Let's start
"ERZA IS BACK" One of the fairy tail members screamed out in terror as the whole guild quickly cleaned the whole place, or more correctly they threw out all the broken furniture's while they replaced them with new ones. Which was quite normal since they had a room just filled with different furniture's to replace with the ones they destroyed.
In just a few minutes every thing was cleaned up and soon after that, the guildhalls door opened up showing both Natsu and Erza. It was as the guild suspected, Erza looked around seeking if there were anything she needed to fix but to her surprise, there was nothing she could complain about just yet. The thing they didn't suspect was that Erza and Natsu were actually talking to each other and they didn't seem like they hated it. Which came as a surprise since Erza would normally not chit chat a lot. Then we had Natsu that would not normally talk with many of the guild members since they didn't meet his standards. But their confusion didn't last long and they could not figure out why they seemed friendly with each other as Natsu and Erza parted quite fast since Natsu had a debt to pay.
"Here are all the jewels I owe you Mira" Natsu said when he had walked over to her with a small relieved smile as he had finally paid back for all the things he got from Mira. Even if this was all his reward money from the mission it was still worth it.
"HMPH if you ever need another loan or anything just ask that fat tin can instead of me" Mira said as she pouted still mad about Natsu choosing that red-haired bitch over her and she just got madder when she saw that they seemed to have a great time together.
"Is Mirajane sulking? No, she is mad. Then Why don't she just hit him?" questioned the few members that overheard what they were saying as they had never seen her sulk before. The thing that was weirder was that she didn't hit him like she would against any other member that would make her mad.
"Mira? Are you still mad from before" Natsu asked as he remembers that Lisanna had more or less demanded him to fix it, but the problem is he doesn't even know what he did to make Mira mad at him and. Even if he did, he would not apologize since he has not done anything wrong.
"well, I guess that's it" Natsu said a bit disappointed since he didn't get a reason by Mira but as he started to walk away from Mira she suddenly spoke.
"IF you say I'm better than that fat bitch and you always go on more mission with me then her. If you do that, I forgive you" Mira said as she demanded quite little for her to forgive him. The main reason why she did that was that she could not let Natsu join Erza's side even if she didn't think he would do that. The other was that she just enjoyed her time with him and he was one of her few friends that were not her family.
"of course, your better then Erza I haven't even fought her yet but I will hopefully soon, and we can go on as many missions as you want as long as they are exiting" Natsu responded since the mission with Erza was quite exciting in the end and Mira are more of a daredevil. Which would probably mean the mission she decided on would be even more exciting then the mission with Erza.
"Well lets first see how good you are at slaying monsters" Mira told him as it was her favorite kind of mission to do. It was fun and a good way to release some stress.
"you really dare to think that I'm not better than you at slaying monsters? Then let's have a contest, you can pick the mission but it must be with a lot of monsters and let's see who can slay the most monsters" Natsu dared Mira with a grin as he could not let anyone questions his strength plus this would be fun.
"Ohhh you're on and I'm going to make sure you know who is the best" Mira said with a smile as she was all fired up about the mission and before long both of them had left the guild on a quest to see who can slay the most monsters. Leaving Erza grumbling at the bar while eating her strawberry cheesecake.
"It seems like the kid is starting to fit in." A young man sitting at the bar said he with dark blue hair named Macao said. He was sitting next to the guild master Makarov as they were looking over the guild from the bar, of course with beers in their hands.
"yes, he really is. He is a bit different, but he is not an evil child we just need to guide him on the right way" Makarov said with a gentle face. He was insecure before if Natsu could be part of this family mainly because he was totally different than anyone that has ever joined fairy tail. All that worrying disappeared as soon as he saw him and Erza walking inside the guild together both had an extremely small smile which most probably wouldn't notice, but he did. Not only that but he was also talking with MiraJane that could also give him sleepless nights with worry. The reason for that was not because of her attitude but that she didn't really have a lot of friends, but it seemed like he doesn't need to worry about her any longer.
"I don't think he is evil just a very unique child but probably in a bad way" Macao said with a burst of guilty laughter as he didn't want to think bad about a guild member but there was nothing he could say that was positive about him.
"I think you are not alone about that but hopefully we can change that opinion and hopefully we can change him for the better" Makarov retorted still with a gentle voice as he truly believed that Natsu could change for the better and that the guild could open their hearts for him.

