5 Years Later
In the back of Fairy Tail, three people were facing each other. The three were around 10 years old currently and all had serious expressions in their faces as they all wanted to win today to finally decide who is number one amongst them.
The three are Laxus (who was actually the tallest and more muscular of the three), Minerva (the only female who was already showing signs of how pretty she would be), and Law (who was a few inches shorter than Laxus with wavy brown hair on a ponytail and a cocky smirk on his face).
The first to move was Minerva as she, despite being a girl, was certainly the most aggressive of them.
"Space God Palm!" As she said that she trusted her palm twice, once against Laxus and once against law, a wave of pure energy moved towards them and the impact was enough to send both Laxus and Law back. When the two were close to getting a 'ring-out' from the sneak attack both moved.
Laxus accelerated, using his Lightning Dragon Slayer arts to move towards Minerva but before he got to her he was pulled towards Law who was also moving towards him. Law could only smirk, knowing that doing this would certainly annoy Laxus as he was using the other boy to get pulled back.
"Sun God's Respect." Law said, his magic forcing others to come to him when he wanted to, pulling via gravity towards him. Law could even control if it would be only the enemy to approach if he would approach the enemy too.
Laxus, despite his annoyance, turned to Law, took a deep breath, and released his magic.
"Lightning Dragon's Roar"
Law responded in kind, stopping the use of his Sun God skills and turning to another. Taking a deep breath he attacked with a roar.
"Destruction Dragon's fury!"
A wave of thunder and one of crimson energy that could destroy anything clashed in mid-air. The two attacks entered in a stalemate but Law's attack was gaining strength and starting to overpower Laxus' attack. However, it was at that point that Minerva returned to the fray, with a deep breath of her own she roared.
"Space God's Punishment!" From her mouth a vortex of distorted space was sent, it went against Law's attack, her and Laxus together managing to overpower Law completely and quickly gain up on him. When the attack was close Law changed forms again, with a wave of his arms he changed to another magic.
"Moon Devil's Dome!" as he said that the ambient around him changed, the area around him being covered by moonlight and ice covered both attacks when they entered the area, stopping them before they could reach Law.
He then pointed a finger at Minerva and power concentrated in his finger.
"Moon Devil's Mercy." As he said that he started to shoot beams of light at Minerva who began teleporting all around, avoiding the attacks.
Laxus also ganged up on her, using his superior speed to chase her while not forgetting to be mindful of the attacks from Law who could at any moment turn on him.
It was another half an hour before a winner had been decided, and the one standing, in the end, was... none. They all had fallen exhausted and unable to fight anymore even if they could replenish their magic energy.
Makarov, looking at this whole situation, smiled wistfully at seeing his grandson be able to fight and be a child when around his friends. Yes, friends, because that is what Minerva and Law were to Laxus. Makarov could only smile seeing this, his grandson was still brash and full of himself, but now he was not nearly as bad as before and he had true friends by his side.
"These kids, they all are quite the monsters for their ages, huh." Macao said beside Makarov who nodded.
"Yes, I heard that Law desires to go adventure now." Makarov admitted and Macao looked at him. "He said that he wants to go and search for compatible lacrimas for himself now that the process with his ritual is stable and he can start looking for lacrimas."
"Interesting, he seems capable enough if you ask me. He can probably take care of himself, I mean he clearly has the strength for some of the easier jobs.
"... I am not sure if I should allow it." Makarov said honestly with a sigh.
"And why not? He is not that bad in fighting and he clearly is not as destructive as some of us when we go on missions. I mean, he always tries to not destroy anything when most of us, well, we don't really care overly much either way." Macao said and Makarov looked at him as if he was looking at an utter idiot.
"Why not? Because I cannot say for sure how badly he can screw things up if he were to go out now that the ritual over him has finally acclimated and his power is rising. Four out of five he will be an example of how a guild mage should act, but the remaining one is what worries me." Makarov said and Macao winced.
He can still remember the fact that the guild was still paying some charges for the stunt Law caused when he went and used the Illusion aspect of the Moon Devil Slayer arts and, instead of making himself be invisible, he ended up with half of Magnolia on a daze and accidents happened all around.
