A/N: Hey everyone! Quite a surprise isn't it? Me of all people posting 2 chaoters in one month. What sorcery is this? Just kidding! I'm trying to update my stores more often! Oh all of my dear readers don't forget to leave a review no matter how small. They really help and encourage the writer.
As for the pairing suggestions, I'm quite surprised to see Levy in them. But giving it thought, her ability is actually quite similar to Rohan's ina way. So far the pairing is RohanxLevy and RohanxMirajane.
Anyways, let's get to the story
CHAPTER 3: BREAKING POINT AND LIMITS
A sigh escaped from the handsome youth's lips. He swore if he had know things would play out like this, he had not come here at all.
"This is the last time I'm telling you get out of the way" Rohan said with an annoyed huff.
His train seat was just a few feets away from where he stood, the only thing standing between him and his seat was a group of wizards. Upon closer inspection their appearances resembling more that of thugs and pricks rather than members to the mangaka.
"You hear him, guys? He thinks he is some celebrity. What nerve this guy has!" said one of the guys.
"Hey, I know this guy. He is the new mangaka, Rohan Kishibe. He is quite a hot topic among girls and manga readers." quipped another.
"Oh? Is that so? I never liked his shitty manga anyway. Another reason to teach this guy a lesson not to mess with Eisenwald's guild."
Rohan resisted the urge to shake his head. First, this guy shoved him and tried to pick a fight with him and now he was insulting his manga. Though by the looks of them, Rohan assumed they had pretty shitty taste to begin with.
"Whatever I don't have the patience or time to deal with you shitheads. Heaven's Do-"
Rohan was about to use his stand to get rid of the annoyance but suddenly huge words appeared on floor.
'HOLE'
Much to Rohan's surprise, the group fell straight into the word as if the word itself mimicked the properties of the aspect they were describing. On closer inspection, Rohan noticed that only the letter 'O' itself had become the whole, despite his feet standing on the letter "L", he was still standing.
"What a bunch of bullies. Always trying to pick on the innocent. I heard their guild took over the nearby station but was taken out by Erza and others. As expected from Fairy Tail members." came a feminine voice.
It was a rather young, petite teenage girl of a slender build who stood at below-average height for her age. Her shoulder-length blue hair was tied up with a colorful bandana around her head, her blue bangs partially covering her eyebrows. The orange tank top she was wearing revealed the crest of her guilt above her scapula.
"She is a Fairy Tail member too?" Rohan mused out loud.
"And you mister should not let anyone bully you" scolded the blue haired girl.
"Ah...yeah" replied Rohan awkwardly,taken aback by her forward attitude. "Thanks for the help, Ms...uh...?"
"Ah I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Levy McGarden" said the girl, an impossibly radiant smile suddenly upon her face.
"Rohan. Rohan Kishibe"
The girl narrowed her her eyes, her smile disappearing as fast as it had appeared, she leaned forward and studied his eyes with an intense gaze. Rohan unconsciously held his breath before her intense gaze broke and was replaced once again by that radiant smile of hers. Being the recipient of the smile caused and almost uncomfortable heat to creep into his cheeks, and Rohan was sure he was blushing.
Though the girl was already quite beautiful, but her smile made her even more stunning.
"Ah! You are THE Rohan Kishibe?!" Levy exclaimed happily.
"Yeah, that would me." Rohan replied while trying his hardest to compose himself.
"Oh my god! I can't believe I had the chance to meet you!" Levy gushed excitedly, "You just made your first debut manga a few days ago and already won 'Teens Choice Award'!"
"To be quite frank, it was no difficult task to get that award considering most of the other contestants were amateurs. Not that I wanted that stupid award anyways." Rohan replied honestly, feeling undeserving of such high praise. Especially from a girls as beautiful as Levy.
"Wow, that's...something. You are becoming really popular among the ladies. I didn't really get it at first, but now I see the reason. You are quite the looker." Levy said, her face cracking into a sly grin.
