Hello everyone, welcome to another chapter!
Things were pretty hectic last week, so I didn't have a chance to write. I would say I will keep up with consistent uploads, but life just happens!
To be honest it was a miracle I posted for three weeks back to back.
I really have just been winging on the computer, I have some things planned, just not exactly how to get there smoothly, that's what this entire fic is for!
Aston will be occurring every now and then, but he will simply be comic relief for the supernatural, as stated in the last chapter he's not an actual angel, so it will be pretty funny, when he does and acts… non-purely.
There will be many more OCs in this story, some made by me and others, well not exactly OC, but more … Altered if you understand.
But now I think now's the time we get some character focus, let's start with our mysterious Sento.
I have finally picked a backstory besides 'an average magus' sorry for taking four chapters to get this over.
I plan to have a story arc with him later on so you will only have just the base info, I will get into the deeper stuff later.
As for the ones against me nerfing Vali and the others, well… it just kinda made sense to do that. Vali from canon could like, body people who could technically destroy a continent, and technically, around Wizard Saint and Spriggan level. Albion won't be gone for long.
And finally, looking back at the previous paragraph, I going to fuck with the power scaling in this fic, embrace chaos folks.

Chapter Text
[Sento POV]
"Things have been pretty hectic lately hasn't it?"
Me along with everyone else stares at the Guild Master, still towering over us. The pure amount of fucking Prana excuding from that thing was thing couldn't be human in any damn way. He has to be some phantasmal that didn't leave to the other side.
And that's just this guy, I can feel it around everyone else, even more so in the outliers among this guild.
"Damn it Zelretch! That old fucker actually sent me to some old-time fantasy world." I swear at the Second Magician." He might have more magic than most of the casters in the Throne."
Oh well… you get what you asked for.
Alright, yesterday I was just winging it from there, still getting used to this new body of mine, I still have the same number of magical circuits, but they were higher in quality. I tested other functions like Projection and Grasp, they all checked out.
Though my best benefit was looking like an adult, well, Rias said teenager but that's the same thing.
I was nine when I, somehow, some way, ended up in that place. I was so scared until he found me, when he showed me everyone. They all loved him, respected him …
…he gave me everything, along with this second chance, that's why I made that promise to…
But that's another matter to talk about for later, my… entourage from another-another world. A world where the Age of the Gods haven't ended and all mythologies are still around, with a few centuries after a devastating war.
Rias Gremory, she says that she is a devil, but I don't believe it. Sure, Gremory is one of the devils named from the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, and her aura does feel demonic, but her actions and mannerisms are way too human, she acts more like a princess. I think someone from the Gremory bloodline must have adopted her into the family, probably couldn't have an heir or something, which would have been a real dangerous situation if they picked up an average human.
Xenovia Quarta, an exorcist from the church, I wouldn't have believed her if it weren't for that Noble Phantasm of hers. During the train ride here I figured out that it was Durandal, to be able to use a sword like that, she must have been in the big leagues of the church, though she should wear a shroud or something. Don't get me wrong, that uniform of hers is perfect for swift movement and flexibility, but I don't think that could handle what this world has to offer.
Vali Lucifer, he claims to have relation with THE Lucifer, which is quite an interesting thing to say. Along with the fact that he also has a piece of gear made by God himself, Using the soul of Albion itself. That's one hell of a combo if you ask me, though he seems to use the head on his shoulders. You think a spawn of Lucifer would be arrogant and well… devilish to the extreme.
Actually, I wonder if God was similar to the Root? A thought for later.
Rossweisse, a Valkyrie that served Odin directly, Valkyries were the battle maidens for the Norse mythology. There whole ordeal was to bring warriors to Valhalla, starting from Brynhildr to Aslung, both descendent to Odin himself, with the former being his own daughter and the latter his granddaughter, though she slept through the entirety of Ragnarök until the end of the ninth century. I wonder if she brought back the Valkyries in her world or if they survived past Ragnarök, I'll have to ask her later.