In the blink of an eye half a year went past but under this time nothing drastically has changed. Natsu was still going on missions with Mira slaying different kind off monsters and they were still competing who could kill the most so far Mira had only won twice of at least a hundred matches. He still owed Cana a favor, but she had yet to say what she wanted but, in the meantime, they had starting to bet a lot with each other making some of the guild members wondering if they had a gambling addiction. Natsu was still going on missions with Erza and sometimes with Cana as they were two of the few he gets along with. The other thing that he did when he was not going on mission or train was learning how to write and read, and now he could do both perfectly to Erza's standard which truly was quite high. Even with all this happening, he was still sitting at the bar completely bored next to the dark blue haired man named Macao. The reason why he was bored was quite simply no one fun was in the guild and there was only boring mission at the moment.
"you don't look so good" Macao said to Natsu while drinking his beer. The only response he got from Natsu was that he looked at Macao a bit and then completely ignored him.
'he is not bad. Just an uncivilized child' Macao thought to himself as he continued to try to talk to Natsu.
"how can you be so down right now? there are people drinking and laughing there's even a brawl that is starting. What could possibly be better than this...of course a lady could make this better" Macao said as he said the last part to himself as soon as he said this a chair came flying knocking him off the bar chair while another man started to laugh out loud.
"WAKABA, I KNOW IT WAS YOU" Macao screamed as he didn't hesitate to join the guild brawl aiming to knock out his buddy.
"But I can't even fight with all I got in these fight" Natsu mumble out as it didn't excite him in the same wat a real fight did. He continued to kind of sulk until Makarov come out of his office as he looked over his whole big family. Makarov looked over and saw all their happy faces even the ones in the brawl wore a smile. But there was one person that didn't smile so the guild master went over to him.
"One big beer" Makarov called out to the barmaid
"Why are you sitting here all alone and down Natsu" Makarov questioned to get his attention which he succeeded at.
"You asked the same thing as the dark blue haired guy asked and if you must know I'm just bored." Natsu answered his guild master's questions.
"Bored hmmmmmm you won't be bored for long, I can promise you that" Makarov said as he realized this was the day he would come. When Makarov said this Natsu's eyes sparkled with life again as if he had never been bored.
"What is going to happen" Natsu wondered interested in this event mainly because he would do anything to not be bored anymore.
"You see we have this one person that is quite unique. He travels a lot and he is also fairy tails ace." Makarov explained to Natsu as he avoided talking about the other side of him, the perverted side.
"wait does that mean that he is stronger than you Makarov?" Natsu said all exited leaning in against Makarov with brightly shining eyes. This shocked Makarov for a second but then answered his guildmember
"You know there a reason why I'm a wizard saint and he is not" Makarov told Natsu to impress him even if the only reason why the other person was not a wizard saint is that he does not fit the magic council image of wizard saints.
"Wizard saint?" Natsu asked confused as he had never heard this term before in his life.
"Oh, I guess it's obvious you don't know about wizard saints, let me explain. Our country Fiora has a magic council where powerful mages get together and help decide on how a guild should be ruled and things that are affected because of magic. They also appoint wizard saint which are people that they view as the strongest mages in Fiora and I'm number six out of ten." Makarov told with a small smug smile as he drank his beer.
"Who are they and where can I find them?" Natsu hastily asked as he needed a good fight right now, well he always needed a good fight but this time he just needed it a bit more.
"I don't know to be honest, we all have different responsibility for example the number one wizard saint has to go on missions that even a normal S class mage would fail and most likely die at." Makarov lied to our dragon slayer but only about the part where they were, as soon as he says the smile on Natsu face disappeared he added one thing.
"But I can promise you that I will fix it so you can meet some of them later on" Makarov Promised the young dragon slayer as he would hold his promise but he didn't say when he would meet them. The real reason why he didn't want Natsu to meet the wizard saints was that Natsu would try to fight them. Makarov knew that even if Natsu is outstanding at his age he still doesn't stand any chance against any of the current wizard saints. But at the same time, he also knew that Natsu would be able to fight wizard saint if he continued to train hard for multiple years.
"That's a promise, then when is Fairy tails ace going to come?" Natsu said with a grin as a promise is something you should never break.
"He said he would be here an hour ago, so he is already late like usual, but he will probably be here today, hopefully" Markov explained while stroking his mustache.
