"Huh? Little guy, what are you doing in the guild?"
Makarov was sitting on the counter drinking wine, watching a cute little boy with black hair and golden eyes, wearing black clothes, walk up to him, put down the bottle of wine, and ask.
"I want to join Fairy Tail."
Arden looked at Makarov and said, "I hope you can agree."
Makarov laughed, and Arden's words also made many people who heard them laugh.
"Hahahaha, little guy, this is not a place to play house and drink, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Makarov saw Arden's calm eyes with a hint of determination. His original laughter stopped, and his face became heavy. He looked at Arden and asked, "Where is your family?"
"They're all dead."
Arden looked at Makarov and said calmly: "My hometown is Rosemary Village. It seems to have been attacked. The whole village disappeared. I hid in a dry well and survived, but my head seemed to be injured. I can't remember what happened before.
Then I left the village and walked all the way to here by boat, and then I wanted to find a place to live and solve my future life."
Arden's tone was calm, but the words he spoke made people gasp.
"Rosemary Village? I remember it seems to be very far away from Magnolia. How can this kid come here?"
"The most important thing is that there are rumors that the village seems to have been attacked by a Dark Guild. If this kid can survive, he is lucky."
"Another poor little guy, President, can you take him in?"
Makarov glanced at these people, and they all stopped speaking.
"Have you lost your memory?"
Makarov looked at Arden and asked.
"Maybe?."
Arden remained calm and then said to Makarov: "I can do magic, and I am also very strong, so I want to join Fairy Tail. I can complete the task, and I need money to survive, so please, let me Stay."
Makarov looked at the anxiety in Arden's eyes and sighed slightly in his heart. He suddenly stretched out his hand, and his palm became larger, and covered Arden's head. He said, "Don't be so anxious. If you want to stay, then just Stay. But if you want to work, wait until you grow up."
As he spoke, he rubbed Arden's head. Makarov was full of kindness at this moment. He would never see his child suffer.
Arden knew that he had passed Makarov's inspection and joining the Fairy Tail Guild was a certainty.
However, when he raised his head, two tears flowed down unconsciously in his eyes.
"Well?"
Arden was a little strange. He obviously didn't feel any discomfort, so why did he shed tears?
Is it the subconscious mind of this body? Or is it an instinctive reaction of the body?
Arden didn't know, but he quickly wiped away his tears with his hands and said dissatisfied: "No! I'm very strong! I want to work, I want to make money!"
"Hahahaha, Nab, look at him, I know I didn't have to work at such a young age."
"Shut up, I'm looking for a mission that only I can accomplish!"
Nab, who was dressed like an Indian, protested and still lingered in front of the commission board.
"Don't worry, little one."
Makarov patted Arden on the head and said with a smile: "There will be a chance, but your task now is to eat well and grow up well. Tell me first, what is your name."
"I don't know my previous name. Now I have named myself Arden Solis."
Arden raised his head and said seriously: "I am really strong! My magic is Take Over magic, I can Take Over the soul of heroic spirits!"
"Is that so, Arden? It's good to have Take Over magic, but now, your body is still growing, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Makarov said with a smile, then reached out and carried Arden to the counter, and said to Arden: "Since you want to join Fairy Tail, I must first stamp you with a guild seal. What color do you like and where should it be stamped? ?"
"Gold, I want to cover my heart."
Arden pulled his collar, revealing his chest full of ribs.
Looking at Arden's exposed body, Makarov's eyes softened.
'Arden must have suffered a lot along the way.'
With this thought emerging, Makarov took action himself, picked up the guild seal, changed the color, and stamped it on Arden's heart.
Seeing that a Fairy Tail magic mark was left there, Makarov touched Arden's head and said, "Okay, now you are also a member of Fairy Tail!"
"Um."
Arden responded and pulled up his clothes: "Thank you, Grandpa, I'm going to work."
After saying that, Arden jumped off the counter and prepared to check out the order board.
But when he was about to leave, he was grabbed by Makarov's big hand.
"Arden, take a good rest first."
Makarov asked the waiter to prepare a piece of food for Arden and then said to Arden "Since you said you are strong, then let's compete with a member of our guild. If you can defeat him\her, I will let you go. Work, okay?"
"All right."
Arden was a little discouraged. Although Makarov meant well, if he didn't have a stable income to draw cards, it would be very difficult for him to improve his strength.
but...
After scooping a mouthful of seafood fried rice and putting it into his mouth, Arden looked at Makarov.
As long as you can defeat the contestant, you can accept the commission and go out to work!
With this thought in mind, Arden speeded up and finished a plate of seafood fried rice quickly, then picked up the juice and drank it in a gulp.
With a wipe of his mouth, Arden ran up to Makarov and said, "Grandpa, I'm ready!"
Makarov looked at Arden, who was eager to try. He touched his beard and said, "Tuno, come and compete with Arden. You are a light mage and not very powerful, so don't hurt the child."
"Okay, Master."
Following Makarov's words, a man with a straight face and glasses stood up.
Wearing a T-shirt and shorts, he was extremely ordinary, with nothing eye-catching about him. Arden thought carefully for a moment, but could not find any information about this person in his mind.
It is estimated that this guy should also serve as a background board in the plot.
"Then let's begin!"
Arden looked at Tuono who stood up, without saying a word, his body flashed with light, and the next moment he transformed into the image of Inuyasha.
"Whole body reception? So fast."
Makarov watched Arden complete the reception instantly and nodded in his heart.
Being able to complete full body acceptance at such a young age, with such a talent, he is definitely a good prospect.
Because of this, Makarov didn't want Cheng Feng to go to work so early.
After all, children still need to have a better childhood in order to heal the wounds in their hearts!
