I entered the Howling Dragons guild hall and instantly drew all the guild members to myself like a magnet, I had Swift to thank for that.
“Hey guys! Guess who’s come to say hello!” Swift declared as he moved aside.
“Akari!” Everyone yelled as they swarmed around me to say hello.
“Thanks for the welcome guys but, I can’t breathe.” I giggled.
“Come on everyone, let me greet Akari too.” I heard a familiar voice say.
“Hi Master.” I smiled as I saw him walk towards me.
“Come here, how are you doing?” Master Chikao asked as he gave me a hug.
“I’m doing well thanks, I see you're still keeping the guild in order.” I replied as I walked to the bar with Master Chikao.
“Yes, barely. To be honest, I think you did a better job than me.” Master Chikao chuckled.
“Aw, now that’s not true.” I giggled.
As I was about to drink from my mug at the bar, I felt a great force hurtle towards me and push me against the bar, they wrapped their arms around me cheerfully.
“Akari! You’re back, I’ve missed you so much! You didn’t say you were coming!” Kasumi said excitedly.
“I should’ve known, hey Kasumi.” I giggled as I gave her a hug. “You’ve grown your hair longer.” I commented as I lifted a section of her hair which, had grown into a long bob style.
“Yeah, I fancied a change in style... by the way...” Kasumi said curiously.
Kasumi ran towards Laxus and wrapped her arms around his arm, causing Laxus to step back in surprise.
“Oh, hello?” Laxus said, confused.
“Who’s this hunk that you’ve brought with you, one of your new Fairy Tail friends?” Kasumi questioned.
"Uh…" Laxus said awkwardly.
“My job partner actually, that’s La-“
“Laxus Dreyar, Makarov Dreyar’s protégé, he’s a Lightning Dragonslayer like Akari. I must say it’s an honour to meet you young man, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Master Chikao said in awe.
“Thanks, I’m glad that I met you actually, I know that you were a big influence in Akari’s life.” Laxus replied.
“Well I guess so but, you my boy, you’ve really helped Akari bloom in her magic ability, I read her article in Sorcerer Weekly and it sounds like she has learnt a lot from you.” Master Chikao commented.
“That’s good to hear, she’s a remarkable wizard, definitely full of surprises.” Laxus said as he looked at me and grinned.
“Well thanks Master for letting me introduce Laxus.” I said sarcastically.
“I’m sorry Akari but, he’s such a legend I couldn’t help myself, you being trained by a Dreyar, I couldn’t have hoped better for you.” Master Chikao beamed.
“He’s his own person you know Master, he’s a really powerful wizard in his own right, he doesn’t need a label to define himself.” I replied.
Laxus looked stunned by my comment.
“I’ll say, look at this guy, power must be his middle name I mean look at those arms! He’ll keep you warm at night, y’know what I mean Akari.” Kasumi giggled.
“Kasumi!” I exclaimed.
“Thanks, at least someone appreciates me." Laxus grinned as he looked over at me and raised his brow.
