Five Little Sacrifices

Chapter 56

Well, since I have nothing else to do right now it seems like I'll be posting two chapter for this week as well ^^

-----------------------------------

Few more days went past, them doing what they could and Freed could tell that Laxus was starting to get seriously annoyed because he didn't have anything to do. It had been years already since Laxus had became the master of Fairy Tail, so no wonder that after such a long time when he was suddenly" out of job" he found it difficult to adjust. Before becoming a master he would have been just fine doing nothing, maybe occasionally go to a bar and stuff like that.

The idea of having a small school at the guild quickly rose more interest between the guild members and many volunteered to work as teachers. They all had their own areas of interests and would be happy to teach the kids more about them and soon Freed noticed they had teachers more than enough.

"What about this?" he said as they were sitting down with Levy – Gajeel and Laxus loitering around and keeping an eye on the situation just in case – and Lucy, Erza, Juvia, Mirajane and Wendy. Surprisingly Natsu, Gray and Bickslow were interested about this too.

Freed pulled up a sheet of paper, showing a timetable they had wrote together with Levy.

" Only a few hours a day", he said." They are still young and the most important part is that they can have fun and learn new things while having fun."

" That looks complicated", Natsu murmured looking at the timetable.

" Your brain is complicated, that's why there's nothing but chaos happening there", Gray smirked and Natsu glared at him.

"Don't start", Freed snapped immediately with a frown, cutting the whole fight off before it would start. "This is important to Felix, Vellanja and Chester so focus. At some point they want to team up and start doing missions and we want them to be able to take care of themselves then."

"Of course they won't start with anything huge at first, only something small they can do here at Magnolia", Levy smiled. "But even then it's really important to know what to do."

She sighed when imagining it.

"Time sure flies fast, soon they will head out and they might even stay days away on their own missions", she said and Freed nodded crossing his arms.

"It's going to be a wonderful day for them when they can finally officially start their journeys as mages", he smiled.

"They're going to come by only short whiles and then they will be gone again..."

"They probably don't want to rely on us in everything that much..."

"It seems like you guys need to focus right now", Bickslow snickered.

"As I was saying", Freed said clearing his throat with slight blush because he got distracted so easily. "This is a rough plan of a timetable right now and we can always adjust it, depending if someone has to leave for a mission or because of some other reason the lessons can't be held."

"We also have to listen to what Vellanja, Felix and Chester might want to do", Levy said. "We can't force them to do these if they don't want to."

"What's the point of having a schedule in that case?" Erza asked. "They want to learn, right? They have to learn as well that it's important to follow schedules. They have to accomplish missions in time."

"Erza, they're just little kids..." Mirajane said slightly amused. Erza was always so strict. Knowing Freed and how strict he could be as well, she was surprised how he was this willing to be so flexible with the timetable.