Or the time that he tried using his Destruction Dragon Slayer arts, which normally only lightly damaged the ground, and ended up creating a deep hole on the ground that found a water vein, the water that came out of it flooded the guild and ruined most of their underground stocks of food and booze.
And the less said of the newest small lake near the city the better, it was originally flat ground after all and people were still complaining that they needed glasses after that stunt.
So, yeah, Law might be much less impulsive and try and cause less damage to his surroundings than others, but Makarov had a premonition that in time he might have two Gildarts in his hands instead of only one.
If he did not already have grey hair then this surely would give him that coloring.
"But Master, if we keep him here he will not really be able to grow. At this point the number of people in the guild who can fight him, Minerva, and Laxus is quite low and they are only starting to grow up. Shouldn't we help them grow instead of try and hold them back?" Macao asked and Makarov sighed.
"Perhaps, perhaps you really are right." Makarov said and then turned his head up and sighed tiredly before smirking to himself.
He wanted to complain, but deep down knew it would be stupid to do so. His guild was full of destructive idiots that were as likely to create mayhem as they are to get things done right, but he still liked them all the same despite it all.
Later that night Makarov called Laxus, Minerva, and Law to his quarters. The three kids had just returned from a visit at Porlyusica and they were already back to pristine conditions, seeing them moving and talking happily while approaching made Makarov smile. Especially seeing Laxus actually laugh at a joke made by Minerva, he never expected to see his grandson acting in such a way before these two's arrival and now he was extremely grateful towards the two of them.
As the three were presented before the Master he spoke.
"You three, now you are already big enough to start your own adventures." Makarov said and the three almost trembled in excitement Makarov smiled seeing this and spoke. "You all can choose up to C Rank missions, they are not yet high but I put them as the height to see how you all get on them, if you are proven good enough I will let you take higher difficulty missions.
Laxus instantly went forward and fist-bumped.
"Leave it to me, Jiji. I will do this mission perfectly and be one step closer to become the next Guild Master!"
Minerva then spoke next.
"I will be off then, I will make sure to make you proud, master Makarov."
And then there was Law.
"... Jiji, in any of these missions, are there possible locations for Lacrimas?"
Makarov sweatdropped hearing this, this kid clearly being self-interested and very much different than Laxus or Minerva.
"... There isn't. Only higher difficulty missions could have what you are looking for."
"Oh, okay. Then I gotta prove myself to you before I can go there, that works as well." Law said sagely and Makarov felt like maybe, just maybe, he has done some great mistake.
It has been a week since the three kids went out and Laxus and Minerva had just arrived today. The two glaring in competitiveness at one another, trying (and failing) to show they are better when they got about the same result in the end.
Makarov, seeing the two go at it, smiled fondly at this situation until he noticed that Law has yet to return or send news.
The next day was the same and only in the following day news arrived about him.
The news was quite simple, Law had gone to the town where his work was to take place just as the town was being attacked by slavers. Law fought them off and the villagers were saved thanks to this, two of the kids that were not injured decided to enlist and had just arrived in Fairy Tail. The girl had 9 years old and the boy had 12, their respective names being Kagura Mikazuchi and Simon Mikazuchi.
When the master enquired about Law, as he had yet to return, the siblings looked at one another and Simon spoke.
"He said he wants to impress, so he will go and hunt down the base of the slavers."
"But, but why did he not wait or ask for reinforcements?" Makarov asked in almost a shout.
This time Simon did not know what to say, but someone else knew.
"He probably wants to show off." Minerva commented, sighing to herself as she knew that, while her friend was not exactly like his older brother the two were still very much related. The two have a tendency for showing off a bit much.
Makarov sighed, knowing that this was a distinct possibility. He now had to wonder, just how his guild would change with these new kids in here.
AN:
The pool is still ongoing. Go and vote, depending on the votes I will introduce characters.
About what happens to him when he uses his magic skills too much, let's just say that he is better off changing magics every once in a while of the results are not pretty. He would grow in time, but for now, it is better if he doesn't exaggerate with any of them
