Nothing much happened after that, though one thing did suprise Kroenen.
That is he or more specifically him disguised as a girl won the Miss Fairy Tail contest which he doesn't remember entering.
One day the guild master showed up and told him give the prize money to his girlfriend, Kroenen was of course shocked at that time but he accepted the money anyway even though not knowing how he won a competition he never enlisted.
He looked at the notice board and there it was, on the first place is written Kroenen's girlfriend.
Since he has never given his name they just wrote it down as Kroenen's girlfriend.
Kroenen saw Lucy on the corner crying about rent money.
He just ignored it as it has nothing...well a little? To do with him.
He then sees Erza rushing pass dressed beautifully and Gajeel also dressed like they're about to attend something important.
Anyway not that he cared as he searched for any jobs that might interest him, he found nothing.
So he heads home and continue on his research, he last research topic yelleded him two potions in making diamon tip blade.
First is a short term plan, that is to find a diamond then turn it into a powder then stick them to his blades, this is costly as each time he gives a blade a diamond edge he'll have to destroy a diamond.
The second is a long term one, that is to make artifical diamonds but he'll have make all the equipment from scratch and that would take up a lot of time and money, way more money then the cost of a diamond.
He choosed the second option as he'll be making diamonds, even if he doesn't use it to put a diamond tip on blades he can still sell diamonds.
Now his second research focuse is making tungsten carbide, tungsten carbide is one for the toughest materials he knows but it is also very brittle.
He'll use it on making knifes, daggers and the edges of his swords and if he just adds a diamond edge to them that would be near perfect.
He will now have swords that can literally cut diamonds without resorting to magic.
Different metals have different properties like steel is strong and heavy, titanium is kind of strong and light, tungsten is very heavy and very strong but brittle.
Different types of blade have different requirements also different types of fighting style will different type of blade.
There is no such thing as a sword that is good at everything and there is no such thing as the one perfect fighting style that is good against every other fighting style.
Every thing has pros and cons of it's own, it's like rock paper sicssors only much more complicated.
The more divers types of blade he has, the more choices he has on the battle field and as the old saying goes know one's self know one's enemies, fight a hundred battles win a hundred battles.
He heads home to begin his construction of his diamond making machine and begin research on tungsten.
It took a few day and he made some real progress but still from completion. he dicided to go to the guild and see if there any new jobs that is worth his time.
Though he is still fine with the money he has but not for much longer as making the complex machines recuired to make cost a lot.
He went to the guild only to discover it is in utter chaos.
When he stepped through the door he saw Gray trying to fly, Mira rivalling Erza who is rivalling a pilar and Cana is rivaling Makarov who is rivaling a barrel.
He stared at the sence for a while before thinking 'yeah, I'm not getting involve in this mess'
He steps back out the door ignoring the insanity happening in the guild.
He went back to his home and continued on his work.
A few days later the equipment for making tungsten carbide is complete, though it could use a little bit more work as the quality of the goods produced still has a lot of impurities in it.
Anyway now he is back in the red.
He heads to the guild looking for a job.
As he steped through the door Erza sees him and told him that they were just about to look for him.
Appearntly Natsu found a job.
'well right on time' Kroenen thought as he nodded.
Soon he discovered himself serving customers in a restauran called 8 islands.
'this is beneath me' Kroenen complianed but again it pay kind of nice...well not that nice but still great for pocket change, as he was complaining an idea pops in to his head.
He heads to the heads out for a bit and goes to a place people is around, there he summons his droid.
He takes off his waiter uniform and gives it to the droid while he puts on a white dress.
He then lets the droid work in his stead while he runs off to do his thing.
But then he remembers how hard it was to find the droid the last time he sets it free and how it accepted joining in the parade that he has no interest in.
'on second thought maybe I shouldn't leave him alone' he thought as he heads to 8 islands restaurant.
He steps in to the and was greeted by Lucy.
"welco...wait Your Kroenen's girlfriend right?" Lucy was of course was shocked as she didn't expect to see Kroenen's girlfriend here.
"please, the name is Karla. nice to meet you" Kroenen replied
"why are you here if I may ask?" Lucy asked curious as to why 'she' was here.
"I'm came here as a customer and to observe Kroenen work of course" Kroenen feels strange calling his droid with his name.
Kroenen then heads to an empty table and sat down, he ordered a cup of tea as he watched the droid work.
Kroenen used this as field test to see how it perfroms interacting with other people, he then took out a peice of paper and began writing down his observation.
Natsu and Lucy seems to be whipering about something as they kept looking towards the droid and him.
Erza just stares at him as if thinking about something.
Gray suddenly blushed and quickly puttes on some clothes, standing naked infront a beauty is very embarrasing.
Lucy then dispaires about not being considered a beauty as Gray is always stripping right in front of her.
Happy the said "she likesss him"
Lucy them told the cat "shut it cat!"