"I guess I will have to wait" Natsu answered as he once again was bored with nothing to do except waiting since Makarov couldn't just talk with Natsu all the time he needs to be there for the whole guild. He leaned forward on the counter and rested his arms on it as he waited on the person that Makarov told him about. He waited an hour, and nothing happened, two hours and still nothing, five hours and still no one new appeared as it was still the same weak members here. But as he was finally going to question Makarov if he were coming today something strange happened, something that Natsu had never seen before.
"MAGNOLIA WILL NOW CHANGE TO GILDARTS SHIFT, RESIDENTS PLEASE MOVE TO THE DESIGNATED AREAS!" A loud voice told the whole Magnolia as everyone in the city could hear it. As soon as Natsu heard this he moved in front of a window while the whole city started to change. it rumbles like an earthquake while the houses started to move to form a path from the fairy tails entrance until the end of the town, as there was not a single thing in the way as it would get destroyed if it was. A tall muscular man with just about shoulder length orange hair walked in the path. He was wearing rather simple clothes as he wore a long black high collard cloak with shoulder plates, around his waist there was a belt. He wears loose-fitting dark pants that were stuffed into his simple gray boots. He was also wearing a bag over his left shoulder.
"Natsu what do you think about fairy tails strongest member, Gildarts Clive?" Makarov asked Natsu as he walked to him when Magnolia started to change.
"He seems..." Natsu started off but got interrupted by a white bright light as a loud explosion could be heard after that. When the bright light disappeared, a new thing appeared a big wide hole right next to the guild hall doors while the Ace Gildarts walked through while rubbing the back of his head with a small smile.
"GILDARTS WHAT HAVE I SAID ABOUT DESTROYING THE WALLS, THINK OF ALL THE MONEY WE LOSE BECAUSE OF YOU" Makarov screamed in frustration as he did this every time he came to the guild.
"It's fine it's just a wall right, it's not like I hurt any beautiful ladies." Gildarts said as he looked around seeking not if he had hurt anyone but to look if any sexy ladies were here for him to seduce since he was still the womanizer that would almost do anything to get a lady in his bed.
"MY OFFICE NOW" Makarov told him as he would make sure Gildarts would not do this again.
"Not again" Gildarts mumble out in disappointment as he made his way to Makarov office. Most of the guild started to laugh at the poor man as they continued with their fun. Nab would stare at the mission board, Reedus would paint, Macao and Wakaba went back to drinking/fighting as usual while trying to flirt with the barmaid, Jet and Droy would try to please Levy as she sat and read her book. Gray would do his usual routine which was stripping then walk around looking for his clothes and Natsu would go back at the bar waiting. But this time it was not out of boredom instead it was with excitement since he would probably be able to fight against Gildarts later on. He would finally get a real big fight that Natsu was looking forward to.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
In the office Makarov were sitting down at his desk while Gildarts were in front of the desk sitting while getting ready to get scolded by him.
"Do you know how much money just went to waste because of you? Do you understand how much booze I could buy with that money?" Makarov sighted as he rubbed his forehead.
"I'm sorry?" Gildarts responded more as a question then an apology because he had not hurt anyone so who cares if he destroyed a wall or two.
"yes, you are sorry since I will have you pay back every jewel that wall costs to fix and if you don't do that, I will take all of the alcohol you are hiding in your home" Makarov explaining as it was finally worth it to search Gildarts whole house when he was out to find the alcohol under Gildarts bed.
"Unless you do a favor for me" Makarov continued since he still had a heart and the wall didn't cost that much if he were to be honest, Makarov just wanted him to do this favor for him and to maybe change his way of destroying a new wall every time he gets here.
"What favor?" Gildarts wonder mostly because he had no choice, he had already spent all his money on booze which meant he could lose all the precious alcohol if he could not pay it up.
"It's nothing special I just want you to meet a person and probably fight him without breaking his whole body" Makarov explained to the man with a smile.
"you know I'm bad at holding back" GIldarts retorted since he truly had monstrously strength, but even if he was that strong, he could not fully control it if he didn't focus on it. Which were also the reason why Magnolia had a Gildarts shift.
"Then I guess you will have to pay up, with jewels or booze" Markov said with a grin as there was no way he could lose in this scenario. The orange haired man sighed in frustration as he gave up.
"where is he or she at" Gildarts asked since he better get this over with, so he could go back to drinking with all his might while trying to set a new record on how many barrels of beer he could drink before throwing up or passing out.
