Chapter 94: Actions Speak Louder

Chapter 94: Actions Speak Louder

~Silva K. POV~

[September 21, X784]

Yesterday was something learning how the Guild managed to botch it up along with the craziness that I gladly missed out on.

According to Lucy's words, it was a grizzly scene. And after all of that, on a day not long afterward, it was published.

Even have the Sorcerer Weekly magazine reading the contents inside. As everyone predicted, it did much to spread Fairy Tail's bad reputation near and far.

But that was expected with how crazy everyone is. Now onto the new my latest agenda. Create Replica.

*Shiiii*

Digitalizing another Replica with Archer out I began to give it orders to grant itself new clothing as I made some adjustments of what to make this guy be in a curious tone, "Now that I can have both of you two out it's best to figure out what to do with you… I already have Archer for long-range, and I can work well with mid-range… Lancer perhaps?"

The thought did cross my mind but shook it off with the number of weapons I have I could simply create another Saber now that I think about it.

With the number of weapons, I have I should probably go with this from the start with the amount of swords I have on hand.

Perhaps allowing my Saber to use the Rare Suit as armor would benefit me since it's durable and can escape underground when need be.

Oh right.

I almost forgot I have the choice of getting a Cursed or Blessed Chest Box from the previous quest, don't I?

Getting curious I began to see which ones to go for this time around…

Hmmm….

Well, I do want a weapon that benefits for my new Replica to practice on but depending on the item of question it could be something out of this world or a skill book possibly manual to relearn to further my arsenal.

After giving some thought to what box to get from the previous reward I decided to go with Cursed Box this time around hoping I get something good.

[Ding!]

[You have chosen Cursed Box!]

I decided to take this one as it opens to reveal a blank card.

I was confused about this before I used my observation skills to investigate the information about this card.

<Observe >.

----

Item: Blank Card

Rarity Item: SSS

Type: Skill Card

Description: This item will grant the user to copy a skill from an enemy, ally, or object to copy the skill of the user's choice to add into a skill.

----

My eyes widened at the use of this card as I couldn't help but grin happily at the idea of who to use this on. But that's for a later plan when the time I could use this item to its fullest on a certain individual when the chance arises.

Turning over to my other Replica I decided on which class of fighting it should focus on as I make my demand to Saber, "Alright it's decided! From this point forward you shall be called Saber. You work on close range with Sword Magic to help get better efficiency and create sword-based skills or refine them."

Saber nodded as Archer clapped his hands happily holding Pumpkin for his main gun usage along with the Magic Revolver on the side.

Might have to meet up with Magic Shop to see if they have any Magic Armor, they have on store for me to add to my arsenal to use for my Saber with modifications to boot.

!!

Hmm…

Detecting a change and sudden increase of Magic Power…

Sigh…

Seems like I might have to intervene soon enough preparing Ricochet and Grand Chariot space materializing preparing to intervene.

~Third POV~

Standing in a clearing away from anyone nearby Gajeel looked at Droy, Jet, and Levy who she was hiding behind a wall with him talking to Team Shadow Gear, "Okay, you called me out here. Let's hear why. I got a job I have to get to."

Jet and Droy were both visibly angry at Gajeel's response talking about the past as the two rushed ahead and attacked but –

"<Solid Script: BLOCK>!"

*Poof*

Before they were blocked by Levy's Solid Script much to their surprise and shock as did Gajeel of her reaction with Jet asking why, "What!! Levy, you know what that guy did to us!! Why would you –"

However, Jet was stopped as Levy countered an argument trying to reason with her teammates about their actions, "Because he's part of our guild… As much as I personally say I'm okay with it… I'm not okay with it… but that doesn't give us the right to attack him like this. No matter how justifiable it is for the both of you…. If he truly intends to change his ways let him show it by his actions…"

Despite shaking in fear the talk with Silva reminded her not to let fear or prior actions deter her from doing what she believes is right.

Encouraging from previous conversations she decided to let Gajeel's actions speak for himself giving him a genuine chance after listening to Silva's story of how Juvia put herself through helping Erza's situation.

It gave her much time to think about yesterday about her stance about Gajeel joining the guild and the conversation of her stance with the Iron Dragon Slayer.

At the moment she would tolerate him trying to get past her fear of the man who harmed her in the past and trusts the Guild Master's judgment as with Silva trusting Juvia's judgment of the man.

Gajeel merely looked away but did feel guilty attacking them the way he did in the past victims stood up for him.

At the time when Gajeel only attacked Team Shadow Gear was because of his loyalty affiliated guild with Phantom Lord as his completely and genuinely dedicated to whatever guild he was affiliated with.

