It's the morning at the black bulls hideout, Nero the anti bird was perched outside Astas window. Asta himself was waking up in his bed, his eyes slowly opened to see Noelle sitting next to his bed, "Hey" he said after fully opening his eyes.
Noelle seemed surpsied at first before she smiled at him with relief, "Good morning, looks like your finally awake" she said.
"Yeah, wait what do you mean finally awake" he asked sitting up when he suddenly looked like he was in pain? He looked to see there were bandages wrapped around his stomach.
"After you fell asleep you've been out for about a week" said Noelle.
"A week" Asta said looking surprised that he had fallen asleep for that long, "Wait, what about your injury" he asked?
"Mimosas spell did the trick, the only thing that needed repairing was my outfit" she said smiling which made the two of them laugh.
Asta then remembered what Noelle had said to him before they got back to headquarters after the dungeon, "You said you wanted to talk to me when we got back" he asked looking sirious.
"Oh right" said Noelle blushing, "Cmon just tell him already" she thought before grabbing his hands making him look confused, "I didn't have it easy growing up around my family Asta, there were few people like Mimosa who cared about me, I was frustrated that I even couldn't control my own magic" she said before smiling at him.
"Then I met you, you gave me hope and when I thought about the short time we were together when we were kids it made me so happy and felt like I wasn't alone" she said with tears of joy now coming out of her eyes, "Then we were reunited my feeling for you changed, Asta I like you" she said not blushing but smiled.
"I want to be with you Asta and I'm going to help you in your dream to become the wizard king" she said looking determined.
Asta then smiled as he held her hand back, "When I was on my way to the capital to join the Magic Knights so I could one day become the wizard king, that wasn't my only goal at the time" he said making her look surpsied since she knows it's his dream, " I was determined to find away to get back my memory's back and I'm so glad I did get them back because they brought me to you" he said smiling
"Noelle, I like you to and I'll be happy to be with you as I become the wizard king, because being him means not just protecting the people, it also means protecting the people I care about" he said looking determined.
"Asta" said Noelle smiling before she quickly got up from the chair she was sitting on and wrapped her arms around his neck and he smiled as he hugged her back. Then she looked him in the eyes smiling and slowly their lips met in their first kiss the two of them returned. Happy that they felt the same way towards each other.
Of course the fact that Asta was asleep for an entire week reminded the both of them when Astas stomach growled. The two of them stopped their kissing and laughed, "Get dressed and then will go get some breakfast" said Noelle smiling with a blush on her face as she left the room.
Asta smiled as he got out of bed to get dressed for the day. After walking out of the room to see Noelle waiting for him, the two of them walked to the black bulls dining hall and somewhere along the way they held hands.
Inside the dining hall, "So I really was asleep for a whole week huh" said Asta as he sat with other members of the black bulls which was Magna, Luck, Vanessa, Gauche, Gordon and Grey.
"Well I guess a stab wound in the stomach would do that to a man" said Magna.
"Poor Noelle checked on you so many times while you were out, I actually lost count" said Vanessa smiling while Noelle blushed.
"Well I appreciate it, thanks for looking after me Noelle" said Asta smiling.
"Well someone had to make sure you didn't fall out of your bed and get hert more" said Noelle.
"Actually I think she spent most nights looking out for you" said Luck who was sitting next to Asta.
"I also checked on you a few times" Gordon muttered silently.
"If you've been out for that long, your gonna need something to eat" said Charmy walking over as she carried a plate of food along with a bunch of sheep cooks doing the same thing.
"Oh man this is so good" said Asta stuffing the food into his mouth with a spoon before he looked like he was going to choke.
"Try not to eat to fast will you" said Noelle handing him a glass of water which he drank and he looked to be not choking anymore before he went back to stuffing his mouth as he ate.
"Here maybe something will help wash it down" said Vanessa holding up a bottle of what she was drinking.
"I don't think that will help" said Noelle.
"Hey Asta you think you'll be able to spar with me now" said Luck punching his fists forward.