"just look for a boy with pink hair, and I need to warn you he is unique, but he is not a bad child. Just a child with a different background then most" Makarov explained so Gildarts would not totally get shocked by Natsu.
"I'm sure it's fine, everyone if fairy tail is family so what makes him different from the rest?" Gildarts laughed out as he finally left Makarov office with a huge grin as he survived Makarov without losing his alcohol.
"now where to find him, pink hair, pink hair" Gildarts mumbled as he scanned the room until he finally found his target a pink haired boy sitting at the bar with a mug that was broken in his hand for some reason. But the shards quickly disappeared thanks to the barmaids which Gildarts would of course flirt with later.
"so, you are the kid Makarov wanted me to talk to" said Gildarts as he orders a beer while sitting next to Natsu.
"if you are fairy tail ace then I hope so" Natsu said trying to sound uninterested but his eyes could not lie as they were looking at him with excitement as they were shining brightly.
"That's me fairy tails ace" Gildarts respond blissfully as he got addressed as fairy tails ace and not for an old sleazy fool
"Would you have a fight against me?" Natsu asked directly while resolving himself that he would probably lose but he would never accept that there was a zero percent chance he would lose.
"Wait, wait, wait let's start with the introduction. I am fairy tails ace but I'm more than that I am Gildarts Clive the ladies' dream man" Gildarts expressed with proudness, while he was introducing himself Natsu was grumbling about how he could forget to introduced himself and that he needed to do better.
"I'm Natsu Dragneel the prince of the fire dragons, the son of Igneel the mighty Fire dragon king" Natsu introduced himself with his titles and with proudness.
"Wait, did you just say that your dad is a dragon?" Gildarts questioned with curiosity mostly because he had only heard stories about the mystical creatures called dragons.
"yes, I did and not just a dragon but a dragon king" Natsu explained to the older man while correcting him since it was a big difference between a normal dragon and a dragon king. Both in their status but also in their strength.
"Then tell me about the dragon king that raised you. His name was Igneel right?" Gildarts said as he hoped he said the right name since it seemed very important to Natsu. The reaction Gildarts got form Natsu was that he seemed surprised for a second but it was quickly replaced with a huge grin.
"Of course. Your right his name is Igneel and he is..." Natsu started off to talk about everything about Igneel from his look to his personality, he even talked about some of their adventures together. Under all those hours that they were talking Gildarts was never bored, he was laughing, getting excited, he was just having a great time. It was like the two of them had been friends for a long time which was the biggest surprise to the guild. The whole guild was shocked with what they saw since it was hard to even approach Natsu and even if you did, he was not interested in talking with them at all, but here he was talking with Gildarts as if they were great friends.
"I got to say your stories are the best I have heard for a long time" Gildarts told as he drank the last part of his fourth barrel of beer
"Of course, they are which story would not be great with a dragon in it" Natsu stated as a fact which made Gildarts and Makarov chuckle. Makarov had been listening in on their conversation for a while and he was surprised but it was a happy surprise that Gildarts and Natsu got along so good.
"I think you are right" Gildarts admitted since he had yet to hear a boring story about dragons and Natsu's only made the dragon stories even better than before
"of course, I am, now it's your turn to answer a question. Can we now fight?" Natsu asked Gildarts as he really wanted to fight Gildarts and now more than before since he quite likes him and fighting a strong opponent is always great.
"Natsu I'm don't think is a great choice. I'm quite strong you know, and they don't call me the ladies' man for nothing" Gildarts told him with a big smile trying to not sound mean. But as he saw Natsu he could only see the disappointment in his eyes.
"just accept the fight Gildarts" Makarov suddenly told the fairy tails ace because he knew Natsu loved to fight strong opponents and the more people Natsu opened up for the better. Even if the person he opened up to was an old drunk womanizer but still an insanely strong fool plus if Gildarts denied it he would lose all his alcohol.
"if you say so Master BUT we do it tomorrow. it is getting quite late and I have some plans tonight hopefully" Gildarts said as he was going to try to seduce some ladies.
"Then let's fight when the sun arises" Natsu hastily told Gildarts as he left the guild with a huge grin and the intention to just get a bit stronger before beating Gildarts tomorrow.
