Chapter One: The Next Wizard Saint

In a land far, far away, lies the Kingdom of Fiore.

A small, peaceful nation of seventeen million and a place filled with magic.

Found in every home, bought and sold in every marketplace. For most, magic is merely a tool, a normal part of everyday life.

For some, however, magic is an art, and they've devoted their lives to its practice.

These are the wizards.

Banded together into magical guilds, they client their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore, including the ever-famous Fairy Tail.

However, the wizards of these guilds did not become famous overnight. It took hard work and training to get where they are.

Many went to the different magic schools across the country to better master their craft.

There is one such magic school that is considered to be the best in Fiore. Located on an island just a few miles off the coast, it will no doubt continue to nurture the wizards of tomorrow well into the future.

It is known as the Academia of Magic.

(Magnolia Town, The Kingdom of Fiore, Ishgar)

Welcome to Magnolia Town, home of some of the most famous wizards in Fiore.

Seto Kaiba, a master Requip wizard and the CEO of Kaiba Corp.

Joey Wheeler, a Beast Soul Take-Over wizard who was just as strong as the creatures he slew.

And, of course, the Ace of Fairy Tail himself; Yugi Muto.

Speaking of Fairy Tail, this was also the town where you could find the famous guild. A few of its members even lived in town.

One young member was in his apartment right now getting a late start on the day.

He had short, almost puffy brown hair with a light brown patch on top and brown eyes. On the back of his right hand was a dark red Fairy Tail emblem, signifying his membership to the guild.

His outfit consisted of a loose black top under a red leather jacket, blue denim jeans, and black and white trainers. He also had on a brown, leather belt with a pouch on it, something he wore with every outfit.

His name was Jaden Yuki, and he was currently in a race with the clock as he scurried about his apartment getting ready.

Today, the Academia of Magic was holding its entrance exams for the incoming students. Jaden was going to try out for the school so that he could become a better wizard.

The only problem was that he was running late.

He had been up late for a send-off party for a friend, who was also his partner. He was going to a school back in his home country, so he wanted to say goodbye.

Now, he was in a bit of a rush to make sure he got to the exams on time.

"All right! I've got my keys, I've got my bag, and I've got about two minutes to get to the Academia entrance exams before they start! Good thing since I'm not a student yet, they can't throw me in detention hall for being late." Jaden joked as he continued to grab what he needed.

Once he was done, he left his apartment, locking the door behind him.

As he ran out of his building, he almost collided with a familiar figure with tri-colored spiky hair standing by the water.

"Heads up!" Jaden tried to stop, but he was going too fast and ended up running into the figure anyway, falling to the ground on impact. "Sorry!"

"Running a little late, Jaden?" The person asked with humor in his voice.

Jaden looked up to see that the person he had run into was the Ace of Fairy Tail himself, and the grandson of the current guild master.

"Yugi!"

The ace was wearing blue jeans, a black tank top, a neck belt, wrist guards, and two belts. His hair was black with purple tips and gold bangs with sharp facial features and purple eyes.

"You could say that. I overslept from the party last night, so I'm running behind." Jaden explained.

Yugi smiled sympathetically, offering his hand. "You don't say."

Accepting the gesture, the brunette was soon back on his feet. "Thanks."

"Good luck," The older man said as he turned to go.

"Thank you, Yugi! I'll make Fairy Tail proud!" Jaden promised, bowing in respect.

Yugi stopped, gave the young wizard his signature thumbs-up, and walked away.

Smiling, the young wizard turned to the sky, knowing he had to get moving. "I would probably get their faster if I fly…"

Reaching for the keyring he wore on his belt, he pulled off one of the keys and spoke the summoning spell. "Open, Gate of the Eagle! Aquila!"

Before Jaden appeared a magic circle, casting a bright light around him.

Once it cleared, a large Golden Eagle was standing in front of him. It was the size of a magic mobile, maybe bigger.

The bird spirit cawed a greeting to his master, nipping at his hair in a friendly gesture.

"Hi, Aquila. We gotta fly to the next town over." The Celestial Wizard explained, climbing onto the spirit's back.

The eagle spirit nodded before flapping his wings a few times to get lift-off. A minute later, they were in the sky.

Neither spirit or master noticed that Yugi had hung back to watch the two.

