Introductions
As the Guild Stamps are worn, Fairy Tail went into party frenzy mode. Naruto is the one whom they are celebrating the party for and so had been the centre of an attraction along with Sirius.
"You there newbie, what's your name," asked a pink-haired boy who smelt like fire. When he smelled closely, Naruto found him to be a Dragon Slayer and the attack he used just confirmed it. Instead of getting all emotional on finding his brethren, he kept a 'cool' face much like how Sasuke does and answered the question.
"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki. What's yours" asked Naruto. Sirius can see the gears turning in Naruto's mind. 'What are you thinking, Papa' thought Sirius to himself.
'Don't worry, Siri. It is nothing bad. The pink-haired boy is a Dragon Slayer. I can smell it. When I look at him closely, there appears to be a fight between 2 different things entirely. What they are, I don't know. I am just thinking about it and he reminds me a lot of myself when I was back there' said Naruto through telepathy. He had this connection with Sirius, to speak through Minds which they discovered when Aldoron taught him 'That'. It is a very nifty ability to have if you are in a sticky situation and can't talk to each other normally.
"You look strong, and Gildarts never brought any member to Fairy Tail. You must be strong then" said Natsu with a toothy smile and suddenly exclaimed. "Fight me" Natsu yelled the last part and charged towards the blonde.
"Wait, you moron. He just joined our guild. Don't go charging on him on his first day" yelled Gray but missed his clothes.
"Gray, your clothes," said Cana in resignation. She would always remind Gray of his modesty, which in year's of her experience, he didn't care much but tries to keep his dignity.
"Damn, I lost them again" Gray groaned and searched for them.
As Natsu charged towards Naruto with a fiery fist, Naruto just smacked him on the hand which created so much momentum that threw him in the direction of a cloth searching Gray and they both crashed into each other.
"Ouch, what's that flame brain. You are supposed to fight the new guy, not me" yelled Gray at the pink-haired boy.
"What did you say, you stripper, I'm fighting him but you interrupted it by bumping into me," said Natsu and soon they both headbutted and had a vein popping on their faces.
"Calm down, guys. The matter is-" Naruto was interrupted by the 2 boys turning towards him with a murderous expression on their faces.
"Shut it, blondie," said Natsu.
"Mind your business. Don't interrupt us" said Gray. But suddenly, they felt a chill run down their spine. They slowly turned around to see Erza smiling at them darkly, a vein polling on her face as well.
"You have to go and fight the new member on his first day," said Erza adjusting her hand to punch them and tried to as well.
"I don't think that is required" came the voice of the blonde in question. He stopped Erza's fist with one hand.
"Out of my way. I must discipline them" she shouted and tried to punch him with her other hand. And what she obviously forgot is that she is now doing the same thing Natsu with did Naruto. Fight him.
Her fist was caught and both her hands were twisted to a 45-degree angle, causing her pain, not much, but enough to push Naruto's point across. He loosened his grip around her hand and she stretched them to get a feel in them again.
"Fine, I'll stop" she gave in. The look she saw in the blondes is terrifying. His eyes shown with intent to injure her if need be. She didn't want to cause a scene on his first day.
"Thanks," said the blonde with a smile.
"But you two are not off the hook yet," said Erza turning to Natsu and Gray who started to jump in joy for their near escape of a beating.
"Damn," said Natsu.
"You can say that again," said Gray.
"I think we didn't introduce well. My name is Naruto Uzumaki and this is my friend Sirius" said Naruto to both Ice and Fire mages.
"Ya, I'm Natsu Dragneel, Son of Igneel, the Fire Dragon King," said Natsu proudly.
"Oh, this is Happy" he continued as he pointed towards the blue cat standing to the side.
"Nice to meet you, Natsu, Happy," said Naruto and shook hands with Natsu and nodded to happy. While Sirius sat beside Naruto threw them a lazy salute.
"My name is Gray, Gray Fulbuster. I use Ice-Make magic" said Gray making a small Fairy Tail symbol out of Ice. A brunette who is listening to the conversation stepped in and introduced herself as well.
"Hi, my name is Cana Alberona. I use Card Magic" she said showing some of her cards. Naruto nodded and soon introductions went on. A white-haired girl stepped in and introduced herself as well and soon, a blue-haired girl and 2 boys along with her and a white-haired boy and so on. Naruto remembered all their names and at last, a tomboyish girl in a skimpy one-piece black dress stepped forward and moved towards the blonde.
"You there, aren't you the one who stopped that bitch's punch. You are strong" she said gesturing to a cake-eating Erza when she said 'that bitch'. Although the redhead got a tick mark, she calmed herself and ate the cake she had in front of her.
"I am Mira. But don't try it with me, I'm not going to spare you" she said and went back to her siblings. Everyone got a sweat drop. They thought Mira is going to fight him and they can bet on it or something along the lines. Naruto didn't care much to pursue her. Everything went back to normal and they continued the party.
