Fairy Tail: Magic Gamer Chapter 17, a private fanfic

Chapter 17

Once I was done working on my Magic, I went ahead and cooked breakfast for everyone, including the kids, which is why I made sure to make some extra today.

The girls began stirring awake, and I greeted them both with a kiss. "Morning."

"So, before we start with our day, there's something I have to tell you." I scratched my head as both turned to look at me while I wondered where to start.

Levy raised her eyebrow and looked to the side, directly at the guest bedroom. "Does it have to do with the people I can sense in the house?"

"Yes." I nodded and explained what happened. They were surprised to hear that the two kids were Dragon Slayers, and they laughed when I told them how they believed I was a real Dragon. However, they were more than astonished to learn that two kids managed to pull off something as incredible as a perfect Unison Raid.

"You have to show me this," Levy demanded, and I used Archive to replay the fight for them.

"That boy Sting sounds a lot like a younger Natsu," Erza commented, and I agreed with that.

"He does, doesn't he?" I chuckled. "I told them I can bring them to the Guild, and they seemed really excited about that."

"The Master will surely accept them," Erza said, certain that Makarov would take them in. I thought as much, but I was happy to hear it from her as well.

Then I moved on to Juvia, telling them about what happened with her, and how I managed to help her a bit by becoming her friend.

"Juvia? I've heard of her. She's one of Phantom Lord's S-Class Mages," Levy said with a pondering look.

"She is?" I asked in surprise. Sure, Juvia was strong, but… well, she couldn't really compare to any of the S-Class Mages in Fairy Tail.

Though I wasn't certain exactly how good Mystogan was since I hadn't met him yet. He did pass by the Guild that one time, and I ended up getting put to sleep alongside the rest of the Guild due to his Magic, so he had to be quite strong to do that.

"Indeed," Erza nodded. "She is part of the Element Four, the strongest team of Phantom Lord."

"Huh." I shrugged my shoulders. That didn't really change what I thought about her. She was still a lonely girl that I was happy to become friends with.

The girls agreed that I had done the right thing by helping her, and we got up after that. They went to quickly clean themselves while I set up the dining room before I checked up on the kids by knocking on the door.

"Yes?" Rogue opened the door with a questioning look, and I saw that Sting was still sleeping without a care in the world with the brown-furred cat, Lector, lying right next to him. The other cat, Frosch, was on the empty bed, staring at me with bleary eyes.

"Breakfast is ready," I told him, and both cats were instantly on their feet, quickly rushing over.

"Food?" They asked with shining eyes.

"Yes." I nodded and gestured at Sting. "Can you wake him up?"

"I can," Rogue replied and went over to wake Sting by pulling on his arm.

"I'm awake." Sting got up, smacking his lips with a sleepy expression.

"Breakfast is ready." The second my words reached his ears, he was wide awake, his body vibrating in excitement.

"Food?" Sting asked with a wide smile.

"Yep, it's downstairs," I replied and started leading the way.

"Yees!" Sting cheered loudly. "Free food is the best!"

I had to agree with that. Free food really was the best. It's why I enjoyed sharing mine so much with others. Plus, the fact that I didn't want anyone else to experience the same hunger I did while growing up.

Those kids… they reminded me of myself. Their clothes were dirty and tattered, and they got so happy by just hearing that they would get free food.

At least they wouldn't have to suffer any longer as long as they joined Fairy Tail. They were quite strong already, so they could complete easier Jobs and earn some Jewels for themselves. Not to mention that I tend to cook for free in the Guild, so they wouldn't have to worry about that anymore.

I warned the four that there were two more people at the table, but they didn't seem to care, and they rushed over the moment their eyes landed on the food. Sting and his cat immediately started shoving it in their faces, but the other two looked at me first, and I nodded before they dug in as well.

"Oh my God! Thish ish the best!" Sting yelled with a full mouth before gulping it all down. He flexed his arm and shot me a grin. "I even feel stronger! Bet I can beat you on my own now!"

"You can try," I chuckled at him.

"No talking with your mouth full!" Erza glared at him, and he shrank back. Her eyes softened as she saw that, and she looked lost for a second there.

"Sorry," he quietly said.

"It's fine, don't worry about it," I told him before placing some more food in front of him. "Here, have some more."

"Woah! Thanks a lot!" Sting loudly thanked me before digging in, and I noticed Rogue silently staring at me, so I placed another serving in front of him and his cat as well.

"Thank you," he said, far quieter than his friend.

"He really reminds me of a younger Natsu," Levy muttered as she stared at Sting.

"Natsu? Who's that?" Sting asked, tilting his head to the side. "Why does that name sound familiar?"

"He is quite famous and also a Dragon Slayer just like you two." Levy's words instantly got their attention. "He's known as the Salamander."

"Wait!" Sting got up. "You guys know the Salamander? That's so cool!"

"We do." I nodded. "He's part of Fairy Tail, after all."

"Rogue!" Sting turned towards his friend. "We're gonna join Fairy Tail today! Can you believe it!"

"Yes." Rogue nodded at him. "We did discuss this already."

"I can't believe this! Woah." Sting dropped down on his seat, mouth gaping as he stared in the distance as he silently muttered, "We can join Fairy Tail…"

Rogue looked at me with a questioning expression, and I nodded, confirming that, yes, they could indeed join Fairy Tail.

"And there's another Dragon Slayer!" Sting got up in excitement before looking at me with a smirk. "Bet he can defeat you, Fairy Dragon!"

"Well, he has tried and hasn't had much luck with that," I smirked, watching as his eyes widened. "And he's not the only Dragon Slayer in the Guild."

"Really? Who else is?" Rogue quietly asked.

"There's two more," Levy said, pointing at herself then at me. "We are as well."

"Woah…" Sting gaped alongside the cats while Rogue nodded.

There was one more Dragon Slayer, but I kept quiet about it since Laxus seemed like he wanted to keep it a secret for some reason. I wasn't sure why, but I respected his decision. Though that did remind me that he was most likely training hard at the moment, and I expected him to want a rematch once he returned. Right, I had to make sure I was prepared for that as I wanted to keep my title of the strongest Fairy Tail Mage.

"What kind of Magic do you use?" They excitedly asked, eyes moving from Levy to me, eager to hear about our Magic.

"Um, Law Dragon Slayer," Levy replied, slightly embarrassed. "I only recently learned how to use it, so I'm not that good with it."

They looked confused for a moment before they turned their eyes towards me.

"Volcanic Dragon Slayer," I said, and they gaped in wonder.

"You… didn't use that yesterday," Rogue said, narrowing his eyes.

"I did mention that I didn't want to ruin my garden," I replied, and he nodded in understanding.

"Hmmm." Sting stared hard at me with narrowed eyes. "Hmmmmm!"

"Yes?" I asked with a chuckle.

"Hmmmmmm!" He continued staring before nodding to himself. "I bet I can beat you after a month of training."

"You can try," I repeated my words from earlier, and he eagerly nodded back.

"You bet I will!" He loudly declared for all to hear, making us chuckle at his antics.

We finished eating our food soon after, and we all left the house together, making our way towards the Guild. Rogue quietly walked next to me with Frosch sitting on his shoulder while Sting ran around us in circles the entire time, his body vibrating with energy and excitement.

Finally, we reached the Guild, and the kids stared at everything, oohing and awing in wonder. I greeted Mira with a wave and asked if the Master was here, and she nodded, informing me he was in his office. I then took the kids and led them over to Makarov.

He looked at the two then back at me. "You sure work fast."

"What?" I asked, confused by his words.

"I knew you were active in the bedroom, but to already have kids?" Makarov laughed at me.

I rolled my eyes at him before introducing him to the boys. He only had to hear just a bit about their stories before accepting them without hesitation.

Surprisingly, they insisted that they were raised by Dragons just like Natsu. However, unlike him, they weren't searching for their parents as they had apparently killed them. I.. doubted they had actually done that.

Sure, they were strong for kids their age, but to have killed actual Dragons? That seemed a bit too much in my opinion. I kept that to myself, and Makarov did as well, not calling them out on that statement.

Either way, today was a great day as Fairy Tail got two new members. I planned to cook a little feast later in the day, though there was something else I needed to do first. Namely, taking Mira out on a date.

I passed by Kinana and Virgo on the way to the kitchen, only stopping for a moment to greet them and ask how they had been doing. The Celestial Spirit seemed happy enough to be serving as a maid and was grateful to me for finding her a good owner.

