Chapter 99: Redo of the Fairy
~Tatsumi POV~
*BRR*
"RAGGGHHH!!!"
Yelling…
A lot of yelling into the bright night sky away from the Magnolia town trying to drown out all my rage and attempt to MURDER Mavis with all my hate. I never felt so angry in all my life with Mavis.
This is probably the very first time for me to be this angry I didn't even know I could get this angry to begin with.
But still what Mavis did with her crap made it so tempting to snuff her out using my <Yatsufusa> to create an undead version of her just so I can USE IT TO –
"Breath… sigh…"
Take deep breaths Tatsumi just take your deep breathes and calmly release my relief trying to hold in my complete anger of wiping out Mavis on the spot.
I know that killing her is wrong just as soon after I gave the option of inviting her to the group chat that was all on fucking me right there but fuck!
*BAM*
Slamming my fist to a nearby tree he began to break down from the hit as I huff my breath while fire began to step out with each huff of my breath. I never felt this angry before and this murderous on someone before.
I mean I usually keep a level head but for some reason, this just pisses me off even more. Is it because I know I haven't been betrayed before…?
…
Tch…
No that is a load of bull I learned that trusting the wrong people from my past life was a fucking mistake. Even when I worked hard to become someone that my parents could be proud of earning a lot of money with my job of becoming a pharmacist to get the big bucks to help provide for my parents.
Then the people I could trust like my 'friends' about my dreams of helping my parents along with my scholarship funds those fucking bastards spent it all in days without me knowing… the money and funds I needed for my future….
All those times slaving away part-time and the funds were there to help me but then those assholes stole it for themselves making me have to pay in debt before entering my dream college and my parents suffered for it.
I wished that I could make those bastard friends suffer a lot than anything because of them my parents wouldn't have worked themselves to the bone!
I wished to have killed them myself!!
Despite being poor they were loving people and…
…
What exactly happened to me now…
The fire from my body began to steam out a bit as slumped down on the ground sitting down as I contemplate my life choices as well as learned about more what exactly happen to me… was I always this angry person or was it because it was my first time experiencing this anger again building up…
"Young boy you seem distressed."
Suddenly hearing a voice I sprang up to see an extremely short, elderly man. He has black eyes and is growing bald with only the outer rims of his head containing white hair. He also has a thick white mustache. He has a black stamp of the Fairy Tail guild mark that covers his entire chest area.
On his first appearance, he was shown dressed casually, with attire consisting of a white shirt with a black Fairy Tail stamp in the middle under an orange hoodie. His attire was completed with matching orange shorts and an orange and blue striped jester hat.
With my eyes surprised it was Makarov Dreyar.
That was when the old man suddenly asked me with his happy going words to me as he spoke out to me, "Now then young lad you seem to be very distressed. When the people of Magnolia town asked me to check out the forest fire around they wanted me to check on Natsu didn't know it was someone else."
Wait did he say forest fire?
Turning around I looked at the damage of my anger did as I was genuinely surprised, I didn't notice as I sigh at this apologizing to the old man, "Sigh… I didn't expect to cause a forest fire. Guess I was blinded by rage. I do apologize sir let me handle this mess."
With a quick wave of my hand, all the fire suddenly disappeared as I controlled it all away by taking away the oxygen they had Makarov looked impressed with my power as he spoke to me calmly, "Hello young man it seems something has been troubling you. Come talk to your issues out loud I hear it's nice to feel let out a person's feeling."
I was hesitating about the idea but I begrudgery sigh out loud as I began to talk to Makarov since he lived a long life he might have some words of advice, "You seem to know a lot mister. But the issue I have is when someone I trusted acted differently started acting differently and attacked for not agreeing I can't help but feel angry at them."
Makarov nods his head at this as I continued my rant about a friend acting different and attacking me for no reason other than defending her family but going about through violence instead of talking things out.
I couldn't help but feel extreme anger for it as I couldn't help but want to harm her but I stopped myself from doing any more damage as to not cause unnecessary things but the pain of betrayal was something I can't handle as I needed time to distress myself.
Or else I might have done something I would regret doing…
I have been doing this all by myself making sure I don't mess up as sometimes no people can understand me at times it just drives me crazy.
After I finish ranting Makarov nods his head as he narrows his eyes in a serious expression as he began to speak to me understandingly, "I see… young man from what I can tell you seem to have trouble trusting people from experience. Now I won't tell you how to handle your life but I do know there are people in this world that enjoy being alone, but there isn't a single person who can bear solitude."
