Chapter 19: First Mission Together – Collection of Wyvern Scales

Mavis' introduction to all guild members was carried out as planned. Makarov introduced Mavis to the rest of the guild the next day. All guild members were shocked by this. Even though they were very surprised and wondered about the situation Mavis was experiencing, they still accepted and welcomed her well. They also learn that even though Mavis has returned, the leadership of the Guild is currently still held by Makarov. Mavis will act as a regular member although she also has the authority to rule over the guild as long as necessary.

The guild members also know that Mavis has currently built a team together with Allen. That information made everyone very surprised which also applied to Laxus and Cana. They really didn't expect that the two of them would build a team together. At the same time, they also knew Allen contributed greatly to Mavis' presence in the guild. Therefore, the respect and awe that the guild members had for Allen had increased to a point that even exceeded their awe and respect for Makarov.

Mavis also took part in trying to test her magical energy. The magic energy possessed by Mavis surpasses the magic energy possessed by Makarov. Her magic energy was at 71. The position of the highest power list held by the Fairy Tail guild had also undergone a very significant change. Mavis currently occupies second place while Makarov has dropped to third place.

Mavis' introduction was a success. All guild members then started carrying out their respective activities. Laxus and Cana immediately went to continue the work they had while the guild members were working, some were relaxing, and some were training.

"How about we do this mission?"

Allen and Mavis are currently in front of the mission board located on the first floor. The two of them are currently choosing the mission they want to carry out. In fact, with the identity and strength that the two of them had, the two of them could have taken on a mission with a more difficult level on the second floor. However, since this was the first mission the two of them would undertake together, they both chose a mission that was relatively easier.

Allen stared at the mission poster taken by Mavis, "Wyvern scale collection mission?"

"Hn," Mavis nodded, she then began to explain excitedly, "Just look at the rewards from this mission! The prizes are not calculated directly but rather by the number of scales we managed to collect! One scale is rewarded with 20,000 Jewels. As long as we successfully collect one hundred scales, we can get a reward of two million Jewels!"

"Oh? That's quite a gift, especially for those of you who need money right now."

"Hn," Mavis nodded back, "How? Can we do this job?"

"Hm, well, I guess it's no problem. I am also interested in coming there"

"Good! Then, let's go tell Third Master about this mission."

Mavis immediately led the way towards Makarov who was sitting relaxed in his place. Knowing that Mavis and Allen had finished choosing the mission they wanted to carry out, Makarov immediately turned his attention to them.

"We want to carry out this mission"

Makarov received the mission sheet poster given to him by Mavis.

"Wyvern scale collection? Okay. You guys can go do it."

"Good" Mavis nodded then looked at Allen, "Let's go get ready"

"Getting ready? What for? We can go there now"

"Huh?" Mavis was stunned to hear Allen's words, she then asked to confirm something, "Allen, don't you know about the climate of Mount Hakone?"

"Snow, isn't it?" Allen answered casually, "We don't need to prepare anything. You just use your magic energy to cover your body. That way, you don't need to wear a jacket or something thick to keep your body warm."

"Can something like that work?" Mavis was a little surprised to hear this.

"Yes, it does have such a function, First Lord" Makarov immediately confirmed it, "I tried it before. Apart from being able to withstand the impact of cold temperatures, the magic energy surrounding our bodies can withstand hot temperatures. As long as we cover our bodies using magic energy. Our bodies will not feel changes in temperature that occur in the surrounding environment."

"Extraordinary…"

"Well, now you know, right? Let's immediately meet the client then go to carry out this mission. I will teach you to use this ability while we are on our way."

"Hn,"

Allen and Mavis immediately walked out of the guild then moved towards where the client published the mission. The client who published the mission was the Heart Kreuz Company. This company is a company that not only makes clothes commonly used by ordinary citizens but also makes clothes commonly used by wizards such as armor and so on. Apart from clothing, this company also accepts requests for making weapons in any form.

********

A luxurious horse-drawn carriage is seen moving towards Mount Hakone. The horse-drawn carriage was a horse-drawn carriage rented by Allen for him and Mavis to use to head to the location where their mission was located, namely Mount Hakone. Inside the horse-drawn carriage, Allen and Mavis can be seen there.

