Allan : So dad, what happened after we passed out??
This was a question all of them tried to avoid it and they couldn't as their faces turned sad immediately...
The kids saw that and a bad premonition washed over them as they asked with a trembling voice..
Tina : Ughh... Dad, mom... What happened??
Orca, Yao and Saya watched at them with bitter and painful smiles as they hadn't left from there yet, although Orca had gathered the dust of their brothers...
Lily : Uuuuwwuu..... What happened....??
Ryouji took a deep breath and finally told them which slowly tears fell from their small faces as they fell on the Ground one by one sobbing...
At the same time, a tear fell from Joe as well which was noticed by everyone but he was so tired that he could only sob silently...
Elein had stopped pestering Natsu for now about his constitution on not being human and was watching them...
Erza and the rest had also painful expressions as they were there and let all that happened, but how should they know that Jellal's projection would be this strong to match their hellish training...
Then how strong was his true body??
At this moment, Natsu came and sat down with them telling them their heroic acts trying to amplify their status in their hearts and ease up some of their tears...
Natsu : At the end, they told us to tell you, you were the best Nephews and Nieces they could ever have...
Natsu : All the while smiling...
Surprisingly enough the kids had stopped crying with determination in their baby faces... After looking a bit to each other eyes and then to Joe who was probably thinking the same or so they thought.
They turned towards Ryouji and all their mothers before bowing down stunning all of them...
All of them : Dad!!! No Guild Master!!!! We Have A Request!!!
They waited for him to reply to them saying that they can speak but they waited for a bit as he had frozen, he never expected them to make such a formal request.
It was the first time he himself turned towards his wives who were equally speechless...
None of them knew where this is going but nevertheless, he turned towards them and gave them the ok to speak...
All Of Them : The Stealing Of Our Magic!!!! Making Our Uncles and Aunts severely injured!!!
All Of Them : We wish to deal with Ravel Tail Alone!!!
Now, everyone, had their brains fried, it was unknown how they reached towards that decision. Ryouji had a hunch why they would reach that conclusion he actually thought about it...
He thought that if it wasn't for Ivan using his Shikigami Magic and that Orga with the monkey maybe to suck them dry and at the same time bring them to such dire ropes, they could have fared better against Jellal...
Now that he thinks of this why did Jellal become so strong?? At that point, a terrifying enlightenment came on his mind about all this...
This guy thought he was an apostle of Zeref... then don't tell me he absorbed part of the demon's blood in his body?
When did the future go berserk that much??
He knew that in 7 years they would face them either way so should he accepts??
He looked at them still bowing in a formal position and waiting for him patiently, he quickly made up his mind before speaking to them...
Ryouji : Raven Tail was always a Guild that hides and incredibly hard to catch... Our best chance would be now that they came out in the open...
Ryouji : If i allow you to do so it would be years till we hear again from them...
Ryouji : Will you be able to handle them when the time comes??
All Of Them : Yes!!!
Ryouji : Fine then... Saya!!!
Saya : Yes!!!
Ryouji : You are given permission to train them for 4 Years inside the branches where time is longer, at the same time catch their tails and don't alarm them.
Ryouji : If they can't beat you within 4 years outside, 8 years inside the Branch you can follow the original Orders...
