After proving his worth in the baptism Magna decided to give Asta a tour of the black bulls headquarters, "Here we have the black bulls living area, ridiculously huge ain't it" said Magna as the two of them stood in the living area that was past the entrance. The only two people there at the moment was Charmy who was still eating from plates that had piles of food on them and Gauche who was looking a photo of his sister with blood coming out of his right nostril.
"The black bulls library" he said as the two of them walked into the library where most of the shelves had dust on them.
"Here we have the beast room" said Magna as the two of them stood in a dark hallway with one lantern. There was giant cage where giant beasts looking threatening trying to bust out of the cage.
"Why do we have a beast room" said Asta stepping back.
"It's captains Yami habi, the only speaks against it the most is Rosa" said Magna as the beast hit the cage again.
"Rosa?" asked Asta looking confused
"Yeah she's another member of the black bulls, she joined around the time after Yami became captain, she's not around much but when she does she goes on missions with the him" said Magna as the beast hit the cage making him laugh while Asta screamed.
"Here's the men's bathhouse" said Magna as the two of them sat in the bath where bulls heads made out of stone were on the wall, with water coming out out of the mouths, "Hot enough for you" he said smirking at Asta.
"I can take it" said Asta looking determined.
After the bath two of them got dressed and stood in front of a hallway that was filled with wires, "This leads to the women's bath, the hallways filled with alll sorts of trap magic, so if a man try's to go through it will go off" said Magna.
"That's understandable" said Asta.
"Here's the bathroom" said Magna opening the door only to be met with the angry look on their captains face who was sitting on the toilet.
"Your dead" he said.
Magna quickly shut the door, the two of them started running away while Magna laughed and Asta screamed, "Well that's it for everything, you'll have to do some of the chores since you're a newby here" said Magna as the two of them headed towards one of the exits while the sunset.
"Alright, wait who's that" said Asta as the two of them looked ahead to see someone walking in wearing a black bulls rhobe. It was Noelle with a calm look on her face as she walked over to them.
"If it's really him, then he'll remember me won't he" she thought worriedly but still kept the calm look on her face.
"Oh Asta this is your fellow newby who joined the same time as you" said Magna.
"Oh hi I'm Asta from Hage Village, it's nice to meet you" said Asta reaching out his hand while smiling.
But what he didn't know was Noelle felt both a mixture of anger and sadness thinking it wasn't the person she knew as she slapped his hand away, "How dare you talk to me, I'm Noelle Silva of the royal family and you will treat me as such" she said.
"Wait your royalty" said Asta as he quickly bowed his head on the ground, "Please forgive me I didn't know" he said.
"It really isn't him, the Asta I knew didn't treat me differently just because of my status" thought Noelle.
"Hey wait a minute we're on the same magic knights squad so that makes us equal" said Asta quickly getting back up looking annoyed.
"Yeah that's right you tell her Asta" said Magna.
"Well if that's not enough then our difference in magic power should do" she said looking sirious as she pointed her right forward as a blue glow surrounded her hand. A giant round sphere of water started to form surprising Asta. She pushed the water sphere towards Asta but it changed direction sending Magna into the wall.
"How dare you attack your superior" said Magna getting back up looking annoyed that some of his clothes was soaked.
"Well you shouldn't have been it's way then" said Noelle pushing a piece of her hair back.
"Listen I don't care if your royalty or that your brothers captain of the silver eagles, while you're here you will respect me as your superior" said Magna looking annoyed.
Noelle looked annoyed as she then threw her black bulls rhobe to the ground, "Fine then, I don't even want be part of this stupid squad anyway" she said quickly turning around and walking away.
"Hey get back here and apologise and while your at it apologise to captain Yami for disrespecting the rhobe" said Magna picking up the dropped rhobe, "Wow can you believe that Asta" he said looking back at Asta who had a shocked look on the face.
"That magic, there's something familiar about that" he said suddenly clutching his head as he felt a sharp pain go through it.
"Hey it's been a long day so I'll show you to your room" said Magna leadings him back inside the building.
"Well here it is your room, a mess ain't it, mines way worse" said Magna as they looked inside Asta's room to see the sheets on the bed were messed up, there was dust on the flooor and cobwebs on the window.
"Uh its really mine" said Asta smiling as he then quickly got to work on cleaning the dust off the floor and wiping the cobwebs off the window.
"You really don't mind" said Magna surprised at Asta's happy attitude.
"Yeah back at the church we all had to share one room and be in a line, this is way better compared to that" said Asta as he continued to clean.
"Well alright then, oh and Asta" said Magna getting his attention, "Make sure to write back to the people back home, it's important to keep in contact with the people you know, that's what being a man is all about" he said giving him a thumbs up.
"Yeah I will, thanks Magna" said Asta smiling.
After cleaning up his room Asta wrote a letter to sister Lily and the others back at the church that he had made it into a magic knights squad. He told them he would like them to see the things he saw at the capital and that he's got a feeling this will lead him to rememrbing what happenned.
The next morning Asta woke up in his room as the sun shined into his room, "It really wasn't a dream, I really joined a magic knights squad" he said. After getting dressed he walked out of his room only to walk into a stone pillar, "Ow that hurts, was this even here last night" he said rubbing his nose.
"Hey Asta morning" said Magna.
"Oh hey Magna, was this pillar always here" he asked?
"Oh this place is always changing around so it would be easy to get lost if you didn't know all the rooms" said Magna laughing.
