Tilong: It would be a waste not to give him god slayer magic that way he will be more unique, also fairy tail doesn't have a god slayer...so he would fit right in… As I have stated before I want Ichigo to learn simple but versatile magic while he learns his own powers (Quincy and hollow). This way he wouldn't have to focus more on one side than the other. Kinda like A Certain Magical Index and the spin-off animes. Misaka focuses on the science side, while Index focuses on the magical side, and Touma is in the middle. Focusing on both magic and science. I want Ichigo to be the same, but leaning over to his own powers and not magic. I want his magic to not be the main thing. Since his powers are unique and different from the Fairy Tail world.

I don't want others to decide or pressure me to write something I don't want. However, I do understand why people would be excited about god-slayer magic, it is unique. But, some characters have god-slayer magic, so what you said is incorrect. If you didn't know or don't remember Shelia and Zancrow are both god slayers.

But, despite what I have said. I have decided to add god-slayer magic into this story. I plan on this magic to only appear near the end of the story (Only near the end). This way I can write what I have envisioned while adding what some of you want into this. I also have come up with a way to how he will obtain it. I think this is fair. So I hope that a comment similar to this one will stop asking for it. I don't want to feel pressure writing something different from what I want. If you don't like it, you could just stop reading and write your own story. Sorry for the ramble, but I hope you understand.

Nearsighted: Cool to see Carla appear. Curious if you would expand more on her prophetic abilities and how Ichigo's presence has impacted what the future originally was in shopping mode canon. Not gonna lie, I completely forgot about Carla's ability. Yeah, I think it's a good idea to expand on this.

Chapter 12: Joining the guild

After Wendy's birthday, everyone in the village quickly learned and wanted to talk to the new feline cat. Many find the cat adorable, thinking it was easy to befriend her. However, the cat had no interest in becoming familiar with most of the people in the village. However, Carla had a hard time ignoring everyone's interests because the crowd was overwhelming. Despite her small body and cute looks, the cat can be strict and serious, rarely showing emotions. Many didn't find her behavior unusual and tried nonetheless. The only people who got along with the cat were Wendy and Mio. While Ichigo and the others only got familiar with her through small talk.

Still, her personality reminded Ichigo of many things in the past. He noted that her personality was opposite to Yoruichi, who was mostly carefree. Instead, she reminded him of Nanao. Even though they barely talked, he was able to tell she was a serious kind of person. Hearing most from Captain Kyoraku. He displayed an upsetting smile.

It had been 6 months since then and was currently July 16 X779. Ichigo's birthday had just passed and he had finally turned 11. Ichigo didn't have much expectation for his birthday. To be frank, he didn't really want to hold a massive party. Yet, others disagreed with his opinion and held one anyway. He did have a good time.

The 11-year-old boy was currently walking to Daisuke's barn. Since he turned 11, he was eligible to join the guild. Ichigo wanted to resign from working on the barn. He hasn't really informed Daisuke about this matter. Which was why he was heading to the barn. Near the end of the party, he informed everyone in the party that he was going to join the guild. Much to no one's surprise. Daisuke wasn't there, but his wife and daughter were there. So either of them might have informed Daisuke after the party. However, Ichigo believes he should have a good talk about it.

He had gotten used to the workload and it's not like he hated the job. But he didn't want to continue to spend his time working there. There was nothing wrong with the environment, or with the people working there. But he thinks there's a more preferable job. Hearing from Roubaul, a guild member gets paid depending on the job. Each job could vary in difficulty depending on the task. Thus determining how much the reward will be. Ichigo wanted to take the opportunity and experience the outside world. He could get to know more about the world he lives in. Not only that, he missed the action that comes with it.

He entered the barn and saw the workers doing their own thing. Some he was familiar with. They greeted him and he returned in the same manner. Some questioned why Ichigo came in, it was an hour earlier than usual. Ichigo answered their question before asking them a question.

"Do you know where Daisuke-san is?" Ichigo asked after answering some of their questions.

"I think I saw him somewhere near the field," one of them answered.

