(So, I decided to start a side stories. I will update these when I have writers block for the normal story. I hope you guys like it)

"We are going to do it this time! You're not the master anymore dad!" Romeo yelled.

"Well neither are you, you little brat! I absolutely forbid it. We are never going to get involved with that thing again, you hear?!" His father yelled back, voice filled with anger. I stared confusedly as I walked into the rugged guild behind Wendy, Lucy, Gray and Natsu. It's been several months since we had returned from Tenrou, and let me tell you, things have certainly changed. Akina is now thirteen years old, and my brother seems to have moved out of Fiore.

"Yo guys, we're home!" Natsu announced. I stayed quiet, not paying attention to the conversation between Team Natsu and Max. Instead, I was staring straight at Romeo and Macao, who were in the middle of a heated argument.

"What all of the fuss about?" Gray asked.

"Those of you with me, say I!" Macao exclaimed, raising his hand. All of the original members of the guild that did not go to Tenrou raised their hands and did as Macao had said, all of except for Romeo.

"I don't ever want to go through that again."

"That has got to be the most embarrassing thing in the world." Bisca and Alzack agreed.

"But we've got the tenrou team with us this time! Erza and Y/n and all those guys! There's no we're gonna lose with them on our side!" Romeo pleaded. Another person spoke up against what Romeo was fighting for. I don't even know what he was fighting for.

"So what exactly are we talking about doing or not doing here anyway?" Natsu asked.

"While you guys were all stuck on tenrou island, a tournament started to determine Fiore's number one guild." Natsu responded back happily. "Guilds from all over the country face off against each other in magic events. They call it, THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES!"

"OHH YEAH!" Was Natsu's response.

"That sounds totally amazing!"

"Yeah, I'd love to play some games." Each of us tenrou mages pitched in our own positive thoughts about the topic. I listened to all of the guild, conversing and pondering whether to take part in the games. No matter if we had a large or small chance of winning, Makarov was heavily influenced about the amount of prize money. I laughed. Makarov, Natsu and many others happily obliged, until Macao turned to me.

"Y/n, you've been quiet. You are one of our strongest wizards now, tieing with Erza, Laxus and Mira, you have also been here almost the longest out of everyone. Your opinion really matters on this topic. What do you think?" He asked me. I smile at him and put a hand to my chin, humming in thought.

"Well, I would like to believe that the only reason you guys continued to lose was because you were all just severely devastated by us missing, and even that is not an excuse. Well, you have no reason to mess up, so I don't see why not." Macao stared at me incredulously.

"I thought you would be on my side!"

"Don't forget that I am still 18, despite it being 7 years. I don't know any better." I played innocent.

"LET'S WIN THAT 30 MILLION JEWEL, ON THE TITLE OF FIORE'S NUMBER ONE GUILD! FAIRY TAIL IS ENTERING THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES AND AIMING FOR THE TOP!" Makarov screamed.

~Time Skip~

"There's plenty of time for training, but it's important to balance work and pleasure" Erza said while standing in the middle of the water. I stared at her. I thought that she would be better than this. Am I the only one who is actually taking this seriously? I shake my head at them and turn to walk away.
"Where are you going Y/n?" Lucy asked me.

"Home."
"You still have it? Didn't your contract get terminated over the seven years."
"It did. I am going back to my childhood home. That guild is gone, so it's empty. Plus, Akina and Taylor will be coming with me. Extra practice for me." I explain before leaving. I could hear their yells of joy in the background. I smiled and laughed before getting on the train to go home.

"Throw all of your magic at me!" I yelled at Akina. I wore no armor and wasn't in any of my requips. All that I adorned was a f/c tank top and loose, sport shorts. My hair was pulled out of my face and I had no shoes on. Nothing to protect me. This is to make every bit of me stronger and become accustomed to pain so that I will not break as easily. I also held no weapons. Just my bare fists that weren't even wrapped in gauze.

"God Soul: Hephaestus!" Akina yelled. She then sent multiple flaming pellets of iron at me. I smiled and opened my mouth, eating each and every single one of them. She huffed and grabbed the large, iron hammer hanging on his back. She readied it in her hands and swung it at me.

I lowered myself, then used my upper body strength to push myself up again, completing a push up. After doing fourteen more, Akina laid a large rock on my back, making it more difficult to accomplish 15 pushups. I continued to do this until I had completed the last rep with at least twenty five rocks on my back, weighing more than fifty pounds.

I held the rope loops in my grip. The ropes were attached to large boulders that were hanging from a pulley. I repeatedly, but slowly, made contact with a punching bag in front of me. It was proving to be very difficult to move my hands forward with the large boulder holding me back.

Along with Taylor's ability to break every bone in her enemy's body, she is also able to fix and heal bones. Knowing from what Macao had told me, many people break their bones in the grand magic games. I took advantage of this knowledge to simulate my bones breaking during a fight. I practiced swimming with a broken foot. I practiced punching with a broken shoulder. Practiced a sword fight with a broken rib. Practiced shooting an arrow with a few broken fingers.

Every time I messed up, Taylor made my pain even more unbearable. It was a lesson of punishment per mistake. It trains your body to learn and function without the use of a certain body part while still in pain. It also teaches the brain to learn to focus on the goal instead of the pain.

When I finally completed every session, Taylor healed all my bones, causing me to sigh in relief. I rolled my shoulder around in it's socket, feeling no pain. Those three months were very beneficial. It was very obvious that I had gained more muscles and that I was a bit more buff. Three months can really change someone.
