32 Chapter 31 : (Plan B?)

. . .

"It's nice to meet you, Void Shredder."

Siegrain said, extending his hand to Daniel and smiling.

"It's good to meet you as well, Mr.Siegrain."

Daniel said smiling and shaking Siegrain's hand.

"May I ask how we know each other?"

Siegrain said looking straight at Daniel's eyes to see if he could find anything.

However, all he could see on Daniel's eyes were indifference, as if he were meeting someone random and not a member of the Magic Council.

<'Siegrain' : Oh? Interesting…. Even though he is meeting a member of the Magic Council, he is still calm and collected.>

"Oh, well, you might not know who I am."

Daniel said with a smirk while crossing his arms.

"Hm?"

Siegrain then stared at Daniel curiously, a glint passed through his eyes.

<Siegrain : Does he perhaps know about my real 'past'? Did Erza tell him? No, impossible, Erza wouldn't tell anyone. She knows the consequence of telling anyone about our 'past'. Plus she doesn't know that 'Siegrain' is not real.>

"But I definitely know who you are. Who you 'truly' are."

Daniel said still smirking.

Suddenly, the air turned really tense.

'Siegrain's' face turned serious, as he looked at Daniel coldly.

Meanwhile, Daniel continued to look at Siegrain indifferently, with his arms crossed.

Suddenly, 'Siegrain' started to release his Etherion into the air. Daniel felt pressure on his body but his 'Constitution' was too strong so he did not feel the pressure as much.

However, the Envoy and magic soldier who were behind were pushed to the ground and were sweating in fear.

Suddenly, Daniel started to release his Energy into the air just like 'Siegrain' and started to clash with Siegrain's Etherion 'Aura'. However, they were both holding back. As time passed, the pressure, both of them were releasing, was increasing. Siegrain started to turn into a golden pillar and Daniel into a pillar of dark energy with glittery stars.

As for the Envoy and the magic soldier have fainted a while ago.

The prison has been shaking this whole time. The walls started to have cracks form on them and the whole prison seemed close to collapsing.

Suddenly, Siegrain stopped releasing his Etherion. Daniel also retracted his Energy.

Siegrain continue to stare at Daniel with a serious look. He was testing out Daniel's strength. If Daniel couldn't handle his Etherion pressure he will eliminate him. However he now knew that Daniel should be of equal strength at least. However this is just an estimate, he doesn't truly know the true limits of Daniel yet. What he didn't know was that Daniel only used 80% of his strength.

"Let's go have a talk at my office then."

Siegrain finally said walking outside walking over the magic soldier and the Envoy and ignoring them completely.

Daniel followed him and also walked over the poor Envoy and magic soldier.

. . .

When Daniel arrived at Siegrain's mansion, he was stunned. The mansion was beautiful, to put it simply. In the entrance, there were two massive magic statues that protected the house. Those alone were extremely expensive due to their ability to negate magic.

There were, also, 2 Rune Knights who were guarding the door. When the two Rune Knights saw Siegrain they opened the door.

"Welcome back sir!"

The two Rune Knights said respectfully.

After he enter the mansion, he was once again stunned. It was a beautiful mix of crystal and black. This was due to the entire place was a mix of magic repellant stone and diamond, making it possibly the strongest material possible.

(EN: I did this part. I am not a f*ckin house designer so please spare me.)

'What the hell is this, a f*ckin pimped fortress!?'

Daniel looked around in awe.

'I will get myself a mansion like this one day and, it will be hundred times better!'

Daniel thought to himself, resolutely.

They finally reached the office of Siegrain. Siegrain went and sat down on his chair, Daniel sat on one of the two chairs in front of the desk.

Siegrain then put his hands together and put his chin on them, he then stared at Daniel with a cold look.

"So, tell me, what do you know about me?"

Siegrain asked coldly.

Daniel stared back at Siegrain with a calm look.

"Well then Mr. Fernandes I know for one that you are not really here."

Daniel said, smirking at 'Siegrain'.

