Meeting Lucy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the next 9 months, Shun continued to roam around the various cities. He realized staying in one place was far too boring. It was better to train in a new place once in a while.

He never met up with any other dark guild or light guild. He was a little relieved because it was far too troublesome to deal with these small fries.

Currently, he was eating food in an open restaurant in the Hargeon.

"Waah! Salamander is here!"

"Ooh… The one who uses Fire Magic which can't be bought! That is so great! I can't believe he is in this town!"

Some women walking with hearts in their eyes. Shun raised his brow at their words and then looked at Wilson next to him, "I didn't realize Natsu became so famous that women started to flock to him."

Wilson had a teasing smile as he said, "What? Jealous of his popularity?"

Shun just hmphed at his statement, "Whatever… It's not like his popularity will ever reach my level."

After saying that, Shun and Wilson suddenly frowned as they smelled something fishy, "Wait… That's not Natsu's smell. Is anyone else other than Natsu also titled as Salamander?"

"I don't think so. I don't smell Happy as well. Especially not in that direction where these women are gathering."

Shun furrowed his brows and looked in that direction, "Let's check this out. I feel like someone is trying to use Natsu's name and trick these people."

"Umm… Do we have to? Since when have you cared about dealing with people like these?"

"I don't really care. But this time, someone is using Natsu's title for their own cause, my suspension should be over now, I can't act like I never heard this and refuse to act."

"Whatever you say..." Wilson had a rather laid-back attitude to his response.

Both stood up and started walking towards the one rumoured to be the 'salamander.'

Many people gave way as they looked in Shun's direction. Most of the contributions went to Wilson. People were intimidated by his presence.

Shun looked at Wilson and let out a sigh while thinking, 'If only Wilson was a little larger. I wouldn't need to walk then…'

Wilson saw through his thoughts and shook his head as if saying no.

Soon enough, they reached the place where the women had gathered around a purple-haired man. The man was showing off his pitiful purple fire.

"Ho-ho… So, you are the one who is titled as Salamander, heh? The last I heard was that the Salamander was a member of Fairy Tail, though. I don't think you are him, though."

Many women turned towards him. The hearts in their eyes shattered before they were recreated, as some women squealed in delight, "Waaah! It's Shun-sama! It's Shun-sama!"

"What!? Shun-sama is here!? Shun from Fairy Tail!? Make way!" Many women immediately left the side of that purple-haired guy before flocking to Shun's side.

Shun focused his gaze upon the purple-haired guy who backed away a little when he heard that it was Shun from Fairy Tail. However, he tried to remain calm and said, "Hehe… It looks like you have made some sort of mistake. See you later."

"Red Carpet." Purple flames started gathering under his feet. And soon enough, he flew away from the position.

Wilson looked at Shun and asked him, "Are you sure it was okay to let him go away? He was using Charm magic on these women, and he even used Natsu's reputation."

"He seems so weak that I don't even want to bother with him."

Wilson agreed with those words. It was no fun to fight these people who could be killed just by turning their hands.

Shun and Wilson then turned towards the women who had flocked on to Shun's side. Shun gave a signal to Wilson, who understood what it was.

Lightning flickered around him, and he gave out a loud roar, "RAAAAAAAWWWWRRR!!"

Almost all the women immediately ran away, thinking that the beast had gone berserk. This was a standard trick from Shun and Wilson to make these fangirls run away while not damaging Shun's own reputation.

However, it seemed as though a single girl remained. She had blonde hair in a ponytail with a rather cute face. She was buxom and had a slightly curvaceous body.

"Umm… hello. Thank you for breaking that person's charm magic." She had rosy cheeks as she continued to fidget while peeking at Shun's face.

Shun looked at Wilson, and both blinked at each other. Shun then turned towards Lucy and said to her, "You need not be so polite. I just didn't like that he was using my friend's title like that."

She still bowed her head and said to him, "I would still like to thank you for your help by saving me from that creepy guy. How about I treat you to food?"

At this moment, Shun and Wilson both remembered. They had forgotten their food at that restaurant, and their expression turned grey.

"Shit! I forgot to finish the curry!"

"And I couldn't eat the fish completely! DAMMIT!"

"Eh...what?" Lucy was confused by their words, and she struggled to understand what they were talking about.

Suddenly, Shun stepped forward and took her hands, "I accept your treat. Let's go to the nearby restaurant right away."

Lucy didn't even get to say anything before Shun pulled her towards an expensive restaurant nearby.

Before long, Shun had ordered so much food that it covered the whole table, half of the food was still on its way of being served.

And with that, both Shun and Wilson wolfed and started chomping with no restraint. It was mostly because there was no need to hold back since Lucy was treating them to food.

Even Lucy bitterly laughed at the amount of food they were eating, but she didn't want to take back her words, so she stayed silent about that.

After Shun and Wilson started eating, she started talking with a happy smile, "I, once again, thank you for breaking that man's charm spell. That man was using charm spell even though it had been banned by the Magic Council years ago. To think he needed to resort to cheap magic to have girls flock over him, what a creep."

Shun and Wilson both looked at each other and blinked before they continued eating their food.

Lucy continued speaking, "I may not look like it, but I am a Wizard."

"Really… We couldn't tell."

"There is no need to be sarcastic!"

Both Shun and Wilson were genuine as they said that. Shun because he sensed a rather pitiful amount of magic from her. Around the same level as that of that purple-haired creep from before.

As for Wilson… Well, he didn't think someone so stupid to fall for charm magic would be a wizard.

They didn't say anything because doing so would most likely anger her so much that she wouldn't treat them. They swallowed those words with the food in their mouth.
