Bad-tempered

Seeing the happy Mira and her two companions before him, Eleven felt genuinely pleased.

"They're so lucky to have met me! I'm such a helpful little angel!" Eleven praised himself with a look of satisfaction.

However, at that moment, a hand landed on the smug Eleven's shoulder, and without turning around, it was clear that it was Erza had just regained her freedom.

"Eleven! Come and duel me!" Erza glared at Eleven, her anger blazing. Erza, with her fiercely proud nature, couldn't tolerate Eleven ignoring her like that; she felt she had to get her revenge.

Eleven didn't really want to play with Erza right now; he was exhausted after traveling for so many days. However, Erza didn't even bother to ask for his opinion and had already prepared for battle on her own.

"Requip - Armor of Divine Thought!"

A pure white, dress-like cloth armor appeared on Erza's body, with a silver headdress on her forehead and a rapier in her hand.

"This is armor that can withstand mental attacks, Eleven, take this!"

After briefly explaining the effects of her equipment, Erza, ignoring Eleven's reaction, charged forward with her sword in hand.

"Sigh~ I'm really tired." Eleven looked at Erza helplessly and sighed.

This girl usually tells her guildmates to get along well, but when she gets carried away, she doesn't care about anything else and can't even wait for the time to go outside the guild to duel.

Bang!

Erza hadn't even taken two steps when a silent Telekinetic Hammer slammed down, knocking her to the ground with a single blow, causing the floor to tremble three times.

However, such an attack was clearly ineffective against Erza, and she was about to struggle to her feet in the next moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang...

Under Eleven's indifferent gaze, the Telekinesis hammer slammed down relentlessly time and again, raising clouds of dust. The other members of the guild hurriedly dodged, completely helpless against these mischievous brats.

When the dust settled, deep craters appeared in front of Eleven, the guild floor completely smashed through. Erza had already fainted inside one of the craters and was no longer able to cause trouble.

Eleven peeked into the pit and checked Erza's condition, then yawned with satisfaction. It was great to have gotten rid of this annoying girl so quickly!

Erza has been with the guild for almost a year now, and during that time she has challenged Eleven countless times! In fact, she has challenged Laxus even more times than Eleven to harass Laxus, much to Eleven's annoyance.

Moreover, although this girl isn't very strong, she's different from Gray; she's not afraid at all! On the contrary, she becomes more courageous and stronger with each battle, and she always comes up with new tactics, forcing Eleven to fight her seriously, otherwise he might very well be defeated unexpectedly.

What's most terrifying is that this girl doesn't understand the concept of stopping short of defeat; she won't stop until she's completely defeated.

Eleven had tried to shift the blame to Erza, hoping she would go play with Laxus and leave him alone. However, the stubborn Erza felt that Eleven's magic was more mysterious and harder to deal with, and refused to change targets.

This remark nearly infuriated Laxus, who was watching the spectacle from the sidelines. However, he couldn't bring himself to challenge Erza, so for a while, Laxus childishly provoked Erza every day, wanting her to challenge him.

"Ugh! You little bastards are ruining the guild again!"

Makarov's furious roar finally broke the silence. Those little bastards were too fast; he'd been so busy talking to Mira that he hadn't had a chance to stop them.

Seeing the horrified looks on Mira and the other two's faces, Makarov felt ashamed. These brats, they started fighting at the drop of a hat! What if they scared away these promising young talents?

"Um... sir, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"

Seeing the president's ashen face, Eleven knew something was wrong and ran away. As for Erza, who was still in the pit, he didn't need to worry about her at all. The girl's physical fitness was amazing; she would be able to get up on her own as if nothing had happened in a while.

A month passed quickly after that.

In the past month, Mira has fully mastered her Take Over Magic — the Satan Soul —and has finally restored her arm to its human form.

To keep up with their sister, Lisanna and Elfman also learned to Take Over Magic. Lisanna learned to Take Over Magic the Animal Soul, while Elfman learned to Take Over Magic the Beast Soul. However, for some reason, Elfman could only Take Over the souls of beasts in one arm, which made him very disappointed.

As for the difference between Animal Soul and Beast Soul, based on Eleven's observations, he thinks Animal Soul might be more cute, while Beast Soul might be more wild.

Perhaps Elfman couldn't fully Take Over it because his timid personality was simply not suited to this wild style of magic. However, he was quite stubborn in this regard, refusing to learn the same cute style as his sister, which was such a waste.

"Mira, why are you dressed like that?!"

The day after Mira recovered and took off her cloak, Eleven heard Cana's exclamation as he approached the guild.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Mira with one foot on a stool and the other on a table. She was wearing a cropped tank top, hot pants, and high boots, all in black, and was grinning mischievously at Cana and Gray below.

"Hehehe, this is the real me! Now that I've decided to stay in Fairy Tail, this is my territory. From now on, you all have to listen to me! Understand?" Mira arrogantly raised her chin and announced loudly.

"Huh? What kind of attitude is this towards your Uncle Gray?" Gray's short temper wouldn't allow Mira, a newcomer, to be so arrogant, so he immediately retorted.

