Dealing with Fire and Ice
Next Day, Fairy Tail Guild Hall
Naruto directly teleported to Magnolia and slept in his new house. As the day passed, he came to the guildhall in a lazy stroll. He saw everyone what he dubbed to be their regular positions and saw Erza missing.
'She might have gone on a Job' thought Naruto. He went to the bar table to greet the master and tell him about his mission.
"Ah, Naruto. I see you have completed that job already. How did it go" asked Makarov in a jovial mood?
"Nothing bad, they are easy, I guess" replied Naruto.
"How do you feel about it, Sirius"
"Good. Finally, I can do jobs and I test my magic on someone" said with a cat-like smile on his face.
"I can't fault you I guess," said Makarov.
"Can you report what happened?" asked Makarov in a stern tone. Understanding this is like some kind of Mission debriefing in the Shinobi World, Naruto took Makarov through all the 3 jobs he went to and explained them in as much detail as possible.
"Are you telling me the Dawn town job is S-class misranked because of their lack of funds?" asked Makarov incredulously. He knew sometimes things like this happen, but to misrank, an S-class job is not often. And Naruto dealt with it shows his strength as a mage.
'To fight an S-class mage without backup and a person like black skull is not easy. I don't think any non-experienced mages can handle him' thought Makarov. He remembered what Gildarts said about the kid. 'Seems like you are correct in bringing him to our Guild, Gildarts' thought the Old Master.
"It warms my heart to know that you came unharmed from an S-class job my child, but next time if something like this happens, I want you to contact me first. I don't want you to risk your life for a job" said Makarov concerned and sternly at the same time.
"Think about what could have happened to little Sirius. What I am saying is, don't risk your life like that, son" said Makarov. Generally, he won't admonish his children this much, even Natsu for all the destruction he causes. But when he saw Naruto, he got this feeling that this blonde is going to be even more trouble than the Pinkett could ever be. You can say he is following his gut. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to the new children he got on their first jobs. He got the same feeling he got 2 years ago about even more chaos and destruction.
Naruto internally smiled. 'It is perfect. The concern and fear for my life in the Old Man's eyes are unmistakable. Seems like I chose right' thought Naruto.
'Yes, Papa. You chose right. I saw that affection towards you only in that lizarts eyes' came the voice of Sirius.
'You are correct, Siri. Let's celebrate tonight on this occasion of finding the perfect Guild' said Naruto and Sirius mentally cheered.
"You have done well, my children. You can go now. If you find any job interesting, you can take them" said Makarov with a smile. Naruto and Sirius walked up to the request and went through all the job requests. He knew well that whatever request Naruto choose, it is going be dangerous. The blonde boy had a knack for it. He sat there, drinking his booze.
'Seems like Gildarts is right regarding his strength. Hmm, I don't want to stop such potential, yet I don't want throw him straight into S-class tests as they get dangerous. What to do, what to do' thought Makarov, scheming a plan to test the blonde boy.
He went through the current S-class requests which are on the dangerous end of things. He wanted to test Naruto one last time before pulling out the big guns. 'Hmm, A Dark Guild Extermination mission. It would be tough considering the number of mages they must deal with to exterminate them. From the reports, they are not that strong bunch. No, I want to test his intellect and nature. Hmm, this would be interesting' said Makarov and took a flyer out. On the Flyer was a big Unofficial stamp.
The Magic Council is made up of 10 members who do things rather shady. They take down what they deem a threat with no qualms and does whatever they seem fit. They give all the jobs to the Guilds and it consists of both Official and Unofficial jobs.
The current Job Makarov has is one such Unofficial Job that the Magic Council will deny they ever gave it. The job is an Espionage mission into the base of possible threats perceived by the Magic Council. They don't know what was happening there but knew this much that is not is nothing good.
'This is a dangerous mission and need more intellect than the power to come unharmed. Let's test him with this' thought Makarov and called Naruto to give the mission. What left unsaid is that he is going to follow the boy to make sure everything goes according to plan and to make sure Naruto is safe.
Naruto took the mission with a megawatt smile. His smile is contagious and Makarov smiled as well.
"Did you find something interesting on it, Naruto?" asked Makarov.
"No, Gramps. I think these kinds of missions suit me well, that's it. See ya" said and Naruto and went out of the Guild. He started walking towards the door when he felt eyes on him and saw a pair of eyes looking at him from the second-floor balcony.
He looked straight into those without flinching and there was a moment of a cold war between them. Naruto didn't budge not did the blonde guy on the second floor. After a second, he turned away with 'Hn' and Naruto smirked and made his way to the railway station.
"What is it all about," asked Sirius, confused. he didn't have much interaction with Humans other than his father. He doesn't know all their behaviour much yet.
"Nothing, it is just an assessment. He is assessing me and so I showed him my resolve" said Naruto and Sirius sighed. If you ask him his honest opinion about Humans he is going to say they are Crazy.
