"Gajeel, come to my office, please." I heard Master's voice across the hall. He didn't speak very loud, but of course I could hear him. Even over the pointless babble of the idiots around me. "Yeah, yeah," I muttered as I finished eating my breakfast of metal bits wrapped in bacon. I pushed myself up from my table and started walking to the back of the building. People scrambled out of my way, cringing if I looked at them. Gihi, good. I thought to myself. It'd been two years since those morons thought to "put me in my place." They've since learned the error of their ways. Or, well, a few of them didn't get a chance to learn.. Their brain damage left them like children, unable to learn anything.

I stomped into the master's office, and slammed the door. "Yeah? Ya got somethin for me to do?" I growled at him. I still don't like the man, but he's the boss. He raised an eyebrow, and smirked at me.

"Yes, I believe you'll enjoy this job, too. We've been hired to locate the daughter of Jude Heartfilia and bring her home."

"Catch a runaway? Why the hell would I enjoy somethin like that?" Sounded boring.

"Oh? Did I forget to mention? She's hiding out... at Fairy Tail." My ears perked up at that, and I couldn't stop myself from showing my excitement.

"She's hiding with those trash? Ha! This'll be cake." I turned to stomp out of the room.

"Gajeel..." Master called me back. I turned, raising a studded eyebrow. "Feel free to, how should I put this? Let loose on the Fairy scum's guildhall. But, we're not taking the girl just yet, got it? Once you've had your fun, come back."

"Yeah, gihi, I hear ya." I left his office, the grin on my face scaring my "guild mates" as I walked by. Oh yes, this'll be fun.

Since my mistake of letting those weak Fairies go about their day without a thrashing two years ago, I've beaten every one I came across. None of them were even a challenge. There was an idiot who danced everywhere, a girl with purple hair who used maker magic, that one guy with the sand magic, and a few others. I don't typically like beating up women, but the maker magic bitch was too easy. I just "bumped" into her, knocking her into a wall. She got knocked out, and I broke her glasses for good measure. Now though, now I had permission to go do some damage! I set off for Magnolia, happier than I'd been for a while.