And finally there's Kunou, the only child among us, she was clearly scared of everything that was going on. This is going to sound very weird and stupid without context, but I have far more experience with being a kid, more so than others thanks to the Lilys. I was always able to calm Jackie down when they got angry or upset, Kunou kinda reminded me of her for a moment, so it was easy to calm her down. She was a yokai, I… don't have much to say about that, I have been distracting her with the sights around, though it seemed that she was a little bothered by the mana in the guild. The mystic code I made for her seemed to do well, but just enough for her to get by, probably has to do with that touki ability of hers, which kind of makes sense in a way, seeing as it involves the nature of the world itself, gonna have to make a better one some other time.
To be honest, I have no idea why Zelretch would bring these people with me. Do they have some importance for one of his weird far-shot goals he has? I never spent that much time with him, and the time I did, well that was when I looked into his Kaleidosticks with the Second Magic. Though I prefer Heaven's Feel.
Its just weird, what reason would he would bring in such a variety of- oh who am I kidding he would totally bring that amount of people in one place for shits and giggles,
No matter, just in case they are important. I will do my best to keep them alive.
Alright, now I need to deal with this guild issue.
I step forward, putting myself in front of the group, it should be easier with me being the person who speaks. Lucy looked like she was going to shit herself.
Oh yeah, there was Lucy, with her multiple familiar summonings related to the constellations, and native to this world, which was named Earthland of all places.
She was the person who helped me and the others make it here in the first place, telling me about everything she knew about this place, and for that, she deserved something in return, so she tagged along with us to Fairy Tail in the first place.
I always pay my debts no matter what.
"Master Makarov, we are here to join the Fairy Tail guild." I speak with confidence in my voice.
People like these, they don't want people who second guess themselves, they managed to become number one in the country for over a decade, their standards must be at the very least, above the average level then most.
The master closes his eyes, as if contemplating something, he then nods his head
"I SEE THEN… VERY WELL!"
His form then begins to tremble, his prana fluctuating as he begins to shrink.
This is it, the make-it-or-lose-it moment of whether we are going to pass his test or not. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath as I began to think of a plan.
Judging by how dense the mana is in the air, and by signaling out them individually, and comparing them with our strength, everyone can be able to pass, albeit at different levels.
Here's the power scaling I have:
Top:Makarov
High:Vali,Rossweisse
Mid:, Xenovia, Rias
Low:Me, Lucy, Kunou
Me, Lucy, and Kunou can make it to the bottom of the barrel in this guild, but we can climb up, with my skill set, Kunou's Senjustu, and Lucy's Spirits, we can climb up to mid tier level in no time at all. But, we still need to pass, it's obvious that this place does not simply revolve around power alone, so we can focus on the other stuff later.
The master finishes shrinking while I make my quick scaling.
I open my eyes, to… find…
… An old dwarf, who has a wrinkled face, with an orange jester hat smiles upon me.
He takes a hand up in the air with a cheerful grin." Well… welcome aboard! Glad to have you all."
…
…
…
"What?" I hear Rias and Rossweisse say quite loudly, clearly confused by the tremendous giant replaced by the now happy dwarf.
I can't really blame them for that to be honest, I'm shocked too
He turns around and leaps for the second floor ledge, he nearly knocks his head on it before taking both hands to stop himself and fling himself up there. He proceeds to clear his throat and faces the guild.
"You've gone and done it again, you rascals!" He then holds up a stack of paper. "Look at all this paperwork the council sent me, they're all complaints!"
I listened to Rossweisse as she made an observation. "Is that… bigger than Bora's documents?" She questions, and now thinking about it, it was.
Three times bigger that is.
He points at the man in his boxers." Gray!"
"Huh?" Said man then looks up at the master.
"Good job sweeping out that smuggling organization, but you walked around in town naked afterwards, and ran away after stealing someone's laundry."
"But wouldn't it be worse if I were naked?"
But the master continued on." Elfman! You had a mission to escort a VIP, but then you attacked him!?"
"Uhhhh, he said all men were all about education, so…"
He changes his target once again, this time to the woman with the big beer barrel." Cana! You drank fifteen big barrels of alcohol, and then told them to charge it to the council."
"Oh… they found out…"
At this point, the Master sounded just defeated. "And Loke... flirting with council member, Elder Reiji's granddaughter . A certain talent agency charged us for damages, too."
"Uhh..."