He smiled as the boy and eagle soared. "You should be proud of him, Koyo. He's grown into an amazing wizard."

(Kaiba Arena, Dahlia City, Kingdom of Fiore, Ishgar)

The arena was filled with wizards of all magic types and backgrounds. Some were already students, while others were eager applicants ready to get into the academy.

The ones who were already students wore the school uniform.

The boys' uniform consisted of a white dress shirt, black pants, black dress shoes, a red tie, and a blue blazer.

The girl's outfit was similar, only with a black skirt, a red blazer, and a black ribbon tie.

Some had personal touches to the uniform, like a different shirt, going tieless, tights versus socks, etc.

"Once again, all Academia applicants who have passed their entrance exams, please proceed to registration. For those who haven't, better luck next year." A slightly monotone voice over the PA system instructed.

'Yes, and have fun at magic community college.' Thought a snide individual sitting in the teachers' area.

This person had a long blond ponytail, beady little eyes, and pale skin. Even sitting down, he was a tall and skinny individual. While the text says male, that was debated because he was wearing purple lipstick, and his teacher's uniform had pink ruffles for decoration.

His name was Dr. Crowler, Vice-Chancellor of the Academia of Magic.

He was not a nice person to put it lightly.

Back to the exams, the test was relatively simple. It involved using an MPF, a Magic Power Finder, that was given to the school by the Rune Knights.

To pass the test, you had to score above or equal to your proctor's score. Quick and easy.

On one field, a proctor fired a blast of Light Magic at the MPF, bringing up a score of about 200.

Across from him was a kid with light blue hair and silver eyes with glasses. He was wearing a blue shirt, black pants, and green sneakers.

'Oh man, I can barely concentrate with all these academy kids staring at me, judging me. Oh, what I wouldn't give to already be enrolled in the school like them!' He thought, looking up nervously at the students watching the tests.

"Last call for all Academia participants."

Meanwhile, outside at the entrance, a man in a dark suit with sunglasses and two girls wearing the female uniforms were waiting for any last-minute applicants.

After a few minutes, the man looked at his watch and made a decision.

"Well, ladies, that's it. Mark all the no shows, no shows." He said, and the girls started packing up.

"Hold on a minute!" A voice called out.

Surprised, the trio looked around before realizing it came from the sky.

They looked up just in time to see a brunette on a giant eagle swoop down and land a few feet away from them. The downwind from its beating wings almost tore the papers out of their hands.

"You can count Jaden Yuki as present, thank you." He said as he climbed off of Aquila.

Coming out of his shock, the man in the suit held up his clipboard. "Name again."

"Jaden Yuki, from Magnolia Town."

"Caster or Holder?"

"Holder."

"Type?"

"Celestial Spirit Magic."

The man was taken back a little at the answer. "Really? This is the first time we've had a Celestial Wizard come here."

"What do you think of that, Aquila?" Jaden smiled at his spirit. "We haven't even taken the test yet, and already we've made history."

The eagle squawked a response that only his wizard could understand. He then said something else and vanished into golden sparkles.

"Thanks, Aquila."

While spirit and master talked, one of the girls caught sight of Jaden's guild mark. "Hey, that's a Fairy Tail emblem!"

The brunette grinned as he proudly held up his hand for them to see. "That's right, I'm a proud member of Fairy Tail!"

This gave the trio another surprise. One of the teachers at the academy was an S-Class wizard from the same guild.

Wonder if they knew each other?

The man cleared his throat before speaking again. "Anyway, if you would fill out this paperwork, we can let you in for your exam."

Back inside, the blue-haired kid from earlier had finished his test. Still exhausted, he looked down at the field as other applicants finished their exams.

As he watched, he felt a presence come up beside him. He looked over and came face to face with Jaden, who was now engrossed in the fields below.

"Wow, there are some pretty good scores." He said, sizing up the competition.

An exam that caught his eye was one with a boy and a proctor.

The teen looked about his age and was taller than him by a good few inches. He had slicked-back black hair and gray eyes. His outfit consisted of a white t-shirt under a blue sleeveless hoodie, dark gray pants, and white tennis shoes with a gold bracelet on his left wrist.

