The town of Magnolia had an odd glow today. Something that made everything seem brighter. Everything had a sense of joy and excitement for what was going to come today. Ushida, who was in bed, woke up. He opened his eyes and stared at his ceiling which was illuminated by the morning sun. As a result of this, his room in turn emanated light. Which he simply hated. He closed the curtains inside his room and laid down in his bed for a little while, trying to think why he always opens the curtains before he goes to sleep. He quietly got out of his bed and walked over to his closet, which had a number of clothing styles, though the only ones he wore were arabic inspired clothing. He had some knack for it, which many people thought was weird, though Ushida didn't really care. The clothes breathed and it gave him chances to cool off faster in the heat.

He slipped his clothes on and walked over to his desk, making another tally mark on a paper that was chock full of the marks. Each one represented a new day and eventually the white paper would become dull and gray. Which gave Ushida the motivation to do so, because he wanted to see the paper turn black and eventually look deformed by the many marks left by the pencil he marked it with. He walked over to the door to his room and made sure no one was in the hallway.

He found no one in the hallway, so he went outside. As he walked through the front door of the Fairy Tail men's dorm, he shrouded himself in darkness and took a jog. This was one of the many exercises that Ushida did in order for him to become stronger. He used both physical exertion and magical exertion in order to maintain the highest magical and physical capacity. After a while of doing this, he decided to stop because he didn't want to use all of his magical power in order to complete one measly exercise. He decided to go back to his dorm, when he saw Akako running down a set of stairs leading toward the guild.

Well, doesn't she look happy. I wonder where the hell she's going? Maybe I should mess with her... He smiled a little bit as he saw her run by. But... As much as I'd love to do that... I have to do training. I guess I'll just settle with a death stare for now. He looked at her with eyes so full of hate, they could kill. He hoped she would turn around and look at him, but it didn't happen. That made him a little mad, which made him work a little harder. He continued with his routine of exercises as the day went on.

He sighed as he sat down on the grass around him, a little tired from his exercises. He looked up at the sky and wondered what the world would be like if it was dark all the time. He had pondered this question a number of times, though he never really considered it because he couldn't look at the world a different way. The world was exactly as it was supposed to be. If it was supposed to be different, it would be.

He heard a sudden scuffling of feet and looked toward the guild entrance, where he witnessed what seemed like a chase scene from a movie. He laughed as he saw Ben running off with Sinclair's hat. He deserves it anyways... Being all superficial and proper. He's completely fake. No one acts like that naturally. He saw them go in the same direction as Akako and realized that Ben was probably going to run into her. He knew that they liked each other and he teased Akako about it every chance he got. He tried to make her as mad as possible to crush the usual positive attitude that she has. Though, he didn't mind her other personality because she wasn't constantly talking and jumping around all the time.

He walked into the actual guild hall to find that Seraphina was back from her trip. He saw Nico at the bar and Seraphina was talking to him. Ushida walked over to one of the booths in one of the corners far away from the entrance doors to the guild. He used his magic power to put a kind of sleep mask over his face. Then he tuned out all of the noise inside the guild and tried to take a nap.