My talk with her did remind me I had a few more Golden Keys, which I wasn't really sure what I wanted to with. Holder Magic didn't interest me as much, so I wasn't that interested in them, and I considered giving them to someone I knew. Though I could perhaps ask Loke first what he thought about that.

Kinana also seemed happy with her current situation, though she mentioned she still didn't remember anything from her past. I wasn't sure if I should be sad or happy about that.

On the one hand, Kinana didn't remember anything at all. On the other hand, she used to be a snake owned by one the most powerful Dark Guilds around.

That was a bit of a conundrum, but at least she was safe now and could figure out what she wanted to do with her life. Though she did seem happy working in the Guild at the moment, so maybe that was her calling.

After my little talk with the two, I entered the kitchen. Mira was cooking some breakfast for someone while humming a tune, and I sneaked up behind her before wrapping her in a hug.

"Hey there." Mira leaned against me, turning her head to give me a kiss before she continued watching over the food.

"Hey, so, do you have any plans for today?" I asked while holding her tight.

"I might, I might," she replied with a teasing smile before tilting her head. "Why? Do you have something in mind?"

"Maybe?" I hesitantly answered, looking a bit unsure about it.

"What is it?" Mira asked as she moved the pan away from the stove before turning around, hand reaching out to caress my cheek.

"You saw the kids, right?" I asked, and she nodded. "Well, they reminded me a bit about my past, and… well, I kind of realized that I wasn't the only one that had a tough time growing up. So, I was thinking we can maybe go around the kingdom and visit a few villages to hand out some clothes, raise some trees with my Magic so they have a lot of fruits and wood for the upcoming winter, and I can even try to create some heaters for them as well."

"That sounds lovely." Mira's smile was breathtaking at that moment, and I felt my heart flutter in delight, my stomach twisting and turning, just by seeing that.

"We can even stop for a bit longer in a few places and cook for everyone together," I continued, getting more excited by the moment. "And we can then do what you had in mind after that?"

"No, no," Mira shook her head. "I like your idea a lot more."

"Are you sure?" I asked in concern. "We can still find the time for a more personal date later in the day."

"Maybe," Mira replied with her beautiful smile. "But I do like your idea a lot. You know… we also had a tough time growing up, and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of doing something like this in the past."

"Nothing like that," I replied, gently cupping her face as I placed kisses all over it. "You already have your hands full taking care of all the babies in the Guild."

Mira snorted. "They are a bunch of big babies, aren't they?"

"So it's decided?" I asked, just to be sure.

"Mhm." Mira nodded and gave me a little kiss. "Let me clean up really quickly, and we can be on our way."

While she did that, I sent out my Clone to buy everything we would need from the stores in Magnolia and also checked up on my various Conjured Wolves. A few of them were off the coast in Magnolia, training my various breath attacks. Another one was resting in my garden and making sure it was protected.

As for the one in the library, it was resting near Mavis and Levy as the two were talking with each other about various strategies. I wasn't sure what was going on there, but I was happy that they were having fun together.

Shortly after, Mira was ready, and we left the Guild together before I conjured a wolf for us. I helped her get up, and she chuckled as she leaned against me.

"I haven't flown in quite a while…" Mira mused as we took off, staring at the ground below us with a complicated look.

"You used to fly… before?" I curiously asked. I knew that she was supposed to be an S-Class Mage as well, but I hadn't seen her in action. There was something that had happened in her past that made her stop using her Magic. Though I wasn't sure exactly what had occurred.

"I did," she replied with a sigh, snuggling against me. "Maybe I can tell you later."

I squeezed her tight, showing my support while we flew towards the nearest village.

We were greeted by anxious villagers when we landed at our first destination. An older woman ran up to us, bowing her head gratefully. "Thank you for coming so quickly!"

"What's going on?" I asked as I helped Mira get down from the wolf.

'There's a monster that's been attacking the village for the past few nights…" The woman paused, looking even more nervous now. "You're here for the Job… right?"

"We came here to help you prepare for the winter," Mira told them with a soothing smile and looked at me. "But we can handle the monster for you as well."

"Yep." I nodded, agreeing with her words. "I can take care of that really easily."

I conjured a few more of the wolves and nodded to myself before looking at the old woman. "I just need to know what exactly I'm searching for."

The woman stared at the multiple wolves with wide eyes before she looked back at me. "Um, we don't know for sure. Someone mentioned that they saw a massive black cat prowling around the village at night, and we've lost many of our animals to it."

"Yeah, I saw it!" A young boy ran over. "It was as big as a horse!"

"Billy here was the one that saw it," the woman gestured towards the boy, who nodded his head rapidly.

I ordered my wolves to start searching the surrounding areas, and they flew off before I smiled at the villagers. "Well, they'll take care of that for you. No worries."

They still looked nervous, but Mira calmed them down, telling them they had nothing to worry since we were here now. Her calm and soothing voice did the job, and they were reminded of what we said earlier.

"You said you were here to prepare us for the winter?" The woman cautiously asked.

"We are." I nodded and started taking out some of the things that my Clone had already purchased. "First some warmer clothes for both the old and the young."

"Woah!" The kids that had gathered around us exclaimed as their eyes landed on the pile of clothes. "Those are for us?"

"They are!" I replied, happy to see the smile on their faces. "And some extra cloth if you want to make your own."

"T-thank you." The older villagers bowed their heads, and I waved them off. Mira stood to the side, hands clasped together while staring at me with a loving smile.

"Hehe," I embarrassingly chuckled before adding. "I have a few more things."

"You do?" The villagers gasped in surprise.

"Yep, the first is, well, I can make trees and all kinds of plants grow up in seconds, and I have a bunch of seeds with me for that," I explained, their eyes widening in response. "I just need you to show me a suitable place for them, and I can grow you multiple fruit trees that you can harvest and later chop down for wood."

"Greg?" The woman turned towards an older man.

"Right, I know the perfect place." He nodded his head at her and directed me to an empty plot of land. The kids all followed along, some of them already holding a bunch of the clothes in their hands, refusing to let them down even for a second.

"This here should do. No one really wants the place," the man explained.

"Are you ready to see some Magic, kids?" I asked, and they all rapidly nodded their heads, some even yelling out "Yes!" in response.

"Alright then." I took out a bunch of seeds from my Inventory and threw them around the plot of land before casting Growth on them. The entire place bloomed in a split second, going from a barren land to a beautiful small forest just like that.

"Woah!" The kids gaped in wonder, eyes looking around at the various fruit trees that had appeared out of nowhere. Some of them dropped the clothes on the ground and rushed in, climbing up the trees to pick up the fruits before exclaiming how delicious they were.

A few of the villagers came to check the commotion and were left speechless after seeing the small forest I created in second.

"Um, sir?" Greg nervously asked.

"Yes?" I replied back with a calming smile.

"Can you do the same for some of our crops?" He asked with a bit more courage. "We haven't had a good year and…"

"No problem, that's why I'm here," I calmly replied. "Just make sure everyone has enough to eat during the winter."

"Thank you, sir." Greg bowed his head. "We'll make sure everyone is fed."

I then went around the village, using Growth on all of their crops before we returned back to the center where Mira was talking with the older woman.

I took out my cooking equipment along with a bunch of food my Clone had bought, and Mira happily began cooking for the villagers. The kids ran over once they smelled the aroma, all eagerly waiting for her to finish preparing the feast.

Meanwhile, I took out a bunch of Lacrimas and some metal plates along with my heater. I inspected the Magical Item for a moment before figuring out how it worked. It was fairly simple really. The Lacrima just had to be charged with a powerful Fire Magic in order to take the properties of fire and then someone could just charge it back with their own Magic.

Right. That was easy enough for me to do, and I got to it. Charge a Lacrima, place it in between the metal plates, weld those with my Volcano Magic, and move on to the next.

Since it was that simple to do, I figured I could also make some portable showers as well. They worked on the same principle, though the Lacrimas needed to be charged with Water Magic. I ended up creating a bit more than necessary, but that wasn't an issue since we planned to visit a few more villages today.

By the time Mira was done with the food, my wolves had already found the monster, which ended up being a Shadow Panther of all things. They had no problem taking it out, and I had them search around for other monsters just to ensure the village was safe.

The villagers were more than thankful for our help, some of them even crying tears of joy while the kids all ran up to us, giving us tight hugs for all the presents.

