Chapter 4: The Black Bulls
The fighting in the Black Bulls headquarters continue as Asta stares on with a neutral expression.
'Damn, I'm getting cold feet. But from today on, I'm also a member of the Black Bulls.' Asta thought steeling his nerves. 'As they say, first impressions last forever…' He thought as he takes a deep breath. "My name is Asta, I'm from the village of Hage. As of today, I'm also a member of the Black Bulls! I look forward to working with you all!" He shouts but not one of them listens as they continue doing their own thing.
"That pudding that you hid away was delish!" The blond boy shouts happily dodging fireballs from the mohawk guy.
"And that'll be your final meal!" The mohawk guy yells swings his bat and sending more fireballs at the boy.
"Om nom nom nom nom nom." The petite girl says as she continues eating ignoring the chaos around her.
"I can remember doing a shot challenge with some guy at the bar, but after that…" The woman says rubbing her head straightening her hair.
"Would you guys give it a rest?! How are you going to repay my sister if she hears you jackasses?!" The man with the mirror yells angrily.
'They didn't hear a word!' Asta thought as he stares on.
Asta then sees a stare fireball heading towards him and quickly activates his Iron Dragon's Scales and shields himself with his arms as the ball explodes when it makes contact with him.
"Revenge for my pudding!" The mohawk guy yells.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!" The blond boy laughs still dodging the attacks.
"Would you shut up already?! Your making my headache worse!" The woman shouts.
"You shut up you stupid wasted woman!" The mohawk guy yells.
"What'd you say you virgin roughneck?!" The woman asks.
"I am NOT a virgin!" The mohawk guy yells.
"If you look away like that, you're going to die." The blond boy yells as he fires an attack himself.
"Phew." The giant man says not really doing anything.
"Om nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom." The petite girl continues eating.
"In the name of my sister who is my goddess, I'm going to kill you all!" The mirror guy yells.
"You guys," Yami begins to say as he raises his left arm. "Stop destroying the place!" He yells smashing the wall behind him.
'You're just as bad!' Asta thought in shock as he deactivates his scales.
The members of the Black Bulls halt their actions as Asta watches their attitudes change really fast.
"Yami! I believe your work was done as wonderfully as ever!" The mohawk guy yells bowing his head to his captain.
"Cap, have some of this, it's delicious!" The petite girl says holding up a cupcake pastry.
"Welcome back captain!" The woman says excitedly.
"Captain, if I may have a word with you." The mirror guy says.
"Yami, was there someone out there who tried to talk smack to you? If there was, I'll go kill them now." The mohawk guy says.
"Cap, you're going to have to fight me today!" The blond boy excitedly.
"Phew." The giant man simply says.
"Ignore these babies and come have a drink with me." The woman says.
"Cap, cap! You've got to try this!" The petite girl says.
"I can't take it anymore…can I go see my sister?" The mirror guy asks.
"Is that right? You guys really like me, don't you? That's great but…" Yami says with a happy expression on his face. "Shut the hell up!" He says sternly.
"We're sorry." All the members say together.
"This guy is our newest member." Yami says gesturing to Asta next to him. "Show him the ropes without actually killing him.
'What?' Asta asks in confusion. "My name is Asta, I'm from the village of Hage. As of today, I'm also a member of the Black Bulls. I look forward to working with you all." He says gesturing a "hello" with his arm. 'Even though this is the second time I've introduced myself.' He thought.
"There are others who belong to out group. Some are on missions, some are on vacation, and some just don't feel like showing up." Yami explains to Asta. "Well, try to get along with them all." He says.
"As long as they don't try to piss me off, I'm sure I'll get along fine with everyone." Asta says.
"You are one hard guy to get a read on. First, I thought you were a loud, annoying kid, but now you seem calm and collected." Yami says.
"When you said Hage, you mean that little village at the edge of the map?" The woman asks. "Being from out in the cut and making into the Magic Knights, you've done well for yourself boy. How about I do something nice for you?" She says flirtingly as she leans towards Asta as she runs her fingers under his chin.
"Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to pass." Asta says stepping away from the woman.
