Chapter 12: Journal and S-class exam

Fairy Tail guild

Everyone was in Fairy Tail waiting for the Makarov to announce the S-class exam candidates. Up on the stage where the Makarov is stood Lisanna next to Natsu, Erza next to Gildarts, Natsu and Gildarts stood next to Makarov.

"And now the announcement of the participants in the S-class wizard exams trial and the venue for this year's trial is on Tenrou Island the holy grounds. There will be 8 participants, strength…heart…soul… I've been watching for each of these things this past year this year participants are Alzack Connell, Gray Fullbuster, Juvia Lockser, Elfman Strauss, Cana Alberona, Fried Justine, Levy Mcgarden, and Mest Gryder." Makarov said.

"I can't believe I made it." Alzack said hugging Bisca who was blushing. "To be a real man he must take the S-class trials!" Elfman yelled. "It's about time I get pick." Gray said to Cana who said nothing.

"I can't I believe I was chosen again." Mest said chewing on a table as everyone around him sweat drop. "Juvia will work hard to become S-class for Gray." Juvia said. "I should be the one to take Laxus place." Fried said to the Thunder Legion.

"Now may I continue; this time only one will be selected to pass among them, so get into your best condition within one week's time, now since there are some newbies I'll explain the rules." Makarov said as he started to explain the rules. After he explains the rules everyone went back to during missions or hanging out at the guild. Natsu was going to go where Mirajane, till Makarov called his name.

"What do you want gramps?" Natsu asked. Makarov pulled out something from his cape ad hand it to Natsu whom took the book and looked at it with confusion. "It the first journal, I found it when I was cleaning my office." Makarov said as Natsu thank him and went over to Mirajane. "Mirajane can you come with me to my house, it's really important." Natsu said grabbing Mirajane hand and running out of the guild.

Natsu house

"So what do you need me for?" Mirajane asked siting on Natsu couch next Natsu. "Makarov give me the journal of the founder of Fairy Tail." Natsu said surprising Mirajane. "I want you to read it with me." Natsu said opening the journal as they both started to read. They read the pages of Mavis journal and were shock to see what was written in this journal. 1 hour has past and now they are reading an interesting page involving the disappearance of her missing child.

March 23 x582 Mavis pov

I came back from the forest of Magnolia crying. I can't believe I have to give Natsu but I believe he will be safe in future. I just wish Zeref was here he will know what to do. Journal I'm going to use you as a letter to anyone who reads this journal give it to Natsu Vermilion if ever does join Fairy Tail.

Dear Natsu

I'm sorry I give you up, but the Zeref followers won't leave me alone; I have to keep defending you from them. The only way for you to be safe is to put you in FAIRY SPHERE to keep you safe until someone finds you I hope you could forgive me. Please Natsu eat right, don't be picky with your food, find good friends, be a nice person like your father, I be a sneaky person like me, and find a nice, sweet, gentle girl to love and care for.

From Mavis

P.S. I love you my beautiful pink-haired son

P.P.S I don't know where you got the pink-haired from, but I think it's from my grandpa; my mother told me stories how people made fun of him for having pink-haired.

After that the 2 stop reading and Mirajane looks at Natsu who seems to have mixed emotions. "Natsu…" Mirajane started but was interrupted when Natsu hugged her.

"Mirajane I finally know who my mother is." Natsu said crying tears of joy. "Natsu it great that you found out who your mother is, but you do realize who the father is right I mean she did give us a clue if who he is." Mirajane said as Natsu remembers his dream in Edolas and when she said how she wish Zeref is here that proves Zeref is the father more precisely his father. Natsu fainted knowing his father is dark mage and the last thing he saw was Mirajane looking at him with a worry look.

The next day

Natsu groan as his eyes open. "What happen?" Natsu then started to smell food, so he got up and walked to the kitchen. He got to see happy eating fish and Mirajane preparing food. "Good morning Natsu!" Happy exclaimed as Mirajane turn her head to see Natsu and smile.

"Good morning sweaty." Mirajane said as Natsu raise a brow. "Um…good morning Mira um…do you know what happen last night?" Natsu asked as Mirajane set a plate of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. "You blacked out so I took you to bed; Natsu are you worry about who your parents?" Mirajane asked.

"No I think it's cool to have a parent who's the founder of Fairy Tail." Natsu stated as Mirajane raise one brow. "What about your father?" Mirajane asked as Natsu glared out his food. "Zeref is not my father; he's just a dark mage who happens to married my mother." Natsu spat Zeref name shocking Mirajane, but Happy who was confused of what's happening. "Natsu he's your father." Mirajane said as Natsu grunted. "I don't care." Natsu said as he continues eating.

1 week later

Everyone was on a ship heading to Tenrou Island for the S-class exams. The partners of participants are Alzack and Bisca, Freed and Bixlow, Elfman and Evergreen, Gray and Loke, Cana and Lucy, Levy and Gajeel, Juvia and Lisanna, and Mest and Wendy. Everyone saw Makarov and Mirajane on the top deck.

"We're here everybody!" Mirajane exclaimed surprising everyone. "Mira-nee what are you doing here?" Elfman asked as Mirajane smiles. "I just want to visit Tenrou Island and to see who the winner of the exams." Mirajane stated as Makarov cough. "Well, since we got that out of the way…" Makarov started as everyone was giving their attention to him. "Tenrou Island; it says that fairies use to live on this island and Fairy Tail first master Mavis Vermilion resides." Makarov said as Gray shouted something about his outfit.

"Anyway, I will explain the first rule of the exams; you see the smoke coming from the Island, I want you to head their; there are eight paths there, only one group can enter each path and here's what waits for you behind each path. Only teams that get through this will clear the first exam!" Makarov explained showing them pictures of the routes which some have Gildarts, Erza and Natsu faces making everyone less confident.

"In the "battle" route, two teams will meet up, and only the winning team will be able to proceed, in the "hard" battles are very difficult routes where you will have to defeat an S-rank mage in order to proceed, and "quiet" route is the route where you can proceed through the exam without having to fight anyone, your goals in the first exam are "power" and "luck"!" Makarov exclaimed as everyone questioned luck. "Now let's begin the exam!" Makarov yelled as everyone started to use whatever magic to slow the other participates.

Someone on Tenrou Island

Natsu and Happy was in front of Mavis Vermilion grave. "You know I still doubt you're my mother, but if you are then I love you and I understand why you give me up." Natsu said walking with Happy. Unknown to him a blonde women appear with a smile before disappearing.
