Chapter 12: Reunion

In a secluded open area surrounded by a few mountains in the distance was a palace-like structure that sat atop a hill and served as the Golden Dawn's headquarters.

"Captain Vangeance! Why would you send that newbie peasant on such an important mission?!" A man asks following behind his captain.

The man was tall with a lean built with light colored spiky hair that is slightly brush back and two strands that hang in the front. He wears a double-breasted and long-sleeved shirt with a high collar and red trimmings on the edges. The collar also has a chain connecting both ends of the collar as an ornament. The shirt itself is made of two different colors where it is white at the side and red on the middle. The sleeves are mostly white fabric, except the wrist area where it is red fabric. The shirt extends below his waist and he also wears a light-colored sash on top of it. Furthermore, he also wears a casual white pants and a pair of high boots to complement it. The black boots also have fur around the collar. He wears the Golden Dawn signature squad robe, which cover his torso and is gold in color. The fabric has an intricate design with a similar color palette as the robe. It also has a blue-colored fur around the border of the hood and a pair of blue ropes coming from the left shoulder and connected to the gold-colored button on the right shoulder. The button keeps the robe properly in place. The squad's insignia is positioned at the left-hand side.

"Do you trust me?" William asks his squad member.

"Of course, sir! I, Alecdora Sandler, would die for you!" The man, now known as Alecdora Sandler, says kneeling before the captain.

"In that case…I trust him, and I would like you to do the same." William says shocking Alecdora. "He is also a member of the Golden Dawn. No doubt he will continue to grow stronger for us." He says. 'We need him to…grow stronger…' He thought.

[Dungeon]

Yuno and the two other members of the Golden Dawn were now standing in front of Asta and Noelle as the two foster brothers smile at each other.

"Yuno. Why did you save them?" The male Golden Dawn member known as Klaus Lunettes asks.

Klaus is a tall man with a slender build and slanted eyes. He also has a big and pointed nose and a large chin. His light blue colored hair is short at the side and back while also having an angular fringe to his left-hand side. Additionally, he also wears a pair of earrings and glasses with rectangular frames. As a nobleman, Klaus dresses immaculately from top to bottom. He wears a double-breasted and long-sleeved shirt with a high collar and light-colored trimmings on the edges. The collar also has a chain connecting both ends of the collar as an ornament. The shirt itself is made of two different colors where it is white at the side and red on the middle. The sleeves are mostly in light-colored fabric, except the wrist area where it has dark-colored fabric. The shirt extends below his waist and Klaus also wears a light-colored sash on top of it. Furthermore, Klaus also wears a casual light-colored pants and a pair of high boots to complement it. The dark-colored boots also have fur around the collar. Lastly, Klaus wears a long dark-colored robe on top of his outfit. The robe has enough length to cover his entire body. As a member of the Golden Dawn squad, Klaus also wears the squad's signature robe. The robe is made of gold-colored fabric with faint gold patterns on the surface and only covers his torso. The hood also has a blue fur around the edges and a pair of blue rope coming out the left-hand side. The robes are attached to a gold button on the right-hand side where it keeps the robe together. Additionally, the squad's insignia is also positioned at the left-hand side of the robe.

"Our mission is merely to capture the dungeon. In other words, we must reach the treasure hall at the center as quickly as possible. We don't have time to bother with them!" Klaus shouts.

Asta, Noelle, Nero, and Yuno stare at the arrogant nobleman with dead-pan looks on their faces.

"Hey, Yuno. What's with the rude four-eyes?" Asta asks his foster brother.

"Senior member." Yuno simply says. "I see you changed your outfit and you got your ear pierced?" He asks noticing Asta's new clothes and his dragon earring.

"Four-eyes…you're the rude one! I'm a noble! Don't speak as if we're equals!" Klaus yells.

"What? I like it besides it was a gift from Noelle here." Asta says gesturing to his teammate and crush while ignoring the fuming noble.

"Don't ignore me!" Klaus shouts in frustration.

"My, my! If it isn't miss Noelle!" The female Golden Dawn member says.

"…" Noelle looks towards the female.

"Good day to you. I haven't seen you seen you since the royal family dinner party last year." The female member of the Golden Dawn known as Mimosa Vermillion says.