"That was quite fast if I say so" Gildarts chuckled out
"it indeed was, but you know he is not a bad child just a bit misunderstood and have some different values then a normal person" Makarov explained to Gildarts even if he didn't think Gildarts thought bad about him.
"how could he be bad? Didn't you hear all those stories about him and Igneel? He sounds just like me when I was young, a wild boy testing his limits every chance, he gets" explained Gildarts while he remembered a certain story about how Natsu wanted to test if he could fly. So, Natsu jumped of Igneel while he was flying, well the result was he could not fly and Igneel had to save the day again.
"He thinks differently because he was raised by dragons and it seems they think that the strong lives and the weak die, we just need to teach him that everyone is important even the so-called weak." Makarov told him as he thought that Natus simply didn't know anything better than this.
"There is no place better than fairy tail then, we are a guild with both strong and weak members, but we are still just a huge family." was the response Gildarts gave Makarov
"could not even say that better myself" Makarov said with a gentle smile
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"Now Natsu what do you say about making this a bit more interesting?" Gildarts told Natsu as it was a new day and it was finally time for them to fight against each other. Gildarts were scratched his beard since even if it was exciting to fight a son of a dragon it could still be more interesting.
"What do you have in mind?" Natsu wondered since what could be more interesting than fighting to test your limits, to get stronger.
"A bet, if you win you get...ehhhhhh...you...get...just make a wish and I will do what I can to fulfill it. But if you lose you need to do a favor for me of my choosing" Gildarts explained as he thought about making him get more alcohol from different countries.
"Deal" Natsu said as he were ready to start this duel and if he won, he could fight against GIldarts whenever he wanted as that were a perfect wish.
"Then let's get this fight going" Gildarts responded while just standing there not taking any fighting stance or anything. Natsu didn't seem to mind it as we're not going to let this chance go.
"FIRE DRAGON ROAR" was the first attack that was unleashed in this fight. the fire tornado went straight at Gildarts but the only reaction he got form Gildarts was that he pulled his hand Forward while standing still. The fire quickly covered Gildarts without trouble, but a white light was suddenly coming out from where Gildarts stands.
"I wonder if you can change an ugly woman into a hot woman with this fire" Gildarts half-joked from the fire as just in a few seconds the fire got crushed by the white light coming from Gildarts leaving no trace of it. As soon as the fire disappeared GIldarts appeared standing there completely unharmed which made Natsu gulped not in fear or shock but in excitement.
"Well let's see if I can turn you hot then we have our answer" Natsu said back as he started to sprint at Gildarts while covering his fist with fire.
"as I told you before I'm not very good at holding back." Gildarts told Natsu as Natsu threw a fire dragon iron fist aiming at Gildarts abdomen. But before He could hit Gildarts just simple karate chop Natsu back making him land directly at the ground face down.
"I'm quite impressed with myself, holding back this much is a new record." Gildarts said as he looked down where Natsu was laying as he slowly started to get up from the ground.
"It doesn't matter how strong you are I will still give all I got and it's a lot more" Natsu explained to Gildarts as he wasted no time, he jumped straight at Gildarts trying to surprise hit him at his jaw only for Gildarts to catch his hand and throws him away like a rag.
'he got power but that's it, all his attacks are filled with openings almost like he has no fighting experience" Gildarts thought to himself as he then said
"You need to do a lot better than that to even scratch me" taunted Gildarts
"I'm just getting started. I'm all fired up" Natsu answered. He thrust himself at Gildarts while he covered himself completely in fire. Engaging in close combat with Gildarts, Natsu's attacks were blocked with just Gildarts right hand which had some faint light on it. Gildarts was blocking one after the other with just one hand as he would from time to time counter Natsu's attacks which always knocked him down, but Natsu always rose up again. This cycle went on for a whole hour until Gildarts finally had enough
"Hey kid let's stop this now" Gildarts said as he had once again thrown Natsu on the ground but Natsu was slowly but surely standing up.
"no, not yet I'm still all fired up now and getting ready to win this bet" Natsu eagerly told Gildarts as he spits out some blood onto the ground. Even if he was in pain it was nothing compared to the excitement he was feeling, his whole body was filled with adrenaline.
"I guess I will hit you a bit harder this time" Gildarts told him since he was worried about Natsu and he could not even see a way that Natsu would be able to win this bet at his current strength. But that didn't matter to Natsu as he was charging at Gildarts with full speed as he would bet everything on this attack, an attack that he had yet to completely master.