"Mguh." The woman says covering her mouth. "Bu ee ee ee ee ee e." She throws up in front of Asta.
"Whoa!" Asta says covering his sensitive nose.
"Come on now. A weak little shrimp like you from east bumblefuck is the newest member of the Black Bulls?" The mohawk guy asks glaring at Asta.
'Is this guy a gangster?' Asta wondered.
"I don't know how much head you gave Yami, but until you have one of these robes, I, Magna Swing, will never consider you one of us. Even if you were Yami's right hand man." The mohawk guy, now known as Magna Swing, says gesturing to his robe.
'A Magic Knight robe. Pretty cool.' Asta thought. "Let me have one then!" He yells.
"So you want one huh? That's good, that's good." Magna says. 'Man, this guy's personality does a 180 really fast.' He thought. "But before you do, you're going to have to go through the Black Bulls' welcoming ceremony." He says with a sinister look.
"The what?" Asta asks.
Later Asta and Magna were outside the Black Bulls' headquarters facing off against each other while the other members watch, some where even on a couch that had been brought outside.
"I don't care what method you use, all you have to do is either block or dodge the attack magic that I'm going to throw at you. If you can do that, then you'll also be one of us. And I'll give you this robe." Magna says holding up a spare Black Bulls robe.
"Here goes this unofficial ceremony again." The woman says yawning.
"Who cares, it's entertaining." The blond boy says happily.
"Hey, check it out." The petite girl says catching everyone's attention. "That guy has two grimoires on him." She says.
"You're right. I've never heard of someone having two grimoires before." The woman says.
"It must mean he's really strong!" The blond boy says excitedly.
'No matter the attack, so long as it's magic, my Anti-Magic sword will be able to cut it! And just to show them what all I can do, I'll end this with my Dragon Slayer Magic!' Asta thought. "Bring it on!" He yells. 'I got this! This is going to be fun!' He thought.
"Here I come! Take out your grimoire shrimp!" Magna yells.
"I'm ready whenever you are!" Asta yells.
The two then take out their grimoires and a fireball appears in Magna's hand while Asta pulls out his broadsword from his Anti-Magic grimoire.
"Fire Magic: Exploding Fireball!" Magna yells as he throws the fireball really fast towards Asta.
Even though to everyone else it looked really fast, to Asta, it looked to be coming towards him at a person's regular walking speed thanks to his enhanced eyesight.
'Oh shit, I'm dead.' Asta thought even though he could dodge it his body wouldn't move.
'Asta's brain…understood on instinct. Up to this point, Asta, using his Anti-Magic, would use his muscles, enhanced hand eye coordination and explosiveness to cut through magic. But the magic thrown at Asta this time around was something that he couldn't stop even if he cut it. Even if he did cut through it, it wouldn't stop it's forward force. He would get attack by two halves of the same attack.'
'I can't prevent this one like I normally do.' Asta thought.
'Once he realized his limit, all thoughts stopped…but, his body and dragon instincts hadn't given up. His body that he trained into a second brain combined with the instincts of a dragon, threw caution to the wind. As a means of survival, got him through the danger!'
Asta used the spine of his broadsword and swung it upward as it hit the fireball and redirected it up into the sky where it exploded high above the base. Everyone stares on in awe at what they just witnessed.
'It's been a while since I didn't need to save a rookie during one of these ceremonies.' Finral thought closing his grimoire.
'Even if slicing the magic wouldn't work, hitting it with the spine of the sword would? That sword…' Yami thought staring at Asta. 'The blade can cut through magic, while the spine reflects it.' He thought.
'I had no idea!' Asta shouted in his mind as he looks up at the sky and then at his sword. 'He almost killed me back there!' He thought as he activates his magic and everyone feels the pressure.
"Whoa, that's some magical power he's got." The woman says as the blond boy gets excited.
"It's my turn now." Asta says with a growl as hit Dragon Slayer Grimoire opens up. "Iron Dragon's…" He begins to say inhaling a large amount of air causing his chest to expand and then gathers it into his cheeks as he clenches his hands into fist in front of his mouth. "Roar!" He yells as he releases a very powerful tornado, which dispersed sharp metal shards as well, from his mouth which literally blew Magna away and into the forest behind him.
