This chapter will have the OCs participating in Sorcerer Weekly interviews and as such when the interviews are taking place, I will type them in the format in which it will be written in the magazine. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy!


November 1, X790

After a week of repairs, the restoration of Roseshade was finally complete and all of the Phoenix Dawn wizards were just lounging around in the guild hall.

"… Shouldn't we be looking for jobs now?" Flora asked.

Sakura was sitting at the table with Flora with her head lying right by her Exceed.

"I'm too exhausted to do anything." Sakura said.

"Have you two forgotten already?" Jason asked, sitting at her table and drinking out of a mug. "After putting an end to the Bladed Foxes, Sorcerer Weekly wants to come to the guild and interview us."

"Ooooh!" Sakura whined. "But I wanna rest!"

"What is it that you're drinking, Jason?" Flora asked.

"It's water." Jason answered.

"Really?" Flora questioned. "I thought you might be drinking ale."

"Just because I'm legal doesn't mean I HAVE to drink." Jason said.

"From what I've heard from Aqua, it sounds like you're the type of person who would drink their pain away." Flora said.

"Dammit, she told you?" Jason grumbled.

"Actually, I'm close to figuring out who your special girl is." Flora said.

"Ooh, tell me! Tell me!" Sakura said as she perked up from her fatigue.

"Don't encourage anyone!" Jason exclaimed, starting to become irritated.

"May I have your attention, please?" Blaise announced from the second floor. "The reporter from Sorcerer Weekly will be here in a few minutes. Is everyone present and accounted for?"

"I don't think Spiral's back yet!" Aura said as she raised her hand.

"Sorry I'm late!" Spiral shouted as he came bursting through the doors. "Did I miss it?!"

"No, you arrived just in time." Blaise answered. "When they get here, please be polite to them. We want to make a good impression. If they ask you any questions that might make you feel uncomfortable, just politely decline the question. Does anyone else have any questions?"

There was no response from anyone else in the guild hall. Suddenly, the doors were thrust open and everyone's attention turned toward it where a young woman was standing and staring at the entire guild with her mouth agape. She had short orange hair and wore a bright yellow jacket over a white shirt and bright yellow sweatpants complimented by white shoes.

"… … C… This… is… AAAAAAAWWWWWWWESSOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEE!" She shouted at the top of her lungs with an incredible sense of joy. In almost a flash she had ran up to Blaise on the second floor and rapidly shook hands with her. "Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! I can't believe I'm face to face with the amazing Blaise and her guild! I am your BIGGEST fan! Ooooh, I just died and gone to heeeaven! Oh, pardon me! I'm Nina Birnir (Age 18), the reporter from Sorcerer Weekly! When I heard Phoenix Dawn was going to be interviewed, I volunteered immediately! Do you mind if I start asking you, the Guild Master, some questions and then I can interview your guild mates?"

"Uh… That sounds perfectly fine." Blaise nervously chuckled.


In Blaise's office, she and Nina sat at her desk and commenced with the interview.

Nina: Blaise 'The Phoenix' Lianna, before forming Phoenix Dawn you were in a few other guilds. Is that correct?

Blaise: Yes, the first guild I joined was Mermaid Heel, at the age of 8. After 10 years with them, I figured I was strong enough and I decided to join Fairy Tail. However, I joined days after the Tenrou Island incident so the next five years were difficult to simply make an adequate living. While I never deemed Fairy Tail weak, their low morale got the better of me and I joined Lamia Scale.

N: And you were a member until you became a Wizard Saint, right?

B: That's right.

N: Did you leave to form your own guild because of your new title?

B: No, those incidents simply happened to coincide. On my wall back to Lamia Scale, I found a young boy without a home to call his own. Lamia was willing to let him join, but he declined. That was when I decided to form Phoenix Dawn.

N: Interesting… And is this boy still in Phoenix Dawn?

B: He is. His name is Spiral Yuki and he is one of our four S-Class mages.

N: Mm-hm, now let's talk about yourself. What do you do in your spare time?

B: When I'm not on jobs to help pay for the guild, I often search around the city looking for any homeless people and offer them some food and water. I'd rather not give them actual money. For all I know, the older ones might spend it to buy booze or drugs.

N: Wow, you certainly live up to the 'saint' part.

B: When I'm not doing that, I read.

N: What kind of books do you read?

B: … Can we skip to the next question, please?

Nina then saw something hidden underneath a stack of papers.

N: What's that on the table?

B: It's just paperwork. Please ask the next question.

Nina jumped for the table and Blaise tried to pull her back.

N: Ohmygosh! It's an erotica!

B: Please don't write that down in the magazine!

N: And not just any erotica…

B: Please stop.

N: It's gay erotica! You get off on men-

B: I think this interview is done.


The next person up was Jason.

N: My next participant is one of the S-Class mages of Phoenix Dawn, Jason Lexus.

Jason: It's a pleasure.

N: So, what kind of magic do you use?

J: I use Zephyr Magic, I control the wind around my body and use it to attack and defend.

N: *long stare*

J: Uh… Are you okay?

N: Has anyone told you how sexy you are?

J: Uh… no, because I'm not sexy.

N: Are you available?

J: … Yes.

