Yeah, I thought chapter 5 and 6 were quite short so just get it done and over with.
Chapter 6: Yajima's Worries
Everyone was worried waiting quietly in the guild. They were worried especially how they were going to console Erza when she returned from the council.
Gray could not believe his ears when he heard about what happened to Jellal. He had known Jellal since the school day and even worked with him in researching on magic. Never did he expect that Jellal who was way powerful than him was met with an accident. Just what had happened?
"Let's head to Era and pick them up." Lucy suggested as she slammed on the table and stood up.
"Are you kidding me? Just travelling there will take us one day. Who knows they may be back when we are on the way to the council. On top of that we are not working there nor are we an S class mage. We are not authorised to enter the council premise. " Gray replied folding his arms.
"Are you suggesting that we will continue to wait here and not doing anything to help?" Lucy retorted. She could no longer take it.
"Everyone shall stay here. Nobody is to move." Makarov who had been sitting in silence had spoken his decision.
On the other hand, at the council, the council members were having an emergency meeting on Jellal's disappearance. They were deciding on sending Pantherlily out for investigation.
"Pantherlily is taking care of the underground prison. He is unable to get away. " Yajima who was one of the council member involved in the meeting highlighted.
"Other than him, who do you suggest should go? Pantherlily is the strongest member in Jellal's corp. Besides, he is currently only taking care of the Former master of Kingdom Empire, I can easily get someone else from his corp to take over Pantherlily's duty." Ultear commented.
"Ultear has a point there." One of the members agreed with her.
As the chairman was unavailable, Org, the sage of the Magic Council chaired the meeting. He had made his decision. "If that is the case, I shall leave this matter to Ultear to send Pantherlily together with some of the rune knights to investigate the area where Jellal was last seen."
Ultear smiled deviously. Her plan would work. Of course she would get the kid to take over Pantherlily's duty. Yajima looked at her in doubt. He was worried but he could not say anything about it. He was worried about what was going to come. Can their fate be changed?
Yajima walked down the corridor after the meeting ended. He needed to talk to the boy soon. This was the best time to leave the council if he wanted to. Being able to see through the fate of the people, Yajima was aware that the boy, Natsu no longer belonged to this world. He was not supposed to go through all these. He was wondering if it is ok for his fate to be amended.
"Can you tell me, my mate? " Yajima looked out from the window of his office.
At this moment, someone was plotting something in the dark.
"Are you getting used to it here?" A mysterious voice was heard. A man in hood with his face leaning on his hand sat on his "throne" listening to his next order. Blue hair could be seen from his hood.
"Yeah, I'm getting used to it." The man responded. His voice echoed in the space.
"We had got rid of the nuisance. It's time to proceed to the next stage of our plan. "
"Sure of course, all these were so well planned ahead. I'm honoured to be selected to participate on this operation. I was created by you from his data after all and I'm currently still digesting the information transferred from him. " The man looked up smirking to himself showing his face with a tattoo over his right eye.
"I wonder how are they going to stop me, as Jellal Fernandes?"
