Chapter 6: Go! Go! First Mission

The next few days Asta is getting more and more use to the Black Bulls…or so he thought. One thing kept nagging at Asta and he finally decided to ask.

"So I've been meaning to ask, what…" Asta begins to ask eating a steak with nails on the side. "Does an order of Magic Knights do anyway?" He asks.

"…really? You're seriously asking that?" Magna asks with an annoyed look on his face before grabbing Asta by his Black Bulls' robe. "We protect the country, and guard VIPs, work for men!" He shouts tightening his grip on Asta's robe causing him to choke a little. "Why the hell did you join one without knowing?!" He asks loudly.

"I'm sorry-urguhhh! I can't breathe." Asta barely manages to say.

"Hah ha aha ha ha." The woman laughs slightly drunk and in her undergarments.

"Om nom nom nom. Oh nom nom." The petit girl munches the huge pile of food in front of her.

"Well here's a better question; why are there nails beside your food?" Noelle asks gaining the attention of the others.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys. I can replenish my magic power and energy by eating the element of any dragon slayer magic I have, which for now is just iron. So whenever I eat, train, or travel, I always have some iron nails to help restore my body to a healthy state and refuel my magic." Asta says grabbing a few nails and tossing them into his mouth.

Everyone just stares in amazement as they could actually hear the nails grinding between his teeth and watch as Asta swallows the nails like it was actually food.

"Well, there's also doing things like protecting the people." The woman, known as Vanessa Enoteca, a lush who was disowned by a well to do family, says. "You might be able to get close to a wonderful man like that." She says blushing slightly either from the alcohol or from something else entirely, either way Asta could hear her heart beating faster.

"There are fun jobs like fighting to your hearts content." The blond boy, known as Luck Voltia, the smile freak, says. "If it's a criminal, no one will complain if you beat him within an inch of his life." He says does some air punches as well.

"On top of all that, it's a job where you get to admire my sister." The man, known as Gauche Adlai, a former prisoner and sister lover says. "Isn't she an angel? You can buy my sister whatever she likes with your pay." He says with a nosebleed and holding up a picture of a young girl with short blonde hair, purple eyes and wearing a purple dress.

"Ahh! This is awful! My food is all gone!" The petit girl, known as Charmy Pappitson, the voracious eater, shouts staring at her empty plate as her grimoire levitates in front of her. "Cotton Creation Magic: Sheep Cook!" She yells using her magic to create an entity is the shape of a sheep.

The sheep is composed of bundles of cotton with complete sheep anatomy and a chef hat. The sheep then begins cooking and baking more food for Charmy.

"You get to eat a lot of food!" Charmy says smiling.

The large man then walks up to Asta as he opens his grimoire and smoke begins emitting from his body.

"Hm?" Asta questions in curiosity.

When the smoke clears the large man had shrunken down and transformed himself to look like Asta.

"Whatever it may be, it's good work." The man, known as Gray, the master of disguise magic, says. "At some point, we'll be working together, and I look forward to it." He says placing a hand on Asta's shoulder.

'Right…there are only weirdos here.' Asta and Noelle thought together.

"If you put this on top of this, it's really good." Charmy says adding gravy to the leg of lamb. "Here, have some." She says shoving it in Asta's mouth.

"I'm actually quite full right now." Asta mumbles through all the food Charmy had stuffed into his mouth.

Later Magna had brought Asta and Noelle to see Yami in the meeting room.

"Now then, you two get your first mission. You'll be in the village of Sosshi hunting a boar." Magna explains the mission.

'A…boar?' Asta and Noelle thought picturing the animal in their minds.

"W-What's with that shitty mission?!" Asta yells in anger.

"What the hell did you call it?" Magna yells with equal anger.

"I can beat a boar with my bare hands!" Asta shouts.

"Don't look down on boars!" Magna yells.

"I lost a bet with a guy, and the loser of the bet was to do one thing the other asked." Yami explains. "In order to bring profit to his poor village, he was trying to get 1,000 gold in one go…he won." He says.

"…" Asta and Noelle look at their captain with blank looks on their faces before looking at each other.

"When people have a lot on their shoulders, they're really quite strong." Yami says.

"Hey! That has nothing to do with us!" Asta shouts.

"He's right!" Noelle yells in agreement.

"So, are you going to go? Or are you going to die?" Yami asks with a deadly glare while smoking his cigarette.

"We're on our way!" Asta and Noelle shout and quickly leave the room in fear.