Mimosa is a 15-year-old girl with a voluptuous build. She has yellow eyes and long wavy vermillion hair with bangs on her forehead. Additionally, she also wears a pair of earrings on her ears. As a noblewoman, Mimosa wears fancy attires which consist of a puffy cream-colored sweater with long sleeves, white puffy short pants, and a brown corset. Below the corset, she also wears another lighter brown-colored piece of fabric that has frilly edges. The corset is tied at the front with strings. Her footwear consists of a pair of boots that are tightly fit her les and extends above her knees. They are light-colored and have a split at the top in which are kept together by strings. The boots also have frilly edges below the collars. On top of all of those, Mimosa also wears a dark red mantle, which has a white lining made of similar material as the rest of the mantle. As a member of the Golden Dawn squad, Mimosa also wears the squad's signature robe on top of her attire. The robe is short and only cover her torso with a hood that has blue-colored fur around the edges. The robe also has a pair of teal ropes coming out of its left-hand side in which connect to the button on the right-hand side. The button also holds the robe together. Additionally, the squad's insignia is positioned at the left-hand side of the robe.

"You know her?" Asta asks but then notices Mimosa's beauty and feels his heart beating faster but doesn't notice his Elemental Dragon Slayer grimoire pulsing. 'Man, she's really beautiful just like Noelle. Wait, am I starting to develop feelings for this girl but how can that be? I know I have really strong feelings for Noelle and yet I can feel something for this girl as well. What the hell is going on with me?' He wonders.

"Yes…sort of." Noelle replies. 'My cousin Mimosa! Why did she have to be here too?!' She thought but then notices Asta staring at Mimosa and sees the blush on his face. 'No! No no no no no! Great, just great. I fall in love with someone and he's falling for Mimosa's beauty! It's probably because of her huge breasts! Why is she so gifted in the chest area?' She wonders staring down at her own breasts that are only slightly smaller than her cousin's.

"I heard that the Black Bulls are a barbaric group. Are you all right?" Mimosa asks her cousin with concern in her voice.

"Hmph! What about you, Mimosa? Can someone as dim-witted as you survive as part of the Golden Dawn?" Noelle asks standing close to Asta's side.

"Yes, everyone's very kind. thanks to them, I'm able to use my magic without worry. Eh heh heh." Mimosa says laughing. "Oh…You couldn't control your magic at all, Noelle. How has that gone for you?" She asks rudely but doesn't realize it.

'She's as obliviously rude as ever! I really can't stand her…' Noelle thought grinning with her eye twitching at her cousin's comment.

"Oh! The other day on a mission, the three of us…received a star from the Wizard King!" Mimosa says smiling with her hand on her cheek while Klaus fixing his glasses.

"Really? A few days ago, Noelle and I went on our first mission and were award three stars. Two for me and one for Noelle." Asta says gesturing to his crush as she flips her pigtail over her shoulder.

"Liar." Klaus says bluntly. "As if mere Black Bull newbies could get three stars so easily. It's impudent of them to even given you this mission." He says.

"You better go into detail about what you did to receive those stars Asta." Nero suggests.

"Good idea." Asta says confusing the three old Golden Dawn members while Noelle smiles at the teen she's in love with. "Even though the mission wasn't official by the Magic Knights we still managed to save the entire village of Sosshi from a group of terrorist mages who were hell bent on wiping the villagers out. They would have succeeded if it had been for Noelle who protected all the villagers with a single spell. That's how she earned her star and I earned my stars by defeating every one of the terrorist mages." He explains shocking Mimosa and earning a grin from Yuno.

'I'd expect nothing least from you, Asta.' Yuno thought.

"Liar!" Klaus shouts.

"Believe what you want to believe. Just know that the Wizard King asked for us directly." Asta says.

"Another transparent lie." Klaus says.

'Okay this guy is really staring to piss me off.' Asta thought growling lowly.

"Come to think of it…I heard there were three of you here. Where's the other one?" Klaus asks. "Don't tell me he left you and fled home. Or has he already fallen prey to a trap spell?" He asks.

"…" Asta and Noelle remain silent.

"Hah!" Klaus laughs taking their silence to mean he was right.

[Deeper in the dungeon]

"Oho!" Luck laughs happily bursting through a wall and continues running through the hallway at high speed but then senses something. "Next, turn left…I can't wait to find out…oh boy oh boy…how strong these guys are! Ah ha ha!" He laughs excitedly.

