Chapter 48: Request

Chapter 48: Request

~Silva POV~

[July 23, X784]

Ugh…

Waking up feeling a bit groggy I found myself to be in the cave why was I in this cave?

Thinking back after regaining some clarity of yesterday's events my eyes widen as I mumble to myself what transpired, "Oh right. Drank Demon's blood gaining ice powers. Speaking of Ice powers…"

*Shiiii*

Feeling the new control I acquired I began to form simple ice cubes out of thin air and then change them into big enough icicles to make me smile that it worked. And to check out my new tattoo as well on my upper chest.

Standing up again I began to check out the newest skills I gained as well as checking out my <Indominable Spirit> skill as I recall that leveling up like crazy.

Time to check it out.

Skill List.

----

<Indominable Spirit> (Passive) Lv.65/100 Exp: 34%

Description: My mind, body, and spirit won't fall to the likes of anyone human, demon, dragon, or God to bind me. This skill grants resistance to mental based attacks and suppresses negative emotions.

<Bloodlust> (Active) Lv. MAX

Description: Using the user's murderous intent releases their malicious intent as several targets can be selected with the effects of 'fear' on them. The effects of <Fear> cause all the target's stats to be -50% under the effects for 1 minute.

<Cryokinesis> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 32%

Description: By drinking the artifact blood Demon's Extract the user has gained the skill <Cryokinesis>. This skill grants its user the ability to freeze anything by reducing the kinetic energy of atoms, meaning effectively making things colder, ranging from chilling levels to absolute zero. You can manipulate and generate ice mold as the user sees fit.

<Temperature Immunity> (Passive) Lv. MAX

Description: The ability to be immune to all forms of temperature thanks to drinking the Demon's Extract.

----

Nice.

I couldn't help but smirk seeing the skills I gained along with <Temperature Immunity> being a nice advantage to have in the future.

The <Bloodlust> skill must be from the Demon's Extract causing me to go mad releasing all of that murderous intent. The only way I got <Bloodlust> that explains why I got the skill is thanks to the Teigu side effects.

Nodding at the achievement I got from using the item and gaining pure ice abilities without Magic I headed out from the cave but not before I get those extra stat points from my daily request.

A man got to grind right?

*Fwp*

*Fwp*

Returning down to the ground and looking at the guild in front of me a sense of pride welled up inside me being part of this crazy group filled me.

I have been to the guild sometimes when I can eat or simply to read the books they contained for knowledge.

Entering through the guild where another brawl is occurring again as usual, I began to avoid it shifting my attention to Mira as she greets me happily, "Morning sleepy head! You here to eat this time around?"

I merely gave a curt nod looking at the menu before ordering the food I wanted while asking if Levy was around today, "Morning Mirajane, and sure. The usual of eggs and bacon with orange juice. Say, do you know if Levy is around today or on a job?"

Paying for my order of 200J to Mira she thought about it before replying to me in a happy chipper tone, "Yeah. I heard Levy arrived back yesterday you'll find her at the library as usual. And Erza left me a message she won't be around for the rest of this month."

That peaked, my interest as to why Mira turned around to serve me my plate of food I asked why curiously, "Oh really? Do you happen to know why she couldn't come for the rest of this month?"

At that, Mirajane merely smiled as she replied it was usual business with Erza on an S-Class Request, "Just an S-Class Request on the second floor. One that Master told her to do since it was a bit urgent but nothing too dangerous for her. She promises to pick the training when she returns though."

Giving a curt nod and thanking Mira for the information I began to finish up my breakfast as she finishes up her bartender business as I eat.

When I was almost finished eating, I looked to my side to see Gray and Ur both coming in as the lady herself came out with a grin on her face, "Ah! If it isn't my favorite savior haven't seen, you around how are things going."

Finishing up my breakfast and leaving there I smiled seeing the ice duo replying back, "Good. I see the new tattoo on you Ur. So, you finally joined our Guild huh?"

She nodded at my question as Gray began to speak next in a thankful tone to me, "Still Silva I know I said this before multiple times but thanks for saving my Master and helping her regain her leg again. I still don't know how I could ever repay you."

I merely shrugged at that Gray, but an idea did come to mind if he wanted to repay me for saving his Master, "Well… there is something I would like to ask if you really want to repay me back?"

His eyes widen and nodded he'll do it given it's reasonable of course.

I nodded as I replied to him as well as extending to Ur my request on how to practice their Ice Make style into my own thanks to my <Cryokinesis>, "In that case can you both teach how to perform Ice-Make Magic? Recently I have come to acquire a need to practice since Erza is out of town at the moment. If it's not too much trouble of course."

The two blinked as Gray crossed his arms perplexed at my request but didn't deny assisting me though just confused, I'm asking for so little, "Ice Make Magic? Well… I was thinking a bit more but sure when I have spare time I could. I specialize more in Static Ice-Make Magic. More object creation orientation so to speak. But if that's all you ask then sure."

