Chapter 3: A Strange Corrupt Evolution
Moss turned her head and gave Mirajane a look.
Mirajane nodded. After being saved and reassured by Moss, she had already come to trust her deeply and believed in her decisions. She then pulled back her cloak, revealing her demonic arm.
The Fairy Tail members reacted in various ways upon seeing this.
"Whoa, is that Take Over magic?"
"She's so young, yet she can already use Take Over!"
"And it seems like she absorbed a demon's power!"
"That's incredible!"
Unlike ordinary magic, Take Over magic required subduing the soul of the creature being absorbed. This demanded an incredibly strong will, as failing to control the power could lead to a loss of self.
And since this was demonic power, the requirements were even stricter.
In other words, for Mirajane to control demonic power, it meant she was exceptionally talented, with a future full of possibilities!
From the second floor, Makarov, the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, saw this and his eyes lit up with excitement.
"I must recruit this girl into the guild!"
Join Fairy Tail!
Makarov leaped from the second floor, landing firmly on the ground despite his small stature.
"Guild Master."
Macao greeted him.
"Guild Master?!"
Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman were all stunned.
This tiny old man, with a childlike height, wearing a silly jester hat, and looking completely harmless, was actually the Guild Master of Fairy Tail?!
"That's right! I am the master of this guild—Makarov! If you want to fix your arm, it's simple…"
Makarov spread his arms wide and grinned.
"Join Fairy Tail!"
"..."
The unexpected proposal left Mirajane and her siblings momentarily speechless.
"Take Over magic allows you to absorb the power of creatures. You've taken in a demon's power, but since you're not yet skilled, your arm remains in that demonic form. If you want to learn to control it—then join our guild!"
Makarov explained, playfully winking at them.
"I'll find someone to teach you how to master Take Over. You'll have your normal arm back in no time!"
"This…"
Mirajane hesitated.
Seeing her uncertainty, Makarov turned to Lisanna and Elfman, smiling warmly.
"You two can join Fairy Tail too!"
Finally, he looked at Moss.
His gaze focused on Moss's mask, which covered the upper half of her face.
"Did you injure your eyes?"
"No."
Moss shook her head.
"Then… is there another reason?"
Makarov asked curiously.
Moss simply shook her head again.
"If it's not an injury, then can I see?"
Makarov requested.
"I don't mind."
Without hesitation, Moss raised her hand and removed her mask.
Mirajane, Lisanna, and Elfman immediately rushed forward, excited—
Even they had never seen Moss's true face before!
The guild members all leaned in eagerly.
As Moss pushed her mask up onto her head, her brilliant sapphire-blue eyes were revealed.
Her sharp gaze, combined with her exquisite features, gave her an aura of strength and beauty.
"She's gorgeous!"
The guild members gasped in admiration.
Makarov smiled.
"You have beautiful eyes. Why do you hide them?"
Moss put her mask back on and chuckled.
"Looks like you don't understand at all."
"Huh?"
Makarov was momentarily confused.
"It's about the appeal of mystery," Moss explained.
"Half-hidden beauty creates a sense of the unknown. And mystery makes a woman more alluring."
"..."
Makarov let out an awkward laugh.
"This kid really has a unique way of thinking… Looks like things are about to get more interesting around here."
Then, he asked:
"So, would you like to join Fairy Tail?"
Having observed countless people in his life, Makarov had a sharp eye for character.
He was sure that Mirajane and her siblings were good kids.
And after seeing Moss's eyes, he trusted her as well—
So, he extended the invitation to her too.
Moss nodded.
"I'll join. I want to learn magic."
Seeing this, Mirajane also nodded.
"Alright, I'll join too."
Lisanna and Elfman followed suit.
"Us too!"
"Hoo-haha—!"
Makarov let out a hearty laugh, then turned and raised one hand toward the ceiling.
"Children! Today, our family grows!"
He looked back at the newcomers, signaling them to introduce themselves.
One by one, they stepped forward.
"Moss."
"Mirajane."
"Lisanna."
"Elfman."
Makarov smiled, satisfied.
"With that settled—I declare a celebration!"
"Ohhh—!"
The guild erupted into cheers!
Makarov grinned.
"Moss, Mirajane, Lisanna, Elfman—welcome to Fairy Tail!"
A Place to Belong
"Where do you want your guild mark? You can also choose any color."
Makarov held up the Fairy Tail stamp.
Moss thought for a moment, then lifted both hands—
And grabbed her chest.
"!"
Makarov's eyes widened, gasping in shock.
"She's going to put it there?! That's bold…!"
But then, Moss let go and casually said:
"Left arm. Make it white."
"..."
Makarov sighed.
"So it's just a normal spot…"
Then, he finally noticed something.
"Hmm? Your wings… is that also from Take Over magic?"
At first, he thought they were just accessories—
But after a closer look, he realized they were real.
He assumed it was a Take Over magic malfunction.
Moss shook her head.
"No, it's just how my body is."
She flapped her wings slightly.
"I'm an angel."
"..."
Makarov froze.
Moments later, a white Fairy Tail emblem appeared on Moss's left arm.
She was officially a Fairy Tail wizard—
Even though… she still didn't know magic yet.
Makarov put away the stamp and asked:
"Do you have a place to stay? The guild provides dorms if you need one."
Moss had zero money—so, of course, she immediately accepted the dorm offer.
The dorms were right behind the guild, offering decent accommodations, including private bathrooms and even free toiletries.
A Sudden Change
That night—
Relaxing in her new dorm room, Moss entered the bath.
Letting the hot water surround her, she closed her eyes.
"I wonder if I can learn magic in this world."
Fairy Tail had all sorts of magic—elemental, spatial, spiritual…
Could she, as Angewomon, learn this world's magic?
"I'll start with the basics tomorrow and see."
Lost in thought, Moss absentmindedly raised her leg, admiring her own flawless skin.
"Damn, this body is gorgeous."
But then—
[Evolution Path: Corrupt Evolution]
"…Huh?"
Moss froze.
And then—
She saw the options.
50% chance of evolving into Garbagemon.30% chance of evolving into Numemon.10% chance of evolving into Zombieman Satan Mode.10% chance of evolving into Myotismon.
"…What the hell?!"