"No I don't think I will be back to a hundred percent until my stomachs fully healed" said Asta rubbing the back of his head when one of the doors to dining hall was busted down revealing the captain of the black bulls Yami.
"Morning, looks like you didn't die after all kid" he said smiling as he sat down on one of the benches in the room.
"Good morning captain Yami sir" said Magna and Asta who still had food in his mouth.
"Now that your up, you and Noelle are to go to the magic Knight headquarters to make your report" said Yami, "But someone will have to go with you" he said.
"There most be some really strong people in the capital" thought Luck looking excited at the idea of going.
"Luck your not going" said Yami after noticing the look on his face, "I'm sending you and Magna out on a battle mission".
"Oh a battle mission, let's do our best together Magna" said Luck.
"What, where's this attitude coming from are you actually Grey in disguise" said Magna looking surprised before the actual Grey blew out smoke in response to what he said, "Alright I got it".
"Sir if I may, I would like to go see my little sister Marie" asked Gauche?
"Nope you got work to do" said Yami making Gauches face fall in dissapointment.
"Sir I could go with them" said Charmy smiling while being excited about what kind of food would be served in the capital.
"Why would I send you, all you do is sit around and eat" said Yami making Charmy look shocked as she began to run away sadly before she left the room skipping happily.
"Shouldn't we send a letter to Rosa to let her know Astas up" said Vanessa.
"She has business in the capital, she probably might hear about him being there given how loud the kid is" said Yami getting up to leave the room, "I need a nap" he said.
Finral made a magic portal for Asta and Noelle to the capital. The two of them were then standing not to far away from the castle, "Whoa I forgot how big this place really is" said Asta excitedly.
"Try to keep it down would you Asta, we're suppose to be Magic Knights on our way to make our report" said Noelle as the two of them walked forward, "Its just the two of us, though even with his constant shouting it's still nice this way" she thought while smiling when Asta waved ahead to the three people ahead of them.
"Hey looks it's the golden dawn" he said as Yuno, Mimosa and Klaus turned aorund to look at them.
"Uh Asta, Noelle I suppose you're here to make your report aswell" said Klaus walking over to them, "Are your injury's all better Asta" he asked?
"Yeah I'm all good" said Asta smiling, "Hey Mimosa" he said waving at Mimosa who looked surprised before she quickly turned around and walked a few steps away from them.
"Huh did I do something wrong" said Asta as Noelle walked over to check on her cousin.
"She was probably shocked at how shorter your arm was then she expected it to be" said Yuno making Asta look annoyed.
"Hey do you think your calling short" Asta said looking annoyed.
"There's also the fact you act like a kid" said Yuno calmly before Asta rushed at him and he held him back with just one hand.
"Who are you calling a kid you jerk" he said as Yuno had a calm look on his face as he held him back.
"Mimosa is there something wrong" said Noelle.
"Oh I just can't help it" said Mimosa with her hands on her cheeks as she blushed, "It's just every time I see Asta now, I have this feeling in my chest".
"Wait Mimosa please don't tell me you've fallen for him" said Noelle looking worried for what she might have to tell her cousin.
"Oh I just can't help it, that personality of his is so charming" said Mimosa smiling as she shook her head before she saw Noelle looked down, "Hey what is it".
"Mimosa, Astas together with me, we told each other how we felt this morning and we even had our first kiss" said Noelle while Mimosa looked shocked before she looked down.
"I see, I guess really shouldn't be surpsied after you kissed him on the cheek after the dungeon" said Mimosa.
"Mimosa I'm sure there's someone out there for you" said Noelle trying to make her feel better before she smiled thinking of something, "Last time I checked Yuno doesn't seem to be with someone".
"Wait really" said Mimosa looking up and started looking at Yuno.
The five of the together walked to the Magic Knights headquarters, "If im correct Magic Knights headquarters should be here" said Klaus as they stood in front of an archway.
"You really don't know your way around here much to do you four eyes" said Asta calmly.
