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

Chapter 35

***

"Ohh ..." Rising out of bed, Aidan yawned and rubbed his eyes.

After looking around, he only sighed from contemplation of the surrounding mess and quickly found his things. Yesterday only he and a little Kahn drank, so nothing really terrible happened. Erza and Wendy left late, and then Natsu and Gray parted ways. Cana was the last to leave this house, after a short exchange of barbs.

Pulling on his breeches and sandals, Aidan found his jacket and ate a quick breakfast. Then he washed up and went to the guild. It was already lunchtime in time, so it was time to finally get down to normal business and stop chilling. He chose the guild library as his first goal, and then decided to rigidly sit on tasks. He really lacked experience, not only in the battle with magic, but also in the ability to use it. He knew several spells, but he could not use them. Therefore, it was worth finding suitable assignments and starting practice. In addition, you can make money on it. For a magician, money is also important, so on assignments you can get everything you need just up to the age of nineteen. Aidan was now, like Erza, only twelve years old, so there is still a long way ahead. As many as seven years before the beginning of the main history, before the time of Galuna Island and others.

Back at the guild, Aidan was greeted by cute Wendy as usual:

- Brother!

Shaking the girl's hair, Aidan smiled at Erza.

- Hello.

- Hi, - the scarlet-haired nodded.

Then, the guy greeted Gray and was about to go to the library when he heard a serious tone:

- Boy, wait a minute.

Aidan turned and expectedly met Makarov, as usual, located right on the bar. It looks like he was specifically waiting for him.

When the guy turned to the old man, everyone in the guild also paid attention to the situation, but the Master jumped off the table and approached the newcomer:

- Come on, there is a conversation.

Without question, the guy followed the old man. After all, he had already expected something like this. Still, he himself, at least for the sake of decency, asked questions to newcomers as soon as they got used to it.

As it turned out, Makarov was on his way to the library.

Gray and Cana looked at each other, immediately understood each other's thoughts, and then quickly followed the Master and Aidan. Erza frowned, especially when Wendy ran after the two. The sorceress had no choice but to follow. It immediately became clear to her that Gray and Cana were going to get involved in their own business, because Erza, as usual, wanted to prevent them, but already stopping at the door of the library, she frowned sharply. Cana, Gray and Wendy stood quietly and peered through the opening crack in the doorway. They were already eavesdropping!

Erza was about to intervene in this mess when she suddenly stopped when she heard the conversation between the Master and Aidan.

- So who are you guy? What is your magic? Erza stopped abruptly, fighting the urge to stop this covert eavesdropping and continue. In another situation, she would have reprimanded everyone, but she herself was interested in who he was, this strange newcomer. Erza closed her eyebrows and hid nearby, well, she couldn't stop it! If it were someone else, everything would definitely be different ...

At the same time in the Fairy Tail library.

Aidan did not have time to admire hundreds of different books in this huge collection, when Makarov sat down at one of the chairs and with the most gloomy face asked his question:

- So who are you guy? What is your magic?

Actually, Aidan was already expecting such a conversation, so he just grabbed the nearest book and sat down opposite the Master.

Makarov, in turn, made the most serious look and tried to find out everything that was needed. Even realizing that they were being watched, the old man did not worry at all. He just wanted to make the boy talk. Fairy Tail Mages can keep secrets, it's true, but not in this case. The guy is able to heal an entire eye, while such magic has probably disappeared from the world long ago. This, not to mention his mastery of the God Slayer magic and such huge reserves of magical power. Simply put, he looked too suspicious. He did not evoke a sense of danger, but Makarov simply could not ignore such secrets. Judging by the look of the boy, his life was not easy, unless, of course, this is his real appearance ... Makarov could not be sure, therefore he started all this. There are things that need to be clarified so that it doesn't harm the guild in the future.

Aidan opened the green-bound book and made himself comfortable. After a few seconds of silence, he finally exhaled and said:

- Since I want to be in the guild, it probably makes sense ... I just ask you to keep this secret within the guild walls. I don't really want to be allowed to experiment again.

In fact, Aidan was not at all opposed to telling the truth, he did not even fear that it would go beyond the guild walls. The truth is not that special. Not that he trusts everyone here too much. Yet he hasn't been in this place for that long. He still wasn't sure if his new comrades were ready to fight by his side if need be. Even if they looked so much like the very people he remembered, they were still different. But, it's not about trust, he just wasn't going to hide the truth, at least part of it ...

- Experiments? - Makarov frowned: - You mean ...

"Yes," Aidan nodded. "I won't talk too much about my magic, it has nothing to do with this story anyway. I'll just say that this is a gift from a pretty strong wizard.

He did not lie, it is indeed a gift and indeed from a powerful wizard. Perhaps that magician did not expect such a thing, but what has been done cannot be returned. At least Aidan had no intention of giving up such magic.

In part, such information, as it gave an answer, and a warning. Although, Makarov didn't even raise an eyebrow. Naturally, Aidan was going to hide the magic of the Slayer of the Gods of Life and Death, and indeed the way to obtain his magic. He understood that Makarov knew about Erza's eye and most likely this is one of the reasons for his serious appearance. So you still had to be careful.

Maybe Makarov looked like a kind old man, and his new comrades in the guild are not like talkative children. But, part of the truth is that Makarov is really a wise old man with a large store of knowledge, and all the rest are just children. These people are better off not knowing about such magic for as long as possible. Only Wendy knew very little, and if the important hour came, he would tell the others. Yet he doubted, still left a grain of mistrust. He could tell everything about his survival, but not about magic. This is too important and dangerous a secret that can harm not only himself, but everyone around him. This is why Aidan didn't tell Wendy anything, just blaming it on ice magic.
