Kana was a little dazed. Erza and Mirajane had managed to trap her here.
But just as Erza thought, she really couldn't just leave Gildarts alone; as a member of Fairy Tail, she couldn't do it.
It's not that Gildarts really destroys everything he goes around; he wouldn't normally do that. The real danger is if he suddenly gets distracted while walking, which would be the most dangerous situation.
Just like the space distortion magic that automatically activates when someone sleeps, the Gildarts were distracted, but the magic didn't activate. If they were to bump into something, the "crushing magic" would be activated, allowing the Gildarts to move freely.
Fortunately, Gildarts knows to avoid people, so even in that situation, he won't hurt anyone, but he's not so kind to buildings, plants, and trees.
Therefore, when Gildarts is wandering around the city, it's best to have someone keep an eye on him and remind him if things seem amiss.
Kana sighed, but eventually caught up with him. She quietly followed Gildarts, walking not far behind the man, watching his back, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Gildarts, her father, the father she had never acknowledged.
Their relationship now is merely that of guildmates; perhaps in Gildarts' eyes, she is still shy.
A withdrawn little girl who is not enthusiastic and doesn't like to join in the fun.
Because whenever the children surrounded Gildarts, Kana would always watch from afar and never join them.
Did she not want to move closer? She did want to, she wanted to be close to her father, but she couldn't, because she was a forgotten child, a child who had never been cared for...
Cana wanted to achieve something, to succeed. She wanted to gain the same status as Gildarts and then reunite with him. She wanted the man who was her father to look at her with new respect, to praise her and commend her abilities.
Without becoming an "S-class mage", Cana doesn't know how to face Gildarts. Should she beg for mercy from Gildarts, her father, as an abandoned and forgotten child?
Cana's mindset is a little stubborn, but it's understandable. After all, she was still young when she arrived, and she didn't know what kind of attitude Gildarts had towards her and her mother.
At first, from Cana's perspective, Gildarts, her father, was both unfamiliar and powerful, and perhaps even somewhat cold-hearted, since he had never visited her and her mother until her mother died.
It's normal that Cana didn't recognize Gildarts when she first arrived at Fairy Tail. Although her impression of Gildarts changed after observation, she missed the first chance and it became difficult to speak to him again.
Cana set a goal and a direction for herself: to become an "S-class mage." Once she became an "S-class mage," she would succeed.
She was a "Class Mage" and confronted Gildarts directly!
In retrospect, this goal was somewhat unrealistic; the requirement of becoming an "S-class mage" in "Fairy Tail" was far too high!
Sometimes even Kana herself would sigh silently. After trying for so many years, she had never succeeded. Instead, she became more aware of the gap between herself and an "S-class mage". Becoming an "S-class mage" seemed to have become an impossible thing.
But Kana herself was unwilling to give up just like that; she couldn't convince herself, and she would rather continue like this forever.
"Kana? What are you doing here?"
Just as Kana's thoughts were churning, Gildarts's puzzled voice rang out, bringing Kana back to her senses. She looked up.
Gildarts had stopped a short distance ahead, looking at her with a puzzled expression, because if Kana continued walking forward, she would bump directly into him.
"Uh...it's nothing, just browsing around."
Faced with Gildarts's doubts, Cana made up a reason.
"oh....
'
Gildarts scratched his head and responded somewhat awkwardly. He really didn't know how to communicate with Kana. The main reason was that he and Kana didn't talk much. To put it bluntly, they weren't familiar with each other at all. They were just guildmates with no personal relationship whatsoever.
Gildarts turned and left, while Cana silently followed behind him, faithfully fulfilling her duty.
"
""
Gildarts turned to look at Cana. He could understand the guild sending someone to follow him, and he supported the guild in doing so to prevent him from causing damage to the city, but following him like this was unacceptable!
"How about... we go shopping together?"
Kana's blatant following behind him, step by step, made Gildarts quite embarrassed, so he took the initiative to invite Kana to go for a walk together.
"Magnolia has changed a lot, and there are many places I'm not familiar with. Let's take a walk together, and you can tell me about them."
"
Gildarts smiled and invited Cana to join him on the trip. He had a really good temper and treated the younger members of the guild like children, even though they seemed indifferent to him.
"-...Together?!"
Kana was somewhat shocked by Gildarts' invitation. This was truly the first time that the two of them, "father and daughter," had interacted in this way. This was the first time Gildarts had invited her, and it was even the first time that the two of them had spoken for such a long time.
"Is it inconvenient?"
Gildarts looked puzzled. He wondered if the child was just there to keep him company. Wasn't it the same whether he kept him company secretly or by his side?
"6
""
Cana didn't answer. She simply lowered her head and took a few steps forward to Gildarts' side, keeping a slight distance between them. This gesture naturally signified that she accepted the invitation.
Gildarts smiled, thinking to himself that this kid was quite introverted.
It must be said that Gildarts didn't pay much attention to or have much of an impression of Cana, otherwise he would definitely have noticed the special way Cana acted when she was with him.
With so many mages in Fairy Tail, and even more entangled around Gildarts, he really didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to a child who didn't take the initiative to get close to him.
He couldn't possibly pull a fast one like "woman, you've successfully caught my attention" just because Kana wasn't actively trying to get close to him, could he?
In contrast, Cana knows Gildarts better, since although she didn't actively approach him, she had been keeping an eye on him.
Walking beside Gildarts and listening to his questions, Cana answered earnestly, her inner emotions surging, far from the calm she appeared on the surface—a feeling she had never experienced before.
Although she couldn't call him "father," at this moment, Kana truly felt as if she were touring "Magnolia" with her father.
