And just like that, Gray successfully became Ur's disciple.
Gray's entire life was clearly arranged between Chrollo and Ur's conversation and laughter.
This was also the beginning of him being given the title of "Pervert"...
The start of his nickname, "Fairy Tail Ice Stripper".
"Since the demon Deliora, who ravaged the town, has been completely eliminated by Chrollo," Ur leaned down, looking at the young Gray below her, and smiled, "and now, Gray, you have also become my disciple, so come back to my home with me~"
"Anyway, you don't have a place to live right now, right?"
Ur glanced at the vast, empty village...
Even the simplest wooden house would take two or three days to build with the help of magic!
Therefore, based on the above, Ur thought it was most appropriate for Gray to go home with her.
Although Ur's house wasn't big either...
But daily necessities were all available.
Enough to ensure Gray's survival in this heavy snow.
"Speaking of which, I haven't had a chance to introduce myself yet..."
"My name is Ur, Ur Milkovich, and I am an ordinary Ice-Make Mage." Then, Ur didn't give Gray a chance to speak and introduced her name and identity on her own.
At the same time, the moment Ur subconsciously turned her head to look beside her, she finally remembered the white-haired young man who had been following her...
So, with a bit of apology on her face, Ur introduced the white-haired young man's identity to Gray: "Look at my memory, I completely forgot about your senior brother just now! Yes, this is your senior brother, Lyon, Lyon Vastia! I hope you two can get along well in the future."
"Hello Gray, my name is Lyon."
Upon hearing this, Lyon took the initiative to extend his hand to Gray and greeted him.
"Hello, my name is Gray, Gray Fullbuster."
Gray looked at the hand Lyon extended to him, hesitated for a while, then took it and introduced his identity, mimicking Lyon and Ur.
"Hehe, senior and junior brothers should indeed be harmonious~"
After Gray and Lyon acknowledged each other's identities, Ur showed a relaxed and happy smile and continued, "Oh, by the way, Lyon and I live in a town about thirty miles west of here. We have a tough battle ahead, so don't slack off."
"Of course, if you feel unwell, or if you don't have enough stamina and can't keep going, just tell me anytime. I am very kind to my disciples."
Ur said, giving Gray a playful wink.
"Hey! Don't underestimate me!"
"As for stamina, I'm very confident."
Gray said stubbornly.
"In that case, I'll be taking the child Gray with me..."
Ur said, looking at Chrollo beside her, appearing ready to leave with Gray and Lyon.
"Ms. Ur, we entrust our Gray to you from now on."
However, just as Ur was about to speak...
Gray's Father, Silver, and Mother, Mika, had already stepped forward, gripping Ur's hands tightly, their eyes filled with tears, and earnestly requested.
"Your Gray?"
Ur was slightly taken aback by the words.
"Yes, I am Gray's Father."
Silver introduced himself on his own.
"I am Gray's Mother."
Mika said her identity while sobbing.
"Huh?!"
"Isn't Gray an orphan..."
Ur was shocked by Silver and Mika's words.
She had originally seen Chrollo make the decision for Gray to become her disciple, and she thought Gray was an orphan.
After all, if Gray had any relatives alive, it wouldn't be up to a stranger, at most a Mage she had met once, to make such a big decision for him, right?!
But Gray's parents were alive and well, watching from the side, and Chrollo had the nerve to make the decision for Gray regarding the apprenticeship.
Simply outrageous!
"Hey! Chrollo, you didn't tell me Gray's parents were still alive!"
Ur flashed in front of Chrollo, grabbed his collar, and asked angrily, "Since his parents are still here, how can you unilaterally make the decision for Gray's parents and let Gray become my disciple?! Do you have that right?"
"I didn't say Gray was an orphan either~" Chrollo was helpless and said on his own, "Gray's whole family was saved by me, they won't say anything about this small matter..."
"You think, that's what you think..."
"I'm really impressed by you Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild."
"Whether it's you or Gildarts!"
"Your strength is clearly so strong, yet you have no common sense of life."
"All of you, please have a little sense of boundaries!"
Ur said, forcing a smile onto her face, she walked towards Silver and Mika, whom she considered kind, and after a series of greetings and inquiries, she said softly, "So, regarding Gray becoming my disciple and needing to separate from his family to go to the town where I live to practice magic, what do you two think?"
"We'll listen to whatever Chrollo says."
Silver replied with a smile.
"Mr. Chrollo is our savior, listening to Mr. Chrollo is always right."
"Moreover, my husband and I also believe that you, who are trusted by Mr. Chrollo, are also a good person just like Mr. Chrollo!"
"So we are at ease entrusting Gray to you."
Mika also trusted Chrollo immensely.
"See? What did I tell you? It's perfectly fine for me to make the decision."
Upon hearing this, Chrollo walked to Ur's side and said with a smile.
"Shut up, I'm truly defeated."
Ur said here, she sighed helplessly, she had truly surrendered to the Mages of the Fairy Tail Guild.
"Gray, go say goodbye to your parents! Don't make them worry."
Ur patted Gray's shoulder, signaling Gray to say his final goodbyes to his parents.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Gray immediately walked towards Silver and Mika behind him, bowed, and said, "Father, Mother! I will follow Teacher Ur and work hard to practice magic."
"One day, I will become a strong Mage like Chrollo, defeat all enemies who dare to attack you, and protect you."
"Go, go~"
Seeing this, Silver awkwardly waved his hand at Gray, signaling Gray to quickly return to Ur's side and not keep her waiting.
"I believe you can do it."
Mika gently patted Gray's shoulder, she was completely moved by Gray's words, her son just said he would work hard to practice magic so he could protect them in the future!
Gray, he has really grown up~
"Okay!"
After saying goodbye to his Father and Mother, Silver and Mika, Gray immediately returned to Ur's front and said softly, "Teacher Ur, I have told my parents, we can leave now."
"In that case, let's depart now!"
Ur said weakly.
Ur swore, she really didn't want to get involved with Mages from the Fairy Tail Guild like Chrollo and Gildarts...
Unfortunately, things in this world always go against one's wishes.
"Although, I don't want to ruin the good atmosphere between you..."
Just as Ur was about to leave with Gray and Lyon, and swore never to get involved with Mages from the Fairy Tail Guild again in her life...
Chrollo seemed to have discovered something, he walked over to Ur and the others on his own and said, "But, before we leave here, we still need to deal with a certain little tail, after all, they've been observing us for so long, they need to be charged, don't you think?!"
"No, wait a minute..."
"What do you mean, before we leave?"
"Hey! Chrollo, explain clearly to me, what exactly does 'we' mean?"
Ur's brows furrowed, she keenly noticed that there was a big problem with Chrollo's words.
For example, who did "we" in Chrollo's mouth include?!
This guy, Chrollo, wasn't planning to leave with them too, was he?
She had no intention of taking Chrollo to the town where she lived!