We left the first village with large smiles on our faces, and I felt pure joy from being able to help them all, knowing that none of the kids there would have to suffer like I did.

"That was really lovely," Mira said, turning towards me before wrapping her arms around my neck. She looked so beautiful at that moment, and I couldn't resist, so I leaned in to kiss her while pulling her closer. She chuckled against my lips, but her arms tightened around my neck, and we enjoyed making out until we arrived at the next village.

We passed through a few more villages throughout the day, and we had a few pleasant conversations while we flew around. I got the chance to tell her what I had been recently up to, including the new types of Magic I had learned. She, on other hand, told me she enjoyed singing and dancing, and I noted it down for later.

Mira was fairly interested in me figuring out Ice Magic, her eyes gleaming with an idea in mind. However, she refused to tell me what she thought of, just like she refused to tell me about the surprise she was preparing. Though she did mention that the latter would take some time as she had to discuss it with someone else first. As interesting as that was, it didn't help me figure out what the surprise was.

One thing of note did happen during our trip, but it happened in Magnolia, and I got to witness it through my Clone, watching how the entire town shifted, making a path that led straight to the Guild. I had heard about it before, but damn, the city had really adjusted its entire structure just for Gildarts alone.

My Clone watched him return with Cana, both walking side by side with proud looks on their faces before they returned to the Guild. I showed it to Mira with Archive, but she had seen it before and didn't think too much of it.

When the sun was starting to go down, we decided to return back to Magnolia as well. However, Mira stopped me, pointing at a large lake. "Can we stop here for a moment?"

"Of course," I replied, ordering the wolf to descend down next to it.

"Do you think you can freeze the water?" Mira asked with a gleam in her eyes.

"It shouldn't be that hard," I mused. I wasn't that experienced with Ice Magic, but… well, I knew a thing or two about Magic in general, so it didn't take me long to freeze the lake.

"Would you join me for a little dance, good sir?" Mira teasing asked as she offered me her hand.

"It would be my pleasure, my lady," I replied with a grin as I took her hand, doing my best to hide how nervous I was. I had never danced in my life, after all.

Mira took the first step, gliding on the ice like a beautiful fairy, and I awkwardly tried following along, doing my best to keep up with her. She giggled, spinning us around, and I almost fell face first, only remaining on my feet thanks to her support.

"Relax," Mira told me with a bright smile, her hand gently squeezing mine as she pulled my other, placing it on her lower back. "Just follow my lead."

I nodded, and she slowly began moving around, gliding on the ice with me doing my best to keep up. Slowly but surely, I got used to it, becoming more confident by the moment.

"You're doing a great job," Mira said as she slowly sped up, her movements becoming a bit more complicated to follow, but I did my best.

Soon enough we were gliding on the ice, twirling around as we danced under the setting sun, giggling like little kids having the time of their lives. It was so refreshing and novel to me, and I lost myself in the moment, a bright smile on my face as we danced together.

And then, Mira blew my mind away as she started singing with her soothing voice.

"I am a woman in love

And I do anything

To get you into my world

And hold you within

It's a right I defend

Over and over again"

Her voice rang through the air, leaving me in a daze as I stared at her mesmerizing face. I cared about all the girls equally, but at that moment, Mira was the most beautiful woman in my eyes.

"With you eternally mine

In love there is

No measure of time

We planned it all at the start

That you and I

Live in each other's hearts"

She stared at me with loving eyes the entire time, my heart fluttering while my stomach twisted and turned. She was truly incredible, and I was so, so lucky to have the chance to experience this moment with her.

"God, you are so amazing." I leaned down, taking her lips, pulling her in for a deep kiss. Her limbs wrapped around me, and I held her up, gliding around the lake while focusing on her, kissing and biting on her lips. She giggled and playfully bit me back before kissing me again, her delightful tongue wrapping around mine.

She sang, we kissed, and we danced the night away, leaving me with a memory I wouldn't forget for a very long time. I genuinely hadn't had so much fun before, and I was glad to have experienced this moment with her.

"Thank you," I said, placing gentle kisses on her lips. "This was amazing."

"No, thank you," she replied, hands cupping my face as she kissed me back. "You've done so much for me and Elfman, bringing back some of the joy we lost."

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked in concern as we continued slowly gliding on the ice.

Mira sighed as she placed her head on my chest, arms tightly wrapping around me.

"About a year ago, I took an S-Class Job with Elfman and… my sister," she said, and I felt the sadness in her tone when she mentioned her sister, my heart breaking into pieces as I realized where this was going.

"I thought I was the strongest back then, overconfident in my abilities to take on anything the world could throw my way." I hugged her close while gently rubbing her back.

"I was so, so wrong. The Beast, the monster we fought, was too much for us. Elfman tried stopping it with Take Over, but… he lost control and…" Tears welled in her eyes as her arms tightened around me, and I could only hug her back at that moment.

"You don't have to continue," I quietly said while soothingly rubbing her back. I understood what had happened from her words alone. The monster had managed to overpower Elfman's will, resulting in a tragic outcome for the siblings.

"I was different back then, you know," Mira said, sniffling a bit. I reached out and wiped the tears trailing down her cheeks while cupping her face. "But I lost my will to go on. I… just couldn't do it. So I started working at the Guild, doing my best to take care of all the people there, and I haven't used my Satan Soul since then…"

"And there's nothing wrong with that," I gently told her. "You don't have to force yourself to do anything you don't want to. Plus, I'm certain that the Guild would fall apart without you."

There wasn't anything else I could do at that moment, so I just held her tight, showing her that I was there for her no matter what. We stayed together, just hugging each other while she relieved her past, and I did my best to soothe her with my presence.

"I'm… better now," Mira said, looking at me with red eyes. "Thanks."

I pulled her up like a princess as I conjured my wolf before hopping on top of it, ordering it to slowly fly back towards Magnolia. Then I hugged her close, and she wrapped her limbs around me, holding me for dear life. I made a promise to myself on the way back, to do everything in my power to make Mira as happy as she could possibly be. She deserved as much in my mind.

"Thank you for this," Mira said after we returned back. "And… for hearing me out."

"There's nothing to thank me for," I replied, pulling her in for a kiss. "I will take you out on as many dates as you want, so we can dance and sing together until we drop down from exhaustion."

"You do learn pretty quickly," Mira chuckled as she held onto me.

"Next time, I will be the one singing for you," I told her with a smile.

"You promise?" She asked, a small smile appearing on her face.

"I promise." I nodded without hesitation, watching as her smile grew just a bit.

"Thank you," Mira tiptoed to give me one last kiss.

"Again, you have nothing to thank me for. I will gladly do anything I can to make you happy."

The smile she showed me was one I would remember for a very long time, and I watched her return to her home, thinking of what I could do to ensure that smile lasted for as long as possible. My thoughts turned to her sister, thinking if it was possible to… of course, it was possible. Magic could do anything. The question was if I should do it or not.

Deep in thought, I returned back to my home, where Cana and Levy greeted me. I told them a little about what we had done with Mira today before pulling them to the bed, just enjoying their warmth as they fell asleep beside me.

Nature God's Rank 100 Passive Bonus: Passively restores 10% Health every 1 AP during day time. Doubles the bonus EXP to Physique and Soul.

While I was controlling my Clone to take care of my plants, I sensed a bunch of rascals lurking near my house. I stressed my enhanced hearing, focusing on them.

"Are you sure about this?" Rogue quietly asked.

"Yep! He's nice. He won't mind. Don't worry about it," Sting replied, and Lector agreed with him.

"If you say so," Rogue muttered before I sensed his signature move, entering my house. He probably turned his body into a shadow and went right under the door just like I do whenever I sneak inside a building. That's something I should try to fix, though Levy might be more suited for that. Yeah, it was better to leave that to her.

Moments later, I heard the door click, and they all entered inside. They then quietly moved towards the guest bedroom they used last night before all going inside.

"Goodnight," Sting told the rest, receiving the same in response as they all went to sleep.

I sighed, but I decided to let them be for tonight. The kids didn't have a place to stay, after all, though I was sure Makarov had offered them to sleep in the Guild just like offered me when I first joined. Plus, they weren't making a mess or hurting anyone, so there was no harm in letting them sleep here.

The Rune Knights were all alert as they took shifts guarding the convoy during the night, ensuring that no one attempted releasing them. They were all dangerous criminals and had plenty of connections, after all. One of them had even managed to infiltrate the Magic Council!

