I do not own Fairy Tail in any way, shape or form. I do however own my OC and his gear (not the concepts behind them)
Makarov said, "Alright let's start this. Ready?" Korogra and Natsu nodded, and one of the guildmates said, "C'mon Natsu, I've got money riding on you!" Makarov shouted, "BEGIN!" Natsu rushed Korogra, intent on finishing this quick, but Korogra jumped over him and kicked Natsu in the back before going on the offensive with his hands glowing blue. Grey noticed that it was a darker blue than his Ice Make magic, Natsu also went on the offensive and they matched each other blow-for-blow, something that rarely happened, breaking apart Korogra said, "Hey Natsu, why don't we kick it up a notch?" Natsu said, "Sounds good to me." They then kicked up their speed and became little more than dark blue and red blurs.
Everyone was shocked, Korogra and Natsu seem to be going all out. Soon they knocked each other across the field, Natsu said, "Not bad newbie." Korogra responded, "Thanks, you ain't that bad either Natsu. But I think it's time to wrap this up." Natsu said, "Couldn't agree more." Fire erupted around his hand and Natsu said, "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" And charged, Korogra's leg glowed white and he propelled himself with aura saying, "Mega Kick!" Both connected and tried to push the other back, but the energy built up and exploded. When the smoke cleared both were still standing but barely and they glared at each other. Korogra started falling but as Natsu was smirking his pupils suddenly shrank and he collapsed Korogra on the other hand stopped himself with his other leg and said, "Great spar Natsu." Before collapsing himself, the guild stood in shock, not only could he match Natsu blow-for-blow, but could match Natsu's speed and pull through, even if it was just barely. Makarov was the first to recover and said, "The winner is the newest guild member, Korogra Kanbara." It took everyone a few seconds to snap out of their shock and, albeit reluctantly, payed Lucy, Mira, and Cana. Lucy was happy as she had more than enough for her rent for this month and could start saving for the next. Makarov said, "Now that's done, Mira, Elfman please take them to the infirmary. As they did so Mira asked, "Elfman please don't shout about 'Real Men' right now, they need rest." Elfman said, "Sure thing Mira." Lucy followed behind them with Korogra's stuff in hand. In the infirmary, Lucy was talking with Mira and Elfman about how she met Korogra
A few hours later Korogra stirred and said, "Damn that wasn't pleasant." They were shocked that he was awake already, but Natsu was still out like a light. Elfman shouted, "You both fought like real men!" Korogra grabbed his head and said, "Elfman could you tone it down, I have a splitting headache." Elfman bashfully said, "Oh Sorry Korogra." Getting up Korogra said, "Don't worry about it Elfman, you were just excited." Mira said, "Korogra, you still need to rest. You have that mission tomorrow." Korogra said, "Don't worry Mira. I still have to fix up that old mansion up on the hill I bought. It's previous owner will take care of the plants." Lucy asked, "I'd like to see, can I come with you?" Smiling, Korogra said, "Sure. C'mon." As they walked, Lucy said, "Oh! I almost forgot! Here's your stuff." Taking it back, he said, "Thanks." A few minutes later they reached the top of the hill and Korogra said, "There it is Lucy." Seeing the mansion almost falling apart she said, "That's gonna need a lot of work." Korogra smirked, "Not when you have help." Korogra then concentrated and said, "Aura Clone!" Then about a hundred afterimages appeared before solidifying into clones, Korogra then said, "Alright boys, we've got to fix up this old mansion as it will be our new home." The clones let out a chorus of, "You got it boss!" Korogra said, "Good, report to me if there's a problem." Lucy asked, "How did you do that?" Korogra responded, "I told you about my ability to manipulate aura, one technique I developed is the cloning technique."
Soon enough a clone came up and said, "Boss, we've got a problem." Following the clone they saw a stain on the wall, Korogra contacted the previous owner and asked why there was a stain on the wall. Getting the information, Korogra said, "According the the owner, when he was in town his friend watched the house and was attacked and killed by a knight who went insane. The knight was killed but not before running the owner's friend through with a sword." Making more clones he said, "Go into town and get supplies to remove this stain and paint over it, as well as supplies to make a dojo." Lucy asked, "Dojo?" Nodding Korogra said, "Yeah, in case I want to come up with new techniques. Anyway, you might want to think about expanding the magic you can use, just in case your spirits can't help you." Lucy said, "You're right, I can't rely too much on my spirits. I need to be able to fight alongside them, but I don't know what else I could learn." Korogra, while picking up some trash, said, "Well, I could find someone to teach you how to fight with a staff." She said, "That'd be great! But you have a mission tomorrow so I'll have to wait." He said, "Well I could teach you the very basics, and I know a girl that could help you perfect the basics. Granted after that you'll have to come up with your own style." She said, "It'd be good if I had a style that can hit hard but I can stay at a distance. I'll be the first to admit that, compared to the other girls, I'm not as physically able." Korogra put a hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, while you may not be as physically able, I'm certain you are one of the smartest girls in the guild."
Lucy blushed, "Thanks Korogra." He nodded and tossed her a wooden staff and said, "Watch my stances and try to mimic them." He then went through several stances, which Lucy mimicked perfectly. Korogra then said, "Go through each stance until shifting between them becomes second nature." Lucy did so and almost got it down before handing the staff back to Korogra saying, "I need to get back to my apartment for the night see ya." Korogra said, "Alright, Later Lucy." Once his home was up to snuff, he made himself some dinner then collapsed on his bed saying, "Holy hell, that spar took a lot out of me. Suppose it makes sense though, he is a dragon slayer Mage after all." The next day he woke up and did some brief training before eating breakfast then headed to the guild hall, once there he found himself in the middle of the daily brawl. Dodging the spells that were thrown his way he requiped a sword that was made of water before leaping up then slashing on his way down causing a massive wave to crash over everyone then switching to a bladed fan he created a whirlwind to dry everyone and fix the damages done, putting the fan away he said, "Alright Mira, I'm taking the job I reserved now. I'll be back in about a week."
Kinda dazed from the whirlwind she said, "Alright Korogra, the mission flyer is on the board." Grabbing it he said over his shoulder, "I'll try to get in contact with the girl who can teach ya Lucy." Pulling a collapsed staff from his pocket he tossed it to her and said, "Here, you can practice with this while I'm gone. There's a button on the side that extends it." Catching it she pushed the button and it extended to be barely shorter than her. She said, "Thanks Korogra, good luck."
A/N: I'm actually gonna stop there, so next time Korogra will take on the mission he reserved and if I get around to it he'll join Grey, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Erza to find and destroy 'Lullaby'. Lack of updates due to Writer's Block and lack of motivation