"Well we four eyes can't know everything" said Klaus pushing up his glasses.
"I guess he got used to his new nickname" thought Yuno looking calm when Klaus looked surpsied to see someone standing in the archway.
"Uh, forgive me sir we didn't know you would be here" said Klaus getting one knee like Mimosa and Noelle as they bowed their heads.
"Wait who's this flashy guy" said Asta pointing at the two medals on the mans cloak.
"Don't be disrespectful" said Klaus bringing Asta down, "This is the current wizard king, Julius Nakrono" he said making Asta and Yuno look surprised. Yuno then bowed aswell.
"So this is the wizard king" Asta and Yuno thought.
The wizard king led them to a tower that had an opening at the top that showed the entire area around them. The wizard king was currently looking at the new writing that had appeared in Yunos grimoire, "Ah Yes this is very good, you did a good job getting this and I'll say this must have been the dungeons most powerful relic" he said smiling.
"You can read it sir" asked Yuno?
"Well I get the basics of it" said Julius before he went looking into the grimoire again, "The spirit of wind Sylph, so he's the one she's chosen for this era" he thought before looking excited.
"I see, so the rumours about the wizard king being a magic geek we're true" thought Klaus pushing up his glasses as he noticed the look on the wizard kings face.
"You think you can show me this spell, please" said Julius looking excited.
"I'm sorry sir, but I haven't been able to actually use it since I left the dungeon" said Yuno.
"Oh I see, that's to bad" he said looking dissapointed, "Well make sure to learn more about this power and I'm sure it will aid you more in the future" he said passing Yuno back his grimoire.
"Wizard king sir, some new writing appeared in my grimoire too" said Asta rushing forward holding his grimoire open.
"Don't be so pushy" said Klaus when Julius helped up his hand meaning it was alright.
"Well this looks like" he said looking at the writing closely.
"Yes" said Asta looking excited.
"Something I cannot read" Julius said making Astas head fall.
Asta then removed his new anti magic sword from his grimoire, "And this comes out, what do you think of this sir" he said.
"Amazing, a second anti magic sword" said Julius looking impressed.
"Huh, mines working just fine" said Asta smiling back at Yuno.
"The power of anti magic, you think I can" asked Julius looking excited?
"Sure sir" said Asta holding out his anti magic sword.
"Thank you and Whoa man" said Julius and when he grabbed the sword the blade instantly hit the ground surprising him from how heavy it was.
"Are you alright sir" said Asta.
"I'm surprised you can even lift this thing" said Julius looking impressed until he felt his magic power being drained into the sword, "I see, it's draining my magic power" he thought before handing the sword back to Asta, "It seems without having no magic you are the only person able to use this power".
"Uh sir if you don't mind me asking" said Asta, "What does it take to become the wizard king" both he and Yuno said after Yuno realized what Asta was going to ask.
"You two shouldn't be asking him that, the wizard king must always have a noble heart and the respect of the peo" Klaus said but he was interrupted by Julius.
"Your wrong Klaus, so you two are interested in becoming the wizard king" said Julius looking at Asta and Yuno, "It takes results" he said making them look surprised and they looked up to see he had a sirious look on his face.
"Show that you get things done and that you're strong, and as for the people show them what you can do, you want to become the wizard king your going to have to show the results of what you can do" he said. Asta and Yuno nodded looking determined.
"Now we're hosting an award ceremony for those who've earned stars, I would very much like it if you would attend it" said Julius as he lead them out of the tower and into the Magic Knights headquarters. They were walking down a hallway where Magic Knights in green rhobes lined against each wall.
"Just what are we doing here" thought Noelle looking around.
"What does the wizard king hope to show us by bringing us here" thought Klaus as he pushed up his glasses when they reached the end of the hallway to stand in front of two large doors.
"You want to show me results, then can you prove to be better then the ones in here" said Julius as he opened the door to reveal an open room with multiple Magic Knights. There were three members of the golden dawn. The captain of the silver eagles along with two members of the silver eagles who also had silver hair. The captain of the blue rose knights and one member from her squad. The captain of the crimson lions and someone with the same hair colour as him from his own squad.
