Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: The Semifinals End

"Team B wins."

The unconscious Langris Vaude was immediately transported back to the capital.

"Are you okay, Asta?" Mimosa Vermillion asked as she used healing magic.

Asta's body was covered in blood from the high-speed charge.

"I'm fine. I'm doing great. Thanks, Mimosa."

Mimosa pressed her hands against his abdomen, channeling magic.

His body is so firm... how is someone this small built like this?

Her face turned red.

"Mimosa, your face is really red. Are you feeling sick?"

She stiffened instantly.

It's your fault for being built like this...

After stopping the bleeding, Asta returned to the platform and raised a thumb toward Yuno.

"Yuno, see you in the finals."

"See you there, Asta. You've gotten stronger."

"Team I versus Team K. Prepare yourselves."

Rill Boismortier held his brush, sensing the mana around him.

It was condensing, sharpening.

His inspiration surged.

Having seen Rill's abilities, Luck's team decided to strike first with overwhelming speed.

They needed to end the fight before he could paint.

Such overwhelming mana...

Cold sweat formed on the brows of the opposing team.

"Combined Magic: Lightning Arrow of Judgment."

All three combined their mana into a single attack.

A thunderous arrow tore through the air.

On the platform, Julius Novachrono leaned forward.

"A highly refined combination spell. Let's see how Rill responds."

White paint gathered behind Rill, forming a humanoid figure.

Painting Magic: God's Play

The figure caught the lightning arrow with one hand, spun, and hurled it back.

The reflected attack struck even faster.

It pierced through the enemy magic crystal instantly.

The three opponents stood frozen.

Even Klaus Lunettes nearly collapsed from shock.

"Defeated in one move... is this the power of a Captain?"

Julius's eyes shone with excitement.

He had never seen magic like this before.

"Second round, fourth match: Team M versus Team P."

The match began.

Yuno immediately soared into the air, looking down at his opponents.

Without hesitation, he charged alone.

Noelle stared at him in disbelief.

Does he even understand teamwork?

Rill was drawn away by Yuno.

The remaining two opponents decided to unleash their strongest attacks.

Ice Magic: Ice Needles

Sandstone Magic: Stone Cones

"Leave the Ice Magic to me."

En Ringard summoned a giant mushroom.

It was instantly pierced through.

"My mushroom..."

Water surged forward.

Water Magic: Sea Dragon's Lair

The incoming attacks were blocked.

So strong...

Then we must defend as well.

Ice and stone barriers formed around the two enemies.

Water Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar

The attack shattered their defenses completely, leaving them unable to continue.

Noelle Silva lowered her wand, her lips curling slightly.

Meanwhile—

Yuno struggled against Rill.

Every attack he launched was countered.

Only his speed allowed him to keep up.

"As expected of the Golden Dawn's prodigy," Rill said calmly. "But you're not enough to inspire my masterpiece."

Yuno narrowed his eyes.

Then I'll use everything I have.

Wind Magic: Spirit Storm

Wind mana gathered intensely around him, compressing into a single point.

It began absorbing natural mana, growing rapidly.

Rill's eyes lit up.

"Incredible. My inspiration is overflowing."

He painted rapidly.

Painting Magic: Roar of the Phantom Dragon

A massive dragon formed and devoured Yuno's attack.

It surged toward him.

My strongest attack... completely overwhelmed.

As the magic closed in, Yuno felt death approaching.

So this is the end...

Asta... I couldn't keep my promise.

On the platform, Augustus Kira Clover XIII smirked.

Anyone who offends me deserves this.

Suddenly—

Water Magic: Sea Dragon's Roar

Water Magic: Sea Dragon's Lair

A massive water dragon collided with the attack.

A blinding light filled the battlefield.

When it faded, Yuno stood unharmed.

"So powerful. I have inspiration again," Rill said, raising his brush.

Then—

A cracking sound echoed.

The magic crystal behind him shattered.

"Winner: Team P."

"What just happened?"

Julius spoke calmly.

"The collision of both attacks produced too much mana. The crystal couldn't withstand it and was destroyed."

The audience was stunned.

Rill was one thing...

But that girl from the Black Bulls...

Is she a monster?

Back on the platform, Rill began to complain.

"My masterpiece was just about to be completed."

His butler handed him a handkerchief.

"Master Rill, in my eyes, you did not lose."

"Really? Then I didn't lose."

"In thirty minutes, the final match for the Royal Knights selection will begin."

"Yuno..."

"I'm here, Asta."

They stepped toward each other.

Fists met.

Both smiled slightly.

Their eyes burned with determination.

The final battle was about to begin.