They all deserved to be thrown in prison and left to rot there for the remaining of their lives. That's why the Rune Knights were doing their best to ensure no one rescued those scumbags. Though… it was a shame that girl had to suffer that fate. She was just so beautiful… why did she have to be a Dark Mage when she could've achieved so much more in her life?

Well, it was what it was. Those guys made their bed, and now they had to sleep in it. The Rune Knights just had to make sure that happened for good, and so far, everything was going smoothly without any interruptions whatsoever. The fact that barely anyone knew about their operation worked in their favor, and they were close to their destination, just another day away.

The Rune Knights were just in the midst of swapping when things took a turn. A black orb appeared out of nowhere, flying lighting fast as it went from person to the other, slamming hard against them and knocking them out in one hit.

A figure wearing a mask emerged from the darkness once all the Rune Knights were down for good. He passed the sleeping bodies and entered the convey, unlocking it with a key he already had in his possession.

The figure passed by the cells, ignoring all excpext for a single one that held a man with a red tattoo over his right eye.

Jellal looked at the figure, a smile growing on his face. "I knew you'd rescue me."

His next words died in his throat as a sword appeared in the hands of the masked man. And before he knew it, the blade was stabbed through his throat.

"Why?" He gurgled out, blood splurging from his mouth.

"You did your job," the masked man replied. "Now we don't need you any more."

With that said, he turned around and walked away, leaving Jellal to die while chocking on his own blood. The figured paused in front of the other cells, stopping only for a moment, but he shook his head and walked away.

I had been focusing quite a bit on my Nature God Magic, mostly through my gardening and my wolves that were training the Bellow Spell, but I had spent a good amount of time on this particular Magic Branch. The results were clear to see, as my main attacking Spell could take down a small hill while my Growth could give birth to a forest in minutes.

I believed that was good enough progress, and I took out the book Idunma gave, listing through the first few pages before reaching the ones that refused to budge before. This time, I easily pulled the page, and I got to see one of the Secret Arts personally developed by a Nature God.

Excitement filled me as I got to reading, eager to see how the Spell of a God compared to the one I personally created for my Devil Magic.

Figuring out the Secret Art took me no time all. However, I couldn't use it Magnolia. Hell, I couldn't use it near any settlements where people lived.

That's why I sneaked out of the bed and quietly left the house. I enjoyed lying with Levy and Cana in my arms, but I really wanted to test this out and see just how good it was.

I formed wings on my back and flew out, quickly finding a location with no humans in sight. I thought this was good enough, so I focused, my energy spiking in waves as wood began forming around me, growing rapidly until it turned into a titanic wooden statue with thousands of arms, while I remained safely hidden inside the head.

Power surged through me, and I felt like I could easily destroy cities and bring down mountains within minutes with in this form. Especially because the statue was connected to me, growing more powerful depending on my current capabilities. I let out a deep sigh, feeling like there was nothing that could stop me at that very moment.

I did, however, have to be extra careful in this form precisely due to how powerful I was. Each strike of mine could change the landscape around me if I wasn't careful, after all. That's why I tried slowly moving around at first, just to get used to this.

While I was doing that, I picked up a signature with massive amount of Magic Power heading my way. I looked in that direction, spotting a green creature rushing towards me with lightning fast speed. It roared with power as it crushed the ground while leaping right towards my statue.

Secret Art, Thousand Hand Battle Form: Form a wooden statue of titanic proportions around you to fight your enemies. Gain battle mod equal to Magic Rank x150. Melee attacks with this form deal 10d(Magic Rankx100) damage. Lasts for half an hour. Can only be used once a week.

I might've had a thousand hands, but hitting a small opponent with all of them was nearly impossible. Though that didn't mean I couldn't hit them at all. I did have a thousand limbs, after all.

"RAWR!" The Beast roared as it flew at me, but ten of my hands shot out, hitting it one after the other, pummeling it into the ground and forming a massive crater.

Ten more of my hands shot out after them, striking my enemy with all my power and expanding the crater even more. I held off from finishing the Beast since it was a strong one, and I considered taking it for myself.

However, before I could do that, I noticed how it started shrinking, slowly turning back into a human. My eyes widened, and I quickly released my Magic before jumping near the old man.

He was gravely injured from my attacks, but he was still alive, which was more than enough for me to quickly heal him back up. The old man quickly jumped on his feet, head swirling left and right, searching for his enemy.

I coughed, and he turned towards me. I chuckled and scratched my head. "Sorry about that. I didn't know you weren't a Beast…"

"That was you?!" The old man asked in astonishment before letting a sigh of relief as he dropped on his butt. "I thought we were being attacked…"

"Yeah…" I trailed off embarrassingly. "My bad. I was just testing out a new Magic…"

"Testing out a new Magic…" the old man grumbled. "This younger generation will be the death of me."

"Sorry," I apologized again.

"Bah! It's too late for apologizing at this point," he grumbled under his breath. "I'm right as rain, but my pride…"

I sheepishly scratched my head, not sure how to respond to that. He was the one that attacked me, after all. Though I had to admit that my form could've easily been mistaken for a monster of some kind. It seemed like we were both in the wrong. Yep, we were both in the wrong, and I was sticking with that.

The old man narrowed his eyes, intently staring at my face. "Why do you seem familiar? Where have I seen you before?"

"Well," I started speaking when I sensed another Magical signature rapidly approaching us and paused. Both of us turned towards it at the same time, and an older man materialized in front of us a moment later.

"What happened here?" He asked with a serious tone, looking around the area for a moment before narrowing his red eyes at us.

I ended up explaining that I was testing out a new Magic when the old guy attacked me, and I defended myself. The guy stared at me with narrowed eyes before nodding to himself.

"A misunderstanding that could've been easily avoided if the two parties bothered communicating," he stoically said and took a deep breath.

"Come, Wolfheim." He beckoned the old man. "We should report this before it gets out of hand."

Wolfheim grumbled, and I tilted my head, using Archive to go through all the information that I had until I realized who that old man was. He was one of the Ten Wizard Saints! In fact, he was among the top four strongest, known as the Gods of Ishgar!

"As for you," the other guy, another member of the Wizard Saints, turned back towards me. "We will be in touch with you shortly, Leon of Fairy Tail. However, do try to avoid causing such accidents."

"Sorry," I apologized again and bowed my head. "I didn't think testing out my Magic would've led to this, but I will do my best to avoid causing similar accidents in the future."

"Good." He nodded. "We will meet again. Goodbye for now."

Wolfheim grumbled under his breath before the two ran disappeared from their spots in a burst of speed, rushing to wherever they had come from, and leaving me on my own. I looked around the massive crater I made, and I decided to at least fix it up a little.

That didn't take me long with my Volcano Magic, and I even ended up sprinkling some trees around the area before using Growth on them, replacing the surroundings with a nice little forest. With that done, I formed wings on my back and shot off, ready to return home.

On the way back, I wondered how I would explain this to Makarov. Well, that was easy enough. I just had to tell him I was testing out my Magic, and I accidentally ended up beating one of the Gods of Ishgar… whoops, I guess.

One important thing I learned on the way back was that I couldn't use the Secret Art again. At least not at this very moment.

It felt like there was a pool of energy inside me that I had exhausted, and it was currently recharging. Judging by how it felt, I thought it would take about a week before I could use the Secret Art. It seemed as if I was right, as my own unique Magic confirmed as much once I checked my Status.

That was a shame, but it wasn't that bad all things considered. It's not like I expected to need to use the Secret Art that often. I mean, I hadn't even encountered any enemies that would actually require me to pull it out so far. What were the chances of something that dangerous appearing while it was recharging? Right. There was no need to worry about that.

Once back, I returned to the bed and pulled out a few books from Everlue's library. I noticed there was one for Earth Magic, though I wasn't in the mood for that and checked out the rest of his collection.

Most of them were fantasy books with a main character that heroically saved the day at the last moment. I found it a bit unrealistic how the hero always survived in the beginning of the story, even in situations where they should've died. Then again… I did survive that fight with the Grass Wolf by the skin of my teeth. Though that was at least more believable as Grass Wolves were weak monsters.

Either way, I still enjoyed some of them, especially the satire ones that clearly didn't take themselves seriously. Like, there was this one author that always ended his stories with the hero–who all had two first names for some reason–doing a backflip before snapping the neck of the bad guy to save the day.