"..thanks" he waved everyone goodbye and walked to his next destination. As he wandered through the field, Daisuke was nowhere to be found. He heard water pouring nearby. Only to see Daisuke filling up a bucket using the water fountain.

"Oh, you're early today, how are you?"

"I'm doing fine, you?"

"I'm doing well, but I gotta ask, why are you here early, something happened?" he had a worried face, the boy never really talk about himself during work.

"...no, nothing happened, but I did come here to talk with you,"

"What would you like to talk about?"

"...I would like to resign from working here,"

"Is there somewhere else you want to work?" the man didn't seem too surprised by the boy's sudden announcement.

"I plan on joining the guild,"

"That so, I see," Daisuke silently said. "Mio did mention that you and your little sister wanted to join,"

"I just wanted to have a proper talk on this topic," he wasn't too surprised to hear his knowledge. "And I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me" after he said the last part, he bowed sincerely and said thank you once more.

"Whoa, you don't need to bow, I'll still see you around." he waved both his hands, trying to lighten up the mood, but he understood where the kid was coming from. "But…thank you for your service throughout the years."

Ichigo releases a small but hefty smile "Don't worry about it,"

"Is there anything else you want to talk about?"

"...no"

"Ok, if you ever want to work, here again, I'll leave you a spot…but other than that I hope you the best of luck,"

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind,"

"Alright," he picked up the bucket and started to walk to the fields. "I'll see you around, don't do anything dangerous alright,"

"..I'll try not to," his smile still plastered on his face.

(Later)

After talking with Daisuke, Ichigo made his way to the guildhall. He was going to meet up with Wendy and Carla there. It's been a while since the last time he went to the guild with Wendy. The two had only seen the inside of the building once. It was clean and organized. He thought there was a similarity to some Rpg games he had played in the past. Everyone was allowed to enter the building even at a young age. They just weren't allowed to join until an appropriate age. Because of how young the two were then, there was never a need to visit frequently.

As he was close to the entrance. He saw four people near the building. Two were Wendy and Carla, while the other two were Mio and Roubaul, who accompanied them. He was expecting Roubaul to be there, but he was somewhat confused to see Mio there. Maybe Wendy invited her to come with them, he didn't mind.

"Hi, Nii-san" Wendy was the first to notice. And thus expressed her happy state while everyone else looked towards Ichigo.

"Hey," Ichigo waved while walking inside the building, assuming everyone else will follow.

"Oh" Roubaul suddenly said grabbing everyone's attention. "We're not going inside," They all looked at the man with puzzled faces. "huh"

"We'll be going near the fields," he spoke once more, making everyone more confused. They didn't say much, just followed Roubaul in a nearby field. There weren't as many buildings. They didn't walk far from the guild.

"Why are we at the field?" Carla was the one to ask everyone's question. What was the purpose of coming here than the guild?

"Well I was hoping for Ichigo to have a sparring match," everyone was unaware of what Roubual had said.

"Huh"

"Sparring?" a woman asked

"...huh," Everyone seemed to notice a familiar voice and turned around to see Anisa displaying a scowling face. Ichigo didn't show as much surprise as everyone else around him.

"So this is what you called me for," the wife said to Roubaul. Mostly annoyed than angry for the lack of information her husband provided. Roubual apologizes repeatedly for his secrecy. He didn't inform her she was going to fight Ichigo. Everyone asked Roubaul what was going on.

"I plan on Ichigo to spar with Anisa,"

"Why?" Wendy, Carla, and Mio asked. Fighting a frail old woman didn't seem right. Ichigo had the biggest advantage. They were concerned about her health. Not only that, she wasn't a guildmember. So Anisa shouldn't be participating.

"There was no one available to spar with Ichigo. And it's also been a while since Anisa last fought. I thought she would enjoy it." the man answered honestly. "If you're concerned about Anisa, you shouldn't, she is experienced in fighting. I would know." the old man sweated, remembering the times the two had spent. The three were a bit skeptical and worried.

"She's experienced?" Ichigo noted to himself. He shouldn't judge a book by its cover. "I probably should keep my guard,"

"I didn't know I was going to fight Ichigo," Anisa said to Roubaul. Everyone was surprised by her input, except for her husband. Roubaul had only told her that she was going to discipline someone for misbehaving.

