Third Person Pov
Makarov sat down on his chair while Shanks sat down opposite to him.
Makarov looked at the boy in front of him. He was an anomaly. A human who possesses the blood of a Ancient Giant. The son of possibly the strongest Mage in whole of Ishgar.
'Red-haired Shanks.' Makarov thought looking at one of his children. 'That's what everyone calls him.'
Makarov was proud of the boy in front of him. To be this strong so quickly. Makarov knew it was not all just latent talent. The hard work he put. The extent to what the boy trained.
Makarov knew it all.
"I am proud of you brat." Makarov smiled as he said.
Shanks merely smirked.
"Yeah.." Shanks replied. "Why did you call me here?"
"Straight to the point eh." Makarov said. "I want you to explore the south side of Fiore. I have gotten some valuable information about one of our old Guild Member disappearing there."
Shanks nodded. He knew who Makarov was talking about though he had no name but he did remember one of the major arcs - The tower of Heaven.
"When do I set out?"
"It would be better for you to set out today."
Shanks nodded looking outside through the window. It was still Morning.
Makarov continued. "I will give you the money so you don't have to worry about expenses and be careful. If there is any danger, contact the Guild. I will call Gildarts or Ur from their Jobs."
Shanks shook his head. "Don't worry."
Makarov merely nodded and Shanks got out from the room.
"Haah." Shanks sighed. "Another mission."
He muttered.
And just then he heard a sound inside his head.
DING
A sound he had yearned to hear for years.

It was a bit useless.
'A cheat is a cheat.' Shanks thought. The system had helped him a lot. The skills he had had propelled his power and made it diverse.
"Big bro!"
Shanks looked at the Hall. There was practically nobody here except Clira.
Cana had gone with Ur, Gray and Lyon to a Mission. They had started hanging out more.
All the members of the Thunder Tribe had also joined the Guild but they had gone to a mission.
"Why did the Master call you?" Clira asked Shanks as she wiped the plate.
"He wants me to explore southern part of Fiore." Shanks said as he motioned for a drink.
Clira nodded. "So when will you head out?"
"In an hour or so." Shanks said taking a gulp.
Clira nodded. "You have been getting famous."
"Hahah. Really? Shanks laughed.
"Yeah. I heard you will be the Cover Model for the next issue of Sorcerer Magazine and they even took your interview, Didn't they?"
Shanks nodded. "They did but I don't know when they will use it."
"I know they will be using you. You are the Strongest young Wizard of Fiore."
Shanks smirked.
"That. I am."
Clira nodded. "How has your training with Miss.Porlyusica going on?"
"It's going good. I have ditched the Healing Magic training and have been focusing everything on medical herbs and bit of Alchemy."
Clira smirked. "I told you Healing Magic is nigh impossible to increase if you don't have enough talent. I am surprised that you at least managed to learned the Magic."
"Yeah. It's good enough."
Clira merely smiled. She had been getting old.
An hour passed and before Shanks knew it he boarded the train.
