Chapter 53. Visiting Fairy Tail.

The next day, he stood at Magnolia's gates, kissing Ultear away with a passionate kiss.

- I will miss Eros ...

- Me too, but this will not be for long, in a month I will be in Era, and we will meet there, - he said with a soft smile, stroking her cheek with tenderness.

- And just try not to come ...

- Have I ever lied to you?

Squinting, she looked into his eyes and said with an icy voice:

- If you only try to cheat on me, I will turn into an icicle!

- You know me ...

- Because I know, that's what I'm saying ... Do you think I didn't notice your glances at Virgo ?!

- She's a spirit ...

- And also a pretty girl, in your complete submission ...

- Who are you holding me for ?!

- I know that you would never do that ... But the problem is that she's all for it! She hissed angrily.

- Do not worry, I will last this month, and I will not have time for girls either ... - with a slight smile, he hugged her and kissed her again, - So do not worry.

- Okay… I'll believe you.

- That's wonderful, be careful on the way and if something happens, immediately contact me or break this brooch!

- Don't worry, I'm not weak ...

As soon as Ultear disappeared beyond the horizon, Eros sighed heavily and headed back to the guild, collect documents to create a guild, and it was also necessary to communicate with all the guild members in order to get to know them better and write them down on the guild members' form. Which will need to be provided to the council, and the titanium to pass certification for the rank. And then find a master of some bright guild that can vouch for Eros, and later collect a bunch of documents ... In general, there was a lot of work.

***

On the same day, Eros gathered all the members of the guild where he met everyone, while answering everyone's questions and collecting the necessary data.

As Rick said, there were forty-two participants in total, of which 35 were children no older than 16. And some of them had good potential, while others interested him very much, especially one of them.

A boy named Sting who was seven years old. He had spiky blonde hair and dark eyes. He was wearing a white jacket and the same pants. In him, Eros was interested not in his appearance, and not in his power as a Dragon Slayer, but in the story that he was raised by a real dragon. And Eros simply could not help but believe him, because the boy did not have the lacrima that bestowed this power, which meant that he was really taught by the dragon or he received this power in some other way.

Then Eros asked him only one question and then he understood everything. The Titan asked when he was separated from his father (the Dragon that taught him magic and raised) and his answer made Eros shudder ...

- July 7, 777, why? - and again Eros remembered the day when he felt that wave of magical power and the image of Leila emerged in his head. And everything became clear to him, the titan finally understood who this girl had summoned, but one thing remained a mystery to him, whom did she want to defeat ... Acnologia? Zeref or someone else? And how many of these children are there in this world?

But still, having understood all this, the questions did not become less, but on the contrary, only more.

Of the forty-two, Eros chose five to make an elite team, including Sting, Eric, Macbeth, Richard and Alice. Sting and Eric were the main attackers, Macbeth and Richard acting as support and ready to engage in close combat at any moment, and Alice was their sensor. The red-haired girl had a terrifying sensitivity to magical powers and she could feel any of her movements at a distance of half a kilometer, it was thanks to the Magic of Life. She also owned wind magic. Although what attracted Eros the most to her was her passion for knowledge.

Eros chose Macbeth as the leader of this team, as the most calm and balanced of them. After all, Sting and Eric were too hot-tempered, Richard had too soft a character, although Macbeth was not very different from him, but Eros was sure that he could make a worthy commander out of him. Alice was simply not interested in this position.

Eros was going to train this team personally and make it one of the pillars of the guild.

***

*Two days later.*

Eros stood in front of such a familiar guild, in which he spent a lot of time and met good people.

The titan did not want to show himself to everyone, so he put on both rings in advance and went to the guild. Walking towards Makarov's office, he recalled this place with nostalgia, occasionally dodging chairs and people flying past. Indeed, at the moment, the wizards were in the midst of a fight.

Eros smiled slightly, watching all this and reaching the old man's office, he knocked.

- Come in, - heard this voice, he opened the door and went inside, looking at Makarov's surprised face.

- Hello, master.

- This voice… Eros, is it you?

- And who else can come here so mysteriously, - having removed the ring, he appeared in front of the old man, - You have not aged a bit during these two years.

- Do not joke like that, it would be faster to retire ... - Makarov said with a heavy sigh, with a dreamy smile on his lips, - But as you can see, there is no one to entrust his post to.

- And the teacher?

The old man snorted in response.

