Although Akira had lived two lifetimes, he always believed that one's birth determined how far one could go. This is especially so for fantasy worlds like this, where bloodline inheritance gives out a huge boost for mages.
And this is why many descendants of famous mages always act arrogantly. After all, with their qualifications, they really have the capital to be arrogant.
But similarly, not all famous mages belong to one family. Some mages actually had no generations of mages in their families but themselves. But even so, they awakened their innate talent and managed to challenge the other geniuses with their own efforts.
So, Akira, in a moment, curiously decided to investigate Mirajane's family. And good gracious, that research made him find out many things. Mirajane's parents were a couple of mages who were talented in Take Over Magic. In fact they were quite famous in the Western Continent.
But after they were injured, they came to this village and settled down. And years passed by, and they had three children. Everything was going perfectly fine until one day, when Mirajane's father came across clues about the hidden secret of the village.
The previous priest, who was also a dark mage, actually slipped, making Mr. Strauss suspicious. And so the priest, in order to hide his secret, ambushed Mr. Strauss and tried to kill him to silence him. Fortunately, Mr. Stauss, though retired, still managed to fight back, but even so, he was still injured.
And so that day, Mr. Strauss went back home, bloodied, and explained everything to his wife. And the couple, unaware of the dangers, decided to inform the council about this. So then they went to meet the village head.
And so then both of them were killed by the same village head and the other half-demons. And what's more, they even made it so that they were killed because of a monster attack.
And as a result of this, the demons were able to harvest a huge amount of negative emotions.
" So tell me everything you find during your quest. "Makarov spoke in a serious tone after closing the door to his office.
" Master, you should see it, that way you can understand it better, " Akira spoke as he snapped his fingers. In the middle of the room, a magic circle lit up, and projections of Akira's memories, along with the memories he had extracted from the demons, played, allowing everyone to witness the truth.
Soon, the room was filled with the sounds of sobbing. The three siblings were already breaking down. Even Makarov had a pained expression as he secretly wiped away his tears.
" Akira, what did you do to those priests and half-demons? " Makarov asked as he looked at Akira. There was barely suppressed anger hidden in those eyes.
Akira gave a cold smile and spoke, " Sorry, master, I think those guys are now six feet underground. "
Makarov choked as he looked at Akira with disbelief.
"What! Those guys were true demons, and you can't expect me to go easy on them, do you, master? " Akira asked, raising an eyebrow.
" You know what, just forget about it, " Makarov said as he sighed. He didn't blame Akira for being ruthless, as even he would have done the same. It's just that he didn't like this brat, who is only 8, killing people, even if they were demons.
He then turned his attention to look at the three Strauss siblings. After seeing all those memories, Makarov had already decided to let these three siblings stay here.
"Can you tell me your names? " Makarov asked with a kind smile.
" My name is Mirajane. These two are my siblings, Lissana and Elfman. " Mirajane spoke, and then, with a bit of hesitation, she spoke, " Can we join the guild? "
" Of course, let me go and bring the guild stamp, " Makarov spoke with an excited expression as he reached into his drawer.
And then he took out the guild stamp and asked, "Where do you want to stamp the guild emblem? "
Mirajane looked at the excited but kind guild master in a daze. Even though Akira had previously reassured them repeatedly, they still had that doubt in their hearts. But now, hearing Makarov's words, their hearts that were hanging due to tension and fear finally calmed down.
" Welcome to Fairy Tail, " Akira, seeing this change in their hearts, smiled and offered his welcome.
….
It had been more than a month since the Strauss siblings joined Fairy Tail. In less than three days, three of them had already assimilated with Fairy Tail. Mirajne, just like in the original story began to show her domineering side, scaring 98% of the guild members.
Lissana and Elfman, like in the original story also decided to learn Take Over Magic. Even when Akira tried to persuade Elfman to learn any other magic, the cowardly Elfman rarely showed a serious, determined look and said he would still practice Take Over Magic even knowing all the drawbacks.
This left Akira with no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly and tell them to join his magic lessons. Yes, since he couldn't stop their calamity, he would just make them so strong that no calamity would be able to hurt them.
And just like that, Akira's magic classroom started, and gradually, from the children to the grown-ups, everyone joined. And before everyone realised Akira's magic classroom had become a daily occurrence for them. Every time they need to get stronger, they just go there and get his guidance. Even Ur and Sera would sometimes come by to get some guidance or simply get some sparring practice.
Of course, Akira also benefited from this magic classroom. Just like how a master would learn from a student, Akira's attainments in magic grew rapidly because of this classroom. Now, Akira can proudly say he can use all the magic in Fairy Tail. His goal of becoming the next generation Magic King is already one step ahead.
Just as Akira was getting excited and full of confidence, Master Makarov once again dropped a bomb, disrupting his ordinary life.
….
"For this year's S-Class assessment, the participants are Laxus, Akira, Ur, Wakaba and Macao " Makarov declared as he stood from the railing on the second floor.
" Ohhh damn it, I didn't get selected this year "
"Heh, me too, anyway, let's grab a drink to drown our sorrows. "
" Hey, guys, who do you think would become this year's S-class mage? "
" I bet a 1000 that it is definately Ur. "
" Nah, I bet it would be Laxus or Akira. Especially Akira, if that guy goes all out, he would definitely be able to become an S-class magician. "
" Yeah, but don't you think Laxus has a way more advantageous position? I mean Akira's luck is never that good. "
" That's true, if this year's S-Class assessment is to complete a quest, Akira would definitely lose. "
" Hey, speaking of which don't you think Macao and Wakaba have a chance this time. "
"Haa, are you kidding? How could those two compete against Laxus, Akira and Ur? In sheer raw power, Laxus could beat them black and blue, in sheer momentum and magic power Akira could pummel them with just his right hand, and in sheer experience and magic control, Ur could freeze them before they even realise anything. In short, those two are just there to make up the numbers "
Hearing the harsh comments coming from their guildmates, Wakaba and Macao had black lines running down their faces. And without hesitation, the two of them turned back and began to beat up those nosy fellows and teach them why flowers are red.
And soon the fight escalated, resulting in a familiar brawl that made guildmaster Makarov roar in fury.
" You idiots, at the very least, finish hearing my announcement, " Makarov roared as he attacked everyone indiscriminately with his giant fists.
