The Kingdom of Fiore, a neutral country of 17 million people. People who use magic as an occupation are commonly referred to as wizards. However, there is another certain magic occupation other than wizards - assassins.

Lucy scanned through the list of names displayed within the pocket-sized lacrima.

Rageen, Magnolia.
Dore, Magnolia.
Helane, Magnolia.
Celelle, Crocus.
Dark Guild, Terrorain

She raised her eyebrows, then glanced out the window. Due to the fast train speed, the scenery blurred and was nearly impossible make out. The sharp tree branches scraped against the speedy vehicle, creating near-deafening screeching noises. Lucy looked up, scanning her surroundings. Nearly half of the passengers were covering their ears, and the other half seemed very experienced. They had brought along a legendary saviour, the earplugs.

Lucy chuckled. She was quite unfazed by the loud screeching disaster.
'Thank god I'm a wizard...' she thought as a sense of pride washed over her. Of course. With Fiore being the leading country possessing numerous magical items and wizards, there had to be a creation that blocked out loud sounds. Many civilians didn't believe in magical items, but why would that bother wizards?

They're quite effective.

Her guild master's secretary, Haze, had provided her enough information to successfully complete this mission with less difficulty. She had the guild and apartment Lucy would reside in written down, including information about the guild and its whereabouts.

Fairy Tail, huh?

According to the information given to her, Fairy Tail was previously the strongest guild in Fiore, until all of their strongest wizards mysteriously went missing seven years ago during the S-Class Trials along with their sacred island, Tenroujima. Fairy Tail's remaining members couldn't afford the fees of the large guild building and was forced to move to a cheaper location, far away from the main area of Magnolia. Furthermore, the guild was badly in debt and were facing difficulties with the new local guild, Twilight Ogre.

Lucy smile bitterly. Although she truly believed in Haze's capabilities and skills, she had the urge to file a complaint.

You're sending me to one of the weakest guilds, their members have mysteriously disappeared and they're financially broke. Sounds unfortunate to m-

"Excuse me?"

Her head snapped up, clearly alarmed. Her eyes scrutinised the person before her.
Even with a cloak masking their identity, the deep husky voice and tall muscular figure immediately revealed their gender.

"Is this seat free?" he asked, slightly tapping the seat opposite her's. The carriage was pretty crowded and of course, with half the passengers blocking their ears, it was pretty difficult for communication. Fortunately, Lucy's magic device only blocked out unpleasant sounds.

She grinned and gestured him to take a seat. As he sat down, she caught sight of his long fringe. His cloak revealed a bit of his clothes, a pale grey shirt and a long sash that extended down to below his knees. Comparing his dark clothes to her silky white long skirt and pale blue blouse, they resembled yin and yang.

The male let out an exhausted sigh as he leaned against the window for support. A hand clasped over his mouth as he groaned.

Lucy pondered for a moment, glancing at her small pouch, then back at him.
"Sir," she began, "Are you experiencing motion sickness?"
"Was that too nosy of me?" she pondered.

The male looked up, taking a good look at Lucy's appearance and attire. Her platinum blonde hair was casually gathered up into a bun, her clothes were quite the opposite of his and a book was loosely grasped in her hands. Her eyes were the colour of a deep sienna, with an innocent yet sharp glint that seemed to pierce through his soul. A mischievous smile plastered on her light-pink lips as she faintly chuckled at his half-dead appearance.

Looking up meant exposing his own face, and that was exactly what he did. His blood red irises blinked a few times before nodding.

Lucy giggled, "I brought along some medicine, would you lik-"

A sudden strong gust of wing slammed into the carriage, causing it to shake uncontrollably. The civilians snatched out their earplugs and let out loud fearful exclamations. Their panicked expressions and loud shouts were quickly overwhelmed by a loud 'thud' and the carriage leaned sideways.

Lucy and the male narrowed their eyes, placing their attention on the window.

"This isn't an accident," they both confirmed.