"Laki, you were supposed to help with the Diamond Bucket restaurant, but it got infected by Blacktooth Ants from the animal store next door!"
"They said to only bring the white box, but there were several white boxes, and the labels were put on the bottom of the box! Who checks the bottom of the box?!"
"Levy! With how much you love books, how did you let a library from Dazzle Town get burned down?!"
Levy only looks down, not even trying to hide her guilt." I was… curious about the back door?"
"Aston, you're lucky the kids at the daycare love you a lot to forgive you when you destroyed it! They pleaded with the caretaker to not charge us!"
I see Xenovia stepping forward with a face of disbelief, unable to process what she heard.
I look towards the angel, who now with everyone's eyes on him, acted rather shy, stuttering a bit in his excuse.
"W-well, I was a little tired and the daycare didn't finish getting rebuilt last time, so when I laid against an unfinished pillar, well…" he didn't finish but the idea was there.
"Guess even Angel's make mistakes."
The master heavily sighs, going on as if this was a usual occurrence." You did well for six months." Makarov muttered.
"All you fools do is make the council angry at me!" Master shivers with rage, and everyone looks away. "However... the council can go screw themselves!" he yells, setting the stack of papers on fire.
He tosses it aside, letting it burn out in the air.
"Listen up!" Makarov declares, "Magic is an unreasonable power, but it is born from reason. It is not some nonsensical miracle. It is the combination of the spirit that flows within us and the spirit that flows in nature, incarnated into physical form!"
"You need a sturdy mind and a steady concentration- magic is the pouting out of one's entire soul!" he says, "if you keep worrying about the eyes from above, you'll never get any further forward! Don't be afraid of the fools in the council, follow the path you, yourself believe in! That's the way of a Fairy Tail wizard!"
And they raise their hands, index finger and thumb point upward, fist turned in.
Everyone cheers, and somehow, a party begins.
I heard Rias squeal at the end of the speech, she looked like she made it to Heaven (hehehe).
The others' reactions were less noticeable but it did move them, all of them were excited.
Can't blame them, I am too.

[Streaming ending]
[Le Fay Pendragon POV]
Amazing
That was the only word I could think of as I witnessed the absolute chaos that Fairy Tail was producing.
And the speech the master said at the end really pulled my heartstrings.
Magic has always held a special place in my heart, seeing as I am the descendant of Morgana Le Fay and King Arthur. Though I took a lot after the former.
Seeing the magic there excited me, there was so much magic to look at, there was some that she hadn't even seen before.
During the end of the drunken brawl, when they were only using magic for a second, she found some that she never even thought of before.
"Ohh, I wished I was there." I mutter to myself.
Though the voice behind me disagreed." Oh really, I don't think you would want to fit in with barbarians."
I smugly replied. " Well… I'm sure I can convince mom and dad to go if I had a chance. The magic circles and sigils seen through the screen are unidentifiable, it technically could be seen as an entire new branch of magic. The Golden Dawn might come towards that conclusion as well, we just need a way to enter that world."
I turn around to find my brother entering my room.
"Well, quite an interesting theory there." Arthur replies, although he isn't a master magician like me, he can use it to a reasonable extent.
Plus he was forced to understand the advance magic so he could watch over me( Read: spoil my fun).
I look back at where the screen used to be, letting out a heavy sigh." Well, I wished I could fully see more magic though. Hearing so much about Fairy Tail from Lucy I was really excited to try some new ideas."
Arthur goes and pat me on the back."I admit, it would be entertaining, watching the number one in the country going on with their antics."
Ah, there he goes with his fancy talk, anyone who hadn't been with him for as long as I have would think nothing of it. But I know when he uses his insults.
If only Mom and Dad knew how foul-mouthed their son really was.
Oh well, I can just wait for the screen to open up next time. I'll bring a notebook next time to write it down.
[Azazel POV]
Interesting, they're not the only ones in that world.
How'd an Angel get stuck over there?
And if there's one there then…
I get up from my seat, going over to my office. I sat in it and looked in my files.
They contained lists of spies I had all over the world, from the Vatican to the Chaos faction.
The plan was to have Vali enter there, along with that new team I was setting up.
But now's not the time for that.
