Chapter 56 Time passes

One year later 778

Karna looked at the year that had passed. In the last year there were no missions that he had to complete from the system. His only target at the time is to master his slayer magic and his arrow art. Now he can do a 100-arrow art with combination with his other arrows.

He even nearly perfected the flying thunder raijin move that he was planning to do, though his reaction time has increased it still has not increased enough for him to consider it as an S class level move but still progress has increased

Though the most important thing was not that

The eggs hatched

And he got two cute Charmanders to raise as well. They behaved like normal newborn babies at the beginning and had to be taken care of by him and Cana constantly creating a headache for them while the guild mates teased them relentlessly for it. All the kids had helped him as well with Natsu being the most helpful after finding out that they might resemble dragons when they grow up. He named the male Ash and the female Agni.

Thankfully Mavis had come back at that time with a sad face saying that she was not able to find any arrow art and when Karna said he already got an arrow art she looked like a lost puppy for a few hours. But seeing the Charmander babies cheered her up and because of being ethereal she has no need of sleeping unless she wants to and was able to take care of the babies while Karna and Cana were resting. Though she was a bit annoying with crying sometimes saying she become a grandmother to early or something. Gildarts and Cornelia also sometimes showed the same expression.

She was surprised to hear about the Drakon quest and was even more surprised to hear about the magic that Karna invented. She said that even she might not be able to create such magic and said that Karna was now eligible even to inherit her tactician title since the title not only signified her achievements in the war but also her magical research as well. Even though she did not say Acnalogia's name outright she mentioned a dangerous creature with almost the same type of magic and told Karna to be careful about it.

Gramps had also brought in the Strauss siblings, and they also seamlessly joined the family after a few days. Mira also joined the girls club with Lisanna though Karna felt like not looking into what it meant is better for him as well.

Natsu also found the exceed egg which they expected would hatch a Charmander like Karna's but instead hatched a blue cat that can fly though it did not diminish Natsu's excitement, and he named it Happy just like in cannon.

Romeo the future fire mage of the guild was also born this year and Macao also celebrated it too much with the other guild members causing more public property damage.

And in the recent annual meeting of guild masters Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord reignited their rivalry and small scuffles with their guild members also started as well. Karna had met the Phantom Lord guild master Joseph once and was able to say that he can easily be laid out by any of the top five members of the guild. Though he did not reveal his powers outside making Joseph think that he is not that strong. Which played into Karna's hands as according to him an assassin is stronger when others do not know his limits. It will be easier to snipe an arrow in his head that way.

He also had asked the council not to publicise his involvement in the drakon quest and they agreed, though they did it seeing that Karna will not leave the fairy tail guild and increasing his political power did not seem like a nice idea. But the relevant people whose families owe Mavis and is obliged to send their assistance to Karna if needed were influential and was able to find out about his accomplishments and decided to keep it a secret as per his wishes.

Though the elders of the family who were alive during the age of war were knowledgeable about the mental capabilities of Mavis, seeing Karna her supposed descendent having the same mental faculties instructed their young ones to try their best to make connections with him and not to make an enemy out of him whatever the case.

Furthermore, he got the nickname of Golden kill from the public seeing his absolute mastery in archery and his habit of finishing his missions cleanly without any sort of public property damage. Though in the inner societies who knew about his capabilities named him the Fairy tactician.

Mystogan also joined the guild and used a mask to cover his face. Karna had met him once along with Porlyosika seeing that both were of similar origins were able to find out about each other because of their peculiar condition of a body with no magic. Karna instructed him to cover his face as his alter ego in Earthland was not a person to be amicable with. He also instructed him to never let Erza see his face as that will cause too many problems.

Right now, Karna was reading a report he had received from Makarov's connections about the happenings of Rubengard

In the report he saw that the hero of Rubengard San Jiao Shin had led an anti-government rebellion but had vanished in between the rebellion without leaving any clues behind about what happened.

He put down the report

'It seems like Zoldeo is moving towards the same path as in canon and has now began capturing people to use as summons'

Karna had remembered about Zoldeo's summons but seeing that most of them were heinous villains hiding with the mask of hero or dangerous criminals, he decided to let it go as this way Zoldeo will round all of them up and he will be able to take all of them down in the Tenrou island arc years later.

A/N- hope you like it. I am planning on speeding up the story unless there is something that I need to involve the main character. So the chances of a few chapters being this way before the main cannon is very high. Write a message if you feel like I should not do it

And every 100 powerstones get extra chapter of Jason