- As soon as the conversation comes about it, it instantly evaporates.

- Yes ... It's his style, - Eros took out a bottle and put it on the table, - How about a drink and celebrate my return?

- I'm just for, at least a little rest, - putting the pen and papers aside, he took out two glasses and put them on the table, - Pour.

And as soon as both magicians were about to enjoy this wonderful drink, the door opened with a loud sound and a girl of about fourteen entered the office. She wore a dark top and matching leather shorts, supported by a white belt with an intricate buckle and thigh-high high-heeled boots. Her long white hair was tied in a ponytail.

- Master! - As soon as the old man heard this menacing voice, he choked and coughed violently, - In the morning you are already drinking, but what about your promise ?!

- Mira ... Well, this is ...? - and his gaze "caught" on Eros, - So I found this young man, he owns the same magic as you.

- Truth…? - narrowing her gaze, the girl held out, glaring at the small figure of Makarov, - And it seems to me that you just forgot ...

- Mirochka, how could I forget about you.

- That's how ... - Her pensive gaze fell on Eros.

- Master ... - Eros, who wanted to argue, suddenly froze when he saw a prayer in Makarov's eyes.

- Well, I will believe you, but ... - but before she finished, the door opened again and another girl entered the office with long scarlet hair tied in a braid, with two long strands on the sides and with bangs up to the level of her eyebrows. She was wearing a long white dress, thin armor covering the upper body, except for the head and arms, as well as a small sword at the waist tied to a leather belt. - And knock? You weren't taught this ?!

- Look who's Talking?! As if I didn't see how you entered the master's office, and rather you don't have manners, because you opened the door with a kick!

- What did you say?!

- So you are also deaf ... - Elsa replied with superiority, looking around the office and froze when she saw Eros, - It's you ... - she looked with shock directly at the titan, who understood one thing, you always need to prepare for escape and apparently Makarov this truth for a long time known, because he had already disappeared from the office for a minute and even Eros did not notice this "magical disappearance".

- Well ... Hello ... Long time no see ... - she slowly approached him, the shadow of her bangs covered his eyes and Eros could not clearly see them ... As soon as Elsa stood in front of him, she raised her hand ... But never hit.

- Why? Why did you leave so quickly and didn't even allow yourself to be thanked! - her hand, which was hanging in the air, sank down with a whip, and tears began to accumulate at the edges of her eyes.

Eros, on the other hand, was slightly addicted to this reaction, because he did not understand why she was crying. After all, the titan did not remember that they would be so close that they shed tears because of him, and they only saw each other once.

- Sorry, I was afraid that you would blame me for the death of your friend, therefore, in order not to remind you of him, I left ...

- I never blamed you for his death and you avenged Jellal, so why should I blame you?

"That's how ... Then I'm glad," he said with a soft smile.

- Thank you for saving us all! - lowering her head, exclaimed Elsa, - I am in your debt and if I somehow can repay you for everything, just tell me!

- I do not need anything, I will be glad if you just live a happy life without regretting anything.

- Since you're all… - At that moment, she grabbed Mira by the hand and led him to the exit, - Let's go!

- Hey! Where are you going ?! - Frowning, Elsa looked at her rival.

- How where ... - a satisfied grin appeared on her face, - The Master said that this guy will teach me in the magic of reincarnation, so disappear and do not bother us ... Yes ...? - pressing her cheek to his hand, she looked with superiority at the enraged Elsa.

- What?! Master! And where he?

At the same time, the named "Master" was quietly sitting on the roof of the Fairy Tail building, taking a sip of the bottle that Eros had brought.

- Learning and learning you, Eros ... - Makarov's sinister laugh sounded very frightening ...

***

- Elsa, what are you doing here? - narrowing her gaze, asked Mira, looking at her rival, who sat down on the grass nearby, watching her.

- Of course, I protect him from such a maniac like you, I can't even imagine what you can do with him if I leave you alone.

- What did you call me ?! Are you tired of living ?! - a dark magical force began to swirl around Mira's body.

- I only told the truth, but since you insist! - getting up, Elsa grabbed the handle of the blade.

- So, well enough, I don't have much free time! - both girls looked at each other with anger for another minute and turning sharply away, Mira went in the direction of Eros, Elsa continued to watch them, - Okay, let's start then, and first, show your transformation.

- I cannot fully transform yet.

- That's how ... Then we'll fix it now ...
