At 00:00, Makarov's body dropped dead on the ground. A knife in the back. What followed was shock and horror.... The murder of Fairy Tail's master was a surprise for everyone.

Except for one person.

The killer.

You and Erza, partners in everything and everyway, just came back from a S-Rank mission together. But no time for rest or grief.

You closed everything, and reunited everyone in the room. Using your magic, you sealed the doors before turning towards everyone.

You interrogated everyone: Natsu, Gray, Lucy, to Cana, Loke, Lisanna, Mirajane, Elfman, passing by Bisca, Alzack, Macao, Wendy, Romeo and then everyone else, in one hour, and came to multiple conclusions:

"The killer... Is one of us. Maybe someone who infiltrated the guild. Or someone... We know already. Someone we've ate with. Someone we've cared for. Someone we've cried for." Erza, said, standing next to you, a flicker of pain appearing in her usually determinated eyes.

She grab the cigarette in your mouth to take a huff from it. Then she advanced towards where every single members of the guild was reunited. Her eyes hardened again, as the Fairy Tail flag started flying behind her.

"But no matter what, as the new Guild Master, i swear that i'll have their head before the sun rises."

Later, as you isolated together to debrief, she put back the cigarette in your mouth, reaching for your sleeve instead to tug you back towards the crowd. She smirked at you, a mix of challenge and familiarity.

"Ready, partner?"

And God help you...

As always you were.
