Chapter 22: Assembly at the Royal Capital

A week had past since Asta, Noelle, and Luck had taken on the dungeon with the Golden Dawn members; Yuno, Mimosa, and Klaus. In that week, Noelle and Luck had shown their new magic to their squad mates, trained to master their new magic, and Noelle learned some surprises about her new magic as well. Asta, who had been resting for the past week to recover from his injuries he received from Mars, was finally awake and all the Black Bull members minus the captain were gathered in the dining room.

"WHAT?!" Asta shout was heard from outside the Black Bull HQ. "I seriously slept for a whole week?" He asks in shock.

"Really, I swear. Must everything be dramatic with you?" Noelle asks sitting beside him at the table causing Vanessa to laugh.

"Our poor Noelle. Little miss Sea Dragon Slayer was so worried about you, kiddo. I don't know how many times she checked in on you." Vanessa says teasing the 15-year-old with her new nickname.

"She checked on you ever morning and night. Even before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Plus, there was also when she-" Nero began to say.

"Nero Silvantus, you stay out of this and just eat your seeds!" Noelle shouts, her face scarlet red from what hers and Asta's Anti-Bird nearly said. "Besides, I wasn't worried, I was just wondering what would happen if he never woke up. That's all." She says.

"Hate to tell you but I think they call that worrying." Finral says sitting beside her.

"I really appreciate you check up on me, so thanks Noelle." Asta says smiling at his crush making her smile too.

"Well you obviously needed the rest. You know, concurring a dungeon and getting a major wound in the gut will really take it out of a guy. Plus, the fact that Noelle and Luck came back as Lost Magic users was a big surprise as well." Magna says not knowing he spoke over a muttering Gordon.

"I'll say but it worked out well for Noelle since she no longer has problems controlling her magic now. However, Luck's thirst for fighting has grown a lot more now that he's a Lightning God Slayer." Finral says.

"Well I still think a week is a little excessive." Noelle says.

"But you've never been physical injured that bad before, have you Noelle?" Nero says to his second partner/owner.

"I guess you right, Nero." Noelle says smiling at her bird.

"Enough of this boring chit-chat. Think of my goddess, Marie, would she enjoy such dull conversation?" Gauche asks getting a slight nose-bleed while staring at a picture of his little sister. "Not one bit. I need something interesting to tell her. Like a story, I only have 3,210." He says.

"And that's not enough to tied her over for a while? How many stories does one girl need?" Finral asks sweat dropping.

"So, how are you? That stomach wound all healed up? Are you ready to take me on? Can we fight to see which Slayer Magic is better?" Luck asks doing some air punches at Asta.

"I don't think it's completely healed yet." Asta says clutching his stomach wound that is now a scar that can be seen through his repaired clothing. "Although maybe, I'm just really hungry." He says slouching a little.

"Hey everybody, hope you brought your appetites cause the Sheep Cooks' breakfast is ready!" Charmy shouts happily carrying a large plate of food with three Sheep Cooks following behind her also carrying food.

A second later Asta begins stuffing his mouth with as much food as he can.

"Oh wow, this is delicious!" Asta mutters through his stuffed mouth until he starts choking.

"Will you slow down? That's disgusting." Noelle says holding out a glass of water for him to wash the food down with.

"Thank…you." Asta says accepting the glass and drinks it up before immediately going back to eating.

"Honestly, you eat like an animal." Noelle says feeling slightly depressed. 'How did I fall in love with someone like him?' She asks herself.

"Hey now, the kiddo needs his sustenance to recover. Wine to wash it down?" Vanessa says offering a bottle of wine to him.

"Sure, cause that'll help. But he could also get the same result by just eating iron, ice, or lightning." Noelle says as she drinks her water.

"So goooood." Asta says crying slight from the goodness of the food.

"That's it! Don't be shy! Show them how its done, Asta! The Sheep Cooks love a guy who knows how to eat." Charmy cheers as her Sheep Cooks cheer as well.

Suddenly the door into the dining area is destroyed as the Black Bull's captain enters after kicking the door open.

"Gonna grab some chow then its back to bed." Yami says with a yawn.

"Oh hey Captain Yami. Good morning." Charmy says waving to her captain.

"GOOD MORNING CAPTAIN YAMI, SIR!" Magna yells standing up from his seat.

