Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover: Male Reader x Erza Scarlet

Chapter 12

A/N: HOLY JESUS FUCKING A DEVIL!!!! 1K READS?!?!?!?! Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this book. It makes me so happy to see that people actually enjoy things that I write. I apologize for not updating in a while, I was busy with college: homework, midterms, and labs. I finally got some free time to sit down and write, so, without further ado, let's jump right into the chapter!

Y/N = your name

F/F = favorite food

F/D = favorite drink

E/C = eye color

H/C = hair color

"Talking"

'thinking/voice in head/talking in your head'

"Beast talking/Demonic voice"

[Erza's POV]

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I just watched a demon from the book of Zeref at full power get torn down in one attack by Y/N. I knew he was powerful, but this is something else. When I felt the magic pressure being released from him, I felt something inside of me... fear. To see someone who has that much power, I'd almost call it terrifying. I look around to see that almost all of the guild masters were surprised at the amount of power they felt. I look to check on everyone from the team, and I see that they were surprised as well. No... looking again, I'd say they weren't surprised, but they were just as afraid, if nor more so. I hear someone talking and turn around to see that it was Y/N talking to master. His eyes quickly dart to look at everyone before he walks away back into the town. It was quiet for a few more seconds until master Goldmine spoke up.  

Goldmine: *composes himself and turns to Makarov* "Makarov, I think I speak for everyone when I say you are withholding some information." *everyone nods* "None of us know much about Y/N except for him being a S-class mage and being really shy. Hell, he's barely known around Magnolia, where your guild is located. Now, what's going on Makarov? Why are you withholding information on us?"

I look at master, along with everyone else, waiting for a response. Master just keeps his head closes his eyes and sighs.

Makarov: "I'm not withholding information about Y/N. I'm simply doing what he asked me to do. He doesn't like attention being brought to himself, so he asked me to keep quiet about him and not to say a lot about him. You have to understand, Y/N would much rather be alone then surrounded by people. So, for Y/N's own good, please keep what happened quiet and don't tell anyone in your guilds about Y/N, nor what he did."

Goldmine: "I can respect that, but we will have to report this incident to the council. What should we do about that?"

Makarov: "I'll deal with the council when they demand answers. For now, just tell them what happened here. At the very least, they should be glad it was him. Nothing was really affected by the attack. The most damage I could possibly see happening is a few scrapes on the windows from branches being blown back from the shock wave of his attack. Now, I think we've all had a long night. Let's call the meeting adjourned until next time, and let's get some sleep."

Master walks off towards the town in the direction that Y/N headed off in. I stand for a couple seconds before following along behind him. No one really spoke much for the rest of the night. We just walked to a hotel, got a room for the night, and headed to sleep.

*Time skip to morning*

[Y/N's POV]

I had woken up pretty early this morning, around 7 AM to be more specific. Since I had nothing better to do, I might as well take the time to prepare myself properly before heading out. So, I took a shower, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, and got dressed. I then packed my bag with the books and clothes that I had brought along. After tidying up the room a bit, I headed out to the front desk to check out and then take a walk in the town. I saw a nice breakfast cafe, so I stopped by to get something to eat. I ordered a crêpe, which contained Nutella and bananas, along with a bottle of water to drink. I then found a nice place to sit and took out my notebooks and started solving complex integrals. After a few minutes, I heard my order called by the counter. So, I walked up, grabbed my order, a fork, a knife, and some napkins before sitting back down to eat. After a few minutes, I had finished my crêpe and water. I took a look at the time before heading out. It was 9:00 AM now.
