Farewell ~ Celestial Spirit Queen BK#1

Vanished Arc: Chapter 4 ~ Settings

Chapter 4 ¤ Settings

The next day, all of the teams decided to train again to prepare for the trials the day after tomorrow.

On the other hand, Mest was called by their Master for a meeting to discuss about the security and assurance when the trials will start to proceed including the measures they will be taking.

Before Cana woke up, Mest already left her house to go to the guild and meet with Makarov. Mira was the one who told him that Makarov called him. However, she left before Mest did since he said that he will get ready first.

Right after he reached the guild's door, he pushed it very gently, at the same time, slowly to peek inside first before proceeding.

"Please go easy when you face my children. After all, you are one of the 10 Great Saints." Makarov asked Jura.

"I will." He responded.

Inside was a long, wooden, garnished table with a tray full of used-already cigarettes and an authentic, golden, six lighted candelabra where Makarov, Erza, and Mirajane were sitting beside each other with Lyon, Jura, Ichiya, and Hibiki.

Just as Makarov said at the announcement, they asked favors from the other guilds for the completion of enemies before proceeding to the second stage of the trials. And they aren't just simple enemies, they are also S-Class Wizards who possess different kinds of magic.

"Oh please." Mest sighed and opened the door completely and walked inside, making the others notice him. "Sorry I'm late."

"Nevermind it. We must start now." Erza said and held her hands together at the table while leaning at her chair graciously.

He went for the seat beside Mirajane and sat after pulling it out. He couldn't help but feel suspicious or somewhat wonder since it is his first time meeting the trusted wizards from the other guild. Even though Makarov always had Mest by his side, he didn't inform him about anything regarding the Promotion since he doesn't want to spoil the fun nor disappoint him.

"Tardiness isn't accepted. What is your prepared excuse?" Ichiya asked and pulled out a bottle of pink-glittering perfume.

Mest didn't appretiate his action at the moment and forced himseld to answer "Pardon me, sir. I just had a few things to do."

"Hmp." Ichiya smirked. He opened the bottle and let the scent of the perfume burst out from its container. It spreaded inside the guild and let everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Everyone started showing their response to its presence except for Makarov, Erza, and Lyon, who is holding his arms together at his chest with a different look.

"Ehem." Erza muttered. She held her arms and feet together. She tried to tell Ichiya that he should stop.

"My, my." Ichiya said and closed after immediately understanding the message. He hid the perfume graciously and with obvious care in his pocket.

Lyon made an annoyed sound and glared at random things, far from the others.

"To begin," Makarov sat straight.

"I asked your help for our coming event and you four accepted to volunteer and follow our newly claimed rules, right?"

The four simply nodded.

"I already decided where and what time the event will begin, including the rules and the requirements for the teams before they face each other off."

Mest doubted that both Erza and Mirajane knew everything since they were listening eagerly at Makarov and have their curious looks with them, even though they still sit properly, with Erza still holding her armored arms.