N: Will you go out with me?

J: I'm sorry, I'm not interested. I… have eyes for someone else.

N: *rubs fingers against chin* … Interesting… Interesting… Would that someone happen to be… Kagura Mikazuchi of Mermaid Heel?

J: Where'd you get that from?!

N: On one of your first jobs, you encountered and battle with her… and tied. You must be the type of guy who likes tough women.

J: Not really-

N: LIES!

Jason sighed and face-palmed himself.


N: I am now speaking with another of the guild's S-Class, Sakura Momohime and her Exceed Flora. Miss Momohime, what kind of magic do you use?

Sakura: I'm a Forest Dragon Slayer. I eat plants to replenish my magic power.

N: Does that include regular meals such as salad?

S: Yes, it does. And I also happen to be a vegan.

N: That would explain why your breasts aren't very prominent.

Flora: Oh boy…

S: … What?

F: I think we should end this interview now.

S: Not before I kick her-!


N: Next up, I am speaking with Spiral Yuki, the hero of Roseshade who singlehandedly defeated the Guild Master of the Bladed Foxes. Not to mention you're the reason Blaise started Phoenix Dawn. Mr. Yuki, how does this herculean achievement feel?

Spiral: Well, I spent a month in training before that big fight. I feel really proud of myself. And all the attention from the ladies doesn't hurt either.

N: I'm sure it doesn't. What kind of magic do you use?

S: I use Sound Magic and Never-Melt Magic.

N: Isn't that the magic the legendary ice wizard Yukimaru uses? How do you know it?

S: I'm her son.

N: SERIOUSLY?!

Nina was frozen with her mouth agape.

S: Are you okay?

N:

Spiral tapped her forehead and she fell over like a stature. He looked back and forth suspiciously before walking out of the room whistling 'nonchalantly'.


N: Miss Hikari Suta, can you tell me a little about your magic?

Hikari: I use Photon Magic. It's a form of Maker Magic using light.

N: Can you tell me a little about why you joined the guild?

H: Well… if you must know… I fell in love with the most heroic, kindest and amazing wizard in the guild! But Spiral's being a little shy right now, but he'll ask me to be his girlfriend eventually. I've even slept over at his apartment a few times already.

N: Wait, are you saying you two are… friend with benefits?

H: Oh, no, we just sleep in the same bed sometimes. And the most nude I get are down to my bra and panties.

N: … I don't know how to respond to that.


N: How are you today, Miss Azusa Hirano?

Azusa: I am good, thank you.

N: You were the one who defeated the Bladed Foxes' Obsidian Duke, right? You must be really strong for someone so young.

A: I learned some of my magic from my father.

N: Speaking of family, I heard rumors that you and Spiral Yuki are siblings. Care to elaborate?

A: Let me say that Spiral… was separated from our family before I was born and Yukimaru took him under her wing. That's why we have different last names.

N: … I'll buy it. Anyway, your magic is Elemental Augment and Elemental Guard. The guard seems like the ultimate defense against any type of attack.

A: It's not as flawless as it seems. I can only block against one element at once and I have to dispel my current barrier before I can cast another one. The same holds true for Elemental Augment.

N: You are so cute, you know that?

A: Well that was random.


N: Aqua Mare, why do you use magic that has the same name as you?

Aqua: Water is my favorite element. In fact, one of my heroes is Juvia Lockser.

N: Are you sure it's not because you have an ego or something?

A: My parents gave me that name and I just happen to like water! It's just a coincidence!

N: On another note, are there any guys in the guild that you fancy?

A: There was like no Segway between those questions at all! But if I had to answer… well, Spiral's a nice, cute guy and Jason is handsome even though he doesn't think so.

N: By the way, I can't believe I now have to make a distinction so I don't confuse your Jason with my colleague.


N: Miss Aura, I understand that you're the princess of Zaphir?

Aura: Yes, I'm on pilgrimage so I can have a better understanding of the world.

N: You seem very polite and considerate for a royal.

A: My family holds such values very dearly. Although I was spoiled, my parents ensured that I understood the needs of other people. I might not seem like it, but I was a real brat when I was young. I was such a terrible person. Because one of the servants refused to play with me I demanded they be executed.

Even though Aura was keeping a smile on her face, Nina simply looked at her with wide-eyed shock.

N: … I think that should end this interview.


N: So Ethan Reid, I understand you're a fan of Fairy Tail's Team Natsu. Who's your favorite out of the five?

Ethan: Uh… well, Lucy.


N: Vincent Larkee, who do you think is the strongest member in your guild?

Vincent: I don't care if I'm not S-Class, clearly it's me.


N: Heart, do you have any hobbies?

Heart: I often go to the pet store and play with the kitties and puppies there.


N: So, Lionel Zenith and Eden Stormbringer, you both joined the guild together? … That's interesting.


Nina was straightening up all the notes she took during the interviews.

"Thank you all for answering my question!" Nina said with sparkles in her eyes. "I got a lot of material from you guys! You're even more awesome than I thought! Make sure to check out the next issue!"


A/N: Sorry I truncated the last few interviews, but I promise to make it up to you guys! I hope you enjoyed the chapter though! Stay tuned for next time!
