Hello I'm back with another chapter for some weird reason, mainly cause I'm bored. This chapter will mostly be focused around Kazuki's decisions following the Daybreak Arc.
Warning, minor time skip from where we left off to about a day later just to give a heads up ahead of time.
Now lets jump into this Chapter shall we?!
Chapter 4: New Goals; New Dreams
-Magnolia-
(" " is regular talking)
(' ' is regular thinking)
(Also I'm gonna try to write from 3rd person, I never was a fan of 1st person)
Kazuki wakes up to the buzzing sound of his alarm going off. He slowly opens his eyes before glaring at his alarm and using his magic to smash the alarm into pieces.
Somehow you can still here the muffled sound of the buzzing going off. "...Even when I break it.." The Devil Slayer says annoyed. He gets up out his bed and looks out his window.
"Good suns still down" He says looking at the moon and the black night. He walks towards the bathroom and brushing his teeth,"Is there a reason your up so early?" Xenovik says tiredly.
'Yes, as of today I start my training to become a better Wizard both magic and physically!' He replies in his head. Xenovik grunts,"Could never understand human ambition..."
Kazuki ignores him before taking a quick shower and putting on some gray sweatpants and a Dark Purple Shirt. "Now all that's left is... Where to train?" He says to himself.
He shrugs and walks out his house locking the door behind him before heading towards the direction on the Guild,'To think this City is always active, at night it's so quiet for how many people love here'
Once Kazuki reaches the guild he stares at it before noticing a forest behind it. 'I guess I can go out into the forest to train' He thinks before walking into the forest.
"I should get a good distance away from the town" Kazuki says before walking even deeper into the forest. Once he gets a good distance away he sits on the grass and summons his magic.
"So I can do three things so far... Hammer, Sweep, and Bellow..." Kazuki says getting into a deep thought. 'Hey Xenovik is it possible for me to make some kind of cool explosion!' I think.
"I don't know? Mostly like though, my name is The Ruin Devil King" Xenovik says plainly. Kazuki sighs before looking at a nearby tree slump,'Magic... the ability to make your dreams come true...'
He place both my hands out infront of me as I put alot of stress and focus on pushing my magic out my hands. Instead of something like a beam of Purple and Black happening, instead a purple and black magic circle appears under the slump before exploding.
"Well then.. That works!" Kazuki says smiling. "Sadly my reserves aren't the best I'm Basically a glass canon" Kazuki says to realization of his flaws.
'But I will get stronger and that's a promise!' Kazuki thinks. He looks at the trees around him,"These will do"
He walks infront of the tree's and punches it once as hard as he can. He end up only being able to make a dent in it.
-3 hours Later-
It's now morning a certain Strauss is walking towards the Guild. While walking up the stairs sees flashes of Purple and Black. "What's going on?" Mira says confused.
She looks behind the Guild and realizes that the flashes are coming from the forest. "Guess having a look wouldn't hurt?" She says as she walks into the forest as the flashes only get bigger and bigger.
Mira stops behind a tree and looks at Kazuki,'Kazuki is the one behind this?!' She thinks in shock. Kazuki is currently seeing how big he can manafest his magic. "Hmm this should work" Kazuki says.
To Mira's suprise he jumps fairly high into the air,"Hametsu Akama: Bero(Ruin Devils: Bellow) He says before shooting a beam similar to Natsu's Roar out his mouth towards some trees.
'Amazing' Mira thinks smiling,'But how did he get so strong'. Kazuki lands on the ground effortlessly and wipes the sweat off his face. He jumps up on a thick tree before placing his foot upside down on the branch and doing Sit ups.
"100.. Curls... Come on!" He says as if he's talking to his own body. Mira looks at him shocked and confused,'He's a Madman! Who in there right mind would do 100 of anything nonstop!'
As Mira is watching she starts to notice him slow down,"...Come on body. Don't give up now!" He shouts not trying to give up. But sadly for him his will isn't enough as his legs give in and lose their balance as he falls.
"Kazuki!" Mira says rushing towards him as she tries catch him but only ends up stumbling down siting on the floor with his head in her lap. "Have you been watching me this whole time?" He says tiredly.
"Kinda only for the last 5 minutes" Mira says smiling at him. Kazuki sighs before staring at the cloud,"Great, so now you know I'm pathetic too" He says lowly.
Mira looks at him still smiling,"Are you crazy your not pathetic you've actually gotten pretty strong. I don't know how but I can see you've been out here for a long time seeing as alot if tree's are either destroyed or barely left in tact" Mira says which makes him look at her.
"Do you really mean that?" Kazuki says with his Purple eyes gazing into her soul. Mira nods,"Of course besides your strong and pretty cute. It's a good combo" She says smiling.
'Why the hell did I just say that?!' Mira thinks in her head. Kazuki nods before standing up,"I should probably go home and freshen up" He says looking at his ripped pants and ripped shirt.
Mira giggles at the point that now he realizes. "Have fun Baka" Mira says watching him leave and going to what she assumes to be his house. Mira smiles before making her way towards the guild.
"He is pretty cute..." She says before shaking her head as the thought exits her head as she walks towards the Guild.
-30 minutes Later; Fairytail Guild Hall-
"Hey Mira three beers over here" Wakaba calls out to the Strauss. Mira turns to face him,"Coming" She replies.
"So when can me and you go on a date?" Wakaba says looking up and down at the beautiful woman. Mira smiles,"Well there is a slight problem.." Mira says before using her transformation magic to turn into a woman.
"Your married" the now transformed Mira says to Wakaba as he grunts and takes his beer. "I wish I could drink in peace for once" Cana says as Macao agrees.
"I guess we should go find another job..." Natsu says looking at space. "Aye! More money means more food!" Happy states biting more fish.