Makarov said that Aston was around for six months. I'll ask my spy networks for information about unsolved disappearances in their circles, to try and find other people who may have been picked up by Zelretch.
By Father this is going to be a pain in the ass.
[Supernatural POV]
The screen flickered on once again
MISSION 1: Rescue Macao!
Little Romeo's father went on a mission. It's been a week since then and he hasn't returned. Find him and return him to his family.
Party:Sento Tengumaru
[Sento Tengumaru POV]
I looked towards my left hand, where a red Fairy Tail mark was at, I looked to find the others with their own marks.
Rias's was red like my own, however, it was on her right shoulder.
Xenovia was blue, located on her chest.
Yellow was Kunou's pick placed on her left arm.
Rossweisse and Vali both had white on their back and left bicep respectively.
And Lucy had it pink on her hand. And she was excited
"Guys look! I'm a member of Fairy Tail."
"Wow, you're all so excited."
We turn to find Mirajane, the one who stamped us.
"You guys will love it here, I promise."
"Why thank you ." I say, to at least be courteous.
"Please, call me Mira, I am not that old yet." She smiles
Well, if that's what she wants to be called then who am I to disagree.
Though I have to ask.
"Excuse me, Mira, where do we do jobs here?"
Since we are now members, it should be ok to go out to find pay. We may be young, but there should be something we could do if Kunou was allowed to join.
"Oh Yes! Where do we go to find quests?" Rias was giddying, jumping up and down.
"Well, you go and look at the board, come and I'll show you guys."
Mirajane left the counter and made a sign to follow her, everyone went to follow.
I would have joined if I didn't hear a voice.
"Isn't my dad back yet?"
I stopped my step and turned around to find a little boy facing the master, his height was only a little more than the master.
The kid had tears in his eyes. However, it didn't seem to bother the master. "You're getting annoying, Romeo," the Master reprimands him, "if you're the son of a proud wizard, then believe in him and wait patiently at home."
"But he said he'd be back in three days! It's been a week, and he isn't back yet," Romeo says.
Master puts down his drink. "His job was at Mt Hakobe, if I recall..."
"A week, at that point there's a huge chance that the person is dead."
"That's not far at all, go and look for him!" Romeo argues.
"Your father is a wizard!" Master raises his voice, "there ain't a wizard in this guild that can't save his own ass! Go home and drink some milk and wait!"
Romeo balls his fist, and leaps up to sink a fist in Master's face.
"You jerk!" Romeo yells, running away tearfully.
Master falls back, bringing his beer mug with him and shattering it somewhere under the bar by accident.
I look over to the boy, then I look to the others.
"I can make it back, the kid said that Mt Hakobe wasn't that far, they can watch themselves for a few hours."
I look towards Vali.
"Maybe?"
I turn around and rush out the guild, going past the now- up and right master and other members.
I walk out of the guild, looking around, and finding the kid down the stairs.
After finding him I grab his attention."Hey kid!"
The kid turns around to face me, I catch up towards him.
"Um?"
"Your name's Romeo right? I just joined the guild a few minutes ago."
"Oh, hello, and yes, my name is Romeo."
"I'm going to bring your father back."
Romeo's eyes widen for a bit, before a smile spreads across his face.
"Really? You'll find him?"
"Yes, I'll bring him back."
"Even his corpse if I have to."
But I can't just go in uninformed, I need information.
"Can you give me an idea on what he looks like? I never met him before, maybe anything he does, like what magic he uses?"
He might not believe me if I just say I am a member of the guild, some personal info could help ease that problem.
"Oh, and did he tell you anything about Mt Hakobe and the job he did there?"
"Sure! He told me everything about it, follow me."
He turns around and walks down, I follow him as he tells me everything he knows.
[Makarov POV]
I watch as one of my new kids has gone out to help with Macao's situation.
I sigh
"Should you go get him?"
I turn to find Wakaba, cigar in his mouth as usual.
"I know Macao better than anyone, even more so than his own wife. Even if he's in trouble, he knows well enough what to do, plus he's been getting back into shape after what happened with Cana all those years ago."
Painful memories reappeared, as I remember the incident on Tenrou that nearly took Cana away from us.
