Chapter 12: The First Mission
"Elusa, are you ready? This is our first mission, and we must succeed. Virgil said to Elusa. "Don't worry, brother, I'll be fine. Besides, isn't it just to defeat a gang of bandits, what's the big deal? Elusa muttered nonchalantly. "Boom!" Virgil slashed Elusa on the head with a knife in his hand, "I've only been a magician for a few days, and I don't know how thick the sky is, and in a few days, you won't have to slay dragons!" Virgil taught.
This is exactly the two Virgil and Elusa who went on the mission. I couldn't always rely on the president's help, so I decided to go out and do a mission a week later. However, since the two were still novices, the president only asked them to do the lowest tasks. Virgil picked and chose for a long time, and finally found a good task, 'Exterminate the Bandits' 150,000J, and the pay was not bad.
During this time in the Demon Tail, Virgil has become familiar with the people in the guild, and has also met some of the more famous people, such as Wa Kaba, Macao, Ridasu and other more famous people, as well as Makarov's grandson, Laxus, but now his body is still very weak, and he has not directly entered the magic crystal of the Dragon Slayer Magister. Makarov's sons, Laxus's father, Ivan Redja (his guessed name) and Kirdas, were also not seen.
During the week at Demon Tail, Virgil and Elusa experienced a different kind of happiness, and they also fell in love with the guild, and gradually forgot the pain that Gerald brought her.

It's a pretty prosperous place, but the fortifications in front of the town let people know that something bad is going on here. Two children came to town that day.
"Those in front of you stand still and don't move forward. Identify yourself, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the town. A head poked out of the fortifications and shouted.
"We are the Magus of Fairy Tail, tasked with exterminating the bandits. One of the boys replied.
"Show your badges!"
The next two men rolled up the sleeve of their left arm, revealing the badge of the fairy tail.
"No problem, let them in. The man said. "I'm really sorry, but in order to prevent the bandits from getting in, I have to be a little more vigilant. The man explained.
"Nothing, take us to the task agent! That answered. "Well, okay. What's your name?"
"Virgil, this is my sister Elusa, Elusa Scarlet. The boy replied.
"Hello, welcome, mighty magicians. Please help us deal with these bandits!" Mayor Mare said excitedly to Virgil.
"Of course that's fine, that's what we're here for. Virgil replied, "Tell me about these bandits." How many people there were, what weapons they had, whether there were magicians. ”
"There are about two hundred of them, and they should have a dozen magic guns, but fortunately there are not many of them, so we can't hold them for so long. Of course they don't have magicians, otherwise our town would have been breached. The mayor replied.
"Then why don't you ask the government for help, and instead hire a magician?" interjected Elusa. Virgil glared at Elusa, but didn't say a word, obviously wondering about the question.
"It's not that we didn't ask the government for help, the government also sent an army to exterminate this gang of bandits, but as soon as this gang of bandits saw the army dispatched, they ran away, and the army can't be stationed for a long time, so they don't care about us in the long run, let us find a way to solve it ourselves. I had no choice but to hire a magician. The mayor replied with a wry smile.
"I see, but don't worry, since we're here, leave it to us!" said Virgil confidently.
"Alright then, I'll leave it all to you. The mayor replied with a reluctant smile.
"Brother, what are we going to do, are we waiting here for the bandits to appear? Elusa complained to Virgil.
"No way, if we don't cut them down, our mission will not be completed, and if we don't kill them all at once, then they will be on guard, and it will be very troublesome for us to destroy them again. Virgil explained. "From tomorrow we will be ambushing outside the town, and we will kill them when they attack. Virgil said to Elusa.
The next day, Virgil took Elusa and walked out of town. And the people in the town didn't have any objection when they saw the two of them going out, after all, they came to exterminate the bandits, and there was no need to help defend the town.

Five days later.
"Boss, we must be able to take down that town this time! You dare to call the army to call us! I really don't think I can do anything, and I don't want to see who the boss is. A little brother patted his ass.
"Of course, little ones, give me a good contribution this time, and take down this town, and I will allow you to rob for three hours, and do whatever you like!" shouted the bandit leader.
"The boss is wise, the boss is mighty, and the battle is invincible......" the younger brothers shouted.
Gradually, this group of bandits leaned into this town. "Charge me, little ones!" Money and women are calling you!" As the boss shouted, the minions rushed towards the town with a howl as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. But before he could get close to the town, he was stopped by dozens of bows and arrows. "Gunslinger, Gunslinger, give me all those bastards!" Seeing that the attack was blocked, the boss commanded his gunners to attack. When the bandit with the magic gun fired, the town immediately fired far fewer bows and arrows. Then the bandits immediately crept forward towards the town.

"No, Mayor, the brothers' bows and arrows can't resist those magic guns, what about the two magicians! Why can't they run away if they don't see them?" a young man complained to the mayor.
"How do I know! Tell those guys to stand up!" shouted the mayor.
As he spoke, one of the bandits had approached the fortifications, and surged over the low wall, and appeared before an archer, who slashed at the panicked archer with a hideous face.
Suddenly, the thief's body shook, and then a knife tip appeared in his chest. As the bandit fell, both the mayor and the young man saw the owner of the knife that suddenly appeared behind the bandit.
It was Virgil who came into the scene at this critical juncture.

"Elusa, the bandits are coming. We're going to get to work!Have you ever killed anyone?" Virgil hadn't killed anyone either, but he questioned Elusa anyway. "It's okay brother, in the Tower of Paradise, I have killed a lot of guards. Perhaps it was the mention of the Tower of Paradise and the thought of those companions, and Elusa's mood suddenly became very bad.
"Alright then, you outflank them first, and when they retreat, you will kill them for a while, but don't kill them, we're going to raid their hometown!" Virgil told Elusa. "Well, I'll go first. With that, Virgil vanished. "I envy my brother's teleportation!" Elusa felt both honor and envy as she watched Virgil suddenly appear a hundred meters away and kill a bandit.
Looking at Virgil who suddenly appeared and killed his subordinates, the bandit boss was a little puzzled by how he came out, but he still reacted and knew that it might be a magician, and he ordered, "Gunner, aim at that person for me, kill him!" The bandit boss thought that no matter how strong he was, he couldn't stop such a strong firepower.
If Virgil had known what he was thinking, he might have told him that he wasn't all human, but unfortunately Virgil didn't learn to read minds.
Faced with dozens of bullets fired at him, Virgil didn't care at all. He wanted to block it with a magic shield, and suddenly thought of how Virgil blocked bullets in the game, and he suddenly wanted to try. Just watch him hold the knife in one hand, and quickly spin it counterclockwise. I saw those bullets hit the wall of his knife. After a burst of sparks, Virgil stood there intact. The tip of the knife drooped, and a dozen warheads appeared on the ground. "Give it back to you!" With Virgil's swing of the knife, bullets flew out, knocking down several bandits in an instant. Then, like a tiger entering a flock, Virgil struck the bandits.
In a short time, the group of bandits was defeated and fled backwards. But what they didn't expect was that there was a killing god behind them, controlling more than a dozen big swords waiting for them. In the end, only a dozen of the bandits, including the leader, escaped back, and this was the result of Elusa's deliberate release of water.
When these bandits are glad to have escaped their lives, they are ready to take revenge later. Virgil and Elusa had led the people of the town, following the trails left by the bandits, to their lair.
Virgil's first mission with Elusa. Successfully completed and did not cause any damage.
