Chapter 5: The Other New Member

Asta had just passed the Black Bulls' unofficial welcome ceremony and received his Magic Knight's robe, making him a full-fledged member.

"With his you are now a member of the Magic Knight order of the Black Bulls. You better do well enough that you don't throw dirt on our name." Yami says.

"Yes sir!" Asta replies excitedly.

"Get excited, because as a special bonus, I'm going to show you around the joint! Follow me, Rasta!" Magna shouts as they run towards the destroyed base entrance.

"Right behind you shady!" Asta says.

"The name is Magna." Magna says.

"Hey, we haven't finished introducing ourselves yet." The woman says watching the two enter the base.

The two make their way towards a room that looked like an academy style dinning room.

"This is the mess hall!" Magna shouts showing Asta the mess hall.

"Ohhhh! It's huge." Asta says.

The mess hall was indeed big, and had its own kitchen attached to it as well. There were about four long tables that stretch from one end of the room to the other. There were a few pictures hanging on the wall and windows to all the room to have natural lighting.

The teens the leaving the mess hall and enter a room full of steam from hot water.

"This is the bathhouse!" Magna shouts.

"Very nice! It's pretty big too." Asta says.

The bathhouse was design like a hot spring but inside and had a figure head of a bull that pumped hot water into the tube.

As they exited the bathhouse Magna stands at the beginning of a hallway with Asta.

"Down there is where the women sleep. If a guy tries to pass, he'll activate the trap and die!" Magna says.

"Understandable." Asta says.

The hall to the woman's rooms had trip wires everywhere and large iron spears in the ceiling that would impale the intruder if the wires were tripped.

The boys then make their way to the basement-like dungeon.

"And this is the wild beast's dungeon!" Magna says.

"Why the hell is that even…" Asta begins to ask sweat dropping.

"Because Yami likes it." Magna says.

Inside one of the cells, it was filled with many beasts banging against the cells bars. One of the beasts sticks it's head out and tries to take a bit out of Asta.

"Hey!" Asta shouts releasing his magic. "Iron Dragon's Scales!" He yells covering his body in iron scales. "Iron Dragon's Hard Fist!" He shouts punching the biting beast pushing it back into cage past the other beasts.

"Whoa." Magna says watching Asta attack the beast and then approaches the cage.

"Let's get one thing straight here, I am not a chew toy. I'm top beast here, you got that?!" Asta asks steering at the beasts directly in the eyes.

The beasts look at Asta and see the image of a dragon behind him and immediately run towards the back of the cage in fear.

"Man, that was insane! You tamed those beasts with just a glare! I'm impressed." Magna says slapping Asta on the back.

"Thanks, after obtaining my dragon slayer grimoire, I've gained qualities of a dragon and I guess animals just have a natural fear of me now." Asta says.

"They recognize a true man when they see one." Magna says laughing. "Anyways, let's move one." He says as they exit the dungeon.

They then make their way towards a door leading out of the base.

"And over here…" Magna begins to say but then stops. "Oh?" He says seeing someone enter through the open door.

The girl that was watching Asta and Magna's fight was walking towards them with an expressionless look on her face.

'She has…silver hair.' Asta thought and for some reason his heart begins to start beating faster than normal.

"Is this where you were?" Magna asks the girl. "Asta, this one is your equal. She's the other one who was admitted this year." He explains.

"Really?" Asta says getting a look at the girl in front of him. 'She looks to be able my age. Her scent is…very pleasing. So, she's my "equal", huh? It has a nice ring to it.' He thought. "I'm Asta from the village of Hage. I look forward to working with you to achieve our sperate goals." He says holding out his hand to her, but the girl slaps it away.

"Who gave you permission to talk to me?" The girl asks.

'Huh?' Asta questions.

"You little insect with unknown types of magic! I am Noelle Silva, of this country's royal line." The girl, now known as Noelle, says.

'Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Sh-Sh-She's royalty?!' Asta thought in complete shock. "Please forgive this insect, he didn't realize who he was talking to…" He begins to say on his hands and knees, forgetting about his dragon pride for a moment.

"So long as you understand." Noelle says with her hands on her hips looking down on Asta.

"Hey, wait a minute…who the hell are you calling an insect?!" Asta yells getting back up quickly. "The two of us are equals in this order! You being royalty doesn't matter in the least!" He yells.

"Commoner." Noelle simply says.

"That's right Asta, you tell her!" Magna says being a commoner himself.