While Natsu was charging at Gildarts, Gildarts was simply yawing as he suddenly saw a woman behind Natsu which was quite weird since they were at the outskirt of a forest quite a bit from Magnolia. Gildarts stared at the women as perverted thought clouded his mind when Natsu suddenly appeared in front of him. He was covered in the fire while yelling an attack. Gildarts didn't have time to think but his body reacted on its own, he punched Natsu right at his chest. but the problem was since his body reacted on his own, he couldn't correct which strength he used. When the fist collided with Natsu chest Natsu flew away, far enough that Gildarts could not even see him anymore all thanks to him accidentally punching him with a unknown amount of strength.
"OHHH shit I lost my self-restraint" Gildarts sheepish laughed at it guilty but when the women once again appeared, he had other thoughts in mind.
"it should be fine right? let's go with that. THE SEXY LADY OVER THERE WAIT FOR ME" Gildarts called out to the women that he was going to try picking up
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
It was the next day in the evening and so far Gildarts had not seen Natsu at all but he must be fine right? Well at least that's what Gildarts thought and it's the thought that counts. Gildarts almost didn't change his normal routine as it was a simple routine consisting of drinking alcohol and trying to pick up women. But today he changed a bit of his routine as he was sitting at the bar next to Makarov holding a brown envelope.
"do you have it" Makarov quietly asked Gildarts while making sure he looks forward so that no one could see them chatting.
"Of course, I have it, do you have your part?" Gildarts questioned as Makarov put up a bottle that was covered by paper making it impossible to see what kind of bottle it is.
"yes, now show me that your part it's real" Makarov told in all seriousness while holding the bottle as if his life was on the line. Gildarts responded by slowly opening the envelope pulling up a magazine just so Makarov could glans at it to see the title.
"Playboy Bosco version, you can only get this in Bosco under a limited period time" Makarov sighted in relief as he pushed over the bottle to Gildarts. Gildarts pushed the once again sealed envelope to Makarov while taking the bottle and ripping apart the paper around it. It was a bottle with just a crown in the middle of it and nothing more.
"one of the few bottles of alcohol made just for when the king holds an exceptional big celebration" Gildarts said in awe as there were just a few bottles of this alcohol.
"now the trade is complete and no refund is available" Gildarts and Makarov said to each other while hiding the object they got from each other both with a grin on their faces.
"Two big beers" Makarov said out loud as he ordered it from the barmaid while turning around to face Gildarts and they started to act like they normally would
"Now to a little less serious thing. What do you think about Natsu fighting style" Makarov wondered mainly because he wanted to see if Gildarts found any flaws in him that Makarov had yet to find.
"It's complicated. On one hand, his magical power is huge for his age and his physic is the best I have seen in a child, but he is wide open when he fights making it easy to counters his attack. He has the power and speed, but it doesn't matter if he fights an experienced fighter that can abuse the way he fights. "Gildarts explained seriously
"Seems like you have come to the same conclusion as me, well it's not weird since he was raised by a dragon and I guess he didn't learn Natsu hand to hand combat. We need to help him with that and also need to fix a part of his attitude since it is getting on some of the guildmembers nerves" Makarov sighted desperate as he really needed to fix it before something happens that can't be undone. He also added we and not just him as there was no way he was going to do all that work by himself.
"Well there's nothing I can do so I will just drink my beer and stare at this beautiful barmaid" Gildarts said as he winked at the barmaid and gave his signature charming smile.
"Hmm there is a thing you could do, you could train him and at the same time teach him how to behave since he seems quite fond of you" Makarov said with an eagerly smile since that would be the best outcome he could think of.
"NO, I won't teach him or anyone it's too much of a hassle. Just let him be himself and let's see what happens." responded Gildarts lazily while not taking his eyes of the barmaid.
"Oh, that reminds me, have you seen Natsu today?" Makarov asked as the last time he saw Natsu was the day before Natsu was going to fight Gildarts.
"last time I saw him he flew away" Gildarts responded almost unconscious as he was hypnotized by the bar maid's moment around the bar.
"HE FLEW AWAY? What happened yesterday" Makarov asked rashly making Gildarts look at him meagerly
"ehh more accurate something hit him, so he flew away when we fought" Gildarts explained while trying to shift the blame to someone else.
"I TOLD YOU TO NOT GO ALL OUT, did you at least go and check on him" Makarov screamed out furious while his head started to get red as they were getting the attention of the whole guild.
