"What just happened?"
"I feel as though I blacked out."
"I've never experienced anything like it."
Macao, nearly recovered, addressed Kyros, "Apologies for my earlier behavior. Care for a drink?"
Makarov intervened quietly, "There's no need. It's over."
"But didn't we just recover from Kyros' attack?" Macao persisted.
"What?!"
The revelation stunned the guild members. They had unwittingly succumbed to Kyros' power.
With a self-conscious shrug, Kyros confessed, "I apologize. My control is still lacking. I inadvertently affected everyone."
Eyes widened in disbelief.
"Remarkable..."
"Where did the guildmaster find this prodigy?"
"The guildmaster's discernment is unparalleled!"
Pride flickered in Makarov's eyes; the guild harbored a formidable talent indeed.
Kyros' encounter with Fairy Tail had been happenstance, a meeting on Sirius Island, the guild's hallowed grounds.
In that moment, a mechanical voice echoed in Kyros' mind.
[Ding! Automatic sign-in successful!]
[Sign-in location: Fairy Tail Guild]
[Received: 100 attribute points!]
Kyros' eyes gleamed with excitement. Who knew signing in could yield such rewards? This was another step towards becoming even stronger.