"Sorry" he apologized once more. He explained that if he would have told her beforehand. She wouldn't have accepted his request. He knew that Anisa had a soft spot for the children. He promised to repair her back.

"You better keep that promise," she hissed at him.

"...I thought you said there were no trials?" Ichigo was the next to ask. He wasn't so fixated on the spar itself.

"...Yes, I did say that there were no trials. But that was 2 years ago. Everyone who is the same age as you are aware of the rules and would go with another person for safety reasons. But I changed it only a couple of months ago." he elaborated "As the guild master, I am worried about the safety of the children."

"Anyone can pass the trial regardless if they don't do well. I'm only holding a trial because it helps me know the capabilities of different guildmates," he reassured. Mostly towards Wendy and Mio. "I do not doubt your abilities. Wendy once said that the three of you once beat a silverback. But I want to see that skill for myself. Only because of the promise I made with Jellal to look after you."

Upon hearing his reasoning, Ichigo and Wendy understand the man's intentions. Mio remembered their talk back when the guild was first announced. While Carla recognized the name only because Wendy had mentioned it before. She recalled her telling their first encounter with Jellals and their travels.

"...alright," he didn't mind there being a trial. This was the perfect excuse to see how far his training has gotten him.

"Are there any rules?" Anisa spoke. She had never participated in a trial before. Nor help the guild in any way, since she isn't a guildmember.

"You two of you are allowed to use your magic and weapons, try to hold back a bit since this is only a spar. Whoever falls downs first, loses," he explained. "Any questions?"

"Are there any boundaries?" Ichigo asked.

As the question was asked Roubaul snapped his finger. A red outline of a square formed next to them. Spreading across the field. It looked to be less than a quarter of a football field. "Just this area"

Ichigo nodded his head, surprised to see how big the boundaries were. He didn't think they needed this much space. "Is there a time limit?"

The man moved his hand to his chin. Displaying a thinking expression. "...let's say five minutes, does that work with you two?"

The two nodded in confirmation. Roubaul asked the two to go to either side of the field while the others stayed. The fighters stood a few feet from each other.

Before they could start, they hear a voice come out from one of the girls. "Nii-san, don't push yourself too hard, ok," Wendy shouted.

"Good luck," Roubaul waved at the two, while Carla was silent.

"Don't hurt Anisa-san too hard." Mio quietly said to them, The two heard everything they had to say. "Be careful Anisa-san"

"I'm not going to kill her," He thought to himself with a sigh. "It's just a spar" he wasn't going to use his Zanpakuto. Looking back at Anisa, he, Wendy, Mio, and Carla saw her summoned 2 fans in her arms, both radiating magic. He never expected the women to use this kind of weapon. He wasn't going to criticize. Throughout the two years, he's been here. He still wasn't experienced in magic. He didn't know if he could learn magic.

Before Ichigo could analyze any further. Both himself and Roubaul noticed a hint of annoyance on Anisa's face. They both sweated as he saw a tick mark forming on Anisa's head. She was smiling, but they didn't see anything but anger. They knew that Wendy and the others cared for her safety. But it seemed like that annoyed her. They were probably implying that she was weak. She was irritated by the implication and they were able to see that. But they disregarded the idea since this was only a spar. Not a death battle. She should be mature about this.

"Hurry up and start it," Anisa said with a smile.

"Oh…right…3,2,1 begin!"

As the both of them heard the man's word. Ichigo quickly dashed toward Anisa. Wanting to be the first to strike. He winds up for a punch. Until an unexpected course of action was taken by the woman. Before Ichigo could get close enough, Anisa jumped back creating a large distance between the two. Catching everyone by surprise. They thought she would counter-attack using her fans.