Rohan shifted his gaze uncomfortable with the situation, he had little to no experience when it came to flirting, or how to respond to such a beautiful girl.
"Anyways, I see you have a seal of Fairy Tail. I take it you are Fairy Tail member too." she changed the topic and pointed at Rohan's seal.
"Too? Wait a minute, does that mean? You are..."
To this, Rohan simply nodded in response.
"Geez! The mangaka Rohan Kishibe is actually a member of my guild and I didn't even know it!" said Levy little annoyed and happy at same time.
"Actually, I too didn't knew you were a member until now." replied Rohan calmly as he took his seat by the window, "I have never seen you in Fairy Tail since the day I joined it."
"Well, I was quite busy this week so I couldn't visit the guild. Anyways, you heading anywhere particular?" asked Levy.
"Clover Town. There is a meeting being held there which includes all the famous wizards and guild leaders. My editor wants to introduce me to all of them perhaps to gain more popularity." Rohan said while out the window. His tone of voice and facial expression indicating his uneasiness with the situation.
"Clover Town meeting? That's where I'm heading too. I was invited due to my literature knowledge. If you don't mind, can I tag along with you?" asked Levy sitting in front of him.
"Sure. There isn't much to do till we reach our destination anyways."
Rohan was actually glad that Levy decided to join him. Sure he prioritize manga among almost everything, but that didn't mean he was asexual or wasn't attracted to girls. And Levy seemed like a nice girl to have around. Well better than having Natsu or any other member around anyways.
CLOVER TOWN MANSION
"And this is Master Riakan of Simthern Guild" finished the editor.
Right now, Rohan was meeting all of the guild masters and famous people of Earthland along with his editor.
"A pleasure meeting you. It's nice to see young talents like you among the crowd." said middle aged master.
"No, the pleasure is mine." replied Rohan while forcing his best genuine smile.
That was obviously a lie. He didn't like the man. The complement was of course a lie too. In fact, he didn't like anyone present in the meeting. After a long series of introduction and meeting everyone individually Rohan finally managed to get a few moments for himself.
"Enjoying yourself?" smiled Levy approaching Rohan.
"Quite the opposite actually. I hate being here." Rohan replied honestly.
"You are quite a different than I imagined you to be"
"Oh how so?" Rohan eyebrows rose in surprise at her frank admission.
"Well, most of the manga artist might find this a perfect opportunity to gain popularity. But you despise being here. And you can be really blunt at times, which some consider bad for an artist's career" Levy replied with a nervous chuckle.
"I really don't care about popularity. I just want people to read my manga. I don't like twisting words. If I find someone annoying, I tell them to their face"
"Hah, I knew the meeting was of quite low standards. But inviting members of most pathetic guild, Fairy Tail? This is even more pathetic." came the sudden voice of a strange thin man with a mustache.
The man was wearing a flamboyant coat with a high collar that sported a jagged mantle and jagged lower edges, featuring two prominent wings similar to a bat's. It was the master of Phantom Guild, Jose Porla.
"Master Porla!" Levy seethed, clearly not happy with him insulting Fairy Tail.
"No need to get defensive. I'm not interested in small flies like you. I was hoping to meet that idiot, Makarov." Jose interjected with a smug face, "To be honest, I'm still surprised a pathetic guild like Fairy Tail can exist in this world. But then again it's Makarov's guild we are talking about here"
"I'm pretty sure Master isn't interested in one of the most hated guild masters. So please mind your business." Levy hissed, she was not going to tolerate someone insulting her guilt.
"Oh dear, I thought Fairy tail was lowest among all guilds, but it seems that standard also applies to their manners. How about I teach you a thing or two about manners, huh?" said Jose angered by her reply as he formed magic circles around his hand.
Levy readied herself for the fight but nervousness was evident on her face.
And why wouldn't it be? The guy she was facing, was one of the ten wizard saints. Seeing this Rohan decided to step in.
"Back down this instant before I do something you regret." warned Rohan in a serious tone,"I have been dealing with dumb shits all days and I'm certainty not in mood to deal one more! Do not make it worse."