After storing the books back into my Inventory, I wondered if I could write a successful one myself. It didn't look that hard all things considered, and I could use some of my adventures as inspiration. You know, I could definitely see myself writing a book at some point, though I could ponder on that later as I had to prepare breakfast at the moment.

The girls soon woke up, one far more alert than the other. Cana opened her eyes for a second before closing them again as she snuggled against me.

"Five more minutes," she quietly mumbled.

Levy, on the other hand, immediately turned her head towards the guest bedroom, making me wonder if this was as a result of her enhanced senses, or if she had felt their minds with her new Magic.

"The kids are back?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"They snuck in during the night, and, well, I figured I could let them be for the time being," I explained while scratching my head.

"How'd they get in?" Levy asked as she stretched.

I told her what I sensed during the night, including how I thought we should probably do something to prevent others from doing the same. I didn't mind the kids doing it, but other people were a different story.

"Hmm, maybe I can do something about that," Levy replied thoughtfully before she tilted her head and narrowed her eyes, intently staring at me. "Alright, what did you do?"

"What do you mean?" I weakly chucked and looked away.

"I can tell when you've done something outrageous." Levy smirked at me. "And you have that look in your eyes at the moment."

"Heh." I weakly chuckled. "I… might've beat up one of the Wizard Saints?"

"Huh?" Cana raised her head, staring at me with bleary eyes.

"You… of course, you did," Levy shook her head as a smile grew on her face. "Which one was it?"

"Um… Wolfheim?" I replied, feeling the grin that was itching to form on my face.

"That's… one of the Four Gods of Ishgar…" Levy stared at me with wide eyes, and Cana woke up in a second once she heard that.

"Whoops." I scratched my head and looked away. "I would just like to point out that he's not an actual God. I can confirm as much…"

"Hahaha!" Cana proudly laughed, now fully awake after hearing all of that. "Show us! I have to see this!"

I pulled out an Archive screen and displayed the quick fight that ended just as fast as it started. Which confirmed that Wolfheim was clearly not a God as he couldn't last for more than a minute against my Secret Art.

"That's…" Levy stared with wide eyes.

"What the fuck…" Cana mumbled in astonishment.

"Yeah… that." Levy nodded at her.

"If it makes you feel any better, that's not something I can use more than once a week," I sheepishly said.

"No, no, it does not," Levy replied with a pondering look. "You really beat up one of the strongest Mages in the entire continent just like that…"

"And here I thought I was catching up to you." Cana shook her head. "This guy is supposed to be stronger than even the Master, and I'm not sure I can take him on."

"You'll get there," I told her before looking at Levy. "Both of you will, I'm sure of that."

"Ohh," Cana cooed as she pecked me on the lips.

"You really think that, huh?" Levy asked, a fond smile growing on her face.

"Yes." I nodded without hesitation, and she pecked me on the lips as well before both cuddled against me. We stayed like that for a bit before we got up to clean ourselves.

I passed by the guest bedroom and knocked on the door. Rogue quickly opened it, shyly poking his head as he stared at me for a moment before looking away. "Sorry."

"It's okay," I said as I crouched down. "I don't mind it that much, but don't make a habit out of this."

"Thank you," he said, bowing his head.

"Don't worry about it," I said as I rubbed his head, and he ducked away before looking at me with a pout. "Can you wake up the others and tell them breakfast is ready?"

"I will." Rogue nodded and went over to wake them up. He just had to mention food, and they were all up in seconds.

"Told you he won't mind!" Sting loudly stated before they all rushed out of the room, quickly running down the stairs.

"Morning!" Sting greeted everyone as he jumped on his chair, immediately shoving the food in his mouth as if he was afraid it would grow legs and run away.

"No need to rush, there's plenty of food for everyone," I said with a smile, placing another serving in front of him.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Sting fired out those words in a split second before smashing the food against his face.

I chuckled, thinking how different the two kids were from each other. They were like… night and day, heh. Perfectly represented by the Magic that they used.

We continued eating our breakfast, and I asked the kids how they were adjusting and if they had picked a Job or two to do. There were a few that had interested them, but, well, they weren't sure if they were allowed to do them, so they hadn't picked anything yet.

"Alright," Levy nodded to herself. "I'll take you guys with me on a Job today."

"You will?" Sting asked with wide eyes, hands thumping on the table in excitement.

"Yes," She confirmed with a nod.

"YES! That's so cool! We get to go on a Job with another Dragon Slayer!" Sting clapped his hands in excitement before wrapping Lector in a hug, shaking him left and right with fever.

"Thank you." Rogue just nodded his head at her, far more subdued compared to his friend.

We finished with our food shortly after, and I stored the dirty dishes in my Inventory before my Clone took them out as he started cleaning up. We left the house after that, making our way to the Guild. Levy kissed me goodbye before she went over to pick a Job with the kids, while I walked over to Makarov's office, figuring I should let him know about what happened.

"Leon, my boy! Just the person I was looking for," Makarov greeted me with those words the second I stepped inside.

"In my defense, it was an accident, and I didn't mean to do it," I replied without hesitation.

"What are you talking about?" He titled his head while holding onto a bunch of paperwork. "I wanted to tell you how much we made from selling the chocolate, but… it sounds like you have something more important to tell me."

"Well…" I scratched my head.

"Well? What is it? Spill the beans," he said as he placed down the paperwork, staring at me with narrowed eyes.

"So, I was out practicing a new Magic yesterday, and… I might've ended up beating Wolfheim," I explained with an embarrassed look. "Whoops."

"Wolfheim?" He asked, and I nodded.

"The third ranked Wizard Saint?" I continued nodding.

"He did attack me first," I defended my actions.

Makarov stared at me for a long moment with narrowed eyes, making me more and more nervous. I weakly smiled at him in response and… he burst out laughing, slapping his leg as his face turned red.

"Show me! I just have to see how you smacked his smug face! Hahahah!" Tears were streaming down his face from how much he was laughing, and I shook my head, thinking that I should've expected as much from Makarov.

"... and this concludes my report," Draculos said as he sat down in his seat, the hall immediately erupting in astonished murmurs after hearing his report. One person, however, seemed disinterested and visibly looked bored.

Serena dug in his ear with his pinky before he shrugged. "Meh. Just a big block of wood. Don't get what's the fuss about that."

"The fuss, as you put it, is that Leon is clearly far stronger than we assumed he is. He was a candidate for the Wizards Saints before, but now…" One of the Council members tried explaining.

"Meh. I can burn that thing down in a second," Serena dismissed him without a second thought.

"Regardless, Leon is clearly strong enough to be part of the Wizard Saints despite his young age," the same Councilman continued.

"Bah, don't bother me with useless shit like this," Serena spat out. "I'm the strongest! Not some nanny. Remember that!"

And with that he disappeared, dispelling his thought projection, leaving the rest to discuss the situation at hand without him. More than a few were displeased with Serena's actions and attitude, but none dared openly stating it since despite everything, he really was the strongest.

"What are your thoughts on this?" A member directed the question to the others.

"I vote for making Leon one of the Wizard Saints," Doma stated his opinion with no hesitation. A few disagreed with him, mostly due to Leon's young age, but the majority agreed.

From what they knew, the young man had a remarkable track record, and he had confirmed that he was more than good enough to compete with the strongest Mages on the entire continent. However, they now had a slight issue as they had to figure out who to drop from the current roster.

"I'll take the hit." A dark haired man with a scar across his face raised his head.

"Are you sure of this, Volt?" They asked, slightly surprised he was willing to lose his title.

"Yeah, I don't mind. Not like it will change anything for me." Volt shrugged his shoulders before grinning. "Just send him over to Pergrande at some point, so I can see if his Devil Slayer is the real deal. He did learn it on his own, after all, and I want to see how it compares to mine."

"We will take that into consideration." They gratefully nodded at him before turning towards another member. "Makarov, do you have anything to say?"

"Hmm." The old man hummed before looking at Wolfheim. "Man, you're sure getting up there in age if kids are beating you up now."

"Makarov!" Wolfheim growled, baring his teeth at him, but the diminutive old man just laughed back in response.

They ignored Makarov after that since he clearly wasn't taking this seriously and continued discussing how to approach this. It took them some time to come to a satisfying conclusion, deciding to do a ceremony in the capital of Fiore sometime next week to reward him with his Wizard Saint title and badge.

