Chapter 24

Magnolia railway station.

Magnolia Town is one of the safest and most famous tourist towns in Fiore, and this is perhaps most noticeable at the train station. Every day, literally thousands of people ride the various trains to and from Magnolia. Although politicians like the Mayor of the city do not want to admit it, it is obvious to everyone that Magnolia is only thriving because of Fairy Tail, the strongest guild in Fiore, whose mages are also quite active in the life of the city, due to which ordinary people who want to get magical items will always mention Magnolia first. However, this is not surprising, because if Fairy Tail could not make money from anything other than missions, then Fairy Tail would simply be disbanded due to constant fines for excessive destruction during missions.

However, it doesn't matter now, because right now, in the middle of the station, there are two magicians of opposite elements, butting heads with each other, and a beautiful girl with a cat are standing to the side, trying to pretend that they don't know them.

- Damn firebrand, why on earth should a plebeian like you come with us? I alone would have been enough to help Elsa and Wendy. - Gray yelled, emitting icy air around himself.

-Shut your mouth, brat! Do you think that because Wendy taught you that you are cool?! I will beat you right here and now. - Natsu, who was hot, shouted, echoing Gray.

-How did I end up here! - Lucy cried in her thoughts, noticing that a rather large empty space had already formed around her and a couple of idiots.

Luckily for the bystanders and not so much for the ice and fire mages, a huge pressure soon fell on the pair of rivals as if someone decided to use gravity magic to flatten them, but Natsu and Gray knew that in fact it was just the magical power of Erza and Wendy. They both instantly changed their behavior and began to act like the most friendly and close brothers.

-Gray, Natsu. It seems that after the task we will have to give you a good training, since you have so much energy that you disturb passers-by. - Elsa's stern voice sounded. However, she did not notice that due to her actions, several weak mages were already lying on the ground foaming at the mouth due to the pressure.

- Elsa, calm down a bit or make it more focused, you've already knocked out a couple of viewers. - I sighed and said to my friend and went to patch up the unconscious passersby. To be honest, I both love and am amazed by this awkward side of Elsa, she is so serious, but at the same time there are moments like now, where she does not monitor her strength at all and I have had to apologize and restore entire blocks after Elsa's magical attack more than once. Although it is possible that I am to blame here. After all, I taught her the magic of dragon slayers, and dragon slayers are usually extremely unrestrained, which in bed, by the way, became a rather pleasant bonus.

- Ahem. Sorry. - Blushing a little from how much her actions did not match her words, Elsa immediately completely removed her pressure, and Lucy, who had been standing there paralyzed holding the unconscious cat in her arms, was finally able to breathe out calmly, screaming inside about how Elsa, although beautiful, was still ugly.

-You're new, Lucy Heartfilia, right? - Elsa turned her attention to Lucy. But Lucy seemed to be struck by lightning from her words.

-How did she know my last name? - Lucy screamed in her mind in panic.

- Don't worry, the moment you join Fairy Tail, you can only leave it if you want to and no one can force you, and if they try, they will find out what it's like to meet four dragon slayers. And you will have something to discuss with Wendy, you are kind of relatives.

-Thank you? - Having received so much information, especially about her relationship with Wendy, Lucy felt like she would literally have question marks above her head, but what she understood was that she would be protected as a member of the guild if anything happened, which certainly couldn't help but make her happy.

- So everything is ready, so it's time to get on the train. We'll discuss everything there. - Having finished with the last victim, I said and headed straight to the train we needed.

Sitting on the train, Lucy saw a rather funny picture where the ice and fire mages were lying around, suffering from motion sickness, looking at me and Elsa with resentment.

- If you studied hard, you would have learned to control your body long ago so that you don't get motion sickness, but Lucy, I'm almost sure that she will quickly learn to cope with it. - I couldn't help but speak out in relation to the two magicians, and once again warmed up Lucy's interest.

- So will I feel sick like that later too? - the girl couldn't help but get worried, after all, she didn't want anyone to see how sick she was.

- Of course, you are a descendant of the heavenly dragon Grandina, and as her adopted daughter I am simply obliged to teach you, and Anna Heartfilia was also close to me as a second mother, so we have a lot in common. - As if by the way, I dumped the information on the spirit summoner.

- Anna Heartfilia? You mean that very strongest spirit caster who lived 400 years ago? And how can I be a descendant of a dragon? Aren't dragons big? - The girl in turn began to fire questions like a machine gun.

- Yes, that same Anna, she sent me, Natsu and several other dragon slayers 400 years into the future with the help of the Eclipse Gate and all the golden keys. As for the dragon, it's just that dragons can turn into people and Anna Heartfilia dated Grandeeena, but because they were both girls they couldn't have children until I learned a spell that allows a girl to create a male genital organ, and in the end Anna gave birth to a child from a dragon and you still have very strong features of Grandeeena and Anna. Honestly, if I didn't know that it was too unlikely, I would have thought that you were that child. - I finished revealing Lucy's rather cool and shocking truth with a chuckle.

-That's quite a lot of unexpected information. I need to think about it. - Said Lucy, who was clearly confused, but she was a smart girl.

-Okay, but first let me tell you what our task is and why I gathered you here.

- I'll start with the fact that I decided to create a team of the five of us, so Elsa and I will still teach you magic, and with Lucy's arrival in the guild, a chain of events began that will begin with testing the strength of our guild and end with saving the world. Well, this is briefly so that you understand that now is not the time to shirk training. - I began to speak as seriously as possible, especially when I said about training, it was clearly visible how Natsu and Gray literally shook with fear, naturally I did not pay attention to it. - Well, we'll talk about this in more detail in our free time after the mission. Now about what we need to do now. The dark guild Eisenwald, led by the dark mage Erigor, who became famous for carrying out assassination orders, got hold of the Lullaby. A dark artifact in which one of Zeref's demons is imprisoned, who absorbs the souls of the living around him. We can't let them unseal the demon, and if they do manage to release the demon, we must destroy it.

-Destroy him? But shouldn't he be extremely strong? - Lucy was surprised.

- Don't worry. Wendy was able to learn the magic of the heavenly god slayer about 3 years ago, so destroying the demon is not a problem, and you shouldn't underestimate the magic of dragon slayers. - Elsa reassured the spirit caster.

- You know, Lucy, by the way, although I haven't really developed the magic of stellar spirits, I'm sure that if you put aside all the prejudices, then a stellar spirit mage is quite capable of becoming a strong mage, not due to stellar spirits, but due to personal strength, but unfortunately everyone is used to the fact that stellar spirit mages fight only with the help of summoning, and have almost no personal strength, so they don't try to make new spells with the help of special magic of stellar spirits, but it is possible that some stellar magic would appear. Okay, don't pay attention, I get a little carried away when it comes to magic. - Realizing that I was carried away somewhere wrong, I decided to stop. But what I didn't notice was admiration in the eyes of a certain heavenly mage, but Elsa noticed it, and she was thinking about something.
