Fairy Tail and the Light Sword

Chapter 12

   "Ok Lucy, we really need to start your training. It's already been a month and you've done absolutely nothing." Solstice stated picking at her steak.

"Awww, but I'm  not done exploring the castle." Lucy whined. Solstice rolled her eyes.

"She's right y'know Luce-"

"Please do not call me that." Lucy stated a serious expression on her face. Shin smirked. "Why? Little ol' Luce doesn't like bein called Luce?"

Lucy shook her head. "No it's just that Natsu used to call me that." The table was silent. "Well anyway Solstice is right" Shin started up again.

"But-"

"No buts!" Ava butted in, a gleam present in her eyes followed by an evil smirk. "Actually, why don't we start telling you what'll go down during this training?" Lucy visibly gulped and shrink back into her seat.

"Good idea Ava. So what exactly do you three have in mind?" The three trainers looked at each other.

"Well" Chad began "She'll need to build up her magic power for the stronger spells. So how many spirits can you open at a time?"

Lucy slumped down in her chair "one" she replied embarrassed. She had barely even gotten over the Key of the Starry Sky thing when the guild was attacked by that guy who was after her only two days later, and boy did she feel useless.

Chad sighed heavily. "I really do have my work cut out for me."

"Jerk"

"We'll start with building up your stamina. This means a lot of pushups and running to get you in good shape." Lucy groaned. "You'll have your stamina increased by 0.20% by the end of today, do you understand?"Lucy nodded.

"Next you'll be learning some new spells." Ava piped in. "They'll be both offensive and defensive spells so you won't have to rely on your spirits as much. You'll be able to fight alongside them instead." Lucy's whole mood brightened.

"You mean I won't have to throw my spirits in the face of danger so much?" Ava nodded.

"All the spells you'll learn will be based off of the light and the stars. Some will even be based of the sun like this one spell called 'Cruel Sun'. I'll even teach you spells that involve planets. One of my favorite ones and the one you'll be learning first is 'Urano Metria."

"Actually I can already use that spell."

"Seriously? Well that's perfect. Less work for me then." She took a sip of her tea before continuing. "I'll eventually teach you how to use the ' Stardress'." Solstice spit out her coffee, Chad gasped loudly, and Shin choked on his steak. Ava had a sly smirk while Lucy was just plain confused.

"Are you sure you want to teach her that?" Chad started. "She needs to be able to open at least three gates at a time y'know."

"That's what your for Chad. You'll increase her magic ability so she can open more gates at a time."

"Um guys-"

"But still Ava! You of all people should know the risks involved!"

"Hellooo-"

"Yes but if she gets the hang of it there won't really be a problem"

"I'm sti-"

"And if she doesn't than what are gonna do? Apologize for putting her in a coma?"

"Ok now I'm sca-"

"Just no way Ava. I'm not risking it."

"Are you guys even aware of my presence here?!"  Everyone at the table simultaneously turned their heads to look at Lucy. "Shut up!" They yelled at the startled blonde before continuing their rant. A few minutes passed and Lucy's patience was low. That's  when she finally decided she was not having it. She stood up and slammed her hands down hard on the table.