"You insolent brats! You have any idea who you are talking to!" Joes yelled in anger.
Before things could escalate, their attentions were drawn by the panic and terrified noises of people nearby looking outside the window
"Woah, what is that?"
"It's huge!"
Rohan and Levy looked outside to see a huge three eyed demon just outside the meeting palace. Without wasting any time, Rohan and others head outside to see Natsu, Grey and a scarlet haired girl fighting the demon.
"Who is that girl?" Rohan asked his voice betraying his curiosity.
"That's Erza Scarlet. One of the strongest fairy tail members" replied Lucy excited to see her fighting.
From the looks of it, the demon recieved quite a beating. If Rohan's guess was right, the demon was just a strong hit away from being defeated. Without wasting any time, Rohan pulled out his book before hurriedly drawing the trio fighting the demon.
"Wait, are you drawing right now? AND where did you get that book?" asked Levy surprised.
"It's not really a common thing in my town to see people fighting a huge demon. I'm not going to get this opportunity slip." replied Rohan with a smirk, a rough sketch already taking form on the previously empty page.
The demon fired multiple magic blasts at the group but the entire team dodged them and closed the distance between them.
"Fire Dragon Roar!"
"Ice Lance!"
"Moon Flash!"
The combined attacks of the group finally defeated the demon much to everyone's relief and just as Rohan had predicted. But just as soon as their relief had came it was replaced by shock as the demon fell out of the sky and crashed into the Mansion reducing it to rubble.
"I'm really sorry, master, for the damage" Erza apologized hurriedly as soon as she meet Makarov.
"Well, at least the threat has been taken care of" Levy said smiling awkwardly trying to resolve the tension while looking at the damage.
"No. I don't think so" muttered Rohan as he looked at Jose who gave him a evil smile before walking away.
A FEW DAYS LATER.
Rohan had been quite busy for some time after that whole Clover Town incident. He heard that the demon was actually from the book of the infamous wizard, Zeref. He was very curious to read that book, despite the fear people had towards it. During his absence from the guild Rohan also found out that Erza was arrested by Magic Council. Though Erza was set free immediately despite Natsu going to save her and it was apparently just a big stunt to make people respect and fear the council.
How pathetic.
"Rohan, is this pose alright?" Mira suddenly asked snapping him out of his thoughts.
As of right now, Rohan was drawing Mirajane for his manga. He was really glad that the girl was extremely tolerant despite him not being able to capture the perfect pose in the past two hours.
"Hmm...hold the plate just above shoulder height. Stand a little closer to Elfman" replied Rohan, "And you, Elfman, straighten your back and smile like you actually mean it."
"Why did I even agreed for this stuff?" Elfman cried in an over dramatic fashion as he had been forced to stay in this position even before Mira came along. But much to his relief, it only took Rohan matter of seconds to complete the picture.
"Alright. It's done. You can go now Elfman." Rohan finally said, and Elfman immediately left in a hurry before Rohan might ask for something else.
"Let me see the picture." Mira said as she was walking towards Rohan, "Wow! Amazing! Your art is spot - on realistic."
"That's what I aim for. My art being as close to reality as possible. But quite frankly, most of the credit goes to you for making it even more realistic and beautiful. I'm glad you are my model" Rohan complimented her.
"R-really? T-thanks. I am glad I could be close to you...er...I mean give you art's reality." Mira replied nervously, blushing a deep crimson red.
Rohan had been serious when he had complimented Mira as he never liked and believed in empty flattery or compliments.
"Rohan! There you are!" Levy's voice suddenly rang out "What are you doing?"
"Just drawing Mirajane for my manga." replied Rohan.
"Ah so she is posing as your model? A good choice indeed." Levy nodded to the still blushing Mirajane.
"I forgot to ask you Levy but what kind of magic do you use? It seems really impressive." Rohan asked suddenly.
