Ch.48 1 year and ten months later

"It's been a while since you've been on jobs. Some of your magics are falling behind. You should go and train on jobs for the next year or two. Come back once every two weeks for your clinic and try to at least bring all of your magic to the S-rank level." Said the master as he retook his mug.

"We have recently received an S-rank job requests from the magic council and various kingdoms. It seems that the dark guilds are getting more and more active, and kidnappings are occurring in every kingdom. The kidnapping includes both young and old people, and they are either sold as slaves or experimented on." Continued the master as he gave a quick look at Jax, whose face was becoming colder and colder as he remembered the experiments he had been a part of when he was younger.

"Finally, some weaker dark guilds have received job requests to get your bracelets at any costs. It also made more dark guilds active. Laxus has been using this opportunity to take care of the weaker dark guilds with his thunder legion, but the stronger ones will be left to you and the S-rank mages in other guilds."

"The magic council has created a special job request for this which is to take down as much dark guild as possible. For every S-rank dark mage taken down, the mage will receive a million Jewel plus their bounty. For every A-rank mage taken down, the magic council will pay 100,000 Jewels plus their bounties. For every mage under the A-rank, you will receive their bounties plus 10,000 Jewels. They can be caught alive or dead, at this point, it doesn't matter to the council. They only ask that you call them once you finish taking care of them. They will collect the corpses or living mage and information in their base. Well, that's that. The magic council has sent information on the location of a few dark guilds and will update us whenever they get more news." Finished the master as he looked at Jax intently.

"Understood, I'll take this job. It should also allow me to improve my magic rapidly." Answered Jax darkly as he took all the guild's information and a communication lacrima and left the guild building.

--- 1 year + 10 months timeskip (yeah again)

"It's already been one year and ten months since I've started the dark guild job. I don't even remember how many guilds I took down or how many dark mages I've taken care of. Luckily, it seems that the dark guilds are truly becoming scarcer as dozens of guilds are searching for them to destroy them."

"I should soon return to Fairy Tail. In the beginning, I continued to come back every two weeks for the clinic, but since last year I don't have the time for that. It's been a bit more than a year since I've been at the guild. I wonder how everyone's doing. Right! Now that I think about it, it was my birthday last month. I completely forgot! I should be twelve years old now."

"Alright, let's return to Fairy Tail." Decided the muscular young man. He had pale blue eyes, long silver hair reaching the middle of his back with a scar on his left eye, which added to his charm. With him being 5 foot 6 tall, he looked a bit older for his age.

Using his nature magic to sense the life force around him, he concluded that he had taken care of every dark mage in this dark guild. Next to him were two unconscious S-rank dark mages, as this guild was undoubtedly one of the strongest dark guilds.

Luckily, four months after he started hunting down dark guilds, he had managed to install the third pearl on all of his magic, making him an S-rank mage in all ten of his magical powers. Moreover, following the year and six months of constant fighting, he managed to increase the magic power in his grooves. His magics were now about half full after all of this time. He figured that if he continued to work hard on his magic, he would install the fourth pearls in about two years. Moreover, by filling the fourth groove, he got closer to the weakest of the ten wizard saints. The reason he knew that, was that he felt he was already getting closer to the strength of the master.

However, as he used his nature magic to sense the life force of the people around him, he managed to catch an extremely weak life-force near the ocean. Having called the magic council to round them up, he tied them up immediately and left towards the weak life signal he perceived.

As he arrived close to the shore, he saw a stranded wooden boat with a red-haired young girl inside it, unconscious. As he looked up, he saw that the ocean was agitated and with the wind and rain, it was a miracle that she managed to reach the shore.

Approaching the girl, he was surprised when he saw that she was still awake despite her body's declining life-force, meaning that she was significantly injured and should be unconscious.

"Do you need help?" Asked Jax as he looked straight into her eyes. Of course, he only asked to be polite since even if she said no, he would help. He didn't want the girl to die after managing to get through this.

Seeing her keep silent, he took this as an affirmation as he approached her while she tried to distance herself from him as she summoned a sword and pointed it at him. "I d-don't need h-help." She said in a weak voice.

"At this point, you're going to die. You're bleeding from your abdomen, and you will surely get cold due to the rain and wind. If I don't help you, you'll die within an hour." Explained Jax in the softest voice, he could muster.

"W-were will you b-bring me? I-I don't want to g-g-go b-back there." She said while shivering due to the cold and the fear.

"Here." He answered as he created a small wooden house with his nature magic in an instant right next to the small boat. He opened the door and started a small fire in the place as he showed it to her.

Seeing the house and fire which appeared out of nowhere, she was stunned. However, the warmth could reach her as she dropped her sword. Jax then came closer and noticed that she was unconscious. Using his magic to lift her, he brought her into the small wooden cabin and took out a table to treat her. Seeing her clothes which were soaked, dirty and completely torn up, he took them off as he needed to heal her. She was bleeding from the abdomen, and the girl had a piece of metal stuck in the wound.

He first started his fairy magic as he slowly treated her wound as he took out the piece of metal which had ruptured one of her lungs. After the minor treatment, he washed her rapidly with some warm water to clean her and dried her before bringing out a bed and tucking her in. At the same time, he took out a dress he had purchased a few weeks back as a gift for Cana and left it by the side of the bed as he prepared some food for both him and the red-haired girl who would wake up at any moments.

Thanks to him strengthening his fairy magic, he could now inject life force into others to recover faster. And indeed, not twenty minutes later, the girl opened her eyes slowly as she looked at the utterly unfamiliar ceiling.

As she was slowly getting her bearings back, Jax spoke from the small cabin. "Are you awake? Put on the dress next to you and come here to eat. From your figure, it seems you haven't eaten for quite a while."

As he spoke, an alluring smell came from the food Jax had just put on the table. However, as she remembered his words, her cheeks heated up as she took the covers to hide her body and gave a quick look at the dress that was next to her. "Why did you do to me?" She asked as slight tears started coming from her left eye.

Seeing her react this way, Jax understood her concern immediately. "Your clothes were dirty, wet and torn up already. Moreover, you had a piece of metal stuck in your lungs which stopped you from breathing properly. After you fell unconscious, I brought you in, healed you and tucked you into bed. What do you think happened?" Asked Jax with a smile on his face as he teased her slightly.

With a still red face, the girl looked at her body and noticed that the wound that hurt the most was now completely healed and sighed in relief.

"Put on your dress and come to eat." Said Jax once again as she saw her in a daze.

"Ha, alright! C-Can you turn around?" She asked a little shyly. She was completely taken aback by his words and couldn't even keep the cold exterior she wanted to show in front of others.

"What are you shy about? I've already seen you in your underwear once." Teased Jax again. However, he still turned around and showed his back to the girl as she sighed in relief despite the red hue on her cheeks. She then rapidly used her Requip magic to put on the dress.

"Alright, I'm done." Said the girl as Jax turned around again.

"Indeed, you look pretty in that dress." Smiled Jax as he gave her a bit of confidence as she walked to the table and sat down to eat.

"So? What's your name?" Asked Jax as the girl started to eat.

"My name is Erza, Erza Scarlet." She replied slowly.

---Author note

The MC will be strong from the beginning of the plot since from the moment Natsu meets Lucy and they are attacked by Acknologia, only six months passes. After the seven year time skip (which I don't know if I use) there is about one year and a half and then they change from A rank mages until they can basically beat a spriggan member the 2-5 top wizard saint couldn't even touch...

And once again, no pervs. He treated Erza has a doctor towards his patient not to see her body like a perv.
