Fairy Tail: God Slayer - The Path of Life and Death!

An oppressive silence suddenly reigned in the library. Makarov did not try to do something, Cana did not intervene, and Wendy's tears had already begun to run quietly, she felt sorry for her brother, and then also for Gray. Erza felt guilty, but at the same time she felt uncomfortable with everything. It turned out that these two were connected by Ur ... He, like everyone else here, also had no family and was completely alone.

But, the silence did not last long, Aidan burst out laughing and patted Gray on the shoulder.

- What nonsense buddy? I may not have known Ur, but I doubt that such a choke could kill her!

- Uh ... - Gray blinked in bewilderment and did not know what to say.

Aidan jumped out of his chair and chuckled:

- Just tell me how it was and don't make such a face. I didn't even know her, but I'm sure if she died, it's definitely not because of you!

Gray paused, but after that he smiled wryly:

- Still, I didn't think you, you really seemed familiar to me. You really are the son of Ur ...

- So! - finally gave a voice Makarov: - You, petty pranksters, decided to eavesdrop ?! I can still understand Gray, but you!

The girls immediately lowered their heads and became quiet. Having examined them with displeasure, Makarov suddenly laughed:

- You should have seen yourself! - With a wave of his hand, the old man went to the exit: - Next time, do not poke your nose into other people's affairs.

Left alone with everyone, Aidan looked at his friends and asked:

- Can we discuss what happened?

Wendy finally went up to her brother and hugged her with all her might. She didn't say anything, just hugged him quietly, but from her reaction, Aidan's soul immediately felt much warmer. Wendy seemed to convey her feelings to him.

In fact, he did not quite understand their feelings and pity, since this conversation did not matter to him. The fact that he did not have a family seemed to be a common thing for him, also with experiments conducted for twelve years. Even if he had lost so many years of his life, he was rather glad that he was still alive at all. Being here now, in the world of magic, after what happened in the past, he simply had no right to complain or be sad. He simply could not feel such feelings.

But, Wendy's pleasant hugs made him happy, especially at the moment when Cana came up to him and hugged him in the same way. When Aidan's gaze moved to Erza, he did not even have time to say something, as she came up and did the same as the others, burying herself in his shoulder:

- S-I'm sorry.

Aidan broke into a satisfied smile and looked at the surprised Gray.

- What?

- Nothing, - the guy grinned: - You don't think that I will start hugging you too?

"Eh," Aidan sighed pretendingly. "I hoped so."

The friends laughed, and after a short conversation they dispersed. Gray talked a little about the days with Ur, about Delior and how it ended. Of course, no one but Gray himself blamed him for what happened. Perhaps, Aidan's reaction to what happened showed Gray that maybe he really shouldn't blame himself for what happened then ...

Alone with himself and his thoughts, Aidan finally began to explore the library. He did not think long about what had happened recently. He was more pleased with the nice hugs than with all the chatter. He had never felt so much support and warmth in his life.

"Well, it's time to start learning ..." - Aidan picked up the book and read the title - "The magic of charm, its application and properties"

- Curious, - with an interested look, the wizard began to study the book. He wanted to start with something like the basics, with simple magic and at least some theory for general understanding. Later it will be possible to ask the Master to explain something else to him. Now it was worth focusing on the very basics.

Aidan spent all his time in the library until evening, when he finally finished with the tenth book. The glasses helped to greatly reduce the time, although this did not quite give the correct understanding, so sometimes I had to re-read it. In teaching, Aidan was always not particularly outstanding, usually it was easier for him to practice. As an example, he learned most of his skills in a past life through this approach.

After the collapse of the organization, all people had to look for work on their own. Fortunately, the reputation still remained, because Aidan took up small business and gradually improved his skills. Sometimes some people from the organization came across and could help, so he learned. He was not a professional as one might think, rather a little experienced in theft, in threats and robberies. He was good at shooting and knocking the crap out of any alcoholics or weaklings. So he often worked as a security guard or escort. But, here it was not worth talking about the professional level - because of the collapse of the organization, this was out of the question. Simply put, Aidan was good at simple things, little by little. Well, as for murder, he always tried to stay away from it. Since he not only did not know how to do it at a decent level, but it was also dangerous, sometimes even very much. Although, of course, there were cases, but after gaining a second chance, Aidan decided to completely forget about the past. He didn't regret it, it just made no sense now, then he had to live as he could, now everything is completely different. Magic is a very dangerous tool and can solve many problems.

"Come to think of it, this guild is pretty good ... Only, there are still doubts ... I took Wendy clearly not for her sake. It was pretty selfish of me to do that. "Aidan sighed and shook his head.

"Some things don't change, I still love cute girls, no matter how it sounds now. Or rather, I am greedy for feelings and the desire to be important to someone ... Loneliness is slowly depressing ... "

Thinking a bit, Aidan smiled.

"I really liked her, a pretty sweet girl, being her older brother is even somehow pleasant, after all ... I have always been like some kind of ghost, always wandering around the world, aimlessly. This guild is strange, but why not ... Maybe I want power because I understand that I can get it, but how can I deny myself the opportunity to influence the very history of Fairy Tail? Can I deny myself the opportunity to make connections with such loyal people? I think only an overconfident person would decide to act differently. But, I am here not only for connections, but also for strength. Joining here is reasonable in all respects. I found a home, maybe friends, Wendy for sure ... Now I have somewhere to return and I have something to protect, not like before. Besides, I feel good here. True, I may still have to do a couple of difficult things in the shadows. It will not be very pleasant to miss strong mages from the enemy side. This is also a thought ... Friends, family and other supporters. For a man, all this is important on the way to his goals. For now, mine is only about knowledge and strength, I definitely have to find a way to save Ur, she is the key to Ultear and ... She is my mother. "