"I use the magic known as 'Solid Script'. In this magic, the words you write actually mimic the properties of the aspect they were based from. For example - if you write 'Water', the word will become water itself." informed Levy.
"Interesting. Is it possible for someone like me to learn and use it?" asked Rohan.
While Rohan wasn't interested in using his ability for fighting or battles but this Solid Script might allow him to overcome the one weakness of Heaven's Door. Not being able to affect objects and elements. Not to mention how versatile this ability actually was if one can use it creatively. One never knew when it might come in handy especially when in a place where almost anyone could easily overpower him with magic.
"Yeah. I think it's possible for you learn it. There are wizards who can use several types of magic. Learning two or more might not to be an impossible task. But you have to train for it." Levy answered after some contemplation.
"If it's alright with you, can you teach me to use this magic? " asked Rohan curiously.
"Sure thing. But I have to warn you this training won't be easy"
"You might not know me well enough. But know this, I, Rohan Kishibe, stop at nothing until I get what I want." replied Rohan with determination set in his eyes.
"Ah such determination. It really adds more charm to your personality." Levy said with a smirk.
Rohan awkwardly turned his gaze towards his drink still not used to her flattery. This made Levy laugh a little while Mirajane was feeling a little annoyed watching all of this. Her and Rohan had shared a nice moment before Levy had come to interrupt!
And since when did Levy and Rohan were so close?
"Those guys sure do get along well. If only my group could be like that." sighed Lucy sitting at a distance.
"Who is that guy? Never seen him here before." Erza asked sitting next to Lucy as she noticed Rohan with the girls.
"Oh, he is Rohan Kishibe. He joined the same day as before. You both must have missed each other since he doesn't spend too much time in the guild." Lucy answered without taking her eyes of the group.
"Well let's meet this new guy." Erza said as she started walking towards the group but suddenly stumbled as she started to get dizzy. Even Makarov was getting dizzy and yawned.
"Are you alright master?" asked Mirajane when she saw him with a bored expression on his face.
"It's nothing I'm just sleepy.. It's him" muttered Makarov.
The White Haired Barmaid didn't hear the last thing but then she started to feel sleepy and stumble. Erza and the rest of the guild were falling to the ground in a deep sleep. Even Natsu and Grey were affected, and eventually lost the fight, falling asleep. Rohan found himself getting sleepy but noticing how everyone was falling asleep despite it not being that late in the afternoon, he figured something was not right.
"Heaven's Door." muttered Rohan summoning his stand and rewrote himself.
'I won't fall asleep at all.'
Hearing footsteps, Roham turned around to see a man whose face was covered entirely, only his eyes were visible.
"Mystogan.." said Makarov looking at the Enigma.
Mystogan went to the request board to grab a job but was stopped as Rohan suddenly grabbed his hand. A look of surprise could be seen in his eyes when he saw Rohan unaffected by his sleep magic.
"Who exactly are you? The fact you were reaching for a job request, you are definitely a member of this guild. But why use magic on your guild members?" Rohan asked with suspicion.
"Hey, how come you're not affected by the sleeping magic?" asked Mystogan.
"Wrong answer."
Rohan was about to use Heaven's Door to extract information from him one way or the other but was interrupted.
"Mystogan is really timid so why don't you guys leave him alone" said a certain blonde haired wizard from the upper floor.
"Dogshit..." Rohan muttered.
Hearing this, a small laugh escaped from Mystogan's mouth , much to Laxus's annoyance.
"You have a pretty big mouth for a low rank wizard. You are talking to the strongest S class wizard. Have some respect." Laxus chastised.
"If they allowed someone like you in S-class, I'm pretty sure it must be a special case. I mean it's not everyday you see a dogshit among S-class wizards." Rohan replied with an icy voice.
"Damn you! That's enough!" yelled Laxus before he snapped his fingers.
At this, everyone was starting to wake up rubbing their eyes from their sleep, even Natsu who was normally was a heavy sleeper.
"That sensation.. Was that Mystogan?"
"That Bastard!"
