[Y/N's POV]

Everyone was gathered together talking and getting to know each other better before starting the mission. I was quiet like usual. I more enjoyed watching everybody have fun. They were all smiling and laughing, especially Wendy when it came to Natsu, Gray, and Erza's antics. The smile she had was so innocent, it's a smile that warms your heart no matter who sees it. I heard the light patter of paws walking towards me, and I saw the white cat walking towards me. If I remember correctly, her name was Carla. Once she gets close enough, she starts to talk to me.

Carla: "You're not going to join in the conversation with everyone else?"

Y/N: "Nah. I'd rather enjoy watching everyone have fun than participate in it myself."

Carla: "That's fair. They are quite a rambunctious bunch."

Y/N: *chuckles* "You can say that one again."

Carla: *giving a curious look towards me* "You seem to hide your face, well, at least half of it. Why is that? Do you have something to hide?"

Y/N: "You don't have to worry about me hiding anything. I'm not a very good liar. I prefer to just tell the truth as I see it."

Carla: "Hmm. You seem to be the only other sane person in this group of misfits besides Jura."

Y/N: *smiles* "Thank you, although they aren't too bad if I say so myself. They're more 'quirky' if you understand what I mean by that."

Carla: "I think I get it." *looks at the bag on my back* "Any reason you carry that bag around? Certainly, there must be a reason for you to bring it on a mission."

Y/N: "Most wouldn't see a reason once they know the contents of the bag. It's mainly just notebooks and other stuff I do in my free time when I'm bored. Stuff to pass the time."

Carla: "How could you be bored around those four and the tomcat?"

Y/N: "You get used to their antics after a while. We should probably start this mission already. The Oración Seis isn't going to wait for us to attack to start their plans. They're probably getting everything they need ready for whatever they're planning as we speak."

Carla: "I agree, let's get these hooligans ready for the mission."

With that, we went over to the group to get the mission started. We gathered as much information as possible from what everyone already knew beforehand. Apparently, the Oración Seis are looking for something called Nirvana. It's supposed to be really powerful magic. Beyond that, the only other information we have are pictures of their members and their names. Their members are Hoteye, Racer, Angel, Cobra, Midnight, and Brain. Just based on their names, I can tell a bit about some of the members' magic. Racer seems to use some sort of speed magic, or possibly magic that makes him appear fast. And Cobra's magic seems to be linked to the snake wrapped around him in some way. Other than that, the other four are a complete mystery as to what magic they use.
