Chapter 11

A few hours later, the four mages had already arrived at Magnolia.

- This is Magnolia, isn't it? - Eros exclaimed in surprise.

Magnolia is a city located in the southernmost part of the Fiore Kingdom, The city has a population of around 60,000 inhabitants. Most of the inhabitants are involved in trade, so the city has been prosperous since ancient times.

Magnolia possesses a large development zone spread across a large, rectangular surface on the shores of Lake Scyliora. Dividing the town vertically and horizontally is a series of large roads. All places are Western-style and strongly reminiscent of the Middle Ages.

- Surprised, aren't you? - Makarov laughed proudly.

- Yes, it's very beautiful here, it feels like the city is overflowing with magic... - Eros said with a slight smile on his lips, covering his eyes.

As they walked through the city, the titan saw many shops with all sorts of items, from the most common eateries, to shops selling magical goods. In one of the shops, he also saw liquorice, just like the one Polushka had given him, but the price surprised him. After all, while he was healing, Eros tried to understand the economy, and also asked Polushka about rewards for tasks, prices for different goods, etc. So when he saw the price of 500,000 precious, he experienced a slight shock, but quickly pulled himself together.

- Lacrimas, I wonder? - Makarov smiled, - Quite a useful thing, but not cheap, - he pointed at the transparent one, - This is a Mana Store, mages usually call it that, because it is most often used to provide Magic Power to all sorts of buildings that work on magic or during rituals, both the price and the demand for them is not small.

- Really?

- Yes," he pointed to another red coloured lacrima with a fire pattern, "This is a Heat Lacrima, I use it mostly at home, it spreads warm or hot air... It's a handy thing.

- I see, thanks for the explanation.

- You're welcome, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

- I will.

So stealthily, they approached a large three-storey building. The roof of the building is brown in colour and made of wooden slabs. The very appearance of the roof is simple curved ledges protruding upwards at the corners of the building. The very top roof has a simple, round and pointed dome that has a flag on it. There is a plaque above the entrance to the building. It bears the name of the Fairy Tail Guild in purple, and the plaque itself is dark in colour, with a pair of carved fairies at its ends. The windows of the guild are located on each floor and are shaped like pentagons.

- This is it... - Makarov exclaimed proudly, - Tail Fairy Guild Buildings.

- Quite extravagant," Eros said with a smile as he looked round the building.

- We were surprised the first time too," Rani said.

- Well, enough standing at the entrance, let's go in, - Makarov approached the guild doors, lifted his foot and kicked them ... - WHAT THE FUCK! ARE YOU WAITING?!

- MASTER! WELCOME BACK!

- Master, that's him, isn't it? Yes? - exclaimed one of the mages and everyone's attention focused on Eros.

- Yes! - smirked Makarov, and the titan felt something wrong, but it was too late to run away, because in the next moment he was surrounded.

- Hey, is it true that you saved all those kids? - one excited girl asked, looking at the figure of Eros with shining eyes.

- Um, it is, but I wasn't alone....

- He's also so modest! - exclaimed the other girl, and clasped the titan with joy....

- Hey! He's not just yours! Give him to us too! - shouted the other girl, taking Eros and pressing his face into her breast.

Of course, the titan was happy to have female attention, especially from such pretty girls, but when you're literally being strangled, it's hard to call it "nice".

- What a handsome boy, let me hug him too!

While the girls were "choking" Eros, the male half gathered ten metres away and looked enviously at this "child abuse", Rick and Roni also joined them.

- Stop it! - shouted Makarov, giving a small part of his magic power, - You'll have fun later!

- Yes!" the girls exclaimed merrily, and Eros, who was able to free himself from the "paradise embrace" for a moment, dived behind Makarov's back.

Seeing this action and the hunted look of the titan, the girls had only one thing on their minds, it was to take Eros again and squeeze him, but the latter apparently was not too interested in it, clinging like a tick to the back of the master of the Fairy Tail.

The male part of the guild was laughing at the sight of this scene.

- What do you think? - mockingly asked Makarov, looking around Eros.

- Apart from the fact that I was almost strangled, it's good, - his shoulders shook slightly when he faced the "hot" looks of the girls.

- If you don't want to join me, you'll have no shortage of girls.

- Are you kidding me? - Eros asked with a shaky voice, -If I stay here, in a couple of days, there will be an eleven year old boy's corpse lying here with signs of strangulation.

