Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

Mirajane couldn't help but complain after learning that K had arrived at his destination.

Well, after saying goodbye to Ulfheim, Igor, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisana traveled for more than half a year before finally arriving at Magnolia, the city they had been longing to visit.

After all, Ig and the others were not 'King' level mages and did not have the ability to traverse thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. In addition, Ig and Mirajane also had to take care of the young Lisanna, so they deliberately slowed down their pace.

Fortunately, their efforts paid off, and they finally arrived in the city.

"Elfman, Lisanna, hang in there a little longer. We've arrived at our destination. If all goes well, this will be our new home from now on."

After complaining about how unreliable her mentor, Ulfheim, was, Mirajane turned to her younger brother and sister and comforted them.

"Don't worry, sister."

"This distance is nothing to me."

Elfman grinned at Mirajane. Six months later, the boy's body became even more robust, and his height was now comparable to that of Igor, who was 1.8 meters tall.

"Sister, my physical condition is very good."

Lisana crossed her arms and smiled sweetly, indicating that Mirajane didn't need to worry about her.

Although Lisana is only thirteen years old, she is a mage with a magic power of 'B' rank, and she is also a user of receiving magic that can receive 'animal souls', with physical qualities far exceeding those of ordinary people.

“This old lady…”

"Do you know where the Fairy Tail guild is?"

While Mirajane was gently comforting her younger siblings, Igor approached a kind shopkeeper with a smile, asking for directions to the Fairy Tail guild.

"Oh."

"You're planning to go to the Fairy Tail guild for help, aren't you?!"

"Keep walking along this little river until you reach the end, and you'll see the gate of the Fairy Tail guild."

The kind-hearted shopkeeper, after looking Igor up and down, immediately gave her the answer.

"Hehe, you've completely misunderstood us, ma'am~"

"We've come to Magnolia City not to seek help from the Fairy Tail guild, but to join them..."

Mirajane then quickly came up behind Igor and explained with a smile.

Yes, yes.

"Don't let our young age fool you, we're all mages!"

Lisana stood behind Mirajane, nodding repeatedly. With a wave of her hand, she released a dazzling magic circle, received the rabbit's soul, and hopped around, showing off her new magic.

"what?"

"Are you here to join the Fairy Tail guild?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper paused for a moment, then said with a serious face, "In that case, as a kind-hearted shopkeeper, I'll give you outsiders a piece of advice that's neither too serious nor too light! The Fairy Tail guild is not a place for children."

At this point, the shopkeeper glanced around warily, and after making sure there were no outsiders around, he whispered, "Although I haven't been here for long, from what I've observed, those mages from the Fairy Tail guild are quite violent."

"Huh?"

"You're saying the Fairy Tail guild isn't a place for kids?"

Mirajane trembled slightly after listening to the shopkeeper's advice.

Of course, this wasn't because Mirajane was afraid, but because she was happy and excited.

"exactly."

But in the shopkeeper's eyes, it was as if Mirajane had heeded her advice and was preparing to return the way she came, so she smiled and nodded.

"That's great……"

Before the shopkeeper could even breathe a sigh of relief for Mirajane and the others, Mirajane clenched her fists and excitedly said, "Looks like we really came to the right place this time! I don't want to join those childish mage guilds. I'm a grown-up who can stand on my own now."

"Huh?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, utterly bewildered. She thought to herself, "Wait, what's got you so excited? The Fairy Tail guild is dangerous!"

"Brother Elfman, this place is amazing!!"

"It seems we'll soon be able to increase our strength and make a name for ourselves on the continent of 'Ishgard'!"

Lisanna echoed the shopkeeper's words.

"Yes, that's great, Lisanna."

Elfman nodded repeatedly in agreement.

That's exactly it...

Igor nodded slightly to the shopkeeper in front of him in acknowledgment and said, "Thank you for showing us the way."

As soon as Igor finished speaking, he immediately led Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna, following the direction indicated by the shopkeeper, along the gently flowing stream towards the hall of the Fairy Tail guild.

"Thank you for your help."

As the shopkeeper watched Igor, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna leave, he muttered to himself, "The Fairy Tail guild has even more weirdos these days! Should I sell this shop while it's still worth something and move to another city?"

On the other side.

Igor, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna finally arrived at the gate of the Fairy Tail guild, following the shopkeeper's directions.

"Is this the Fairy Tail guild? It's huge!"

Elfman and Lisanna marveled at the sheer size and grandeur of the Fairy Tail guild.

Chapter 42 Mirajane and Erza, two people destined to be mortal enemies!

"Have we finally arrived?"

"Time flies, it really fills me with so many emotions~"

Igor's gaze lingered on the striking "FAIRY TAIL" lettering above the Fairy Tail guild's entrance.

Igor pondered silently. Two and a half years had passed since he transmigrated to this world. He had experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships and endured countless hardships before finally arriving at the gates of the Fairy Tail guild.

"Is this the number one mage guild in the 'Fiore' Kingdom? I hope it won't disappoint me!"

Mirajane looked at the ancient and magnificent Fairy Tail guild building in front of her, raised her eyebrows slightly, then strode to the guild gate and kicked it open without saying a word, laughing loudly: "Hey, everyone in the Fairy Tail guild, your queen has arrived."

"Huh?!"

