The Boy Seeking the "Unknown"
"Damn it! Is it another lolicon monster?" Eleven muttered angrily under his breath.
"Huh? What did you say?" Maria didn't hear Eleven's mutterings and tilted her head to ask.
Eleven didn't know how to explain, so he quickly brushed it off. But he secretly made up his mind to find this werewolf and beat him up.
Maria found Eleven a bit strange, but didn't think much of it. Looking at Eleven said, "I've already issued a quest to the Fairy Tail guild through the church, but I hope you can also help investigate. Everyone at our orphanage trusts you."
"Okay! Leave it to me!" Eleven, emboldened by Maria's praise, patted his chest and promised, "I accept this mission on behalf of Fairy Tail! I guarantee I'll find that wretched werewolf and give him a good beating!"
Maria smiled and looked at Eleven without saying a word, letting him brag.
After accepting Maria's quest, Eleven rushed back to the guild. Although he boasted a lot, saying he accepted the quest on behalf of the guild, he still had to honestly go back to the guild and go through the proper quest acceptance procedure.
At this moment, Eleven was standing in front of Makarov, talking animatedly and passionately. When he got emotional, he suddenly punched himself in the chest with a thud to show his determination.
Makarov, who had been dozing off in front of him, was startled by the sound and finally perked up a bit. He smacked his lips, squinted his eyes, and thought about the task Eleven had mentioned, "Oh, the task you're talking about has already been accepted."
Eleven:(꒪Д꒪)ノ
"When were you picked up? Who picked you up? This is my mission!" Eleven stepped forward and excitedly shook Makarov's shoulders, making the old man feel like his head was about to fall off.
"Stop it, you little rascal!"
Bang!
Makarov's hand suddenly grew larger, and he slapped Eleven to the ground.
"He accepted the mission as soon as it was posted." Makarov took a sip of his drink, not even glancing at Eleven sprawled on the ground, but instead trying to recall, "As for the person who accepted the mission... well, if I remember correctly, it should be Mest, um, that should be him."
"Who is this?" Eleven had recovered by now and looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.
Has the old man finally gone mad? Who is he talking about? I've never heard of him before.
Makarov seemed to understand the meaning in Eleven's eyes, and cleared his throat to explain, "Mest only joined the guild recently. It's normal that you don't know him since you're always out and about."
As he spoke, Makarov looked past Eleven and waved towards the distance. "Mest, come here for a second."
Eleven quickly turned around to look. He was very curious about this newcomer whom he didn't recognize. It was surprising that there was someone in the guild he had never seen before. This person was not to be underestimated.
An ordinary-looking boy came into Eleven's view. He looked to be about the same age as Laxus and Brother Gou, around fifteen or sixteen years old.
The boy had a buzz cut, three scars on his left cheek, and an earring in his left ear. He looked somewhat roguish, but his eyes were honest and clear.
Eleven walked towards Mest, extending a hand and smiling warmly, "Hello, my name is Eleven Brain, welcome to the guild."
Although Mest was older, she seemed the more nervous one. She quickly grasped Eleven's hand and shook it vigorously. "Hello, hello, my name is Mest Glad, nice to meet you."
Eleven was pleased to see that Mest was an easy-going person, seemingly with a good temper. However, just as he was about to say something, he witnessed a scene that horrified him.
Mest's eyes suddenly became vacant, her lips unconsciously twitching as she muttered to herself, "I want to know, I want to know what's different about the legendary Great Demon King..."
Then, to Eleven's horrified gaze, Mest put Eleven's hand in her mouth and bit it...
Eleven:(キ`゚Д゚´)!!?
Bang! Boom!!
Eleven had never been bitten by a human before, and in his shock, he couldn't help but unleash his Telekinesis, slapping Mest away and leaving a twisted, human-shaped hole in the guild wall.
"Old man! This guy is a pervert, right? He's definitely a pervert! He's too dangerous!!" Eleven looked at Makarov in a panic, shouting as he frantically wiped his bitten finger on his body, fearing some kind of harm.
Makarov was also speechless. He knew Mest had some minor issues, but he didn't expect them to be this serious. How come his guild couldn't recruit any normal people?
Just then, Mest limped in from outside and was sent flying by a flustered attack from Eleven, crashing through the guild's wall. However, she didn't seem to be seriously injured, indicating that she was another genius that Makarov had somehow found, and her strength was not to be underestimated.
When Eleven saw Mest run back, he instinctively jumped back a step, raised his arms, and assumed a defensive stance.
Mest wasn't angry at Eleven's expression. She scratched her head and then felt embarrassed, bowing to Eleven in apology.
"I'm so sorry! I have a bad habit: whenever I want to know something, I become incredibly single-minded, and my mind can't hold anything else. Then, subconsciously, I start wanting to bite something, so..."
Eleven:...
What the hell is this? Are you a dog?
You think you can just bite me whenever you want? I'm not a teething toy!
After hearing Mest's explanation, Eleven became even more cautious. He understood that being bitten was not an accident, and that he could be bitten at any time if he didn't stay vigilant.
Eleven struck Ultraman pose, warily eyeing the man in front of him who seemed ready to bite him at any moment. Occasionally, he would shift his feet slightly to the left or right, looking as if facing a formidable enemy.
Mest stood there, somewhat bewildered, completely unable to keep up with Eleven's pace. She could only scratch her head and try to put on a simple yet polite smile.
Makarov rubbed his temples in frustration as he watched the two men facing off in front of him. He wanted to tell them to go somewhere else and not interfere with his drinking, but as a highly respected chairman, he obviously couldn't say such a thing.
Rumble~
A huge fist suddenly appeared and smashed Eleven, who was still jumping around and showing off, into the floor!
This problem-solving approach is far more suitable for Fairy Tail's guild master than verbal reprimands! It truly wins people over with virtue!