"Blaze magic…" Anisa muttered opening both her fan's "...fireworks". 5 fiery particles formed on the top of each fan quickly forming into fireworks. She swung her arms in different directions, launching the fireworks at the boy. One pair of fireworks shot towards Ichigo, while the other was above him. (Just think of it like Tighnari ult from Genshin Impact)

Ichigo was surprised by the projectiles that came at him. Despite the distance between the two, the attack was surprisingly fast. He quickly stopped in his track and jumped back. The fireworks landed on the ground causing a big explosion. Crackling sounds could be heard upon the impact. Some screamed at the sudden explosion. Everyone was surprised by how much power was behind the attack. Even Roubaul didn't expect her to fire off such a strong attack out of the get-go. He said to the two to hold back. He didn't expect Anisa to be so affected by what Mio said.

Ichigo thought this was a spar. But seeing how her attack was displayed, that idea was quickly disregarded. Beyond the smoke, two more pairs of fireworks were shot. Ichigo's reflexes kicked in and he quickly dodge the attack by jumping to the right. Anisa continued to fling the attacks at him, he avoided all of them. Ichigo was surprised she was able to dish out so many attacks so quickly. He knew he wasn't getting anywhere.

"She's keeping her distance" the boy quickly noticed. "I need to close the distance"

The boy decided to stop dodging and instead rush at the attacker using flash step. Everyone paid attention to the boy's dodging until suddenly he seemingly vanished.

"How on earth?!" Carla expressed with widened eyes. While everyone else including Anisa was caught off guard.

No one was able to see Ichigo blitzing through the attack without any scratches. In a blink of an eye, Ichigo appeared in front of Anisa. Everyone was astonished by the boy's speed. Wendy was the only one who knew how fast he was, but she didn't expect him to be this fast.

"What the-," Anisa thought was interrupted as Ichigo launched an attack. She closed her arms in an attempt to block the attack. Only barely successfully doing so. As the attack landed on the fans, he noted how sturdy the weapon was. And her reflexes were surprisingly fast. The attack had a lot of weight on it. He thrust his arm further. Knocking her back by the overwhelming pressure. He continued to follow through with his attacks, throwing out kicks and punches. Only for Anisa to barely parry all of the attacks.

As Anisa struggled with Ichigo's constant attack. She quickly jumped back trying to make space. She coated one of her fans with magic. "Blaze magic… spiraling flames" she voiced out, spinning her fans to create two waves of flames at the boy. He couldn't dodge in time because of the short distance she jumped. The spell landed directly at the boy and carried him across the field, lastly causing an explosion.

"Nii-san/Ichigo-san/Ichigo!" Everyone cried out to Ichigo as the attack landed. Wendy rushed to the explosion with the intention to heal Ichigo. While everyone else followed. But they were stopped when a strong breeze came from the smoke. The breeze seemed to blow away the smoke. Wendy and everyone else saw the smoke quickly fading away only for Ichigo's body slowly visible through the dust. He swiped his hand out, clearing out the remaining smoke. They saw his clothing damaged, but other than that, he seemed okay.

"...I'm fine," he said for everyone to hear. As he brushed the dust off of himself. "I can keep going," his gaze unchanged. Ichigo didn't need to block the attack with his hands. He could've used his Zanpakuto, that way he didn't have others to worry about him. But he didn't particularly feel the need to. All because he wanted to see if he had gotten strong enough to block the attack without the help of his weapon.

"A-are you ok?" Carla and Mio asked, he didn't seem to be wounded. Even Roubaul and Carla were speechless.

"Yeah"

"B-but" Wendy stuttered. True there wasn't any blood or injuries, but she didn't want to see her brother hurt. She was reminded of his stubbornness back when they fought the Silverback.

"You shouldn't push yourself Ichigo," Roubaul spoke his mind, relieved to see that he was alright. Shooting back his gaze at Anisa. Only for her to look away. She knew why he was looking at her like that.

"...I'll be fine," he said before notifying Anisa to continue. "You don't need to worry,"

"B-be careful ok?"

A smile slowly appeared "..I will"

Everyone stepped back and stayed quiet as the two continued to fight.

"...I-I can't believe he was unharmed by that attack," Carla remarked. Only for everyone else to nod to her astonishment. Everyone greatly underestimated his strength. The two fighters lost track of time.

