"You're crushing my ribs," Y/n complained. "Gramps let me go!!"

After he calmed down, Y/n exchanged small talks with the rest of the group.

She also caught up with the new members after introducing herself to them. Each member took turns explaining what she missed, as she heard stories about how two members had left their previous guild and how another joined despite coming from a non-existent guild.

They fought against Siegrain, Jellal, and Oracion Seis, got stuck in Tenrou for seven years and fought Oracion Seis once again.

After Romeo announced the Grand Magic Games, everyone except Y/n was eager to participate in the Grand Magic Games.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in joining," Y/n said firmly. "It only creates more problems."

Natsu groaned and pulled her arms, begging her to reconsider. "Come on, Y/n! It's been twelve years since we last saw each other. Do something exciting with your life!" he whined.

He suddenly appeared lost in contemplation before interjecting, "Hey Y/n, what happened to your body? You're not like Wendy but more like Lucy. I remember you being short and flat—"

Y/n's eye twitched with irritation as she struck Natsu in the face, making him fly out of the guild. "NATSU!!" she yelled, her voice echoing in the distance.

After composing herself, Y/n turned her attention to Laxus, who she noticed standing nearby. She smirked and waved mockingly at him. "Hey, Laxus. I heard you got expelled."

Laxus rolled his eyes at Y/n's taunt and pointed his index finger at her, unleashing a barrage of electric shocks.

However, Y/n stopped his attack by summoning a small water bubble to capture the electricity. The shock exploded within the water bubble from the mix, and a fire emitted mid-air.

As Natsu sprinted towards them, he gleefully swallowed up the flames.

"Try better next time," Y/n shrugged nonchalantly, not wanting to boast about her abilities.

Natsu grinned as he watched Y/n stop Laxus' attack. He eagerly approached her with a mischievous expression to challenge her.

"Y/N! PLEASE FIGHT ME! PLEASEEEEE!" he begged.

The woman sighed and rubbed her face. "You haven't changed in twelve years, for Mavis' sake!" she complained.

"TAKE THIS!"

Y/n skillfully dodged the fire mage's attack before his fist could make contact by summoning a water shield.

She stared at Natsu's determined eyes in annoyance, and right when his second attack was about to hit her stomach, Y/n's upper body turned into liquid, making Natsu traverse right through.

"You can't hit me, Natsu. Stop being so stubborn," she spoke, carefully sipping her tea. "This tea is delicious."

Carla nodded from next to her, approving of Y/n's tea choice. "Foolish boy, hmph," she spoke. "and this is chamomile tea, truly delightful indeed."

Wendy gazed at Y/n, brows furrowed, and felt uneasy with her presence. Sensing her stare, Y/n turned around and met Wendy's gaze.

As Wendy's anxiety was evident, Y/n offered a friendly smile. "You're new here too, right? Nice to meet you, I'm Y/n," she asked. Wendy fidgeted with her hands and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Yes. N-nice to meet you too, Y/n. I'm Wendy." she replied.

Y/n acknowledged Wendy's response and turned her attention back to her cup of tea. However, she couldn't help but notice the apprehensive look on Wendy's face.

It almost seemed as if Wendy was intimidated by her, perhaps even scared.

Y/n found pleasure in scaring people, as it gave her confidence and made her feel good.

However, with Wendy, Y/n felt differently. She almost felt the urge to apologize to her. Witnessing Wendy's guarded behaviour around her sparked a strange feeling in Y/n. It felt as though a needle had pierced her chest.

It made Y/n suspicious of Wendy, as she had a weird feeling already on their first encounter. For all she knew, Wendy could be a sorceress playing tricks on her.

Y/n wondered, 'Who are you, Wendy?'