The award cermenony was for the magic knights accept for the captains. The young man from the crimes lions tuned about to be the captains younger brother Leopold. The woman that came with Charlotte was named Sol. The two members of the silver eagles were Solid and Nebra. The awards were meddles along with new ranks and the wizard king gave them each a comment about how they done their work.
After the awards cermenony a man with short blue hair walked up to the wizard king and whispered something in his ear, "I see" he said, "Excuese me everyone it seems there's an important matter I must attend to, some food has been prepared for you and I've invited some people to attend" he said getting the magics knights attention for them to look back at Asta, Noelle, Klaus, Yuno and Mimosa who had been waiting at the door, "Please make sure to get along with each other" he said before leaving the room.
The magic kngiths were all brought into a large room where there were tables filled with food, "What was the wizard king thinking with bringing us here" said Klaus looking annoyed as there was complete silence the room accept for Asta who was eating.
"Oh man this is so good" said Asta excitedly as he ate.
"What was the wizard king bringing a commoner here, he sticks out a like rat would on the throne room" said Nebra smirking.
"It really is ridiculous isn't it" said a member of the golden dawn laughing.
"Asta do you mind if I join you" said Mimosa walking over to the table where he, Noelle, Yuno and Klaus were standing at, "I may not be able to be with him but I can still be his friend and cheer on Noelle" she thought.
"Sure Mimosa, you want to eat some of this too right" said Asta.
"If he really did make it through the dungeon it must have been by pure luck" said Aleedora who's a member of the golden dawn.
"Hey let's not forget you golden dawn have a commoner in your ranks too with that four leaf clover grimoire of his" said Leopold smirking.
"Ridiculous, It is the nobles in the golden dawn who carry the heart of our squad" said Aleedora.
"Well despite of what happenned we did complete our mission" said Klaus.
"Klaus I heard you were injured by the enemy, were supposed to be elite and you let the enemy hit you" said Aleedora before looking at Mimosa, "And Mimosa I heard you were inured early in the battle, I wonder what the other memebers of house Vermillion must think" he said making Mimosa look down.
"Now now Aleedora, I think we both know who the real here failure is" said Solid smirking as he walked over to Noelle who didn't notice him until he emptied his water glass at the top of her head.
"How could you, to your own sister" said Klaus looking annoyed.
"Why Solid" said Noelle looking shocked.
"You were as good as banished from house Silva and yet you return here after you succeed in a mission" said Nebra.
"Nebra, but I was invited here" said Noelle looking nervous.
"There's no palace for someone like you here, you should leave here now, wasn't killing our mother enough" said Nozel. Noelle had a sad look on her face as she turned around and started walking away.
Yuno heard a plate being slammed into the table and looked to see Asta was no longer standing in the same place he was. Noelle felt a hand grab her right wrist and she looked to see her boyfriend glaring at the her siblings.
"You don't have to walk away from here Noelle" said Asta siriously.
"Asta" said Noelle before he jumped onto one of the tables.
"It's always the same from people like you" said Asta looking at Nozel, Solid and Nebra, "Commoner, rat, I've heard it all already and I'm here to prove you all wrong" he said but before he could say another word sand surrounded him.
"That's enough from you, you little rat" said Aleedora anglrily as his grimoire flew in front of him. But he was then surprised when his sand was destroyed by Astas small anti magic sword.
"I'm here to become the wizard king" said Asta pointing his anti magic sword forward making the room go silent.
"Not a chance" said Yuno smirking.
"Boys sure are loud are loud aren't they Char" said Sol as she ate from a plate.
"Call me captain Sol" said Charloette.
Solid and Nebra then began to laugh, "How ridiculous" they both said as their grimoires opened.
"Water binding magic, sea serpent coil" said Solid as a water snake appeared and started going towards Asta who destroyed the spell with ease surprising the silver eagles member.
