Fairy Tail: I Can Hear Everything With My Unique Skill

33: Finaly leaving Town

Days passed by without any action or excitement, leaving Akira utterly bored. While he had managed to take on a few more quests, they were nothing more than mundane tasks. He had filled his days with "adventures" such as watching over a child, performing a magic show for another, and helping an old lady clean her store.

"Sigh, I'm bored," Akira muttered, slumping over the table with the expression of someone who had lost all sense of purpose.

Laxus, sitting next to him and engrossed in a book, paused and glanced over. "If you're that bored, then go take on a mission," he said, his tone neutral but slightly amused by Akira's dramatic display.

Surprisingly, Laxus had picked up the habit of reading in his spare time, likely influenced by a certain someone. Once infamous for his dislike of books, Laxus now delved into autobiographies of famous lightning wizards. Of course, his reading habits had their limits—he wouldn't touch anything over 100 pages. Some things, after all, didn't change completely.

" But the missions I can take are mostly missions that don't require any fighting. " Akira complained while still not moving from his position.

" But can't you just spar with just anyone if you are that desperate for a fight? " Laxus asked with a frown.

" Yeah, but I need someone to test all the new magic ideas I recently had. And some of these are too dangerous for me to use in the guild, " Akira said with a sigh. This is his biggest problem.

{ A/N: from now on I will address Makarov as Master instead of President }

Due to Makarov's ban, he still couldn't take any quests that required him to travel into a forest or any dangerous places where he could test his magic at will.

"Stupid master, " Akira muttered under his breath.

Laxus, who heard what his friend said, just sighed and went back to his reading. He didn't know how to comfort his friend.

After all, he couldn't really lift the ban his grandfather put on Akira. And even in the case where he managed to convince his grandfather, the ban still wouldn't be lifted. This is because the one who is actually in charge of this ban is Sera.

Yes, it was Sera who had the actual authority to lift Akira's ban. As Akira's legal guardian, she had the final say in where Akira could travel.

So unless Akira is willing to rebel, he has to listen to what Sera has to say.

" Say why don't I accompany you? I'm sure Sera would be okay with it. After all, with me here, no one can harm you. " A third voice sounded as Akira and Laxus both turned to see Gildarts looking at them with a smile.

" You sure? " Akira asked with a raised eyebrow. Why did Gildarts become this friendly? This lazy uncle is someone who wouldn't bother to go to work on his vacation.

This sudden change made Akira very suspicious. Even Laxus, who went back to reading, paused just to look at Gildarts with shock.

" Yeah I'm kind of bored and wanted to stretch my hands a bit, " Gildarts said with a smile that fooled no one.

In other words, this guy was so frustrated by the fights he fought with Akira and Laxus that he wanted to vent on some poor soul.

Reading his thoughts, Akira confirmed his suspicion. This uncle is just wanting to go out to have fun and maybe flex a little.

Just as he was about to refuse Gildarts, Akira suddenly stopped. After thinking about this, his expression brightened up.

" Okay uncle, I will ask Master and get his permission, " Akira said as he dashed towards the bar where Master Makarov was drinking his beer peacefully.
