Chapter 30: Canon Starts

Hargeon Town, July 2, X784

A young woman was walking out of a store with a grumpy expression. She looked to be around 17 years of age. She has brown eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair that is usually tied by ribbons in a variety of colors in a small ponytail to the right side of her head with the rest of the hair loose. She was buxom and had a curvaceous body that will make any guy want to ogle at it.

"Tch… that pervert old geezer only gave me 1000 Jewels discount. Does he mean to say that my sex appeal was only worth 1000 Jewels." said the girl in frustration walking along the streets.

On the way, she saw a bunch of girls surrounding a guy in adoration. She got interested in seeing the person and went near them.

She saw a handsome guy surrounded by a bunch of fangirls. But, when she saw him, it instantly captured her attention. Her heart started beating rapidly, and she started feeling an unfamiliar feeling building inside her, which urged her to follow him. The charm spell hidden in the magic rings that the guy was wearing did their work without her knowledge.

When the guy turned around and gave her a dazzling smile, she was smitten. She doesn't understand why she was feeling attracted to a person she just met.

'Why is my heart beating so fast? Is that what they call love at first? But isn't this a bit too soon?' thought the young woman placing her hands in her chest. She can feel her rapidly beating heart.

When she was about to head toward the guy, someone placed their hands on her shoulders, turning her around. She was instantly distracted, and the charm spell was canceled, making her regain her sanity.

"Don't get captivated by him. He's just using a disgusting charm spell to attract the women." whispered a voice near her ears. When she turned around, she saw a handsome guy around her age with a severe face. But, the most eye-catching thing about the boy was his hair. It was dazzling pink, which is a unique hair color in Fiore.

She was surprised by listening to his words but got disgusted later. Any guy that uses such a spell to attract a woman is never up to anything good.

She nodded her head understanding his concern and looked toward the popular guy in disgust. All her favorable impression toward him instantly crumbled after listening to pink-haired boy's words.

Natsu smiled, watching this and said in a low voice. "That's good then. He's called Bora of Prominence. He was kicked out of his guild called Titan Nose for illegal activities. I guess he's here to capture these women to sell them as a slave."

She was shocked hearing this and thanked god that Natsu was here to warn her. Otherwise, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her.

"Thank you very much for the warning," said her in a low voice. She has a sincere expression thanking Natsu.

"Don't worry about such a small matter. I'm Natsu Dragneel by the way. It's nice to meet you. I wish we meet each other in a rather suitable situation than this." said Natsu with a wide grin dazzling her.

She quickly regained her composure and introduced herself in a Nobel manner. "Nice to meet you as well."

She hesitated a bit and continued. "I'm Lucy, by the way."

Natsu smiled, hearing her introduction and said seriously. "You have a nice name. We can talk later. I need to take care of this criminal in front of me first."

Lucy was surprised at watching his serious expression. But, she couldn't stop herself from asking him out of worry. "Are you sure about it? He's a mage and a powerful one at that. We can inform the Rune-Knights about him, and they will send someone to capture him."

"Don't worry about me. I'm a strong mage, no matter how I look. Besides, he dared to use my guild name to do his unforgivable crime. I'll show him what happens to those that mess with Fairy Tail." said Natsu, seriously displaying his guild mark.

Lucy was stunned, watching his guild emblem. He can't help herself from re-thanking the gods to let her meet one of the members of her favorite guild. She was just wondering how to join the guild, and now she got a golden opportunity in front of her.

But before she could ask him anything, Natsu already left her. He approached Bora and, without any warning, punched his stomach very hard making hi puke gastric acids out of his mouth and fly away crashing toward a nearby building.

"Ugh… Who the fxck sneak attack me. Show me your face if you're a man." said an angry Bora getting out of the rubbles. He was holding his stomach due to pain.
