[Adam C. POV]
My day began like any other, in the guild's office. Seated at my desk, I was surrounded by papers, each document a reminder of the responsibilities now resting on my shoulders, a reminder of how boring being a Guild Master was. The comforting sound of someone punching someone else outside served as a backdrop while I worked through the pile of paperwork, signing and stamping documents to avoid dealing with the council.
As I worked, the door creaked open, and I glanced up to see Urahara moonwalking in, his usual hat atop his head, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Working hard or hardly working, Adam?" he quipped, closing the door behind him.
I rolled my eyes. "A bit of both, Kisuke. What brings you here?"
He leaned against the doorframe, folding his arms. "Just wanted to see how you're holding up after your big date with Erza. The talk of the guild, I hear."
I felt a warmth creep into my cheeks. "Yeah, well, you know how it is here. Nothing stays secret for long."
Urahara's expression shifted, turning more serious. "Gossip out of the way, there's something I wanted to talk to you about. Have you noticed anything... different about your friends lately?"
Urahara sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly. "You're right, Adam. I should have noticed sooner. But the truth is, this world is... quite a conundrum when it comes to energy itself. Their influx of spiritual power was so gradual, that it was almost imperceptible at first. It wasn't until recently that the signs became unmistakable. I apologize for not acting sooner."
I know I was over the entire, 'not trusting Urahara thing', but shit like this made me question. "Very well, what do I have to do?"
Urahara straightened up, a determined glint in his eyes. "We need to gather everyone who's soul has been infected with your own. Meaning, Cana, Laxus, Natsu, Gildarts, Erza and Gray."
Natsu and Gray? Huh, I barely spend any time with them. I guess I might have spent more time than I remember with those two. "Got it."
"After that, we need to train them by killing them," Urahara added with a smile.
I blinked in disbelief, my mouth hanging open. "Killing them? Are you out of your mind?" I exclaimed, a mix of horror and disbelief washing over me.
Urahara raised his hand to pacify my growing agitation. "Adam, please, hear me out. It's not what it sounds like.... I mean sure we have to kill them, but not kill them kill them, more like kind of kill them. We need to bring their souls out of their bodies, teach them the basics, and shove their souls back, and worry not, I will let you shove Erza's soul."
I stared at Urahara, my thoughts racing and my mind struggling to comprehend his words. "You want to kill them, but not really kill them? How does that even work? I... you know what, I'm far too dumb to try and understand your chaotic mind, so I'll just roll with it."
Urahara chuckled, seemingly relieved by my response. "Ah, Adam, you always know how to keep things interesting. Trust me, this method is the best way to ensure their safety and prepare them for what's to come."
I crossed my arms. "And there it is. What is to come?"
"I said that out-loud, didn't I?" Urahara hummed with a sheepish grin. "Apologies, my friend. I tend to get ahead of myself sometimes. But worry not, I shall explain everything."
I glared at him.
"Right now, I will explain everything right now," Urahara sighed. "You sir, are no fun."
