[Fire Warp] Physically appearing in the middle of the forest, she let go of him and he fell onto his hands and knees as he desperately tried inhaling.
Not able to inhale his lungs stopped working, what she had done was dangerous, because that phyric travel technique wasn't meant to transport people, and even if it was, he wasn't given time to prepare.
Seeing him like this she slapped his back and a strong force of air inhaled into his lungs,
*HHHHHHHHHAAAAA*
*Coughing*
As he was able to breathe again, he started coughing and his entire body was thrown into a set of disorders because of Mary.
"I brought you out here because we have a problem, and I can't let the villagers see you like this"
Turning his head to her, "By doing this! Are you crazy!" even though he had a point, she believed herself to be in the right,
And as she looked at him and noticed that his visible tail had thrashed against the ground, showing her that he was angry, she clicked her tongue and said,
"Your curse seems to have gotten stronger, the beast in you is showing more"
This talk wasn't needed in the slightest, she was so in her own head thinking that he'd find out that he was a Demon that she overreacted just because his eyes changed, which weren't even that important or noticeable since many people had red-colored eyes,
But then again, even if she didn't overreact about them, people with red eyes usually we're heretics who used Evil Arts, so to keep face and respect in her clan, she needed to cover this up.
Yes, she needed to hide it all. Even if he was to find out he's a Demon, no one else can know or she'll be ruined.
She had changed since his death and revival, but not by much, her thought of mind stayed the same for the most part, and looking at him, he had too many flaws.
She couldn't accept it.
And because he couldn't meet her expectations, she had only one solution to it.
Cut off his tail to make him seem human again. Use brown contacts and enhance them with magic to make his eyes look like how they should be. And as for his occasional fangs and claws,
She would use seal magic, using mark-like seals to stop any transformation capabilities in those places where he could shift and transform.

As Hiro wasn't mad anymore, he was holding onto a tree as he threw up some more, because the suffocation and warping truly has made him nauseous.
But as he was over there doing that, she decided that mother knows best and she took matters into her own hands because...
Looking at him, looking at her son, what she had truly felt at this moment was disgust, she couldn't let anyone in the clan or kingdom find out about what her son was.
She was going to hide it, she was going to hide all of him.
"Hiro, I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that, I wasn't thinking... I'm sorry"
Hearing her from behind him as she walked up to him, she placed her hand on his shoulder as he sickly pressed against the tree, and as he heard her in a motherly voice, he didn't utter a word, he was still trying to hold down the remains of his stomach.
"However, that curse of yours is getting out of hand, there was another change, and even another, which makes you seem more beastly and monster like"
"I want the best for you and I remember that you wanted a normal life right?"
"But you can't have that if you return like this, and I want you to have a normal life, after all, I'm your mother and a mother wants the best for her kids"
"So I don't want you to go back and have nothing, no friends, no life, just slayer this and that, and only us"
"So I'm going to help you, it's going to be painful, but trust me, I want to help you"
"The only question now is, will you let me help you"
However he didn't have a choice, he never had a choice, she was going to do it with or without his consent,
It was either her son or herself, HIM or the CLAN!
And she chose herself and the clan...
She didn't choose him.
And fate fucked him over... Because he believed her, he believed her all the way and thought he didn't like his mom that much, he believed she had changed, and that she was a better person.
But Love and Deception always intertwine and rarely mix...
*SLASH*
*SIZZLE*
* * *7 hours later* * *
Returning to the village his tail was missing, his eyes brown, as she had her ways, and 3 invisible markings on both his hands for his claws and one on his tongue to stop his teeth from being fanged.
He was unconscious and she was carrying him, cutting off his tail was so painful and difficult because it took more than one slice to cut off his tail.
It was like cutting through bone and after taking it off, from almost the base of where it was, he collapsed before he could bandage himself up.
However just because he lost conciseness didn't mean she had to stop, she continued but now she didn't have to deal with him being a pain in her ass.
. . . . .
Taking him into the inn and laying him on his bed before the others came back, she actually smiled.
And she smiled with satisfaction as she looked at him,
"You did great today, even though you aren't like your sister and skilled in sorcery. I'm just glad to have you back, my normal, human, son"
She didn't know a lot about her kids, she made assumptions since they were young, him the failure of the Natsu clan and his sister being the prodigy of their clan.
But that didn't matter anymore, what mattered to her now was still the clan and everything since it was her everything.
But also that her "normal-ish" human son was back, and she was finally satisfied with him, even if she saw him as a talentless boy.
* * * *Earlier that day* * * *
There was an assembly early that morning, and as everyone in the university was there, the headmaster of the university took the stage and without hesitation, he yelled into the microphone.
"Everyone listen up because today you and your classes will receive their first mission! A hoard of monsters are heading to Sekouko village as we speak! And it's your job to eliminate that hoard and rescue the villagers!!!"
He left the entire crowd of students, teachers, and official slayers speechless and stunned.
