 Commentary on Chapter 17. Returning to the guild.

 Enjoy your reading!

Here it was, the most boring month of Eros' life had passed and standing in front of the tree that was Pollyushka's home, he breathed in the fresh air.

"A month..."- thought the old woman with surprise, "You really aren't human, such a speed of recovery..."

- Thank you aunty, once again," Eros said embarrassedly.

- The best thanks would be if you don't show up here again..." said Pollyushka with a hum.

- Roger! - jokingly saluting, the titan replied, "You be careful too.

- Don't worry about me, I can defend myself.

- Are you sure?

- You little brat, get out of here!

- Okay, Auntie, goodbye!

- How many times do I have to tell you, don't call me auntie... - said Polushka with a sigh, with a slight smile on her lips.

A couple of hours later, he had already passed the gates of the city and was standing in front of the doors to the guild.

"I'm back!"- Eros thought with a smile as he opened the door.

- HAPPY RECOVERY! - shouted the members of the guild in chorus, to the explosion of firecrackers, causing Eros to freeze in the passage from shock.

- Come in, you're stuck in the doorway," Makarov grinned, satisfied with the reaction.

The titan nodded sluggishly, taking a step forward and at the same second he was dragged in by several pairs of hands.

- Didn't expect that, huh? - Gildarts asked.

- Is this how you always get greeted after you've recovered? - Eros asked with a nervous smile, looking at the cheering crowd.

- No, but you helped the guild a lot.

- Helped?

- Yes," Makarov nodded, "We didn't know about the monsters that escaped from the Dark Forest and the fact that you were able to destroy one of them and let us know about it, you helped save the guild's face.

- Basically, these relocations only started half a month ago, and before that, they were living in the other half of the Dark Forest. But as you realise, the territory became smaller and the monsters needed a home, so the stronger creatures destroyed the weaker ones and drove them out of the territory, and they had no choice but to look for a new one, and their choice fell on the nearest forest.

- As long as there were no casualties, that's good," Eros said with a smile.

- Well, have fun, kid," said Gildarts with a grin, "Some of the kids were worried about you, and one old man besides us.

As soon as the two men left, Eros felt something squeeze his leg. When he looked down he saw a pair of brown eyes filled with tears, the next moment he was hugged from behind by a pair of small arms.

- Eros, welcome back," Rick said cheerfully, and Rani ruffled the thick hair on the titan's head.

- 'I'm glad you're okay.

- I'm glad to see you too, Rick, Lily, Kana, Rani... And I'm sorry for making you worry," Eros said embarrassed, "But I can't promise that it won't happen again.

- We already know that, the main thing is to come back alive.

- No problem... Lily, Kana, stop crying, I'm alive, all my limbs are still there..." he looked at himself thoughtfully, "Yes, they are.

- Idiot! Why didn't you run away?! - Lily asked, sniffling and squeezing his neck tighter.

- You'd strangle me!

- I'm sorry.

- If I'd run away, my friend would have died.

-...

- But in the future, I promise that I will become so strong that this will not happen again, never, - said Eros in a firm voice.

- Don't take it all on yourself alone," Roni said with a slight smile, "It's the duty of the older to protect the younger, so you can always rely on us.

-... Thank you.

By late afternoon the celebration was over and everyone began to leave the guild, only a few people remained, mostly those who were so drunk they couldn't move. Eros spent the rest of the evening with his friends, chatting and catching up on the news of the month. And the best part was that Rika and Rani had been trained by A-rank mage Makao, he is also a fire mage and what intrigued Eros more was that they had both officially become B-rank mages. This rank was awarded to them by Makarov. Of course, the master of another guild doesn't have the right to do that, but he can help by submitting an application to the council and this application will be considered first. Lily also became a C-rank mage, although she should have been awarded B-rank due to her healing skills, but the council rejected her application due to her lack of combat abilities.

- Hey, teacher, can I come in?

- Come in.

- It's business as usual, you should at least clean up," Eros said with a sigh, a grey magic circle lit up on his hand, and the dust and dirt began to disappear under the shocked gaze of the older mage.

- What kind of magic is this?

- Household magic, any mage can learn it, even the weakest.

- I'll have to learn this spell sometime," Gildarts said thoughtfully, "It's a handy thing.

- That's a fact," Eros nodded, "But you didn't call me here for that, did you?

The mage's face became more serious.

- Yes, it's about the magic you used in the forest to defeat that monster.

'Just as I thought, traces of the magic were left in the air,' Eros thought regretfully.

- 'After studying it, I have come to the conclusion that it is very dangerous, because of its instability and destructive power, if anyone finds out about such magic, they will want to destroy you immediately.

