Fairy Tail: God Slayer - The Path of Life and Death!

Chapter 24

The battle is finally over. The winner was determined by Makarov, so no one began to argue.

- That's the fight ... - Aidan raised his head to the sky and exhaled with relief.

- Brother! - I heard a familiar voice and a little girl ran out towards the guy. He immediately recognized her:

- Wendy!

- Brother ... Ah! - the girl slipped and, as always, landed unsuccessfully:

- Ooh ...!

With concern, he immediately ran up to this clumsy kitten and returned it to its place, immediately touching her nose. The pain passed instantly and Wendy smiled again.

- You won, brother!

- Ha, well, of course, I fought for an important cause, how could I lose? Shaking Wendy's hair, Aidan turned to Erza.

- You fought well, I ... - but before he could finish, the scarlet-haired woman drew her sword and ran away without a word. It looks like this defeat upset her more than he originally planned ...

He had forgotten that she was still a little girl, barely making friends. This is not at all the grown-up Erza who has managed to fully regain her confidence.

At that moment, joyful laughter was heard and Natsu ran up to Aidan:

- Man, you beat Erza herself! Let's brush it off ?!

- Cudgel! - Gray snorted in time: - He is even stronger than Erza, with whom are you going to swing, you fool ?!

- Oh, you decided to be the first to challenge him ?!

- What ?!

- I will not give in to you bastard!

While the two were arguing again, Makarov walked up to Aidan and nodded his praise:

"Not a bad kid, but you should learn to use your magic. You have a lot of magic, but skills ... Be Erza a little more experienced, and she could easily wear you out. But ... - the old man sighed: - Today the kids are so impatient. So do not be conceited, you have a lot of magic, this is the reason for your victory today.

The experienced magician's eyesight did not fail him, here Aidan could not argue.

- Ha, - the guy smiled: - Here you are right, another minute, and I just could not hold back the seal. I'm afraid then I could only run away ...

- The seal means ... - Makarov grunted: - You will tell me later, understand?

"Yeah, I'll just settle in and find a place for Wendy.

The old man nodded and smiled at the little Dragon Slayer.

- Make yourself at home baby. I will arrange with Hilda and you will be given a room in the Hills. Well, as for you, - Makarov looked at the guy and grinned:

- Since I was able to beat our formidable fairy, then look for an apartment yourself! You can live with Natsu in the guild for a couple of days, and then pay!

"How welcome," Aidan smiled.

Makarov laughed and turned around saying:

- Welcome to Fairy Tail!

Aidan just sighed and looked back towards Erza who had run away. He didn't want to fight and hurt anyone on his first day. In addition, she did not want to hurt him, although she behaved too arrogantly. It was worth somehow to improve relations, otherwise it will be awkward to continue working in the same guild. Maybe she went overboard, but he knew what he was doing and provoked. In addition, in a dispute with a girl, you should always understand that it is better to rely on feelings here. Now he felt that the reconciliation was definitely worth it. And besides, what's the point in quarreling with the future beauty?

Shaking Wendy's hair again, Aidan glanced towards another girl about his age. Now she looked contented adorable with her contented smirk as she recounted her fortune. The enterprising Kana put on a newbie in time, and she did not lose!

- Looks like you have a good day, - said the guy, stepping closer.

- Ha, of course! I have a trained eye. Although you are skinny, it seemed to me that you have potential and luck did not disappoint me! Cana laughed and turned her attention to Wendy.

- Wow, what a cutie! My name is Kana, glad to meet newcomers. If you contact me, I am here much earlier than the rest of the little things. Even before Gray, and even before our teacher Erza.

- And Natsu? Wendy asked quietly.

- Ah ... Well, he's only been with us for a month, or not ... I don't remember in general. By the way ... - Cana looked around suspiciously, and then went up to Aidan and whispered in her ear:

- Do you still have anything left to drink?

- I'm sorry ... - The guy shook his head in disappointment.

- Haven't you seen? I rolled for courage and there was nothing left.

- It's a pity ... I still can't decide to try ... Ahem, okay, we'd better not talk about it.

Aidan smiled and tried to accept the most charming expression on his face.

- Dear sister, can you look after my little sister?

- Ah ... - Cana was a little embarrassed, and then showed a sly grin: - You're not bad! I almost got caught! I think we'll get along! - Appreciatingly examining the guy, the girl nodded: - You know, I will help, only next time share with me a drink. I somehow feel uncomfortable alone ... But I really want to!

"Oh," Aidan rubbed his head and finally nodded. "Okay, I'll go on a mission and think of something. Just keep an eye on Wendy, and please don't let any unpleasant person near her!

- Oh, what a caring little brother you have ... - Cana whispered in the shy Wendy's ear: - Come on, little sister will teach you to play cards!

- Really? What are cards?

- Well, now you will find out, - waving to Aidan, Cana slowly took the little girl away. Although the young sorceress did not want to, she already understood a lot, so she did not bother her brother once again. On the way, he told her what would happen after their entry. Including about small moments of separation. As much as she wanted to help, she knew that she was still quite small ... Although she really did not want to let her brother go somewhere alone. Were it not for the guild and such a charming Kana, everything might not have gone so smoothly.

Finally, Aidan was left alone, the guild members had already dispersed, and only the deep blue ice still glittered in the sun, his blue paint was impressive, as if he was not going to melt. In fact, this is not entirely true, it will rather take about three warm days before this ice is reduced by half and at least a week before it completely disappears. Dark ice is very specific, even a small part of it is much stronger and colder than just ice itself. If the magician will pour more strength and understanding into him, then he may not melt at all for years, and maybe decades. This is only a small part of its properties.

Looking back at the endless sea, the guy closed his eyes and broke into a satisfied smile. The sun was slowly setting to the horizon and very soon it would completely disappear. Finally Aidan reached his destination and could relax a little. A kind of invisible calm even surged over him, as if he could find a refuge and was in no hurry anywhere else. Now he could drink again and relax. Everything will change again very soon, and he will move on in search of a way to reunite with his family. The search for power was just beginning ...

- Ha ... Nice day, - with a grin, the guy turned around and threw on his jacket. The next evening he had a couple of unfinished business, and the next day he will have to work. But if everything goes well, you can take yourself a little day off, and then get down to business again.
