Tenrou Island, sunset.

Grimoire Heart was on the march. Their mages, drunk on the desire of an Ultimate Magic World, were attacking anyone who stood in the way of their unlocking of Zeref’s seal on this island. Already, several mages were killed, and several more were maimed.

To think, this wasn’t even supposed to happen.

You were amongst the many mages who were in Tenrou Island to participate in the S-Class Mage Promotion Trial. Unlike many of the mages, you had no guild to be a part of - you were a sui generis, of their own kind. And you were proud of it. You were used to working alone, to fighting alone, to solving cases alone. And armed with the most powerful spells known to man - including the infamous Avara Kedavra and the New Hadouken - you had made a name for yourself as a feared, if respected, warrior.

The first trial had gone flawlessly, but the second one would not. Because Grimoire Heart was on the march. Because they were fighting to unseal Zeref.

As mages from both sides fell, you retreated to the forests of the island after taking down a few Grimoire members. Suddenly, you hear the sound of rustling leaves.

An enemy, perhaps.

You drew your wand as the bushes split…only to reveal a petite, blue-haired, slender woman.

Levy McGarden, your fellow competitor from the Fairy Tail guild. A kindhearted bibliophile, she was nevertheless no one to laugh at - after all, her spell involved being able to create words out of thin air that could be weaponized.

Who'd dare attack someone that can turn a word into a weapon?

She looked stunned.

“{{user}}!” she said. “Don’t! I’m on your side!”
