Nashi sighed as she leaned against the railing as her friends examined the job board. Although she loved doing jobs with them, she had to admit it was a bit tiring. Especially when you had to split the reward five ways. Nashi had gotten nine thousand jewel for the last job. The reward was 45,000.
"We could do this one" Drake stated, taking a poster off the board. "Delivering a package through a bandit infested part of the road."
"boring" Elise rang. "We should do this one for getting rid of a curse."
"We don't know how to do that" Simon rolled his eyes. Nashi sighed again.
"How about we take a break?" She asked. No one listened to her, and she groaned. They were all jobaholics, as far as Nashi was concerned. Not they'd gone on lots, but Nashi was tired. She was considering on walking away to nap somewhere when Ultear squealed.
"This one, this one!" Nashi, as with the others, moved to look. Nashi almost threw up.
"Showing up at a magic day for kids?" Simon read. "Sorry Ul, but I'd rather go on a date with Mami"
"Who's Mami?" Nashi asked Elise. Elise snickered.
"Some chick in Blue Pegasus who's got the hots for Simon. Her dad's the master too. Ichi... something, I don't know" Nashi found that interesting. Perhaps this Mami girl was clingy, like Juvia. Drake rolled his eyes.
"There is no way in hell I'm doing a job that requires magic and kids. Do you not know how badly those two elements mix, Ul?" He stood next to Simon. "No go"
"But it's 200,000 jewel for every wizard that shows up!" Ultear complained, brandishing the poster at them. Nashi could practically see the Jewel sign pop up in both their eyes.
"Alright ladies, pack your shit. Simon and I'll see you at the train station." With that, both Drake and Simon left.
"That was quick" Elise commented. Ultear giggled.
"Those two will do any job for the right price." She said. "Like that time Simon actually did agree on a date with Mami when she offered him half a million jewel"
"That's a bit excessive" Nashi noted. "Is she that desperate?"
"No" Ultear replied as they walked out of the guild. "She's a rather attractive girl, and a nice person, with guys practically being shaken off her as she sways her hips, but she's obsessed with Simon" Nashi wondered what it would be like to be that attracted to someone. She couldn't see herself paying out half a million for a date. Then again, she'd never had half a million jewel...
Nashi groaned in unison with Elise and Drake as the train hit a bump in the tracks. She and Elise were propped up on either side of Drake, using his shoulder for support, while Drake leaned as far back into the seat as he possibly could.
"I didn't realize we had three motion sick teammates" Simon noted, sliding onto Ultear's seat opposite them.
"It's a side effect of Dragon Slayer magic, apparently." Ultear replied. "Intense motion sickness"
"I prefer to call it hell" Elise groaned.
"Are we there yet?" Nashi managed, burying her face in Drake coat, trying to suppress her lunch.
"The train ride is a few hours" Simon replied. " We've been on the train for only half an hour" All three moaned at once.
"I hate my life" Drake moaned, slowly swallowing vomit as he did.
"Why didn't we walk?!" Elise shouted, half in pain, half in anxiety. "I wouldn't have been subjected too this!"
"It's more than a few days walking" Ultear said, turning to look out the window at the passing countryside. " Motion sickness aside, I can't wait to get there! I'm so excited!"
"Don't be," Simon replied, looking down. " I looked into this school that offered the job"
"And?" Drake coughed.
"It's a school for behaviorally challenged kids" Simon replied. " basically a school for kids who can't control themselves."
"Surely they can't be that bad" Ultear quipped, glaring at the side of Simon's head.
"Five kids have been arrested in 3 days" Simon told her, which caused Ultear to narrow her eyes, sigh in defeat, and turned back too the window"
"So not worth the 200,000 each" Elise moaned.
When the train made it to the station, The three dragon slayers were the first out, praising being back on solid ground.
"If you guys are done embarrassing yourself in public." Simon stated, stepping out after them, gesturing too the strange stares they were receiving.
"Yeah, we really should get there" Ultear agreed, picking Nashi up onto her feet, who blushed profusely upon realizing they were being stared at. As they walked through town, Nashi contemplated what they were going to be doing when they got there. She hoped they could fight some of the older students. Even if Nashi wasn't as violent as she'd heard her father was, she still loved to kick some ass. When they got to the school, you could barely tell it was a school. It looked more like a prison. Bars on the windows, guards at the doors.
