(Harukin's POV)
- Fairy Tail World -
------A day later, Kurumi and I went to Fairy Tail World for a date.
I guess she wants to go in a different places not just on her home world.
Right now, we are standing at the shore of Akane Beach in Fiore.
Kurumi moved in front as she face me.
She was in her spirit form.
"Shouta-kun, I want to see your guild. Let's go there."
She looks excited.
"Sure... I'll teleport you there."
"Yay! In the entrance of Magnolia town, okay?"
She looks happy becoming a little bit childish--
"Huh?"
....
No! Not the entrance gate of that town! It's embarrassing!
"Ummm... Kurumi? I think it's more convenient if we directly teleport to the guild?"
"No, I want to see town from the outside view." she responded with a smile.
But something was off.
"Can we just--"
"Entrance of the town, Harukin."
She grinned showing me her mischievous expression.
(Img<<<)
"I want to see something interesting."
...
I knew it! She wants to see the town activate the Harukin Shift! She was even aware about that.
---
- Magnolia Town -
By teleporting, we arrived at the entrance of the town.
Entering the entrance gate,
"Huh?"
No one was reacting when they saw me.
"Strange... they should be already surrounded us when they saw you Shouta-kun."
*Sigh*
I sighed in relief seeing they're not activating it.
"Too bad Kurumi--"
"EVERYONE! HARUKIN IS HERE!"
Kurumi yelled alerting the guards.
"What?! He's here!"
The gatekeepers became agitated when they heard my name.
Kurumi turned towards me,
"Ufufu..." she giggled having fun teasing me.
"I'm gonna punish you after this, Kurumi."
"Ara, are you sure about that? If I get pregnant, things will become harder for you since we're going to have a magical child after this quest. But I don't really mind... it's your decision."
...
*Ring!* *Ring!* *Ring!*
The sound of the bells ringing around the town and flying microphones are telling everyone that Magnolia is activating the Harukin Shift and order everyone to go to their designated places.
The whole city moves and shifts its position, making a clear and straight path for me leads to Fairy Tail Guild building.
"This suits you now since you have now the power to destroy the world. Ufufu..."
*Sigh*
I sighed as Kurumi grabbed my hand and excitedly pulled me,
"Let's go, Shouta-kun! I want to meet your family and friends here."
"Sure... I'll introduce you to them."
I responded with a smile to her.
Scratching the back of myself head,
"Yare yare daze..."
---
Arriving in front of the guild,
...
I have a bad feeling that someone will ambush me when I enter the guild.
Probably Natsu or Gray...
"Kurumi, stay behind me."
"Okay..."
I went ahead and enter the guild,
"You idiots!"
"Ehh?"
"Waaaaaaaah!"
I saw Natsu and Gray flying towards me.
Both of them crashed on me.
"Ugh!"
"Hey! Erza, that's hurts!" Natsu sat up and complained.
"She doesn't know how to hold back." Gray was naked massaging his head in pain.
"Huh?"
The two of them noticed me.
"It's been a while, you two..."
...
"Do you know him, Natsu?"
"I don't... Who is he?"
"Natsu! Gray!"
A wild angry Erza appeared before us.
"Hie!"
The two of them got frightened.
"How many times--Huh?"
Erza noticed me.
"Erza!"
Kurumi went towards her.
"Kurumi?"
"What going on over there?"
Mirajane came out.
"Oh, Mirajane."
"Kurumi, you came."
"Yeah, I brought Harukin here just like you asked me."
Erza and Mirajane held her hand with gratitude.
"Thank you, Kurumi. Master wants to talk with him." Erza said with happy smile.
"That's right, it's been a long time since Harukin came back and a lot of things has already happened here." Mirajane nodded.
I was surprised by what they said,
"Kurumi don't tell me!"
Kurumi gave me wry smile,
"Sorry, Shouta-kun... I'll be hanging out with Erza and Mirajane for now. You should at least say hi to your guildmates."
...
"Erza and Mirajane, let's go! I want to see the specialties of this town."
The three girls left us alone in front of the guild entrance.
"Kurumi..."
Standing up, I noticed Natsu and Gray are staring at me suspiciously.
Taking off my eye patch, showing them the birthmark below my right eye.
"Harukin? Is that you? Why is your hair blonde?" Gray asked as he tried to recognize me.
"Eh? Really? Isn't he too big from the last time we saw him?" Natsu was confused.
Taking a deep breath.
*Poof!*
I returned back to my real form which is a child just like them.
"?!?"
They were surprised.
"Sorry... A lot of things happened and my hair became pure blonde because of some magic."
"Oh..."
"Then Harukin... it's been a while, let's fight!"
Natsu asked me warming up his arm by spinning it around.
I looked at him with squinted eyes,
"Natsu... Aren't you tired of losing?"
"No! I will not give up until I defeated you!"
He furiously yelled while pointing at me.
*Sigh*
Sighing,
"Gray, is gramps inside?"
"He's talking with Gildarts right now inside."
"Oh, thanks... Gray."
Glancing at Natsu,
"Sorry Natsu, but I have something to talk with gramps right now. Maybe later."
I turned around and entered the guild.
"Wait! Harukin!"
Seeing everyone around, it's seems like they're rejoicing my arrival.
"The youngest S-Class has arrived!"
"Wooah!"
I just smiled seeing them celebrating,
"It just been four months since I didn't show up and you guys are already getting rowdy."
