Chapter 21: It’s just that simple.
" Makarov how many times do I have to tell you I hate humans so stop sending these foolish idiots every time they try to do something suicidal? " Porlyusica the self-proclaimed human hater said as she began to beat up Makarov with her trusty broom.
" Hey hey, Porlyusica stop it the kids could hear us," Makarov said as he used his hands to cover his face. He didn't dare to counterattack as this old friend of his might bring a more deadly weapon to beat him more.
" Hmph " Porlyusica snorted but she stopped beating Makarov up.
" Jeez, can't you be more gentle with an Old man like me? " Makarov complained as he held his two arms in pain. He was about to complain more but quickly shut up when he saw Porlyusica holding up her broom to strike again.
" So how is Akira's situation?" Makarov coughed a little and asked as he changed the subject.
" I managed to heal his injuries as they weren't that serious. But Makarov when I was examining him I found something strange. " Porlyusica said as she looked at Makarov with a serious expression.
" What did you find? " Makarov asked as he stopped fooling around. " Did that brat damage his magic source? " he asked worriedly. This is the first thing that came to his mind since Akira was already facing a magic backlash.
" No, he didn't damage his magic source like what Rob did, "Porlyusica said making Makarov breathe a sigh of relief. Rob was their former comrade who retired due to being unable to use magic after sustaining an injury that damaged his magic source.
"Then what is the problem "Makarov asked as he raised one eyebrow.
"Well when I was examining his body I found that his body structure is different, " Porlyusica said and after hesitating for a second she continued, "From my analysis, he isn't entirely human. "
" huh "it took Makarov some time to process what he had just heard. When it finaly hit he looked at Porlyusica with a serious expression and asked, "Which race do you think he is "
"I don't know, the data I gathered is barely enough for me to make a definite guess. "Porlyusica shook her head as she shrugged. She wasn't that familiar with other races' body structures to give an answer.
" I will take note of this " Makarov said as he headed towards the room where Akira was recuperating.
Opening the door he found Akira being spoon-fed while Laxus to the side was leaning against the wall while crossing his arms.
" Oh hey Preside.." Akira, who was the first one to notice his presence, suddenly stopped in his tracks as he read Makarov's thoughts.
He had a complicated expression as he looked at Makarov.
Makarov, understanding the gesture, just nodded while thinking ' Let's talk about this later for now just recuperate '.
" Don't say hey me kid, what the hell did you do to get yourself hurt like this " Makarov asked loudly as he changed the subject so that others wouldn't notice their secret conversation.
" Hehehe well things happened, " Akira said as he awkwardly searched the back of his head. Sera to his side pinched him hard on the thigh for his behaviour.
" sigh " Makarov sighed as he changed his target. He then turned to Laxus and asked, " Laxus tell me what happened "
Laxus who had his eyes narrowed thought about it before saying, " I don't really understand it myself as all I saw is Akira activating his magic and then he was looking at the ground before there was a glass shattering sound. And the next moment he was bleeding with his eyes. "
" I see, " Makarov said, nodding to himself. Laxus's explanation explained nothing. The only clue he got was that Akira used his Take Over Magic. But since this magic is clearly different from the regular magic he isn't sure it is caused by the backlash Akira faced.
Since it has come to this he can only do this. " Sera, please make this bastard spit out everything that happened, " Makarov said as he pointed at Akira who was once again being spoon-fed by Sera.
Yes, when a child is being naughty just complain to their parents. They would definitely spill everything to them.
But unfortunately, Makarov miscalculated a little. Sera, before being Akira's caretaker, is still the servant Irene made for her son.
"Don't worry, President Akira would definitely say it if it was important. " Sera said as ignored Makarov's disbelieving look.
" Buhahahaha " Akira started laughing as gave Makarov a mocking smile that screamed, 'Hehe did you hear enough '
Even Laxus who could somewhat understand what was on his grandfather's mind also let out a chuckle that he quickly hid.
" You you " Makarov wanted to pick a fight with Akira but knowing that only he would get a beating he sighed and slumped on top of a nearby chair.
" Haha, cough cough sorry about that. " Akira coughed a little to control himself. He couldn't help it. Makarov's misery is something everyone in Fairy Tail would laugh at just like how he would laugh at them too.
" Ehem well, you want to know why I was injured right? " Akira asked to which Makarov and even Laxus nodded.
" Well to be perfectly honest the reason why I got injured is due to my body being unable to endure the backlash from my magic. " Akira said, making Makarov and Sera frown.
Although they guessed it, hearing it from him is still surprising. What sort of magic did he use for him to face such a backlash?
" From your tone I take it you knew before about getting a backlash. " Makarov asked as he squinted his eyes.
Akira hesitated for a moment before nodding. He knew his body would face the recoil but he didn't expect it would be this much.
" Then why did you cast such a spell? Even if it was for an enemy you could just ask for help by sending a distress signal. with your skills, it's not that hard doing that without the other party noticing anything. " Sera said as she glared at Akira.
She was now in her mother role so she was scaring the shit out of Akira who had already begun to sweat.
" Well that's because I had to or else that guy would have gone berserk and done something dangerous, " Akira said as he looked away.
" Who " Makarov asked as he narrowed his eyes. Was there an enemy there after all?
"The dragon's last resentment that is buried under our house, " Akira said making everyone look at him in silence.
"Wait there is a dragon buried under our house " Sera completely lost her composure as she digested this knowledge. She looked at Akira with worry. She finaly understood what really happened.
Dragons are territorial creatures. They protect their territory in the same manner they protect their honor.
What happened must be that when the dead will of that dragon sensed another dragon taking his graveyard as their new home. This must have angered him and led to him fighting with Akira. And to protect himself Akira must have used a magic spell that his current body couldn't handle which led to his injuries.
' From the expression Akira has my guess seemed to be the truth. ' Sera thought as she looked at Akira's stunned expression.
Akira was stunned. He had never known that Sera could have such a rich imagination. Although what she said was partly true, the reason why acted was because he didn't like the fact of living with a dragon's resentment. underground.
This is like living next to a time bomb. Who knew when it would blow up? The best to do is as soon you find it defuse it and remove it.
So Akira waited till everyone left before destroying the resentment. It's just that simple.
