"You're who now!" exclaimed Master Makarov. He stared at the boy in disbelief.
"Quit playing jokes on me, Rob never had any kids!" said Master. He didn't want to believe it, but in the back of his mind and heart he knew it was true.
"Well sir I can't prove it but Mr. Shitou came and told me and my mom he was my grandpa when I was real little. I choose to believe it. But I guess I have not real proof. But I do know this. My dad before he died told me that my grandpa was taken to an island and forced into slavery in the stead of some children. I found out later that a man named Rob did the exact same thing. So that's how I know its true." said Zero very seriously.
Makarov was speechless. He knew this also to be true from the account of Erza and Shitou. "So, is that all you came here for. A visit?" asked Makarov a little flustered. He quickly composed himself and looked in Zero in the eyes. "Or did you come here to be a Fairy Tail wizard?" he asked in a deadly serious tone.
"I came to be Fairy Tail wizard, and follow in my grandfathers footsteps. Do what my father could not. Will you have me in your guild?" said Zero. The office the were in was dead silent for a full minute. The Master stared Zero down, who matched the gaze unflinching.
"Okay." said the Master in his usual goofy manner. Zero fell over in astonishment. "Lets get you a mark and you'll be done. Would you like us to throw a party?" said Makarov getting out the magic stamp that would mark Zero as a Fairy Tail wizard.
"No, can we do that tomorrow. I have some business to take care of today, but tomorrow we can go all out." said Zero getting the stamp on right shoulder blade. He was so full of excitement that if he wasn't so composed he would have looked like a fool in front of the Master.
"Yes we can make that work. Do you mind if I ask why you want to postpone it?" asked Makarov. He was curious as to why a newcomer wouldn't want a party their first day.
"Oh, I have to go get some new clothes. Oh and I'm gonna get in a fight with someone on Team Natsu. See ya later Uncle Macky." said Zero coolly as he walked out of the office. Master Makarov stared in disbelief. A wizard on his first day was going to fight the strongest team in the strongest guild in the country.
"I sure hope I don't have to bury him tomorrow. that would be the shortest time anyone has ever been in the guild." said Makarov taking a deep swig of the ale in his flask.
