Author's Note: I posted a poll on my profile for something that could happen in Chapter 05

Nero sighed upon leaving Noelle standing outside of his room. She thought again about why and how this could have happened. There was nothing she knew that should have been able to make something like this possible not now or even five hundred years ago.
"So that where Noelle is," Asta said all of sudden
Shocking Nero as she was curious as to why he was looking for her.
"I thought she would have been out coming to get me or something" he replied
"I offered to go instead of her. So does that mean you got everyone else back inside then?" she asked.
"Yeah but I wonder why Noelle is here," he said before dropping it tell Nero something else
Which she was waiting for since he might notice something she could have overlooked herself.
"I want to see if you can do something, so let go to Charmy-sempai," he said.
Nero than realized that it was probably a good idea if it worked. Sure Asta could not benefit from eating Charmy's food beyond obvious reasons. She could have a constant stream of mana restoration if she needed to burn through hers at a rapid rate.
The cotton magic user was in the kitchen, as usual, making some food possibly to serve as lunch for everyone. Though it seemed she was finished and had some dishes she was carrying when she turned o stone but the other plates had crashed to the floor.
Seeing this both Nero and Asta quickly cleared up the food and moved to her to the table. Taking her dishes and placing them down.
"The last thing we need is for her to lost it overseeing food having been wasted," Nero said
"She can be enough to deal with a captain if pushed in that state," he said recalling how she unlocked her second magic, food magic while fighting with Lira(the elf that was reincarnated as Rill).
The two just stood there for a moment not really moving.
"So you are not going to try using that reversal spell you used the First Wizard King" Asta asked.
He then explain that if this was petrifaction magic that could not she use her own version of it to attempt at undoing it. They had already tried using his anti-magic sword before on the Vanessa statue. However, Nero had managed to counter the magic used once before. Thus what if her Sealing Magic was the needed counter this time around.
Nero after attempting trying stumbled back visibly shocked at something she apparently realized after what was a failed try to restore Charmy.
"I see this ended up in failure as well," Asta said.
"I did not fail and neither did you, Asta," she told him.
How could that be possible the two of them must have failed as if they did not that that meant….that meant….
"There was nothing to unlock or undo," she said.
The two realized that the magic used did not merely turn everyone to stone as than either of their magic should have been able to undo it. Asta's anti-magic through just removing the magic itself while Nero's would have unlocked it.
Instead, it was a reality altering magic that rather than turning everyone to stone altered reality itself making as if they were always statues. Thus there was nothing to undo or unlock in that case as this was their normal state now.
Nero looked at herself and wondered just how powerful it was that spell that it altered reality itself and just how truly lucky she was. What if it was not just Asta using the Demon Destroying Sword alone that undid the magic.
"Do not even think about"
She looked up to see Asta patting her shoulders
"You are thinking about what if you incorporated this magic into yourself. Giving yourself a third form as a side effect" Asta told her.
As even if she did now have a third form there was no telling what it would be like or even if she can shift in and out of it at will. The last time she was trapped in her anti-bird form for over five hundred years.
