I shrugged, as we decided to head to her place. Even though it was quite in the afternoon, I assumed that she decided to go early because her home may have been pretty far away and she probably did not have a mode of transport, judging from the fact that she had been walking around the whole day, and showing signs of tiredness when we were at the restaurant. I, however, decided not to question the situation, considering and assuming that she wouldn't be one to talk about her tiredness.
When we had arrived at her home, which was definitely something that looked like a small apartment, I had decided to take a look around the small apartment building whereas Lucy decided to go take a shower and get a new change if clothes for the night occasion. I had almost forgotten what her apartment actually looked like in the anime, but seeing it in first person was actually interesting. I made a mental note to myself to praise Lucy for the cleanliness of her home, and knowing that it would be a bad idea to accidentally see what I shouldn't be seeing, I took a seat in the living room.
A few minutes later, and a successful search around to find my smartphone which was at full battery, which I had then put into my Inventory, Lucy finally got out of the shower, and finally had gotten a new change of clothes, a rather lovely red dress, which had admired her for, to which she blushed at, and she asked me, "You've been waiting here all this time?" I decided to think of a witty pickup line or something along the lines of that, and I replied, "I should be. I should be accompanying my princess at all times, you know."
Her face then immediately many shades pink and red, and laughed a little, before telling me, "Come on. Let's go. We don't want to be late." I suddenly felt so much irony as we left the area, and headed to the dock where the boat was located. I would have to protect her until Natsu came if Bora decided to do the actual anime events. As we headed towards the area, I had suddenly panned over to my thoughts about the phone. It was surprising that my phone was there, even if I had remembered putting it in my pockets after I showered this morning.
I shrugged, putting away those thoughts, as we somehow had arrived at the dock. Weird, I thought to myself. Maybe thinking about something else does make you faster. I decided to use the cloak I had in my inventory and I muttered both, 'Inventory', and, 'Equipment', silently, as two status windows opened in front of me as I switched over the cloak's location from the one of the Inventory slots into the second of my four accessory slots as the cloak suddenly appeared on my back. Two other status windows also appeared.
From equipping a cloak of the aforementioned skill, your Fire Resistance has increased by 5%.
From equipping a cloak of the aforementioned ability, your Fire Attacks now cause 300% more damage.
I then noticed Lucy looking at me in surprise, as she noticed the cloak on my back, as she asked me, "Umm...Xenos, where did you get that?" I then whispered to her to hope nobody else heard me, "It was something the mages who attacked you had dropped. I decided to keep it, hoping it may do something. And it has." She looked at me, confused at how the mage dropped the cloak in the first place, but she shrugged it off as I accompanied her onto the boat. Lucy then decided to go speak with Salamander, whilst I decided to wait outside.
As I was waiting for Lucy, and technically for the plot to progress, I decided to fiddle around with my phone that I had thrown into my inventory a few minutes earlier, as I silently muttered to myself, 'Inventory', to which it opened, until I suddenly heard a loud scream coming from the inside. This was without a doubt, Lucy, as Bora had tried to make her one of his slaves. I then took advantage of the fact that I had my Inventory window open, and I took out my Wooden Sword and immediately closed the window before barging in through the door.
As Lucy looked at me, shocked, Bora told his guards to attack me, whereas I, with my Wooden Sword in hand, began to rapidly slash at my enemies, keeping my usage of Power Strike to a minimum to ensure that I wouldn't be using much mana. Then again, I'd just have to fend off against the guards until Natsu and Happy arrived, then I'll be the one to grab Lucy's keys. I then decided to try off the 2 new skills I had recently gained as I then kind-of chanted, 'Fireball!' as a fireball came out of my right hand, the one with the ring, and hit Bora in the face.
I then took the chance I had to Observe the now-recovering Bora, as I had then noticed it wasn't telling me it was Bora.
'Salamander'
HP : ?
MP : ?
- A fire mage. Very untrustworthy.
I sweat-dropped as I read the description whilst I was fighting against his bodyguards, and then I heard as if somebody was charging into the battle, which I had then assumedly identified as Natsu and Happy charging in to fight Bora. I then stepped back as Natsu then charged into battle along with Happy. I decided to close whatever remaining status windows I had.
Your fireball skill has leveled up by 2! Damage increased by 20%!
You have leveled up by 2! You have gained 10 skill points!
Your sword has leveled up by 2! +10% damage!
I gasped at that second last status window. I somehow managed to gain myself two levels merely just by doing that fighting. I then knew that I was merely just a low level, so it would make sense, and I knew that the more I leveled up, the more EXP I would require to level up my own character. I closed the windows left, and I screamed to Lucy, "Hang on! I'll grab the keys!" I then jumped into the water as I swam to one of the rocky bays nearby. I managed to catch a glimpse of Lucy being grabbed by Happy and taken to the shore.
