A/N Sorry for the long wait I've just been overwhelmed with school and stuff... but anyway please enjoy! This chapter is a bit longer than the other! :3
So, mages have a birthmark. All of them. Right on our necks. Everyone's is different but non-magic people don't have one at all. Mine looks like a cross. I don't know how or why because usually they correspond with your magic. I use Solid Script and a cross has nothing to do with it...
Oh, I should probably explain that too. Mavis, I'm getting ahead of myself... there are different types of magic. Mine is the ability to make words become reality. For example, if I said "iron," while using my magic obviously, the word would appear made out of iron. There's definitely more magical than that, though. Lu has Celestial Spirit magic. She collects keys that give her the ability to open the gates to the Celestial Spirit World and summon a spirit that's based off of a constellation. There's even more too: Natsu has Fire Dragon Slayer magic, Gray has Ice Devil Slayer magic, Erza has Requip Magic, and so on and so on.
Anyway, all of this information brings us to my current situation. I'm actively running for my life. Why? Oh, just because someone tried to mug me, saw my mark, and bolted, running for the Council office that's down the street. Now, a bunch of Council officers are chasing after me.
I know this probably doesn't sound that bad to you. After all, I've been training my whole life. I can easily outrun them. But, you see, now they've seen my face. I cant go out into public now because they'll all start chasing me. Just great.
Alright then, now I need a plan...
I look around to see if there are any alleys. Oh look, there isn't. Ok, any vehicles? Nope. Then I'll just wing it I guess... I push over a bunch of crates and bins (cliche I know... don't judge) and then watch my pursuers trip and fall. Wow, I've always wanted to do that. Now I have to get back to Fairy Tail.
I pull out a Teleport Lacrima and adjust it to the guild's location. Hitting the big, Blue button I reopen my eyes and I'm outside the large tavern like building. A large sign overhead says in giant, red letters "Fairy Tail" with our insignia right beside it. The guild is located in the middle of a very dense forest. This makes it easier for us not to get found.
As I walk in the doors I have to duck to avoid getting hit by a flying table as the guild's daily brawl takes place. When my guild mates saw me shortsighted greeting vs that I'm very used to by now.
"Levy! You're back! I thought you were gonna stay in Hargeon tonight." Lucy beckoned me to come sit with her, Natsu, Gray, and Erza.
"Um... I was but I kinda got found out by some guy. The Council guys saw my face and I teleported here as fast as I could," I stated. Everyone in the vicinity turned to look at me worryingly.
"Levy, are you sure you're okay?" Erza asked in her nicest tone possible... It was still kinda intimidating.
Yes, Erza, I'm fine," I smile at them all reassuringly and go ask Mirajane, our bartender and also an S-Class mage, for my usual breakfast, "Mira! Can I have an omelet, bacon, and a chocolate milk, please?"
"Sure thing, Levy! Have you seen the new Sorcerer Weekly issue?" She responded with the smile that she's famous for.
"No, why?"
"Well, you," She began pulling the magazine out of her purse, "are in it!"
I looked at her like she was crazy. There was no way that anyone as, well, unknown as me could appear in the magazine for mages. I grabbed it and flipped through the pages until I saw my name. I froze. Right in the center of the magazine, where the rankings are, was my picture. It read:
Top Ten of Fiore's Cutest Mages
10. Chelia Blendy
9. Eve Tearm
8. Romeo Conbolt
7. Kinana
6. Charle
5. Happy
4. Frocsh
3. Wendy Marvell
2. Asuka Connel
1. Levy McGarden
Instantly I wanted to cry. I've never been mentioned anywhere in Sorcerer Weekly and then I just suddenly pop up. In the Cute Mage section too! Apparently I'm cuter than a six year old! Instead of putting a 17 year old in the "Mages I'd Like to Date" section they put me in the "Cutest Mages" section. I a actually going to murder Jason, the head editor and writer for Sorcerer Weekly.
Speaking of him, he's coming in today today to do some interviews. Oh he's definitely getting a piece of my mind...
