Black Clover Trivia #5: Noelle is the worst chef in the series.


Finral gaped in shock at the sight before him. He had barged in to ask Magna if he'd like to go on a double date with him since his date's sister was into the delinquent type from what he gathered. What he didn't expect was to find him sleeping with their Vice Captain!

Vanessa groaned as she stumbled in behind Finral, head aching from her hangover. Slumping over the spacial mage, she rubbed her eyes.

"What's all the noise about?" She groaned.

Blinking blearily, her eyes widened when she realized who was on the bed.

"Oh? Looks like I can't call Magna a virgin delinquent anymore."

Finral sputtered, stomping over the bed, yanking at the blankets angrily.

"Damn you, Magna! GET UP!" He yelled, seething with jealousy.

The two mages froze in their spots as cyan eyes peaked from the blankets, cold as ice as they glared at the two intruders. Finral and Vanessa were sweating buckets under the narrowed eyes of the clairvoyant.

T-this is bad! I completely forgot about Phia!

Stupid Finral! We're dead now!

"Out."

"Ah! Yes!"

"Sorry, Phia!"

The two squeaked, nodding as they stumbled outside. Delphia watched as they tripped over themselves to leave, sighing as she slumped back into the bed. Hearing a groan and shuffling she hummed in greeting as bleary eyes blinked up at her.

"Did someone come in?" Magna murmured.

"Go back to sleep. It's still early." She coaxed, running her fingers through his bed hair, pulling him back to rest against her. The fire mage was still much too sleepy to argue and complied, returning to the land of dreams. Delphia's eyes softened before they closed as she followed after.

[TAROT*CARDS]

"Ne ne~ Phia, tell me, did you have a good time last night?"

The violet haired woman blinked at the older woman as she focused on their flight path.

"It was actually pretty rough," Delphia answered nonchalantly, mind flashing to the rather emotional roller coaster Magna had gone through last night.

Noelle squeaked from behind her, staring incredulously at her idol as she clutched her waist as the two older members carried Asta and her on their brooms to their destination.

"Y-Y-YOU-" Noelle flushed as her mind conjured images much too explicit.

"My Phia~ How bold~" Vanessa cooed.

Delphia and Asta stared in confusion at the teasing witch and blushing royal. The two made eye contact before shrugging.

"You two haven't gone to Castle Town, have you?" Delphia asked, already guessing the answer.

"I haven't," Noelle confirmed.

"I guess royals and nobles wouldn't really have reason to go very often. How about you, little boy?" Vanessa wondered.

"I just passed through when I went to take the Magic Entrance Exam." Asta answered.

"Then, let's have a lot of fun today."

"I'll be splitting from you three to order some supplies that need to be delivered to the hideout," Delphia informed.

"Ehhh? Can't you do that another day or have Finral order and pick them up?" Vanessa whined, "You never have time to hang out!"

Delphia's eye twitched. "If some people didn't constantly destroy public property, or gamble themselves into dept or hold tabs at nearly every bar in the kingdom then maybe I'd have more time to myself than with paperwork."

The trio flinched, Noelle scooting as far from the older mage as she could safely do while sharing the same broom.

Vanessa laughed nervously, changing the subject once she saw their destination in sight.

"Ah! We're here!"

[TAROT*CARDS]

"It's still amazing!" Asta admired.

"It's quite lively," Noelle noted.

Delphia's eyes glimmered with amusement as she watched the two rookies take in the unfamiliar sights. Taking out a folded note, she hummed as she mentally recalled the shops she'd need to visit to make her orders.

"Hey, those robes... They're Magic Knights."

Delphia's cyan eyes glanced around, mentally rolling as she realized people were beginning to stare warily at her group.

"That mark... Ugh, it's the Black Bulls!"

"That's the lush witch, Vanessa."

"Are the cute girl next to her and the little kid also Black Bulls?"

"It's probably best to just stay away..."

"They're starting to get a bit restless." Noelle scoffed, hearing the people gossip.

"It's fine. Magic Knights being in town helps deter crime." Vanessa assured, "Not to mention, some fine gentlemen might approach us. Plus, we have the good old Vice Captain with us too!" The witch winked, draping herself on the younger woman. Delphia gave in to her desires to roll her eyes, frowning when Vanessa's actions brought attention to her presence, increasing the whispers.

"Wow~ it's Counsellor Delphia!"

"Yikes, she's just as emotionless as the rumours say."

"Are you kidding?! She's gorgeous! Look at those-"

"You three go on ahead," Delphia paused in her steps as she continued to speak, seeing as Vanessa was about to protest, "We'll meet at the usual rendezvous point. For now, show them around." She instructed the witch, nodding towards the rookies.

Vanessa pouted, "Fine~"

Nodding thankfully, Delphia patted the newest members on their heads before moving to complete her tasks.

[TAROT*CARDS]

Delphia nodded politely as she exited one of the last few shops she had to visit.

"Now, all that's left is to order more stationary equipment..." She murmured to herself.

