Trust Worthy

"Alright, let me go up." Ling Han said calmly, making Ji Ning and the others throw dead plan look towards him. seeing this Ling Han sighed softly, before sitting down. he had his turn, it was their turn. The 4 all wanted to go this time, so they had a small game of rock-paper-scissors

Astaria was the winner, and so she went down to play today's games. it was called Hunt. Pretty much, all 8 of the people picked to take part in the game would enter a tower and hunt monsters.

there were 3 types of monsters, green monsters which gave a point of 1, yellow which gave a point of 3, and Red which gave a point of 10. there are a lot of monsters, and the person who collects the most points within 30 minutes will win. you could also attack each other, and steal half of someone else points by defeating them.

"I have no interest in losing," Astaria said while looking at Gray From Fairy Tail Team A. He was a black-haired man who liked to undress. this was because of the way he learned his magic, undressing in the cold to learn Ice-Make Magic.

"Same here," Gray said calmly while looking toward Cana. She was a beautiful woman in a bikini. She was in Fairy Tail Team B. Cana nodded back at her, to which Astaria just smiled. She had noticed both Ling Han and Nux showed great interest in this guild. those two knew something, which caught her interest.

they were teleported away, at least thats what it seemed to them. they found themselves appearing on a grassland, which was covered with some trees. Astaria looked around before her eyes landed on a green beast the size of a huge bull. the huge monster looked towards her before it roared and rushed towards her.

Astaria's powers were simple, the Dao she had created was called The Dao Of The Supreme. She seeks to be the strongest, not simply the strongest but the best. se wanted to be like Ling Han and have his overpowered level of energy control, for this she gained a physique a lot like Lue Qing. instead, her physique was to go beyond 100% in mastery of just about everything she put her mind to.

She looked at the incoming monster before her sword moved... while, no one knew if it was her sword, as it happened so fast. but the beast was cut into countless pieces while she walked by it, looking around.

"I didn't even see her move," Erza said in shock while looking at the screen above, she was a skilled swordsman, but what Astaria just did was shocking. Erza would have to rely on instinct to block her attacks.

"haha, prepare to join my guild." Ling Han laughed, making her grit her teeth slightly, but she said nothing. She even ignored this, Mavis said the best way to deal with someone like Ling Han was to ignore them... and it seemed to work as it bugged Ling Han.

Ling Han clicked his tongue and returned to look at the screen above. Astaria went on to search for a red color monster, which was far stronger than the green one. it gave her a good fight, which she used to try and perfect her supreme magic.

it was crazy, but when she was about to kill the red beast, ice came shooting towards her. which she turned to easily cut apart. she looked at Gray who had come to face her and with narrowed eyes, she smirked

"Is this by chance or are want?" She asked mockingly, to which Gray had no time to toy with her. he shot forward, covering the whole land in ice. the red monster took this chance to shoot back, getting out of the death blow, but cards suddenly few from afar, killing it. it was already weakened by Astaria, they just did the finishing blows.

Cana smiled while holding her cards, Astaria's eyes narrowed to a dangerous level as she realized these two plans. they were too weak to fight her, so they were going to ensure that her guild didn't remain in the first place.

"you do know if I defeat you both, it's all over?" She asked coldly before her sword flashed, sending a sword slash that cut through Gray. cutting him in half, but after a moment, his body turned into ice.

Annoyed, she turned towards Cana, but she had disappeared. a vein popped on Astaria's forehead, but she went on to hunt for more beasts. but everything she found was a red monster, which was the only thing she cared to search for, Cana and Gray would pop up, perfect timing to take her kill. She tried to set up traps, but it was as if they could see the future, and bypass them all. they were also not working alone, as Shadow Garden For some reason was helping them.

"She is good to foresee the future like that," I said with a smile, seeing how Cana was reading her cards to find the best way to get to Astaria, while also getting Mavis help. it was interesting... no, it was beautiful 

Luckily for both Gray and Cana, all of this came to an end before Astaria's bloodlust reached a state that she couldn't control. but the bit that leaked out was enough to cause Gray and the others to be unable to near her. It was like a hunting flash, they ran too fast for her to hit them.

in the end, she came in 7th place, which she considered humiliating. then again, she had nothing to be embarrassed about. She was no Ling Han, so she grew quickly, but against their hit-and-run, what could she do?

"no need to be so down. they put aside all pride, to get that win. honestly, even I might have struggled to get a win." I said seeing Astaria who wanted to stab her palm through someone's heart, but hearing my words she calmed down slightly. but Erza and her guild were annoyed, 

Anyway, it was time for the battles. At to start of the match, it was Fairy Tail Team B Gajeel Vs Rogue. it was a battle between Gajeel the Iron Dragon Slayer and Rogue, the Shadow Dragon Slayer.

their battle was something everyone looked forward to watching, but before the match even began, Ling Han had disappeared, taking bids from those who were bidding on the match. the Fairy Tail wizard had a weird look seeing as the bids favored Rogue over Gajeel, which many agree with as Rogue's name was more well-known than Gajeel's. plus, Ling Han was throwing dirt at Gajeel's name, which made many people unsure of his win.