All the members began disappearing one by one as they canceled their thought projections, leaving just a few in the hall.

"I don't know if I dislike Serena more or Leon," Wolfheim grumbled under his breath as he stretched his body, hand lingering on his back in thought.

"Why is that?" Doma asked. "Leon is nothing like Serena in terms of attitude."

"He beat me before healing me and apologizing for doing so! Can you imagine that! Gah!" Wolfheim slammed his hand on the table with a large frown before quietly whispering. "My back doesn't even hurt anymore…"

There were plenty of things I could've done today, but I thought it was time to hunt down another one of Zeref's Demons. All of them were immortal creatures that caused destruction and havoc whenever they appeared, and I was one of the few people that could put them down for good. I wouldn't say I was doing this out of some weird sense of duty or something like that…

If anything, I was doing it for the challenge and the potential rewards. Right! I was doing it for the rewards I could get from using Boss Battle on this Argdin that tended to cause havoc in Joya.

I informed Makarov of my plans, and he waved me away, telling me he trusted that I knew what I was doing before his communication Lacrima rang. He chased me out of his office after that, and I went downstairs, wondering if I should invite someone to come along with me.

The last time, I had the help of Cana and Elfman, which made the fight against Lullaby far easier than it would've been if I had fought it on my own. However, I thought I could handle this one on my own, especially after knowing that Argdin used Fire Magic, and I was pretty much immune to that with my Volcano Dragon Magic. Still, I felt like going with someone else, and I knew the perfect person.

"Mavis~" I called out as I entered the library.

"If it isn't my little fairy!" She ran over with a bring smile before throwing herself in my arms. Mavis giggled as I spun her around and looked at me with shining eyes. "What can this great general do for her poor little soldier?"

"Hmm, I was thinking of taking out this great general on an adventure to go hunt down the evil demon wreaking havoc in Joya," I said with a grin.

"Ahh!" Her eyes sparkled as she gasped and covered her mouth. "Adventure!"

"Mhm." I nodded. "So, would you like to come with me?"

Mavis quickly climbed on top of me, sitting down on my shoulders with her hands holding onto my hair before she pointed towards the door. "Onwards, my minion! Let us go slay the wicked creature and save the day!"

I saluted, making her giggle, and marched out of the library. Once outside, I summoned my wolf and hopped on. Mavis instantly jumped from my shoulders, burying her face in the soft fur of my companion.

"Mister Fluffles," Mavis said with a blissful smile.

"Mister Fluffles?" I asked, amused by her name for the wolf.

"Yeah, that's his name." Mavis spun around to look at me. "Cause he's so fluffy."

"I guess that's decided, huh?" I chuckled as she wiggled up and sat down in front of me, head dangling from the side as she stared at the ground below.

"It is." Mavis nodded, and I wrapped my arms around her, ensuring she didn't fall off. She looked back at me for a moment before offering me a large smile. "So, what has my little fairy been up to lately?"

"Quite a bit," I said and began telling her about what had recently happened to me as we flew towards Joya.

I placed the Demon Compass in front of Mavis, allowing her to direct the way while I stretched my enhanced sense as far as they could reach. Which was quite far, to be honest, as I could scan an area as big as Magnolia with my senses at this point.

It took us no time at all to locate Argdin with the two of us working together, and we found the Demon descending from a mountain, surrounded by a massive fire storm that burned everything in his surroundings.

"Little fairy…" Mavis pursed her lips as she stared at the behemoth. "Are you sure you can handle this?"

"Don't worry," I confidently said, though I had to admit I was just a tad bit worried after sensing exactly how strong this Demon was.

"As long as the great general has my back, I'm confident in taking it down. And…" I paused as I conjured thirteen more wolves around us. "And just look at how many soldiers you have at your disposal."

Mavis stared at me, her small hands balled into fists. "Leave them to me, little fairy! I won't let you down!"

"I know you won't," I said and ruffled her hair before I faced towards Argdin, wondering how to approach this.

Mavis watched as Leon jumped from the wolf, his body transforming as he fell down,growing metallic red and brown fur while his hands turned into massive, razor sharp claws. That was the form he used to defeat Natsu, she noted and looked away.

There was no need to be worried here. He would be fine. Plus, he was just a… pawn, yes. Just a pawn. Just a pawn. Just a pawn.

She couldn't care about him. Nope, that wasn't allowed. However, she was allowed to have some fun!

"Fluffy army!" All of them looked at her with a surprising amount of intelligence for creatures created through his Magic Power alone.

"Prepare to attack on my mark!" Mavis declared just as the Demon exploded in a fiery tornado that did absolutely nothing to her little fairy, who ignored the fire as if it wasn't even there in the first place.

Lightning flickered around Leon's body as he rushed towards Argdin, followed by blue lava that erupted from his back, destroying the ground as it sent him flying right towards the head of the Demon. His claws flashed out, cutting out half of Argdin's face with his first attack.

"RAAAAA!" The Demon roared, swinging his massive fists in an attempt to slam him out of the air.

However, her little fairy was better than that, and he spun in the air, chest puffed as he released a massive storm in the form of a beam from his mouth. The Spell struck the Dsmon in the chest while also pushing Leon out of the way, and another one followed right after, slamming against Argdin and leaving a gaping hole in his chest.

"ROAAAA!" The Demon roared in pain and was about to go after the falling Leon, but Mavis was there to save the day.

"Fire!" She commanded at the perfect moment, and all of the wolves dutifully followed her orders, firing beams of energy similar to Leon's. All of them fell atop the Demon in a beautiful explosion that shook the entire mountain.

Ardgin's body started falling apart as Leon fell down on the ground before immediately rushing in to take advantage. However, the Demon was far from done despite clearly being injured. His fists moved lightning fast, causing shockwaves in the air as he threw them at her little fairy.

"Go!" She ordered the wolves, starting to worry ever so slightly, but her little fairy was better than that. Massive shields formed in front of him, stopping the fists from even coming close to him, which allowed all fourteen to freely attack the Demon.

"RAAGH!" He roared, swinging his arms around him, but the wolves quickly got out of the way, using their wings to their advantage.

Mavis noticed that it was beginning to rain at that moment, and she looked up, noticing how the clouds had formed a big storm in the air with massive streaks of lightning dancing from cloud to cloud.

When she looked back at the fight, she saw that Leon had backed away, standing a large distance from the Demon. He mouthed something she couldn't quite hear, and her eyes widened as a titanic beast made of lightning descended from the air, slamming right into Argdin.

Mavis covered her eyes from the light, and when she looked back at the scene, she saw that half of the mountain was missing, and Leon was rushing down with, his eyes clearly panicked for some reason.

She wasn't sure what that was about, but they were fine. They had defeated the bad guy and saved the day. That's what mattered. Right… there was no need to be worried about a little fairy. He was just a pawn. Just a pawn. Just a pawn.

Leon couldn't be anything else other than that. Else… she might hurt him just like she had done to everyone else numerous times in the past.

I rushed towards the point of impact while doing my best to keep the fire from spreading everywhere. That was harder than I thought it would be as there was something off with the flames. They were somewhat similar to the ones of the Ifrit, but also so much more different at the same time.

There was definitely something off about Argdin's fire, and if I had to compare it to anything, I'd say it had something in common with my God Magic, though it was vastly inferior to it. Either way, I needed to prevent it from burning my rewards!

That's why I was rushing towards the Demon and doing my best to push his flames away from his body. Thankfully, I reached him on time, just before the items caught on fire. Quickly, I threw them in my Inventory, pausing for a moment as the last one took me by surprise.

"Huh?" I stared at the two-handed sword, squeezing its hilt in surprise, feeling the heat emitting from it. I threw it in my Inventory as well before blankly staring at my burned hand, surprised that it had managed to go through my immunity to Fire…

I shook my head, deciding to inspect it later and focused on the Demon's crumbling body. Its life force was quickly seeping out, so I acted fast, jumping over to use Take Over on him.

Surprisingly, Argdin still had a lot of power despite his condition, judging by how vehemently he resisted my will. If this was a month ago, I would've surely succumbed to his will. However, he stood no chance against me in his current state.

With Argdin taken out, I proceeded with my plan and ground his Soul, turning it into energy for one of my other Souls. Unfortunately, Lord'oran didn't seem compatible with it, so I had to feed it to the Ifrit.

