Mirajane cried every worry she had for the past years, she cried as she had never before, the image of the always happy that everyone saw in the guild was now replaced with the longing and pitiful.
As the members thought that she was always happy and has no problem, they didn't how much she was suffering deep inside until now. They would have never thought that she was hiding something so deep all alone they considered themselves as her family but they never knew what she was going through.
The other members silently cried together with Mirajane, they were all feeling guilty since they were not able to help her. She had done so much for them yet they hadn't done a single thing from her.
It was now all clear why she was doing a lot of posed from the Sorcerer's Magazine, it was all because she was hoping that Nick will be watching on one and will eventually come back to her. She didn't care about the money or the fame that she received. Just like an ordinary girl, all she needed was love.
"There, there, it's alright," Nick said as he gently caressed her back, as his other hand was hugging her waist. He was also happy that he finally saw her again.
"Idiot! Stupid! Moron! Fool! Jerk!" Mirajane started cursing as she pounded on his chest with her cute and soft hands. Although it didn't hurt physically, seeing her like that hurt him very hard emotionally.
Nick held both of her hands as he kneeled in front of her, "Mira. I am the stupidest person in the world. But this stupid right here loves you more than anything else in the world."
Mirajane also crouched down as she hugged Nick again, wrapping her arms around his neck as she rests her head on his shoulders. Nick also hugged her back while gently patting her back, he knows that he had a lot of things to compensate her.
After a whole minute, Mirajane finally stopped crying as she suddenly realized that everyone was looking at them. She was embarrassed that she hid behind Nick's back. The Shy Mira was new to everyone and this change caught the heart of many especially the males.
Unfortunately, they can only look at her from afar as she already had someone in her life, someone she was willing to wait and suffer, this shows how much she loved him which gave them no chance at all.
"DAAA HA HA HA!!!" A burst of loud laughter was then heard as they all turn to Natsu who was the source of it. "You all got so scared. This is my…"
Natsu was not able to finish his sentence as he was turned into a pulp by a huge foot. Everyone looked at the large shadow figure in front of them, as they all said in unison.
"Master!!"
"Master?!!" Lucy asked in horror as she looked in front of her, she would have never believed that the guild master of Fairy Tail was a huge monster.
The huge figure turned to look at Lucy and then to Nick as he was surprised inwardly. 'He has such a large amount of Magic Power inside of him and it is so pure like I had never seen before.' He thought to himself.
"Newcomers?" He asked.
"Y-Yes!" Lucy answered like a startled cat.
While Nick just nodded at the guild master which ended with Mira smacking his head.
"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!" Master yelled as the wind started to pick up
Lucy was dumbstruck as she was staring at the Guild Master with a shocked expression.
Mirajane went towards the guild master which was now in his human form. She then flashed her signature charming smile.
"I'm sorry about that master he still needs some lesson." Mirajane apologized to the guild master for Nick's earlier action. Which really made him confused why.
Master Makarov Dreyar, the 3rd Guild Master of the Fairy Tail Guild.
He's an extremely short, elderly man. He has black eyes and is growing bald with only the outer rims of his head containing white hair. He also has a thick white mustache. He has a black stamp of the Fairy Tail guild mark that covers his entire chest area. He's currently dressing in a casual manner, with an attire consisting of a white shirt with a black Fairy Tail stamp in the middle under an orange hoodie. His attire is completed with matching orange shorts and an orange and blue striped jester hat.
"Nice to meetcha," Makarov said with a gentle tone, similar to that of a grandpa. He also raised his right arms in a way to greet Lucy, who was just staring at him with shock.
"WHAAATT??!!" Lucy still had a hard time believing it as she never thought that the Fairy Tail Guild Master would be this short. What was even unbelievable was that he was so huge earlier but was now so short.
Makarov suddenly backflipped, he traveled high up in the air to the second floor. However, he crashed into the wall above the balcony.
He landed on the guardrail, stood up on the rail and cleared his throat.
"You've done it again, fools" Makarov yelled, his voice echoed throughout the guild hall. "Look at this documents I received from the council" He yelled, bringing out a stack of papers from his back.
The council or the Magic Council is an organization that manages mage guilds.
"First…" Makarov said as he looked at the paper in his hands. "Gray."
"Huh?" Gray asked confused.