"I also know your full name is Jellal Fernandes. I also know that you were best friends with Erza. I know that you were a slave of the Dark Wizards that restarted R-System in the past. I know the harsh life that you lived in the past. I know everything….."

Daniel said as he grinned at Jellal smugly.

Jellal stared at Daniel in shock and a hint of fear.

<Jellal : How does he know all of this?!>

"I also know that you are trying to restart the R-System!"

Daniel said as his face then turned stony and eyes cold.

Suddenly in Jellal's eyes Killing Intent flared up. However he retracted it quickly.

"Oh?"

Jellal looked at Daniel coldly.

"And what will you do with this information?"

"I will keep it to myself."

Daniel said smiling.

"What? Why?"

Jellal looked at Daniel puzzled.

"Because it is not I who should be facing you in the future."

Daniel said with a mysterious smile.

Jellal just stared at Daniel in shock and confusion.

"However, I need you to get me out of this mess that I am in."

Daniel said scratching his head awkwardly.

"Ok. As long as you continue to keep the information about me safe."

Jellal said as he extended his hand to Daniel.

"Deal!"

Daniel said smiling and shaking Jellals hand.

. . .

Next day Jellal headed to the Council's Hall.

Daniel meanwhile was placed in another 'Prison'. This 'prison' was actually a hotel owned by Jellal. The R-System actually required a lot of resources so Jellal had a lot of his own businesses. And since Daniel could easily destroy the previous prison he was held in there was no point for him to go back to another similar prison.

When the Warden of the prison came he found cracks everywhere, as if an earthquake has occurred inside the prison. The prisoners could've easily escaped if they had tried to break down the weakened and cracked walls, luckily however they were knocked out by the 'pressure' confrontation of Daniel and Jellal, some even died after fainting. So none were able to escape during this period.

"What happened here?"

The Ward said with a hint of fear. The Ward then saw an Envoy and a Rune Knight passed out On the floor. He then went to the Rune Knight and shaked to wake him up.

*Groan…..*

The magic soldier(or Rune Knight) groggily opened his eyes to find the prison Ward staring at him with a puzzled face and a hint of fear in his eyes.

"U-uh?"

The magic soldier then looked around in fear, however all it found were cracked walls and fainted inmates everywhere.

"Phew….."

The magic soldier let out a breath of relief.

"What happened here?"

The Ward said as he stood up and picked the magic soldier by the shoulder.

The magic soldier looked at the Ward and hesitated.

"Tell me!"

The Ward said with a hint of worry.

"Y-y-yes. Envoy Rene, recently arrested a criminal who killed a politician. However this criminal demanded to speak with Sir Siegrain…"

The magic soldier then took a deep breathe with fear remembering the two monsters letting their pressure free.

"When they met the criminal said something that angered Sir Siegrain which led them to having a showdown with their Etherion 'pressure'. I don't know what happened next, I fainted."

The magic soldier said with fear in his voice and eyes.

The Ward then looked around in fear.

<Ward : This prison is made of Anti-Etherion material yet they both could still easily rip this place apart with their strength… It would be best not to provoke these two figures, so I'll try to keep this under wraps until I am able to communicate with Sir Siegrain.>

The Warden didn't want to get in trouble with the Magic Council so he definitely needed to talk with 'Siegrain', although he didn't really want to provoke 'Siegrain' because of his status as member of the Magic Council and his show of strength in the prison.

. . .

Currently, Daniel is living comfortable in his new 'prison'.

Waiting for Jellal to get him out of this mess. However he can't completely trust Jellal so he has a plan B. If Jellal can not help him out he will leave and not come back to Fairy Tail until he can easily crush the Magic Council. His current strength may be enough for him to hold out against 2 members of the Magic Council, so going against the whole Magic Council along with their army of Rune Knights could easily annihilate him. Daniel does not like this plan, that is why if worse comes to worse he will have to go through this plan and he won't be able to see his family and friends.

"*Sigh... Damn it why the f**k did I lose control."

Daniel said as he looked out his window.