"Mist binding magic" said Nebra as a fog shot towards Asta who easily destroyed that spell aswell.
"Your going to apologize to Noelle for what you said to her" he said pointing his anti magic sword at Solid and Nebra when a giant sand knight grabbed him, trapping him in its arms.
"Sand creating magic, sand knight" said Aleedora, "We can't have you running around like that" he said.
"Now now, a commoner should know his place, so his lesson should be beaten into him" said Solid as his grimoire turned pages and a water bullet started forming in front of him.
"Please Solid don't do this" said Noelle looking concerned.
"Water creation magic, holy water bullet" said Solid as the water bullet shot towards Asta as he thought back Solid said about Noelle. His grimoire opened and he took out his big anti magic sword. The water bullet hit the flat side of the sword sending back at Solid and hitting him. Asta then cut through the sand knight destroying the spell.
"You brought me to my knees, how dare" Solid began to say when Asta quickly ran up to him and hit him in the stomach with his big anti magic sword that is now in his right hand while the small one in his left hand. The stirke sent Solid flying into the rooms wall surprising the younger Magic kngiths.
"You struck me, how dare you" said Solid getting back up as his grimoire changed pages, Asta readied his swords when a massive pressure in the the room started. The two of them looked to see Nozel with a blue aura surrounding him.
"That's enough from you Solid, you shouldn't be using your magic against a commoner" said Nozel as he approached the two of them.
"But Nozel" said Solid looking surprised.
Asta turned to look at Nozel, "This pressure is like captain Yamis from the entrance exam" thought Asta looking sirious, before his loooked turned to anger as he remembered what Nozel said to Noelle.
Nozel was then surprised when Asta was able to lift up his big anti magic sword like the pressure didn't have any effect and pointed it directly at him, "Your supposed to be her brother and you said that to her" he said.
"It doesn't concern you, now what kind of magic should I use against you" said Nozel bringing up his right hand.
"Please this has gone on far enough" said Klaus as he then noticed Noelle walk over to Asta and stand right next to him. She then pointed her wand at Nozel.
"I've said that's enough, you will not be herting him" said Noelle looking determined, "Because I'm gonna make sure he becomes the wizard king".
"The black bull girl is right, this has gone on long enough" said Feugoleon and the pressure in the room stopped as the captain of the crimson lions stood in front of the captain of the silver eagles, "The wizard king Invited the boy here himself, he has a much right to be here as the rest of us".
"Man that was impressive, how you were able to stand up against a magic knight captain like that" said Leopold walking over to Asta smiling, "My names Leopold Vermillion and from this day forward you are my rival" he said making Asta look surpsied.
"Are you two related" asked Yuno looking at Mimosa?
"Yes through my fathers side" said Mimosa.
"But I've already got a rival" said Asta.
"You can have more then one, it looks like your strong so why don't we have an arm wrestling match" said Leopold looking excited.
"Talking with a commoner, I wonder just how far house Vermillion will fall" said Nozel.
"Be careful with what you say Nozel" said Feugoleon as the room began to shake and some of the glass on the windows began to crack. A lion made of fire appeared behind Feugoleon while a silver eagle appeared behind Nozel and the two animals made out of Magic seemed to grow bigger as time went by.
"Are they really putting mana against mana" said Klaus looking surpsied.
"They're getting sirious now huh Char, shouldn't we be putting an end to it now" said Sol still eating.
"No let the boys have out their little rivalry, and call me captain Sol" said Charlotte.
Then the door to the room burst open and a magic knight wearing a green cloak stood at the entrance, "Everyone the capitals under attack" the magic knight said, the silver eagle and flaming lion vanished as their casters looked back at the magic knight that had just arrived.
"What do you mean under attack" asked Feugoleon?
