บท 92: Chapter 92: Self Doubt
~Third POV~
Magnolia Town is a city located in Fiore.
Magnolia has a population of 60,000 inhabitants and is a merchant city that has been prosperous in Magic since the ancient era. Such reputation was supported by the fact that the town use to house the strongest Guild in Fiore, Fairy Tail.
Magnolia is located in the southeastern part of Fiore, with the sea and Hargeon Town not too far to the south, a series of minor built-up areas namely Onibus, Kunugi, Oshibana, and Clover Town linked to it by a railway line to the north, and the state boundary with the nation of Bosco to the east.
Magnolia possesses a large built-up area, extending over a large, rectangular surface to the shores of Lake Sciliora. Splitting the town vertically and horizontally is a series of large roads.
The whole place is western in style, with its buildings being mildly reminiscent of neat Medieval ones.
Located almost in the middle of the town, overlooking Central Path, a horizontal road where events and parades are held, is Kardia Cathedral, one of Magnolia's most important and distinctive landmarks.
In the northernmost part of the city, sitting on the shore of Lake Scilliora is Fairy Tail's First Fairy Tail Building|building; to the west, on a hill overlooking the built-up area, is the Guild's female dormitory, Fairy Hills.
In the southeastern section of the city is the train station, which, to the west, has the HalfCocor Hotel Bar, the Toy Store Tom, and the Magic Store Lendis; north from the station, on the town's western border, is the entrance to the park.
Magnolia Town is complete with technological mechanisms which allow most of its buildings to slide sideways and rise over platforms, leaving only a very large, straight road that leads from the city's entrance to Fairy Tail's First Fairy Tail headquarters. The northernmost part of Magnolia, on the shores of Lake Sciliora, sees Phantom Lord guild.
Such a peculiar measure was taken to make up for the absent-mindedness of Gildarts Clive, Fairy Tail's Ace member, who, after returning from his usual, long journeys, would accidentally walk through the town destroying private houses with his Crash Magic.

~Tatsumi POV~
Feeling the power of magic flowing through me was euphoric really but shaking my head I can be proud of my [Hell Flame Dragon Slayer Magic] later as I began to fuse the mechanical dragon of the Dragonoid with Atlas Flame.
Hinata watched me in awe fusing the two as the dragon in question looked bigger than before as now Atlas Flame dragon has more metal bones on him that shows are scales now being apparent.
Although it does look much more intimidating than it was before as I breath out as we got our firepower to deal with Phantom Lord as I talked to Hinata, "Hey Hinata since we're done on this end how about we finally go get the other member already. Then we can relax a bit before we deal with Phantom Lord you good to go or do you want to eat first?"
That was when I noticed her blushing as she…
Oh…
Whoops, that one is on me as I didn't have my shirt anymore as it burned to a crisp maybe I should try to get some fire… scratch that this is hellfire. What kind of clothes would be good for this though?
Dragon scales used to create some clothes?
I mean Natsu scarf was made out of Igneel scales when it fell off his body maybe I should go with that then. Better search the shop for some specific needs for it…
…
…
After picking up the right clothes that won't burn off from my power I began we already teleported back to our original spot leaving the undead Atlas Flames the world using my Pterodactyl to get away from this place.
Already having Daphne keeping us hidden from the Giants till we finally reach a safe distance away from there we began to talk normally about the situation, "Sigh… that was a bit close to comfort when the Giants noticed their guardian corpse went missing. Not my best day I'll admit."
Hinata nods her head at that as she began to sigh out loud as she began to express her worry over the small trouble I caused, "Sigh… I agree but those Giants went nuts noticing their guardian statue was gone. It was very scary seeing the brutality of the guards…"
*Shiver*
Don't get me even started with that one.
When we returned from my separate space for say a few minutes everything went south all too quickly.
The guards that were guarding their guardian statue was stolen were pretty beat up badly. Like Empire style badly for it.
I mean they had like one job that was very important in Sun Village but their anger didn't seem to be too reasonable at the moment. I mean they were at that point when we teleported back keeping ourselves hidden was when they started to take out the nails from the guards on one of them and the other was being crushed by hammers to the gut as they tied the guard up no way to defend.
Ouch.
