31 Chapter 31
Robin used the excuse of arguing with Jason to observe Messiah and Jason calmly.
Messiah tried to separate Robin and Jason. He placed one hand on Jason's chest and the other on Robin's...stomach. He said seriously, "Don't quarrel."
But the Messiah only served to separate them, and they could still look at each other without obstruction in the empty space above the Messiah's head.
Jason snorted coldly, grabbed Messiah's arm and lifted him behind him: "I didn't argue with him, I just couldn't stand him."
In fact, Robin is Jason's idol. He likes Robin even more than Batman, but how could he show it at this time.
Jason covered his red ears and didn't notice the smile in Robin's eyes.
"Alright, alright, let's call a truce for now." Robin cleared his throat, crossed his arms, and said cheerfully, "At least let me know your purpose?"
"If I could be your teacher...it would be fine!"
Robin didn't know what he was thinking about, but his expression suddenly became eager. He circled around Jason and Messiah a few times and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. You seem qualified to be my students. I agree."
Jason got angry and said, "Who needs your approval?"
Messiah said seriously, "There's only Jason, not me. I already know how to do it, I don't need to learn."
Robin pretended not to hear Jason and Messiah's rejections. After all, Messiah had invited him here, so he just went along with it.
Thinking of the experience of Messiah suddenly appearing behind him and him being mind-controlled without even having the power to resist, the bright smile on Robin's face faded a little.
Being able to achieve this level at the age of five, and using his abilities so recklessly, it's no wonder B is so vigilant.
Messiah shook Jason's hand and turned to look at him, his fair face full of seriousness: "Jason, if you want to become stronger, I will take Robin as my teacher."
Jason was stunned for a moment, and his previous memories surfaced in his mind. He did tell Messiah that he wanted to become stronger and protect Messiah, and Messiah nodded at that time.
So this is what the Messiah’s nod meant?
Jason instantly wilted. He subconsciously looked at Robin, a mixture of embarrassment and apology making his expression look particularly strange.
Messiah secretly withdrew his gaze from the school hundreds of kilometers away. He imitated the way other parents treated their children, stood on tiptoe, patted Jason's shoulder, and said sternly, "Study hard."
Jason thought Messiah's attitude was a little strange, but with Robin in front of him, he didn't want to pay attention to it for the time being.
"Thank you for thinking of me, Messiah." Jason forced a smile. He didn't want to upset Messiah. After all, Messiah did this for him. "But next time, before you do this, can you tell me what you're going to do in advance?"
So that he can be mentally prepared, or be able to stop your sudden inspiration in time...
"Besides, we can't just capture Robin casually. We need Robin's consent."
At this point, Jason's attitude became serious. He also discovered this characteristic of Messiah, that he never considered whether others agreed before doing things.
If it was just him, Messiah could do whatever he wanted and he would accept everything from his brother, but if it involved other people, it would be a different story.
Batman might be partially right, the Messiah really does have no scruples...
But this was not Messiah's fault, it was his brother's fault. He had not taught Messiah well and had allowed Messiah, who was still a baby mentally, to do all this.
The hair on Messiah's head stood up: "Agree?"
Robin's voice came from afar: "It's okay, I forgive you~ Now I agree~"
While Messiah and Jason were talking, Robin looked around the small apartment without hesitation. He first sent a message to Batman, and then took the opportunity to plant seven or eight eavesdropping devices.
Sorry, but you invited me here. Robin Niao Niao sneakily opened the wardrobe and quickly stuffed bugs and trackers into several clothes. With such a good opportunity here, who could resist?
After the release, Robin came out again and smiled brightly at Messiah and Jason, hiding his caution and vigilance under the smile.
In fact, Messiah witnessed Robin's entire behavior. He looked at Robin in confusion as he put down several black millet grains, not knowing why Robin did this.
Batman had done that before. Messiah remembered Batman throwing black pellets at him and Jason. Maybe this was a Gotham trait?
Messiah made a lot of guesses, but he didn't stop Robin from doing this, just like he didn't stop Batman at the time.
It doesn't matter.
Messiah didn't see any need to stop this. No matter what Batman and Robin wanted to do, it wouldn't affect him and Jason.
This was a hidden arrogance, but the Messiah himself was unaware of it.
Jason looked warily at Robin who came out of the bedroom, his eyes filled with vigilance: "Who allowed you to enter our bedroom?"
Robin shrugged, walked up to Jason and Messiah and put his arms around their shoulders, and slid the tracker and eavesdropping device into their collars.
He winked at Jason and said with a bright smile, "Please, please, don't be angry. I'm just visiting."
"Besides, I'll be your teacher for a while, so it's normal to get to know each other."
