[Adam C. POV]

And so, the months passed.

Not much to say about it, other than I had come to learn that being a Guild Master was quite the annoying endeavor. Paperwork alone was the bane of my existence.

As far as the progress in saving my friends. Well, things were going well all things considered, Urahara had taken the first few months in Earthland to familiarize himself with magic as a whole, you know, before trying to tamper with one of the most advanced spells around.

That being said, being the genius he is, it didn’t take him long to fully grasp magic as a whole, it literally took him four months to go from a novice to Mavis level.

Dark Écriture.

Letter Magic.

And Rune Magic.

Were some of the few he had learned and mastered during this time.

Needless to say, he was fascinated with how things worked here, like a kid in a candy shop, he was enjoying himself to the fullest.

Anywho…

After Urahara had gotten a handle on the basics as he said, even though that was far more than just the basics, he began his research in order to shatter Mavis’ spell.

He was confident that he could crack the spell soon enough, but for that he needed time and resources. So, I left him to it, trusting in his abilities and intelligence.

In the meantime, I focused on rebuilding the guild. With the help of my fellow guild members, we renovated the destroyed guild hall, did some marketing to recover some of the clients we lost, and reported to the Royal Family to let them know I was alive.

Beyond that, well, there was Yoruichi.

She was having a blast, taking on jobs and partying with the Guild, it was almost as if she had always been a part of the family.

As far as Magic goes, she had mastered two.

Animal Spirit/Animal Possession.

And Combo Star.

Animal Possession; allowed her to confine the souls of animals into her body, or specific parts of her body, in order to use them in battle. When using the soul of a confined animal into one of her body parts, said animal’s soul covers the certain body part in an aura in the shape of that animal.

It was funny how well that power fit her.

As for her other magic, Combo Star. Well, this magic was pretty straightforward. As long as Yoruichi continues attacking her opponent without interruption, each consecutive blow doubles in force compared to the previous one. Though said bonus chain breaks if the chain of attacks is interrupted.

Things were getting better for Fairy Tail.

As for me, personally that is.

Well…

I was still dealing with the fact I was the son of a supposed deity, though in my opinion I considered the Soul King more of an Ascended Being than a deity.

But that was beyond the point.

I was still trying to come to terms with this, and what it meant for me.

Other than that, well, I was growing a beard. To look more Master-like. I was going for a rugged style, so there was that.

I was also training, though nowadays it was less training and more meditation. My battle with Aizen had changed a lot within me, or perhaps it had awakened a lot within me, I was still on the fence about that, the point was, I was getting used to the change.

“Yo Adam,” Yoruichi called out, interrupting my thoughts. “Got any good jobs?”

I looked up at her, noticing the mischievous glint in her eyes. “Depends on what you’re looking for,” I replied, crossing my arms over my chest.

Yoruichi grinned, her excitement palpable. “Something challenging,” she said. “I’m itching for a good fight.”

I raised an eyebrow, considering her request. “Well, there’s a job from the Magic Council. They’re looking for someone to investigate a string of disappearances in a nearby town. The mission is ranked SS, so there’s a chance you might get a good fight there.”

Yoruichi’s grin widened. “Perfect. I’ll take it.”

I chuckled, tossing the job request her way.

“See ya later~” Yoruichi winked before blurring out of sight.

If her previous jobs are anything to go by, she will come back in a month or so. Not because the job will take her that long, no, she will finish that today or tomorrow, she’s quite the detective. The real reason it will take her a month to come back, is because she usually spends all her reward money having fun afterwards.

Drinks.

Spas.

Food.

She’s the embodiment of living paycheck to paycheck.

I still remember the day I promoted her, and Urahara to S class. It had been but a week since they had joined the Guild, so needless to say they hadn’t passed any test, nevertheless, I decided to give them the rank.

Why?

Multiple reasons.

Most of the Guild reacted in a shocked manner to this. It took me saying that they were as strong as me to silence them.

A statement that was both accurate, and a lie.

I was stronger than them in terms of power, yes, but that was only true as an unbound soul. With a Gigai, the absolute maximum I could output was the same as they could.

The only difference was that for me that absolute maximum was a lower percentage to my overall power than it was to them.

As for my reasons to promote them. Well, one, it would’ve been pointless to test them. I knew how strong they were and capable they were.

Two, it would’ve been wasteful. At the time I had promoted them, the Guild had no S-Class mages, meaning the best jobs would go to waste.

And while I could’ve technically taken any S-Ranked job or higher and done it, it would’ve gotten in the way of restoring the Guild.

So, I took the best possible option I had. One that benefited me, the Guild, and Urahara and Yoruichi.

By promoting them, I would have members capable of dealing with the big jobs, which in turn would restore Fairy Tail’s fallen fame.

What did Urahara and Yoruichi get out of this? Well, the chance to explore, and have some fun. They both wanted to do that in one way or another, I was just making sure to milk that for the Guild’s benefit.

“Master!”

I blinked, snapping out of my train of thoughts as a tsunami of ravens entered the office.

…

Right, I had forgotten I had a familiar. I wonder what took him so long to find me.