"What do you think?"

Mavis' body now seemed to be covered in yellow magic energy. He was currently implementing what Allen had just taught him.

"That's enough for now. However, I suggest that you practice controlling your magical energy."

Mavis withdrew the magic energy covering her body, "Is my magic energy control that bad?"

"Your control of magic energy cannot be said to be bad, it is good enough but still not good. The magic energy you used previously was too much if only used to withstand cold and hot temperatures. Therefore, I suggest that you practice control of your magical energy. As long as you have good control over your magic energy, you will be able to control the amount of magic energy that comes out of your body. That magic energy won't come out wildly without you noticing at all."

Mavis thought for a moment then nodded, "I guess I'll just have to learn how to do it. Do the people in the guild do it too?"

"They started doing it two months ago" Allen said with a smile, "Every one of them currently has very good control over the magic energy in their possession. Therefore, in recent times, the amount of damage caused by them has also decreased."

"That's very good news. It seems since your arrival to our guild. The headaches experienced by the Third Master are slowly starting to subside." Mavis smiled, she then continued, "Especially after the construction of the business area owned by the guild was completed. The financial problems that have always haunted the guild will be completely resolved. Thank you for providing so much help to the guild, Allen. We are truly lucky to have you join us."

"It's also a pleasure to join this guild and also happy to be useful"

"By the way, Allen. How old do you actually have?"

"Hmm?" Allen raised his eyebrows with interest, "Why are you interested in that?"

Mavis chuckled softly, "You know, it's kind of funny to hear someone younger than you say you're a child."

"Well, they don't know about my true identity and besides, they're not wrong. Now, I am not a Monarch. Currently my identity is a wizard from the Fairy Tail Guild - Allen"

Mavis smiled hearing Allen's words, "Well, what about my previous question? How old are you really? Aren't you tired of living for so long?"

"Bored? Well, as long as you have something to do , someone to love, and friends who always come to freshen up the atmosphere, you will never get bored even if you live for a very long time." Allen answered, "Besides, the time between the human world and the monarch world very different. One day in the monarch world is equal to one year in the human world."

"So much in comparison?"

"Well," Allen nodded, he then answered, "I have lived for more than thousands of years in the world of monarchs. Therefore, if you calculate my age in the human world, I am now more than millions of years old."

Mavis pondered for a moment then said with a smile, "I never thought I would be able to be with a child who is actually millions of years old."

Allen chuckled at the joke made by Mavis.

Mount Hakone

Mount Hakone is an area close to Magnolia City. It only takes an hour's journey by train to arrive at the location. Usually the train will not take you directly to the Mount Hakone area due to the mountain's climate. They will only take them to a distance of one kilometer from the mountain and then wait there until the person who rented them comes back.

The climate of Mount Hakone can be said to be one of the most extreme in the Kingdom of Fiore. There is only one season in the neighborhood. That season is winter. At all times, Mount Hakone is always covered with huge amounts of snow. This place is also the most comfortable residence for living creatures who like to live in cold environments such as Vulcans, Wyverns, and also several other magic monsters.

Allen and Mavis have arrived there and are currently walking towards the Wyvern location which is closest to them. By using his observation Haki ability. Allen managed to find the Wyvern which was only a few kilometers from their position when they first came to Mount Hakone.

Magic energy had now enveloped both of their bodies, causing them to not feel the cold temperature in their surroundings.

"Hmm?"

Allen's steps suddenly stopped which made Mavis also stop her steps.

"What's wrong, Alan?"

"We no longer need to go to the animal. He is currently flying towards---"

"Roar!"

Before Allen finished his sentence, suddenly a grim voice could be heard from in front of them. The roaring figure was finally visible. This figure is a magic monster which has a fairly large body size. He has a body size of around four meters tall followed by wings length of around three meters each. The animal had quite thick scales covering its entire body. He also has long canine teeth and looks vicious. The magic monster also has a body that is white like the snow in that place.

"That's a Wyvern," Mavis muttered when she saw the appearance of the magic monster.

"Heee~ We are lucky that you came to meet us in person. This reduces the workload we have to do." Allen immediately mobilized his magic energy.