Even I thought she was gone. Then the whole thing with Lisanna and Natsu…
"It's all right, it might be good for the new kid to get some experience."
Or rather, use it.
"No one can tell anyone what road she should walk on, let him do what he wants!"
I have been watching them for a while, and I'd say we've got a rather interesting bunch of kids.
And they're all interesting in their own ways. Though that's everyone in this guild.
I could tell right away they all had something they were carrying. It is not that unusual in this guild, I hope that the others can help with that.
Regarding the two blondes, everyone else has some amount of experience to them, with Sento having the most. My old age has let me pick up on a thing or two.
Though he is young, he doesn't act like it.
I looked towards one of the tables, finding all the knives there missing, he nabbed them while nobody at the table noticed.
While the table was full,
I do remember Macao's quest being a monster subjugation type.
Quite a resourceful one that kid is.
"Sento?"
I turn to find the little fox girl(Kunou was her name) looking around, probably trying to find him.
She approaches near my area, she looks towards me, she wants to ask something. But she seemed to be a little scared.
"Don't be shy child, what's on your mind?"
Though it was obvious what she wanted to say.
"Did you know where Sento went Master?"
She was a little timid in her question, but I responded." I asked your friend about a small matter I needed to attend to, he was kind enough to help, don't worry, he'll be back by sunset."
That seemed to calm her down, she turned around as I saw the ring in her finger was glowing, I was quite curious about it, so I asked her.
"Excuse me child, that's a lovely ring you got on there, where'd you get it?"
"Sento gave me this a while ago, I felt a little weird when I first entered the guild but now it doesn't feel that bad anymore, sir."
"Oh, mind if I Take a look?"
Kunou didn't see a problem with the question, so she put her hand out so that I could have a look.
It seemed to be like any enchanted ring, but with my expertise in magic I found that there was something more to this than that. They were runes that helped damp the magic power around the wearer of the ring.
What was impressive was by how many there were in total. Several, and I mean several runes, all so small that it packs together to make it look like one big rune.
"And he did this on the spot? Very impressive."
"What a lovely ring, you have a really good friend by your side."
"Thank you Sir."
Kunou then went to walk back towards her group.
"Hehehe, it appears Fairy Tail has gotten some more diamonds in the rough. I'm going to tell Jose about this at Clover Town next week."
A small chuckle leaves my lips, seeing Jose getting pissed off about me getting more powerful wizards.
Wakaba notices me chuckling and asks. "Something funny master?"
"Ahh, nothing, it's just Macao's pride will be a little bruised for a while."
[Earthland POV]
Meanwhile on a snow covered path there was a carriage making its way over. Inside it was Sento, he was wearing a white winter coat covering his body with thick pants and hard boots to help keep him warm.
He… borrowed them for the occasion.
In his hands are two books one detailing about Mt. Hakobe's terrain and the other about creatures that live there.
After a moment Sento closes the books." Alright, the book may not have an exact location on where they hang out, it does say where they usually are at."
He pulls a map of the place out of his pocket, and begins to trace over the general locations the book had detailed.
"The job he was on had something to do with a Vulcan, an ape creature of sorts that was causing trouble to the town.
Once he finished, he brought forward knives, another item he borrowed. There were six of them; he first began to use alchemy to be able to carve out tiny runes, similar to Kunou's ring. Though its purpose was to help strengthen and increase the sharpness on the knives, in order to combat the Vulcans' thick hides. He already placed some on his clothes to help with the cold.
The carriage stopped at a snow covered mountain, out of it came Sento
The man who was driving the carriage told him. "This is as far as I can go."
"That's alright, thanks for your help man, you can go." Sento thanks his driver, lucky enough to have found one in the first place. While I did make most of the trip on foot after leaving the train, I don't know the terrain enough to fully get there, nor the power to just head there haphazardly.
Sento travels for a little while, scouting the land trying to find Macao.
"The chances that he's alive are low, but from what I got he is one of the more experienced members of the guild so I can reasonably guess that this isn't the first time he got into a situation like this."
Sento has three of his knives in his left hand in a claw-like shape.
