Crossing between cities was not so simple, but when it was a mission of a guild, then there would not be many problems, especially when it was from a guild with prestige.
Akashi could already understand why Sinbad recommended him to join a guild, so it was easier to act.
Sinbad told him that his goal was in Veronica's kingdom.
That's why Akashi is looking for a mission in that country.
For Akashi's fate, he found a low-level mission, which was not done just because Veronica was too far away taking pay into account.
But when Akashi was ready to leave he was stopped by Erza.
At the beginning Erza forbade Akashi to take a mission.
"It's just a simple mission, I do not plan to do anything dangerous" (Akashi)
"If you only want to do a mission, then you can do them in this city, if they seem very boring forma you, I can accompany you" (Erza)
Akashi did not seem to get anywhere, so he decided to use a little strength.
"Then let's do something simple, let's have a duel, if I can defeat you then I can take the mission I want, and if I lose you can ask for whatever you want" (Akashi)
Erza's spirits rose, this was a good opportunity to correct Akashi, the last thing Erza wants is for Akashi to lose his life because he does not know how difficult the world is.
"I accept, but if I win, then you can only accept missions that I authorize, and it will be valid until you become a magician of rank S" (Erza)
"It's fine with me" (Akashi)
.................. ..
Erza would not underestimate Akashi, cuz can not use magic, something she said Akashi would not be easy.
This small dispute drew the attention of the membersof the guild
But this was very common in the guild, so the adults were not very interested.
But two little wizards followed Erza and Akashi.
Erza had not joined long ago, and as she always had a melancholy aura, it was very difficult to get close to her.
Akashi only had one day to join the guild, so they did not know him , so he woke up the curiosity of two littlemagicians who were just at that moment.
One was a boy with spiky black hair with dark blue eyes, whose peculiarity is that he only wore shorts.
Beside her was a beautiful girl with dark brown hair , and like her eyes , who seemed very interested in this fight.
There are very few things to do since none of those children could do a mission, so these things were a good distraction.
Once outside, it looked like a sword in Erza's hand.
"Take out your sword" Erza's behavior had a radical change when she was ready for a fight.
Akashi was about to draw his sword, but when he remembered that he could not control it he changed his plan.
"In that ring there should be some swords, use them to your liking" Sinbad was lying down as he prepared to watch the fight.
Akashi look inside the ring, and as Sinbad said, had a variety of swords, plus any kind of weapon Akashi could imagine, but they were so gaudy and ostentatious, so that it would bring problems to Akashi.
So Akashi decided to just use his fists.
Erza felt insulted, seeing Akashi while only raising his fists, that put her in a bad mood, so she decided to teach her a good lesson.
"Do not blame me later" (Erza)
The sword in Erza's hand had no edge, so it only served to hit, but it would leave quite serious bruises.
The first to attack was Erza, his speed exceeded many adults, making it a difficult opponent for most.
But in Akashi's eyes it is quite slow.
Erza's first attack only happened on one side of Akashi, but it raised a gust of wind that showed the power of that blow.
Seeing that Akashi could dodge that blow, Erza would no longer hold back, that's why immediately another sword appeared in Erza's hand to complete her attack.
Sinbad was very satisfied with Erza, when he lived, only the Fanalis (Tribe of Morgiana ) could have that strength at that age, Sinbad had a very bad time when underestimating one in a fight.
But while she can not give a goal , then it did not help much, Sinbad already knew the result, so he lost a little interest, but not without thinking that little Erza would have been a disciple stronger than Akashi.
Akashi felt that Sinbad had just insulted him, but worrying about that in the battle would be fatal.
That's why he calmed down while dodging Erza's blows.
Y Although Akashi's face was calm, inside he was sweating cold.
(I do not imagine getting to have that strength in a normal situation) Akashi thought.
At last Akashi realized how lucky he was to meet Sinbad, so he decided not to disappoint his sensei.
The two little ones looking from the side were surprised by that fight, Erza's strength surprised them, but Akashi's ability to dodge all those attacks impressed them.
His only thought was to increase his training so as not to be left behind.
..................
After 10 minutes Erza's breathing was very heavy, during that time Erza attacked with everything she had, but she could never hit Akashi.
"Now my turn"
Akashi approached and with only a small push, Erza fell to the ground.
Akashi was practicing the observation Haki for more than a year , so he already had a primary domain , so Akashi has the advantage in a melee, as long as his rival is not much superior to him in physical prowess.

Erza POV
My name is Erza Scarlet .
I was nine years old when my best friend Akashi gave his life to save me from a tragic death.
After that I was very depressed, if it were not for Kagura and Simon who supported me during that time I do not know what would have happened to me , although I knew that Kagura was equally or sadder than me, I could only smile to not make her worry anymore.
But things worsened shortly, as mysterious men attacked our town.
The last thing I could do was hide Kagura , but my luck ended there, since I was captured and sent to a strange place.
I have good memories, and very sad memories of that place.
And there is a great shadow that I will have to face sooner or later.
But I did not want to think about that at the moment, because after leaving that place, I joined Fairy Tail.
But even in my biggest dreams, I thought I would find one of my greatest friends there.
When I saw him he had strange clothes, and his look was completely different.
(Although Akashi's look was always scary) Erza remembered.
But I did not care, so when I realized, I was already giving him a big hug.
After that I m talking about many things, but did not want to worry him with my problems, so I did not say much to me, he had already given his life for me, so he could not run another danger.
That's why I swore I would protect him, so I invited him to live with me, but I never expected him to disappear after asking that question.
That made me sad, but do not press it, so I decided to watch it from afar.
But after a while I started to worry, Akashi started talking to himself, at first I did not give importance, but this continued throughout the afternoon.
* Akashi did not notice it , since Erza did not have any bad intentions * (Author)
* Sinbad noticed it, but he thought it was funny, so he did not say anything * (Author)
I started worrying about my friend's mental health, so I decided to keep an eye on him.
But never expect that the next day, Akashi would take a mission that would take him to another kingdom.
I denied it immediately, I could not allow him to do something so dangerous.
But that insistent boy challenged me to a duel to decide.
And when I heard your idea about a bet , it seemed like a good time to correct it.
According to the master, I have great talent for magic, and my reserves of magic are really great for my age, not to mention that I am very easy to use the sword, so I had enough confidence in myself .
Although I saw that Akashi also had a sword, I also know that he could not use magic, so I thought he would win without much trouble.
He never expected that he would be defeated so easily.
.........................
POV third person.
Erza had kept her word, so she did not get in the way of Akashi.
But Akashi could not do anything when Erza joined the mission.
Master Makarov was against Akashi making such a trip alone, so when Erza joined he gave Makarov a little more peace.
Especially when he saw the smile on Erza's face, so Makarov authorized that mission, anyway it was a very simple mission, so he only took it as a gift for those little friends who had just met.
And now Akashi and Erza were on a train to their destination.
Obviously there was Sinbad, but he was far away, saying he would not destroy his time alone.
But Akashi was more concerned in the way of telling Erza, that his goal could be a completely different place.
Akashi lamented that it would be a simple mission, since he had the support of Sinbad.
Sinbad did not tell Akashi many details, he said that just telling him the place was already breaking many of his rules.
So everything will depend on Akashi this time.
But Akashi's thoughts were interrupted by Erza's words.
"Really beautiful" (Erza)
Since Erza was reunited with Akashi, her mood immediately rose, she had forgotten about her eye, so she could enjoy her little trip.
Akashi's mood was also very good, seeing Erza enjoying this trip put him in a good mood , so he decided to do some things before beginning his mission.
