Chapter 2
In Magnolia Harbor, in a building with a slightly shabby interior and a tavern layout, there was a noisy noise from time to time.
Through the front door, you can see that there are many people reveling wantonly, and there are also people standing on the commission board looking for suitable commissions for themselves. There is a joyful atmosphere everywhere.
"From now on, you are a member of the Fairy Tail Guild."
Going deeper, a short old man with white hair was standing on the bar that had turned yellow due to years of lack of maintenance. He was holding a wooden seal and talking to a girl.
She was a little girl of about 11 or 12 years old.
She had beautiful long red hair, fair skin, and especially her eyes were exceptionally clear, like flawless white gems.
If you had to find a flaw, it would be that she only had one such beautiful eye, and the other eye was covered by a white eye patch. Obviously, this eye had been damaged and had lost its sight.
"I...I've already...joined Fairy Tail………If Grandpa Rob knew, he would be very happy.……"
The girl raised her hand and looked at the dark blue guild seal that the old man had stamped on her arm. She unconsciously recalled the hunched back that had blocked the attack for her.
A trace of loneliness appeared in her clear eyes.
The old man saw all of this and sighed softly, but he was powerless to persuade her.
He could still solve some magic problems, but the mental trauma could only be healed slowly over time.
Immediately, the old man could only point at the people around him with his skinny hands and change the subject.
"By the way, Erza, you just arrived and many people haven't met you yet. Let me introduce you."
"The girl holding the cards is called Kana"
"Cigarette butts, Wakaba"
"Purple hair girl, Lucky"
"Macao……"
"And that exhibitionist, Gray."
Hey, old man, who is the exhibitionist?
Hearing that he was specifically named, a boy about Erza's age went crazy and started to defend himself.
But as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately interrupted him.
"President Makarov did not say that, and before you say these words, put on your clothes first."
"Gray, you still have such a short memory, hahahaha"
"You guys come and fight!"
"I won’t fight with that little brat, hahahaha!"
"Wow wow wow, I'm so mad, don't run!"
…………
Seeing this scene, Makarov's mouth twitched a little, but he could only say to Erza helplessly
"These guys are like this on a daily basis, you don't have to be surprised, even if they are a little weird, they are all good people"
""Yes."
Erza nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Makarov continued to introduce the members of the guild. However, after introducing them all, he suddenly found that one person was missing.
"Where is Loya? Didn't we agree that today is the party to welcome Erza to join the guild? Why can't we see him?"
"Where else can that guy go with his personality? Of course, he's in the underground library, hiding there reading books. He even said he was planning to publish a book these days."
Macao, who was standing by, holding up a wooden barrel cup, said drunkenly.
"Reading? Reading at this time?"
Erza looked a little surprised.
It was no wonder she had such a reaction.
Reading was normal, but in this carnival atmosphere, there were still people hiding in the underground library to read.
This made her curious.
"That's right, this guy is a real person."
Makarov said with a headache
"He is about the same age as you, and he is the only boy in the whole guild who likes reading. He likes it so much that he sometimes doesn't even have time to eat."In theory, loving reading is a very good thing. People can learn and gain a lot of knowledge in the ocean of knowledge, especially for wizards.
In the current magical world, due to different physiques, everyone has more or less magic power stored in their bodies, but even with this magic power, not everyone can use magic and become a wizard.
At this time, there are two choices, one is to learn magic through hands-on teaching, and the other is to learn magic from books. Due to the times, the latter is more common.
Even those who have mastered magic can improve their understanding of magic and their ability to deal with it by reading other magic.
In the past, the only person in the guild who liked reading was Leibi, and now there is one more Loya.
At first, Makarov didn't feel anything, and even felt a little happy.
After It seemed like the people in the guild were too fond of causing trouble and always liked to fight. They really needed someone who liked reading to mediate and change the atmosphere.
With Rebi as a companion, a man and a woman, it was easier to mobilize the atmosphere of reading in the guild.
However... this idea changed over time.
Makarov discovered that Loya loved reading too much!
He read all kinds of books, whether they were books on the principles of magic, ordinary geography books, and even basic magic classification books that children could understand. In the end, he published his own book in magic books and magazines. Is this still a member of the Fairy Tail Guild?
Does this still look like a member of the Fairy Tail Guild!!
Makarov felt as if both his parents were strong-willed warriors, but they gave birth to a wizard!
Direct genetic mutation!
Although it was not unacceptable, the shock was indeed a bit huge.
Sometimes, he was a little worried that he would become a nerd.
""Loya?"
Hearing Makarov's words, Erza couldn't help but become curious about the Loya he mentioned.
At this time, Makarov suddenly spoke again.
"Erza, if you have any training problems, you can find Loya. His strength is average, but he has unique insights into magic. He can help you solve some problems."
Loya is indeed a little unreliable, but even Makarov has to admit that after reading a lot of books, Loya's understanding of magic is better than his in some aspects.
Well!
There are only some, no more.
Makarov said with certainty in his heart
"I just happen to have a question about magic, can I ask Loya for advice?"
Erusa raised her head, revealing a clear look of anxiety and desire for power.
After going through so many hardships, she wanted to become stronger than anyone else.
Only by becoming stronger can she protect the people she wants to protect, and she no longer wants to lose anything.
Looking at Erza's determined eyes, how could Makarov refuse?
"I see. I'll take you to find him. You just joined the guild, so it's a good opportunity for you to get familiar with it."