"I hate this already" Elise grumbled. Nashi couldn't help but agree. She had a bad feeling that she was going to see a side of youth she hadn't experienced.
"You the Fairy Tail guys?" The doorman asked.
"Yeah, that's us!" Ultear agreed happily.
"My sincerest condolences" He replied, opening up the door. " I hope they're paying you a lot for this"
"Wait, what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Drake demanded as they entered and the door shut behind them. "All for backing out now, raise your hand" Everyone but Ultear raised their hands. Ultear sighed.
"What about the reward?" She asked.
"Screw that!" Nashi retorted, thinking back too the somber look on the doorman's face. "I am not getting payed anything to stand in front of a group of prisoners and talk too them!"
"I agree with Nashi" Simon stated, crossing his arms. "No amount of money is worth what we're about to go through" Drake and Elise nodded in agreement. Ultear visibly darkened.
"Don't make me drag you there" She warned. They all groaned as a stern looking woman walked up to them. She was all matching checkered clothing.
"Hello" She spoke with a posh accent. "I assume you are the wizards from Fairy Tail?"
"Yeah that's us!" Ultear said happily. Nashi noticed the headmistress glaring at her.
"What?" Nashi demanded. The headmistress stuck her nose in the air.
"Zip up your vest, you look like a whore off the street." Nashi's eyes widened and her anger burned. She ripped her vest off and threw it at the Headmistress. She stood proudly in only her sports bra.
"Make me, bitch" She retorted. She had her vest thrown back at her as Elise snorted. The Headmistress turn to Ultear.
"I assume you are the leader of this little troupe?" Ultear paled a bit.
"Uh, yeah, my name is Ultear"
"My name is Ms. Midori..."
"Not surprised it isn't Mrs.." Drake murmured, which caused Nashi to snicker.
"...and I am the Headmistress. I will show you too the class you will be addressing" She then turned to Nashi. "I only told you to zip your vest up for your own good" Nashi made a point to zip it up. She didn't know what that meant, but she could only assume there were some perverts. They passed a bunch of mages wandering the opposite way. One bore the mark Quatro Cerberus.
"You guys here for Guild Wizard day?" He asked.
"Um, yeah" Nashi replied. She was more than surprised when he placed a hand gently on her shoulder.
"Good luck kid, you'll need it" He and his guildmates then proceeded the walk away. Nashi turned to Elise.
"I want to go home" She whimpered. Elise shrugged.
"Can't do nothing about it now. Ul's in charge" Nashi knew she was right, but the other wizards warning had terrified her. Just what was waiting for them in that classroom? When they reached their class, they found the teacher smoking outside it, with a worried expression on her face. She turned to face them.
"I can't to it anymore, Ms. Midori, they're out of control" She wailed.
"The wizards are here" Ms. Midori replied. "Go to the break room." Nashi saw Drake' ears twitch slightly as the teacher passed them.
"There's a storehouse worth of liquor in the break room" He whispered to her. Nashi wasn't surprised. The Headmistress guided them into the classroom, which was full of the must stupidly dressed delinquents she'd ever seen. They all quieted down when Ms. Midori entered.
"All right you insufferable urchins" She hissed. "These are your wizards for Guild Wizard day. Go easy on them" Nashi wanted to know what the hell that was supposed to mean, but she stayed quiet. "Now, one of you step up and tell us what your magic is" Drake sighed.
"I'll go first" Nashi watched as her brave friend stepped out of the line they were in. " My name is Drake. Just, Drake. I'm a poison dragon slayer"
"Poison?" Some kid in the first row said while smirking. "That's lame" Nashi smirked as Drake made a face halfway between anger and delight.
"Oh yeah kid?" Drake said, leaning in real close to him. "It that what you think? My poison is so deadly that one touch can completely numb any part of you I touch. Want to try me?" The kid responded by spitting it Drake's face. Drake's retort consisted of slugging the kid in the face, which sent him flying into the back wall. Nashi and Elise tried to restrain him. "You want to go, you little shit! I'll kill you!"