"Good Job on sweeping out the smuggling organization, but you walked around the naked in the town afterward and ran away after stealing underwear that was being dried."
Hearing this, Gray was a little ashamed as he immediately argued. "But… Wouldn't it be worse if I were naked?"
"Then don't be naked in the first place," Elfman said to Gray.
"Elfman!! You had a mission to escort a VIP, but assaulted him during the mission." Makarov said to Elfman.
Elfman then had an apologetic expression on his face as he said. "He said 'Men are all about education' so…"
Macarov shook his head as he continued to read what was on the papers. "Cana Alberona, drinking 15 barrels of alcohol and charging it to the council. Loki… flirting with the council member Reiji's grand-daughter. A certain talent agency charged us for damage compensation, too."
Cana's reaction was that she was only dejected that they found out while Loki just sighs as he was busted by that super hot babe which he really likes and he thought that it was not his fault that he as good looking.
Makarov then turned his head towards Natsu and had a very complicated expression on his face as he read all the complaints about him.
"Natsu!! You destroyed the Devon Thief Family, but also destroyed seven other houses the belongs to the townspeople.
Leveling a historical clock tower in Tully Village.
Burning down a church in Fressia.
Damaging parts of Lupinlis Castle.
Nazuna Ravine observatory collapsed and thus stopped it's operation.
And plunging a ship in the Hargeon's Port."
Lucy was surprised to hear that most of the articles in the magazine about the destruction done by Fairy Tail were mostly by Natsu. And she also felt guilty since it was Aquarius' fault for plunging the ship on the port which means it was also her fault.
"Arzach…"
"Levi…"
"Kulov…"
"Reedus…"
"Warren…"
"Visca…"
Makarov read all the complaints he received from the magic council one by one, he didn't leave anything as he read it all.
"Guys…" With a serious expression, he solemnly said to his members. "The council members are angry at me all the time…."
Lucy looked at the Fairy Tail members who were all looking dejected, while Nick just had his eyes closed as he was sensing where Lisanna would be since he didn't saw her inside the guild.
"But…" Makarov then looked at his members' faces as he set the stack of papers on his hands into the fire. "Forget about the council members."
"Eh!" Lucy was quite surprised by the sudden action of Makarov.
Macarov flung the fire. Natsu then jumped and caught the fire and eat it.
"The power to overcome reasoning is born from reasoning. Magic is not a miracle." He said while looking around.
"When the 'spirit' flow within us and the 'spirit' flow in nature connects, they will form an embodiment for the first time. You will need a strong mentality and a lot of concentration for that. I mean, pouring all your soul into whatever you do is magic.
If you keep on worrying about the watchful eyes of the higher-ups, your magic won't improve. Do not fear the fools of the council.
Do whatever you think is right!!! That's the way of the Fairy Tail Mages!!!"
"Yeah!!" Everyone cheered as they all happily screamed with all of their might. Doing things your own way, not fearing any consequences as long as you don't have any regrets.
….…
Macarov was standing at the table while he was looking at Nick who was in front of him, he still can't believe that he had such big reserve and the purity of his magic power was many times purer than his.
"So what is your magic child?" Makarov asked Nick as he was curious as to what would be his magic.
Nick had no intention on answering his question but he can't since he can see Mirajane staring at him at the back intensely.
"I'm an Elementalist" Nick answered, although he had no bad impression of the old man in front of him, he still finds it hard to talk with others aside from Natsu, Lucy, Mira, Elfman, and Lisanna.
Mirajane was angered by Nick response to Makarov as it was kind of disrespecting and Mirajane held very great respect to Makarov as he was like a father figure to her and her siblings.
She threw a mug towards Nick which he just stopped using his space magic, everyone was still surprised to see him stopped it in mid-air. They just saw that his eyes turned starry whenever he stopped something.
"Hahaha. Mira, don't be so harsh on him, I don't mind it at all." Macarov was not the least bit offended as he can clearly see in Nick's eyes that he held no disrespect, he was only having a hard time communicating with the others.
Macarov thought that if he stays together with Natsu, he will gradually open himself to others since Natsu is very carefree.
As a compensation, I will be adding another chapter for today but the other chapters that I missed for this 4 days will have to wait cause I have a perfectly good reason for why I wasn't able to release any chapters or even make one. But that is for the future to be told.. chow!
