Truth

Makarov thought for some time before he started speaking, "To determine whether the Dragon was a threat to us or not."

Gildarts snorted while rolling his eyes, "Give that textbook answer to someone else. Tell me what you really think."

Makarov had a blush on his face as he was found out so quickly, he continued, "According to me, a majority of them would wish for the Dragon to be captured."

"Exactly! The reason Shun healed that Dragon was so it could fight Acnologia for us not so we could try and capture it. Do you remember how Shun would ask you about how your meetings with the magic council went? He had anticipated such a situation. That is why he made you banish him."

Narrowing his eyes at Gildarts, Makarov spoke out with a stern voice, "What are you talking about, Gildarts? Speak clearly..."

"Master… I am sure it wouldn't take you long to understand. Did you never think it was strange how he moved towards the 1st Floor himself? Why did he go towards the first floor knowing Erza would stop him with those rules? If he wanted an S-Rank Mission, he could have asked Laxus, me, or Mira to bring him together. In fact, knowing Mira, she would have grabbed an S-Rank Mission for him and went with him together. Why did he not ask her to do so?"

"You mean to say he did this all for me to banish him?"

"Yes… Shun knew well enough that if he stayed here, he would be asked by the Magic Council to reveal the Dragon's location. And we both know, once the Magic Council is adamant about having something, they won't care about what lengths they have to go. They wouldn't give a damn about firing their Etherion at the Dragon which could possibly be at our side. Though I doubt even that Etherion will do anything to the Dragon other than pissing it off."

"As for how he planned on making you banish him, I had no idea. Though he was sure if you did know about it. You wouldn't banish him. You would have informed Mira and others to convince him to stay."

"Whatever the reason, I shall never forgive him." Makarov's eyes flared up as he remembered how he beat up Erza.

"It doesn't change the fact that after ruthlessly beating her, he smiled as if he liked the feeling. After 2 years, if he doesn't change his ways, I will personally beat sense into him."

At this, Gildarts muttered slowly 'I doubt that...'

As for whether he was talking about Shun changing his ways or Makarov beating sense into Shun, it was unknown.

As of now, Shun was kissing Mirajane on her lips right in front of Wendy. Though Wendy was embarrassed, she remained on the scene with them.

After they pulled away to take some breath, Mira spoke out, "Why did you do it? Even though Tin-Can is a rival to me, there was no need to take it so far."

Negatively shaking his head, Shun responded to her, "How long have you known me… Do you think I would go that far just to get in between your rivalry? I don't interfere with someone else's rivalries. I had other reasons for that. Anyway, you don't need to be worried about her too much. I healed her after she fell unconscious."

"I see..."

"Big Brother… What was the name of the Dragon you met?" Wendy was far too excited that she asked this question.

Shun looked at her and then remembered that Grandeeney was inside of Wendy right now. He looked at Wilson and then at Carla.

He let out a sigh and looked at Mira, "Sorry…" Before Mira's brain could even register his sorry, she was hit on the neck and fell down.

"What? Why did you do it, Shun!?" It was Wilson who shouted out loud. He was confused by this action from Shun.

"Shut up, Wilson. And, I apologise for this, little sister."

Wendy didn't move from her spot. She trusted him much. She let him hit her on her neck and fell down unconscious.

It was Carla who exclaimed with a hint of worry in her voice, "Hey! Just what are you doing!?"

Shun turns towards her and suddenly jumps to catch her. Carla was in his hands, and Shun started to overload her body with magic.

"I apologize, but I need you to sleep as well!" With that, Carla felt as if her consciousness was forcefully suppressed, and she went into a deep sleep.

"To think I would be raising my hand at my precious ones for some dragons. This better is worth it." He said with a bitter smile and started moving towards Wendy.

"Grandeeney… if you can hear me then come out."

There was no response from the Dragon within Wendy.

Shun rolled his eyes at this and spoke, "I should have expected this. These dragons seem to like sleeping too much."

Wilson was confused at all this as he asked Shun, "Are you alright, Shun? You are sure you aren't going crazy with all that is going on? Where do you see this person named Grandeeney? And where is it sleeping?"

Wilson's questions remained unanswered as Shun's Azure Flames entered within Wendy's body. Shun seemed extra cautious to not harm Wendy. She was his first bond here in the world. Even before Mirajane. To him, Mira was initially just a friend.

His first bond was with Wendy as his little sister.

"Now… I do not wish to hurt someone dear to my little sister, but you leave me no choice. Get out before it becomes painful for you."

He practically ordered Grandeeney.

"Hey! What are you doing! Those flames could hurt Wendy! Keep them away from her, you idiot."

"Will you shut it for some moments? I am trying to concentrate here. You will soon know what this is all for."

This time, it was as if his Flames conveyed those orders straight to Grandeeney and she opened her eyes.

She was surprised to see a Blue flame in front of her. It seemed to be surrounding her from all directions.
