Chapter 8: I don't know any offensive magic
After the celebration, Makarov escorted Sera and Akira to his house. Due to the celebration, they didn't realize the passage of time till it was nightfall. And since Sera and Akira are still homeless Makarov decided to let them stay at his house temporarily.
Although Sera could stay at the female dormitory she didn't want that since that meant separating from Akira. Even if he is a kid Akira cannot enter the female dormitory after all. Originally they intended to go to an inn but Makarov insisted that it was a waste of money and they could just crash at his place.
Since they had nothing to lose Sera accepted his offer while also asking him to help her select a good house in the neighborhood for them to purchase. Makarov agreed to this as this wasn't a big problem for him who has enough connections all over the Magnolia.
~ The Next Day ~
In the early morning Makarov, Sera, and Akira walked towards the guild together. As the guild leader Makarov usually comes to the guild in the early morning. This is a habit he had since young. And it just so happened that both Akira and Sera were also ready to head out.
"Hey president what sorts of quests can I take " Akira asked he looked at Makarov. Yesterday he saw that there were different ranks for each quest so Akira was curious and asked around.
On the first floor, there are F- A rank quests while on the second floor, there are S - SS rank quests. There are also decade and hundred-year quests but those are only accessible under the guild master's permission.
Usually, a newbie should start by taking care of F-rank quests and gradually gain experience to take on higher-rank quests. But since Sera and Akira brought back monsters that are on the limit of at least B rank they should be able to get special permission to take on high-ranking quests.
Makarov looked at Akira and said, "Well Akira for now you can't take on quests since I have yet to evaluate your and Sera's combat level. So you would first need to have a spar with anyone in the guild for me to get a rough understanding. "
"I see, that is understandable " Sera nodded her head as she heard Makarov's words.
Hearing the words spar, Akira was very excited. During these past years, he has been practicing swordsmanship that he learned from the memories of the twin swords.
At first, it was very hard as although he had all the memories his body still couldn't perform them. Fortunately, his dragon blood seemed to have buffed his physique making him able to train at the age of 2.
If not for that he wouldn't dare to pick up a sword even if it meant being helpless at a dangerous opportunity. A normal toddler cannot do any physical training or else he would be just damaging his body.
" Good morning president, " the receptionist said as she greeted Makarov as he entered the guild. She is a shoulder-length dark purple-haired girl with violet eyes. She is a woman of average height with tanned skin, large breasts, and a curvaceous figure.
" Good morning to you too Enno " Makarov greeted the girl with a smile. " Did Macao come yet? " he asked as he looked around.
" No, he hasn't arrived yet. " Enno said as she shook her head.
" I see that's a shame. Well anyway, tell him I asked for him after comes to the guild. " Makarov said as he walked towards the bar.
" I will president " Enno nodded as she went back to work.
" Sorry, kid you might have to wait for a bit. Say why don't we have breakfast first and if Macao hasn't arrived yet I will personally test you " Makarov said as he looked at Sera and Akira with an apologetic smile.
" Ok that's fine with us, " Sera said as she nodded her head. She wasn't in a hurry to take any quests. The money she earned is enough to let them survive for a week at least even after buying a house.
After breakfast all three of them went to the guild's backyard where there is a training ground. In addition to them, there was Macao who just arrived at the guild and was informed by Enno about Makarov's request.
" Say president, why do I have to test the newcomers? Couldn't you ask that bastard Wakaba to do it " Macao complained as he scratched his hair. He was about to score some game with Enno when she pushed him away saying that the president wanted to see him.
" You idiot because you are the person who comes to the guild earliest. If I had to wait for Wakaba then I would at least need to wait for another 2 hours. " Makarov shouted.
It is public knowledge that Enno the guild receptionist has a lot of admirers. In all of them, Macao has the highest chance of getting together with her as he always comes early in the morning to talk to her.
Others also tried to do this but they all gave up after trying for two days. Every day these bastards drink till it's late at night so how could they come early in the morning with a huge headache?
And apart from Macao who miraculously manages to wake up early every morning no one really comes to the guild this early.
" Fine fine hey kid let's get this over with" Macao grumbled as he beckoned Akira to cover over.
Both of them stood at their designated places. Makarov came between them and began his explanation, "Since this is just a spar to test Akira's skills no lethal blows are allowed.
Macao be sure to hold your strength accordingly so as not to harm Akira. The fight would end when one party surrendered or I stopped the fight.
Do any of you have any questions "
Akira raised his hand prompting Makarov to let him ask his question.
" So umm do you guys have any wooden swords? " Akira asked with a bit of embarrassment that he himself didn't know why.
" Well there are some in the cupboard but why, does activating your magic require a weapon as a medium? " Makarov asked.
" Well umm well you see the thing here is I don't really have any offensive magic yet. The one I awakened is something passive" Akira said as he threw a blaming look at Sera. She was the one who refused to teach him any magic.
" Oh then we should just go to the library and find you something that will suit you, " Makarov said as he understood the problem. But before he could take a step back he heard,
" Umm even though I can't use magic doesn't mean I can't fight. You know half of the monsters we sold were captured by me, " Akira said with a bit of annoyance.
" Oh if that's the case then why don't we test that? Hey president, can you pass that training sword we got for Laxus to him? " Macao, who was uninterested this whole time, got interested when he heard Akira's words.
Although he didn't believe that a small kid like Akira could actually do it. That is just his assumption. In this world, many things can happen that are said to be impossible. So Macao wanted to see whether this kid was just bragging or he was actually skilled.
Seeing the look in both of their eyes Makarov nodded and took out a wooden sword that would fit perfectly in Akira's arm. He got this sword for Laxus but that guy likes to use hand-to-hand combat so it was in his storage space for a while.
" Here tell me when you are ready," Makarov said as he handed Akira the wooden sword.
Akira thanked Makarov and began to do some practice swings to get a field of it. This is his first time handling a sword as he was only allowed to use some very strong wooden sticks that were enchanted by Sera when they were hunting.
