Thank you everyone for the review. I really appreciate the questions coming from the readers. Let me answer the questions posed by wildanimelover.

In this setting both Natsu and Tsuna taken in by the Wizard Saint, Jellal as his disciples. A Wizard Saint in my fic has the license to: 1) Take in disciples, 2) create a double of his own. Should his disciple become a Wizard Saint by passing the Wizard Saint exam one day, they will have to break off the teacher-disciple relationship. More will be elaborated in S5.

Thanks ahuna67 for beta-reading my fic. This chapter was just as hard to write as the previous one.

Coming up next is the flashback of Jellal on his battle against Zeref. Or can it even be considered a battle?

Chapter 2: Tsuna's First Leadership Mission

On this day, Tsuna was dragging his feet back to the guild, with Happy cheering him on. Thanks to his injuries from the battle against Laxus the other day, he had not been taking on any mission for quite some time. He had no money for his wife at the moment. His wife, Ciel, wanted to start a guild to help more people in need but that cost money. Poor Tsuna had to cough out all his savings for his wife's "little" ambition.

Upon reaching the door of the guild, he was summoned to Makarov's office as he had a mission for him. This mission was supposed to be given to Mystogan but he did not hear anything from him again ever since he went after the mysterious presence. Makarov was worried about him. As they had no time to lose, he would entrust the mission to Tsuna. Makarov had high expectation for him even though he never said so.

"Isn't Mystogan, my teacher, Jellal?" Tsuna took this chance to confirm with Makarov who looked at him and nodded. "You allowed him to do that?"

*Flashback*

Tsuna was really shocked to see the face of the most mysterious mage of Fairy Tail, Mystogan when Laxus tore his mask into shred. Mystogan had been in the guild way before he joined the guild. To think no one had ever noticed that.

"Teacher?" Tsuna managed to get his words out of his mouth. Erza was too stunned to say anything.

"You are really well and alive! I thought you are dead." Tsuna exclaimed as Jellal turned his head away from them, avoiding their gazes.

"Jellal… alive…" Tears welled up Erza's eyes at the sight of the man she was missing so much. Jellal glanced at her sadly.

*End Flashback*

"Damn Jellal, is really alive. To think he actually had his double hiding in the guild all these time. How cunning can he get? "

This mission was given by the Magic Council: to destroy the lost Nirvana. It was said that Nirvana was stolen by the Dark Guild, Oracion Seis. Tsuna was irritated by the fact that the Council did not bother to get rid of Nirvana after they had retrieved it when he defeated Master Zero considering that it was a dangerous magic. As expected from the corrupted Council. It did not help even though there had been reorganization in the Management level after the incident with the Tower of Heaven. Many mages such as Yajima, Wendy, and Charles had left the Council since the incident.

Tsuna had gotten home after reading the mission briefing on hand. He punched his fist against the wall after making sure that Ciel was not around to hear him.

"Brother!" Tsuna was really frustrated when he got reminded of his twin, Natsu. If only he was able to stop him from joining the Council, he would not get into a heated argument with him and right now, Natsu would still be alive and well. He would not be wanted by the Council for breaking the jail and releasing the prisoner, General of Kingdom Empire, Brain. What was the use of it when his brother was already gone? The Council had told him that they wanted to see his body if he really was dead, if not they wouldn't retract their order.

Tsuna really regretted his decision. Nine years ago, tragedy happened when he ran off after a fight with Natsu. Natsu had his memories sealed since then. Tsuna chose to leave him with Fairy Tail so that both of them would be able to lead a brand new life. Natsu would be able to perform his role as an elder brother and Tsuna would rely on him for pocket money as a younger brother. He thought this would be better for both of them. Why was he always making mistake when comes to Natsu's welfare? He had not learnt his lesson after the incident with Kingdom Empire and ended up getting Natsu killed. Tsuna was unable to face his parents in the afterlife when the time came.

It seemed like he needed to clear up the mess made by his brother. He probably had to engage Brain or even Zero to a battle once again. Previously, Tsuna who was inexperienced back then had help from his teacher, Jellal to be able to defeat him. He wondered how much stronger Brain or Zero had become since his escape six months ago.

As of now, they needed to form an alliance with members from a few Light Guilds. This was not the first time Fairy Tail formed alliance with other guilds in order to fulfill their mission especially when their opponent was too powerful to be taken on by just only one guild. Should they fail, vengeance from the dark guild was assured and they would be the only guild targeted. Hence, it was safer for them to form an alliance instead.

Tsuna was nominated to represent Fairy Tail as the leader in this mission but instead of leading and commanding, he would rather fight. He was glad that Hibiki from Blue Pegasus who was much more experienced in commanding in mission would be participating but for some reason, it seemed that he was being watched by the Council so another leader is appointed to assist him and that would be his role.

Back in the guild, Tsuna had handpicked his members to join him in the mission and of course he would have his strongest team onboard including Lucy who just joined them, together with Happy, Gray and Erza. This time, it seemed that Wendy Marvell and her partner, Charles would be joining them. Wendy promised that they would not become their burden. Tsuna was very reluctant when Wendy approached him after learning of the mission. He could not trust her. Even though she was supposed to be a healer, she did not seem to be trustworthy. The reason being she was unable to heal his brother both physically and mentally.

"Isn't that ok?" Erza said and stepped in to Tsuna and Wendy's talk about accepting her into the team. "She will not be a burden. In fact, it will be beneficial if we have a healer onboard to heal our injuries if need be."

Tsuna was pissed. Erza got a point there. Tsuna was stubborn as he had refused Wendy to take care of his injuries after the Battle of Fairy Tail, which was why he was taking quite a while to heal while the rest and even Gajeel, who got the worst of the injuries recovered faster than he did. He nodded in reluctance.

"That's decided. The five of us, together with Happy and Charles will participate in the mission. We will be counting on you" Erza said and looked at Wendy and Charles who in return, nodded. Then she turned to Tsuna. "Hang in there, Tsuna. Master had high expectation from you to be giving you the leadership for this mission."

"What the…" Tsuna sulked in response. He disagreed with her. "Wrong! I'm given this opportunity because I'm powerful enough and because I'm my mum's son."

"Please guide me along." Wendy was grateful to them.

"So this is the strongest team. The team of Jellal's disciple, Tsuna-san. It is going to be a fruitful experience." Wendy commented as she squatted down beside Charles admiring Tsuna who was discussing with Erza on their preparation before they set off.

"Are you sure, this is ok?" Charles asked in displeasure. The white exceed watched Wendy worriedly. She was aware that once Wendy had decided on something, it was very hard to change her mind. She was worried about the upcoming battle. If it wasn't that she ran off because she was annoyed by the male cat, Wendy would not have gone after her and she would not have bumped into that man.

That man was none other than the wanted fugitive, Jellal who used the identity of Mystogan to join Fairy Tail. Charles found him rather cunning as he joined quite long ago. Does that mean he had anticipated this situation? She felt even more uneasy as she thought about it.

Jellal was kneeling alone in the heavy rain after Wendy left for the guild. He rushed back after waking up at Porlyusica's place. Porlyusica had found him unconscious and badly injured on her way back home. Jellal was filled with regret.

"Zeref would be heading to Nirvana next. How am I going to tell you about his vessel? There is no way for them of winning this if they learn of this".