"Hey captain, how's it going?" Asta asks.

"So kid, looks like you finally woke up. Didn't die after all." Yami says taking his seat at the table.

"Nope, still alive, sir." Asta says grinning a dragon-like grin.

"Well good job out there. Even if you did get yourself wrecked again." Yami says laughing. "Good news because of your performances in the dungeon, the Wizard King awarded us 9 stars. Three for you, kid, three for Noelle, and three for you, Luck." He says shocking the three of them. "Right, now then, Knights Headquarters wants a report on the dungeon ASAP, so if you can walk you're going. Plus there's an event taking place there that both you and Noelle are taking part in." He says.

"An event?" Asta asks with a confused look on his face.

"What kind of event?" Noelle asks equally confused as Asta.

"It's a surprise. You two worked hard for so be proud of ourselves." Yami says.

"Oh, at Knights Headquarters?" Luck asks. 'I bet there are lots of tough guys there. I can try out my new magic on them. I wonder how many I can fight?' He wonders.

"I that look on your face and it means trouble. No way your going." Yami says.

"Awe." Luck whines in disappointment.

"I'm sending you out on a battle mission with Magna babysitting. That way you can test your new magic all you want." Yami says.

"A battle mission?" Luck asks instantly perking up. "We'll make a great team, right Magna?" He asks holding his hand out.

"Uh…what's with you? How can I be sure you're really Luck? You could be great in disguise." Magna asks but then hears Grey hiss from two seats down. "Never mind." He quickly says realizing his mistake.

"Me! Me! Over here! I'll go then!" Charmy says happily. "What sort of yummy things are waiting in the Noble Realm…?" She asks.

"Uh, no. How could you go? All you do every day is eat." Yami says.

"La?!" Charmy asks in shock. "Laaaa!" She stomps off before getting an idea. "Laaaaa…" She says skipping out of the room.

"Captain sir, I'm sorry but I can go. I'm busy writing letters to Marie." Gauche says.

"Okay, it's not like anyone asked you to go anyway." Yami says unaware that Gordon was muttering something.

A few hour later Asta and Noelle arrive in the Noble Realm, a city that is placed atop the tallest mountain within the Clover Kingdom. A wall separates it from the rest of the Noble Region and a magic barrier protects it. Within the city are the king's castle and the Magic Knights Headquarters.

"Amazing, I knew it was big, but I never knew it was this huge." Asta says in amazement.

"Yeah but once you've seen it it'll get boring pretty fast." Noelle says with Nero on her shoulder.

"Oh yeah, you use to live in the Noble Realm didn't you, Noelle." Asta asks as they begin walking towards Knights Headquarters…wherever it was.

"Yeah but when my family learned I couldn't control my magic they basically shunned me." Noelle says. 'That is except for her.' She thought remembering the only person who showed her any kindness in her family.

"Well that's all changed now that you're a Sea Dragon Slayer. Your magic control is absolutely perfect, and you've gained even more power as well. Like the captain said you should be proud of yourself." Asta says smiling at her.

"Thanks, Asta." Noelle says blushing really hard. 'Okay, now I remember how I feel in love with him.' She thought smiling.

"Okay now here's a question; do any of you two know where we are going?" Nero asks causing the two Magic Knight's eyes to widen in shock.

"Uh…that's a good question. Where are we supposed to go?" Asta asks.

"Wait I thought you knew." Noelle says a little loudly.

"How am I supposed to know? I've never been here before." Asta says loudly back to her.

The two continue walking and their loud conversation caught the attention of some old companions; the Golden Dawn members Yuno, Mimosa, and Klaus.

"Oh it's them." Mimosa says spotting Asta and Noelle behind them.

"Hey check it out. It's the members of the Golden Dawn." Asta says as he, Noelle, and Nero make their way over to them.

"Hey, we haven't seen you since the dungeon, Asta. I assume you've come to make your report too." Klaus says as he walks up to him. "Is your wound all healed up?" He asks placing his hand on Asta's shoulder.

"Yeah. All that's left of it now is a new battle scar and after plenty of food and rest I always bounce back." Asta says with a grin.

"Such a child." Yuno says softly.

"Iron Dragon's Club." Asta says turning his right arm into an iron club and stretches it out quickly towards his younger brother.

"Ugh." Yuno grunts in pain as Asta had hit him in the stomach.