"Foolish low born, are words too difficult for you to understand?" Noelle asks. "Then I'll make you understand with the overwhelming difference in magic power." She says holding up her hand and unleashing her magic power, which was about the same level as Asta, give or take a level.

Asta glares at the girl as she summons a sphere of water and aims it at him. His human instincts were telling him to get out of the way but his dragon instincts, along with his body, told him to stand his ground. As Noelle releases the sphere of water and moves at Asta, it suddenly changed directions and hit Magna instead.

"Huh?" Asta says looking at a soaked Magna. 'That was strange. Wait a minute, could she…' He begins to wonder.

"…" Noelle just stares at what her magic just did.

"You little bitch…you'll pay for that!" Magna shouts getting back up and completely soaked.

"…" Noelle remains silent for a moment. "You happened to be standing in the wrong spot. Who said you could stand there?" She asks flipping her pigtail off her shoulder.

'Seriously?!' Magna questions in shock. "BITCH, I'M HIGHER RANKED THAN YOU!" He yells. "I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE ROYALTY OR THE SISTER OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE SILVER EAGLES! THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE HERE IS BECAUSE OF YAMI'S GOOD GRACES! You should be thankful." He screams.

"…" Noelle remains silent as she reaches for her Black Bulls robe. "I want nothing to do with his order." She says throwing the robe on the ground and walks away.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! AND WHERE'S MY DAMN APOLOGY?" Magna yells.

'Something else is bothering that girl.' Asta thought.

Later that evening, Magna brought Asta to a rundown looking room that was covered in dust and cobwebs.

"This is your room." Magna says. "How do you like it? It's small and dirty enough to make you cry, isn't it? FYI, my room is like 3 times…" He begins to say.

"This is…MY ROOM!" Asta yells with tears running down his face.

"HUH?" Magna questions in confusion.

"I'm so happy! I've never had my own room before. There were 6 of us to a room. I'll make this place sparkle!" Asta says already starting to clean the dirty room real fast.

"Do what you will. Until a mission comes, you're on your own." Magna says making his way out of the room and waving his hand. "If something happens, you can always come and get me." He says.

"Thanks." Asta says. 'This is my first castle. From here on, I'll claw my way up to being the Magic Emperor.' He thought picturing Yuno in his path as well. "Hell yeah! It's all clean! Good night!" He shouts as he climbs into his new bed.

Later that night, Asta couldn't sleep and decided to take a look around the forest surrounding the base.

"Man, that base sure is weird. Did the interior change a bit?" Asta wondered but then heard a crashing sound thanks to his sensitive ears. "Hm? What's making that sound?" He asks and then a large sphere of water comes towards him. 'Maybe I can eat it.' He thought as he tried to suck it the water, but nothing happened and ends up getting completely soaked. 'Damn it! I just don't get it. My grimoire says I can eat other elements to form new dragon slayer magics, but I can't eat any other than iron. What's wrong with me?' He wondered. 'Wait a minute, that was just like…' He being to think and then sees the scene in front of him.

Noelle was practicing trying to control her magic by hitting the target she painted on a tree but no matter what she did she always missed. Her misses left giant craters in the ground, each going in different directions.

"Why…?" Noelle asks breathing heavily. "Why can't I hit…what I want to hit?" She asks with tears forming in her eyes.

'So I was right, Noelle can't control her magic.' Asta says feeling sorry for the girl as he watches her body begin to shake violently.

[Flashback]

"I never meant to give birth to a defect like you." A voice in Noelle's head says.

"You can't control your magic? That's embarrassing." A shady figure says to Noelle.

"What's with that dirty grimoire? Are you really royalty?" Another shady figure asks Noelle.

"The Silver Eagles is not the place for you, the embarrassment of the family. You're a failure." Nozel, Noelle's brother, says.

[End Flashback]

'I'm going to make them eat all what they said to me!' Noelle screams in her mind. "…" She tries to fire another sphere of water but misses once again. "Why?! What am I doing wrong?!" She wonders but then as she forms another water sphere in front of her it suddenly starts growing bigger.

"Huh?" Asta asks watching the whole scene unfold.

Back in the base, the surge of magic power woke the blond boy up thanks to his ability to sense make. The petite girl was in her bed sleep eating somehow.

"Hmm?" The woman asks on her balcony as she looks up.

"What is that?" Yami asks taking out his cigarette from his mouth.