The chirping birds defeated Jason with unmatched enthusiasm, causing Jason's ears to turn red.
"Don't touch me, and don't touch Messiah." Jason pulled Messiah away from Robin's enthusiasm, "Keep a safe distance."
Messiah pulled his collar, and the eavesdropping device and locator rolled down, and then he stopped with satisfaction.
The black grains Robin had just placed there made him feel a little uncomfortable, so Messiah deliberately adjusted his position, not noticing the brief change in Robin's expression.
Had Messiah noticed the bugs and trackers he'd placed? Robin kept his composure. If he had, why would he have allowed them to remain?
Are you trying to confuse him?
Robin speculated about Messiah's thoughts based on his own way of thinking, and thought that Messiah might want to wait until he left and then replace the audio and location with fake ones to confuse him.
Otherwise he couldn't understand why Messiah discovered the bug and tracker, but still chose to keep them and didn't even show any unhappiness.
The possibility that Messiah didn't recognize the bug and tracker hadn't occurred to Robin at all.
The true illiterate Messiah tilted his head innocently.
Batman listened to the conversation in the headset. The chattering of the three children made the corners of his mouth rise unconsciously.
He looked at the children playing and fighting through the glass window, his blue eyes filled with smiles. It seemed that it was a good decision to give Robin the task of contacting Messiah and Jason.
Perhaps because the atmosphere in the apartment was too good, Batman's vigilance against the Messiah was reduced a little. He smiled and took one last look at the scene inside the window, then turned around and left the high-rise building opposite the apartment without hesitation.
Batman landed with his grappling gun swinging, and began his solo night patrol.
Messiah withdrew his gaze from the window and breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing Batman didn't come to steal Robin, Messiah thought. He didn't need to worry about how to treat Batman.
He had been wondering whether he should have Batman become Jason's teacher as well, or erase Batman's memory of Robin, but now that Batman was gone, none of that was necessary.
Robin shuddered again. It was so strange. Did he really have a cold?
But soon, he put this strange feeling behind him and was eager to start teaching.
Robin cleared his throat and straightened his chest: "Robin's class is starting——"
"You, Jason, Robin Trainee Number One." Robin pointed at Jason, who turned his head away, and then pointed at Messiah, who looked up at him obediently, "You, Messiah, Robin Trainee Number Two."
"We'll have to call each other by code names from now on. This is the first lesson for superheroes - hiding your true identity."
Looking into Jason and Messiah's eyes, Robin seemed to see his former self, and for some reason he uttered the word "superhero".
After saying this, Robin paused, but found that he did not regret it.
As a teenager and the leader of the teenage superhero group Young Justice, Robin understands the thoughts of young people with talent and a sense of justice.
Messiah only wanted to protect his brother, but Jason definitely wanted to protect others.
Looking at Jason's eyes that suddenly brightened, Robin became more convinced that he was doing the right thing and that he was guiding the two children onto the right path.
——Since Jason was moved, the Messiah would also change for Jason. Just like the Messiah promised Jason not to kill, so he never killed anyone again.
Robin cleared his throat and continued, "You are my apprentices. You must obey my orders and cannot act on your own. Do you understand?"
He had meant to be serious, but his tone couldn't help but leap with joy. Having his own apprentice was a completely different feeling than leading Young Justice.
Jason tutted, but didn't object.
Robin is the dream and idol of all Gotham children. Jason is actually very happy to be able to learn from Robin, but he doesn't want to show it in front of Robin, especially Robin who has quarreled with him.
Messiah raised his hand obediently, imitating what he had observed students doing at school when speaking.
Robin nodded at Messiah with satisfaction: "Robin, student number two, you go."
If you ignore the fact that Robin was kidnapped by the Messiah and just look at their interaction, it's such a heartwarming scene.
"Robin, I don't need to learn," Messiah said seriously, "I've already learned it."
—From Shorty Robin.
Robin raised an eyebrow, hummed, and curiously leaned closer to Messiah. "Got it? What I'm going to teach you is something very powerful, something that only Robin can teach you. It's not something that just anyone can compare to."
He realized this was the perfect opportunity to test the Messiah.
Messiah thought about it for a moment. A short Robin was still Robin, so if you rounded it up, it could be considered Robin's exclusive certification. So he shook his head and said, "Not casually."
Jason looked at Messiah with worry, and subconsciously stepped forward to separate Messiah and Robin, but Robin nimbly avoided him.
"Want to try a fight with me?" Robin winked at Messiah. "Let me try 'not casual' too."
He wanted to see who was the guy on the Batcomputer who deliberately distorted the Messiah's thoughts.
Seeing Robin eager to try, Messiah nodded: "Okay."