-...

- So tell me, can you control it?

-...Not completely.

- Is it possible that it could get out of control?

-...I don't know," Eros lowered his gaze and whispered, "It doesn't show itself in any way.

- Can you be sure that she won't harm your friends?

After these words, the titan froze, he just didn't know what to say, because he didn't know the answer to this question... In the next moment, Eros felt fear turning into terror, what if she would get out of control when he was in the guild or when Kana and Lily hugged him....

Seeing how quickly the colour of the boy's face was changing, Gildarts felt a twinge of guilt, but this conversation had to start sometime...

- I don't know..." the next moment, his voice became firm, "But I swear that I will never let this power get out of control and hurt anyone!

- That's all I wanted you to say, and if you do, I'll take your oath, but if you break it, I'll stop you myself.

- Yes!" he shook the older mage's outstretched hand.

After that, Gildarts' face smoothed slightly, and even appeared something like a smile.

- And one more thing, use this magic only as a last resort, when you have no other choice.

- I understand," Eros nodded with a serious face, "How did you know about this magic? - The titan already knew the answer, but he wanted to be sure.

- According to the remnants of the magic, after it has been used, its particles will hang in the air for about another day, and it will be easy to determine what kind of magic it is. But you don't have to worry, I erased it all," he continued with a guilty look on his face, "But I guess not completely, the council must have discovered something, because now there are patrols of the Knights of the Moon every day.

- What exactly are they looking for?

- The Master had asked the council before, but they gave him a rather vague answer that they were looking for a dangerous man.

- Any chance they're really looking for some escaped mage taking refuge in the city?

Gildarts nodded.

- That option, too, cannot be dismissed.

- If that's the case, I won't use magic for the next few months," Eros said with a slight smile, "I haven't finished the first stage of training, have I?

After hearing that, the senior mage laughed out loud.

- Well, if that's the case, then we'll continue tomorrow to improve your fitness. That's all for today, I'll wait for you tomorrow morning and don't be late.

- Yes Master, see you tomorrow then

- Go now.

Leaving Gildarts, Eros headed towards home. Over the past two months, the titan had found a way to earn money by hunting monsters in the forest and selling their carcasses at the market. With that money, he had rented himself a separate place to live, on the outskirts of Magnolia.

***

The next day he continued his training under the supervision of Gildarts, and first of all he visited Makak, the Forest Vulcan, who lived in the forest. It wasn't until he reached the cave that Vulcan immediately sensed him and came out of the cave. When Eros saw him, he was very surprised, because he had grown at least half a metre and the most surprising thing was that he had become stronger. As usual, the titan was not able to dodge and block, and because of that, he left the Eastern Forest with a black eye. Still, Eros was happy for his friend and now he was more confident about his safety.

After finishing his training and arriving at his abode, the library of the Fairy Tail, he was shocked to see at least about five new faces there and they were all children. What shocked him even more was that he was the reason they had decided to get smart. It turned out that they all considered Eros a true hero and role model, because he had managed to defeat an A-rang monster at such a young age, which meant that he was at least an A-rang mage.

Eros of course tried to explain that he had defeated him only due to luck, but they wouldn't listen to him, and only looked at him with stars in their eyes. So he had no choice but to forget about it and sit down at the table. As usual, he took out a couple of boards and, leafing through the books, the titan studied new runes, trying to advance in this and reach the level of Master. And only after reaching it, Eros, will be able to draw the rune of Absorption, which will allow him to speed up the absorption of ether from the air.

After all, his rate of recovery of Magical Power is already monstrous, but if he can at least five times faster, then he will simply have an infinite supply of magic and then the titan will be able to not stop releasing spells.

But Eros himself realises that this is only a dream, and to reach the level of a master in this case, it is not an easy job and at least he will need two more years of non-stop practice and improvement. But this is impossible at the moment, so he expects to reach this level in the next five years, and at least the next ten in artefacting.

The week before he met that monster, he had begun to study artifacting as well. After he started hunting and earning some money, Eros immediately bought raw materials and started making the simplest artefacts possible. It took him a whole week and a tonne of resources to make a ring that could create a 1cm by 1cm fireball. It was only after that that he realised why many people call this profession a "black hole". After all, to create one simple artefact, it took him a whole week, as well as all the savings from the hunt, which is almost twenty thousand precious.

And he was able to sell this ring only for a thousand jewels to a mage from the guild, who liked to smoke. And even then, only after he had placed the rune of "Strength". Therefore, Eros decided to suspend development in this area again, until better times.
