The Demonic Swordsman Of Fairy Tail

On the way back to Magnolia, Makarov took the opportunity to learn more about Astaroth's past. Unfortunately for him, his new guild member is a person who prefers to isolate himself and who speaks little. All he managed to get as information is that he spent the last 6 years wandering from one place to another of Fiore, and that the strange aspect of his eyes came from a peculiarity hereditary genetics.

Because of his eyes Astaroth was constantly moving with his eyes closed. When Makarov asked him the reason, he explained to him that the peculiarity of his eyes would only bring unnecessary attention to him and that most people would only feel fear by seeing them, so they only opened them for to fight. In addition, he used a magic of perception that allowed him to feel things as if his eyes were open.

This did not really satisfy Makarov, although his reasoning was true, it meant that the only things observed by Astaroth's eyes was an endless conflict. Although he likes to see a good fight himself, he was sure he would go crazy if he did the same thing as the kid. But when he thought back to the thrill he felt when he first saw his eyes, he could only hope that he could quickly develop enough confidence to open his eyes in the guild

Later he told him how the guild worked and the story of Fairy Tail

It was obvious that this child had great difficulty expressing his emotions because his face had little or no change of expression during the trip.

It took a few days to reach the city of Magnolia.

Before arriving, Astaroth had washed his clothes and his face in a river on the road. After removing the dirt and blood from his face, we could see that he has a beautiful face, it was obvious that he would be an attractive man when he grew up.

The two travelers soon arrived in front of a large two-storey building. This was Fairy Tail's guild hall.

Makarov: Wait until I call you, I'll prepare others for you.

As the guild master came home from the front door, a man with a blue-and-white coat noticed his entrance.

Macao: So, master, was that meeting? I imagine you still boast of your magazine collection of the most beautiful women of Fiore with these old perverts.

The old man did not even bother to answer him before taking a severe tone and saying:

Makarov: Listen to me bastard! I brought a new member to our family, he is not really a big talker so do not rush him with useless questions, besides he made a long trip and needs to rest.

He thought to himself: I can not tell them that he will probably not answer their question, it will only isolate him without giving him the slightest chance of integrating.

He looked at the door and called Astaroth to join him.

As the door opened and the young man advanced towards their master, the members of the guild were surprised to see that his eyes were still closed and he was heading without any difficulty.

Positioning himself to the left of the old man, he examined the different members of the guild. There were some children to mix with different a.d.u.l.ts. The one with the blond hair at the back of the guild looked at him with a mixture of arrogance and curiosity.

He put his left hand on his c.h.e.s.t and bowed slightly

Astaroth: I am Astaroth vi Lucifer.

The guild members stared strangely at the young man in front of them, because of the very brief introduction. Makarov sighed at this. It will take a lot of work to get him accepted into his new family.

Makarov: Also know that for personal reasons, Astaroth can not open his eyes, but he uses a magic of perception that fulfills the same role as normal eyes.

Several of the members looked at the swordsman with a little pity. They thought it meant he was blind.

Makarov: If you want to rest, you can settle in one of the rooms at the bottom of the guild.

The young man lost no time in unnecessary discussion and headed straight for the designated room. Halfway, a black-haired kid a little younger than him stood in his way. He was not wearing anything except pants.

Kid: I'm Gray Fullbuster. Fight me!

The others were not really surprised by Gray's request. Since he arrived in the guild he loved to challenge to prove his strength. Astaroth examined his interlocutor for a few seconds.

Astaroth: No, you do not interest me.

At these words he went on his way. Believing he was questioning his strength, Gray got angry and tried to hit Astaroth.

At that moment a katana found itself under Gray's throat which, to mix with the murderous intent he felt, stopped his movement. Without even having seen it move, Astaroth was moved behind Gray

The blond haired young man thought with a small smile: This guy is strong.

Fearing the worst Makarov intervened quickly.

Makarov: Calm down Astaroth, I think he understands the lesson and will not bother you anymore.

The swordsman put his sword back in his sheath. Much to Gray's relief that fell on his l.a.p when the pressure left him, he was covered with sweat. He vowed not to provoke him anymore.

No longer wanting to waste time, the demon entered the room that would be his room for a while.

When he left one of the spectators said:

Well, master, it's all a guy you brought back.

Makarov could only agree to that, he was convinced that this kid had not finished sighing.

Unbeknownst to everyone in the small room, Astaroth was standing against the wall, his face was covered in sweat, and his right hand was on his heart while mumbling continuously.

Astaroth: Calm down. Calm down. Do not let anger dominate you. Remain master of your emotions ...
