Mirajane had told Mavis about this half-demon boy named Naoki Kashima who wanted to join the guild. Truth be told, Mavis had never been prejudiced against dark magic. The fact that she was dating a black wizard was proof enough of that. Still, she was curious about their new recruit.

After a productive day at her office as Guardian of Fayren, she was back to Fairy Haven. She could relax now. She sat near the bar, in the guild hall, holding a mug of hot cocoa and letting its warmth spread through her body.

Upon hearing the door open, she turned around and offered the new arrival a bright smile. "Hi! You must be Naoki. I'm Mavis."

Least they weren't freaking out about this. Seemed good...unless they dealt with something worse? Hard to tell with different worlds, but that was his best guess. Mirajaine did say she could possess demons so that was a large possibility. Then again, there was that Snow Queen business he heard about from her too. Couldn't have been good at all...

Realizing she was asking questions, he snapped out of it, going back to answering them.

"A man named Hikawa, who manipulated two different cults, gathered something the Amala Drum. Through a ritual, he was able to bring on the Conception, which in turn caused the end of the world. The goal in that world was that whoever rose to the top of the tower and defeated the Kagutsuchi could shape the world into something else. Kinda like getting a wish in a way."

He shook his head at the next question. "If any mages did survive, they were reduced to just angry souls. Very few were active, and couldn't even do much. The only one who I could consider a mage was Hikawa, since he knew about all of this stuff while I'm still struggling to figure out the details of everything."

He prayed calculus was easier to understand. Probably not. Then again, he may not have had to worry about college. The magatama though...He put a hand under his chin, trying to recall the info passed down to him.

"From what I can tell, it's just the essence of a demon that bonds with a normal human. Other demons had them, but they just wanted money, so it's pretty useless to them. Not sure if it works on other half-demons though. Maybe? I mean I am able to switch which Magatama I carry. Each one does imbue me with different spells to master, along with resistances and weaknesses." A pause. "Um, that answer works, right? Not sure what else I can say about them."

Well, when he wondered if the reason why Mavis and Zeref didn't look shocked about what he was saying, was because they'd seen or experienced worse, he wasn't far from the truth. There was their Curse and there was also the immortal, magic eating dragon Acnologia to name only the main two. Maybe he would hear about those, if he decided to become a member of the guild. For those were topics that Mavis and Zeref rarely discussed with people they'd just met.

Mavis looked a bit saddened at hearing Naoki say that mages were reduced to angry souls... It reminded her too much of Precht. Part of her still wished she could have helped him. But it felt ironic, considering her death and the discovery of Fairy Heart had sent Precht on the initiatory trip from which he came back as Hades.

So, instead, she decided to live the past behind and focus on the present, as she often did ever since she arrived in Genessia. She listened to Naoki as he explained how Magatama worked and mentioned that there were Magatama of different natures. He could switch Magatama in order to change the nature of the spells he could use? That sounded like a very powerful ability.

"Is it painful for you to switch Magatama?" She asked. "Also, can you give some example of spells you can use? I would love a demonstration as... assuming it's not too destructive, of course."

He shook his head. "Thankfully no. But it does take a bit so I can't constantly do it in the middle of a fight."

He thought a bit more on the spells. There were a few, but they wouldn't go well here. Would likely break a few things. Hard to use healing magic without some help too and--

Ah the summonings. Yes he could show off a few of his friends. He stood up from the stool, turning away from the duo of Fairy Tail.

"Let me summon a few of my friends. Pixie! Cu Chulainn! Cerberus!"

Three bursts of black lightning suddenly burst and faded in the span of a few seconds. In their place, three entities emerged. The first was a small being about as big as Naoki's head, the form being female and having beautiful wings from its back, constantly fluttering to keep her in the air. She only wore a blue leotard, and didn't seem that strong. But looks could be deceiving. If Mavis could sense magical energy, she would find this little demon had far more energy than the other two demons.

The next was humanoid. We're it not for the pale skin, one could mistake him for a human. His armor was a plain white, blue outlines adorning it. This was Cu Chulainn, and he carried himself with pride, holding the lance close to him.

The final demon was Cerberus, though rather than a three-headed dog, this canine had the body of a lion save for its face. And the tail was quite thick too, slowly moving, almost as if ready to smash something. Its fur was all white, and despite the menacing appearance, it did look comfortable.

Naoki turned back to Mavis and Zeref. "I can only summon three at a time. Anymore than that, and I get a headache."

"And it would just tamper with our performance," added Pixie, flying and landing on Naoki's head. "A four-man group is better any way. Last thing we need is to trip over each other."

Now that was an attention-grabbing display. His eyes immediately fell to the small, pink Pixie; he half-expected Mavis to react with fascination, given its resemblance to a fairy. 'Fairy Tail' didn't receive its name by chance, after all.

"Interesting ability," Zeref replied. The main difference between what Naoki just did and Zeref's Living Magic is that there seemed to be no limit to what Zeref could create; once an Etherious was summoned, it remained fully autonomous, unless Zeref reverted them back to their book form. Some of them even formed their own guild. Naoki's magic seemed to be similar to what Zeref was capable of, albeit on a much smaller scale.

The way he described the summoning limit, it sounded very similar to the same kind of limit that applied to Celestial Spirit Mages. The most any Celestial Spirit Mage has ever been capable of summoning were three Zodiac Keys at once, and all of them were members of the Heartfilia family. That many spirits at once was an enormous drain on a mage's magic reserves, and could even be fatal if they proved incapable of handling it. And by all accounts, Lucy has only gotten stronger since she managed to summon three at once.

Zeref said nothing more. He wasn't a member of Fairy Tail, and while Mavis may value his opinion, it ultimately wasn't up to him. She was the guild's master. This was her call and her call alone.
