"You were very handsome just now, little brother." Vanessa threw herself into Asta's arms and said in a seductive voice. Originally, she had wanted to stop when she was one centimeter away to maximize the teasing of being coy and playing hard to get, but she hadn't expected that being drunk would make her distance control not so precise, so she had crashed directly into Asta's arms.
"Hehe, so passionate, Big Sister Vanessa." Asta hugged Vanessa without any hesitation, which caused Vanessa to roll her eyes at him with a coy pout before she broke free.
"Hey, hey, that sword of yours just now was really cool. Let's have a fight!" Although Luck learned that Asta had no magic power, he was still very interested in Asta's Taijutsu, especially that heavy sword he pulled out from his grimoire. Luck thought it was very stylish!
"Let's talk about that later." Asta said with a perfunctory smile. He didn't have the patience to accompany a battle maniac.
"Do you want to eat a piece of dessert!" Charmy approached Asta holding a super delicious piece of dessert, but although she said it was a piece, in the next second it had become half...
"Uh, I don't like sweets." Asta couldn't help but smile as he looked at the gluttonous Charmy.
"What a pity!" Charmy looked regretful, but drool was already flowing from the corner of her mouth, and the dessert in her hand instantly vanished.
"Alright, alright, let's quickly get to the serious business!" Finral clapped his hands, stopping the enthusiastic actions of Vanessa and the others.
Magna immediately pulled out the Black Bulls uniform that belonged to Asta. "This is yours now, cherish it!"
"Put it on and try it!" Vanessa waved the magic wand in her hand, and a gentle force pushed the black uniform onto Asta.
"You've really upgraded from a slingshot to a cannon. Wearing these clothes makes you look not quite so much like a bumpkin!" Magna sighed with emotion.
"Bumpkin? I'll leave those chores to you, Magna!" Asta said with a sneer. Daring to mock him? He really didn't know how many eyes the Horse King had!
"..." Magna was subdued by Asta in one move, and he slumped down with resentment. Thinking of those chores, his heart was bitter!
"Haha!" Everyone was amused by this. They found that ever since Asta arrived, the atmosphere in the squad had become even more harmonious.
At this moment, on the terrace of the castle, a pair of pink, beautiful eyes were staring intently at Asta. "Is this the other new recruit? He actually defeated the previous year's squad member."
The pink-eyed girl first looked at Asta in astonishment, then switched to an arrogant expression. "One can only say that that hooligan was also too weak to withstand a single blow." After saying this, the pink-eyed girl left the terrace.
"Magna, I'll leave the new recruit to you for these next few days. Make sure he gets familiar with this place as soon as possible." Yami yawned. The all-night gambling session yesterday had left him feeling low-energy even now, and he needed a good rest.
"No problem, Captain Yami!" Magna acted as if he had received some holy mission, respectfully sending Yami off with a serious face before turning back to hook his arm around Asta's neck.
"Say, what did you grow up eating, kid? Why is your body so hard!" Magna said, patting Asta's chest muscles.
"Yeah, when I bumped into you just now, it was hard as a wall!" Vanessa couldn't help but chime in.
"Actually, there's another place that's even harder, Big Sister Vanessa!" Asta said with a shy smile as he looked at Vanessa.
"Go to hell! Are you wanting to do some wonderful things with Big Sister?" Vanessa looked at Asta with amusement. Was she being teased by a minor?!
Everyone frolicked for a while longer, and it wasn't until late at night that Magna led Asta through many twists and turns to a narrow, small, and dirty room.
"Asta, you have to cherish this room. This is the room where the youngest in the squad lives. By the way, my room is twice as big as this!" Magna said triumphantly, thinking that he had finally managed to get one back!
"Oh." Asta responded indifferently. He naturally wouldn't fuss over Magna's petty desire to compare. "Let's go, let's go. We still have chores to do tomorrow. Get some sleep early!"
"Cho—chores—" Magna's triumphant expression instantly froze, and then a wave of resentment pressed down from above. "I still have to do chores..." He really regretted betting against Asta now.
"Little punk!" Asta closed the bedroom door. This bedroom was a bit small, but it would do for sleeping.
Throughout this day, he had opened the Eight Gates several times. Although he hadn't exceeded his limit, his body was already very tired. It seemed he would have to increase his training tomorrow; otherwise, if he was this exhausted just from dealing with a bottom-tier Mage, how would he contend with those top-tier Mages in the future?
The next day, before dawn, Magna came to harass Asta.
"Although I have to do the chores, I can't let that kid get off easy. I'll just wake him up under the guise of showing him around!" Magna kicked open Asta's door with a wicked grin, but he was dumbfounded the next moment, because apart from the neatly folded bedding, there wasn't a shadow of a person in the room!
"Where did this guy go so early in the morning!" Magna said in disbelief. One had to know that it wasn't even dawn yet!
It's 8 o'clock, updated early. I'm sleepy, going to sleep first.