Listening to the old man Makarov looked at the distance as he continues to explain to me further what I should do as he speaks honestly, "From what I can tell you seem to be a very disturbed individual about trusting others but you seem to be clouded with your fears in your heart as well as anger. You fear of what happen would ruin things with others with that temper of yours as well affect your daily life in the process."
I nodded to him as he continues to give me some speech in a serious tone as he sighs in my direction, "Sigh… Now listen here young man in this world, there is no Magic that defames or determines life. Life is given birth from love and trusts no Magic can change that. If you don't have the power to change that then you are stuck the way in fear of what might be or not."
I was somewhat shocked to hear what the old man was spitting out as he gave one final piece of advice at me waiting for an answer I assume as he spoke with the same level of seriousness to me pointing his hand at my chest, "Soon, the time for you to understand these things will come... you are still young so you might not understand that now. But will you be sad because someone got killed? Will sadness kill a person? The answer lies in each of your heart only you can decide what to do with yourself to see if you can trust others or not."
With that, he left me alone as he went off on his way back to Magnolia town as I began to think hard of his words to me. I can't help but be unable to fully understand his words to me but I can get the gist of what he was saying at least.
Glancing at my fist I see it tremble a bit as I recall the fight I had with Mavis and I wonder… will all the members act violently if I told them my secret?
Tell them I was reincarnated and simply used them to get by without them being aware that I'm using them solely for my benefit because if I knew from all along at the time and realize that I was indeed using them like that…
…
Would I have to survive their conflict by retaliating protecting myself in the process…?
…
Or would I fear they would no longer talk to me again how I have grown to trust them as people close to me…?
Those questions in my head terrify me as I justify myself on getting stronger to be sure I wouldn't be hurt and live how I like to as well as survive… when have my goals changed this much?
All this time I have originally used the group chat and their members as a means to an end to simply survive in the Akame ga Kill world but…
Shaking my head I look up at the night sky as I question myself even more about the issues I have with myself as I spoke out with no one hearing me, "When have I started to actually stop caring on surviving solely on myself and instead of others?"
*Vroom*
…
…
After having time to cool off I return to where Hinata and Mavis were located as we looked away at each other. Mavis and I have some scores to settle but both of us aren't willing to make the first move to speak.
But I can tell that Mavis is indeed really depressed by the earlier attack as I sensed it with my <Observation Haki> that much is obvious.
'The answer lies in each of your heart only you can decide what to do with yourself to see if you can trust others or not.'
Being reminded of Makarov's words inside my head I guess I can only be the one to decide if our relationship status is like this or I make the first move.
Taking a deep breath I began to smile again as I asked out of concern for Mavis and apologize to Hinata for leaving like that in anger, "Sorry about the way I acted Hinata it was very unbecoming of me to act like that. And Mavis…."
Mavis flinches at this as I try to let bygones be bygones as she looked surprised at my quick change of tune, "So about what happened earlier. How about we forget all about it and restart anew again and hopefully on better circumstances this time."
Mavis looks at me with then down on the ground as tears were dropped from her face as I see her hair only as she responds to me but with a broken voice, "Why…? After what I did earlier and losing my cool even going as far as attacking you… why be nice now and not hate me for what I did…"
Taking a breath and releasing it I began to explain to Mavis honestly what I felt as I responded to her bluntly while reaching her for a handshake, "No I don't think I'll ever forget that you attacked me Mavis and I am still very much hate you with all my might. But that doesn't mean I can keep on distrusting you like this with anger so how about we start over again and hopefully make this count. I'll go first the names is Tatsumi and you?"
She takes one look at me then my hands as she glances up to me as she shakes it as a sign of a redo of what happened as her tears finally stop, "Fine… hello I'm Mavis Vermillion it's a pleasure to finally met you Tatsumi."

A/N: Sorry for the wait guys I had to find a way to get through this chapter after leaving it from 98 to find a resolution but that isn't forced. Here in this one, I showed off one of the very few times the MC talks more about his past and where his anger stems from trusting people by nature from her previous life.
A/N Extra: Also how do you like how the two ended up with an aftermath conflict with Mavis and Tatsumi? This shows that Tatsumi hasn't fully forgiven Mavis but is willing to let this conflict be water under the bridge to trust Mavis again after the talk with Makarov to at least give Mavis a second chance.
