Chapter 11 : Father And Daughter

Two Years Later

I looked like a 15-year-old even though I was about 13. I wore a white shirt with black edges and black pants which complimented my spiky black hair. I looked handsome if I had to say anything about myself.

Mira and Erza were 15 and fully grown-up looking exactly like their anime counterparts except for Mira's dressing style. Cana was 14, a year older than me, she also looked like her counterpart. Mira, Erza and Cana looked really beautiful they looked better in real life than in the anime. 2D doesn't do justice for their 3D counterparts.

I was in the guild spending my free time chatting with Cana. I and Erza became S-class wizards. Mira was down for a while about Erza becoming an S-class wizard before her but quickly got over it. I became very close with Erza, Mira and Cana.

There were just some very small problems holding them back from confessing to me. Erza had her past bothering her. Cana had an overpowered bastard Father called Gildarts to worry about. As for Mira well she had nothing bothering her other than the fact that two other girls are as close to me as her. What would happen, would happen there is no use thinking about it.

As I was in my thoughts the town bell started ringing vigorously, the town rumbled and the houses started clearing a passageway towards the guild. Indicating Gildarts was back from one of his quests.

I had already met him twice and he honestly was a hella overpowered monster. No other words were necessary. I challenged him the first time we met. I couldn't even land a single clean hit, he just blocked everything. It irked me and I straight up used my strongest ROAR powered by white flames. My strongest attack which could turn an island to rubble was crushed by him using a fist. During which he destroyed one of the backyard mountains of the guild by accident while trying to block my attack. I could destroy an island if I focused and used most of my magic but the bastard in front of me could destroy mountains by accident.

We had to stop our match there as Master was super angry and straight-up barged into our fight and started yelling at us for destroying a mountain. Well, that was one memory to hold. I started training even more vigorously and recently reached SS class with my Fire slayer magic and S-Class for Lightning and Ice Slayer Magic. I read all the books in the library and memorized them.

I read about different kinds of magic. I could technically learn using all of them but I didn't. Knowing and doing are different. It required a lot of practice to learn magic other than the one you are attuned to. I couldn't bother going through the gruelling process again so I gave up on the thought.

I also learnt something new from the knowledge I gained that my "bestow magic is broken". Now that I had some decent magic reserves I experimented with it a little. I could easily transfer the magical energy and memories that I wanted to others. During battles when someone is injured I should just remember how they were before the injury and use my magic and that's it they were practically healed in an instant but the more serious the injury the more magic it required. Well enough about my abilities and back to the main story.

Erza and Mira were out doing quests. Everyone was excited about Gildarts return. Without me noticing in the past two years I had already thought about the guild as my family. It felt quite warm having such a great family.

As everyone was excited, Cana, who was beside me had a sad expression for a moment and tried to conceal it. After being with her for two years I could easily tell what she was feeling from her expressions. I took her hand and went to the guild's backyard.

" Cana, we are Husband and Wife, right?".

"What!!! Wawa, no, no yes, no, no yes, geez what are you talking about?". Her face was beet red. Steam was rising from her head. She looked quite adorable like that.

" Cooldown, I am just teasing you, that talk is for another time". she looked a little disappointed but blushed again after hearing my last words.

"Now tell me what is bothering you? Every time Gildarts comes or whenever we speak about him you seem sad. Why?" I asked while looking at her.

"What are you talking about? Luis, I don't know what you're saying". Cana tried to avoid my question.

" You know I am a slayer right. My sense of smell is way stronger than others. I can easily recognise similarities in people's scent". I said to her. Understanding the meaning behind my words Cana stood there frozen. After a while, she started speaking. She told me about her childhood and how she found out she had a father. How she wanted to speak to him but couldn't get the courage to and how she taught about saying it to him after she became an S-Class mage.

"We are going to speak to him" I took her hand and went back to the guild. Gildarts already went back to his home after reporting the completion of his mission.

I knew where he lived so we made our way there. Cana wanted to persuade me to stop but I firmly held onto her hand and reassured her that it will be alright. I barged into his house with Cana in tow. Gildarts was quite surprised to see us both.

"Gildarts you are a bastard".

" What do you want little punk?" Gildarts was puzzled at my words.

"Go ahead, If he dares to say something he shouldn't I will make sure he doesn't have a peaceful day again". I encouraged Cana to speak what she wanted to say all this time.

" What is happening here you brats?" he became even more puzzled.

"You know, I joined the guild to find my father".

Cana said to Gildarts.

" You mean your dad was part of the guild?".

"Yes, My father is a part of the guild and his name is Gildarts. I always wanted to tell you but lacked the courage to. Even now if not for Luis dragging me here I wouldn't have told you.". Gildarts just stood there dumbstruck unable to process any more information.

" I have a daughter?!!!!!!!?!. Who's your mother?". Gildarts started spamming a bunch of names which ticked off Cana.

"I just came to tell you. You don't need to worry about me". Cana was about to stomp out when Gildarts hugged her and started speaking in a caring tone.

" You are Cornelia's daughter. I can never forget her. She was my only true love. I only had her in my heart. After hearing that she passed away I was heartbroken. I didn't know we had a daughter. If I knew I never would have left you alone". Gildarts hugged her and said to her in an emotional voice. Cana also hugged him back and started crying.

I let them have their moment and went outside the house. After a while, Cana came out with Gildarts in tow.

"Thanks brat, if not for you I would have to wait a few more years to know about my daughter". Gildarts thanked me while smiling like the happiest man on earth

" Don't worry about it. I will be on my way, you both can have your sweet time. See you later".I said to them.

"See you later Luis and Thanks a lot". Cana said to me.

Another day passed just like that.