"His Magic is really powerful"
"Mystogan?" Lucy asked cluelessly, feeling left out.
"He's one of the strongest members of Fairy Tail" replied Loke.
"For some reason he doesn't like people to see him- aaaaaaand surprisingly he is still present here." said Grey as he saw Mystogan standing next to Rohan.
Everyone was quite shocked to see Mystogan. It was the first time he was present among everyone while they were all awake.
"Why did you do that?" Mystogan asked Laxus not being used to people around him actually being awake.
"I want everyone, including you, to see what I do to idiots who try to overstep their boundaries" replied Laxus as he jumped down to ground floor facing Rohan.
"Laxus!"
"He's also here!"
"Laxus fight me!" Natsu suddenly shouted.
"I'm not interested in you. You are nowhere near Erza's level. Even if you can beat Erza or someone else, you stand no chance against me." Laxus said before again turning his attention towards Rohan.
"What's that supposed to mean!" asked Erza with a dark aura surrounding her making everyone feel scared.
"It means I'm the strongest!"
"I'll make you eat those word!" Natsu exclaimed while running towards Laxus.
Before he knew it Makarov managed to catch him with his Titan Magic crushing him down.
"There will be no fights happening today." Makarov warned in a serious tone.
"Too bad, old man, I'm already fighting this idiot." Laxus mocked while looking at Rohan.
With that said, Laxus threw a punch towards Rohan at lighting speed but the mangaka ducked easily avoiding it.
"Heaven's Door."
The next moment, Laxus was sent flying into a nearby pillar.
Everyone's mouth was hanging open as they observed the scene unfolding before them. They were barely able to follow Laxus's movements but Rohan's movements were invisible to them, even Makarov couldn't follow them.
"You know when I use my ability on people I usually knock them unconscious but not you. Wanna know why?" Rohan asked in a dangerously low voice as he slowly walked towards Laxus, "It's because I want you to mind your damn business and stop being a dogshit."
The lightning dragon slayer tried to stand upon his feet but immediately stumbled down. To him and non-stand users, he was looking perfectly fine but he was already turned into a book.
"Raging bolt." yelled Laxus in frustration.
Suddenly a thunderbolt fell from the sky on Rohan. Laxus smiled at this but was shocked to see Rohan still standing.
"I already have put a safety lock on you. You can't hurt me." Rohans voice was calm and leveled.
"Raging Bolt! Raging Bolt! Raging Bolt!"
Multiple bolt shoot from sky but much to everyone's shock, all of them missed Rohan. As if Laxus missed on purpose.
"Didn't you get it when I told you can't hurt me?" Rohan sounded bored.
'I cannot hurt Rohan Kishibe'
That was already written on Laxus' forehead.
"Don't get cocky! Lightning Dragon's Roar!" Laxus yelled in desperation shooting bolts of lightning from his mouth.
But just like his previous attacks, this one simply passed by Rohan's left arm.
"W-what? Impossible!" Laxus was shocked at this.
Even Mystogan was surprised at this, Laxus was undoubtedly one of the strongest S-class wizards yet this new guy was making him look like a amateur.
"Urgh! Lightning Dragon's Heavenward Halberd!"
Laxus formed spears of lightning in his hands and hurled them at Rohan again and again. And just like before, none of them could touch Rohan as he continue to walk towards Laxus.
"N-no...it can't be...how is this possible?" Laxus cried in desperation and with a look of despair on his face.
"You really have a thick brain, don't you? When I told you, you can't hurt me that means you can't do it no matter what." Rohan drawled almost lazily as he pushed Laxus lightly making him fall on the floor.
"Let's see how should I end this? How about making you never able to use that stupid mouth of yours?" Rohan mused out loud, "How about never able to use your magic ever again?"
"N-no! You c-can't do this to me! G-get away from me, you monster!" Laxus shouted in utter terror and fear trying to get away from him.
"What's the matter? Not the Mr. Tough Wizard anymore?" Rohan mocked coldly.
"G-get away from me!" Laxus seethed before turning into lightning and teleporting to upper floor.