"Regardless of the situation, it's my first mission! I'm getting pumped!" Asta says flaring him magic power a little.

"So I'm…going to a dirty little village for a dirty old man, to kill a dirty boar…?" Noelle asks thinking over the situation.

"What? You got a problem with that?" Magna asks.

"I never said it was a problem. Just…" Noelle says pausing for a second. "I was wondering if it was alright for me to go, since…I can't control my magic." She says.

"DUMBASS! You'll get better without realizing it the more you go on mission!" Magna shouts.

"Plus, I be there to nullify your magic if it goes out of control again." Asta says smiling at Noelle making her blush at his words.

"I-If you're going to go that far, then I'll go with you." Noelle says feeling her heart beat a little faster after hearing Asta's words to her. 'Why am I feeling like this.' She wonders.

"Damn it, Asta! Why did you step on my moment?!" Magna asks yelling.

"What are you talking about? I'm just trying to keep Noelle's nerves calm." Asta says unknowingly causing Noelle to blush even harder.

"Fine. Okay, this time around, we won't be able to use Finral's magic, so we'll have to fly out there on brooms." Magna says.

[Flashback]

"If it's somewhere that I can't see, I'll have to have seen it first to be able to send you there. I've never heard of Sosshi before." Finral says.

[End Flashback]

"I don't have a broom to fly." Asta says.

"And I can't fly one." Noelle says.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Why the hell don't you have the most basic equipment for a mage? And why the hell can't you do something so basic?" Magna asks them while once again grabbing Asta by his robe.

"Because I may have just became a magic knight but Hage is a pretty poor village." Asta says somewhat proudly.

"Why is he acting so proud about that?" Magna asks.

"Obviously because I can't control my magic." Noelle says acting proud for some reason.

"Why is she acting high and mighty?" Magna asks. "If that's the case…I'll get us there on my favorite broom. I call it the Crazy Cyclone!" He says showing them his customized broom.

Crazy Cyclone has the appearance of a bull skeleton in which it has a skull of a bull with sunglasses as its headpiece. Furthermore, its shaft has as wavy surface with a semi-circular saddle, which has three pairs of ribs on the sides and a pair of dark-colored fur at the end of it. At the end, Crazy Cyclone has a bundle of bristles as commonly seen on a broomstick. Additionally, it is also installed with a pole form which a flag with the Black Bull insignia flutters.

"Impressive." Asta says calmly.

"I know right!" Magna shouts with pride.

"…" Noelle however remains silent. "LAME!" She suddenly shouts however because she was standing right next to Asta she managed to hurt his sensitive ears.

"THE hell? I guess a woman just doesn't get it." Magna says.

"L-A-M-E!" Noelle spells out her word loudly.

The three board Crazy Cyclone with Magna sitting in front, Noelle sitting side-saddle close to Asta, who was resting against the pole with his hands behind his head on the back of the broomstick.

"Alright, let's get out of here!" Magna yells gripping the horns of the bull skull headpiece however his entire body way shaking.

"Are you going to be alright?" Noelle asks with slight concern.

"I LIVE UP TO MY WORD!" Magna yells as Crazy Cyclone bursts forward and into the air.

As the group fly through the air, Asta took the opportunity to view landscape that they flew over. Noelle occasionally took glances back at him blushing slightly, before quickly turning forward just as he was turning his head.

"Hey! Can't you fly a little better than this?" Noelle asks with her hands-on Magna's shoulders to keep her from falling off.

"OW! Hey, don't strangle me!" Magna yells.

"Then fly so that I don't feel scared!" Noelle shouts.

"Man, this is great. The feel of the wind just makes me feel so…calm." Asta says closing his eyes as he feels the breeze around him.

'He true is interesting. Possessing two grimoires, magic power that's at the level of a high noble or a low/middle royal, and the way his personality changes from loud and crazy to calm and collected.' Noelle thought blushing feeling her body heat up as she watches Asta relax. 'Wait! What am I thinking?! I'm royalty and he's just a commoner. It's not like we could ever…aaaahh!' She screams in her mind as steam raises from her head because of her thoughts.

"Hey dumbsta, if you don't want to die out here, hold on properly!" Magna shouts.

"Fine." Asta says placing his hands-on Noelle's waist causing her to shriek at the sudden contact. "Sorry." He says blushing and re-places his hands on her shoulders.

A couples of hours later the three arrive at the edge of Sosshi village but upon arrival something strange was there.

"…! What is this? The village…is surrounded by mist." Magna says as he looks at the village completely covered in mist and only the village for some reason.

