The Bizarre Quest

After briefly calming Mira down, Eleven hurriedly left the guild with the quest sheet.

Strangely enough, Eleven would never have interfered in other people's missions so casually before; he had never forgotten Makarov's teachings.

But this time, he felt inexplicably uneasy. Every time he thought about Mira going to do this Beast King quest, Eleven felt panicked and couldn't leave it alone.

Therefore, in order not to keep the impatient Mira waiting too long, Eleven also sped up his own mission.

This mission is simple in name only; it's an investigation mission, but it's an S-Class investigation mission.

This mission was sent from another guild. It was originally just a C-Class mission, which was to investigate the unnatural withering of trees in the forest. However, six mages have already gone there, including the last one who was S-Class Mage from the Giant's Nose Guild, but none of them have come back alive.

Even more bizarrely, when their bodies were discovered, the area around them was deathly silent. Large swaths of plants had withered and died, even small animals had lost their vitality, and not a single living insect could be found.

However, there was absolutely no sign of fighting around them; everything was intact, and not even any magical fluctuations could be detected.

It felt as if these dead mages had all died suddenly without any resistance. It was as if there really was a Grim Reaper in the shadows, wielding a scythe, who slashed across the face and silently reaped their lives.

Due to the many strange aspects of this mission, its danger level skyrocketed, rising from C-Class to High-Star S-Class, and it was given a terrifying name—'The Death's Call '!

Despite the terrifying nature of the mission, there were still quite a few mages willing to risk their lives. Soon, some began analyzing the corpses of the defeated, concluding that since the bodies were so intact, the attack must not have been magical, but rather a force distinct from magic, perhaps... related to Spiritual Power?

In short, after much back and forth, the task eventually fell to the famous Telekinesis master, Mr. Eleven.

After all, Eleven is a well-known figure, and it's no secret that he can use Spiritual Power magic. In addition, he is a top-tier S-Class Mage from Fairy Tail, so everyone has high expectations for him.

Makarov initially wanted to refuse such a dangerous mission, but the other mage guilds offered him too much, and after being flattered by several old men and women at the dinner table, he became a little carried away and accepted the mission for Eleven with a wave of his hand.

Eleven didn't have much of a problem with this. The old man would easily get carried away whenever someone praised his guild's kids. He was just like a spoiled parent who wanted to show off his bratty kids, and everyone was used to it.

Moreover, this mission wasn't beyond the scope of the mission. Although it seemed quite dangerous, compared to some rare Ten-Year Quest, it was actually quite ordinary.

On the contrary, the way the previous waves of sacrificial mages died aroused Eleven's great curiosity. Even though Makarov hadn't assigned him this task, he still wanted to see what kind of monsters could do such a thing.

Perhaps this is the nature of mages; curiosity can kill not only the cat, but also a whole bunch of mages with mental problems.

The mission takes place in a large primeval forest in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Fiore. It is a no-man's land, but there are defensive lines set up by soldiers outside the forest to prevent monsters from leaving the forest and invading the town.

No one stopped Eleven from entering the forest; in fact, the soldiers even gave him a positioning magic stone. It wasn't for any other purpose than to make it easier for everyone to collect his body if Eleven were to die in the forest later.

Eleven felt this thing was extremely unlucky, as if it was already hoping he would die before the mission even started. He was a little disgusted, but he still obediently accepted it.

Traveling through the forest was already commonplace for Eleven, and he didn't even get his clothes dirty. He projected his Spiritual Power outwards, probing every rustle and movement around him, and followed the clues left by previous explorers, running deeper into the forest.

On the way, Eleven finally saw the places where the mages had met their end. It was indeed as desolate as the mission information had described. Even after so many days, there was no sign of any animal activity; at most, some ignorant little insects had wandered in.

The trail of death moved deeper into the forest, Eleven followed these trails, moving further and further away from areas of human activity, as if this 'Grim Reaper' was also trying to avoid contact with humans.

Finally, Eleven arrived at a small lake, hiding himself in the shadows of the trees, his muscles tense, his Spiritual Power slowly gathering, and cautiously peering into the lake.

On that calm lake, there was a naked man taking a bath!

Eleven had been staring intently at the exhibitionist for quite some time.

Of course, he wasn't peeping; he had no interest in watching men shower.

However, isn't it a bit too strange to see someone bathing naked in this remote primeval forest? Doesn't he worry about being bitten to death by mosquitoes and leeches?

Something was definitely amiss. Eleven realized he might have found his target: the legendary 'Grim Reaper' was taking a bath right now!

The man in the lake had short, jet-black hair and dark eyes as deep and unfocused as black holes. He stared blankly at the lake, seemingly lost in thought or simply daydreaming.

Eleven slowly extended his Spiritual Power, and just as he was trying to subtly probe the man's abilities, the previously dazed man seemed to suddenly sense something and abruptly looked in his direction.

The Spiritual Power that had always been invincible and imperceptible to everyone had been discovered today.

Eleven's heart skipped a beat. He thought he would be attacked in the next second, but to his surprise, the man suddenly jumped out of the water like a startled rabbit, quickly put on his clothes, and ran away.

"Um... wait a minute, I meant no harm!"

Eleven's mind went blank for half a second. He couldn't quite figure out the man's thought process, and too lazy to hide any longer, he shouted and jumped out from behind the tree, giving chase.

"Ah! Don't come any closer!"

The dark-haired man became even more nervous when he saw Eleven chasing after him. He shouted at Eleven as he ran, as if Eleven were some heinous scoundrel.

"Um... I didn't mean to peep at you while you were showering, you've misunderstood..." Eleven explained loudly.
