Chapter Text
The Master of Fairy Tail sat in his office, Humming quietly to himself as he got a notification on a shining Lacrima orb next to him, He picked it up, His old, worn face visible in the reflection. Makarov Dreyar was his name. He ran the Fairy Tail magical guild like it was a family, And he’d never change that for the world.
“Makarov!” The man whom’s face was now displayed on the Lacrima lit up joyfully. “I’d like to request your grandson for an S Class mission!” The Mayor of Hargeon stated in relief, despite knowing how monumental of a task it would likely be for the old guild master.
“Of course. What’s going on?” Makarov inquired in response, stroking his moustache thoughtfully.
“Well, you see, Makarov- A Lightning Wizard has been destroying buildings and killing people at a seemingly random rate, And the rune knights haven’t done much about it yet again! So I wanted to reach out to you personally, Given I still owed you a favor or two. The reward is a Million Jewel!” The mayor explained.
Makarov thought for a moment. A Million Jewel? That’s a lot for any wizard, But knowing Laxus’s Vanity, Makarov’s grandson might not jump at the opportunity, Especially since this was an S- Class mission.. “I’ll bring it up to him and see if he’d be willing. I’ll contact you once I speak with Laxus.” Makarov replied carefully, peering with only one eye open as he sat on his desk, contemplating the entire ordeal. The guild was close to closing as it was late into the evening hours now, But he could still check if Laxus was there.
“Thank you so much, Makarov!” The mayor’s voice interjected, interrupting the Guild Master’s thoughts before they went too far, and thus the Lacrima stopped glowing as the communication ended.
Makarov stepped out of his office, sitting on a railing overseeing the entire guild on the base levels. He spotted Laxus, Surrounded by the Thunder Legion, his personal bodyguards. It wasn’t like Laxus needed them; however, He was a S Class wizard after all. “Laxus!” Makarov’s voice boomed, Causing a hush to go over the normally chaotic guildhall.
“Come see me in my office.” He said in a slightly calmer tone, as whispering arose about what the guild master would have summoned his grandson for, Whispering that Laxus despised.
Laxus huffed as all eyes were on him, and quietly he rose, His tall, muscular build and spiky blonde hair highly contrasted from the dark, fluff lined coat he always wore. He walked slowly to the Guild Master’s office. A calculated menace with each step. Nobody dared mess with him, His strength practically unrivaled at this point. Erza wasn’t stupid enough to fight him, Mystogan was essentially just a strawman to fill a spot and Gildarts… Well, Laxus assumed Gildarts was dead by this point.
Clearing his thoughts, Laxus entered the office, Shutting the door behind him with some force without having to be asked, Not flinching when it slammed.
“Laxus-” Makarov started before sighing. “Someone has requested you for an S Class mission.”
Laxus made a sharp exhale in approval, almost hissing.
“The reward is 1 Million Jewel to subdue a lightning wizard in Hargeon.”
Laxus subtly smirked. An easy job with pretty good pay out for him.
“Fine, I’ll do it.” Laxus said snidely and left before Makarov could get another word in, once again slamming the door unnecessarily.
Makarov sighed, quiet for a few moments before going to contact the Mayor that Laxus had accepted the job.