"There were about three areas where they usually are at, I'll have to canvas them one by one. However, thanks to the towns folk, I can cross out the east side of the mountain because the town the job was posted in was on the West. The north area is far closer to the west, so there's a high chance the Vulcan could have come from there as well." Sento promptly observes and concludes with everything he has so far.
He then hears a rumbling from above and finds a dark figure above him, coming towards him at fast speeds.
Activating his magic circuits on his feet, Sento leaps back, his body passing through the harsh snow battering the rest of the mountain. The figure slammed on the ground, its cover splashes around, rising up and mixing in with the air, covering the area and blocking sight. Sento focuses on the area, looking around every now and then but always on guard, growling emerging from the front, he quickly goes down the side, and fortunately, out of the cover. The figure makes its way out too, its appearance now in full view.
A bipedal ape, bearing white fur, hulking over at least three to four meters tall, it bangs his chest as it looks to find its prey.
"The book said they are capable of some human intellect, let's see how much."
Sento shouts."HEY, YOU KNOW A GUY NAMED MACAO?!"
"A simple question should be a good start."
The Vulcan stops in its tracks. It looks towards Sento, opening its mouth and it begins to start making noise.
"Mmmaaaaa… maaaaaannn?"
"Good, might make this a little easier."
"Now let's see the limit of its intelligence."
"A man came here a week ago, you know where?"
"Man?" The Vulcan looked a little confused and simply repeated the word.
"Got to dumb it down a bit, let's see."
Sento points towards himself. "Man"
Then towards the mountain." Home. Here."
He puts seven fingers out." Seven."
Points toward the sky." Days."
He then does an 'I don't know' expression. "Where?"
It seemed to go through to the ape, as it then pointed down the mountain.
"That's… nowhere near any of the marked areas."
Sento walks forward, his guard still up, having his other half of knives in his other hand.
He walks forward to where it was pointing at. As soon as Sento went to look, the Vulcan had a smile on its face. It jumps and kicks with his hind legs, attempting to get Sento off the mountain. However, he quickly ducks in time, rolling back under the Vulcan, passing through its bulking arms, and surprisingly laughing while doing it.
"HAHAHAH, YOU ACTUALLY PLANNED ALL OF THAT?!"
He stopped in a crouch and jumped forward, kicking it in the back of the head, making it stumble and land on its front, enraging it.
"GHRAAA! STUPID MAN! STUPID MAN!" it repeats, mad that he didn't fall for it.
"OH? You understood me that time. You're smarter than you look?"
The Vulcan tries to do a dual hand swipe from the right, only for Sento to step back. It slams its right hand into the ground, completely missing him.
However, Sento wasn't one to leave anyone , he stabbed the downed hand, it pierced into its flesh, going through its hide. Its indented into its hand, Sento would have taken its fingers off, but it would do for the moment.
"If you can completely understand human speech.m without the need to break it down."
The Vulcan, in anger, lifts the now skewered hand,lifting it along with Sento into the air. He lets go of it and flips himself upright, he has his right leg in the air, preparing a kick.
"And you have an idea where Macao is."
His magic circuits pouring everything into it, and then axekicks the ape, the force sending him back to the ground. The Vulcan wasn't done yet, it slams both of its arms on its side, not only recovering from the fall but also pushing itself off the ground, back at Sento.
"Then I'll simply…"
With a grin the Vulcan tries to clap his hands to squash him only for him to use his magic circuits to weigh himself more, out of the way of the attack. He uses his remaining hand with knives and drives it right into its stomach.
"…BEAT THE ANSWER OUT OF YOU!"
The force pushes the two of them back down, Sento lets go and uses the gravity of the fall to punch the knives even further into the stomach. The phantasmal roared in pain, staggered by the two pronged attack, giving enough time for him to jump back and get into a fighting stance.
"However, if you're smart enough to think of a trick like before, then you're smart enough to be reasoned with. If you don't give me his location and if he is alive or dead right now I will use your body as the first experiment I do in this world."
However, it didn't hear him as its pain now turned to rage, now getting up on its feet. Its eyes blood red, wishing nothing more than to squash him right then and there.
"RRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
Once more it charges towards Sento, it pulls its fist back and punches towards his location. Sento steps back as each blow gets faster and stronger. Sento weaves under one arm and slides behind it,he kicks its back, making it stumble forward, but it catches itself and spins while using its right hand to attack, where the other three knives were. Sento flips over the hand, while simultaneously grabbing two of the knives and pulling them out.
