"Angel, you're back! How did training go?" Lucy asked s she ran up to me when I walked into the guild hall with Laxus and Gajeel.

"Lucy, it's so good to see you! Training went great. I have so much o tell you. Oh, but I really need to go on a job. There is no way I'm staying with Gajeel any longer than absolutely necessary. He snores like a bear."

"Hey, you watch your mouth, pipsqueak." Gajeel commented.

"Gajeel, go see Levy and Pantherlily. We've been gone a month and a half. I'm sure they missed you. Anyway... I'm gonna go look for a job. Lucy, when I get back, I'll tell you everything." I ran over to the request board to look over the jobs available. Let's see. Find a book. Waitress for a day. Catch a serial pervert! That looks interesting. I pulled the request that had caught my attention from the board and carried it over to Mira. "Hey, Mira. I'm gonna take this job."

"Are you sure you wanna take this one alone?" She worried.

"I've got it covered, Mira. Trust me, I've seen far worse than whatever this guy can do. Plus, it's not too far away. I should be back sometime tomorrow. So, am I cleared to go?" I watched as she pulled out a book and marked down the request.

"It's all yours. Good luck on your first mission."

"Thanks, Mira. See you soon." I ran out of the guild with a smile on my face, my suitcase rolling behind me. Okay,  so this request is based in Onibus, so I can take the train and get there in about an hour or so. If I'm really lucky, this will be super easy.



"Hi, I'm here from Fairy Tail about your request."

"Oh, yes. Please come in, dear. My name is Eva. I'm the one who sent out the request." I walked into the home of the lovely old woman, following her to a sitting room.

"Miss Eva, if there's any other additional information you can give me about this pervert, it might make him easier to catch."

"Well, dear, he only comes after our young women at night. Some have said he flashes them, others says he feels them up before disappearing. One poor girl... if her fiancé hadn't come looking for her, he would have taken advantage of her."

"So he's becoming more aggressive. Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you. Fairy Tail wizards always keep their promises."

"Bless you, child."



Come on, asshole. Maybe if I played it up a bit... "How did I end up stranded? Guess I'll have to start hitchhiking tomorrow. For now, I should find some place to stay for the night." I stage whispered to myself. I heard feet shuffle behind me. Finally. Come at me, you disgusting pervert.

"Excuse me, miss. I couldn't help but overhear you needed a place to stay." I turned to see a normal looking guy walking up to me. Not as creepy as I thought he would look.

"I appreciate the offer, but I was taught never to go anywhere with strange men."

"Not to worry, miss. I'm a Rune Knight."

"A Rune Knight? Where's your uniform?" I played dumb.

"At my home. I'm off duty. But I am trained to help a damsel in distress." Oh, brother.

"Thank you, but I think I'll try to see if the inn has any rooms available." I made to turn, and that's when I felt a hand settle on my ass. So, it is you. A knife pressed into my neck. "So, you're the serial pervert, and you are getting more aggressive. Too bad for you... I'm here to take you to justice. Lightning Dragon Indiscriminant Shock!" Lightning rained down around us, forcing him to back out of my personal space.