Out in the capital there were fires all around the city. The people were being attacked by what looked like walking corpses, the man responsible for the attack was standing on top of a buildings roof laughing, "This is what you all get for looking down on me, I'll show you that my magic is superior" he said smiling. He was wearing a cloak that loooked like it had seen better days and a headband. Part of the headband went over his left eyes and where his eye should be, was the symbol of an eye.
The man then noticed the capitals magic knights destroying some of his corpses. He jumped down from the roof and placed his hands on the ground where more corpses started to appear. The number of them completely overwelmed the magic knights and the man started laughing again, "Come stop me if you can, Magic knights" he said.
Meanwhile back with the magic kngith captains, "What do you mean the capital is under attack" asked Feugoleon again?
"Let me, stone creation magic, stone replica" said a member of the golden dawn and a stone replica of the entire city grew out from the ground. The city even showed some of the fires.
"Impressive, he's made an exact look a like of the capital, even with the fires and the people" said Klaus.
"This is far superior versions to how my magic flower guide posts works" said Mimosa looking impressed.
"How are they able to attack multiple multiple locations at the same time, the only way for that to be possible" said Nozel.
"There must be a spacial magic user with them" said Feugoleon, "This normally wouldn't be possible since a magic bairrier usually surrounds the city preventing sich a thing from happenning, something must have happened" he thought looking sirious.
"What are we all standing around here for" said Asta looking annoyed as he started running toward the exit.
"Asta where are you going" asked Noelle?
"I'm going to where the screamings coming from and save people" said Asta looking determined.
"This is the perfect chance to see my rival in action, Wait up Asta" said Leopold as he began to chase Asta.
"Leo, I'm gonna have to talk with him after all this is over" said Feugoleon as his Grimoire opened and a big flame lion appeared beneath him and lifted him up, "Me and the black bull girl will go after black bull boy and Leo" he said as helped Noelle onto the flaming lion.
"Silver eagles you take the centre area where the enemy is mostly located" said Feugoleon as he started giving instructions, "Blur rose kngiths you take the east" he said.
"Understood" said Charlotte as Sol created an earth golem for them.
"Golden dawn split into two groups, one north west and the other west" he said as Yuno, Mimosa and Aleedora got on a wind cloud. While Klaus took the remaining the remaining golden dawn members with him in a magic vehicle he created with his own magic. "Remember failure today will bring disgrace to the magic knights, so win" he said looking determined.
"Got it" they all said before they all left the room. Then from under one of the tables Charmy walked out.
"Huh, where did everyone go, I snuck in with Asta and Noelle to get some of the food but now it looks like something is happenning" she said before standing up, "Looks like its time for me to make my great Charmy entrance" she said rubbing her nose when a smell came from a door that didn't lead to the exit.
"Well I guess I shouldn't fight on an empty stomach" said Charmy excitedly as she followed to where the smell was coming from.
Out in the capital the Magic knights had made their move. The silver eagles appeared and saved some civilians after destroying the corpses that were attacking them. With Yuno, Mimosa and Aleedora, "Filthy monsters, we will stop you" said Aleedora as a giant sand knight appeared from the ground destroying the enemy.
"These things aren't alive" thought Yuno looking sirious as he send out multiple wind tornados destroying the corpses.
Up in the air Feugoleon and Noelle we're flying on the flaming lion, "Just who could have done something like this" said Noelle looking worried, "Please be safe out there Asta" she thought looking worried.
Over with the man who was responsible for the corpses, he was standing in front of a little girl who was crying as two of his corpses stood at both of his sides, "Tell me little girl, do you like living in the clover kingdom" he asked?
"Yes I like it here, so please don't destroy it" said little girl while crying.
"Well I hate it here so I'm going to destroy it all " said the enemy mage laughing as one his corpses started moving closer to the girl. But as this happened multiples corpses behind him had their heads being destroyed as someone quickly destroyed them as they got closer to the enemy mage. Then when he turned around it was revealed the one destroying the corpses was Asta who had his big anti magic sword ready to swing at the enemy mage.
"I'm going to protect these people" said Asta looking determined to protect the people of the capital from the enemy who was attacking them.