The proctor was using basic Staff Magic with Magic Bullets and had already attacked the device, coming up with a score of 180.

"All right, new guy," He called to the boy. "Multiple choice; you have a score of 180 to beat. Do you A: throw in the towel, B: beg for mercy, or C: run home to mamma?"

"I'll go with D: none of the above!" The boy with dark hair announced, revealing a British accent. He then started using his finger to make strange letters appear before him.

"Rune Magic?!" The proctor asked, surprised.

"Exactly." The kid said with a slight smile, knowing he had won.

Once the runes were done, he launched them at the MPF. When they made contact, the device seemed to spark for a minute before spitting out a score of 250.

"Clever move, applicant. Welcome to the academy." The proctor said.

"Thank you, oh, wise proctor." The teen said dryly as he bowed.

Up in the stands, three boys wearing the Academia school uniforms were watching the other exams.

The one on the left with blue hair and glasses was Taiyou Maki, and the one on the right with short, spiky, brown hair was Raizou Goki. Both were the faithful lackeys to the boy with spiky black hair in the middle, Chazz Princeton.

"Wow, that guy is pretty good, don't you think, Chazz?" Taiyou said with a Southern accent.

"Guess the rumors about him being some kind of whiz-kid were true, huh, Chazz? Huh?" Raizou added in a thick voice.

"He's a punk!" Chazz responded, unimpressed. "We studied magic under master wizards for the past three years, we're ready for the academy! These kids don't know what they're getting into, but they'll learn… the hard way, the Chazz Princeton way."

Meanwhile, Jaden was talking with the other teen-wizard like they knew each other for years. "Wow, that last guy really tore it up."

"Yeah, Bastion Misawa. They say he got the highest score on the written exam of all us applicants."

"Wow. I just barely passed!"

It wasn't from lack of trying, Jaden just hadn't found the time to study between going on job requests for the guild.

"Yeah, me, too. My name's Syrus, by the way. Nice to meet you." Syrus introduced himself before looking somewhat depressed. "I kind of have a thing where I get test anxiety. I don't know how I got through my test."

"So, you're in!" Jaden exclaimed, patting the other on the back. "Congratulations! I'll be in, too, as soon as I take my test."

"Wait, you haven't taken your exam yet?" Syrus asked, surprised.

"No," Jaden replied, wondering what was wrong.

"Then you might have a problem. I think this was supposed to be the last one!" Syrus explained, causing Jaden to face plant on the rail.

At the booth where the faculty was sitting, everyone was talking about the new students as they packed up.

"Looks like we have a pretty good crop this year."

"Yes, indeedy."

Crowler just sat there, not paying attention to the other teacher's talk. He was about to get up and leave when…

"I'm sorry to interrupt," The man from out front up to the doctor. "But one last applicant has arrived to take his exam, Mr. Crowler."

"Did you just call me 'mister'?" Crowler asked with a slight scowl.

"Oh, sorry," The man apologized. "I'm new here, Missis… "

"I have a Ph.D. in magic, I've earned the title 'Doctor,' thank you!" Crowler interrupted before looking away. "Now, tell the truant that he'll just have to come back next year."

The other teachers looked at him like he was out of his mind. "Oh, come on, Dr. Crowler, we have time for one more!"

"Yes, let's give this wizard his shot!"

"He was just a bit late, that's all."

"LATE IS RUDE!" Crowler snapped, startling everyone in the booth. "I've no time for slackers!"

Before he could rant any further, a female teacher with long black hair, brown eyes, and wearing the female teacher's uniform walked over. It couldn't be seen under her hair and clothes, but her dark purple Fairy Tail mark was on the nape of her neck.

Her name was Midori Hibiki. She looked after the freshmen students and was a member of Fairy Tail. She was one of their S-Class wizards, only rivaled by her brother, Koyo.

"Crowler, what's going on?" She asked sternly.

"Oh, Ms. Hibiki, how nice of you to join us," Crowler said, putting on a pleasant tone, though he didn't like her.

Midori wasn't fooled, but she had more pressing matters than that. "Just checking to make sure everything is running smoothly. We wouldn't want a repeat of the incident last year."

Crowler started to become a bit nervous when she mentioned that, especially when she glared at him pointedly.