"He did it, he did it." The blond boy says amazed by what he just saw.
"I have to say, that was impressive." The woman says as the petite girl laughs in excitement.
"So that's what his white grimoire's magic allows him to do?" Finral asks completely overwhelmed by the power of the attack, and he was on the sidelines.
'So…this is the power of Dragon Slayer Magic? Impressive.' Yami just stared at the display with a smirk.
'What the hell was he thinking? Trying to kill a new member on their first day? Wait…did he die?' Asta wonders seeing the way several trees were broken from his attack.
"That fucking hurt!" Magna yells pulling himself up from behind a tree.
'He took that head on and is just fine?!' Asta wonders in complete shock.
"If I hadn't been able to counter that, I could've been in worst shape." Magna says as Asta sighs in relief and sweats a little nervously. "Hey punk! You're pretty damn good!" He shouts.
"Huh?" Asta questions in confusion.
"You didn't simply block or avoid my attack, you sent my magic in a different direction! And managed to land a seriously awesome attack on me too! I like you, Rasta!" Magna yells slapping him on the back.
"It's Asta." Asta corrects Magna.
"I'm also from the country too! I'm from Rayaka, just a little north of Hage." Magna says.
"Damn, that's way out in the stix!" Asta shouts in amazement.
"You're the last person I should be hearing that from." Magna says.
"But you should know, up to six months ago, I had no magic power whatsoever." Asta says rubbing the back of his head.
"Huuuh?! You had NO magic?! And you have all this power with just six months of training?!" Magna asks making Asta sweat nervously. "That makes what you're doing even more impressive! Managing to possess two grimoires and have all that magic power, you're a real man, aren't you?" He asks as the rest of the group came and gathered around them.
"You're pretty interesting, kid." The blond boy says.
"Do you want some?" The petite girl asks holding up a pastry.
"You're pretty good, boy." The woman says.
"Stay away from my sister." The mirror man says.
"Now then, let's begin round 2. You're going to fight me!" The blond boy yells.
'Huuuh?!' Asta questions.
"This is good, would you like to try some?" The petit girl asks.
'Thanks.' Asta thought accepting the treat. 'Delish!' He thought taking a bite out of the pastry.
"Here," Magna says holding out the spare Black Bulls robe to Asta. "This is yours, Asta." He says.
"Uhf fuh fuh." The woman chuckles taking out a wand. "As an added bonus." She says pointing the wand at Asta's headband causing it to spin around 180 degrees and the insignia of the Black Bulls appears on it. "And now, you are officially a member of the Black Bulls!" She says.
"Hell yeah! Thanks!" Asta shouts excitedly but they were unaware that they were being watched by a silver-haired girl.
The girl looked to be Asta's age with a slender build and pink eyes. Her silver-colored hair is in pigtails, bangs hanging from over her forehead. Additionally, she wears a pair of purple stud earrings with a cross flory fitchy shape and a silver bracelet on her left wrist. She wears a sleeveless, backless, short purple dress covered by a silver-colored blazer. The blazer has a backless design with sleeves attached at the back and extends slightly beyond her elbows with gold-colored cuff. The blazer also has a pair of pins with the same symbol as her earrings attached to it around her collarbones area. Additionally, the blazer has frilly edges and a rounded tailcoat that extends down to her knees. Furthermore, the blazer extends up to her neck where it has frilly edges and is held together by a gold locket. She wears a brown leather belt that supports her pouch, which has a similar color and gold ornaments at its corners, where she puts her grimoire. She also wears a pair of silver-colored leg warmers with a gold-colored buffs at both ends and a pair of sandals. As a member of the Black Bull squad, she wears her black squad robe, which is short with gold trimming, looks like a mantle with a hood. It has a gold-colored button to hold it together at the right-hand side. The robe also displays her squad's insignia on the left-hand side.
"So that's the new member?" The girl asks watch from the shadows of the building. "Not bad, for an insect." She says flipping her silver hair.
