Chapter 4: Making The Cut
"I still feel very uneasy about coming here." Leina said as she walked side by side with Levy.
"Will you stop worrying so much?" Levy asked Leina with a frown.
"I can't help it, I'm nervous." Leina said.
"Hey guys!" Natsu yelled as he snuck up on Levy and Leina.
"Ah!" Leina yelled in as her heart raced.
"Whoops, sorry Leina. Are you okay, you look like you've seen a ghost?" Natsu asked with a slight frown.
"I'm fine, just a bit nervous." Leina said as she scanned the area for the hundredth time.
"Laxus made a joke about her fighting him in the training grounds yesterday and she took him seriously." Levy said flatly.
"He did? Don't worry, I can fight him for you and you can take someone else." Natsu said with a smile.
"Really, are you sure you want to do that?" Leina asked.
"Sure, I've been trying to beat him for years?" Natsu asked giving her a soft nudge on her side.
"I'd rather fight him two on one then we'll be on the same level as he is." Leina said.
"Whichever way works for me, I just want to kick his ass for once." Natsu said with determination.
"Didn't you do that already?" Levy asked with a sweatdrop.
"That was a different fight; this is not the same as that." Natsu said with a smirk.
"How so?" Levy asked in disbelief.
"Just ignore him; trying to understand won't make the situation any better." Lucy said as she, Erza, and Juvia walked up next to Levy.
"He really is determined, isn't he?" Leina asked Lucy.
"A little too determined." Lucy said with a sigh.
"Well it looks like the evaluation is about to start, you better get ready Leina." Erza said with a smile.
"Let's just get this over with." Leina said as she hung her head in defeat.
"You'll be fine; we go easy on newcomers so you don't have to worry." Erza said to her as she placed her hand on her shoulder.
"If you say so." Leina said as she walked into the changing room and then walked into the training ground to see everyone in Fairy Tail watching her.
"Do your best Leina." Levy yelled as she watched her from the crowd.
"Don't I always do my best?" Leina asked herself as she prepared herself.
"Your opponent will be Gray Fullbuster!" Makarov said as Gray stood in front of Leina so they could shake hands.
Leina walked back to her place in the training ground and waited for Makarov to begin their fight. She felt her heart race as she waited. Once she heard the loud ring of the bell she had to dodge quickly as Gray threw a punch from behind her.
"What the hell? He appeared out of nowhere!" Leina thought as she saw a small smirk on his face when she dodged.
"Ice-Make: Lance!" Gray yelled as he shot an ice lance towards Leina."
"Appear before me, Meian!" Leina said as a Black and Silver nodachi appeared in her hands. (Meian=Light and Darkness)
Leina swung her sword at the Ice Lance and it immediately cut in half and fell to the ground behind her. Everyone cheered as they all watched her land gracefully on her feet. Gray quirked an eyebrow at the elaborate detailed sword. The handle of the sword was black with silver parallel lines and the guard was silver with a black blade collar. The blade of the sword was black and it had a blood red edge that had a silver edge pattern that was in the shape of flames. All in all, the sword looked as if it could do some real damage in the right hands.
"Not bad, but let's see if you can cut this." Gray said with a smirk.
"Ice-Make: Ice Wall!" Gray yelled.
Within a few seconds Leina was frozen in a thick sheet of ice. Everyone went quiet as Leina stayed frozen in the ice with no sign of breaking free.
"Dammit, I have to break free! The only way I can get out of this is if I do that, but I don't want them to see it yet. I've got no choice; I'll do it in three seconds!" Leina thought as she felt the dark power emerging from her body.
"Devil's Cry!" Leina yelled as she changed for a brief second and let out a screech that had everyone in the training grounds covering their ears.
Leina quickly changed back before anyone could see her and then she stood in front of Gray with a smile on her face.
"I win." Leina said with a wide smile.
"She wins!" Makarov yelled as everyone cheered for Leina.
"Go Leina!" Levy and Lucy yelled with smiles on their faces.
"I didn't hurt your ears too bad, did I? Leina asked Gray as she helped him stand.
"Nope, I'm good." Gray said with a smile.
"Am I an official member now?" Leina asked Makarov as he walked towards her.
"You were a member from the start; this was just a test to see what type of magic you use." Makarov said with a smile.
"I could have told you that on my own." Leina said flatly.
"Yes, you could have, but I still would need to see just how advanced you are in using your magic.
"Well the only types of magic I can use are Letter Magic and Sound Magic beside that I can make weapons and I am good at fighting with them." Leina said with a nervous laugh.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail Leina." Makarov said as he placed her Burgundy guild mark on the back of her right shoulder.
Leina smiled as she walked out of the training grounds to see Levy and the others smiling brightly at her. Levy ran towards her and gave her a big hug.
"You did great; I can't believe that you've improved that much with all that work you had been doing." Levy said with a smile.
"I know, I actually thought I was gonna be pulverized." Leina said with a laugh.
"My Nanna is growing up so fast." Levy said while wiping away a fake tear.
"Nanna?!" Gray, Natsu, Lucy, Erza, and Happy asked with confused faces.
"Ever since we were little she's always called me that." Leina said with a sigh.
"Isn't what you would call an old lady?" Gray asked.
"That's why I call her that, she has a habit of acting like an old lady when she gets too comfortable." Levy said.
"I do not!" Leina said in defense.
"Hey, good job out there. You really know how to hold your ground." Laxus said as he stood behind Leina. She was so caught off guard that she couldn't do anything but smile up at him as he loomed over her.
"Well I'll be off, see you guys around. Oh yeah, Welcome to Fairy Tail Leina." Laxus said with a smirk on his face.
I hope you all like chapter 4 and don't forget to review and tell me what you think! I'm sorry that I'm so late but things haven't been going exactly as I had planned. My teacher is being a butt, some of my folks are really starting to tick me off, and I'm about five seconds from having a breakdown if I can't finish any of my stories. Enough about me though, see ya next chapter! Hopefully everything will start to get better once I get my laptop and I seal my door shut from any distractions.
