As soon as the second confrontation ended, Makarov quickly appeared next to his grandson and scowled at him:

- Eh ... And it was necessary to strain so much? - the old man could only breathe, Laxus injured his hand, and with such injuries only to Polyushka. Makarov took a fresh look at Aidan:

- Excellent ice! With that, I can officially declare you the senior wizard!

Aidan just nodded back. He was not particularly surprised by the old man's attitude, he was not angry even if his grandson was injured. Makarov really treated everyone in the guild somehow equally ... This attitude was impressive and aroused respect. With a quick step, to the surprise of the old man, the guy quickly reached the unconscious Laxus and reached out to his right elbow, and then feeling everything, he just sighed with displeasure:

- Not that I wanted this ... Your grandson is too violent.

Makarov just grinned wryly, watching as the white glow quickly turned into gold and enveloped Laxus's hand. A few seconds later, Aidan took his hand away and smiled inwardly.

"Hopefully he won't give me any trouble after this ... Well, he's a man, so everything should be fine. My magic has a weird effect on people by ear. "

"I'm not surprised anymore," Makarov chuckled, grabbing his grandson with his enlarged hand:

"I'm just glad you're with us in the guild. Pole is so grumpy ...

Laughing, the two quickly reached the rest, and then they all returned to the guild together.

Before Aidan had time to step over the guild threshold, he suddenly laughed and shouted:

- People! I'm a senior wizard now!

- Ahaha! I had no doubt! - Macao laughed, the others picked up and began to congratulate the guy.

- Let's drink!

- We drink a week!

- What ?! No guys, I have a wife and a son, I need to go home ...

- Fuck you! Divorce!

- Here is a nasty drunk ...

Natsu suddenly ran out of the crowd and growled:- Eid, let's fight! I will show you the power of my fire! Who will win?!

Aidan just hit the guy on the head, driving him like a nail into the guild floor:

- Another time old man.

So, for the next few days, the entire guild celebrated the appearance of a new senior wizard. One evening a group of friends gathered at the end table, sorting out flyers with assignments.

- So, I have already chosen, - Kana smiled, looking at Erza: - And you?

- Well, - the girl threw a displeased glance at Mira sitting nearby:

- Nearly! Return my assignment!

- What more! - snorted Mira.

- Grr! Who even called her here ?!

- I came myself! Have you got any problems?!

- Stop swearing, - Gray sighed displeased: - You always quarrel, can you live together?

All eyes immediately turned to the half-naked guy:

- Who would say, you would at least put on cowards, - Mira grunted.

- Damn it!

- Hey, Adie?

- Mm? - looking at Kana, the guy put the book away.

- You promised to come with me on a mission, did you forget?

- Exactly, and with me too! - Gray nodded, which immediately angered Natsu.

- In general, my brother will go with me!

- Fuck you! I was the first to ask him.Erza gave Aidan a strange look and smiled brightly. The guy immediately understood everything and sighed sadly:

- Okay, okay ... I'll go with everyone on a mission. But let's not take turns, but at least a company. For example, Natsu and Gray, Cana and Wendy, Erza and ... Mira, okay?

- What?! With this arrogant ?!

- With this jerk ?!

Friends immediately began to resent, only Kana smiled rather, she was more than agree with such conditions.

- Okay, I have a suitable assignment! - Standing up, Aidan pulled out a leaflet and handed it to Erza, Mira, in turn, looked at the guy with displeasure, but after all she peered at the leaflet, Charlie and Happy did not lag behind either.

- Hey, show me!

- And me, - Wendy smiled sweetly: - What's there brother?

`` This is ... '' Erza frowned and looked up tensely.

- S class ...

Aidan nodded.

- But the reward of fifteen million, it's definitely worth it. We just need to find this island and deal with the damned lighthouse.

- Damn lighthouse ?! - Happy shuddered.

- Wow! Can I go with you ?! Natsu immediately exclaimed.

- It is unlikely that the building is not simple, apparently ... - Erza read: - ... the ghosts of the island kidnap people. Moreover, an entire guild of wizards was completely destroyed by an unknown force in one night.

- Wow ... - everyone was immediately surprised, and someone was even noticeably frightened. Although Mira thought for some reason and sharply hit the table:

- I'm coming!

Erza just grunted, showing obvious displeasure, but then looked at Aidan:

- Are you sure?

The guy just nodded. He just mentioned to Mira, but it seems she took it differently, especially when she looked defiantly in his direction. He only had something to agree:

- It's too late ... Tomorrow morning we will go, pack your things.

After parting with the guys, the guy went outside and took out another leaflet, but unlike the one he gave Erza, this one had a "SS" mark. With a determined gleam in his scarlet eyes, Aidan put it in his pocket and headed home. He was going to leave the guild for two or three years, so he just had to do something. He wanted to spend time with friends. It might seem like a waste of time, but he still wanted to do it, for some reason he felt it was right. Two years of training is not so easy to go through if you know that you have not even tried ... Loneliness is not a pleasant feeling. Even if you get used to it, it still crushes and brings almost nothing good. At least it was worth going with each of his friends on a mission, that's all he was capable of, as time was running out. Self-strength, Galoun and the seven hundred and eighty-fourth were too close ...

With a heavy sigh, Aidan headed home. He decided to take Erza with him because of their strange relationship. He had long ago decided that he would not run away from any feelings in this life. As strange as it may sound, but Mira ... After that incident, their relationship was too strained, even if she went too far, she should have allowed it anyway. In addition, in his absence, there will not be so many strong wizards in the guild, it was worth helping them to raise their skills. Therefore, everything had advantages. The likes of Natsu and Gray should have always been encouraged to train. The spirit of competition can be used to advantage, the main thing is to choose an approach, and everything else will work out by itself. Of course, this will not work with Wendy and Cana, but the time will come and they will find their incentive to become stronger. Now it was worth supporting them and helping them move forward. Sweet little sister and best friend, with them the task will definitely be the most calm and peaceful. Thinking about it, the guy couldn't help but smile.