"This village has some really poor weather." Asta says.

"Dummy, this is magic." Noelle says to him.

"Really? Magic can do something like this?" Asta asks.

"Of course, if the mage is strong enough and has the right magic. Haven't you seen magic before?" Noelle asks.

"Well, yeah but Hage is a small village so not many people can do magic like this." Asta explains.

"Even if we do enter through the front, we probably won't be able to reach our destination." Noelle states.

'I don't think this is the work of someone who live here. Completely engulfing a village in mist…' Magna thought.

"I can smell multiple scents coming from the center of the village. Everyone must be gathered there." Asta says sniffing the air.

"Okay then Asta, use your sword to cut through the mist." Magna says.

"Huh?" Asta asks in confusion.

"The mist is magic, so your sword can cut through it." Magna says.

"Oh right." Asta says cancelling his magic as his Anti-Magic grimoire levitates on his right side and pulls out his broadsword and begins slicing through the mist causing some of it to get erased.

As the Black Bulls enter the village with Asta slicing away the mist, having nothing to lead them but Asta's sense of smell and hearing. It was worrisome at first but over time, Magna and Noelle knew Asta was what he was doing as he continue slicing the mist, not only did they start to hear something, but fell something as well.

"You feel that?" Magna asks Noelle.

"Yeah, it's magic and it's strong." Noelle said starting to sweat from the pressure.

The trio kept going as Asta sliced through the last of the mist as they reached the center of the village but what they saw was something they didn't expect to see. The villagers were huddled together in fear as what appeared to be ice spikes floating above them.

"Kill them." A random voice says.

The ice spikes started to rain down on the villagers with intent to kill until Magna and Asta came running in.

"Fire Magic: Exploding Buckshot!" Magna shouts as he generates multiple fireballs at once and throws them upward as they become a barrage of attacks the spread in a wide area.

Upon contact with the ice spikes, the fireballs generate massive, continuous explosions that destroyed every single ice spike.

"Huh…?!" A villager asks in shock as he sees the Black Bulls insignia on Magna's robe.

"Did…" Another villager begins to say.

"We're…" A third villager begins to say.

"An order of Magic Knights…has come to rescue us!" A fourth villager yells.

"What's going on here?" Magna asks in anger.

"Ugh…" A young boy cries catching Magna's attention. "Your prayers came to, pops." The boy cries.

"…!" Magna recognizes the old man as the one who won against Yami and requested their help. "This man is…hey, you can't be…!" He shouts but takes closer look and sees the old man is dead.

"Gramps…!" The boy cries.

"…" Asta and Noelle remain silent after realizing someone just dead.

"A person's life was taken…so easily." The random voice says catching Magna's attention.

"Is this your doing?!" Magna yells his question.

The man was a slender, middle-aged man with slanted eyes. He is very skinny, which can be seen from the tone of his face, and also has a large chin. Additionally, he has a short light-colored hair combed backwards. One of his most prominent features is the scar at the right-hand side of his forehead, which is elongated across his face all the way to his left cheek. He wears an attire similar to a military uniform, which is also worn by his three subordinates. The attire consists of a dark-colored jumpsuit that covers his entire body with two belts strapped around his neck. On top of it, he wears a light-colored shirt with elbow-length sleeves that extend down to his knee. The shirt also has a short cape that only covers his chest area. The cape has circular ornaments at the circumference and a hood. The three subordinates' capes extend all the way down and cover their entire body. Furthermore, he also wears a three-way belt, which is strapped around his torso. In addition, he wears three more dark-colored belts around his waist, where he also places the pouch to carry his grimoire. Finally, he wears a pair of dark-colored boots. He also has a pocket watch, which he uses frequently. The watch has a circular design with a button at the top. The button consists of a short tube with a sphere at the top, which is connected to another pair of tubes that are protruding to the sides. The tubes have an arc that connects them to each other. The watch has Roman numerals for the hour marks, and the hands are needles with a circular design near the tip.

"I can't believe you gave them more time. In 3 seconds, they're all be executed." The man says as he creates a huge ice shard and sends it towards them.

'Oh shit, I don't have enough magic…' Magna thought but then sees Asta zoom past him.

Asta jumps into the air and raises his Anti-Magic broadsword and slices the giant ice shard in half causing them to miss the villagers and crash into the buildings behind them. Asta looks behind him and sees the terrified faces of the villagers and feels his blood boil.

"You'll pay for that!" Asta yells at the man.

"…" The man remains silent with an emotionless expression on his face.