"When you cut a third of the applicants for some ridiculous reason! What was it? Calling you 'mister' or 'misses'?" Knowing time was of the essence, she just sighed and put that matter aside. "Just make sure this student gets a fair chance, and these are direct orders from the Chancellor." She then walked away, toward another seat.

"Yes, of course. Little snitch!" Crowler muttered, scowling. 'Don't she and Sheppard realize there are enough talentless flunkies at this academy? But Sheppard's the boss. And if he wants to give this scrim shaker a test… fine.'

Making a decision, he got up from his seat. "Pardon me, gentlemen, I'll be right back."

But before he could leave, one of the teachers spoke up. "But who's going to be the boy's test proctor?"

Crowler just huffed and walked away. "Oh, leave that to me."

Back with Jaden and Syrus, Bastion had just come back from his exam. He sat down in the row in front of them, resting his magic.

"Good work out there, Bastion," The FT wizard said, leaning on the rail. "I've never seen a person use runes like that before."

Bastion turned to see the person speaking to him. "Thank you." He replied humbly.

"From the looks of it, you just might be one of the more powerful wizards here."

"Huh?"

His comment confused Bastion and Syrus, but before either could ask what he meant, an announcement sounded over the PA.

"Jaden Yuki, please report to exam field four."

"Magic time!" Jaden exclaimed, getting ready to go. "Wish me luck, guys!"

"Hey, wait," Bastion stopped him. "If I'm one of the stronger wizards, who's the strongest?"

Jaden smiled confidently, pointing at himself. "Yours truly! I'd be an S-Class wizard if I had the chance to take the exam!" He then continued down the stairs with a confident stride.

As he left, Bastion caught sight of both Jaden's guild mark and his Celestial keys. He gasped quietly but didn't say anything more, he just watched the other leave.

"Wow. He's so sure of himself!" Syrus said. "I wonder if he's really that good."

"He's going to need to be," Bastion responded, looking at the exam field in question. "Look who's testing him."

Dr. Crowler was already down on the field while two attendees got an MPF set up.

Meanwhile, Midori was off to the side, watching the exam from the shadows of the arena.

Seconds later, Jaden appeared across from the Vice-Chancellor via teleportation runes.

"All right! Test time!" Crowler said, looking at the young wizard confidently. "So, son, your name?"

Jaden turned, focusing his attention on his opponent. "Jaden, Jaden Yuki."

"Well, Jaden Yuki, I'm Dr. Vellian Crowler, Department Chair of Techniques here at the Academia." Crowler introduced himself, pride dripping from his voice.

"So, you're a teacher?" Jaden asked, looking for confirmation. "For a second I thought you were the school mascot."

Crowler sweatdropped at the comment.

Midori put a hand to her mouth to smother her laughter, knowing Jaden would tell you what he thought and not care what people think.

"Hey, you know, now that he mentions it…" Taiyou trailed off.

"This kid's got some lip, huh, Chazz?" Raizou said.

Chazz scowled but didn't say anything. He didn't like what that kid was saying down there.

"Well! I'm ready!" Jaden said, getting back on topic. "Let's go! Show me your magic!"

"Yes, very good. Don't tell me what to do." Dr. Crowler muttered dismissively. 'After all, since I'm using my own magic rather than one of those basic ones, I'll be calling all the shots. I'll fail this insolent little brat and send him home in no time!'

He grinned as he summoned his magic. "All right, I'll start if you don't mind."

Jaden almost took a step back, having not expected the amount of power that he felt. Despite his magic not being the most powerful, he had a sharp magic sensor ability.

"Take-Over! Machina Soul!" Crowler declared as a light engulfed him.

As it faded away, the professor was now wearing a red and white armored battle suit with a black headpiece.

The audience was amazed by the display of power, but Syrus was confused. "Uh, could somebody tell me what's going on?"

"The magic Dr. Crowler just activated is called Take-Over Magic," Bastion explained as he observed the exam. "It allows the user to, essentially, "take over" the power of an entity and use it to fight. It can increase the power, strength, and speed of the caster, sometimes adding a new skill, such as flying or breathing underwater. In Dr. Crowler's case, he can take over the abilities of any magic weapon or machinery he chooses."

"Oh!"

While they were watching, the rich-kid wannabe-wizards realized something was up.