The very reason, he instigated the Fairy Tail-Phantom Lord Guild War was simply because, as long time-rivals, he believed that the Fairy Tail Mages were enemies.

Despite his tough exterior, Gajeel is as emotionally vulnerable as any other person since he remained silent contemplating his actions as he would've allowed Team Shadow Gear with his sense of honor, to retaliate and let them attack him for a chance to try and be part of the guild.

Gajeel's sense of honor, despite his actions while a part of Phantom Lord; when Shadow Gear confronts Gajeel for the heinous act he committed upon them, he makes himself an open target, acknowledging the terrible act he had done to them, and gives them the opportunity for vengeance.

However, Droy wanted to vent his frustration against Gajeel but also didn't want to break Levy's feelings on the matter despite trying to justify their actions.

*Shkkk*

*Shkkk*

Seeing how things were turning out leaving the two members of Shadow Gear distraught they listened to the sounds of a person coming revealing to be Laxus surprising them, "What's this? Who's picking on who here?"

"Laxus?!"

*Stmp*

*Stmp*

Gajeel even gets surprised as Laxus goes near him with his expression shifting to anger with each step pulsating electricity talking down to Gajeel, "I get it. This is the punk who did a number on our guild right? Damned old man… recruiting people just so that they don't attack his guild anymore huh?"

Veins popped out from his expression with clear disgust and anger directed at Gajeel as he released his Magic and frustration, "That's why people are looking down and laughing at us!!! Turds like you!!!"

*DRA-KOOM*

"AHHHH!"

A thunderbolt strikes down on Gajeel as he yells getting electrified in the process and used as Laxus's frustration to vent at doing nothing to defend himself.

Levy, Jet, and Droy shook as they could do nothing as Laxus continued to strike down Thunderbolt after Thunderbolts making Team Shadow Gear realize he wasn't retaliating back from Laxus's strikes.

Realizing the situation of Gajeel's intention of not wanting to harm them despite Levy interfering as he continues to beat him up, "You're the whole reason that everybody thinks we're weak!!! You can apologize by dying!!! I'm going to kill anybody who opposes Fairy Tail!!!"

Jet tries to intervene seeing Laxus is going too far despite his anger for Gajeel the actions are too brutal for him to just sit back, "Stop it, Laxus!!! That's enough!!!!"

*Keeen*

*Veee*

Shooting out a lightning bolt between Jet and Droy aiming for Levy in shock Laxus vents out his anger at them, "Shut up!!! The useless have no right to speak!!!"

*WOOSH*

Gajeel finally reacted as he was about to use his body to defend Levy from the strike a blur occurred blocking his vision as the lightning bolt strike soon reflected upward the sky as Silva appeared in his Grand Chariot armor.

His eyes are directed towards Laxus as he talks to Gajeel while handing him a Small Salve thanking him much to his surprise equipped with his Ricochet, "Thanks for trying to take the hit for her from him. Here this will help with your wounds."

Gajeel not expecting Silva of all people to help him recognizes Mastema with wings as he hesitates but takes the jar with Laxus's expression turning sour towards Silva, "So even you try to help these weaklings. Didn't you hate this guy's guts as much as those two?"

Jet and Droy flinched at that with Silva merely replying having Arifar out with Archer and Saber waiting at the ready in a neutral tone, "There is nothing wrong with helping those who can't help themselves. They were in trouble, and I helped. Nothing more nothing less from a bully. Even, if we were former enemies and I want to attack him for his prior actions… I'll trust Juvia's words if he's willing to change I'll let his action speak for himself."

*Zzzzz*

*WOOOOSH*

*Zzzzz*

Sparks flared up from Laxus irritated by his words glaring at him with Silva preparing to strike as the winds around Arifar resonated with his will surrounding him with powerful air currents that tested his lightning.

"Tsk."

Laxus merely turned around and left muttering out for all nearby to hear with disdain in his tone directed at Silva, "In the end your just another weakling. I have better things to do than squash some bug."

Seeing the situation calming down Jet and Droy both had their heads down with Gajeel leaving for his job in silence but with one word from them to hear, "Sorry…"

No words were needed as everyone soon dispersed to think about today's actions and feelings with Silva turning off and sighing to himself, "Sigh… well I certainly gained one friend and one enemy today. Now then… where's that Magic Store."

Despite the heavy mood, Silva remained his excited self to begin furthering his skills as he began to obtain items he needed from the Magic Store.

While shopping inside the Magic Store Silva noticed Makarov appeared walking searching for him as he addressed him, "Hello Master Fancy seeing you here? Is there any particular reason?"

Makarov soon replied to Silva asking for him a favor raising an eyebrow to look after someone much to his confusion…