"The jerk," Natsu said in rage while looking at just how many people were bidding for Rogue instead of Gajeel.

"He knows Gajeel would win... he is getting easy money. he also blocks us from speaking with Gajeel," Erza said softly, honestly it was not hard to read Ling Han. while others might hide their character and put up a front, Ling Han didn't brother, making it hard to read him at first, but after understanding him, it was easy.

Ling Han was quick, flashing all over the place collecting everyone's money while giving them a paper. As Gajeel was getting beaten up by Rogue, more and more people were offering to put their money on Rogue, but at some point, Ling Han stopped taking bits and watched as Gajeel quickly stopped playing around, and went on to dominate the match, showing everyone just who he was

"the winner is Gajeel of Fairy Tail!" as the winner was announced, no one cheered. they all looked at Gajeel, before looking towards Ling Han who was busy counting money... they were a scam

"and thats how you make over more than 10 million Jewels," I said while waving towards Erza and the fairy tail guild member who was glaring at me. I had pretty much sealed them in their area, not allowing them to get in the way of me making money.

"oh my, you all can't be in love with me.... wait, it's not for my money? you bad people." I said in shock, and with a hurt look, which annoyed them even more. but after a moment, they looked away, ignoring me.

I shrugged while looking towards the next match, Lamia Scale Lyon vs Team Fairy Tail Gray. I didn't do anything this time, and simply watched as Gray went on to pull off a hard win. after all, he just finished using up most of his magical energy trying to survive Astaria 

after their match was Ren of Blue Pegoues vs Risley of Marmaid Heel. Risley won, using her fat power or whatever... 

the last match was the Infinity Guild Ji Ning VS Alpha. Ji Ning stepped onto the arena, looking at Alpha whose face was hard to see with her dark black clothing, which covered her well.

meanwhile, Ling Han went on to take more dips from people. this time he tried to make it look like Ji Ning would win, and they should all bid for him. The crowd was of course not falling for this time, so they bid for Alpha...

Alpha shot toward Ji Ning, who quickly moved to block the incoming attack, which sent him flying back. Alpha was quick and hard to keep up with. She appeared before Ji Ning, who quickly moved, blocking all of her attacks without much trouble. even attacks he couldn't see, he blocked in the best way possible. something which shocked and confused many people.

"His body moves on its own. we are all masters fighters. we take zero time thinking or hesitating on our next moment, our body just moves, doing everything in the best way possible for us. so you can be faster, but due to her perfectly timed movement, it would look like we are of weak speed." Ling Han said to answer Mavis who was trying to understand what she was seeing.

"Ji Ning is a swordsman, pure and simple. with talent even above your own. the amount of years he had lived is something you can't even begin to understand." I said while counting the money, this time I had put on a displeased look while they bid for Alpha, which made more people bid, with higher bids than before.

"He is currently weaker than Alpha in everything about his swordsmanship... which he is starting over from. So, watch as a real swordsman steps forward." I said as Ji Ning who was unable to stand his ground for the longest and could only block while being sent flying suddenly began trying to counter. his sword moved too quickly, cutting through space and time to pretty much just appear just about anyone at high speed.

Alpha under the speed and power of Ji Ning's sword was quickly forced back, stunning her. She was shocked, she was currently 15 years old, and her strength was so high thanks to being taught by Shadow, a monster. to think there was a day she would bump into something like this.

Ji Ning had done more than study and understand her swordsmanship, he had taken it, broken it down, and put it back together better than ever, this word's swordsmanship was so unique, first Erza and now Alpha.

"This magic thing... is not so complex." Ji Ning said softly, a silver magic circle appearing behind him.

"Swords Magic: Raging Dragon." Ji Ning said while swinging his sword, sending forward a raging dragon that slammed into Alpha, and sent her flying back and slamming her hard into a wall, causing her to cough up a mouthful of blood. her sword was in front of her, she had blocked the back, but the force was more than she could handle.

"I win." Ji Ning said while placing his sword in front of her neck, and with that, he won. but he ignored the outside world while reaching out to take Alpha hand.

"My apologies, I didn't mean to be so heavy-handed with a child." Ji Ning said to which Alpha took his hand after some time. through battle, can one understand a person's heart, she understood Ji Ning wasn't a bad person.

"... what is your connection to the Cult of Zeref?" She asked softly, confusing Ji Ning, but he shook his head.

"I just heard that name yesterday, my apologies, but I can't give you much information." Ji Ning said with a shake of his head, leaving Alpha shocked for a moment. but they gave the same feeling as Zeref

"But my teacher might know a thing or two about him... but knowing him, well, he might give the information out if he has his reason." Ji Ning said while looking towards Ling Han, Alpha did the same, only to see a group of people trying to fight Ling Han. who was running around dodging him.

"Can he be trusted?" Alpha asked with a deep frown while looking at Ji Ning,

"He can't, but you can trust. Let's spar from time to time, you have ways to go. I would like to see how far you can grow." Ji Ning said with a smile, Alpha looked at him for a moment, before nodded. Ji Ning honestly made him more trustworthy