- Come on, don't get so worked up," but seeing the glittering eyes of the female half of the guild, he decided to take back his words, "Although, anything can happen.

- Master... or how should I address you? - Eros asked, embarrassed.

- If you want, you can just call me Makarov, I'm used to it.

- Alright, Makarov... It's awkward, can I call you Master....

He just laughed in response.

- All right, a master is a master. So what did you want to ask?

- Let me look into your library.

The old man looked at Eros in surprise, it was rare that anyone visited it at all, the books were mostly just gathering dust on the shelves and only the master occasionally visited it to refresh his knowledge in some aspects.

- I have nothing against it, come in whenever you want, but, - his face became serious, - Don't spoil the books and don't try to use them to make a fire!

- Was there such a thing?

Makarov's gaze fell on a few of the boys, but they only looked away in embarrassment, pretending not to notice his gaze.

- I understand," Eros replied with a shaky smile, "I'd like to know if Gildarts is in the guild. - After saying that name, everyone froze and there was silence in the hall.

- And why are you looking for him? - Makarov asked in a serious voice.

- When I was treated by Polushka... - and after this name, everyone shuddered, even the master - In general, she said that my magic is very similar to his, and if I ever meet him, then to ask for some advice or to become a student - all the girls who had been looking at Eros with shining eyes, sharply moved back ten metres, together with the guys.

- You say she looks like him?- all the fun from Makarov's voice disappeared as he looked at the boy in front of him, -Will you show me how your magic works? - In response, the titan smiled slightly and looked around him, and realising something, the master got up from his seat and walked towards the door that was next to the bar, - Follow me.

After entering the office, Makarov closed the door and at that moment a golden magic circle lit up on the floor.

- You're right," he said in a firm tone, "It's better not to show it to anyone if you don't have the strength to defend yourself. While you're still weak, they can just kidnap you and brainwash you, and then bring up weapons....

- I get it, don't continue.- If that's the case, then fine, - Makarov snapped his finger and a golden dome appeared above us, - Use your abilities.

- Yes, - a white magic circle lit up on Eros' outstretched arm and a white transparent square appeared on it, - Don't worry, I can control it.

- That's good, - nodded, he approached the cube and stretched out his arms, the magic circle lit up in front of him... - Indeed, - whispered Makarov with a slight sadness, - Almost no differences.

- That means...

- That your powers are 95% similar.

- Only 95%?

- There is no such thing as 100% identical types of magic, unless you are not related, - he looked suspiciously at Eros, - And Gildarts happens to be yours...

- I can answer with 100% certainty that he is not, - the titan cut him off at once, not letting him finish, - If so, can you tell me where Gildarts is now?

- Oh... He's on a mission right now, and I don't know when he'll be here, so you'll have to wait," Makarov had a sly smile on his face, "How about if you join the guild, I'll make Gildarts your teacher and forbid him to attend any missions until he teaches you everything he knows.

- An intriguing offer, but I'll refuse, have you given up already, eh?

- That's right," the old man said disappointedly, "With such magic, in ten years you can become God's Chosen One, and with your talent, in six or seven.

- And you value me highly.

- Right now, the strongest in the Guildarts guild.

- I know.

- He is stronger than even me, - Eros looked at Makarov in surprise, - Stronger than a master and one of the God-Elect, although now he can easily enter the top four and you should understand that a mage with the same strength, any guild will want to drag him to them, and I'm not talking about hidden organisations at all.

- I understand that you're worried about me," Eros felt warmth in his chest for the fourth time in his life, "Thank you, but I can't stay here for long.

Makarov looked at the titan with slight disappointment.

- How much more time do you plan to spend in the guild?

- A year at most, and then I'll leave.

- Good, - Makarov nodded, - Then I have a condition.

- A condition?

- Yes. When you finish your journey, the place where you will create the guild will be Magnolia.

It was time for Eros to be surprised.

- What's in it for you?

- Oh, it's an alliance with a potentially powerful guild, isn't that enough? - But seeing Eros' incredulous look, the master only laughed, and abruptly became serious, -And if anything ever happens to me, that you would be its shield.

- Master, you are talking to a child who is only eleven years old.

- Children grow up very fast these days, and I'm not talking about such monstrously talented children," he said, returning to his cheerful tone.

- I couldn't agree more," Eros replied, holding out his hand, "I agree, but I ask the same of you.

- Deal! - smirked Makarov, shaking the titan's hand.