Ichigo was amazed by Anisa's abilities, as they continued. He expected her to grow tired quickly, only showing signs of slight exhaustion. Shortly after they resume their "spar". Ichigo would pressure Anisa into the defense. Everyone knew she was getting uncomfortable fighting in close combat.

She swung her fan towards the floor. Causing a burst of attack and creating a smokescreen. The sudden attack caught Ichigo off guard. He wasn't prepared for the sudden move.

"Why did Anisa do that?" the two girls asked. They weren't experience nor understand why the woman seem to attack the floor. It could have hurt the two.

"She did it to distract and keep her distance away from Ichigo," Carla stated, focusing on the fight.

He shouldn't linger in for too long he thought to himself. He quickly got out of the smoke and saw her casting another spell. He saw her fans up in the air. "Blaze magic…Bow of inferno" a fiery bow quickly formed on her hand. While two arrows were in her other hand. She placed one arrow onto the bow and fire it. Before the arrow was able to land, he swiftly moved to the left. He looked at the arrow that had just passed by. He looked back and saw the second arrow in front of him.

For an instance, Ichigo was reminded of his fight with Ulquiorra. When he threw two spears of Lanza del Relampago, he was barely able to react to it back then. True, the arrow Anisa fired was nowhere near as fast as Ulquiorra. But his mind went back to an instance similar to his predicament. This time, however, he was able to react, catching the arrow with his bare hand and crushing it. Everyone's jaw dropped as they saw how good his reflexes were.

Much to everyone's surprise, they were all able to see Ichigo's mouth curved upwards. For some reason, Ichigo felt energetic. Ichigo rarely smiles, but seeing him like this confused them. Anisa was the only one who knew why he was smiling. The boy himself hasn't noticed.

He was enjoying the fight. Seemingly longed for some action and the adrenaline was kicking in. She displayed a smile of her own. "You sure are full of surprises," she said, sweat slowly flowing down her head.

"The same could be said for you."

As the quick exchange finished. The two rushed towards each other, much to everyone's surprise. They didn't expect Anisa to fight head-on, but those who are experienced in fighting knew that was the right course of action. If Ichigo could close the distance easily, there was no point in backing away.

"Blaze magic…fire fury" she coated her fans with fire before thrashing out at Ichigo. She wasn't confident in fighting close combat. She was much more familiar with fighting at a distance. Regardless of the experience she still fought.

"W-why isn't he using his sword?" Wendy asked on the sidelines. Anisa chose to fight close. Seeing Anisa using her fans as a weapon and Ichigo with his bare hands. She would have thought Ichigo would use his weapon, but he didn't. She became worried. Everyone was stunned to hear her question. Both Mio and Carla weren't aware of Ichigo's weapon. But if what she said was true, why isn't he using it?

"Blaze magic spiraling flames," they heard Anisa cast a previous spell. She planned on firing it at close range. Before the attack was launched Ichigo kicked the fans into the air, leaving her wide over. He delivered another kick. She blocked it but was launched back.

She regained her footing and swiftly created a new set of fans. This time, Anisa cast a stronger attack. Ichigo noticed Anisa was short on breath. The magic she was pouring into her fan was more than before. A ball of fire presented itself between the two fans. Ichigo was going to attack before it could happen. But the attack grew alarming fast. Roubaul was the other person who noticed the amount she was using. He knew what Anisa's next attack going to be.

"Anisa, don't!" Roubaul suddenly yelled out, getting everyone's attention, including Ichigo. The boy halted his movement to look at the chief. He must know something.

"If Ichigo can avoid this, he passes," Anisa yelled back at Roubaul. "Unless he gives up," the woman stared at Ichigo. She wasn't mocking him, more like she wanted him to take the challenge. The husband was going to continue but was interrupted by the girls who kept showing concern and questions.

"W-what is Anisa going to do?"

"...She's going to attack Ichigo with her strongest attack, a meteor," he said "It's not actually a humungous meteor that comes from space, no one could do that," he thought, he didn't think he needed to clarify.

"A meteor!" Everyone shouted, and Ichigo remained calm. "I stand corrected" he quickly clarified.

"...So if I dodge… I pass." Ichigo looked unfazed as the attack was getting larger and slowly floated over the woman's head. "...I'm not going to avoid it."