An array of bright blue magic circles appeared below and above the Wyvern's body. The magic beast immediately felt a dangerous premonition. However, before he could fly to escape the danger. A large number of chains made of ice emerged from the bright blue magic circle array and began to bind him tightly.

"Roar!"

The room filled with anger was immediately expelled by the Wyvern. He tried to use all the strength he had. However, all his work was in vain. The ice chains created by Allen using his abilities could not be broken by him at all.

"Explosion!"

The Wyren were immediately paralyzed on the snow land they were currently occupying.

"Roar!"

Another roar came out of him. The magic monster stared at Allen and Mavis with an angry look.

"Oh, please don't be angry with us, okay? We don't want to kill you. We only want to take the scales that belong to you. As long as we get what we want, we'll let you go. So, please hold on for a moment"

It was as if he understood what Allen had said to him. The previously rebellious Wyvern immediately fell silent.

"You can talk to them?"

"It's just an instinct that they have," Allen replied, "Beasts have very strong instincts regarding their life and death, especially magic monsters. Therefore, perhaps he knew that fighting back was not an option and seeing the two of us showed no intention of wanting to kill him. He no longer shows any signs of resistance."

"So"

"Let's get to work"

Mavis nodded and immediately took out the small sword stored in her storage room. The two of them immediately approached the Wyvern and started working. Previously, Allen had taught Mavis that magic energy could also be used to increase the sharpness of a weapon. As long as magic energy surrounds a weapon being used, the weapon's sharpness will increase.

Therefore, Mavis currently seemed to have enveloped her small sword using her magic energy. She then began to remove the scales on the left side of the Wyvern's body. Meanwhile, the right side of the body belongs to Allen. They both work very quickly. It only took a few minutes for the two of them to manage to get all the scales that the Wyvern had.

Allen and Mavis then immediately stepped a little away from the Wyvern. Allen then canceled the magic ability released by him. The ice chains binding the Wyvern's body instantly let go and disappeared. Wyvern, who was now free from the ice chains, immediately got up and bowed his head slightly to Allen and Mavis.

"You don't need to thank me. We are the ones who should be grateful because with your scales, we can earn money. Go and find a safe place to stay. During this period of time, don't let humans discover you. Otherwise your life will be in danger."

"Hn"

The Wyvern nodded and immediately flew away, leaving Allen and Mavis there.

"I still find it hard to believe that he could understand the words you said."

"Assuming he understands" Allen said casually, "How much did you get?"

"I got 25 scales. How about you?"

"The 30 scales I got" Allen said casually, "Do you still want to continue collecting Wyvern scales? Coincidentally, there is a Wyvern only five kilometers from where we are now."

Mavis pondered for a moment and nodded then said, "Make that last then let's go back. I want to quickly learn how to control my magic energy."

"You don't need to go back to study. You can study here now."

"Huh?"

Mavis was stunned to hear this.

"Enveloping your body with magic energy can be used as training to control your magic energy. You can slowly adjust the amount of magic energy used by you to withstand the cold temperature in this environment. If you feel the cold temperature has started to enter your body, then increase the use of your magic energy. Meanwhile, if you don't feel the cold temperature entering your body, you can slowly reduce your magical energy usage so that you can know the ideal amount to use."

"I see" Mavis nodded solemnly.

"We don't need to go back so soon. Coincidentally there were three Wyverns not too far from us. We can hunt for the scales they have and then come back."

"I'll just go along with your plan." Mavis smiled then said, "Then let's go to the other targets."

"Hn,"

Allen started leading Mavis to the other Wyvern. Throughout the journey, Mavis continued to experiment with the use of the amount of magical energy needed to envelop her body. The moment he felt that the cold temperature was starting to enter her body, she began to increase the use of the magic energy that enveloped her body. On the contrary, when she didn't feel the cold temperature entering her body, she began to slowly lower the magic energy surrounding her body. It only took a few tries until she really succeeded in doing it.

The thing he needed to pay attention to now was to maintain the amount of magic energy used in a stable state. Even though it sounds very easy, this is actually very difficult to do, especially the first time you do it.