[Back in the warped part of the dungeon]

'We can't say he just left us and went off somewhere…' Noelle thought.

"You're right he did leave us." Asta says shocking Noelle.

'WHAT?!' Noelle thought in completely shock.

"After setting off all the traps in this room and allowing me to destroy them he sensed some enemy mages deeper in the dungeon and went to confront them while Noelle, Nero and I made our way to the treasure room." Asta says.

'Wow. That actually is what happened and sounds better than the way I would have explained it.' Noelle thought blushing at Asta's words and how well he explained the situation without making Luck look bad.

"Hah. Like a mere Black Bull would be able to handle a group of Diamond mages by himself." Klaus says arrogantly glaring down at Asta.

'Oh boy, Asta's about to snap like the little kid his is.' Yuno thought observing his foster brother.

"Alright then, bring it on. I bet the Black Bulls will be to ones to capture this dungeon first." Asta says calmly.

'Wow, he's really changed.' Yuno thought.

"Just you wait, you group with the weird masked boss!" Asta shouts as his personality does a 180 in an instant.

'Or not.' Yuno thought with a blank look on his face.

'Even though I'm in love with him, his personality can really change fast.' Noelle thought rubbing temples.

"Weird mask…?" Klaus asks calmly. "You scum! Are you mocking our sublime captain Vangeance?!" He asks shouting. "In any case, your captain is the weird one! Why all those muscles?! Why the tank top?! And what's with you and that open shirt and jacket?! What's with that indecent look?!" He asks loudly.

"Nero, what's wrong with my look? Noelle seems to like it." Asta says to his Anti-Bird on his crush's shoulders.

"I think he's just jealous." Nero says.

'I don't like your outfit, I love it because I get to stare at your hot body like a piece of eye candy.' Noelle thought with a dreamy look on her face that no one but Nero notices.

'It's only a matter of time before they end up as a couple.' Nero thought smirking.

"…" Yuno remains silent as he watches the scene in front of him. 'Talk about wasting time…' He thought observing his senior member arguing with his foster brother.

"Fine, you fools! We'll show you the difference between the top Magic Knights group and you dregs! Mimosa!" Klaus shouts fixing his glasses again.

"Okay!" Mimosa says cheerfully as her grimoire levitates in front of her opening to a certain page and plants begin forming on the floor in front of her. "Plant Creation Magic: Magic Flower Guidepost." She says.

As multiple vines gather around the are in front of Mimosa, they start to intertwine with each other. Flower petals sprout from the tip of the intertwining vines. The flower petals are light-colored with several dark-colored spots covering the area. The flower then displays a three-dimensional blueprint of the dungeon's layout in the form of a hologram in the center of the flower petals.

"Ummmm…mm-hm, mm-hm. All right. I know the rough layout of this dungeon." Mimosa says.

"Yuno!" Klaus shouts.

"Right." Yuno says as his grimoire opens up. "Wind Creation Magic: Heavenly Wind Ark." He says as he manifests a gust of wind and then shapes it into an ark-like vessel that is about to carry all three Golden Dawn members.

"Try as best you can. Hah!" Klaus laughs mockingly.

"…He's carrying three people easily!" Noelle shouts in shock.

'Impressive as always…Yuno!' Asta thought with a large smile.

[Flashback]

"Let's see who…becomes the Wizard King!" Asta and Yuno shout fist bumping each other with their grimoires in their hands.

[End Flashback]

'Let's see which of us gets to the treasure hall first!' Asta thought beginning to run after the three.

"AAAARGH! And?! What are we going to do?! We don't have any tracking spells!" Noelle yells.

"We don't need any tracking spells. As a dragon slayer my sense of smell is stronger than any a normal human's. I'll track them down by following Yuno's scent." Asta explains amazing Noelle.

"Wow. It must be nice having that form of lost magic." Noelle says sounding slightly jealous but then more traps spells are set off causing goo like monsters to rise from the floor.

"Whoa! Look out!" Asta shouts destroying one that got close to his crush and then lifts her by her thighs and jumps onto a high ledge.

"Thank you for the save." Noelle says as she slides off his shoulder but rest against his body from comfort and protection.