Although Gray had always held the lowest position in the guild and couldn't beat anyone, that didn't mean Gray had lost his confidence. Apart from a few prodigies in the guild, he didn't respect anyone! He looked down on the newcomers like Mira, especially Elfman's timid and submissive manner, which Gray found extremely disdainful.

However, as a gust of black wind blew by, Gray immediately regretted it.

A surge of dark purple magic enveloped Mira's entire body, and in the blink of an eye, her appearance completely changed. Her arms reverted to their previous demonic form, a pair of purple ram's horns sprouted from her head, and her clothes transformed into a black, tight-fitting suit of scales. This demonic appearance, combined with her delicate features, created a bizarre visual impact.

After Mira transformed, her expression became even more terrifying; she even burst into maniacal laughter and charged directly at the arrogant Gray.

Facing Mira, Take Over the Satan Soul and transformed into Demon, Gray didn't even have a chance to fight back. At this moment, he truly began to doubt his existence. Was he really that weak? It felt like anyone could just randomly pop up and easily defeat him!

Eleven glanced at Gray, who was lying on the bed with his butt sticking up, felt sorry for him for three seconds, and then ignored him. Gray was always getting abused, so there was nothing to worry about.

On the contrary, Mira's condition worried Eleven somewhat. Was Mira always like this?

Walking quickly to Mira, who had returned to normal, Eleven took Mira right hand and carefully sensed it. He could no longer detect the evil aura emanating from Mira; all the demonic energy had been perfectly absorbed.

Sensing that the magic was working without issue, Eleven secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up into Mira's aquamarine eyes, Eleven began to subtly probe Mira's consciousness with his Spiritual Power.

Being stared at like that by Eleven made Mira a little shy, and for a moment she even forgot that she was playing the role of a delinquent. She struggled frantically to pull her hand away, her face flushed red.

"Mira, no one in the guild will hurt you! You don't need to pretend like this!"

Eleven looked at Mira with a strange expression. This girl was actually trying to play the role of a fierce person to protect herself and her brothers and sisters from being bullied in the guild.

What were they thinking?

Eleven, being such a simpleton, couldn't possibly understand Mira's self-protective mindset. He had only encountered kind people since coming into this world, so he didn't know how to persuade Mira, who had experienced hardship, to comfort herself and be herself again.

Mira was taken aback by Eleven's words, but her face turned even redder the next second, and she stammered, "I, I wasn't pretending! This... this is just how I usually am! Hahaha... hahaha..."

Before Mira could finish her stammering words, she was grabbed by a red figure that charged at her.

Erza suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Mira's shoulders and shook her violently while shouting.

"Mirajane! Are you alright? Mirajane! Damn it, what happened to you? Did something go wrong with the magic? Don't worry, the president will definitely heal you!"

Mira had barely escaped Erza's clutches and was somewhat grateful to Erza for getting her out of that awkward situation, but she still feigned indifference and said, "I'm not done yet, don't worry about me."

Erza, however, persisted, saying with a serious expression, "Don't give up! There must be another way!"

"Um... I'm really fine!" Mira looked at Erza with some confusion.

"No, impossible! You must have been influenced by a demon! How could a normal person dress like this!" Erza said seriously.

Mira:(`д′)

"Huh? Who are you calling abnormal? You rigid woman in armor?"

Erza: (艸皿艸)

"Huh? What did you say? You shameless exhibitionist?"

I don't know how they recognized each other with their eyes, but suddenly the two very pretty girls were face to face, their expressions contorted with rage, gripping each other's hands tightly and cursing at each other.

Mira ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ: "You hard, smelly woman!"

Erza (ﾟДﾟ*): "You stinky woman with your belly button showing!"

Mira (╬◣д◢): "Cold, stinky woman!"

Erza (▼ヘ▼#): "You skinny, smelly woman!"

Eleven, pushed to the side, now stood with Cana and Gray. All three were bewildered by what had just happened. They had been so affectionate just a moment ago, how could things have turned out like this in the blink of an eye?

Mira ヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ:"Fat pig!"

Erza (ノ`Д)ノ:"Skinny monkey!"

"Idiot!"

"Fool!"

Watching the increasingly low-level verbal sparring match unfold before him, Eleven suddenly found women terrifying! He couldn't even imagine himself exchanging insults with others like this; he felt utterly outmatched!

To prevent the situation from escalating, Eleven had to step in and stop Mira and Erza. The others were completely unreliable, all happily watching the spectacle.

"Hey, you two, that's enough!" Eleven stepped between the two, supporting one of them with each hand, trying to separate them.

Mira ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ: "Eleven, don't interrupt!"

Erza (`皿´): "Get out of the way! Eleven!"

To everyone's surprise, Eleven's actions directly ignited the anger of the two men, who simultaneously turned their pent-up rage towards Eleven. Almost at the same time, both fists slammed towards Eleven's face.

Eleven:Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Bang!!

When Eleven straightened his head, he had two large dark circles under his eyes – he'd been punched!

"Oh? Are you two tired of living?"
