Attack on Fairy Tail will begin soon

"I suggest we try to become Phantom Lord S-rank mages," Gadjeel said enthusiastically.

"Are you sure you're ready for this, Gadjeel?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course I'm ready. I'm very strong, I'll have you know."

"I don't have much faith in that, but why not? After all, I'll be here if there's a problem."

"You think you're stronger than me, Jade?"

"I'm just telling the truth, Gadjeel. It's you who can't accept that I'm stronger."

"Just because you beat me a few times doesn't mean you're stronger than me. That was just a fluke."

"You say that, but need I remind you that you've never won against me?"

"Yeah, but that's not why I came to talk to you. So, do you want in or not?"

"No thanks. I've already made a name for myself in the guild. Ask Juvia to be your partner; I'm sure she'll be happy."

"You're no fun, Jade. But don't come crying to me if I get stronger than you by doing S-rank missions."

"I'm sure you and Juvia would make a great duo."

"Well, that's a shame. But don't worry, if I become an S-rank mage, I'll take you with me."

"See? You can be nice when you want to. When does it start?"

"In a week."

"Then I wish you good luck."

"Well, I'll leave you to it. I'm going to talk to Juvia."

"Okay, if you need me, I'll be here."

"Alright," he said as he left.

A week went by, and Gadjeel and Juvia left for the S-rank trials. I headed to the guild and approached the quest board.

"So, what quests am I going to pick today?"

I scanned the quests and saw one that caught my eye: the mission was to uncover the secret of Phantom Lord's angel for 70,000 jewels.

"Wait a minute. Phantom Lord's angel is me. I hope this is a joke. Anyway, nothing can happen to me. Nobody believes this kind of announcement."

I decided to go home, but when I got there, I saw people in my house—more precisely, magicians.

"Get out of my house right now! And how did you even know where I live?"

"It was your friend Gadjeel who told us where you live," one of them said.

"And did anyone else know?"

"I don't know, but it seems the whole town knows."

This curses Gadjeel. When he comes back, he'll be a dead man.

Gadjeel's POV

"Sneeze!"

"Are you alright, Gadjeel? Are you sick?" Juvia asked.

"No, it must just be Jade cursing me for putting a quest on her."

"I don't think she'll spare you when we finish the S-class selections, Gadjeel."

"After all, we're very good friends."

A week passed. Our dear protagonist was chased all week, and people broke into her house even at night while she was sleeping. She ended up going to the Magic Council to withdraw the mission, and they, of course, accepted. Right now, I was looking forward to Gadjeel and Juvia's return, because they would arrive soon.

I was waiting outside the guild for Gadjeel and Juvia to arrive. I didn't have to wait long; after a few minutes, I saw them coming.

"So, how did your week go, Jade?" Gadjeel asked, laughing.

"I've had worse. How did you do?"

"Of course, Juvia did well, and so did Gadjeel."

"Yes, it was very easy," he said as if it was a given.

"Congratulations to you both. I was sure you would succeed."

"Too bad you didn't come. It was really great there."

"Juvia, can you give us a moment? I'd like to talk to Gadjeel a bit, please."

"Of course, Juvia doesn't see any problem," she said, whispering something in Gadjeel's ear. "Juvia warned you, Gadjeel."

That was the last sentence Gadjeel heard before Juvia left.

"You know, Jade, it was just a joke. You don't need to get mad."

"A joke that ruined my quiet time and precious sleep. You know I can forgive anything except when my sleep is disturbed."

"Come on, you can let it go this time, no?"

"Not this time," I said, moving closer to Gadjeel.

"It was just a joke! A joke!" he said, starting to run away.

Since that day, Gadjeel never dared to disturb my sleep again. Once more, a year passed, and I had become much stronger. My level was now that of an S+ rank mage, and with my katana, it rose to SS rank. I had learned many new techniques, which you will see in the next chapters. For now, I was on a mission and received a letter from Jose.

Jade, hurry back to the guild. We are going to attack Fairy Tail soon. After all, you are the strongest mage of the guild. We are waiting for you to start our plan.

Signed, Master Jose.

"So, the attack on Fairy Tail will begin soon. I can't wait to see how it goes," I thought, excitement tingling through me.