"Magic that strong couldn't be any of the test magics, Crowler must be using his own!" Taiyou deduced.

"Then this is over," Raizou declared. "No applicant can beat the magic of an expert like Dr. Crowler!"

"Yeah, it's impossible, don't you think, Chazz?"

"Yeah. What do you think, Chazz?"

Chazz smirked maliciously. "I think I'm gonna enjoy watching Crowler mop the floor with our mouthy little friend down there. I only wish he treated all the other second-rate wizards who apply to this school the same way."

Up in the stands above the boys, another group of individuals was watching the exams.

The duo consisted of a girl with sandy blond hair that reached her upper-back with grayish-brown eyes and wearing the standard girls' uniform. Her name was Alex Rhodes, an incoming freshman.

Standing next to her was a taller boy with blue hair that reached his shoulders and dark blue eyes. He was wearing the boys' uniform, but with a black shirt in place of the usual white dress shirt. His name was Zane Truesdale, a third-year student and the top student at the Academia of Magic.

"What an elitist snob," Alexis muttered disapprovingly. "Bullying some amateur with his very best spells?"

"You're too soft, Alexis," Zane spoke up, causing the other to look at him. "I just hope we get to see how strong that Take-Over Magic of Crowler's is."

Meanwhile, Midori was not happy with what she was seeing, giving an exasperated sigh. 'Why am I not surprised that Crowler's using his own magic? But I can't do anything to stop the test now that it's started. Besides…'

She looked back at Jaden, her brother's apprentice, with a small smile. She felt just as much pride as if he was her student.

'I think Jaden's enjoying the prospect of going all out. He's so much like Koyo, always looking for a strong opponent and enjoying every minute of it, no matter what direction the fight takes. Either way, good luck, Jaden!'

"Ready for your next lesson?" Crowler called to the other side.

"You bet!" Jaden answered, excitement in his voice. "Bring it on!"

Crowler regarded this negatively. "Very well."

He started charging up a blast of light his hand. "Machina Blast!"

He unleashed the attack on the MPF device, nearly blinding some of the audience with its light. The force from the blast almost sent Jaden flying back if he hadn't braced himself.

When it blew over, the MPF registered a score of 784.

"Oh, wow! That's the highest score yet!" Alexis gasped.

Even Zane's eyes widened a bit. "Now, let's see how the kid handles this."

Midori remained stoic, but the look in her eyes said she wasn't worried. She knew Jaden well, he could handle this and blow Crowler out of the water.

"Now, now, I hope you're not too shaken up of my score," Crowler said sarcastically toward Jaden.

The Celestial Wizard just smirked in response. "Not at all! I know the perfect spell to one-up you with!"

His statement shocked many people, including Syrus. "Either Jaden's brave or he's not!"

"He's staring down that score like he doesn't have a care in the world," Zane said, incredulously. "I guess that youth and inexperience have their benefits after all. Huh, Alexis?"

"Come on, give it a rest, Zane," Alexis reprimanded, getting tired of his attitude. "At least the kid's showing some backbone. Besides, I overheard the people at the desk mention he was already in a guild. He may be more experienced than you think."

"Even so, there won't be much left of it to show after this." Zane retorted.

Jaden reached for his key ring and selected a gold key with a lion's motif. He held it up and spoke the incantation needed. "Open, Gate of the Lion! Leo!"

In a flash, a young man with orange hair like a lion's mane in a suit and sunglasses appeared. "You summoned, boss?"

"Whoa, that's a Celestial Spirit?" Syrus asked, amazed.

"Indeed," Bastion nodded, remembering what he knew about Celestial Spirit Magic. "The one Jaden just summoned was Leo the Lion, who represents the lion constellation. He's a strong spirit in his own right, but I'm not sure how much of a dent he'll make in that score."

"And now, Star Armor!" Jaden continued, holding the key over his head before pointing it at his heart, a glow starting to form around him. "Leo Form!"

As the shine faded, his clothes transformed into a new outfit.

It was all black, consisting of jeans, boots, a tank top and vest, and a pair of shades similar to Leo's. Finally, on his right hand was an ornate silver ring with a blue gemstone.

"So, teach, what do you think?!" Jaden asked, with a smirk.

