Chapter 41 - Third Member

"Yo! Grandchild!" Jin said in a deep voice to the blue haired boy in front of him.

The blue haired boy was speechless.

Who is he calling grandchild? He looked left and right and found no one else. He looked at Jin and pointed at himself.

"M-Me?!"

Jin nodded and said, "From now on, you will become the grandchild of our guild, Thousand Abyss. Thousand Abyss decided to adopted you young man."

"Eh!!" Jellal was speechless. He didn't know what this man was saying. He couldn't follow anything he said.

"Hais... " Jin sighed as he looked at Jellal and asked, "Do you understand?"

"Errr... " Jellal didn't know what to say.

"I will ask you once. Do you want to leave here and join our guild? Or do you want to stay here being a slave?" Jin give him a choice.

"Eh? What's the different?" Jellal asked. In his opinion the two choices were the same. He thought that these people would take him as slave too.

"In our guild you will become powerful. That's the only thing you need to remember. We will not force you to labor like this. We will force you to become powerful. You don't need to worry about this. If you could defeat me then you can do want you want." Jin said to him.

After a few moments Jellal looked at him seriously. "All right! I will join your guild!"

"Good" Jin nodded as he was satisfied at Jellal's answer.

He turned around and said, "Let's go, follow me"

Jellal followed behind him as both of them went out of the tower.

...

Ur was rampaging outside the tower while freezing every tower guards that she saw.

"Ahahaha!! It's been a while since I've let out myself like this" Ur laughed as she casted her magic.

ICE MAKE: ICE DRAGON!!

a huge dragon made of ice appeared beside her. It dragon went down and swallowed the tower guards.

"It's feels like you've become a villian!"

Ur turned around and saw Jin. She looked beside him and saw a blue haired young boy.

"Is this him?" Ur looked at him and asked.

"Yeah" Jin nodded and he nudge Jellal. "Oi! Boy, greet your grandma!"

Jellal was speechless once again. Even though they were wearing a mask Jellal could still see that they were quite young.

Veins pop up on Ur's forehead.

Ur suddenly threw a punch at him but Jin dodge her punch and reflexively shot a punch at her.

Bang!!

"Ouch!!" Ur felt pain on her face as she received the punch through her mask.

Jin realize what he have done. He immediately think of an excuse. He then quickly grabbed the mask on Ur's face and push it forward.

"Your mask is gonna fall, don't think about anything else I just help you cover your face." Jin said in a plain voice but he was secretly laughing inside his mind.

'Hahaha!! You dare to bring down that ice block to me! That's what you get!' He thought.

Jellal just looked at their interaction.

"Cough... We need to get out of here now!" Jin coughed forcefully and he changed the topic.

Ur could only sighed at him.

Then the three of them left the tower.

The rest of the slave use the boat in the shore to escape the island.

...

A day after this incident. The three were inside the inn.

"Here!" Jin give a mask to Jellal.

Jellal received it and observed the mask on his hand. The mask was colored silver with the guild crest at it's forehead. The mask would looked plain if it didn't have the guild crest.

"Let's put the mark of the guild on your body. Where do you want to put it?" Jin asked him.

"As you're grandpa I will decide it." Jin didn't let him say anything.

Ur sighed looking at Jin.

Jin turned his head to Ur and said, "You've change, Ur"

"Me?!" Ur pointed at herself.

"Yeah." Jin nodded and said, "Before you were just a protective master to your disciple and daughter, but now you're slowly becoming a violent woman."

"Isn't because of you!!" Ur said to him loudly. "I don't have anyone to talk but you. You.. You're slowly influencing me to become like this."

"I've missed the gentle and mȧturė Ur" Jin said as he fake his sobbing. This woman was getting out of character. This isn't what I want!

"Anyway" Jin expression suddenly changed. "Let's put the mark of the guild on you Jellal."

Jin put the guild crest on the left shoulder of Jellal. It was dark blue in color just like Ur.

"From now on you're the third member of the Thousand Abyss. I'm happy for you Jellal."

"Finally, we get another member. I'm actually getting bored with Jin. All he did was meditate if not making some trouble."

"Congratulations!! Happy for you!! We will throw a party for you!! Yay!!"

"Hais... "

"Aren't you happy? Aren't you happy? Tell me, are you happy?"
