"Oh, I'm sorry." a man apologized.
I was roaming my eyes around the town when I suddenly bumped into someone.
"Are you okay, Miss?" he asked. He's wearing an eyeglasses. And also, there are three ladies behind him who have been glaring at me for a while now.
I nodded. "Yeah, sorry." I apologized and hurriedly left him.
Those girls looks like they're planning to devour me later. What the hell is even wrong with them?
I shook my head and sigh.
I still have to look for a place where I can stay, as permanent as possible. There's no apartments available in the first two town that I went in. That's why here I am now, in the beautiful town of Magnolia.
"Apartment? Sorry, Miss, but my apartment building is already full of tenants." the landlady said.
Her apartment is just beside one of Magnolia's river, I don't know the river's name tho.
"Thanks." I simply replied, and started walking again.
"Wait!"
I looked back to the landlady who shouted. She's slowly running towards me.
"I just remembered, there's a dormitory nearby. I'm not sure about it's price, tho. But it's a great place and exclusively for women."
What she just said lighted up my mood. At last, I can finally rest my feet.
"May I know where is it?"
"I'm not sure where exactly it is, but you can ask any of Fairy Tail guild's wizard." she pointed her fingers behind me. I looked where she was pointing, it was a huge building with a banner. "That's the guild I am talking about."
"Thank you."
I silently walked towards the guild that she mentioned. And speaking of a guild, should I join one? It's really hard to look for a job. But if I became a member of a guild, I won't be needing to look for any job anymore. The job will look for me, instead.
"I wonder what new adventure awaits for us. I can't wait to see that town." excitedly said by the woman with a blonde hair, her eyes are even sparkling.
'She really is obviously excited.'
I just continued walking towards the guild's direction. My feet were really tired. I've been walking for more than an hour, looking for a place to stay in.
Finally, I reached the guild. I looked up, there's a crest in the banner placed in the upper part of the guild's front. And below that banner, a name was largely written.
'FAIRY TAIL'
"Do you need anything, Miss?" someone spoke from behind.
I turned around and saw a little old man holding a wooden cane with a happy face on it's circular holder.
There's something weird on me after I saw him.
"I was just looking for a Fairy Tail wizard." I said.
"Oh. May I know who is it?"
"I am not looking for a specific wizard, I just want to ask anyone where can I find the girl's dormitory nearby this guild."
"The Fairy Hills?" he asked. Then he looked at the bag that I was carrying since earlier.
I nodded. "Do you know where is it?" I shamelessly asked. I'm really tired, so I have to set aside my shyness.
"Of course. Most of my children lives there." I looked at him, confused. "My name is Makarov, I am Fairy Tail's guild master." he introduced himself, which made me shocked for a few seconds.
"Nice to meet you, Mister. My name is Feyi Nicholas. Uhm, may I know where can I find the dorm? I just really wanted to rest my feet."
"I can escort you there. But the landlady's not yet there, she's in Hargeon right now. If I remember it correctly, she told me that she'll be back at 5PM."
What? But it's just 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
"Oh, is that so. Thanks, Mister."
"You can just call me Makarov, Master, or Gramps. Whatever you want from those three." he smiled. And the weird sensation that I've been feeling towards him just grew wider.
"Can I just pick 'Gramps', instead?"
"Eh..?" he stared at me for a few seconds. "Sure. Anyways, come with me inside. You can stay here until the dorm's landlady arrived." he said and started walking towards the guild's double door.
I followed him and I was welcomed by a very energetic ambiance inside. People were talking happily and loudly. Some were drinking, while others were just having chitchats. They all looked at me and stopped whatever they're doing for a while.
"Welcome back, Master." a beautiful woman, behind the counter, said. "How did the meeting went?" she asked.
"As expected, the council is still hitting on our guild. I received tons of complainant's reports again." he sat in the counter, then introduced me the lady he's talking to. "By the way, Feyi, this is Mira. She's the counter girl of Fairy Tail. And --"
Before he can add another sentence, Mira excitedly asked. "Is she going to be our new member, Master?"
"She'll just stay here for a few hours until Morimiya comes back."
"Oh. Are you going to stay in Fairy Hills?" she asked.
I just nodded my head.
"Since Mira mentioned about a new member, Feyi, would you like to join our guild?" Gramps asked.
Hmm? Does he even know if I do have magic powers or not?
"I can sense extreme magic energy from you, so, I bet you're also a wizard." he commented.
'H-How did he?'
"Yeah, I think you even holds greater magic than mine." Mira stated, seconding Gramps' statement. "May I know what's your magic?"
I blinked my eyes for a couple of times, first. "I use dragon slaying magic."
Their faces both turned white after hearing my answer. Why? Is my magic not as amazing as others?