Dr. Crowler just gave an unimpressed look. "And just what exactly was that supposed to accomplish?"

"Easy. Star Armor is a lot like a Requip. I can incorporate the power of the chosen spirit into my body and use their magic directly."

The information took Crowler by surprise. Some of the audience members were also stunned that Crowler didn't know this.

"How about that," Alexis stated, sarcastically. "A technique the good doctor didn't know."

"No one can be expected to know every technique, Alexis," Zane argued in a scolding tone. "Especially one as obscure as that."

"Yeah, well, that kid sure knew it." Alexis countered with a slight smile.

Midori smiled, impressed that Jaden had mastered an advanced spell at such a young age. Koyo was almost twenty by the time he learned that technique.

"Fine, fine, I guess you managed to pull off a good trick." Crowler taunted.

"Now, what was that crack?!" Jaden snapped, positive he was being insulted.

"Oh, nothing," Crowler replied, a response that only added fuel to the fire.

Midori rolled her eyes. She knew there were wizards out there who looked down on holder wizards in general, much less Celestial Wizards, thinking they were weak for having to rely on an item to use their magic. She had always had a sneaking suspicion that Crowler was one of those people, and now she knew for sure.

Jaden was more than annoyed with this guy by this point. Insulting his magic was the same as insulting his teacher or his guild, no one did that and got away with it.

"Easy, Jaden," Leo calmed his wizard, placing a hand on his shoulder. "He's not worth the drama."

Jay sighed, smiling at his spirit. "Thanks, Leo."

The lion spirit returned the smile. "Let's make him eat his words."

"Right."

Spirit and wizard moved to stand back to back. Their left and right hands clasped together while they raised the hand that held their rings, pointing them at the MPF.

"Oh, Regulus!" They both called as they glowed with the light of the sun. "Lend us your strength!"

Crowler at first wasn't worried, but then he felt the magic building around the duo. It was far more powerful than he thought it would be.

Meanwhile, Midori smiled at the sight. 'Spirit and wizard, working as one.'

The other interested parties in the stands watched with bated breath for what was coming. This next attack decided everything.

"Regulus Impact!"

Light shot out from both rings, transforming into lion heads as they flew at the MPF. An explosion followed, blocking the sight of the device from view.

When the light finally cleared, a score was visible.

1094.

"No way…" Crowler breathed, shocked by the score.

"All right!" Jaden cheered, sharing a high-five with Leo before turning back to Crowler. "So, I guess I passed the test, huh, teach?!"

A lot of people were stunned by how tough Jaden was. He had beaten a teacher who was using his real magic.

Crowler was particularly dumbfounded by the whole thing. He was defeated by, in his eyes, an amateur who was also late.

"Impossible!" He seethed. "There's no way this delinquent could beat me!"

Up in the stands, Chazz and his flunkies were just as shocked.

"It must be dumb luck," Chazz muttered through clenched teeth. "No way Crowler would lose to some flunky."

Alexis, on the other hand, was smiling at Jaden's win. "That kid's got a future here! Wow!"

Zane just huffed and walked away, not saying anything.

However, something was bothering him. The spirit Jaden summoned was a zodiac spirit, and last he heard, all but two of the gold keys were under the ownership of Koyo Hibiki, a famous Fairy Tail wizard.

One of those keys was Leo, so how did Jaden get it?

Meanwhile, Syrus was cheering for Jaden, amazed at his new friend's strength. "All right! Yeah, Jaden!"

'Nice,' Bastion thought as he watched Jaden wave to the crowd. 'I could use a little competition.'

He then glanced at a pouch on his hip. 'And maybe I found a good home for these five…'

After waving a bit longer, Jaden looked back at his spirit friend. "Thanks, Leo. I couldn't have done it without you."

"I'll always have your back, Jay," Leo smiled at his friend. "Call on me anytime."

With that, the spirit dissolved in a wash of light, returning to the spirit world. Jaden's outfit had a similar treatment before turning back into the clothes he had on earlier.

Looking over at one of the entranceways, Jaden saw Midori watching his exam. She gave him a discreet smile before leaving.

He smiled as she turned to go. 'See you back at the guild, Midori.'

Well, that's the first chapter. I hope you liked it. Write more soon and a belated Happy Easter and Earth Day!