Everyone absorbed the information, and they were flabbergasted. Anisa glanced at the oranged-haired boy. She wouldn't have had it any other way. She continued to gather more magic.

Carla angrily shouted at him "Don't be ridiculous, avoid it!", not seeing the reason why he was being stubborn.

"Ichigo-san" Mio shrieked.

"Just dodge it, there's no need to get yourself hurt! You already passed the trial," the man stated, trying to convince the boy to move.

"...I won't move"

"Why!" they failed to see the reason.

"True, this is dumb…but I'll accept the challenge."

"What challenge?! She said to avoid it, not stand there!" the white cat yelled.

"...I want to see how far I have gone in terms of strength…this is the perfect opportunity," he didn't look back at everyone, he continued to stare at the ball of fire. Noticing rocks inside the ball.

"Don't be foolish, powers and brains are two different things, you shouldn't be fight head-on!" The cat persisted.

"If Jellal was here, do you think he would allow this?" Roubaul tried to reason,

Ichigo stayed quiet as the name was mentioned, he didn't really know how to answer that question. "...he probably won't, but he also might, who knows." he wasn't actually here to give his opinion on the matter.

"Nii-san!" Wendy shouted out, expressing her fear, that this might be the only chance for him to change his action.

"...Wendy, I'll be fine…you don't need to worry…"

"Nii-san!" this time, she said in a more frustrated tone. Everyone was surprised by the girl's tone. They've never seen her in this kind of mood before. "You better not get hurt!"

"Wendy!" Carla shouted at her, but her expression did not change.

Ichigo stared at his little sister, surprised to see her stop preventing what he was going to do. Instead, it looked like he was given permission. "Yeah"

Looking back at the "meteor", it had grown enormous. Ichigo was impressed by how much Anisa had gathered in that little amount of time. He could always avoid it using the flash step, but he figured Anisa thought the attack was hard to avoid because of the surface area. But he didn't want to run away. "You ready?" Anisa asked, displaying a small smile.

"Yeah" he replied, positioning himself.

"Blaze magic…Meteor extinction!" She used all of her remaining strength to throw the meteor at Ichigo. (Imagine her throwing a spirit bomb)

As the meteor slowly approached the boy. Everyone screamed at the boy to dodge it. Their last chance. Wendy, on the other hand, held her breath. She didn't want to distract Ichigo. She knew she wouldn't be able to convince him.

The boy could feel the heat rapidly getting closer. Everyone's cries slowly became quieter. Ichigo used his right hand and reached over to his left hip.

He took a breath in

He took a breath out

"Zangetsu" he whispered,

The next thing they knew, the meteor seemed to lose its structure. The meteor was suddenly deforming, and the ball was split into two. It made its way to the floor behind Ichigo. 2 explosions were set off as they made contact. Everyone covered their eyes and ears, as a gust of wind blew at them. The sound of an earthquake-like noise was heard.

They all looked back at Ichigo. They were amazed and speechless as they saw the boy seemingly cut the meteor with no effort at all. His arm and sword were over him, seemingly relaxed. Mio and Carla looked at Ichigo's Zanpakuto. This was the first time they have ever seen the sword.

Wendy's and the other girl's legs lost all of their strength. Falling to the ground on her knees. Wendy let out a shaky breath. Her eyes tearing up. She was relieved to see her older brother alright.

"...I surrendered" Anisa let out a sigh of defeat. She barely had enough strength to stand. Ichigo didn't say anything, he only nodded. Acknowledging her statement.

The chief walked to the two as they finished their exchange. "Don't ever worry us like that again…you chose to do something absurd, you could've gotten hurt…" Ichigo looked at the man's expression. It was a mix of anxiety and worry. But, he saw a happier emotion coming out of his face.

"But…you were able to show us you have the ability to surpass any limits…and thus…you pass, "

Not gonna lie, I did not expect to write this much for this chapter, but who cares. I just wanted to say that some of the names I have chosen for some moves in this chapter might sound cringe and I'm sorry if you thought that. And I hope that people enjoyed this chapter.
