There were a lot of people I was introduced to. Mostly people my age - others couldn't be bothered. The two that had been fighting earlier but were now just hanging about were Natsu and Gray. Natsu was the pink-haired fire dragon slayer. Gray was an ice maker magic wizard with a stripping fetish and very dark blue-black hair that matched droopy eyes set into a pale complexion. The girl in armor with scarlet hair was named Erza Scarlet. She used summoning magic to re-quip weapons and armor. A brunette named Cana used card magic. Then there were two sisters and their brother – the brother being the middle child. In order of age, these were their names: Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna. Mirajane was the oldest and had a rivalry with Erza. Elfman was obsessed with manliness, and Lisanna wanted to be Natsu's wife. The people listed were the mages that belonged to my generation of Fairy Tail.
After I'd introduced myself, Natsu said, "Dio, huh? Fight me!" A smirk crossed my face as I replied, "Sure. I won't even need magic for a small fry like you." He ran at me and flames covered his fist when he yelled, "Iron fist of the-" I casually backhanded him across the room. "Natsu!" Lisanna cried as she ran over to him. The others just laughed.
"What's that?" My attention was drawn to a large corkboard on the far wall of the guild. Erza was the first to speak, "That's the request board. People put up request and anyone in the guild can take the job and be paid for it."
"Cool." I said. Everyone else had recovered and was going on with their various conversations. Fey and Happy were animatedly talking, and Fey was being interrogated by Natsu. I looked up and around, then asked Erza, "What's on the second floor?"
"The second floor is only for S-Class wizards, the elite of the guild. There's a request board up there as well, filled only with S-Class jobs. These jobs are the kinds of things ordinary wizards wouldn't survive. There's also dorms – but that's about it."
"Are you an S-Class?"
She looked proud when she nodded. "I was passed the last exam, Mirajane too. It was just a couple months ago. Sorry you missed it."
I shook my head. "Don't worry. I'll be in it next time." Erza looked surprised but then smiled and nodded. She told me I should start racking up jobs soon then. I snatched one of the higher paying posters on the board and yelled to Fey. "Fey! We're going to work!"
"Where are we going?" she asked.
I looked at the poster. "Maygarten." She excused herself and we headed out.
As we walked westward out of Magnolia, I read the poster aloud. "Small group of dark mages harassing town. Needs apprehension." We soon arrived at the small town. It looked abandoned. "Hellooo?" I called.
A man stepped out of a boarded up shop and asked, "Who are you?"
"We're from Fairy Tail." I called out over my shoulder.
He was silent for a moment, "You're just a kid."
I shrugged. "You're just a scared old man in a shop." He looked like he was about to say something, but instead slammed the door.
"Well, well, well." A deep gravelly voice called, "Look what we have here." I could tell from the laughs that came that I was surrounded. "What a cutie pie," one of them cackled. "Just wait 'till she gets older," another one crooned. "She said she's from Fairy Tail. How cocky can they get, sending little kids after us." They laughed again. "Well when you crawl home, tell them the dark guild Poison Dart did this to you."
Another voice yelled as they closed in on Fey and I, "Spider snare!" Webbing shot out at me and I dodged as I tried to contain my laughter. It came from a magic circle on his butt. I hit the ground laughing and hardly able to breathe. He looked indignant. "H-Hey. Don't laugh." I tried to stop laughing and get control, but to no avail. "Fine then," he growled as he crouched with his hands to the ground. "Let's see how you like THIS! Spider Sea!" A magic circle opened on the ground and tons of tiny spiders poured out. Gross.
Fey started squishing and attacking them for sport while I ran-in bare feet-across the crawling carpet towards my opponent. "Iron Fist of the Diamond Dragon." The mage fell into a wall, unconscious, and the spiders disappeared. The rest came at me in all manner of ways; I decided to end this with one hit. I jumped up in the air and yelled, "Wing Slash of the Diamond Dragon." All of them were blown away and down for the count, so I tied them all up against the wall and yelled to the town, "Alright! They're all done now. All you have to do is call the Rune Knights."
People began peeking out their windows and cautiously stepped outside, "You? Did this?" a woman asked. I replied that I had. In the end I was paid and Fey and I went home. I'd only broken two walls!