Meanwhile
We see an elderly man and a middle-aged man talking on a bar table side to all the chaos that is going on in the guild.
"So you are telling me he is at least A-class," said Makarov Dreyar, 3rd Guild Master of Fairy Tail.
"Yes, Master. I'm sure he can prove himself if you give him the chance and you know well what time of the year it is" said Gildarts, which Makarov knew.
"Are you suggesting his name to them? You know they are very dangerous" said Makarov.
"I have fought him, Master. I knew his strength well. Just give him the chance and I assure you, he will prove himself to you" said Gildarts.
"Ok, I'll consider it based on the missions he takes and we'll see it from there," said Makarov.
"That's what I ask. Thanks, old man. I'll go and explain to him how the guild works" said Gildarts and made his way to Naruto who was sitting on a stool and talking to a meek Elfman.
"Hey, kid," said Gildarts and Naruto turned to his introducer.
"How is the Guild, do you like it," asked Gildarts.
"Yes. It has all things I wanted" said Naruto excitedly.
"Say, what do you know about Guilds in general," asked Gildarts at which point Elfman walked back to his siblings and Natsu and Gray started fighting.
"Well, I know that Mages come together in a Guild and take up Job requests and rewarded for those requests," said Naruto from what he could remember.
"One of the reasons why guilds are popular is because they provide jobs to their members. Most jobs are only available at mage guilds like Fairy Tail because most jobs are too difficult for any normal person to handle.
Most payments are done in Jewels, the currency which has different types which vary from country to country. Though the currency name is the same, it doesn't mean the value is the same. It may differ. Back on jobs.
Jobs have different rewards based on the difficulty of the job. Most bulletins have information on what is needed to be done as well as the equivalent reward. One can opt to do simple tasks, like helping out townsfolk or escorting cargo, to more difficult tasks of finding relics and journeying to mysterious lands.
There are five types of jobs available in a guild. They are Normal Jobs that may vary based on the reward, S-Class Jobs, SS-Class Jobs, 10 Year Jobs 100 Year Jobs.
The jobs available all depend on the type of ranking you have within the guild. While normal jobs are available for all members, the most difficult ones are reserved for S-Class Mages. S-Class Jobs are those typically done by an S-Class mage. You will not see these types of jobs posted on regular boards as most members will not be able to do them anyway. They are often posted on a different location in our guild like the second floor of Fairy Tail. SS-Class jobs pose more risk and are therefore strictly available for S-Class mages only.
10 and 100-year jobs are trickier and are reserved for elite mages. Frankly speaking, I myself didn't complete a 100-year-old job yet" said Gildarts. Naruto was amazed. In the Shinobi World, he heard only up to S-Rank at most and SS-Rank in case of some extremely rare cases. But this world seems to have even more dangerous jobs than that. 'Well, I think joining Guild has its perks' thought Naruto.
"Ok, Old Man. I understand. As I'm not an S-class Mage yet, I'm not permitted to take them, right" said Naruto. Gildarts had a smile on his face after hearing that.
"Exactly. You are not even allowed to enter the second floor" he said and Naruto nodded.
"Well, it is late and I want to take some rest, see ya soon, kid. I hope you bring some good name to me by doing well on your jobs if you take any" said Gildarts winking at Naruto. Naruto got the massage.
"Yup, I'll do it," said Naruto with a smile.
"Then have a good night," said Gildarts and went off.
"Hey, newbie, you don't have a home to go for the night, right," asked Natsu.
"Ya, but I thought renting in an Inn or Hotel. Tomorrow, I'm gonna find a home" said Naruto to the Pinkett.
"I thought of offering to stay at my place, but you seem to have a plan," said Natsu and Gray cut in.
"What, you want him to stay in that broken igloo, I guess he is lucky he had a plan. I don't want to think what he will think after that stay about the Guild" said Gray.
"What did you say, stripper," said Natsu, fire burning on his face.
"Didn't your dead brain cells hear it, I said you would have killed the guy in that 'house' of yours?" said Gray, ice forming in his hand.
"Cut it out" came the voice of Erza. Both of them jumped back, hearing her voice.
"Yes, ma'am," they both said and she came to them.
"Good night," said Erza and left the Guild.
Soon everyone followed and Naruto found a comfortable Inn and spent the night there with Sirius and him eating a few of the rare Ramen varieties they had.
"How do you feel, Siri," asked Naruto.
"They are good, though a bunch of loudmouths, yes, but they seem friendly and looks like accepted you easily," said Sirius.
"Though the blue cat seems to disagree with you," said Naruto with a smile.
"Ya, that moron thinks fish is more delicious than Ramen," said Sirius, hurt clearly visible in his eyes.
"You can say that again. Ramen is the food of Gods" exclaimed Naruto and they both went back to sleep for the night.