I saw Gramps sitting on the bar counter together with Gildarts.
When Gramps saw me, he raised hand and waved at me.
"Oh, Harukin... just like Erza and Mirajane said, you really changed a lot specially that hair of yours."
"Yeah, Gramps... I was really busy these past few weeks that I didn't have any time to drop by here."
I went towards them and sat beside Gildarts at the counter.
"Hey, Harukin... I heard from Mirajane herself that you two are dating now."
....
He glanced, giving me an annoying grin and tapped my back several times,
"Now, not only your dating Erza but also Mirajane. What a lady-killer! Pyu~ Pyu~ I'm so jealous."
He's making fun me with his annoying expression but I have nothing to say about that since this world doesn't have polygamy except on some royalties.
"I'm still nothing compare to you." I replied drinking the juice prepared to me by the waitresses.
"Ehh... Last time you told me that you have more than five girlfriends. Now, how many are they this time?"
Yunyun, Nee-san, Erza, Akane, Wiz, Krul, Lalatina, Hinagiku, Aqua, Gaia, Reginleif, Kurumi, Akame, Esdeath, Mirajane...
I haven't confirmed yet with Kaede, Eris, Komi-san and Chelsea so I won't count them yet.
"Currently fifteen including Erza and Mirajane..." I whispered to them.
Gramps was completely shock as he shivered spilling his drink.
Gildarts' cheek twitched hearing the numbers,
"That's quite a lot Harukin..."
With me looking down,
"I can't helped it... It was inevitable." I said with dejected tone.
...
Suddenly, I remembered
"That's right, Gramp! Erza and Mirajane told me that you're looking for me."
...
Old man Makarov was silent for a moment then he glanced at me with serious expression.
"Harukin... Mystogan reported to me that there are some strange movements in the Alvarez Empire. Seems like they are preparing for something with their army."
My eyes widened slightly in surprised,
"Is that so? There are really planning to invade Ishgar. I think they will attempt to do that next year."
"What do you think we should do?"
I smiled,
"Nothing... Let's just leave it to the Magic Council to deal with them. They have Etherion, right? That should be enough make Alvarez Empire retreat their forces." I shrugged my shoulders, saying it to them with care free tone.
"I see..."
Drinking all my remaining juice drink,
"Ahhh~ Gramps, is that all? There's more, right?"
"Yeah, it's about you being a S-Class Mage. There are still some people doubting your ability. They were complaining about you not going under S-Class promotion trial and get promoted out of nowhere which is totally unfair to others. Well... it's my fault doing this without your consent."
"Pffffft!" I chuckled.
"What's funny Harukin?"
Gramps and Gildarts are confused by my reactions.
"It's nothing... Is just that... I already predicted that this is going to happen after you did that out of nowhere."
...
"But I understand your reason Gramps... It must be that one time when the guild is running out of quest jobs because of me completing multiple quest very fast. You have no other choice but to promote me to S-Class mage quickly before it's to late causing unemployment in the guild. That way, S-Class or Higher jobs will be available to me." I followed.
"Ugh!" Master Makarov groaned.
"Hahaha! You had it hard Master." Gildarts laughed at him.
"He really got me..."
"What are we going to do Master? I don't really mind getting demoted."
"No, we're gonna conduct another trial just for you."
"When? I'm sorry but I have to go back in another world by sunset. Thanks to Kurumi that I was able to visit here today."
"Okay... I guess we have no other choice."
Master Makarov glanced at Gildarts.
"Huh?"
*Sigh*
Then Gildarts sighed,
"Guess... there's no other choice."
---
Outside, not far from Magnolia Town near the forest, Gildarts and I stretching our body.
"It's been a while since when we faced each other, Gildarts."
"Well... This is the only way to erase the doubt of others and accept you as a real S-Class mage. Because last time we fought, you cheated."
"Hahahaha! Don't worry, I don't need to do that anymore."
Fellow guild members are watching from the sideline.
Master Makarov walked between us as referee.
"This fight is a reevaluation of Harukin CrimsonDemon as S-Class mage. Now, this is going to be his official S-Class Promotion trial. If he wins, he retain his position as an Elite S-Class mage. But if he lose, he will demoted to an ordinary mage."
The guild members who's watching talks around about what Gramps just said.
I noticed that Erza and Mirajane together with Kurumi are watching too.
I smiled and waved at them.
I also felt a lot of glares from the male guild members.
"Gildarts! Harukin! Are you two ready?" Master Makarov glanced at each of us.
"Yes!" both of us responded.
"Gildarts! Win or lose, I'll give you some high quality booze again from another world."
"Oh, I'll looking forward to it again. The last one was really good."
...
"Now, let the S-Class mage promotion trial, begin!"
I quickly dashed forward, imbuing my fist with Quake-Quake fruit and a bubble covered my fist.
Gildarts was surprised seeing my new ability and imbued his fist with crash magic.
We slammed our fist and it collides with each other.
*Byouk!*
A crack spreading fast around my fist.
*Briuuu~*
The ground started to tremble.
Crack also spreading on the ground below my feet while on Gildarts' side was slowly turning into small cube like pieces.
*Crash!*
A powerful shockwave pushed us away from each other.
Gildarts was grinning,
"Looks like you gain a new ability, Harukin."
"Yeah, I'll be only using this ability against you."
We changed at each other, throwing our fist.
