Chapter 21: Day Break (1)
Chapter 21: Day Break (1)
~Silva POV~
[July 4, X784]
*Thud*
Stepping down in front of the guild I managed to enter inside acting confused as everyone was being cheerful missing out on the talks about having Magic faith or something.
But shaking my head I took a look around the guild seeing they are returning to normal with everyone parting as I got closer to the request board near the bar.
That was when I caught my eyes on Lucy Heartfilia talking to Mirajane as Natsu talked to the rest of the members.
Lucy has brown eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair that is usually tied by ribbons in a variety of colors in a small ponytail to the right side of her head with the rest of the hair loose. Her pink Fairy Tail stamp is located on the back of her right hand.
Additionally, Lucy does not consistently wear the same outfit. However, she always has a belt that, along with keeping her skirt up, holds her Celestial Spirit keys and a whip with a heart-shaped end. She often wears black, leather high-heeled boots. She also bears a striking resemblance to her mother.
It must be that Heartfilia genes giving her the good looks.
But ignoring that for now I decided to check her out using <Observe> to see if I can get more info since I managed to see Mavis's info.
<Observe>.
[<Observe> LEVEL UP!]
[Lucy Hearfilia Lv.? Fairy Tail Wizard
Description: Lucy Heartfilia is a Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild. Lucy takes exceptional pride in her appearance and is very confident in her sex appeal, often exuding a certain amount of vanity. Despite this superficial attitude, she is a clever, kind, and genuinely caring person. Lucy is passionate about literature and is in the process of writing her own novel about her adventures with Fairy Tail although she does not like telling anyone about it.
She is a member of the Heartfilia family, once one of the wealthiest and most influential conglomerate families in the country of Fiore. However, due to her estranged relationship with her father and the death of her mother, Layla Heartfilia, she left home to follow her own path, which displays an ambition for independence.]
Too much.
Too much info I got from one glance as I turn my attention towards the request board I then look at Natsu coming close getting a closer look at the man.
Natsu is a lean, muscular young man of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, spiky pink-colored hair, and abnormally sharp canines; Natsu's main outfit consists of a sleeveless, gold trimmed, black waistcoat, often left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest, a gold-trimmed, black cloth around his waist that reaches his knees, held by a leather brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle, white knee-length trousers with black ribbon ties, a thick black wristband on his left wrist, black open-toed sandals and the scale-patterned scarf he received from his adoptive father, Igneel.
<Observe>.
[Etherious Natsu Dragneel Lv.? Fire Dragon Slayer
Description: Natsu Dragneel is a Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild, wherein he is a member of Team Natsu. He is the younger brother of Zeref Dragneel, having originally died 400 years ago, being subsequently revived as his brother's most powerful Etherious: E.N.D. Natsu is also among the five Dragon Slayers sent to the future from four hundred years past, having an additional purpose in the assistance to defeat of Acnologia.]
Accurate enough.
That was when Natsu began to look at me before he talks with me with a grin on his face, "Nice to meet yah! Are you new to the guild?"
Somehow sensing dread I replied being a bit respectful in a curious tone, "Yeah. I joined a few days ago and you are…"
Natsu grins placing his thumb at himself jabbing with fire ignited from his thumb, "Natsu! You must be strong right!"
Strong is a strong word…
That was when I finally noticed Mavis finally appeared taking a peek as I replied to him, "Strong sure. Although I don't know how I stack up to you?"
*Rumble*
He grins igniting his fist to start up another brawl but not before he stopped as the sounds of grumbles from his stomach were made as he expressed a sheepish smile on his face, "Whoops? Seems like my stomach is growling after my complete victory! Happy come on let's see what's on the board!"
That was when I see a blue flying cat with a green bag as he joins Natsu, "Aye sir! Nice to meet you, newbie I'm Happy!"
And like that, they went to the request board I couldn't help but sigh at this but followed along since I need the job as well.
Here's hoping if I do request I can gain EXP otherwise a wolf population might meet a decline if that's not the case...
