Chapter 9 - Coercion (2/2)
Taking a look at the captains that were looking down at him from above, Grim couldn't help but sigh.
'I'm gonna regret this.'
”You win... I'll join.” He said in a defeated tone.
”Seriously!” Asta jumped to his feet with a surprising amount of energy.
”Yeah.” Grim nodded and turned to Yami. ”What's the name of your squad?”
---
Before leaving with Asta and Grim, Yami had a brief conversation with his spacial taxi Finral.
”Captain, were you really gonna turn away that kid with no magic if the other one didn't join?”
”Huh? Of course not.” Yami looked at Finral like he was an idiot.
”Eh? Then why did you say you'd only accept him if the other kid joined?”
”Two for the price of one.” Yami took in a deep drag. ”And it was funny to watch the faces of the other captains when they saw him agree to join my squad. Haha hilarious.” He laughed and carried on smoking without a care in the world.

”Hey! How long are you gonna be?” Grim yelled while Asta was in the bathroom.
”Just give me a minute!!”
'What the hell have I gotten myself into...'
”What's your name anyway?”
”I'm Asta!”
”Just Asta?”
”Yeah. What about you?”
”Its Grim.”
”Grim? Your name can't be that bad.”
”No, my name is Grim.”
”I'm sure your name is really nice.”
”No! As in the word Grim, is my name.”
”I don't get it.”
”....Just call me Grim.”
---
”What took you two so long?” Yami asked when he saw the two of them coming over.
”My stomache hurt! Like you wouldn't believe the size of the thing that out of m- Ow, Ow, Ow!” Yami suddenly gripped onto his head and started squeezing.
”Who the hell told you to give me all the details?”
”Ow, Ow, Ow, please let go!”
*Sigh* 'Why did agree to join these idiots...'
”Oi, why the hell are you sighing?” Yami turned to face him.
”Just feeling a bit tired.” Grim smiled and tried not to draw too much attention.
”Hmm... Oi Finral, get us outta here.”
”Right.” Nodding his head, the spacial mage pointed at the area in front of him and executed a spell from his grimoire.
[Spacial magic- Fallen Angel's Gate]
Pointing his hand out in front of him, space twisted until it was replaced with a bluey gray blob of static.
'So this is spacial magic...' Grim looked at the portal with intrigue.
”WOAH!! That's so cool!!” Asta yelled.
”Ready to go captain.”
”Good.” Picking Asta up by his collar, he yeeted him through the portal before turning to look at a Grim.
”AHHHH!!!”
[A/n: You guys have no idea how much I wanted him to shout LEEEEROY JEEENKINSSS!!]
Hearing, Asta's scream, Grim made the wise choice to just walk through the portal instead of waiting for Yami to yeet him through.
