"Rain?"
Mira tilted her head, gazing at him in a daze. She reached out, her soft hand wrapping around his.
"I'm fine."
The warmth of her touch pulled Rain back to himself. He gave her a small, reassuring smile, silently telling her there was no need to worry.
"Then…" Mira's lips curved, her eyes glinting dangerously. "Let's see what kind of guild this Fairy Tail really is."
Boom!!!
Before anyone could stop her, Mira charged forward and kicked the guild doors wide open.
"?!!"
The heavy door slammed against the wall with a crack, and instantly every head inside the guild turned toward her.
Dozens of eyes curious, wary, amused locked onto Mira standing in the doorway.
"U-uh…" Mira blinked. For the first time in a while, she felt pressure. Even she hadn't expected to suddenly become the center of attention.
"This is bad… If Sis does stuff like that, won't we get kicked out before we even join?" Lisanna whispered nervously, tugging at her sister's sleeve.
Beside her, Elfman was trembling so hard his knees knocked together. "S-s-so many people…"
"Oooh, looks like some fresh faces!"
"Newcomers, huh? They look like promising seeds!"
"Hahaha, hey, Gramps, quit pretending... you're already itching to reel them in."
"What do you mean reel them in, you idiot? This is a proper invitation!"
Voices erupted across the guild, rowdy as always.
Then, a short old man in a clown-like hat waddled forward, glaring at his bickering guild members.
"Tch, noisy brats…" he muttered, before his face instantly transformed into a warm smile.
"Hahahaha! So it's you four? Planning to join Fairy Tail, are you?"
The old man spread his arms wide. His presence wasn't overwhelming, but it carried a warmth that filled the room.
"Welcome, welcome! This is Fairy Tail the strongest guild in the Kingdom of Fiore!"
The guild erupted into cheers, but Makarov's sharp eyes twinkled as he studied the newcomers.
Especially Rain and Mira, there was power in them. Untamed, but undeniable. And Lisanna and Elfman weren't ordinary either.
Talents like these walking into Fairy Tail of their own accord? Not recruiting them would be a sin.
"President Makarov," Rain stepped forward and bowed politely. "Yes, we want to join Fairy Tail."
Makarov's smile widened even further. Perfect.
Although Makarov looked like a harmless, short old man, Rain knew better.
He was no ordinary elder.
This was one of the Ten Wizard Saints. Even in this era, his power was something not to be underestimated.
"Alright then. Let's get this done."
In a blink, Makarov produced the guild's emblem stamp. His eyes twinkled, though deep inside, his heart chuckled mischievously.
Heh heh heh… once the stamp is on, there's no turning back. Even if they regret it, it'll be too late.
One by one, the stamp pressed down.
Rain chose his shoulder for the mark, the Fairy Tail emblem shining proudly in crimson.
Mira, Lisanna, and Elfman followed without hesitation, each of them taking the emblem with solemn faces.
From that moment...they were Fairy Tail mages.
"Alright! Introductions then." Rain stepped forward. "I'm Rain. My magic… is Take Over."
"Mira Strauss. Take Over magic."
"Lisanna Strauss. Take Over magic."
"Elfman Strauss. I also use Take Over!"
The room went quiet for a moment.
"…Wait. All four of them are Take Over users?" someone muttered.
"They're not from some magic academy, are they?!"
"Idiot! What kind of magic academy would ever train people like this?!"
"Oi oi oi, that's a little too neat, don't you think?"
The guild immediately erupted in chatter, a mix of surprise and good-natured teasing.
Makarov waved his hand. "Bah, details, details. Families awakening similar magics isn't rare at all. Quit overthinking it!"
Then, with a wide grin, he raised his mug.
"Everyone! Welcome the newcomers… with a banquet!!!"
The hall exploded.
"Ohhh! The party's starting!!!"
At some point, Makarov had already swapped to a massive beer glass and was chugging it down like water.
The rest of the guild followed instantly, drinks slammed, tables banged, laughter filling the air.
"Oi, oi, alcohol again?! Then I'm not holding back!"
"Bottoms up!"
"Tons! Tons! Tons!"
In the middle of the chaos, a girl with wild pink hair, wearing far too little for her age, casually picked up an entire barrel and started guzzling it straight.
"…."
Even Rain, who had braced himself for Fairy Tail's infamous madness, could only stare in silence.
Mira, Lisanna, and Elfman all witnessing this insanity for the first time were frozen stiff.
Lisanna's lips trembled. "…Rain. Are we really supposed to join this guild?"
Her eyes shimmered, looking like she was on the verge of tears.
"Hahahahaha! Don't worry, you'll get used to it this is Fairy Tail!"
Makarov puffed out his chest, grinning proudly at Lisanna's worried expression.
This was the guild he was proud of.
But then, his smile curled into a sly grin. "And besides… you've already joined. It's too late to regret it now."
"Uuuh…" Lisanna looked helpless, caught between tears and laughter.
"By the way… isn't this kind of fun?"
Mira's eyes sparkled. For her, the wildness of Fairy Tail wasn't frightening at all, it was interesting.
No longer holding back her true nature, she strode across the hall, her gaze fixed on a red-haired girl sitting in the corner, quietly enjoying a strawberry cake.
The girl glanced up just as Mira stopped in front of her.
The air between them grew tense.
One minute later...
Boom!!!
Tables flipped, fists swung, and their "friendly exchange" exploded into a full-on brawl.
"B-Big sister!"
Lisanna gasped, clutching Elfman's arm. Both of them looked panicked, unsure whether to rush in and help or just hide under a table.
Before they could decide, two figures stepped forward, blocking their way.
"Oi, newcomers!"
A boy with spiky pink hair smirked arrogantly, while next to him, a dark-haired boy stood shirtless, completely unfazed by the fact that he wasn't wearing clothes.
"You two should be calling us senpai," Natsu declared proudly.
"That's right," Gray added coolly. "We joined before you, so you'd better show some respect."
The siblings froze. Then, almost in unison, the thought clicked in their heads:
Wait… doesn't that make us juniors?
We finally have kouhai?! Natsu and Gray thought secretly at the same time.
The realization made both boys secretly happy.
However…
Elfman's gaze zeroed in on Gray. His expression darkened.
"P-pervert…"
"Hah?" Gray blinked.
Elfman's body trembled with righteous fury.
"You're not even wearing clothes! And if you're standing next to him"
he pointed at Natsu, "...then you're a pervert too!"
Lisanna paled. "B-brother, wait..."
"I have to protect Lisanna!!!"
With a roar, Elfman swung his massive fist at Natsu and Gray.
"Ohhh! He's a fiery one!"
Natsu's grin widened, sparks of excitement dancing in his eyes.
"Not bad at all." Gray's lips curved in a smirk.
The two veterans leaned forward in unison.
"Bring it on, newcomer!!!"
And just like that, another battle broke out, this one even louder than Mira's fight.
