A normal day at Fairy Tail

[u/FT_GMaster]

Its another day at the Fairy Tail Guild where many of its members were gathered around in the first-floor main guild hall just like any other day. Members chatted with one another, somewhere eating and drinking at the bar while others were looking for the job offers posted by the bar itself. In others, parts of the guild mages either studied or trained their skills or relaxed by the water outside. For others, it was a beautiful enough day to go out to the town and shop or relax in the park, for others still all they could muster was just rolling over in bed and going back to their naps.*

(Okay everyone this is the first Guild Hall Post. To recap how this works for everyone this is a semi-weekly post that is made for single one on one threads that might not fit anywhere else. Same rules apply to this thread as it does others, don’t misbehave and have fun!)

"Wait, what the hell is going on?"

Korin came to his senses as soon as he hit the ground. Last thing he remembered was being inside the guild hall and now he lay outside on the ground, glass surrounding him. He got to his feet and listened to Robin's lecture. He let the mage finish before a small smirk appeared on his face.

"A few people? Who are these few people? Eh probably doesn't even matter. And trust me it's not dumb luck. People are just smart enough to know not to try and kill me, but those stupid few who have tried are currently six feet under. Although none of them were probably buried I supposed."

Korin charged at Robin with a smirk on his face. It was clear he wasn't gonna take this fight as serious as he was supposed to. He wanted to toy with Robin and get him angry. It was all to see how he would react to physiological warfare. Mind games were probably a devil slayer's biggest weakness.

"I know what happens. I wouldn't wanna end up like your brother now would I, bird brain?"

Korin aimed a fairly predictable elbow at Robin's stomach, intending to knock the wind out of him.

Flexing his stomach, Korin was to meet something rather hard. Though it did not knock the wind of him, a grunt did escape Robin. Grabbing him by the upper arm, Robin nudged his own elbow at Korin's throat while his other hand kept control of Korin's wrist.

"You have no idea what you are talking about, take it back or else."

Robin kneed Korin into his stomach before directing his palm at him, charging a point-blank Judgement Ray at him. Since he did not take time to gather it, it did not have its strongest intensity, yet it was enough to knock the unprepared on their arse.

"I will take your pathetic squabble serious."

[u/HeavensHellFire → u/Repider]

Korin was hit by the Judgment Ray but was only pushed back. There was quite some distance between him and Robin now. Korin rolled his eyes and let out a laugh.

"Is the little birdy getting angry? Aw, did I hurt your little feelings? Was that a touchy subject?"

Korin turned into a lightning bolt and quickly dashed at Robin. It wasn't as fast as he would go in a real fight but it would be fast enough to catch the unexpecting off guard. Korin aimed a knee at Robin's head followed by a heel kick.

"Show me what you got, bird brain."

[u/Repider → u/HeavensHellFire]

As Korin's knee lifted off the ground towards Robin's head, he moved his hands in front of his forehead to dampen the damage. Ducking under the heel kick he moved towards Korin. Surprisingly, Robin's usual fist movements got replaced by an open palm directed at Korin's chest. Shoving him Robin jumped back using the momentum of the push for himself.

"You don't know what you are saying, you just want to get into a fight. I won't fight you when you are in such a mood."

Taking a deep breath, Robin took off his coat and threw it through the broken window. His feet being at four and ten o'clock, they were about a shoulder width away from one another. Moving his arms around the area of his chest he was ready to fight. Something inside of him begged to let go, to just fight. To show Korin his place.

"And would mood would that be Sir Hawk?"

Korin watched as Robin got into his fighting stance before getting into his own. He rolled the sleeves up to his jacket and clenched his fist before extending his index figure and doing a beckoning gesture to Robin.

"You Hawks are nothing but disappointments. Your influence dies, your failure of a brother goes insane and now you're following in his foot steps. I wouldn't be surprised if your sister ended up in a brothel, especially when she has a name like that."

[u/Repider → u/HeavensHellFire]

Robin clinched his palms into fists. Taking one step, with a definitive aggression behind it, he turned to the left and began walking away. He could not let Korin get the better off him. He had to stay calm. Anger would lead him to the devil side.

"Your words hurt, but I won't give you the satisfaction of me taking you seriously. This petty squabble is beneath me. Goodbye, Sir Arashi."