"I was going to but there was a really really really really sexy women that I saw, I just needed to get her and Natsu is really strong, so he should be fine don't you think so? Of course, you think so. Then it's fine and no punishment is needed" Gildarts apologized while trying to make it sound all good as he hastily stood up
"ONE WEEK WITHOUT ANY BEER" Makarov told Gildarts as a punishment. There were not going to be any mercy for him even if he was Fairy tails ace.
"EHHH NO WAY I CAN'T LIVE THAT LONG WITHOUT MY BEER" Gildarts screamed, begged Makarov
"Then do you want THAT instead?" Makarov asked with a sleazy smile knowing the answer
"NO one week without beer it's fine, it's good, it's perfect, but at least allow me one last cup of beer" Fairy tails ace pleaded while praying to anyone, anything that he was going to receive a good response. When Makarov heard this, he looked around to see the guild hall was staring at them with curiosity. He leaned into Gildarts ear as he whispered.
"If you bring me another Magazine" Makarov said with a perverted smile as he was blackmailing his guild members.
"Deal" Gildarts responded while wasting no time to drink his last cup of beer for this whole week. While he was doing this the guild hall doors open, and some familiar faces came shifting the attention from them to the guild doors.
"There he is. See I told you he is fine so what do you say about to remove my ban from beer" Gildarts explained while pointing at the opening where Natsu stood with some tattered clothes while two white-haired girls were standing next to him.
"Absolutely not" Makarov said strictly. While looking to see if there were anything weird with Natus but he didn't notice anything.
"Can you now tell us why you were coming flying right at us?" Lisanna pleaded as Mira was also asking the same question since she would never believe that could happen if she didn't see it with her own eyes. Natsu just mumbled something but neither Mira or Lisanna could hear what he said but since they didn't hear what he said they just continued to bother him with questions about why he came flying at them.
"I guess he is on Mira's side then" Gildarts said as there was two sides Mira's and Erza as the children were split between these two. Well most of them were on Erza's side for an unknown reason.
"I wouldn't say that he gets along quite good with Erza ever since they went on a mission together for some reason" Makarov answer but as soon as Makarov said this Gildarts started to laugh.
"Stop joking there is no way that he could be on good term with both Erza and Mira" Gildarts said in disbelieves
"Want to bet on it? If you win I take away the punishment but If I win you pay for all the destruction for this whole month" Makarov said eagerly while thinking of all the things he could buy with the money he would save,
"Deal" Gildarts responded confidently since they were no way he could be friends with both Mira and Erza especially Erza since it seemed to Gildarts that their personalities clash against each other. They waited for a while but in the end, she came back dragging an unconscious Gray behind her without any clothes on him. She dragged him to the infirmary as she left him there, she then walked to the bar and did something that both Makarov and Gildarts thought was weird she ordered one strawberry cheesecake and one raspberry cheesecake. As soon as the cakes were placed on the counters Natsu of all people came and sat next to Erza as she started to complain about how ignorant Gray was and that she needed to teach him better. Meanwhile, Natus was enjoying his cake and joined in on complaining about Gray as he had shaken of Mira and Lisanna. While this was going on a huge grin spread across Makarovs face while a depressed Gildarts sat next to him completely devastated.
"How could this have happened" Gildarts mumble in despair now he has to wait a week until he could drink again and he even has to pay for the destruction of the guild for a whole month.
"what a wonderful world we live in" Makarov amusingly told Gildarts.
"how can he get along with both of them" Gildarts wondered still in disbelief
"I guess he is a weird Casanova for some reason" Makarov explained as he could not either understand why they liked him as Gildarts suddenly brightened up.
'Wait, if he can get along with MiraJane and Erza that means he can talk to almost anyone, if he can talk to anyone and anyone can like him that means more girls could possibly fall for him, if girls fall for him some of them will join fairy tail and some of them will grow up to true beauties that I can see when I get to the guild, but he is still only a child that needs a true man to guide him to get more girls to join fairy tail', all this was what Gildarts thought as this was the weird stuff he used his brain power to think of. Gildarts completely ignored Makarov as he walked directly at Natsu and said with a loud voice
"Natsu will you become my student" Gildarts said wholeheartedly with the simple reason that he believed Natsu could bring more women to the guild with his guidance.