"You're welcome." Asta smiles as he holds her close, putting his hand on her waist. "Now I still have Yuno's scent but it's getting fainter the further he gets. We need to find a way to move on before I loss it completely." He says looking around and Noelle does as well.

"Asta." Nero calls out as he turns to see his Anti-Bird flapping in front of a doorway.

"Nice work, buddy." Asta says and then crouches down a bit in front of Noelle. "Hop on." He says gesturing to his back.

"What?!" Noelle asks blushing madly.

"It'll be faster if I'm the one doing the running, so you just hold on tightly to me and I'll get us moving as fast as possible.

Noelle wasn't sure at first but reluctantly agrees as she rests against Asta's back and wraps her arms around his neck. Asta then bursts from the ground with a powerful jump and once he hits the doorway entrance he takes of like a rocket with Noelle closing her eyes tightly in fright with Nero flying beside them.

[Meanwhile with the Golden Dawn members]

"Hah…the fools…as if they could ever defeat us." Klaus boasts. "What was he, anyway? I couldn't sense any magic at all." He says.

"You're right." Mimosa says still using her Magic Plant Guidepost spell.

"Taking on a boy like that…what is the Black Bulls captain thinking?" Klaus wonders.

"Judging by the way you're talking I'm guessing you didn't notice that Asta had two grimoires on him." Yuno says.

"What?! Two grimoires?!" Klaus asks in complete shock.

"That's amazing and unheard of." Mimosa comments.

"Well Asta tends to make the unheard of heard of, so if I were you Klaus…I wouldn't underestimate him. Because he's not what he appears to be." Yuno smirks.

"…!" Klaus is caught off guard by Yuno remark. 'You forsaken realm peasant…' He thought. "Hah! Hopefully he gets out of this dungeon alive!" He shouts. 'You may have a four-leaf clover, but don't think I've accepted you yet!' He thought. "I'm trying to capture this dungeon as quickly as possible, for my country's sake.

[Clover Kingdom's Royal Palace]

"A message for the Wizard King! The Golden Dawn and Black Bull Magic Knights have begun to explore the dungeon…" A mage says kneeling before the Wizard King. "…And we have confirmed the invasion of mage troops from the Diamond Kingdom!" He shouts. "The Diamond Kingdom is our Clover Kingdom's neighbor! A country of invaders that has been striving to expand its territory in recent years!" The mage explains. "If the dungeon's ancient magic falls into the hands of a country like that, things could get ugly!" The mage says causing everyone in the room to murmur.

"How strong is the enemy force?!" Another mage asks.

"The enemy is led by Lotus Whomalt of the Abyss!" The first mage shouts.

"Lotus Whomalt of the Abyss! The Lotus…?" Another mage asks.

"Ah! I met him on the battlefield years back! He was tough! He use fascinating magic too…" The Wizard King says carefree.

"This is no time for carefree words, your majesty!" The mage shouts.

"William seems to have sent an interesting boy as well. It's fine. No worries. Our kids…are tough too." The Wizard King says seriously.

[Dungeon]

"…Huh." Luck says holding up one of the Diamond mages by the face with his magic.

"Ugk…" A Diamond mage groans in pain.

"You guys are weak." Luck says and then turns his head. "But…you aren't, are you?" He asks seeing a man resting on a pile of rubble.

"Wow…you got me there. Nothing good comes of making the hurdles too high." The man known as Lotus Whomalt says. "Energetic young power…is frightening stuff." He comments.

Lotus is a hairy middle-age man with medium-length black hair. He also sports a mustache and a goatee, which only covers his chin. One of his notable features is a huge scar, in a shape of a straight line, that crosses his upper left chest to his lower right chest. Additionally, he wears a headpiece on his forehead, which has three diamond-shaped ornaments, positioned to the right side of his forehead. Lotus' attire consists of a tunic and of trousers. His light-colored tunic is loose and has a large v-shaped collar that showcases his chest. On top of his tunic, Lotus wears a three-way black belt, which is supported by his right shoulder. His trousers are light-colored and two black fabrics protrude from the waist to his tights with diamond-shaped ornaments at the end. Furthermore, Lotus also wears a pair of black boots with furry collars. Lastly, Lotus wears a coat over his attire. The coat is divided into two colors where it has light-colored fabric for his torso and sleeves while the cuffs and the rest of the coat are dark-colored. Both black lapels have three diamond-shaped ornaments on them.