Another loud 'thud' could be heard as another powerful wave of wind slammed against the front of the carriage, creating a massive quake. The male, who was still experiencing motion sickness stumbled forward towards Lucy. His teeth gritted and his hand lunged forward to stop himself from falling on her, while her arm struck forwards to assist him.
Successfully regaining his balance, the male let out a sigh of relief, but he soon widened his eyes.

Heck.

"Yes that's my luggage, yes, thank you very much."
Lucy grabbed her small suitcase in a daze. Her lips twitched as she thanked the attendant and collected her remaining items, preparing to exit the station.

The incident on the train was solved in five minutes. A villain attempted to destroy the last carriage while her lackeys scurried through the suitcases for treasures and money. The villain possessed a wind element item that could create strong gushes of wind, but she didn't have an escape route, which resulted in her imprisonment.

But that wasn't shocking to her. She wasn't very affected by that event. Instead, it was 5 minutes before the villain was captured, and it almost made her lose her composure.

[The male's cloak flew off the moment he stumbled forward, revealing his tied up shoulder-length jet black hair and desperate expression to save himself.]

Well- Yes, he was quite the looker.
But that also wasn't the disaster.

[His palm grabbed onto the closest thing for support and Lucy also struck her palm forwards, and their stumbling bodies leaned against the other's hands. She wasn't aware of their awkward position until she took a glance at his face, it was white.

Motion sickness? she wondered for a split second, until she felt an uncomfortable movement on her left chest.]

Lucy's eyes twitched, trying to convince herself that everything was just her imagination, an event she dreamt of during her minimal sleep during the travel. His hand was grabbing her left breast, while she was leaning against his body, her hand placed on top of his right chest.

Heck.

"10 minutes. Just 10 minutes, and I'm already experiencing a shock." She muttered.

I'm an assassin. Killing, capturing, torturing and intimidating them- I'm used to it. Why are you fussing over an accidental intimate position?

She dragged her luggage over to a book store. Haze had already handed her a detailed map of Magnolia but Lucy, the lost child, was terrible with directions. She could only depend on the street signs at this point. Sighing, Lucy approached an old woman selling items at a stand to ask for directions.

"Excuse me?" Lucy politely asked with a warm smile, "Do you happen to know where Fairy Tail's building is?"

Scanning Lucy with her squinting eyes, the old woman muttered, "Which building? The second building is at the edge of the town."

"Young lady, I don't recommend joining that poor guild."

Lucy cocked her head to the side with a questioning look. The old woman interpreted her confused expression as shocked and offended.

"Joining that small weak guild isn't gonna do you any good," she stated, "A cursed guild will just let down Magnolia."

"Wow. Fairy Tail must be very hated." Lucy grinned. She quickly thanked the old woman, complete ignoring the small piece of advice given to her before paying for the weekly sorcerer, a magazine that details all about guilds and their functions.

A photograph of the strongest guild was printed on as a front cover for the magazine. A woman with straight black hair stood in the middle of the photograph. Her distinct aura of conceitedness and pride defined her strength as she posed with a smirk.
Minerva Orland,
the strongest member of Sabertooth.
Lucy scanned through the members, until her eyes stopped on a certain figure.

Immediately recognising that familiar face she had an accident with a while ago, she bitterly laughed. The Twin Dragons of Sabertooth, a team composed of two members, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney. The light and shadow dragon slayers stood behind Minerva in the magazine cover. Sting had a look of arrogance on his face, Rogue remained stoic and expressionless. Lucy flipped through the pages to find more information on Rogue.

Rogue Cheney, the Shadow Dragonslayer
-One of the top five strongest mages of Sabertooth.
-Rumoured to have killed his dragon.
-Partner of Sting Eucliffe.

"Wow, he's a very famous person," Lucy muttered under her breath. She really didn't expect to see the black haired male on the cover of a magazine. Flipping the magazine shut, she let out a slight smirk and began navigating her way to the second Fairy Tail building.

Magnolia was the second town with the highest crime rates, just behind the leading capital city, Crocus. Her 3 targets from Magnolia were famous for their vast number of crimes inflicted on civilians such as murder, theft and blackmailing.