As they walked and talked, her feigned aloofness disappeared, and she gradually began to reveal her lively nature.
Gildarts was surprised, but he quickly understood. Kana might have just been "shy" before, that was just because she wasn't familiar with him. But now that they'd spent time together, Kana had quickly been won over by his personal charm, so naturally she wouldn't continue to treat him coldly.
All I can say is that he completely misunderstood.
But in any case, this was the most comfortable time the father and daughter had spent together in all these years, and both of them were in a very good mood.
After wandering around for a while, Kana was still a little reluctant to leave. Gildarts took the initiative to part ways with her. It was getting late, and men and women should keep to themselves. Of course, he would not continue to entangle with Kana. Although he was a womanizer, Gildarts would not lay a hand on his guildmates, let alone a junior. He knew to avoid suspicion.
Watching Gildarts leave so casually, Cana pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and mentally encouraged herself.
"No matter what, I'll fight with all my might to qualify for promotion this time! No matter what... I must become an S-rank mage!"
The day spent with Gildarts further solidified Cana's resolve and deepened her obsession with becoming an S-class mage, to the point of near madness.
From the moment she boarded the flying crow bound for "Harugeon" until she transferred to the ship bound for Tenrou Island, Kana remained in a state of high excitement, as if she had been injected with adrenaline.
"What's wrong with Kana?"
Moen found it a bit strange, so he asked Mirajane, who was sitting next to him.
If Kana were in his previous world, she would probably be taken for a urine test right now, as if she had taken too much stimulant.
"Ahem, she spent a day with Uncle Gildarts in Magnolia the other day. As for what happened, you can ask Uncle Gildarts."
Mirajane coughed softly twice, then quietly revealed the truth. She hadn't expected Kana to be affected so much, since Kana had always been avoiding Gildarts.
"Forehead....
'
Moen's eyes widened. He immediately understood why Kana was acting this way.
Gildarts is, after all, Cana's biological father. Although it's not unusual for the two of them to spend a day in Magnolia, it was definitely a huge breakthrough for Cana.
Moen glanced at Uncle Gildarts, who seemed perfectly normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Clearly, Cana hadn't revealed the truth to him, and Gildarts was still completely in the dark.
"It seems Kana is determined to pass this exam."
Moen sighed, unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. If it didn't succeed in the end, the blow to Kana would be enormous.
I don't think there's much hope.
Erza, standing nearby, made her judgment. She didn't think Cana would be able to break through the encirclement. Among these examinees, Cana's strength was indeed not up to par, and she was somewhat mediocre.
"When it comes to magic, anything is possible."
Moen smiled. This "Sky Wolf Island" is different. There is another examiner watching the assessment on this island.
Mavis, the first guild master of Fairy Tail, has her spirit residing on Tenrou Island. She is also one of the examiners, and Moen had already come to speak with her beforehand.
"Of course!"
Three days ago, Mavis readily accepted Moen's invitation.
The spirit sat on her own tombstone, swinging her little feet with an innocent and carefree look. She did indeed look like a "fairy," with very little human presence. Of course, she wasn't human to begin with.
"You rejected my magic back then, do you regret it now?"
Looking at Moen, Mavis tilted her head slightly, giving the impression that "if you beg me now, I can still teach you."
"No, I have no shortage of magic. Whether it's attack, defense, single-target, or area-of-effect attacks, I have special moves, moves that are enough to make me stand out from the crowd. There shouldn't be a more versatile mage than me."
When faced with the somewhat arrogant Mavis, Moen's reply was quite blunt, which aroused Mavis's dissatisfaction and complaints.
"Moen, you little rascal, you've got quite the big mouth. Talking about being all-around amazing, don't you know my past and reputation?"
Standing on her own tombstone, Mavis stood with her hands on her hips, her emerald green eyes filled with pride, her long golden curly hair moving without wind. The first president's personality was actually as childlike as her appearance, but she didn't like people saying she was "like a child."
"I know that. Grandpa Makarov mentioned to me that you are well-versed in almost all the magic on the continent, have an extremely intelligent mind and powerful magic, and are a true master of magic. You created three super magics: Fairy Law, Fairy Radiance, and Fairy Sphere. You were a genius who amazed an era."
Moen nodded and began to talk about what he knew about Mebbes. He didn't know much, and it was all very general, but there was nothing he could do about it.
It's because Mavis is of such a high generation; she was a close friend of Makarov's grandfather's father, making her three generations older than Moen, belonging to the "great-grandmother" generation. This is truly "meeting the great-grandmother."
In fact, Grandpa Makarov never actually spent time with Mavis. Mavis passed away shortly after he was born, taking his mother with her. The information he had was from the books and from two other elders. Of the four founders of Fairy Tail, two are still alive.
One of them is confirmed to be alive and is currently one of the "Ten Wizard Saints". The other one, the "Second Guild Master", is currently missing. After all, he has been gone for too long and there has been no news of him. No one can be sure of his condition.
"Hmph~ Pretty much~ No exaggeration~"
Hearing Moen's words, Mavis couldn't help but hum softly, looking very pleased. She really did have a childlike mentality, and Moen's words really hit the nail on the head.
"Then I'll leave the second stage of the review to you."
Seeing Mavis's beaming face, Moen smiled and asked again, hoping that Mavis would be in charge of overseeing the second stage of the assessment, and also to let the first guild leader take a look at the guild's current elites and see if there were any who caught his eye.
While Moen himself doesn't learn those "super magic" techniques, he can pass them on to his other companions. Mavis is clearly not the type to hoard her knowledge; as long as someone is a member of Fairy Tail and has her approval, she doesn't mind teaching them magic.