Ur was in the same boat laughing lightly to herself about my request to which she agrees to make me shiver slightly at the training routine, "Ara ara. Then you are in good hands then Silva. I happen to be a great Ice Make teacher and can teach you the Motion aspect of Ice Make like Lyon. Just don't complain when it comes to listening to my teaching okay my savior. Fufuf…"

Gray paled at that as I merely shrugged at her response.

Probably have to do with… strip… underwear training…

…

All I hope for is I don't become a stripper at the end of this.

But if I get to see a milf hot body while training in the ice coldness in nothing but her underwear and bra then I see I had a good reason to save Ur now.

It was all for this moment.

We discussed beginning with training sessions tomorrow at certain time periods since the two came looking for a Job for them to do.

I'm so lucky I placed a marker on Mt. Hakobe since Ur requested, we train in that place for a long duration of I understudying them in Ice-Make Magic since I might get inspiration from them as well learn along the way.

Finishing up our conversation I began to go towards the Guild Library hoping that Levy would help me out as Mavis helps from her own personal home on Tenrou Island.

As I walked ahead my eyes tilted towards the Guild being lively as ever causing me to smile at how this group of misfits somehow saves their country and home.

A Fairy Tale in the making huh?

Hahaha!

/////

As I walk towards entering the library of the Guild I saw Levy was around along with two other people with her, must be Jet and Droy.

Jet is a slim, young man of average height with orange hair, kept jutting backward at the sides of his head. He has a sharp face, a prominent, flat, and defined nose pointing downwards, and distinctive teeth, with a protruding, sharp, triangular-shaped upper molar complemented by a chipped portion on the lower row, something which allows him to close his teeth completely despite such a peculiar physical irregularity.

Jet donned an open, light-brown coat with yellowish fur trimmings on its edges and sleeves, which reached down below his elbows. Below it was a high-collared purple shirt, with its collar mostly left open, which was sometimes seen left hanging over the checkered belt below it, with a rectangular buckle, and others tucked inside the baggy dark pants covering Jet's legs, in turn, tucked inside dark boots.

Droy is a tall, slim young man with black hair kept in an unusual, distinctive hairstyle, with a tuft of hair on top of his head jutting upwards and then curving frontwards, being reminiscent of a plant's stem. His hair extends in a rounded form on his forehead and was cut on both sides of Droy's head in a spiraling motif. Droy has dark eyes and thin dark eyebrows pointing downwards at their outer edges; his rectangular-shaped face sported sharp features, with prominent cheekbones.

Droy's first outfit consisted of a simple white shirt, green checkered pants, and dark shoes with lighter soles. He also sported a pair of distinctive belts crossing his chest, each passing over one of his shoulders. These belts were reminiscent of bandoliers, sporting rectangular cases on them, which contain special "secret seeds" used for his Plant Magic.

Entering through the door Jet and Droy noticed my presence as I enter greeting Levy and them when we first met, "Yo Levy! Been a while since we last meet how are you doing? And nice to meet you both I'm Silva Knight pleasure meeting you…"

Levy greeted me happily as Jet and Droy both began to introduce themselves to me in a calm manner as she talked to me, "Silva pleasure to meet you again. Heard lots of things about you like how you began dating Erza. How did that go by the way?"

She was giving me a curious look but merely replied it was just a casual date talking to her normally along with the casual sparring (beatings) after our date to that point much to the males, surprise and horror of my description.

Jet was the first to ask how I'm even standing without being traumatized by being Erza's personal punching bag, "Dude… how the heck do you keep standing trying to match Erza?! I'm surprised to hear the type of sparing you guys do and it makes me shiver in fear just listening… ugh…"

To that, I merely replied in a casual response to Jet's remark quietly thanking my <Indominable Spirit> skill for helping me out not having a mental breakdown, "Simple. Never give in and never give up. I'm aiming to be S-Class someday so I might as well get some fresh experience on the subject against them. Helps to plan if I ever encounter one myself someday."

Levy and the group casually nodded but I could see sweat drops from my words as they all speak out, "Yup he's definitely a Fairy Tail member for something crazy alright."

Ouch.

But touché on that matter.

Returning to the original purpose of meeting Levy I decided to just ask her help on learning to decipher codes and runes, "But I didn't come here just for a simple meet and greet. I came to ask for some tutoring sessions on deciphering runes and codes if you have the time of course. And you'll be paid for your help. I am to understand you're an expert on that matter, right?"

Levy seemed happy at the idea as she clasps her hands together agreeing to help me out on that front, "Sure! I don't mind at all but we are guildmates you don't have to charge me for your help… unless it's really long time then I might wind up charging you."

I laughed lightly but agreed with her much to the two's despair seeing me get her to agree while they are her childhood friends but got rejected.

I'm not all that interested in dating just growing stronger but if it means I can learn then I don't mind much.

Besides that, I do need to learn some Rune Magic in the future to update not only my spells but also add effects to my weapons in my downtime.

Best to be prepared for any situation right.
