The next day

Lin walked into the guild and found a table in a corner so he didn't have to deal with anyone. He peaceful serenity was interrupted by Natsu.

"Hey, Fight me." Natsu said igniting his hands

"No" Lin replied "But give this to blondie when she gets here."

Lin handed Natsu Loke's key. The look of shock on Natsu's face made Lin smile a little

"Tell her it's a gift and don't tell her I gave it to you." Lin said. Natsu nodded still confused. Lin sat back in his chair and propped his feet on the table. He saw Lucy come in and Natsu give her the key. What brought a smile to Lin's face was that Lucy hugged Natsu when she thanked him.

It's nice to see people forming deeper bonds. Lin thought. Lin got bored watching Natsu and Lucy, so he walked to the request board to see what jobs there were. He found one that asked for demons to be fought. Scanning over the request he saw the reward was 1.3 million Jewels. He told Mira he was taking the job and left. The town was a three day walk if you stopped at all. Lin made it in a day and a half. He walked into the town surveying the carnage that the demon had done. Lin immediately looked for the mayor. When he couldn't find him he asked one of the few people and they pointed him to the mayor.

"Hi, I'm from fairy tail." Lin said walking up to the mayor.

"Yes, of course, have you come to kill the demon?" The mayor asked. Lin nodded his head and asked about the demon. The information he got was useless, but he did get when it would attack again.

So the demon attacks again tonight. This is going to be easy. Lin thought. He waited until night fall before walking into the center of town. He was greeted by a horned beast that looked a little like the keeper.

"So, ugly can you speak or does the dirt we're walking on have more intelligence?" Lin asked looking at the demon

"Human you dare insult me. You have sentenced yourself to DEATH!" The demon roared as it charged at Lin. Lin side stepped it and summoned Kōri no Hana (a traditional style katana and one of Lin's strongest swords)

He drew the blade back and struck at the demon's back causing it to roar in pain. Lin's attacks didn't stop there though. He continued to slice the demon. Its blood covered the surroundings. After the last strike, The demon turned and back handed Lin into a building causing him to go completely through it. Lin stood up and got his bearings back as he walked back to the demon. The only difference is now Lin was pissed. Lin rushed the demon and cut it in half with a single stroke of his blade. After killing the demon, Lin passed out at its corpse.

The next morning they found the demon dead and a note saying to keep the money.

Lin arrived at fairy tail, where he went to his usal table to continue sleeping.
