Chapter Ten.
Erza was talking to Midnight, asking questions, while Aine was talking to Cobra.
"And you're magic?" Aine asked. Cobra didn't respond. Aine looked at him and saw him staring at her intensely. "What?"
"It's annoying how I can't here your thoughts." Cobra said.
"Well get used to it. Now your magic please." Aine said with a sigh.
"Poison Dragon Slayer Magic. Second generation." Cobra grumbled. Aine nodded and wrote it down. "How can someone control the gravity around them, stopping me from hearing them?" Cobra thought.
"Because I'm a Galaxy Dragon Slayer. I believe we have already explained that." Aine said.
"How the hell did you hear that?!" Cobra exclaimed.
"I can also use telekinesis and go into people's minds if I have to." Aine explained.
"Well stay out of my head." Cobra said as he leaned back on his chair and folded his arms.
"What's your real name?" Aine asked.
"What?" Cobra asked.
"Your real name. I was told Cobra is just an alias you use." Aine said. Cobra just stared at Aine who was writing.
"Just what the hell are you writing? I ain't said nothing yet." Cobra said.
"I'm writing hoe long it seems for you to answer my questions." Aine said. Cobra just huffed.
"It's Erik." Cobra said as he looked away. Aine then began to write that down on some paper. "Hey..." Cobra said. Aine looked up. "Is it true... Is there a girl named Kinana in your guild?" Cobra asked.
"Um, I believe so. She graduated last year." Aine explained. Aine looked at him. He was looking away. "So Kinana was his only friend..."
"You better not be reading my mind, fairy." Cobra said.
"If I was you, I'd watch your attitude around me, considering I was the one who suggested for you and your friends to be set on a trial." Aine stated.
"What?" Cobra asked as he looked at her. Aine looked at her paper.
"What weapon do you use?"
"Hold on! Did you just say that you're the one who suggested us to be set on trial?" Cobra asked.
"Is that a problem?" Aine asked.
"How the hell did they listen to you?" Cobra said.
"My adoptive father used to be a knight." Aine said.
"Oh yeah? What's his name? I might have heard of him." Cobra said.
"I said used to be. He died before you were captured and as a token of gratitude for all his bard work, the knights said if I would like to suggest any plans for anyone in prisoned, I may." Aine explained. "Now what weapons do you use?" Aine asked.
"I don't. Only my hearing and magic." Cobra said.
"That won't last you forever." Aine said as she wrote what Cobra said on some paper.
...
"Hey there, I'm Meredy." Meredy smiled.
"Meredy. What type of magic do you use?" Aine asked.
"Link magic. I can link people together." Meredy said. Aine wrote that down.
"Is Meredy your real name?" Aine asked.
"Yes, why?" Meredy asked.
"It's just on the paper." Aine said.
"Hey, are you really a second year?" Meredy asked.
"Why do you ask? Because I'm short?" Aine asked. Erza and Jellal went wide eyed.
"Well y-mm!" Meredy started to say, but Jellal and Erza put their hands on her mouth.
"Heh, heh, you're not that short Aine." Erza said.
"Y-yeah. Don't go gravity changing on us." Jellal said. Everyone else were watching.
"So basically, you're saying I'm short?" Aine asked. "And trying to stop her from saying it?" She added as she looked down with a vein popping out.
"Oh no..." Erza and Jellal said. Suddenly, the others began to float.
"Hey! What's going on?" Angel asked.
"Get a grip woman! You're a midget alright? So put us down!" Cobra said. Suddenly, Cobra hit the ceiling and they were all dropped.
"Ow..." They all groaned.
"Aine..." Erza said.
"Yes?" Aine asked, innocently.
"Don't act so innocent when you're guilty." Erza said.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Aine huffed.
"Don't lie!" The others shouted.
At break...
"So, how did being in the class go?" Lucy asked. Erza had a bump on her head.
"Painful." She said.
"Aine?" Levy asked.
"They started it." Aine huffed.
"They called her short." Erza said. The others snickered.
"Never call Ai-Ai short." Lucy said.
"Why do you hate being called short so much Aine?" Yukino asked.
"I don't hate it, it's just said and pointed out too much." Aine said. She then turned around to a locker and opened it up. She then began to put some books she was holding in it.
"Well, we better get our books ready for the revision class. See you guys at lunch." Lucy said as she and Levy walked off.
"I'm going to go check on something." Erza said as she walked off.
"I'm going to go to my locker too." Yukino said.
"Yeah, me too, see you later Ai." Wendy said. Those two then walked off. Once Aine finished putting her books away, she sighed. She then stood on her tip toes to try and get to some books on a high shelf in her locker.
"Come on..." She said. She then stood properly and sighed. "Maybe I should use my magic? No... Aine, you can do it!" Aine thought. She stood on her tip toes again and continued to try and pick up a book, but then someone grabbed it and handed it to her.
"Here." She looked to see it was Rogue with Sting.
"T-thanks..." Aine said as she took the book.
"You really don't reach that? You must be-!" Sting started to say, but then Gray came from behind him and covered his mouth.
"I've been lifted in the air enough times this week! And it's only the second day!" He exclaimed. Aine had a question mark leave her head. "You don't know what we're on about?" Gray asked. Aine just blinked. "Your magic! I've hit my heads so many times on the damn ceiling!" Gray exclaimed.
"Why don't you use your magic to reach the shelf?" Rogue asked. Aine just looked away with a blush of embarrassment.
"I-I can't..." She whispered.
"What!? You can't use it on yourself!?" Gray exclaimed as he let Sting go.
"I can't use it on myself because I already am." Aine stated. She then shut her locker door.
"You're not floating." Rogue said. Aine looked at the boys.
"It's a protection spell. I've made the gravity around me form a shield so I can't get attacked blindly." Aine stated.
Ring!
Aine then walked off as the bell rang.
"Why would she need to protect herself?" Sting asked.
"When she first became the student council president, she got beaten up severally." Gray said.
"Why?" Rogue asked.
"Who knows." Gray shrugged.
"Where's your pants?" Sting asked.
"Gah!" Gray exclaimed.
