Lucy's Test

"Your tests are pretty simple~ you just need to accept Misla's short test of courage and strength," Xin said.

"Why?"

"You want to get her approval right? Getting her key is an easy task but you need to prove yourself if you want to become her partner."

Xin took the key from her key holder and open the door of Leo.

"Open the Gate of Celestial Lion: Leo"

"ROAR!"

A crystal door appeared in front of Lucy, then it slowly opened, they heard a thunderous roar of a Lion and slowly a being came out from the gate.

Misla then comes out following a giant lion behind her.

A giant lion with a jewel on its forehead. It has a large body that is about four to five meters tall.

"Are you going to start, Young master?" Misla asked.

Xin nodded.

"T-Take care of me Miss Misla." Lucy said.

"Don't be nervous, Lucy, my test is not hard at all." Misla said, trying to confront Lucy with her soothing voice.

And it seemed her voice worked, Lucy's nervous face finally calmed down, she then took a deep breath and nodded.

"Let's start, I'm ready."

"Good, my test is pretty simple, just like Youngmaster said, I will test your courage and strength," Misal said.

"But I'm not strong."

"The test of strength did not mean raw strength, what i want you to show is your strength of will, understand?"

"Lucy didn't understand what she was talking about but still she nodded.

"By the way, this is Regulus, he will help me to test you so he will become your partner today."

"Regulus?" Lucy looks at the giant lion behind Misla and feels that this lion doesn't look like one, it is more like a lazy cat than a lion.

Misla then commands Regulus what he needs to do, after giving the command, Rugulsu then walks on a flat rock a couple of feet away from them and lies down.

"Your test is to walk towards Regulus and touch the gem on his forehead," Misla said.

"That's all?"

Misla nodded and walked in the middle raising her hand." You have only a limited time to complete this test, if the sun rises down your test is going to finish whatever you want it to be ready."

"I'm ready!"

"Before i forgot, you can use your Celestial Key to help you, that is also part of your ability."

Lucy nodded.

"Then, let's start!"

Lucy hurries and starts to run but tremendous pressure suddenly pressing her knee to hit the ground.

"W-What!!"

"Lion's Pride Armor ( Full Plate Armor ), Lion's Sin of Pride ( Divine Ax Rhitta )"

"Boom!"

A golden armor appears in Misla's body, a lion head pauldron, lion face in the chest, and a gold cloak behind.

While a Golden Ax drops from the sky, the scorching heat around them starts to suck by the Ax from a visible rate.

Everyone is suddenly hit by scorching heat coming from Misla, she is just standing there watching Lucy while everyone feels something heavy pressing on their chest.

"What a monster," Makarov said. Even he can feel his blood boiling just from the scorching heat blown by the wind. Some even start to sit hard while others are having a hard time taking tests.

And that is Gray who felt he was ice being met by a scorching flame.

"Lucy stand up, if you want to use me, you need to have the courage and strength to stand up and face my trial."

"Use your ability, Lucy, don't be scared you can do it." Xin said while sitting on a chair while eating icy-cold watermelon.

Erza and Knightwalker nodded while eating beside him, Mira is also beside him while watching Xin's unique test.

Lucy takes out one of her keys and finally summons one of her celestial spirits and uses her own sweat as a medium to summon.

"Open the Gate of "The Water Bearer" Aquarius

A huge amount of water suddenly gushes out from a puddle of sweat and a spirit finally comes out.

Aquarius resembles a royal blue mermaid. She has a long, blue fish-tail, light blue hair that reaches up to her waist, and a large bust. She has blue eyes that seem to have no pupils. Aquarius wears a revealing dark blue bikini top and on each arm, she has a golden armlet and bracelet.

Aquarius also has a circlet, three piercings on her tail, and a golden belt at her waist and light blue crystal earrings. A dark blue tattoo resembling the Aquarius zodiac symbol rests right under her collarbone.

Aquarius also wields an urn that acts as the basis of the Water Magic she employs in battle.

"Disgusting! How can you summon me from your own sweat!" Aquarius angrily said but seeing Lucy who was having a hard time made her realize that her partner was in danger.

"Help me."

"Tssk! I will help you this time but remember, I don't want you to use any kind of water except seawater or freshwater!"

"I don't want to summon the inside of a bowl someday, from a puddle of blood or from spit!"

"Okay."

Aquarius then looked at Misla who smiled softly towards them, she seriously said," Lucy, what kind of trouble did you make, how can you prove that kind of monster!"
