Shanks Pov
I laid down on my bed. Today was a rather hectic day. I had finally arrived home...to Fairy Tail. To my sister.
And I learned a lot of things. One of the more important things was that Ivan had left the Guild.
I was a bit surprised since Ivan never appeared on Fairy Tail...at least up to the point I had watched. I had only watched till like the middle of S-class promotion exam arc.
I am pretty sure it is not called that, but I was just a casual watcher and right now honestly, I don't even remember half the shit that happens in the Anime.
I regretted not completing the show and from what I had learned from the Giant's Teaching and that mission, this world was very dangerous.
Well, no need to fret now. It's not like I can do anything beside regret my decision and it's not like I had nothing to do, I had to train to go to U.F.C but anyways one thing was for sure -
I had to grow stronger. The level of strength I am now on is not even remotely enough. I had large battles to fight and bigger battles to protect. I can't let myself laze around.
I have already died once in my previous life and have come close to dying in this life as well. If Rock had not sacrificed -
"Stop Shanks." I controlled my thoughts. Regrets should be used as motivation not to delve deep into. I cannot let the regret destroy me.
I touched my scars.
"I will get my revenge oneday. But till the fated day arrives. I have to train and grow much stronger."
Though I do hope my System will start giving me more missions frequently. It had been more than a year since I had gotten any mission and I am in need of newer skills to work on.
My eyes moved to the clock. '10:00 P.M'
'Already? Damn.'
I grabbed my bag – the magic item and brought out a big gourd. Big for a human that is and popped open the bottle. I grabbed a glass that was on the table beside my bed and poured the red liquid in the glass and filled it halfway through.
I brought out another gourd and poured the other liquid filling the glass completely.
I drank the glass of the 'Bloo Vanka'. It was the drink that the Giant especially made for me, and it is said to awaken the blood of a Giant that drank it consistently. So, that's why the Giant gave it to me although they did make it especially for me, I was the only one drinking this.
Did I have some kind of cool bloodline or something? ...haha I wish.
I quickly arranged all the things and placed them in their respective place.
KNOCK!KNOCK!
"Come in!" I shouted to Cana. ‚Observation Haki was really useful in situation like this.
Cana opened the door, I could see her sleepy face. She held a teddy bear on her arms.
"Big bro. I am hungry" Cana muttered softly.
Growl
Her stomach growled as she finished saying it.
"Aw. Cana."
"Alright. What do you want to eat?" I got up from the bed and stretched my arms.
"I don't know. Just something tasty." Cana said and I nodded.
"Sure." I replied with a wink "Your brother will cook something delicious. "
"Hehe~!"
Cana smiled.

Next Morning
Guild
I sat down at the bar, chatting with Makarov. Cana had gone to do her rehearsals.
"So, brat. What did you really do during the one year? You have improved a lot. In physical capabilities and in Magic Power as well." Makarov asked taking a gulp from the glass of beer he had.
Seeing him, I also took a gulp. Magnolia's beer was the best!
"I was training Gramps." I said with a light tone taking another gulp.
"Yeah, and how did you get the scar?" He asked me and I grinned.
"Well, it's a story for another time."
"You sure have gotten cheeky, but scars are fine and all but don't come here losing an arm or something."
Damn- Is this old man raising a flag or something?
"I won't Gramps. Don't worry about it." I said to the old man, he was refilling his glass from the barrel. I gave him my glass as well and he refilled it.
"Also thank you Gramps for taking care of Cana. I know I already said it, but I can't thank you enough for what you have done You sure you don't want the money?" I poured out my heart to Makarov and in return he slapped me in my head.
"Shut up. How many times do I have to say same things again and again. I don't want the money, and it was used from Guild Funds anyways and just enjoy the atmosphere. It's not every day we get to have such peace in our guild," Makarov replied and I smiled.
'He sure is a kind old man'
"Well. I do have one request from you, Shanks." Makarov said with a sad voice and him just saying my name I realized that it was serious.
"Sure. Master. Just tell me what's up." Since he was serious. I had to be serious as well. It was the least I could do.
"Take care of Laxus, will ya? He is a good kid but ever since Ivan left, he has become more and more uncontrollable."
I remembered an arc that had Laxus as the main villain though I think he did become a good guy again and personally, I know he has a good heart.
"Don't worry Gramps. I will beat the ‚uncontrollable part' out of him." I said while flexing my respectable muscles.
Makarov grinned. "I will count on that."
"Sure. Let's do a drinking competition- Oh, no wait before that I got a business proposal for you – Let's start selling our beers in a can and distribute it around Fiore!"
Magnolia had the best beer. It was a fact accepted all over Fiore by everyone and Fairy Tail owned the rights to that very beer – The so-called 'Fairy's Tears' and in this world or Fiore to be precise they did not have canned bears.
"Nice idea!" Makarov grinned "But let's have a drinking game"
Yeah. Business could wait.
"Sure, old man" I replied with my own smile.