Bloodless, an assassination guild, assigns their S-Class members difficult missions to complete within a year or two. As an S-class assassin from Bloodless, Lucy Heartfilia travelled around the Kingdom of Fiore searching for her targets, and given a list of targets to kill in Magnolia, she was ordered to join a guild to keep a low profile. After all, legal guilds weren't commonly known for crimes and many strong guilds were supported by civilians. Fairy Tail was an exception.

She stood outside the second building of Fairy Tail, with her long white skirt and blouse flowing in the wind as she examined the small tavern. Its walls were mainly composed of bricks, bearing visible cracks here and there, and a large orange banner with the Fairy Tail insignia imprinted on it hung from the roof.
Lifting her arm to push the door open, Lucy mentally prepared herself for the sight of bankruptcy. As the door slowly creaked open, a tattered wooden chair flew across the room along with an ear-piercing war cry. Her eyes flashed and she slightly leaned her body to the right, dodging the flying chair.

"We don't have the money!" A man with a deep voice announced, his voice a bit strained. "Come tomorrow."

Lucy inwardly sighed. She was prepared for an angry welcome, but not a dull and sorrowful one. She could sense their emptiness and helplessness radiating out from the members. She turned to the frustrated voice that spoke up the moment the doors were pushed open. The man didn't bother to look at the visitor, assuming that the debt collectors had returned.

This should be their current guild master, Macao.

"I'm here to join the guild," she said out loud as she made her way to a stool facing the bar.

Macao's eyes widened and he turned to face Lucy with an expression of disbelief. Slowly standing up, he made his way towards Lucy.

"That's impossible. What's your motive?" he interrogated. Macao's face darkened, he didn't trust her enough.

Who in their mind would walk in and join the weakest guild of Fiore?

Lucy smiled again, the corners of her lips twitching. "Yes, I know what you're thinking old man. I'm a spy or just plain stupid, hah?"

"Sir," she said, "I've heard rumours about this guild. It was the strongest seven years ago."
Lucy stood up, gracefully patting the dust off her dress. "When I was just a youth, I've always looked up to Fairy Tail."
She grabbed her luggage, looked at the members and said, "Fairy Tail was my inspiration. I wish to join."

Lucy stepped out of tavern, she had to force herself to not look back. Are you kidding me? I've expressed my passion for this guild and they won't let me-
"Wait!" Yep.

Lucy halted and turned around with an innocent confused expression. Macao rubbed his temples to ease his headache. He didn't know whether to believe this girl or not.
"Our guild is declining." Macao thought and quickly made a decision, "Of course you can join Fairy Tail, but you may regret it."

Of course, Macao didn't mean to sound threatening. One of the members behind Macao, Romeo, stomped up to Lucy. His height required Lucy to slightly look down. He was a slim young boy with dark purple hair. Romeo stared at Lucy for a very long time without blinking.

Lucy sweat-dropped. Is this kid done yet? His neck should be aching by now from looking up...

"What's your name!" Romeo yelled/asked, slightly causing her to jump.
This kid needs chill, she thought.

Lucy beamed and raised her hand to offer a handshake.

"My name is Lucy Heartfilila, nice to meet you all!" and you threw a chair at me!

Day 1.

It had only been a day, and she was already dead tired from celebrating her arrival with the guild. Of course, it wasn't a big celebration. With the core members still missing, how could they relax?

According to the information, Fairy Tail used to be a very rowdy guild before their core members disappeared.

Jumping onto the fluffy bed in her rented apartment, she recalled a lot of the guild member's names.

The couple and their child, Alzack, Bisca and Asuka.
Wakaba, Romeo...

Many people were actually still searching for the missing members.

She also tried to recall many of the missing member's names. They were mentioned when Macao was explaining to her about the S-class trials in Tenroujima Island, Fairy Tail's sacred land.

Lucy decided to have her Fairy Tail insignia on her right hand in pink. She had her Bloodless insignia on her back, it wasn't too hard to hide.

As she was picking out an outfit for tomorrow, scrolling through the list of targets, memorising their information and sharpening her tools, Lucy felt her eyes grow heavier and heavier.

She placed her lacrima down and shut her eyes closed, falling into a deep slumber.