"no, I can train by myself" Natsu responded as even if Gildarts were strong there was no reason for him to train Natsu as he could train himself and get strong enough to even beat Gildarts.
"Because you are too weak at the moment, and if you want to become a true man you need my guidance" Gildarts retorted while trying to take advantage of what Natsu believed since Natsu were weak compared to Gildarts. his words cut Natsu deep as he could not even deny it since Gildarts was way stronger than him.
"even if I am weaker then you, I will become stronger it's just a matter of time" Natsu said trying to remain strong against Gildarts as he was still the son of a dragon.
"then you leave me no choice, I won our bet, so I get to wish that you become my student" Gildarts said with a foolish smile
"A bet is a bet... I guess I'm your student now" Natsu said in a monotone as he accepted it without any problems since a bet is a bet and if he didn't accept it why would anyone believe him.
"GREAT we start your training tomorrow morning, I need to plan for your training" Gildarts said with a unique weird smile as went back to talking with Makarov leaving Natsu with no option but to do what his said since now Gildarts was Natsu trainer. If you were looking at Gildarts and Makarov everyone could see they were having perverted smiles while whispering about something. Even if this happened the weird atmosphere of people being completely confused quickly disappeared and the guild went back to their business for just a moment until a certain ice mage named Gray jumped up on a table with only a pair of boxers on while screaming.
"HEY PINK HAIRED FREAK, FIGHT ME" Gray screamed at Natsu as he just woken up in the infirmary
"Not again" Natsu grumble as he wondered if he would stop trying to fight him if he broke a few of Gray's ribs. The reason why he thought that was because Gray would try to fight him every chance he got and each time Natsu would just knock him out in one hit.
"GRAY, YOU WON'T FIGHT IN THIS GUILDHALL" Erza called out with a demanding voice as she folded her arms while glaring at Gray.
"but he" Gray started off while pointing at Natsu but was cut off by Erza
"NO but! you will not fight against Natsu" Erza explained Assertively which quickly made Gray clam down as he meekly went down from the table since he didn't feel like getting a beating from Erza once again in the same day.
"I leave you for now, but I will beat you up next time" Gray grumble out as while walking over to a corner still grumbling that he can't do anything while Erza was here.
"can't he do something else than wasting my time? he is so boring to fight it only takes one hit and he is out, maybe I should just brake some of his bones" Natsu said as he seriously thought about it.
"Natsu you very well know that it's not accepted to hurt one of our own guild members." Erza responded after all she could not let Natsu do that even if she could understand why Natsu was irradiated at Gray.
"Makarov said so, but does it still counts if I accidentally hurt him in a fight?" Natsu wondered while he was seriously thinking if it was worth doing or not.
"NATSU, you won't do anything of that sort" Erza stated of demanding mainly because it was wrong, seeing that hurting a friend or family members is never accepted no matter what.
"I can decide that for myself" the fire dragon slayer responded while almost glaring at Erza cause even if he were usually enjoying her company, he could not let her completely rule what he could do and not. When Erza heard this, she was raising her fist with the gauntlet on as she would hit Natsu to discipline him, but she put her fist down again and went back to eating her cake.
"Just don't do it okay? Erza told Natsu while calming herself down as she would not hit Natsu because he was still the one that saved her life.
"Then I hope you will keep him from fighting me" Natsu explained to Erza not as a threat but just a statement since he had no clue how long he would last before he really would break some of his bones.
"I can deal with that" Erza agreed as this were a good opportunity to make Gray avoid fighting in the guild especially when it was against Natsu.
"then that's a promise. Now before that weakening and Gildarts interrupted you talked about your new magical armor" Natsu told as he changed the subject because he would rather talk about something interesting and Erza seemed to agree as her eyes started to shine.
"I call it adamantine armor and its job is to be able to protect against any magical attack, it's going be made of this special metal that is the hardest metal I know. I can show a drawing of it." Erza responded as she loved talking about her armors and how to create them. She showed a quite bad drawing as she explained its every function and color. Meanwhile, Natsu listened exited while not caring about the drawing, they continued to talk while eating their cakes.
Erza was slowly changing or more rightly opening up, she shared a cake with Natsu even if it was only a Raspberry cake and nota strawberry cheesecake. She started to talk more about herself and less about just was is right and wrong, Erza was slowly changing because of Natsu intervening. Changing because of the boy that saved her life but is it for the better or worse?