He lands on the ground as the Vulcan stops spinning with its right hand pulled back ready to punch.
As soon as it releases the punch, Sento jumps over it and runs over it, he leaps over and stabs its shoulder with his left while turning over to stab the other one, sliding off onto the ground. Sento dashes to its stomach to grab two more knives from the stomach area, pulling two from it. He runs towards its back and slices its legs in order to make it fall.
However, it manages to recover and decides to run away, it appears that despite its severe state, it knows when to cut their losses. Due to its biology, it can climb the steeper parts of the mountain, Sento tried to follow but it was getting away.
"DAMNIT GET BACK HERE!"
"It's getting away, it knows where Macao is and I can't catch up with all of this… snow, wait that's it!"
Sento grabs a pile of snow making a ball, once he finishes he then throws it with all of his might, heading towards the Vulcan.
It looks back to find that the snowball missed. It looks at Sento and makes mocking gestures. At one point it spoke. "Hahah! Ooo Stupid man! Oooooo"
However, Sento only smirks, and with that comes a huge rumbling sound. The Vulcan looks up the mountain and sees a huge snowball heading straight towards it.
It didn't have time to move out the way before it hit it square on, pushing it back. It falls down from the mountain, going past Sento's location. As soon as it happened, he jumped off and followed it down the mountain.
As they both fell, Sento utilizes his magic circuits to help catch up to the creature. It however, wasn't paying attention, far more worried about the fall, which made it pretty easy to attack.
Sento brings both hands up and pours all his Od into it. Once he reaches the Vulcan he slams both down on its head, knocking it out and slamming it further down.
Luckily there was a road wide enough for them to fall to, without going down the entire mountain. Sento lands on the Vulcan using it as a cushion.
Once Sento gets off, he begins to dust himself. "Alright, now that we got that all out the way, you probably should start talking. I do have other methods."
He then approaches the Vulcan, however, it begins to glow for a bit. Its size decreased , going into more of a human size, once the glow stopped, Sento looked upon what happened.
In its place was a man. Sento immediately approached him." His description fits Romeo's father. It looked like he was the Vulcan." He sees the wounds he inflicted." No matter, at least he's not dead, I can fix him up and ask what happened later, the injuries I put on him might kill him if left too unattended."
He starts to use Projection in order to materialize bandages." Sorry for doing all that, don't worry, once you wake up you'll be right back home with your family.
"I can't believe he went on a quest without us!"
Rias was pouting, walking through the ton at sunset, she was clearly upset.
"Kunou said that the Master asked for his help, it shouldn't be anything serious." Lucy replied. " I'm sure there's nothing really dangerous about it."
"I know, it's just that he left without telling anyone."
Rossweisse was right behind them." You weren't that upset when Vali took that Lava demon quest." The Valkyrie probes.
"It's Vali, he'll be fine, he has the Divine Dividing on his side, what could stop him."
"The what?"
"You know his Sacred Gear-"
Rias stopped in her tracks realizing that Lucy doesn't know.
"Sacred… Gear? I think one of you guys mentioned that earlier."
"Well… it's kind of like…"
"LET ME GO YOU DAMN BRA-OWWW!"
The sudden shout takes their attention away as they find Sento kicking an injured old man that's tied down to a cart.
"FUCK DOWN, OLD MAN! I HAD TO LISTEN TO YOUR SHIT FOR THE WHOLE WAY BACK." Sento surprisingly shouts, kicking him again."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING SENTO?!" Rossweisse shouts, making Sento notice them. The Magi waves towards them, as if he wasn't striking an old man.
"Hey girls, how have you all been?"
Rias was having none of that." Don't dodge the question mister." She gets directly in front of him, her pout returning once more." You left on a quest without telling us."
Sento waves her off." Mt Halobe wasn't that far, just needed to grab him and back."
He goes to grab the cart handle and starts to walk." Where are Vali, Kunou, and Xenovia?"
Lucy answered this one." The second Mira finished explaining missions, Vali took on a monster hunting quest straight away. Xenovia went to the Kardia Cathedral, and Kunou went to the park, hanging out with the kids of older members."