'I wish this Guild was more quiet, then maybe I could sleep better' Kazuki thinks laying his back against a couch looking at someone from far away. "Big brother!" Kazuki hears a voice says as he feels someone jump into his lap.
He looks at the person to find it to be Lucy,"Ya know you can really stop calling me that" The Devil Slayer says plainly. No one knows how or why, but Lucy started calling Kazuki big brother ever since they've gotten back.
"Nope" She says shaking her head playfully. Lucy stares at him before noticing his attention is focused on someone else,"Who are looking at?" Lucy says looking at his eyes trying to match where is gaze was at.
Once she matched the gaze her eyes are focus on Mirajane. She turns back to him,"Are you staring at Mirajane?!" Lucy shouts as Kazuki covers her mouth as the Mirajane part is muffled.
"Kinda..." He replies putting his head down on the couch. "Awwww that's so cute, so you going to ask her out" Lucy says as stars start to form in her eyes. Kazuki raises an eyebrow and opens his left eye looking at Mira before closing it.
"Nope" Kazuki says as the Stars in Lucy's eyes shatter in into pieces. "Why not!" Lucy says confused at his actions. "She's just simply out of my league" He says.
"What! Have you seen yourself, your not that bad. Besides Mirajane is beautiful you can't just say that" Lucy says trying to reason with him.
He shrugs his shoulder as she gets off him,"I swear you'll get nowhere with that attitude." Lucy walks away but Kazuki hears her mumble something,"Has an unholy will to get stronger, but none for himself."
Kazuki sighs,'She's right... I am an empty shell. Frankly I have no real ambitions or goals. The only goals I have is to become the best Wizard in the world. But sadly they aren't even mine... It's Irina's legacy' He thinks.
'Maybe I do need ambition for myself...' He thinks before standing up. I walk upstairs into Masters office before getting a communication Lacrima from his desk.
The Lacrima opens as I try to reach Gramps,"Yes?" Makarov says answering on the final ring. "Hey sorry if your busy but I need to ask you a seriuos question" Kazuki says to him.
"I got time.. What is it my boy?" Makarov replies. "What's your ambition, what keeps you moving forward even if it seems impossible?" Kazuki ask.
Makarov thinks deeply about his answer,"Well personally I believe that what keeps me going is the will to protect the people I hold dear. Before I was the Guild master the 2nd Guild master once told me,"For a long time I thought that a person strongest weapon was their fist.. I was wrong, it's there heart"
"While your fist will save you when your in trouble, your heart will guide you in the right direction before you will ever have to use your fist. Your heart should always be focused on your friends and family. Only then will you find true power once you believe not in getting stronger for yourself, but for the people you care about so they can live better" Makarov finishes smiling as Kazuki is shocked by the amount of wisdom the 2nd Guild master had.
Kazuki nods,"Thank you... I needed that" Makarov nods,"Anything I can do to help. But I better get going see ya soon" He says before cutting off communications.
Kazuki smiles before exiting his office and looking at everyone before looking at Mira smiling. Suddenly Loke slams the door open,"ERZA IS COMMING!" He shouts as the guild gets into a mass panic.
Kazuki glares at the door interested to see what got everyone so scared, I see a Red headed girl with armor covering her from her neck to her feet. "I've returned where is Makarov?" She says looking around.
I see Mira about to say something as I sit on the rail interested in her Erza's personality,"He's at the Guild meeting" Mira responds cheerfully.
"I see.." She says before turning her head to a boy asking her about the giant horn she has. "It's the horn of a monster I defeated, the locals allowed me to keep it" Erza replies to him.
"Now listen up!" She says loudly as everyone starts to get tense,'Why is everyone so scared of her?' Kazuki thinks to himself. "While I was on the road I heard some news, word is fairytail had been causing nothing but trouble."
"Makarov may not care but I certainly do, Cana you to start controlling your drinking. Vijeeter stop dancing, Wakaba quit smoking inside the guild hall. Nab... PICK A DAMN JOB!" Erza shouts.
"...Macao..." She says not saying anything but sighing. 'So this is the Erza everyone is so scared of' Kazuki thinks. She starts talking to Natsu and Gray about helping her out with something.
"So this is Erza? The Queen of the Fairies?" Kazuki says as everyone else stares at him. "Hmm?" Erza says as he catches her attention as she stares at him. Kazuki stares... No glares back at get before jumping off the railing and onto the ground.
The two never release eye contact with each other,"Does he have a death wish?!" Someone says. "Well he had balls to do this" Gray says.
Kazuki glares at her and Erza glares back walking towards each other. Suddenly half the room in filled in a Purple and Black aura, while other one has a bright Yellow aura.
Once inches from each others faces it seems as if niether of them plan to back down, Kazuki raises his hands full of magic as Erza does the same. Then, just as quickly as it happened both magic pressure from the room disappears as they both shake hands smiling at each other.
"Pleasure to meet you" They both say smiling at each other. "So.. Does that mean no fight?" Cana says ready to start the betting process. They both shake their heads,"Nah besides Erza would beat me easily" Kazuki says.
"Oh yeah, Names Kazuki Mizaki!" He says to Erza. "Erza Scarlet." The two exchange in a side ways hug as they both look at everyone. "NOW WHERE WERE WE!" They say together glaring at everyone.
"...Did they just?" Lucy says dumbstruck. Mira nods sweatdroping,"Yes they did, Erza and Kazuki are now bff's... All over a test of power and strength. They'll get along just fine.. To our discomfort" Mira says sighing.
A/N: So ya bff's between Erza and Kazuki, I was planning to have that be with Lucy but I just imagined there relationship similar to what I would imagine to be Irina.
So ya Fairytail Strongest woman and Fairytails Strongest Devil Slayer are now best friends. Lets see how much Fairytail will suffer. Rate and Review.