Outside, Noelle's magic forms a huge sphere of water the traps her inside. It also releases several waterspouts that wreak havoc on the vicinity. Seeing the accident occurring, several Black Bull members immediately head to the scene to see it up-close.

"…" Noelle still trapped inside holds her breath struggling to try and regain control.

"Oh! Wow!" The woman says.

"Her magic is out of control." Yami says.

"Damn! That's a lot of magic power! If we leave it alone, this could get ugly." Magna says.

"If we suppress it with a magic attack, the girl inside might die. If we had someone who could nullify magic, then…" Yami begins to say as one of the waterspouts sends Asta flying towards the group. "Oh yeah." He says catching Asta by his robe. "You flew out just as I was thinking of you." He says.

"Okay, so what do you want me to do?" Asta asks.

"Well for starters, that Dragon Slayer Magic of yours allows you to eat elements, so can you eat all that water?" Yami asks setting Asta down on his feet.

"I already tried before this happened and it didn't work for some reason. But I can slice it open and cancel it out." Asta says.

"Good, well then get to it." Yami says. "Now is the time to surpass your own limits!" He shouts.

"Doesn't he need help getting up there, captain?" Magna asks.

"Nah, I've got this." Asta says crouching down. "Iron Dragon's Club!" He yells transforming his legs into clubs that propel him up into the air towards the sphere.

"So cool." The blond boy shouts.

"So, he can also use his dragon magic as a means of propulsion as well. Nicely done." Yami says with a smirk.

As Asta rockets towards the water sphere the waterspouts come at him but he uses his Anti-Magic broadsword to destroy them and uses the force to propel himself higher into the air above the water dome.

'Okay, I've only practiced with these spells but now's the time to put them to full use.' Asta says throwing his broadsword towards the Black Bulls.

"Oh god!" Magna screams as the sword impales the ground in front of him causing him to fall on his ass. "Damn it, Asta! You nearly killed me!" He yells but then feels a huge amount of magic coming from Asta.

"Hmm, the kid is up to something." The woman says.

"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Karma Demon: Iron God Sword!" Asta yells as he claps his hands together above his head, creating a gigantic iron sword.

"Wow! That thing is huge!" The blond boy yells in excitement.

Asta then proceeds to swipe the sword down, slicing the sphere in half causing the water to burst and rain down on everyone. Asta then quickly dives downward and grabs Noelle in his arms. As she opens her eyes she sees that Asta was the one who saved her and is held close to his chest as they fall to the ground with him ready to take the impact from the fall until a portal opens up below them.

"Spatial Magic: Fallen Angel Gate." Finral says creating a portal in the air and one leading to the ground that Asta and Noelle come through while Asta holds Noelle close as they land on the ground.

"Thanks a lot for your spatial magic, Finral." Asta says gently setting Noelle on the ground beside him as he gets to his feet.

"No problem. Figured you could use the assist." Finral says.

"Nicely done kid!" Yami says with a satisfied look on his face.

"Thanks." Asta replies and then turns to Noelle. "Hey, you…" He begins to say.

'You're a failure.' Noelle remembers her brother's words to her. 'They're going to make fun of me again.' She thought.

"That's some crazy magic power you have there." Asta says crouching in front of her.

"Huh?" Noelle asks in confusion.

"For 15 years I had zero magic power, and six months ago I gain all this magic and I still can barely understand how these grimoires work. If you train to the point where you're able to control it, you'll be unstoppable!" Asta says smiling at her causing Noelle to blush heavily. "But there's no way I'll lose out!" He says.

"You mean, your problem was that you can't control your magic? You should've just said so. We're the order of misfits, the Black Bulls. We can easily take care of that fault of yours, dumbass." Magna says.

"I'm just glad that you're safe. BTW, there's a restaurant with some delicious Italian, how about you and me go out for dinner one night?" Finral ask but gets smacked in the back of the head by Asta as he grabs his broadsword and glares at him.

"Before that, you should try eating this." The petit girl says holding out a pastry to Noelle.

"I'm an expert at magic control, and nothing else, I can show you the ropes. As well as the bedroom's ropes too." The woman says winking.

"Come one," Asta says holding out his hand to Noelle and his broadsword resting on his shoulder in the other hand. "Let's get started on out journey." He says.

"Inse-" Noelle begins to say but stops herself. "Asta, I look forward to working with you." She says with tears in her eyes as she excepts Asta's outstretched hand.

As Asta helps Noelle to her feet the sun begins to rise as a rainbow from the water forms above them.