"Don't forget even though we're the same age, you're still younger than me, Yuno." Asta says but then spots Mimosa behind both Klaus and Yuno. "Oh, it's also thanks to your magic. So, thank you, Mimosa." He says but then she suddenly runs away. "Huh? What's wrong? Why'd she run away?" He questions at her sudden retreat.

"She was probably shocked to see how much shorter your arm is than she imagined it would be." Yuno says and swiftly steps out of the way of Asta's Iron Dragon's Club attack. "Not this time, big brother. Agh. Not again." Yuno says clutching his stomach in pain as another club sprouted from the main club.

"Ha! Two for two." Asta says smirking. "By the way what's with that outfit?" He asks.

Yuno's attire has changed drastically. He now wears a light-colored leopard-patterned kimono that only covers the right half of his torso, beneath which he wears armor that is light in the chest but dark everywhere else; the neck of the armor coils around his own and fastens there appropriately with his necklace still hanging from his neck, and his left arm is left uncovered at the shoulder. Around his waist is a very long sash that ties on the right side of his body and loops around the left and holds a design-adorned piece of white fabric in place over the top of his loose, black pants. Around Yuno's left forearm is a black band that has a white ring over the wrist; he completes his outfit with black ankle boots, within which his pants are tucked. He still wore his Golden Dawn signature squad robe over his new attire.

Noelle ignores the two fighting brothers and walks up to her cousin, who was now about a block or two away from the guys, to check on her.

"What's wrong, Mimosa?" Noelle asks but then hear her release a deep breath. "You alright?" She asks again.

"I don't know what to do. Please help me." Mimosa says placing her hands on her blushing face. "It's…um…Asta, whenever I see him I get this weird feeling in my chest. Since that day in the dungeon he's all I can ever seem to think about." She says as Noelle stares at her. "It's awful. I don't know what's gonna into me." She says.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Noelle practically screams in shock.

"But the way I just ran from him…do you think he's going to hate me now?" Mimosa asks.

"What can you possible see in him?! He's a low born, little brain, loud mouth peasant!" Noelle says trying to cover up her own feelings for Asta at the same time she was belittling him.

"Eh heh heh. I think those things are all just part of his charm, honestly." Mimosa says giggling. "So much life in such a compact package. Heh heh." She says giggling. "Could this be…?" She begins to ask before squealing.

"No, no, no. Not that muscle-bound freak!" Noelle shouts. 'Great. So its official now. Mimosa has fallen in love with my Asta. This is just prefect. What am I going to do?' She wonders before realizing something she read in her grimoire. 'Wait that's right. Dragon Slayers are basically like dragons and because of that male dragons and dragon slayers are about to have multiple mates. But would Asta be willing to have more than one girlfriend and to be more exact will I be able to handle him dating other girls?' She wonders.

"AAAAAAH!" Noelle and Mimosa moan at the same time; both having different thoughts about the same subject, Asta.

"What's all the moaning about?" Klaus wonders.

"Maybe their heads are hurting." Asta guess but unaware to both Klaus and Yuno he had heard the girls conversation and their rapidly beating heartbeats. 'So not only does Noelle have feelings for me but Mimosa does as well?' He thought blushing slightly.

A few minutes later the group continue on their way to Knights Headquarters.

"Knights Headquarters ought to be just through here." Klaus says guiding the group.

"Guess there are somethings even you don't know, huh Four-Eyes?" Asta asks.

"Even we four-eyes don't know everything." Klaus says accepting his new nickname.

'Guess somewhere along the line he just accepted his new nickname.' Yuno thought.

'Wow, look at how much better he's treating Asta.' Mimosa thought with a smile.

"Anyway, we don't often come to headquarters so its easy to forget." Klaus says but then gasps along with Mimosa and Noelle for standing in front of them was someone of great importance. "No is that really…?" He begins to ask before kneeling for the man. "I never dreamed you would greet us personally sir." He says as Mimosa and Noelle also kneel before the man as well while Asta and Yuno stare in confusion.

"He's flashy. Who do you think this guy is?" Asta asks Yuno while noticing the man's outfit.

"You FOOL! You are in the presence of the current Wizard King, Lord Julius Novachrono!" Klaus shouts shocking both boys to their cores before Klaus pulls Asta down to make him kneel.