"Huh?" The Ifrit stared at me in surprise, though that didn't stop him from gorging himself on the enemy of the Demon.

"Better you than it," I said, carefully watching as his power grew to the point that it even surpassed Argdin, showing just how compatible the two were.

"I did tell you that you won't regret this." Lord'oran smirked at him with an arrogant look.

"Huh." The Ifrit stared at me, and I waited for the moment he tried resisting my control, but just sat down, hand on his chin as he stared in the distance.

I waited for a bit longer, but after seeing that he didn't plan to do anything, I pulled back and opened my eyes. The fire around me was still going strong, so I focused on my Storm Devil Magic, forming even more clouds above the mountain. The rain poured down while I used my only Water Magic, throwing it over and over at the fire to quickly douse it all.

Mavis arrived with the wolf pack, and she hopped from atop one of them, her bare feet tapping on the wet ground as she ran over. She looked me up and down before nodding to herself.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," I said, puffing my chest a bit. "See? There's not even a single injury on me."

"As expected from one of my fairies!" Mavis proudly declared and walked up to me before climbing atop my shoulder while I continued my work.

Soon enough, I finished removing all the fire, but… half of the mountain was missing, and all the vegetation on it was gone. It was nothing more than a barren wasteland after the fight with Argdin, and it looked so miserable. Now, we couldn't have that, could we now? Nope! That wasn't allowed.

I pulled out some of the seeds that I carried with me and paused right before I started throwing them around. Instead, I turned to Mavis, who was watching the scenery with a sad expression. "Do you want to help me redecorate a little bit?"

"Hmm?" Her head fell in front of me as she stared at my face from upside down.

"We can't just leave this place like this," I said, looking at the barren half mountain. "It just looks so sad…"

"Yes!" Mavis exclaimed with shining eyes, and she pulled herself up, holding onto my hair as she directed my movements. "We have to start from there!"

"Alright." I followed along, placing the seeds precisely where she told me to before I used Growth, making the sprout in seconds. We continued reseeding the mountain for a while, and I paused right as we were done.

"No…" I trailed off as I retraced our movements.

"Yes!" Mavis replied, proudly giggling to herself.

I formed wings on my back and flew up, just to make sure I hadn't imagined it, but… I sighed as I floated above the mountain, watching how the trees perfectly formed the Fairy Tail mark.

"Really?" I laughed as I stared down.

"Of course! We have to make sure people know that we were here!" Mavis replied, happily clapping her hands.

"I feel like people would've figured as much." I said in amusement. "Not to toot my horn, but I'd like to think that my Magic is quite distinctive."

How many people could destroy a mountain and fix a barren wasteland, turning it into a green paradise in an hour or so? Not much I'd wager, and I was pretty sure that there wasn't anyone else with my exact skill set out there.

"Yeah, but this guarantees that everyone will know that Fairy Tail was here!" Mavis declared and threw her hands up, forcing me to reposition myself so she wouldn't fall off.

"Anyone that can fly," I corrected her. "Others might have a harder time figuring it out."

Before she could respond, I turned my head to the side, sensing a powerful Magical signature moving in our direction. She turned around as I did, and we saw a figure in the distance, who was flying atop an opaque shield of some sorts.

Soon enough, he came into view. The figure was a middle-aged skinny man with a bald head and was clad in a white robe. He looked at what was left of the mountain and chuckled once he saw the Fairy Tail Guild mark on it.

"I don't suppose you had a reason for doing this?" He asked after that.

"Argdin," I replied, and he nodded in understanding. "He's gone for good now."

"Marvelous," he clapped his hands before shaking his head with a chuckle. "You know… I didn't expect to see you so soon."

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, tilting my head, wondering what he was talking about.

"Oh." He looked back at me with a gleam in his eyes. "You'll find out soon enough, I guess."

I narrowed my eyes. It didn't seem like he meant it as a threat, but I was still unsure what he was talking about.

"Don't worry about it," he said with a grin that just screamed he knew a secret no one else did. "Though I do have to thank you for fixing up after yourself."

"No problem?" I replied, still slightly confused.

"Well, I'll be going now since the situation has been handled," he said and gave me a little wave before he turned around. He then stopped and looked back. "Oh, I'm Barryl, by the way. We'll see each other again in about a week."

And then he flew away, leaving me confused. Barryl was definitely an S-Class Mage, and I could tell as much just from how much Magic Power he had, perhaps he was even a Guild Master of a nearby Guild. However, that didn't really explain what he meant by telling me we'd see each other in about a week.

"What do you think that was about?" I asked Mavis.

"I don't know." She shrugged in response. "He didn't seem malicious, though."

"I thought so too," I replied before shrugging as well.

I looked around, making sure that I wasn't forgetting anything. Everything was in order, so I hopped on top of one of the wolves and pulled out some food from my Inventory. Mavis' eyes lit up, and she hopped from my shoulders before lying in my lap.

"Feed me!" She declared with a grin.

"Hmmm." I just stared back at her before I ever so slowly took a bite.

Mavis pouted and grumbled. "Feed me, pretty please?"

"Well, I can't say no to that, now can I?" I replied and poured my Mana into the food before bringing it to her. She took a bite and turned into a puddle in my lap before releasing a soft moan.

"This is the best!" I chuckled and continued feeding her while we slowly flew back towards Magnolia, relaxing as we enjoyed the scenery below us.

"We should do this again in the future," Mavis said as we arrived at Magnolia.

"We should." I nodded in agreement, watching how she fidgeted for a moment.

"But at least a week later. Maybe even more," Mavis replied, staring in the distance.

"Any reason for that?" I asked, slightly concerned by how she was acting now. I thought we had plenty of fun, but she looked a bit sad.

"Hehe." She chuckled and looked away. "Girls secret~"

"Levy?" I asked, remembering how I saw them talk together in the library.

"Ahh!" Mavis gasped and covered her mouth with her little hands. "Have you been spying on us?"

"Pff, no." I looked away. "Was just checking up on my conjured Spells and saw you two together."

"Bad, bad man!" Mavis pouted, lightly slapping my arm before pinching it to no effect. "Evil man!"

"Hey! I have to check up on you and make sure you don't want some food!" I defended myself, and Mavis intently stared at me.

"Bad man!" She slapped me one more time before jumping from the wolf, quickly rushing back into the Guild, giggling to herself as she phased through the building.

I followed after her, entering inside myself. Levy seemed to be back and was sitting with her team. Rogue and Frosch were next to her, quietly listening to her words.

Sting, on the other hand, was running around the hall, stopping by each table to tell everyone how they had defeated the evil talking birds. Lector followed behind him, confirming how they had destroyed the monsters. Weirdly enough, the two were avoiding Natsu as they did their best to stay a distance away from him.

"Leon!" Sting rushed over once he saw me. "You had to see us today!"

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrow. "And what did you do?"

"We beat up the evil birds! And we were so awesome!" Sting began rapidly firing his response with Lector nodding along. "Levy raised us on those weird platforms she calls screens, and we blasted the monsters out of the air!"

"Good job," I praised, and the two proudly puffed their chests.

"Yeah, we showed them who's the boss!" Sting nodded his head before pointing at me with a grin. "We are coming for your next, just you wait."

He then ran off to tell his story to another member while I made my way over to Levy to sit with her group. We spent some time talking, and I got to tell them about my recent adventure. Levy took great interest in the new Magical Notes I received, and I promised to translate them for her.

I passed by Cana as well, stopping for a moment to speak with her and to share a drink. She mentioned that she wasn't interested in doing a Job at the moment since she wanted to get better with her Magic, which I was perfectly fine with. I had done plenty of Jobs as of late, and I wasn't in a rush to do another one.

Though Cana did offer to check my luck for the month, and I couldn't say no to that.

"Hmmm." Cana stared at her cards with narrowed eyes. "It seems you won't be as lucky this month."

"Does that mean that I will be unlucky or?" I asked, just slightly concerned.

"Nah, means you will have average luck," she replied with a shrug as she stored back her cards.

"That doesn't sound so bad," I mused, recalling my past.

Well, my recent past. I tried not to think about my time in the village before I got my Magic, and I had to say that I was quite lucky ever since. Sure, the previous month was something else as I ended up finding a Dragon Lacrima, met a Goddess and learned her Magic… Not to mention everything else that happened. Yeah, the last month was something else, alright.