"Drake!" Nashi scolded. "Control yourself!" Drake pouted and crossed his arms.
"He started it"
"I cath't feel my facth!" The kid shouted from the back, holding the left side of his mouth.
"There's more where that came from, asshole!" Drake shouted back.
"Drake!" Nashi shouted again. A girl snickered.
"Listen to your girlfriend, man" She said, while chewing gum. Nashi turned to glare at her.
"I'm not his girlfriend"
"Whatever" Nashi felt herself burning up, trying to constrain the flames.
"I'm sweating, Nashi" Simon scowled. "Calm down" Simon's words knocked a little sense back into Nashi, and she backed down. Simon stepped forward, obviously going next. Nashi wasn't ready for what followed.
"Listen up shitheads!" Simon shouted. "My name is Simon Scarlet, remember that!"
"Sir, yes sir!' They all shouted, most sitting up straight. Nashi was impressed.
"Now," Simon continued. "My friends and I came here today to talk to the disgrace of the human gene pool about magic, which I am okay with doing. But I will not take any disrespect towards me and my friends, is that clear?"
"Yes sir, Mr. Scarlet, sir!"
"Good. Now, I use requip and heavenly body magic. Any of you uneducated idiots know what those are?" A girl in the back raised her hand. "Yeah?"
"Requip is using your magic to summon armor and weapons from your magical inventory. Heavenly body magic is using the power of the stars in your attacks Mr. Scarlet, sir!" Nashi was having trouble not laughing at the respect Simon had commanded. He had these kids scared shitless. It was hilarious.
"Well looks like one of you knows something! Nothing impressive, but something!" Simon shouted. "That's all I have to say. Have I enlightened you assholes?"
"Yes sir!" Nashi couldn't help but giggle as Simon stepped back.
"You could've held back a little Erza" Elise said, voice dripping with sarcasm. Simon shrugged. Ultear stepped forward.
"Sorry for my friend, he's a little excitable." She said happily. Simon shook his head.
"Nope," He said," I just hate every single one of them." Simon pretended to launch himself forward, which caused the class to flinch. Simon chuckled and fist bumped Drake. Ultear glared at them.
"In any event" Ultear continued. " I'm Ultear, and I use ice make and water magic. Anyone here know magic?" Almost everyone raised their hand. "Good, now someone attack me" A boy in the back didn't hesitate. He launched earthen spears at Ultear, and, as the class gasped, they passed right through her. "Exactly. I can also use ice to make whatever I want, that isn't alive of course. Alive ice make is a different class altogether." She stepped back looked pointedly at Elise and Nashi, who both gulped. Elise stepped forward.
"Iron Dragon Slayer" She said, allowing her arm to transform into a sword, then proceeded to casually swing in near their heads. "Pretty cool, huh?"
"Not really." A girl near the back noted. " And you look so thug, you should come here." Elise shrugged.
"Sorry, biker chick, but unlike you, apparently, my parents actually love me" Elise's words had obviously cut deep, and Nashi saw her pierced friend grin as she stepped back. Nashi sighed and stepped forward.
"Nashi Dragneel" She said, as she watched all the kids eyes widen. " That's all I have to say"
"Your the salamander's little pride and joy aren't you?" Girl chewing gum demanded. Nashi met her glare with an equally venomous one.
"So what?"
"Your dad ain't all that, so you can't be" Nashi lit her whole body on fire, and flipped her desk over.
"Don't talk shit about my dad in front of me, bitch" Nashi glowered, watching the girl start to panic. "And never talk shit about my abilities" Nashi smacked her, which left a burn, and turned around, seeing all her friends grinning, while the headmistress looked ready to murder her if anything.
"Well," Ms. Midori began. " Anyone want to fight the wizards, to see if they're all talk?" Somehow, Nashi felt like this was her way of telling them they'd taken it too far.
"Yeah" Numb face said angrily. "I got a bone to pick wif poithin guy over there" Drake grinned, showing his massive canines.
"Bring it, asshole. Nashi and Elise can't hold me back this time" Nashi knew this would end badly.
