Chapter 31
🕑 Added 2021-02-21 10:20:32 +0000 UTCHaving finished with the last batch of skins, the hunter got up, wiped his hands on his gray apron and said with respect:
- Nice hunting boy! Fairy Tail Mages are impressive indeed. That last year the order was perfect, that now. A couple of spoiled skins are not a problem, let's lower the price a little, I will also find a use for them. You made an order even faster than I thought, hold ... - rummaging behind the counter, the man pulled out a bundle of bills, licked his finger and counted:
- Five, ten, twenty ... Te-ex ... Here! - handed a pack of precious ones to Aidan: - Twenty-five brown is one hundred twenty-five thousand, I took three thousand from the toasted ones. So, but for the gray ones, seven pieces in total came out, they are all more or less worthy, with one I will take off a couple of thousand and it will come out ... Hmmm ...
Aidan pondered too, quickly adding in his mind:
- One hundred ... ninety thousand.
- Yeah, no, wait ... - the hunter pondered: - Well, you still dragged me wolves ... Hmm, and there are still fangs?
- Well yes.
- Okay, - the man chuckled and added more precious ones: - Here, there are two hundred.
Aidan took the money and left quietly. He didn't argue about the value of the tusks or anything, he didn't care anymore. He simply sent the hunter to Makarov so that he could negotiate with him. He already wanted to just wash and finally have a rest at least this day, and only then take on further plans. With two hundred thousand precious ones, you can find housing and relax for a while.
After rinsing in the nearest bath, Aidan returned to the guild. Immediately, he noticed Kanu and Gray talking nearby, and not so far from them Erza thoughtfully examined the task board. The master was nowhere to be seen, and Natsu had disappeared somewhere. The guild, as usual, was noisy and most of them were uselessly fermenting, before Aidan had time to smile, Wendy ran up to him and hugged her brother with all her might.
- You're back!
- Well, what, I only went away for a few hours, how are you doing in Fairy Hills?
- Well ... - the girl glanced displeasedly in the direction of Cana, and then Erza:
- I'd rather live with you ...
Aidan smiled.
- I'm a homeless sister, but you know ... - picking up Wendy in his arms, Aidan sat the baby down at the table, and he sat down next to her and hugged her: - I plan to build myself a house, but for now I'll live in some apartment. And you are already an adult, you know ...
- Uh ... - Wendy became sad: - Okay ...
Aidan laughed and gently ruffled the little sorceress's blue hair.
- I promise, as soon as I have my own house, you can immediately move to me!
- True?! - Wendy's eyes sparkled happily: - You promised!
- Yeah ...
Before Aidan had time to chat with his sister, two people came up to their table.
- What are we chatting about? Cana asked and sat down next to Wendy. Gray sat down opposite and greeted.
- How about Aid's mission?
- Not bad, I think I will find something else for the next couple of months ... But it's tomorrow.
Gray nodded and immediately asked:
- Your ice ... What is this magic?
- Well ... - Aidan didn't know whether to say, but so he thought about it and decided that this was nothing special.
“I'm the Ice God Slayer.
Cana and Gray instantly changed their faces, even the surrounding magicians fell silent and stared in amazement at the extreme table. Aidan just sighed and said loudly:
- Yes, you heard right, why are you so surprised?
- Wait ... You said you were God Slayer? Macao intervened and asked in amazement, "Natsu is a Dragon Slayer, but ... What kind of a God Slayer is this?"
There was no master in the guild, so no one could accurately answer the question, even Aidan just shrugged his shoulders and replied:
- I myself don't know, I believe in dragons more than in gods, but in our world anything can happen ... I just know the name of my magic and that's it.
- Yeah ... - everyone sighed, not knowing how to react.
- Now it is clear why your ice is so ... - Gray grinned and shook his head: - I thought so ... So that's the thing.
- Hey, I don’t understand, what is this bunch here ?! Natsu grumbled, pushing the surrounding crowd aside. The guy looked at everyone in bewilderment. Surprised by Erza, Kana, Gray and others, and then stopped at Aidan and asked:
- What is it with them?
But before he had time to receive an answer, Gray rose and said resolutely:
- Then let's compare our ice!
Surprised glances immediately settled on the boy, Natsu laughed like that and pointed a finger at his friend:
- Gray, ha! You didn't freeze your brains there? I'll be the one to swing with Aid!
- Don't bother Natsu! - Gray dismissed and still looked seriously at the calm opponent. At that moment, Erza wanted to interrupt them, but immediately stopped as soon as Aidan got up and grinned hard.
- Second day - second battle! Yes, I'm snapped up!
- Wait! - Kane frowned and interfered with displeasure: - Maybe stop these your boyish habits? Solve it all right!
- No Kahn, - Gray chuckled: - This is a duel of ice wizards, we will compare our skills.
- You understand that I have an advantage? - Aidan asked immediately: - My magic is many times more dangerous than ordinary ice. It's called the magic of the Assassins for a reason, Gray. But, this is not the most dangerous, for you I am the worst enemy. Any of your ice is just food for me, just like fire is for Natsu.
Gray, it seems, understood everything and instantly darkened:
- So ... - the guy clenched his fists: - Well ... Not very honest. What kind of magic is this?
Aidan saw the ice wizard's determination, so he just sighed and nodded.
- What really is ... If you feel better, we will fight!
Gray gritted his teeth and sighed, then shook his head.
- Not now, - but the guy immediately raised his serious look and said: - But, don't think that your ice will always remain the strongest!
- Then let's fight! - Aidan immediately supported. Fullbuster seemed to realize that he had little chance now. This is understandable, because he could not defeat Erza either. Of course, the battle of the ice wizards is different, but if Aidan can really eat ice, there is no point in fighting him at all. At least for now, there is no action plan yet!
Everything was resolved without unnecessary fights, Gray left, as usual, to argue with Natsu in the yard, and Aidan decided to look after himself a new task. Erza took Wendy away somewhere and will probably insist on her teaching the path of the sword again. Perhaps that is why the young sorceress wanted to hide behind her brother's back.
Looking for a worthy goal, the guy noticed several interesting ones. First of all, he did not want to go now, yet in the coming days he was interested in at least some housing, and only then the task. And he wanted to spend at least a week in Fairy Tail's library, and only then go somewhere. So he stood at the blackboard to look at something for the future and at the same time just think. Surprisingly, the quest board did it much better than any other part of the guild, it was a pity that there was no drink. After a bloody night, it would be very helpful.