However, I considered myself quite lucky even before that. The meeting with Laxus could've surely gone better if he hadn't acted like an asshole, but he did point me towards Fairy Tail and that changed my life, just as much as getting my Magic did.

If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have ended up meeting all those amazing people. I wouldn't have befriended Elfman and Natsu. I wouldn't have got into a relationship with those incredible girls… Yeah, I was a really lucky guy.

"Don't worry." Cana winked at me. "I'll make sure you feel better when we get back home."

"Oh?" I grinned at her. "You have something in mind?"

"Maybe~" She teased with a grin of her own.

"Well, I can't wait to find out," I replied, and we talked for a bit longer before I got up, making my way over to the kitchen to check up on Mira. However, I noticed that everyone present froze, all of them focusing on me with expectant looks in the eyes.

I stopped in my tracks, thinking about it for a second before nodding at the people there. "Sure, I will cook something for you."

"YES!" They cheered as I entered the kitchen, greeting Mira by pulling her in for a deep kiss.

"How have you been?" I asked, gently holding on to her.

Mira hummed as she placed her head on my chest while hugging me back. "Content and happy."

We stayed like that for a moment before we separated. I connected to her mentally, and we started cooking, working perfectly in sync as if we had done this thousands of times before.

I had my Clone help deliver the food with Kinana and Virgo, while I stayed with Mira in the kitchen, pampering her by hand feeding her while she sat in my lap. She let out a pleased sound as she leaned back against me. "I can get used to this."

"I guess I will have to pamper you every day from now on." I chuckled as I leaned my head against hers.

"Oh, what a tragic fate." She chuckled back.

"I'll survive somehow," I replied as she turned around to wrap her arms around my neck.

We stayed the rest of the evening together in the kitchen, just talking, hugging, and making out. I ended up escorting her back to her place before I returned home where I was welcomed by Cana and Levy.

They pulled me over to the bedroom where Cana displayed her newly learned skills while Levy instructed her, giving her a detailed explanation of how to please me best.

"Just like that," Levy whispered in Cana's ear, all while pressing on her head to take my entire length, my erection pushing against her hot throat.

"Gah." Cana pulled back when Levy allowed her, saliva dripping down her mouth as she took deep breaths. She gave her a moment while her hand grabbed me to slowly stroke me.

Levy pushed her head again a moment later, and Cana wrapped her dainty tongue around my erection, delightfully swiveling it left and right as my length pressed against her throat.

"Damn." I breathed out a moan of pleasure.

"See how much he likes it?" Levy whispered in her ear, and Cana looked at me, her tongue speeding up once she saw my face.

"That's it," Levy continued, holding her for a moment longer before pulling back.

"Now why don't you use those puppies of yours?" She asked, hand trailing around Cana's breasts.

"Oh?" Cana smirked as she wrapped her large breasts around my erection before she began stroking me with them. "You like this?"

"It feels amazing," I replied with a breathy tone.

My words visibly raised her confidence and that was reflected in her actions as she not only sped up, but she also leaned her head down, wrapping her tongue around my head.

"Good girl," Levy whispered, praising her while holding her hair.

I let out a deep breath, feeling that I was close to my climax. Both of them sensed that, and Cana sped up her movements, but just before I finished, Levy pulled her back, and I ended up cumming right on her face and breasts.

"Oh, is that how it is?" Cana turned towards her. She grabbed Levy and threw her on the bed next to me before climbing on top of her.

"Come," she told me as she grabbed Levy's hands, firmly holding them in place above her head. "Come pound this little bitch while she licks me clean."

Levy barely resisted, her tongue immediately beginning to work, cleaning up the cum from Cana's face. The two were clearly having fun, so I followed along and quickly got into position.

Their slits were right next to each other, and I started off by rubbing my erection between them while my hands grabbed onto Cana's lovely ass. It was just the right mixture, being firm yet soft, and I more than enjoyed kneading her flesh.

Both girls moaned as I rubbed against them, but then I positioned myself and thrust right into Levy's tight little slit.

"Oh fuck!" She loudly moaned as I began pounding her hard, knowing she enjoyed it more like this.

"You like this, don't you?" Cana asked, staring right in her eyes. "Don't you?"

"Yes! I love this!" Levy moaned, feet wiggling as her body quivered.

"Haha! Poun–" Cana froze as I pulled out of Levy and pushed inside her instead, her hot insides instantly squeezing my erection, pulling me even deeper.

"Oh fuck…" Cana moaned, body weakly falling on top of Levy.

"Yeah, you like this, don't you?" Levy asked her back, tongue still licking Cana's face. "Don't you?"

"Ah!" Cana let out a little yelp as I smacked her ass, watching her flesh jiggle enticingly as I continued thrusting inside her.

"Yeah, slap her big ass," Levy cheered me on with a smirk.

"Ah!" Cana moaned as I slapped her ass again, her insides squeezing me tighter than ever as her body shivered in pleasure.

I pulled out of her and inserted myself into Levy again, swapping between the two a few more times before I felt I was close to finishing.

Cana got up and pulled Levy with her while still holding onto her hands in her grip. With her free hand, she grabbed my erection and started stroking me, aiming my length right into Levy's face, and I ended up covering her with my seed.

"Heh," Levy chuckled, licking the cum around her mouth. "Jokes on you, I'm into this."

Cana blinked at her, and Levy used this chance to push her down, taking her hands and holding them above her

"This time, I'm on top," she said, licking her lips while seductively wiggling her ass towards me.

I couldn't say no to such an invitation, and we continued having fun, testing a few more positions before the two finally ran out of energy and fell asleep.

While the girls were sleeping, I went out to my garden. There were two new types of seeds in my Inventory, and I wanted to see what they were all about.

First, however, I had to harvest some of my current plants since the garden was already full. Perhaps it might be time to expand, and I wondered if I could purchase the buildings next to my home. I'd have to check during the day, and if they were, I'd buy them since I had plenty of money to spare.

I might even rebuild my own house to make it even bigger. I did have plenty of building materials, after all. In fact, I had enough to build a massive mansion for myself.

While considering all of that, I harvested my plants and began planting my new ones.

Storm Devil Rank 125 Passive Bonus: All attacks deal 50% more damage to Demons/Devils.

The Grillthanthemum was the first thing that I planted in one corner of my garden, and I eagerly waited to see what would happen once I used my Growth on them. I had some expectations in mind, but I surely didn't think this would be the result. I leaned in, just to make sure I wasn't imagining it, but… it really grew into a delicious-looking chrysanthemum that had flowers with actual grilled meat as petals. I picked one of them and looked at it closely, but the meat was really already cooked.

Just as I was about to give it a taste, I noticed that the flower regrew mere moments after I had picked it. I narrowed my eyes and picked it again. Sure enough, another one grew up seconds after that.

"So I have a plant that infinitely produces meat…" I blinked my eyes at it before shaking my head. I supposed I could bring some of those to the Guild, so they could sell them for some easy money. Unless, of course, it tasted awful, but I would find out if it did in a moment.

I gingerly took a bite from the grilled meat, and it melted in my mouth. My eyes opened wide as I gulped, feeling the absolutely divine taste of the meat. This… I looked at the flower in astonishment. This thing was as delicious as my own food! How? It made no sense, yet this clearly was the case here.

I gulped before quickly shoving some more of the grilled meat in my mouth, moaning in delight as it melted on my tongue. "Haa…"

Shaking my head, I walked away from it, moving over to the section I left for the Templant, wondering if it would be as good as the Grillthanthemum. I licked my lips as I cast Growth, watching as a large tree sprouted from the ground. The tree had no leaves, but delicious-looking tempura was hanging from the tips of its branches, hot steam waffling out of the already cooked meals.

"Again?" I asked, just staring at the plant that somehow produced fully cooked food! There were even different kinds of tempura growing on its branches.

I picked one of the tempura and threw it in my mouth. My entire body shook from how delicious it was, and I closed my eyes, taking a big gulp. I opened them a moment later and looked at the tree, but another tempura hadn't grown from the branch I harvested. It wasn't an infinitely producing plant like the Grillthanthemum, but that was perfectly understandable, especially when it tasted even better.

"But… can I make it even better?" I asked myself, silently staring at my new plants. Adding them to a meal was pointless since they were both already cooked, but what if I prepared a full course meal with them? I liked the sound of that! I looked around my garden and grabbed all the ingredients that I thought would pair nicely with them and quickly rushed over to my kitchen.