Once I had arrived to where I needed to be, I was surprised that I could still hear the fighting, even from far away. I was also surprised that I had enough stamina to swim all the way here. I assumed it was because of the fact that I had managed to increase the points on my Dexterity and Vitality stats and the fact that I had somehow gained a new skill while swimming, Swimming (duh), which allowed me to use less stamina in swimming and underwater combat. I had also somehow managed to level it up to 5, and my Observe skill was leveled up to 8 as I was continuously Observing to make sure there were no sharks.
I then looked around the small island for the keys that had been thrown by Bora, as I managed to grab my hands on something which I felt like metal. I then smiled as luck was on my side, and I immediately took out of the ocean, making my eyes shine as I figured out that this key belonged to Aquarius, the Waterbearer. I also remembered that at this particular moment, when Lucy did summon her, she washed her away along with the boat, as she was, if I was not mistaken, with her boyfriend of sorts. I then decided to do the insane.
I then grabbed the key and held it out in a similar fashion to how Lucy would summon her spirits, and I screamed an entirely different chant, deciding to just try it, "I call upon you! Zodiac and Spirit of the Waterbearer, Aquarius!" As a bright light suddenly radiated from the golden key I was holding with the symbol of Aquarius, I covered my eyes as the light began to die out. What I saw in front was the Waterbearer, Aquarius. I then asked her for help, but before that decided to apologize to her if I had caused her any inconveniences.
"I'm sorry, Zodiac Aquarius, if I was causing any inconveniences to you, and the fact that I am not Lucy Heartfilia, your Spirit Wielder, I request great help from you at the moment. Your master is in danger, and although she has help, the one helping is in great danger. All I request is just to wash the boat over to the surface. I am sorry if I had really disturbed any of your current plans." She looked at me, and she told me, "So you must be Xenos Skylark, The Gamer I've heard of." I looked at her in surprise, and asked her, "The Gamer?"
Aquarius then told me, "There was a legend, about a man who would change Earthland as everyone knew it. A man, who came from another world, who was born with abilities unknown to magic of Earthland. He was called, The Gamer. I can sense that you are The Gamer, for you don't have the aura other Celestial Spirit mages have, yet you can summon me easily." It was then I realized a very odd truth; I was somewhat a legend. I then shrugged the thoughts aside, as she then told me, "I remember what you told me earlier. Just tell Lucy that I'll be busy, with my boyfriend."
I nodded, and she chanted some sort of spell I wasn't able to understand, and a few waves appeared behind the boat, large waves to add to that fact, as she smiled and disappeared, and a few waves appeared behind me. I feared that I would be washed similarly to the shore as Lucy had done. However, the waves seemed to carry me in top of them, as if in a graceful manner. I silently told the waves, as if they would hear me, "Thank you, Aquarius. I will not fail the expectations I have been set."
As I arrived onto the shore, I waved to the waves as a status window popped up in front of me that I realized should have appeared earlier, when I had summoned Aquarius. As I read it, I then realized that I had learned a new branch of magic.
From summoning a Celestial Spirit, you have gained a new skill, Celestial Spirit Summoning.
I smiled to myself, as I rushed over to where the boat was. I then witnessed something that was sort of like a climax in the first episode, Natsu's revealing that he is a Fairy Tail mage, surprising both Lucy and Bora, which accidentally causes Bora's crewmates to accidentally expose his own identity. As I finally caught up to Lucy, I panted a little and closed the status window as I handed over the key ring to Lucy, informing to her about Aquarius' state. She looked at me, shocked that I was somehow able to even summon a Celestial Spirit, much less Aquarius.
As Natsu then charged up his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, I then decided to sit back, as Happy began to explain to Lucy about Natsu's specialty Magic, me not bothering to listen because I already knew. I then embraced myself, when Natsu then screamed out his chant, and I held on as the force produced from his punch threatened to blast me away. As I kept my eyes peeled, the smoke faded, and I was finally given a chance to witness the destruction first-hand. I gasped in awe as I looked at how much Natsu actually destroyed.
I then heard footsteps approaching as I heard Natsu ask, "So what? Do you want to join Fairy Tail or not?" We looked at him, eyes full of stars as we nodded. Natsu then screamed, "Follow me then!" as we decided to follow after him, hoping he would finally lead us to Fairy Tail.
You are now undergoing a status revamp.

Author's Note #1: I have a reason for those last two lines. The reason why I actually did that was because I wanted to switch over from an old stat format to a new set of algorithms I have used. So, it was best that I used a sort-of transition message to alert.