Later
Lucy as she passing by glaced at what Kroenen was writing but the writing looked elegant and beautiful but she couldn't understand what 'she' is writing about.
Kroenen of course is writing in german so there is noway for Lucy to understand it.
At the end of the day Kroenen told the droid to 'send her off', he walked to an isolated street corner and unsummon the droid and puts on the waiter's clothes then he heads back as if nothing happened.
Once 'she' left the rest of the team started to bombard him with questions and naturally he ignored their question.
Then they went to the cliant to recived their payment, the cliant was a former council member who stepped down shortly after the Jellal incident.
He then warns them or more specifically Natsu and Gray as they are the ones that cauese the most mess around, he warns them that the new council will be quite different from the last.
He told them that he is not there to protect Fairy Tail anymore and they should watch their back.
A few days later.
Mira is now explaining to them how the command structures of the dark guilds.
Kroenen of course already knows all of this as he himself has a contingency plant to join a dark guild in case Fairy Tail doesn't work out so he ignores most of it, then the guild master finally comes back from the meeting.
He told them that they are to destroy the dark guild Oracion Seis, one of the major players in the under world.
Hearing Mirajane is just explaining this to everyone and Makarov just arrive at the right time to tell them that they are figthing Oracion Seis, Kroenen immdeately became eyes wide.
'seems that the gears of fate started ticking again' he thought as he began to notice these coincidences has a patteren to them. like a warning to those observant enough to notice them.
It's a warning to prepare themselves for the on coming storm because like a force of nature it can't be stopped and would wash away those caught unprepared.
Makarov then said that they will be part of a coalition guilds attacking them, their allies is Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale and Cait Shelter.
While this sounds good in paper with all their numbers but Kroenen on the other hand expected this won't be that easy as he had noticed fate's subtle hints warning him.
He would be a fool to not take it seriously not after all he has been through.
'ignorace is bliss' thought Kroenen seeing how relaxed his guild mates are, he then looks at Cana the guild fortune teller ti see if she noticed anything.
And she doesn't noticed anything.
'maybe I would be sutable telling the future than her' Kroenen thought seeing the fortune teller didn't see fate's hands that orchestrated all the major events right around Lucy joins the guild.
First is Eisenwald, Second is Galuna Island, Third is the Phantom Lord, Fourth is the Tower of Heaven and then the recent Laxus's rebelion. All of these events could have potentialy heavily damaged the guild and the scale of their magnatude is getting bigger each time it happens.
While Laxus's rebelion might seemed a step down but it isn't as it resulted in the banishment of Laxus weakening Fairy Tail.
In a sense Laxus's rebelion is the most devastating of them all as it actually resulted in permanently damaging the guild because out of all those disasters, only Laxus's rebelion actually succeded in damaging the guild permanently while the rest of those desaters only resulted in temporary damage.
Judging by the looks of things this won't be as easy as everyone thinks and even if the survive this the next disaster would be on an even larger scale.
Things looks grim and fortunately Kroenen still has a lot of trump cards he has yet to play.
Kroenen of course already knows that he will be part the team Fairy Tail would send in as always he would be dragged for one reason or another there even if he didn't want to and he would arrive there safely.
Later.
'I called it' he thought as he is now on his way to meet up with the allied forces.
He ignores his guild mates chatter as he sharpens his brand new recently made tonfa blades, it's still made with carbon steel as he still hasn't perfected his using tungsten carbide.
While titanium is great but it's lighter meaning less impact when he hit something.
He still remembers his old one getting destroyed against some pink hair swordsman.
Anyway they arrived at the meeting place.
Soon they arrives to meet a bunch of playboy weirdoes, just like Loki.
'so this is where he gets it' Kroenen thought as he remembers how Loki acted.
Seeing their antics Kroenen leaves the socializing to Erza as she is the leader of the team after all, so it's her responsibility to do the talking.
Kroenen just moves to the back and ignored them as he doesn't like interacting with them... Well Kroenen doesn't like interacting with anybody at all.
Kroenen did know what the short guy did but Erza sent him flying with one punch, the short guy was catched by...Gray's friend called...ah yess, that guy is called Lyon.
That Lyon caught the short guy by his head and freezes it before throwing it away, this action of course earned the hate of the weirdos from Blue Pegasus.
He claimes to be from Lamia Scale along with the... twin tailed girl? Well not twin tailed anymore as she changed her hair style, she was called... Sharry was it.
Anyway the situation is tense because of all these abnormal people around, fights are about to break off.
But then a muscular bald guy called Jura comes in and defuses the situation.
Then a little girl seemingly rushes in but sliped and falls down to the floor, she claimed to be from the guild Cait Shelter and her name is Wendy.
'It seems that they sent in a token force or is she actually some super powerful wizard in the form of a child' thought Kroenen and noted a few peculiarities about her.