And I thought the backward savage tribes in my world are bad enough I didn't expect the Giants to be well… brutal especially in Fairy Tail. But then again considering this world it's pretty dark if you look at this realistically speaking.
Well… I suppose it matters on the perspective really even in many anime they are dark they just don't portray themselves as such, Naruto, MHA, Black Clover, along Dragon Ball, are quite dark but they are always covered by their goofy interactions and activities.
Guess I can't judge a book by its cover.
Still, though it should take us a while to get to Magnolia Town in Fiore. Shame I won't have enough time to collect the dead dragon bones scattered in Crocus it would be a treasure trove for me.
That was when I felt Hinata grip on my arm tighter as she laughed at the open sky as she spoke to me softly, "Hahaha… still despite the Giants brutality the feeling of the air flowing through me in the sky. It feels really good is this how you feel every time you fly?"
A smirk soon came apparent across my face as I couldn't help but smile at this as I couldn't help but agree with Hinata for feeling the sky wind, "Yeah, it's a good feeling to feel. The freedom of having the wind blowing through my face and hair. Since we have time how about we talk about our lives before the chat group."
At this Hinata was visibly surprised at my words as she began to question me but stopped as she nodded her head as she began first to finally talk, "Oh? Do you want to talk about our past life before the chat? I guess we can talk I suppose to have a better understanding of each other. Very well how about this…"
With that, we both began to talk about our past lives and talk about our viewpoints of each other's culture. We have time so I might as well get better getting used to having to learn the member's past.
I don't want us to have problems in the future and visiting her home village is in itself a problem but… I don't want to risk my trust with her for not going to her cursed village. I might be a liar but I like to live but I can't exactly blame her for not knowing the problems her village has caused.
Sigh… I swear I feel like I'm too killer happy but…
Maybe having someone like Mavis might keep me in check helping the problems I'm dealing with here. That would be I became more… apathy towards my enemies…
I just hope there is something wrong with me because of the Murasame poison curse losing my humanity or else worst-case scenario… I'm becoming to like who I become being merciless towards my enemy.
At least that's what I would like to believe and hope that I won't get crazy after this but with the chat group here I manage to keep myself sane again, I guess. Maybe some of my better humanity letting people know my struggles have some comfort.
Or I'm just overthinking things again and still haven't gotten around the idea that I liked my world, to begin with from my insecurities…
Sigh…
Mentally shake my head a bit as I'm probably overthinking things again as I have in the past. I'm hoping to have someone understand me about my situation at times as keeping my mind sane hasn't been what you call easy.
The reason why I'm thinking of it today was probably from my talk with Hinata about me viewing her village I would usually be more… how to say it kindly as to not offend her but lately I think I noticed that I'm rather blunt in my words.
Hmm…
Thinking back at it now actually think about it more clearly have, I always viewed my opinions and views towards the members? I mean I never meant to offend anyone really but have… I have always been that person?
Do I usually have been stating that I was right and you were on the wrong front for a while now…?
It feels like I haven't been exactly the best person to ask her considering up till now I haven't exactly had a filter in my words and thinking on that now… if I acted like that to myself I would pretty much look like a guy who didn't care about what she thinks on my opinion and just outright stated he's right…
…
Fuck I have been doing a lot of that actually in the earlier parts of my life with Iyasu and Sayo because of how smart and right I was with them feeling like the leader of the group. At the time they wouldn't mind.
But with the members, I think I may have looked very annoying to them forcing my views on them but I guess I haven't exactly been the guy to easily sway his ideals and ideas because of what I know…
Damn seeing myself back now I feel like a complete dumbass to now as I just realized I follow blind justice. Fuck my life…
Ok, this isn't a bad idea I just need to change my nature and everything should be fine from now on as I should be respectful to other members' ideas and choices… no matter how much I very much disagree with them on some stuff.
Now I just have to listen to Hinata's story and be unbiased as possible as I explain my background to see where she likes her village stems from as well as reveal some similarities to her family sealing curse to slavery but with extra steps.

A/N: Now the MC realizes his flaws about himself that he started to show when he talked with Hinata about being too blunt as well as being right about himself and having some self-doubt of his actions forcing his views on others.