"Anyone of those kids named Romeo, got his dad here, and I want him gone."
"What happened to him?" Rossweisse asks, looking at the man not even moving.
"Well Rossweisse, he took on a job to subjugate a Vulcan-an ape-like creature- that was surrounding the area. He stumbled onto an entire pack of these and took them all out, even the Alpha went down as well."
"Really? How much is that?"
"Somewhere around twenty."
"Twenty of those monsters, well I guess it'd make sense for him to end up like that."
"Oh no Lucy, I personally think they're all weak, these injuries are from me actually."
…
…
"What?"
Sento begins to walk towards the park, passing the girls.
"HOLD ON!"
"The hell you mean by that?!"
"Sento, explain yourself! It's not proper to hit the elderly!"
Sento reaches the park, he looks around and finds Romeo sulking on the bench, surrounded by a woman that might be his mom.
"ROMEO!"
The kid looks towards the sound of his voice, he looks at the cart ,he realizes what was on it.
"I FOUND HIM!"
"DAD!"
He runs towards the cart and jumps on Macao, causing him to grunt in pain.
"Owww!"
Romeo had tears leak from his eyes." I'm sorry… I shouldn't have made you take a quest for me."
He clings to his father harder. "The guys at school, were always saying mean things about you and Fairy Tail, and I just wanted to-"
"Romeo… I understand, let's just… stay here for a while."
Romeo wipes his eyes, though a smile was seen on his face." Ok."
Sento walks away, he walks in a random direction, sooner or later he finds himself at the guild. He then recollects about the two days.
"Body-snatching apes, can this world get any crazier?"
"It always will if you look in the right way."
Sento turns around and finds Makarov strolling behind him." The world is both beautiful as it is dangerous. Even as we know most of the world, its remaining mysteries help balance out the mundane daily life of a wizard."
Sento chuckles." Truer words haven't been said."
The Guild Master smiles." Thank you for bringing Macao back boy."
"No problem master, just doing something I thought should have been done."
"Oh I understand, we fairies are quite stubborn, but even during our darkest hours we always pulled through, I simply had faith in Macao's abilities."
"When you put it like that, I guess I can't exactly blame you for not giving much thought."
After finishing that thought Sento begins to yawn, the day seemingly catching up to him." Oh well, I gotta find a place to sleep, I wonder if the girls found somewhere to lie down as well." He then waves goodbye to his boss, and begins to walk away.
"Sento… tell me, what do you want to be?"
He stops in his tracks, thinking for a while. He turns around to face Makarov.
"There's… a place I want to go to."
He looks down at his feet, thinking about…
… the years he spent in that place.
"To be honest, I can go there and enter anytime I want, but… I want to enter there correctly."
"A person very important to me, asked a lot of people to help me hone all my skills, some were happy, others were obligated to, some were irritated but did it anyway out of respect for him."
" I spent a long time waiting to go outside, an acquaintance helped with that, and I expected to go at this alone, but I ended up with the others."
"So you think you don't belong in this place?"
"I don't, I never should have been there in the first place, hell, I even left the place without doing it normally."
He turns once more, facing away from him." I want to earn my place there, properly, no lucky shots, just the weight of my efforts."
I also don't want to deal with everyone's disappointment, I can't escape them twice."
"And how does one do that?"
Sento debates whether or not to tell.
"By being a hero, to cement myself in history itself."
Makarov only stares, as if he was stuck in time."I… see." He finally mutters.
"I… don't know what place would require you to do that, but if you do plan to walk down this path, Fairy Tail will always lend you a hand, if things get too hard, or if you want to stop, we will gladly be behind you every step of the way."
A small chuckle emerges from Sento's lips." That's it?"
"We all walk different paths, as long as you remember the journey from start to finish, even a retailer's life can be meaningful."
…
…
…
"Heheheh, hehehehehehe"
Sento starts laughing a little, he then walks away, his laughter rising.
"Guess it is just like that." Sento heads towards a wall and begins to climb it, reaching the roof, the moon is now rising from the horizon.
"No matter, even if I am all alone."
"I'll beat this crazy world one way or another."