Mirajane's outburst stunned Igor, who was about to gently push the door open and enter.

Looking at Mirajane's posture, which seemed more like she was there to challenge Fairy Tail than to join the guild, Igor thought to himself, "As expected of Mirajane, she's practically a mage born to join Fairy Tail."

"bump!"

With a soft sound, the gate of the Fairy Tail guild was kicked open, revealing the interior of the guild to Mirajane, Igor, Elfman, and Lisanna.

"Suck~"

"Whoo~"

Inside the Fairy Tail guild hall, hundreds of mages had gathered, some playing cards, some chatting, some smoking, and some drinking. The strong smell of alcohol and smoke was so intense that Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna could barely open their eyes.

However, in contrast, there was no one in front of the signboard where the task of pasting the signboard was to be completed.

Meanwhile, no one noticed Mirajane and the others' arrival, even though Mirajane had used a lot of force in her kick, almost kicking down the gate of the Fairy Tail guild.

"Suck~"

At the Fairy Tail guild bar, Wakaba, a renowned mage from the Kingdom of Fiore, sporting a distinctive pompadour and two cigars dangling from his lips, was energetically shouting: "Place your bets! Place your bets! According to my intelligence, our guild's S-class mage exams for this year have officially ended. This is the final betting phase! Whether you're rich or poor, don't hesitate. Take a gamble at the end of the year, and next year you'll have a villa by the sea..."

Meanwhile, next to Wakaba stood a small sign with several names written on it.

Once Ig got closer, he could see that Erza, Cana, Gray, and Natsu's names were written on it.

"so it is."

After thinking for a moment, Igor pulled out all the money he had and said loudly, "I'm going all in! I'm betting Erza can win this year's 'S-class' mage exam."

"it is good."

"You're really brave, kid!"

"They actually placed a bet of two million J at once!"

"If you don't get rich, who will?"

"Hey, hey, hey, is anyone here planning to call? Look at that kid, and look at you bunch of cowards..."

"I'll say it one last time, there are only fifteen minutes left until the betting deadline."

Wakaba was taken aback by Ig's actions. Although he swore he didn't know who Ig was at all, he didn't hesitate at all when he saw the huge sum of two million J that Ig pushed in front of him. He immediately confirmed Ig's identity as a member of the Fairy Tail guild and put the two million J into the gambling pool.

Besides, no one in the guild has stipulated that outsiders are not allowed to participate in gambling, right?

"hehe."

"You're still too young."

At that moment, Macao, who was sitting silently drinking whiskey next to Wakaba, suddenly gave a cold laugh. As he spoke, he carefully took out 100,000 J in cash, which he had saved up from his frugality over the past year, from his pocket, and then slammed it hard on the bar table, shouting, "I bet no one will pass the guild's 'S-class' mage exam this year."

"what?!"

As Marcao finished speaking, everyone present was taken aback.

"Macau actually had no one pass the test when betting?"

"But that's not wrong, is it? After all, this year's candidates are all too young. Even the oldest one, Erza, is only fifteen and a half years old, right?"

At this moment, some members of Fairy Tail agreed with Marcao's opinion.

“That’s right. Even the guild master’s grandson, Laxus, only passed the guild’s ‘S-class’ mage exam at the age of seventeen…”

"Although Erza is very strong, I don't believe she can break the record currently held by Laxus for the youngest 'S-class' mage to pass the guild exam."

Amidst the lively discussions among the Fairy Tail guild members, everyone placed their bets on the category that no one could pass the S-rank exam this year.

"Sorry, young man, it looks like we'll be splitting your money equally."

At the same time, there were quite a few Fairy Tail members who expressed their sincere apologies with expressions of genuine jealousy.

But once they were at the gambling table, they believed that Igor was prepared to lose.

"hehe."

Igor simply smiled and offered no explanation, silently awaiting Erza and the others' return.

But sometimes, things just turn out so unexpectedly...

If Igor's memory serves him correctly, Erza will officially pass the Fairy Tail guild's S-class mage exam this year, becoming the youngest S-class mage to ever pass the Fairy Tail guild's exam.

A fifteen-year-old S-class mage, and an S-class mage of the Fairy Tail guild at that! Just listen to how astonishing that talent is!

Although in terms of talent alone, Ig, Mirajane and Erza are no less capable.

"Hey!"

"Can't you hear me?"

"I said, your queen has arrived!!"

At this moment, Mirajane, who had been ignored by the guild members, stood on the bar counter in a huff and shouted loudly.

"Go, go, go."

In this regard, the mages of the Fairy Tail guild seem to be completely immune to Mirajane's unconventional personality.

After all, within the Fairy Tail guild, there are already two people who hold the title of Fairy Queen: Erza and Abrams (who boasts about it all the time).

"bump!"

Just then, the gates of the Fairy Tail guild were suddenly pushed open, and Erza, who was supposed to be heading to Tenrou Island to take the S-class mage exam, appeared at the guild gates. She looked at Mirajane and asked, "Who wants to be the Fairy Queen again?"

The moment Erza pushed open the guild door, her gaze was immediately drawn to Mirajane standing at the bar.

"Um?!"

"Huh?!"

Erza and Mirajane only needed to glance at each other in the crowd for a moment, and sparks immediately flew between their eyes.

"I don't know why, but I just want to beat you up right here..."
