Chapter 25 - Chapter 25

Haruto had returned to the Guild with Erza and Natsu, but that was before he had gave them a good beating for doing something so stupid. Entertaining as it may have been, it still pissed him off that Happy called his prized bloodline 'pretty pink eyes.' His blessed eyes were not pretty! His pride had been hurt that day so Natsu felt the wrath of calling his blessed eyes 'pretty pink eyes.' The Guild celebrated after their return and Haruto went straight to Wendy as he had assured her that everything was and their 'grandfather' had taken care of everything. And with that it now led him and Wendy in Makarov's office.

"So Haruto-kun, Wendy-chan you never spoke of family." Makarov said as he looked at the two with a pleasant look on his face, "The magic council will be demanding answers about your magic and family."

"Master, I do not believe they will be causing much trouble for me and Wendy no longer will it happen." Haruto replied with a smirk forming on his face. The two siblings shared a look as Wendy smiled as well, "After all, old man was able to handle the magic council before I think he can do it again."

"If I may, who is your grandfather really?" Makarov asked with curiosity in his voice as he looked at the duo with a curious gaze. It was something that interested him to no end, a man able to put the magic council in their place and do it without fear. That was enough to make him ask about him.

"You may know him Master, after all he is pretty famous." Haruto said as the smirk on his face grew and Wendy just kept smiling at the extremely short Master before them.

"What is his name?" Makarov asked once more.

"Oh, Grandpa's full name is Warrod. Warrod Sequen." Wendy said cheerfully with the smile still plastered on her face.

Makarov eyed the two before him with wide eyes as the information was digested. The two new Guild members were related to Warrod Sequen, one of the founding members of the Guild. The founders of the Guild either passed on or were no longer in contact with the Guild, but the most well known was Warrod Sequen, known for his amazing plant magic and becoming a member of the Ten Wizard Saints and also a member of the Four Gods of Ishgar. Even if his grandchildren were adopted, they would still be very powerful in their own right just being adopted by Warrod-sama himself.

"W-Warrod-sama is y-your grandfather?" Makarov asked stuttering as he spoke with a shocked expression still present on his face. It would have been amazing if he was able to hold in his surprise. The amount of self control it would take would have been simply too much for one person to possess. Haruto was rather amused by the shocked expression that Makarov carried, Wendy shared his amusement as she giggled slightly.

"Yes Master." Haruto simply replied with his face full of indifference, but his eyes were filled with amusement as he continued to stare at the utterly shocked Guild Master.

"Why didn't you tell me!" Makarov nearly shouted in frustration as he noticed the two siblings were enjoying his reaction.

"You never asked." Haruto replied cheekily, giving him one of his brother's dense responses. Those simple words had simply done it. Makarov had face faulted when he had heard those words, picking himself off of the ground, the elderly man gave the two a glare and mumbled something under his breath. "Okay brats, you can leave now."

The two left after they said their goodbyes and left the elderly Guild Master to ponder on the newly revealed information by himself. Makarov turned to the picture that sat on the edge of his desk, the picture was taken a few years ago when Laxus did not hate him. It showed him standing next to a young and happy Laxus while they were waiting for the beginning of the parade. Sighing to himself, Makarov looked at the stacks of paper that had been placed on his desk waiting for him to complete. As he began the tedious task, he could not help but feel his years catching up to him. He had been the Third Guild Master of Fairy Tail for quite a while now, and it maybe the time for him to step down and name the Fourth Master. There were some worthy candidates in the Guild, the first person that came to mind was Gildarts. But the Ace of Fairy Tail did not like to stay put and often traveled a lot and asking him to stop his habit and take command of a Guild would be nearly impossible. Then there was Laxus, his very own grandson. Common belief among the Guild members, Laxus would be the one to succeed him and become the next Guild Master. Makarov had no intentions to allow his grandson to become the Guild Master unless he had lost the belief of the strong only allowed in the Guild. It was foolish and went against everything that the founders of the Guild stood for, the Guild was family. Then there was the last option, Haruto. Though the mysterious redhead had only been in the Guild for a few years, he was still one of their strongest. But then again the fact that the redhead was so mysterious the elderly Guild Master did not feel comfortable enough to hand the boy the title of Guild Master. He cared for the boy truly, but the mystery around him would not do well being the leader of the Guild.

Sighing once more, Makarov went to complete his paperwork. Looking at it, he signed his name and placed it in the finished stack before pulling another from the massive stack of paper that was on the other side. It had been so long and the paperwork seemed endless. After a good hour, Makarov turned to the uncompleted stack of paperwork and his heart nearly stopped, the stack had seemed to grow larger than before. Maybe I should give one of the brats my job. Makarov thought as he began working on the paperwork once more, it would be a very long day today.