With the destructive nature of her squad, Delphia made it a habit to make several copies of her work, sorting them in several different areas in case the originals were ever destroyed. This had saved her many times in the past when piles of work were caught on fire due to fights and even one case where a section of the archives got flooded.

Having been focused on the list she had pulled out to ensure she had not missed anything, Delphia had not noticed the figure loitering in her path before she crashed into them.

The two tumbled over with a groan. Delphia blinked, regaining her composure, deadpanning as she met blue eyes.

"Oh, it's you."

"You-" Blue eyes narrowed dangerously as he hissed, "Get off of me, you scum."

The tarot user quickly rolled off, pushing herself up from the ground.

"Good day, Solid," Delphia greeted monotonously, holding her hand out for the still fallen teen.

The young Silva slapped her hand away, glaring as he dusted himself off. The two stood, the air tense as one glared, the other returning it with lidded eyes. Delphia held back the urge to sigh, nodding her head politely as she moved to walk past the royal. She bit back a frown as a hand grabbed her upper arm, stopping her in her place.

Delphia glanced over her shoulder, quirking a brow questionably as Solid glowered at her.

"Where do you think you're going, scum?"

"I have some errands to complete, Solid. Release my arm."

Solid scowled, keeping a tight grip on her arm as he dragged her behind him. Delphia frowned, staring at the younger magic knight in confusion but allowed herself to be towed away. She blinked as she was suddenly pushed against a wall and caged between the Silva's arms as he attempted to intimidate her.

She had to give him some credit, had she been anyone else, his glare would be enough to freeze her in place. Unfortunately for him, she's a regular victim of his Nozel's patented I'll-kill-you-where-you-stand glare, which is on a level of its own with only a few being utterly immune to it, including herself.

"Can I help you?" Delphia tilted her head, the man being shorter than her by a few inches, as she crossed her arms, leaning against the bricked wall.

Seeing how Solid's scowl morph in an almost feral way, Delphia couldn't hide the quirk of her lip.

"Keep that up, and it will stay that way."

Solid's eye twitched violently, as he pushed off the wall, grimoire in hand. A crazed smile grew on his lips as his glare darkened at the nonchalant woman before him.

"You've always been such a nuisance," Solid hissed, "I never understood why Nozel-niisama hasn't punished you as is his right for your subservience. In his stead, I shall show you where your place is."

Water Creation Magic: Holy Water Assassination Bullet

Water gathered to create a large bullet aimed at the Black Bull, who had yet to make her move. Solid was irked seeing how relaxed she was in the face of his magic. With a motion of his hand, he sent the bullet flying, grin widening as it reached its target. He laughed only to freeze as an arm swung over his shoulder.

"You've certainly improved. The size of your bullets have grown," Delphia observed from his side, "I suggest working on controlling the bullet's rotational movement. Increasing the speed would allow for a stronger penetrative force for your projectiles."

"Y-you- how-" Solid paled as cold, cyan eyes peered into his own.

"This is my final warning, Solid," Delphia's eyes glowed as they narrowed dangerously, "Fix the attitude, or it shall be your downfall."

With a pat, she spun on her heel, exiting the alley to finish her final errand, not bothering to look back at the young Silva who watched her walk off, a touch of fear in his eyes.

[TAROT*CARDS]

Delphia tilted her head, taking in the sight of a fallen praying mantis with a black bull shaking him awake.

"What happened?" She asked in exasperation. They can't even have a day off without attracting some sort of trouble.

"Phia-senpai! Help! He got poisoned!" Asta panicked.

Shaking her head, Delphia knelt and examined the wound.

"How is it? Is it bad? Is he gonna die?!"

Slapping the boy, Delphia stared at him blankly as he calmed down.

"He's fine. It's just a momentary numbing poison." Seeing heads of pink and silver hair, she waved them over, "Vanessa, have you bought your ointments and herbs? The boy's been poisoned."

The witch nodded and quickly got to work, using the shique ointment she bought as an antidote.

It wasn't long before the victim was back on his feet and riding on his rather obnoxious scooter, the thief tied up and ready for transport.

"Bah-ha! Make sure you stay diligent until he next time I see you, Asta! See ya, bah-ha!" The boy was quick to drive off, leaving the Black Bull quartet behind.

"See ya, Bah-ha!" Asta waved.

Delphia bit back a smile. Could he be any more oblivious? She wondered.

Seeing Asta return the money, Delphia couldn't help but deadpan as she and the old woman made eye contact. As Vanessa, Noelle and Asta gave the lady their goodbyes, Delphia allowed them to walk ahead, leaving her and the woman behind.

The old lady laughed as Delphia stared them down and complied with her unsaid request to release their transformation.

"Don't you have work, Lord Julius?"

"Ma~ Nothing too important," Julius assured, smiling at the young magic knight, "But magic negation, eh? That's a type of magic I've never seen before."

Delphia held back a groan and quickly bid the wizard king farewell before following after her squadmates. It wouldn't do to get caught up in his magic fanboy tirades.
