"A magic council; was killed how awful," said Wendy.
"Who would want to kill a magic council member?" Said Gray, who was missing his pants.
"Whoever it is might go after the other members as well," said Erza.
"We need to stop him before he kills anyone else," said Natsu grinning at the excitement.
Aye said Happy agreeing with Natsu.
"Natsu, we can't just go find this guy. We don't even know what he looks like," said Lucy.
"Who cares what he looks like as long we get to fight him," said Natsu.
All of a sudden, the door swung open, sending Natsu flying downstairs.
What are you brats doing? Listening to other people's conversations, said Makarov as he glare at Team Natsu.
"Gomenasai master, we didn't mean to overheard your private conversation," said Erza bowing her head.
"I guessed this was all Natsu's idea as always," said Makarov as he scratched his head.
Team Natsu reply by nodding their head up and down.
"I also guessing he wants to go looking for this mysterious person," said Makarov
Once again, Team Natsu nodded their heads.
Makarov let out a long sigh before turning to Jura.
"Well, Jura, what do you think? Should we let them go," said Makarov.
"Seeing as they heard what we were talking about, I guess it's okay as long as they capture the target, then Ifine with them going," said Jura.
"Don't worry about that. I make sure to take this guy down fast," said Natsu, who was back on his feet.
"What do you mean, you take him down. I'm going to be the one to take him down," said Gray.
"In your dream Ice Princess," said Natsu as he got in Gray's face.
"Not again," said Lucy as he put a hand on her forehead.
You two better stop it or else said Erza cracking her knuckles.
"We're sorry," said both Natsu and Gray as they fear for their life.
"Get going, you brats," said Makarov letting out a dark aura.
Yes, sir, said Team Natsu as they quickly head downstairs, exiting the guild.
Somewhere in Magnolia Town
"Did you hear someone killed a magic council member last night"?
"Yeah, I heard that it was someone with lighting magic."
Really? "Do you think it was one of those mages from one of those guilds"?
"I don't think so. What reason would anyone have for killing someone from the magic council."
Good point said the other woman.
Unknown to the two women, the mysterious man was listening to their conversation.
The mysterious man got up from his chair, put a bag of jewels on the tables, and exited the cafe.
I better leave town before anyone starts getting suspicious of me said the mysterious man as he heads in the direction of the town exit.
Back to Team Natsu
"We have searched the whole town and haven't found him," said Wendy.
"He must have left town by now," said Lucy resting on a bench.
"If that's the case, we should go after him," said Natsu.
"We can't just leave town without notifying Grandpas," said Gray.
"If we don't stop him now, he going to continue killing," said Natsu.
Natsu right, we need to go after him before he gets away, said Erza.
Let's stop talking and get going said Natsu as he led the team in the direction of the town exit.
Back to the mysterious man
The Sun is almost setting, better, make camp for the day said the mysterious man as he stops to gather wood. After gathering enough wood, he builds a fire.
I wonder what there is to eat around here said the mysterious man as he headed for the forest.
All of a sudden, the mysterious man heard footsteps.
He turns around to see Team Natsu standing before him.
"Who are you guys"? Said the mysterious man.
Before anyone could say anything, Natsu jumps toward the mysterious man with his fire fist.
The mysterious man barely manages to dodge the attack before realizing that his cloak was on fire.
The mysterious man removes his cloak and throws it away.
"What the hell? Is your problem, pal," said the mysterious man as he glares at Natsu?
Team Natsu took one look at the mysterious man and was surprised to see who the mysterious man was.
Your face.
You look just like Laxus.
