Asta sweeped the floor of the dining hall, reminiscing about his last month with the Black Bulls. Everything had gone by so quickly. Meeting all the black bulls and becoming part of the group. It was a dream come true! Though there was a long way to go before he could truly call himself a black bull. He had to prove himself to the rest of the squad, and initiation wasn't enough to do that. Asta hit his head while attempting to think of something.
"Come on brain! Help me out here!" Asta complained quietly to himself. Then the idea hit him. He knew the perfect way.
"A group trip! Come on, isn't it a great idea?" Asta exclaimed, staring at all the Black Bulls who were gathered around the table.
"A group trip? With this guy?" Magna clenched his teeth while pointing his thumb over his shoulder at Luck.
"Aww Magna are you scared?" Luck poked at the fire mage.
"Scared? Are you kidding me?!" Magna's voice grew higher as the sentence went on. The two continued to bicker as Vanessa started screaming.
"I LOVE TRIPS! Where are we going?! Will there be drinks?" She loudly proclaimed while slurring her words. Her pink hair was frizzy from passing out on the couch the night earlier and by the looks of it she seems to have been drinking since she woke up.
Charmy sprinted towards Asta and grabbed him by the face, "Food! Will there be any delicious food?!" Charmy squealed and started drooling just from the thought.
"Uhh, yeah there will be. The thing is we just have to figure out where we'd want to go. I just thought bringing up the idea was a good start." Asta scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously.
Finral walked up to Charmy and Asta, interrupting their conversation. "Lucky for you guys I know the perfect place for a getaway. Every girl I've brought there has loved it! It's a cabin I used to visit when I was a kid, though my family stopped going so I'm sure it'll be empty."
"This is perfect!" Asta cheered as he had finally gotten a place figured out for the squad trip.
"What's with all the ruckus down here?" A deep voice boomed throughout the hideout and a 6 foot shadow stepped into the main area. The 6 foot man walked in with his white undershirt on, clinging tightly to his six pack and built chest. He sported a pair of brown pants and black boots that stopped right below his knees.
"Captain Yami sir! I was thinking it would be a nice idea for the squad to take a group trip together!" Asta stuttered along with his words. Seeing the captain in front of him always made him nervous, possibly because he stood almost a foot taller than himself. Asta had always admired the magic knights, especially the captains, because they were the strongest of them all. Though there was something different about Yami that Asta felt drawn to, he couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it was there.
"A group trip, huh?" The words snapped Asta from his thoughts. "I think that's a great idea!" Yami's chuckle echoed loudly throughout the hideout. "I'm ready to go right now!"
"Right now?!" Asta suddenly felt scattered from the fast turn of events. "Don't you need to pack?!"
"I've got everything I need right here." Yami patted his grimoire and katana at his side. "Finral! I expect you'll be using your magic to get us there?"
"Of course!" Finral fixed his posture and pulled out his grimoire, opening a portal for the squad. Asta sighed at the dimensional magic Finral had just used. No more time to waste. The squad trip begins now!