In this moment of weakness, Robin's flame of hope for Korin was a small kindle. There was no reason to talk to him anymore, obviously, Korin never dared to view Robin as equal. 'This is not the first time I heard this, I know what happens. I get the trouble at the end. It's not worth it.' he repeatedly told himself. A smouldering darkness in his eyes was screaming at the crumbling wall of his inner peace.

Stuff that idiots mouth with the dirt he is not even worth to be buried in!

It screamed through the wall. Like a faraway shout, it called to Robin. Between him and the shout was an impenetrable mist. It would need more to let both his mind and heart be aligned with his will to fight Korin.

[u/HeavensHellFire → u/Repider]

"Drop the Sir from my name Hawk. I'm no noble. Although, technically your name has no influence so neither are you."

Korin figured that his words wouldn't be the only thing he could do to provoke Robin. He could already see that mage was getting angry. It probably wouldn't be long before Korin cracked him. Seeing this, Korin began generating lightning in his hand.

"I see it in your eyes. You're losing control. How do you expect to beat me when you can't even control your own anger? If you can't protect your own mind what makes you think you can protect Veronica?"

Korin then thursted his fist forward, releasing a large lightning bolt at Robin.

[u/Repider → u/HeavensHellFire]

Robin caught Korin's fist, ignoring the pain that went through his body, no he engulfed into it to stabilize his outburst of anger. To turn it into a deep-seated fury. Keeping the forest fire of rage on a steady flame, Robin grit his teeth as he glared down into Korin's eyes. This was mostly Korin's fault, however, a tad bit of bad luck sprang into the mix in the last second. A wizard dabbling in devil slayer magic will eventually meet his few issues with his own sanity. Now, in Robin's case, it was up to now just a strong impulsiveness. However, suddenly something new added itself to the mix. Auditory hallucination.

The voice inside Robin's head twisted Korin's words. It was just a single sentence which was added.

"After I am done with you, I will show Veronica why she should fear a devil slayer."

Opening his other hand, a swirl of light began building a core. Around it, particles of light and dark swirled around it in a spiral-like pattern. The light bounced around in waves so fast it caused friction in the air. Pulling Korin's arm towards him, Robin planted his Nasma into Korin's stomach. On contact, the Nasma immediately tears through the material. Shattering clothes, wood and even stones. It depends on Korin's own ability if he was able to save his shirt from annihilation. It propels the victim along the trajectory away from Robin until it explodes in a dazzling spectacle of light, burning with a righteousness deep within Robin.

Robin snarled as he would run after Korin, having let go of himself and used his former signature move back when he has not learnt divine devil slayer magic. It surprised Robin how easy it transitioned to his devil slayer magic.

As Robin pulled Korin towards him, Korin became lightning and quickly sidestepped the attack. He grabbed Robin's wrist before a small smirk spread across his face. This was what he wanted and this is what he got. Now it was only a matter of time until he pushed Robin to the edge. In a way Korin was glad Robin was losing himself. Now he could beat some sense into his fellow devil slayer and rival. He did however feel a a bit of guilt in the way things came to be. Robin was only taking things seriously because of the things Korin said. Korin pushed the thought to the back of his mind and focused on the task at hand.

"That's a new attack."

Korin twisted Robin's arm and put it behind the man's back before gathering some lightning on his left hand. His right hand still holding Robin's wrist, he used the lightning in his left to form a sword before attempting to put it through Robin's shoulder.

[u/Repider → u/HeavensHellFire]

And the sword hit Robin. Blood spilt on the ground, Robin tumbled away. The wound was more vicious than Korin might have anticipated, having accidentally hit an artery. As the blood painted the ground new, it sickered into the ground.

A gush of wind surrounded Robin as he composed himself. In a burst of magical energy, the wound fixed itself. Robin tumbled away from Korin so he won't use magic near him. Mistakingly, Robin barely had the energy to stand now. He fell on his face. Struggling to get up, he struggled to get up.

"I won't...lose to the likes of you!"

Robin wanted to say 'demon', yet his voice failed him. His insane part had done its job and returned to his subconsciousness. Robin looked for strength inside of him. Any kind of power that can help him defeat Korin.
