"I have observed that your magic does not originate from a grimoire. In theory, this kind of power can be taught to others."
Cedric paused.
So that is how it works. Noelle and Rebecca also learned techniques like that, but they were adapted into magic by this world.
Then… could I teach Asta something like that?
"I am the Blue Beast of the Black Bulls, Asta." Cedric smirked slightly. That actually sounds interesting.
"Wizard King, I will demonstrate it for you."
Cedric traced a clover-shaped pattern in the air. The Wizard King watched with sparkling eyes.
"Incredible. What a unique form of magic."
"Did you understand it?"
"I did not. Cedric, could you leave one on me?"
Looking at his overly curious superior, Cedric reached out and left a small mark near his collarbone.
"Alright, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
So this is how it feels. Now I will have to study it myself.
Cedric suddenly appeared behind Noelle.
"Why are you here, my princess?"
"Stop that. Do you not feel how strange the atmosphere is here?"
Inside the tavern, the mood was tense. Nearly all the Magic Knight captains were present, except for the new captain of the Crimson Lion Kings. Yami Sukehiro, dressed in a blue haori, was openly provoking the others.
"Ahahaha. Captains, how does it feel to be suppressed by the so-called worst squad? Hey, Lord Noble, did you spend hours fixing your hair today? Or did your servants do it for you?"
Yami casually rested his hand on Nozel Silva's shoulder, laughing while smoking.
That damn foreigner is mocking my hair again.
"What is wrong, Lord Noble? Why so quiet?"
"Yami..."
Nozel stood up, silver magic power surging violently as his grimoire floated beside him.
"My lord, please do not fight here. This drink is on the house."
The bartender pushed a glass of cloudy white liquid toward him.
Nozel paused, then took a sip.
A strange calm spread through his body.
Why am I even bothering with someone like him?
Seeing Nozel sit back down peacefully, Yami blinked in confusion.
That noble actually did not attack.
"Keh, long-limbed freak, your squad did not do so well either."
"Yami, do you want to be cut?" Jack the Ripper licked his blade-like arm.
"Sir, your drink."
Another glass was placed in front of Jack.
"Do not think a single drink will settle this. If I destroy anything, I will pay for it."
He swallowed it in one go.
For some reason, his urge to fight disappeared.
"...Forget it. I will let it go this time."
Yami raised an eyebrow.
What the hell is in this drink?
"Boss, give me one too."
He drank it down as well.
His mood instantly relaxed.
"Not bad. I like it."
Suddenly, the tavern door cracked.
A massive flaming hand burst through, carrying two struggling figures.
"Aaaaaah, Captain, save us!"
Asta and Yuno.
Mereoleona Vermillion stepped in, her presence overwhelming the entire room.
"Perfect. You are here too. As a captain, you are already slacking after one decent result? Pathetic. You are joining the special training."
She grabbed Yami by the head and dragged Charlotte Roselei along as well.
"Mr. Cedric, we should leave now."
"Where do you think you two little mice are going?"
A blazing hand reached toward Cedric and Noelle.
Cedric narrowed his eyes, pulling Noelle closer by the waist.
"Do not get any closer."
Mereoleona grinned.
"Good spirit. You are coming too."
Moments later, she left, carrying everyone like captured prey.
Intense Magic Region: Ultime Volcano
"Listen carefully. For the sake of my foolish brother, show me the pride of the Crimson Lion Kings. Today, we conquer this mountain. Our goal is the summit."
Mereoleona raised her fist, but the squad members below looked exhausted already.
That crazy lioness. I am a captain, yet she still drags me here like this.
"Yami, Charlotte, you two go first."
"I have a reputation to maintain. I am not doing that." Yami refused immediately.
"What did you say?"
Fire Magic: Calidus Brachium.
She struck without hesitation.
So fast.
Yami immediately drew his katana to block.
Damn woman.
"Fine. I will go."
Beside him, Charlotte also moved.
The two captains shot forward like lightning, effortlessly navigating the magma and falling rocks.
"Incredible. That is Mana Skin."
"To control it so precisely in such an environment…"
"So cool. I am going too." Asta jumped forward without hesitation.
The intense heat hit him instantly.
This is unbearable. My whole body feels like it is burning.
Mana Skin… I do not even have mana.
Then I will just push through.
Wind gathered beneath Yuno's feet as he followed calmly, quickly pulling ahead.
"Asta, I will wait for you at the top."
"Do not get ahead of yourself."
Leopold Vermillion leaped forward as well.
"My rival, Asta. Let us climb together."
Flames erupted around him before stabilizing into a controlled layer.
"I did it. I am going ahead."
Inspired, the other Crimson Lion members began advancing.
Mereoleona appeared beside Asta, who had slowed down.
"Someone who does not understand their limits will achieve nothing. If you cannot even handle this, you will never become the Wizard King."
She walked past him effortlessly.
Asta clenched his teeth.
Wizard King.
That is my dream.
His blood surged, and a dark, ominous power began to leak from his body.