Going over my eyes landed on one I needed to get permission to join Erza for the next arc as it's equally as crucial for me to achieve.

----
That's what it was written on the Request board as I decided to test my luck on this changing fate directly.
And as I did so I saw a pop-up screen of my own giving me details of the Quest written down as I couldn't help but smirk at this.
[Ding!]
[Quest is generated!]
----

My eyes widen a bit seeing this as I couldn't help but smirk on this since I know I won't get any actual payment the best I can get is the items, stats, and experience out of this exchange. So, I immediately pressed accept button.
Then that means I can get EXP this way without resorting to killing off animals. That's good to know.
Considering I'm gonna need either Lucy or Levy's help on the matter because it needs to be involved with people who can use Letter Magic. Of course, there's the option of using Mavis but I doubt she would want but more so because she's a ghost.
And we just met but can't help but speak out right?
But then again though…
In the end, it never really mattered right in the end?
All I need really is recognition from Erza handling the issue and reporting over the news I really don't have to add anybody else along.
That and I REALLY want that Virgo key. I mean it's like having a literal Maid at the ready for Christ's sake.
It's the dream of any man to obtain such a dream of acquiring such a busty maid ready to serve at the beck and call.
And yet…
I could only frown thinking about it seeing this would mess with canon and other things by changing things…
No matter.
Shaking my head, I have to get stronger for myself in the future, and besides I already ruined that part of keeping canon by helping Macao just got to pull through with the punches of the Butterfly Effect.
Determined I decided as I went towards Mirajane as I told her about the request getting her attention, "Hey Mirajane I'll be taking this quest. Can you get it approved for it through the client?"
She nods her head as Lucy took her eyes on me as she questioned me being new thanks to Natsu's comment, "Hey you're new to Fairy Tail right? Guess you're like me then I just got entered here."
Turning my head towards Lucy I smiled at her and nodded congratulating the girl with a grin on my face, "Yeah. Congrats on joining guess I won't be the only newbie here. The name is Silva Knight, and you miss?"
Lucy blinks a bit but smiles replying to me as she introduces herself as we both talked, "Lucy. Nice to meet you Silva going on your first quest?"
I nodded in agreement and questioned if she was going to take a job as well, "Yup! I want to make sure I got this right. Plus are you going to take your first mission as well?"
To my surprise Lucy shook her head as she explained to me, she was searching for a place to live around Magnolia Town, "Not yet. I have to find a place first before I go anywhere. A girl got to have a place to stay right?"
Shrugging at this I might as well help her out pointing out the place she originally lived getting her attention, "Ok. Best of luck to you then. Also, a piece of advice I heard of an open place near the shopping district that has a rent room for 70,000J a month. Good place sadly I didn't have enough to afford."
Lucy mumbles a bit before thanking me for the information just as Mirajane comes back informing the client, "A place around the shopping district huh? Thanks for the info Silva I'll be sure to look around after I ask Mirajane for some more info. Hope you have good luck on your first mission!"
Thanking her I turned around to leave just in time to see Natsu leave taking a job subduing a thief. I just changed the fate of Fairy Tail as I know it but then again though it really doesn't matter at the end of the day as long as I get powerful or one of the MCs strong enough to take care of Acnologia.
There a reason why I had to take this one is that I needed recognition for me to register to be part of Erza's team in the near future when the events of the Eisenwald Guild happen she let Lucy join because she valued her defeating the bodyguards or by beating up Virgo in her ugly state by Everlue.
Since I'm trying to take the credit here in this case it was best, I settle get the efforts to get Erza to recognize me to join so that I can gain more EXP from the mobs when I attack them and level up in the process.
Of course, I could also go, the healing route to support them but would I get stronger just by standing on the sidelines.
No.
Possibly at times but not enough where I would stand a good chance in the future. That and I could possibly ruin some plot points early on just to ensure victory for me to handle but enough struggle for me to grow.
After all, I need the grind.