"That's enough, Rohan! There is no need to go any further." Makarov voice interjected, trying to stop the one sided stomp.
"You should have been more strict on your grandson. You do know well enough it's your fault too that he is such an annoying prick." Rohan said before getting back to his drink.
Everyone was still in shock from what they just witnessed, even Erza and Mystogan couldn't believe their eyes.
"Hey... flame brain, did...he... just make Laxus run away like a bitch?" Gerry uttered in shock.
"I...i think so, Ice stipper."
"A-a... S-class wizard d-defeated a-and humiliated so easily..." Erza stuttered.
"This guy... what kind of magic is he using? I have never such dangerous and strong magic" Makarov wondered while trying to figure out Rohan's magic abilities.
"This guy is far more dangerous that he pretend to be. Rohan, huh? Better stay out his way." Mystogan threw over his shoulder as he walked out of the guild.
The next couple of hours were really awkward as no one dared to say anything. Much to Rohan's delight, he got some time to peacefully work on his manga.
THE NEXT MORNING
"Let's give it a try again." Levy said to Rohan who was standing with an unsure look on his face.
"This is a bad idea." Rohan said sounding defeated.
"You won't know that unless you try" Levy insisted.
Right now, there were standing by the docks. Levy, as she promised, was teaching Rohan how to use Script magic. Taking a few moments to prepare himself, Rohan brought out his pen before writing a word in mid air.
'PLANK'
The word suddenly popped out and fell into the ocean and started to float.
"Did it work?" Rohan asked with in surprise. Hope swelling in his chest.
"It did. But I'm not sure how strong your magic is. Only one way to find out." Levy replied looking at Rohan who simply nodded before he readied himself to jump
"Wait!"Levy shouted as she spotted someone at a distance, "Isn't that Lucy, Natsu and Happy over there?"
"And you stopped because of that?" Rohan asked not interested in the mentioned people.
"Something is not right. They all seems too alert and tensed." Lucy pointed out.
"Hmm. That is true. Let's see what they are up to." Rohan said as he changed direction and started to talk towards them.
On their way, they saw Grey caught up with the group. Thanks to Grey and Natsu's habit of fighting and arguing each other, they overheard them. The group was heading to an island for a S-class mission. Grey refused at first but was persuaded to join them.
"Alright, let's go before Erza or someone else finds us." Lucy said ready to get on the goat.
"You guys do realise that only S class wizards are allowed to do a S-class job, right?" asked Rohan as they caught up to the group startling them.
"W-w-what?! No, you guys are m-mistak-"
"Oh even Rohan is here! Cool! You guys should join us" interrupted Natsu," The award for this job is 7 million Jewels!"
"I'm really not interested in money at all." Rohan answered bluntly.
"I expected as much from you. But I'm sure you might be interested in the nature of job itself." Grey said as he handed the job request to Rohan.
Like Grey predicted, Rohan did find the job rather unique and interesting.
'Help Wanted in Galuna Island'
'Lift the curse of the island!'
'Goal: Destroy the Moon'
'7,000,000 Jewels and a Celestial Key'
"Destroying moon? This is rather interesting to see. What kind of curse is there?" muttered Rohan now really curious to see it himself.
This sounded like a perfect opportunity for him to get ideas for his work.
"Fine. I'll join you." Rohan finally said before looking at Levy, "What about you?"
"To be honest, I never accepted a S-class mission myself so I'm kinda curious." Levy mused "Yeah I'll join too."
"Alright! Let's go on our S-class mission" Natsu shouted all fired up.
Rohan knew master and the others wouldn't be happy hearing about this.
But whatever. Since when did he care about what other thought, especially when it came to his art and reality?
A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Since Wendy is very open minded and cheerful person, so considering Rohan's personality, he would really be awkward near her due to him rarely talk to girls and was little shy around around his first love in his oneshots.
Anyways, favourite, follow and don't forget to leave a review.
EuSaint Dracul1 out for now.
