Choosing a flyer… and a team

Chapter 6

I had been in the guild for about a week or so. And I had decided it was time for me to take my first job even though Zeke wasn't here yet.

"hhmm… what to choose what to choose," I thought out load. I was currently standing next to Nab at the request board looking at the different missions. People really needed a lot of help these days. But that was a good thing. Us wizards needed to make a living somehow. There was everything from helping escort a VIP, to eradicating a demon or another massive being. Put out a never-ending flame that's nearing a town. Find a monster nest and destroy it. There were even some really weird ones like helping with cooking for a family get-together or fix a lachrima-vision. Why did you need a wizard for that?

"You can't decide either?" Nab asked.

"No I was just looking at the different kinds of jobs to find something to do for my first mission."

Something caught my eye. It was an old job in between some newer ones. It read 'a dark guild known as greed eagle has taken over our town please come help us' Reward 1.000.000 jewel. Class: A-S

I took it with me and walked up to the bar.

"Oi Mira is this job still relevant I looks kind of old."

"Yes it is every month I take down the ones that have been done by other guild or have simply gone away."

"Alright then I think I will take this one if that's okay." I handed her the flyer

"Sure but I can't let you go alone. Since this one is potential S-class you need an S-class wizard with you."

"I see, I'll go find a partner." I looked around when I realized that I didn't know any of the S-class wizards that well. From what I knew, Erza was s-class and so was Mira and Laxus of course. But who else was S-class. I heard about someone named Gildarts but he wasn't around most of the time. What if…

"Hey Mira I don't know if it's allowed but can I just take a whole team of two or three other than me is it allowed if none of us are s-class."

"Well if the master allows it sure."

"Alright, thanks, Hey Sapphire wanna go on a mission with me," she had just walked in the door and I was already talking to her. I must have looked and sounded so desperate.

"Oh, good morning Sapphire how are you this fine morning?" she said in her best impression of me.

"Sorry that came a little out of nowhere, let's try again. Good morning Sapphire how are you this fine morning?"

"I'm fine thank you for asking. What were you saying about a mission?"

"Oh right," I took out the flyer and handed it to her

"Yeah I'll join you, but it says here it's an S-class mission."

"Mira says if the master grants it we can go without an S-class but we need more people,"

"I could ask my team. We're called hyper-blade."

"That. Sounds. Amazing."

"We are three members do you think that would suffice?"

"That will to just fine," she walked off and I saw her talking to two other guild members. It was a boy and a girl. They were both our age. The boy's hair was a weird mix of red and orange not quite as red as Erzas but not as orange as Loki's. And yes I have meet Loki he hangs around every once in a while. He had red eyes and he was wearing an open dark red vest and nothing underneath. He was certainly ripped. His pants were a little like mine but they were yellow. For some reason he had a fingerless glove with on his left hand but not on the right. Judging from his clothes, I would guess he used fire magic. But I shouldn't judge him by his clothes. The girl had silver-like hair and it even kind of shined. At the bottom of her hair, it slowly turned gold. In addition, she had some pink and green stripes. She had big green eyes. She was wearing a simple shirt that really emphasized on her pretty generous chest. On her right arm, she had a bracelet with a star on it. She looked like a typical teenager but her hair was definitely, what set her apart. She looked so cheerful and nice. They seemed like nice people. Sapphire looked over at me and I took it as a come-over look.

"Everyone, this is Jack. Jack this is Kai and Silver." She said clearly excited about me meeting her team.

"Hello it's nice to meet both of you."

"Yeah sure."

"KAI, do not be mean. What he really means is it is good to meet you too. Sapphire will not stop talking about you," as she said that she winked at me.

"I see," I smiled a little.

"Well I need some exercise so sure I'll join your mission. Besides, I have nothing better to do. I hope you're strong cause I won't hold your hand."

"You got it… Kai was it? I won't lose. In fact I bet I can beat up more wizards than you," I said taunting him. Just too, establish that I was not afraid of him.

"Hah. Yeah right! You're on new kid. The loser has to ask another guild member on a date. And it has to be another guy," We both reached out our hand and made the cup handshake to make the challenge official.

"I will join you as well. It could be fun," Silver said. I hope she knew what she was getting into, because she sure didn't sound like it.

"So this will be our team. Myself Sapphire Gemstone. Kai Astro. Silver wildfire. And Jack Greyhound. That sure is a collection of names huh." Sapphire said jokingly. We walked to Makarovs office

"Yes, please come in my children. Tell me what you need of me I will happily help you," I stood forwards

"Yes well I found this old flyer, and I wanted to take this mission, but it says that it's a potential S-class mission, so I asked Mira what I should do, and she said that if I found a good team and asked you we could go, so I was wondering if you would allow us to go please, this is my first mission I want it to be something worth remembering." I talked really fast.

"well I don't know if I can allow that… Oh Kai. Well if you have an S-class wizard with you, than you don't need my permission. But good luck anyway my children. Please return safely," he sent me one of his big smiles.

"Thank you master."

"Please call me gramps. That's what they all do," something just occurred to me. Had I really just challenged an S-class wizard to a bet on strength? I was so screwed. I wonder whom I should ask out, Maybe Natsu.

"Thank you anyway master," I bowed and we left the room. I could hear he made a last comment before we closed the door.

"You don't have to bow to me my child."

"How come you never told me you were S-class that's kind of an important detail? Do you know how embarrassing that was," I was really mad at him but he just laughed.

"Yeah, it was hilarious haha."

"So when do you wanna leave for the mission."

"Well since it is an S-class we will need time to prepare. So maybe tomorrow" Silver purposed.

"Sure I have a move I need to perfect anyway," I said. It was settled then. My first mission would start tomorrow. I was certain that it would be an adventure worth remembering.

My very first achievement as an official member of Fairy tail!