Asta walked around the headquarters trying to find the bathroom when he found himself outside, "How did I get all the way out here, I was looking for the bathroom when" he began to say when he heard a loud noise from within the forest. When he got closer he had to dodge a blast of water. He then looked into a clearing where Noelle stood in front of a tree with white circles drawn on it like a target. There were multiple craters in the ground with small water puddles in them. Noelle looked to be exhausted as she put her hands on her knees.
"Why can't I get it right" said Noelle stading up straight as she pointed both her hands forward, she fired multiple blasts of water towards the tree but kept missing, "Why can't I hit the target" she said looking annoyed after trying a few more times. She then started to think back to the insults she had gotten from her older siblings because of this, "Are you sure your royalty, you can't even control your own magic, that grimoire of yours is useless it might aswell be empty" we're the insults from her sister Nebra and Solid.
But she could see clearly in her head Nozels insult, "Theres no place for someone like you in my squad, why couldn't it have been you who died instead of our mother".
"Poor Noelle" said Asta, but when he got a closer look at Noelles face he felt a sharp pain go through his head making him grunt in pain, "Ahh" he said clutching his head.
This caught Noelles attention as she looked towards him, "Oh hey" he said looking calm while she looked afraid.
"He saw me, whats he going to say" she thought pushing her hands forward as water started to form, but she then looked shocked as the water started to surround her in giant water bubble. She held her breath as it started to move up into the air.
Inside the black bulls headquarters Luck was sitting at one of the tables when a spark went behind his neck making him smile as he looked towards outside. Yami was walking down on one of the hallways, "Well I thinks it time for my morning nap" he said rubbing the back of his head and he looked out the window to see a giant water orb with multiple water tornados shooting out of it.
Meanwhile in the forest Asta was running away from the out of control magic, but he was then hit in the back with a blast of water, he was able to stop himself from falling but when he was hit a flash of a young girl went through his mind, but what stuck out was her silver hair, "Wait was that" he thought almost recognising the girl.
Outside the black bulls headquarters the members who were there looked up at the magic power in front of them, "That's magic" said Magna noticing what kind of power it was.
"Yeah out of control magic" said Vanessa noticing Noelle in the giant water bubble holding her water breath.
"She's gonna be in trouble if we don't do somehting, not to mention the base will take some real damage if it reaches it, why don't you use your spacial magic to get her out of there" said Yami looking at Finral.
"In this situation I don't think it will work" said Finral.
"If only we had a way to dispel that magic" said Yami when in the distance a blast of water sent Asta flying into the air and towards him. Yami caught him by his head, "Well if it ain't our own anti magic user" he said but Asta didn't hear him.
Asta's head had hit Yamis hand with great force, at that moment the memory's he had once lost returned to him, how he met Noelle a long time ago when she was sad, he made her feel better and that the two of them wanted to meet again.
"Hey kid you alright, we kind of need your right now" said Yami looking confused.
"You mind giving me a throw captain" said Asta with a sirious tone in his voice that surprised the other black bulls but Yami just smiled.
"I like the way you think kid, go pushed past your limits" he said throwing Asta into the air. As he got closer to the water bubble Asta looked determined as he quickly took out his big anti magic sword from his grimoire and cut into the magic destroying it completely.
Asta then looked to see Noelle opening her eyes after almost passing out from the lack of oxygen, he quickly moved and held her close as they continued to fall. The two of them then fell through a magic portal and landed on the ground.
"That was your spacial magic right Finral, thanks for the save" said Asta as Finral closed his grimoire smiling. Asta then looked at Noelle who was now looking down at the ground.
"What are they going to say about me, a person who can't even control their magic" thought Noelle bracing herself for the worst, but she was then surprised when Asta hugged her, "Hey what are you" she began to say when she was interrupted with him saying "I'm sorry" making her look confused.
He then looked at her and removed his headband fully revealing the scar, "When I ran away I got injured and forgot about what happenned, I'm sorry Noelle" he said.
Noelle then looked surpsied as she got a closer look at Asta's face without the headband on, an image of younger Asta appeared in her head, "Asta, it really is you" she said with tears of joy in her eyes she hugged him surprising him, but he quickly hugged her back smiling, "I've wanted to see you again for so long" she said.
"Wait so the memory Asta forgot about" said Magna realizing why the two of them were hugging.
"Was that the two of them met a long time ago and wanted to see each other again" said Vanessa smiling, "But it looks like those feeelings might have changed to something other then friendship" she thought nocitng the way the two of them were holding each other close.
"Well now with that settled" said Magna getitng the two young magic knights attention. Noelle looked embarrassed realizing multiple people were noticing their moment, "You felt worried that you couldn't control your own magic, your perfect for this squad, were the black bulls were all a bunch of mess ups" he said as the black bulls rhobe Noelle toessed away yesterday was put back on with Vanessa's magic.
"If your having trouble with magic I can give you a few tips, including with how do well on a date" said Vanessa smiling.
"I'll tell you all about my angelic little sister Marie" said Gauche.
"You got to try some of this first" said Charmy holding up a cupcake.
"Yah we should spar sometime too" said Luck. Meanwhile Gordon muttered and Grey blew smoke out. Finral thought of suggesting a place to go out when he thought Asta would probably have a few things to say about him talking to Noelle like that.
Noelle smiled as she was finally in a place people accepted her for who she is, she then looked to see Asta had put his headband back on and stretched out his hand to her, "Come on Noelle, will do this together" he said smiling.
Noelle looked up at him smiling with tears of joy in her eyes, "I'm looking forward to it, Asta" she said holding his hand. The two of them felt happy that they were now reunited as magic knights like they said would long ago. The sun shined over them as a rainbow formed in the distance.
