Laxus met Lucy at the training grounds with the rest of the thunder God tribe behind him, baffled by what they were seeing. Lucy had magically grown ears and a tail! Lucy explained the happenings, once again, to them. After explaining the situation Laxus had an inkling that the pendant wasn't normal. *hello minna-San this is poison-neko speaking, is Laxus smart or what! Note the sarcasm. Ooh also when I put the star shaped thingies it means that I'm speaking haha ~Nya~*. And as such he voiced his thoughts and was met with a "No shit Sherlock" from Lucy.

After the conversation Laxus started the training regimen Lucy would be doing Avery day. Laxus said "Lucy, every morning you will go on a 4mile run and time yourself, next you will come to the guild and go to the weight room and do the sets and reps on the machines that Bixlow tells you to, then you will go with Freed to the library as a break and study up on anything he deems necessary, after that you will go outside to the training grounds and practice/learn rune magic with Freed. Afterwards you will be given 30 minutes of rest to have a milkshake in the guild hall. After the break, training continues outside with me and Evergreen, we will have sparring matches, Evergreen and you against me. As time goes on you will get stronger and will not need evergreen, so then it will be 1 on 1. And if you become stronger than me, which is not likely, you will go 1 vs 2 you versus me and Bixlow. After that your training will be done for the day, at first it may take the whole day but as you get better it should take less and less of your time. This is the training for weekdays, on the weekends you just need to run, plus you will only need to run if we are on a job. Oh I almost forgot we spar for 30 mins, take a 5 min break, then another 30 mins. Your training starts tomorrow. Also I expect you to start your run at 6:00 every morning rain or shine." Lucy stared at Laxus then screamed in a shrill voice, "that is insane, I'll finish all that at like 10:00 at night!" Laxus replied "that just means you really need to improve. Oh I almost forgot the week before your rent is due every month we shall go on a job to asses the amount you have improved, and to also earn you money." Lucy just sat there crying anime style, then Laxus shouted "up to the track your running 4 miles right now for an Alicia's time to compare your morning times with later on,". Lucy just got up and looking defeated went to the track and started.

Lucy panted heavily as Laxus looked at her with eyebrows raised and said, "you got a better time than I thought you would. Your time is 35 mins". Lucy just looked at him and said "don't underestimate me I've had to run away from Erza and monsters plenty of times to run it well."

Lucy entered the guild and immediately looked for Laxus and the thunder God tribe, and found them standing next to the S-class mission board looking for a suitable mission for them to take with high pay and a low amount of time. Lucy walked over and with her ears twiching and her tail swishing from side to side in excitement she pointed to a flier in the top left hand corner that they hadn't noticed. The flier read issued by the magic council, defeat small dark guild in magnolias dark forest, REWARD 1,000,000 JEWEL! The thunder God tribe ripped the mission and handed it to Laxus who then in turn took it to Mira who approved it. And they were on their way.

Lucy said "alright this is the plan, Bixlow and Evergreen you barge through the front doors to draw every ones attention while freed writes runes around the dark guild so that the guild members cannot escape, while Laxus and I wipe out the guild master from behind." Every one agreed with the plan and got into position.