'This man is the current…' Yuno began to think.

'Wizard King!' Asta thought glancing up at the man.

A while later Julius had lead the group of Magic Knights to Knights Headquarters and at the moment they were all gathered in an open tower. Currently Julius was observing Yuno's grimoire.

"I'm pleased you were able to obtain this. This magic is very powerful. It could easily be that dungeon's greatest relic." Julius says.

"You can really read it, sir?" Yuno asks in shock.

"A little of it, yes." Julius says.

"Greatest relic in there…how cool is that?" Asta asks patting Yuno on the back.

"Say would you perform this spell for me now?! Please! I'd love to see it!" Julius says giddily.

'He's practically giddy…then the rumors about the Wizard King being a peerless magic fanatic were true!' Klaus thought in shock while adjusting his glasses.

"I'm sorry sir…I believe it somehow active once while we were in the dungeon, but I haven't been able to use it again." Yuno says.

"What?! I see…well. That's a shame." Julius says with a disappointed look on his face. 'Sylph, the Wind Spirit of the four great attributes. So she's chosen him in this era.' He thought. "All I can say for now…is that this spell will grow with you. Someday it will become an extraordinary power. Take good care of it." He says.

"Wizard King, Yuno's grimoire isn't that only one to have weird writing in it. Please have a look at this." Asta says holding out his Anti-Magic grimoire to the man.

"Don't be impertinent." Klaus says but stops while Julius holds his hand up.

"…" Julius remains silent as he observes Asta's Anti-Magic grimoire. "That's…!" He begins to say. "I can't read it at all." He says shocking Asta. "I've never even seen this writing in documents." He says and then watches as Asta pulls out his second Anti-Magic sword.

"And this comes out of it." Asta says holding up the weapon. "What do you think, sir?" He asks.

"Whoa! A second Anti-Magic sword! That's excellent." Julius says in awe.

"Heh heh heh heh! I got mine to come out." Asta says teasingly to Yuno.

"Oh…the power of Anti-Magic. May I…do you think I can hold it?" Julius asks giddily, again.

"Knock yourself out." Asta says holding the sword by its blade towards Julius so he could grip the handle.

"Thank you so…wow man! It's heavy!" Julius shouts unable to lift the sword.

"Really? It's as light as a feather to me. But are you okay?" Asta asks with concern.

"I'm impressed you can swing this thing around…!" Julius begins to say before noticing something. 'My magic power…it's being sucked away.' He thought before smiling. "Now I understand. Thanks for letting me take a look. Here you go." He says handing the sword back to Asta. "I think you better hold onto it. You may be the only one who can. It's too much for me to handle but you can wield it because of a few things; one, your ability to cancel out your magic power and two, your magic power is steadily growing every day thanks too you're Lost Magic, Elemental Dragon Slayer Magic." He says.

"So I was right." Asta says smirking.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Julius asks confused as was everyone else.

"I knew your sense was familiar because I've smelled it the first time Noelle and I visited the Black Market. You were that old woman we helped, that's the only way you could know able my ability to cancel out my magic power and that I have multiple Dragon Slayer Magics." Asta says.

"Ha ha ha ha! I guess there's no fooling the nose of a Dragon Slayer huh? Speaking of Lost Magic, I heard that Yami's squad gained two more Lost Magic users, Noelle Silva who became a Sea Dragon Slayer and Luck Voltia who became a Lightning God Slayer. Plus there's the fact that you created a new Dragon Slayer Magic, Asta, Lightning Dragon Slayer. If you two would be so kind as to perform a little demo for me, please?" Julius asks giddily, again.

"Well I suppose so." Noelle says blushing slightly.

"No problem. Let's go with the basic move every dragon slayer can do, Noelle, the roar." Asta says walking over to the edge of the open tower. "Lightning Dragon Slayer Mode!" He shouts as Noelle stands beside him as his Dragon Slayer grimoire opens to a certain page.

"Sounds good to me." Noelle says as her grimoire opens to a certain page as well.

"Lightning Dragon's…" Asta begins to say as lightning began to gather in his mouth.

"Sea Dragon's…." Noelle begins to say as water began to gather in her mouth.

"Roar!" Asta and Noelle shout as they release a blast of their respective elements forward, giving off huge amounts of power.

"Incredible!" Julius says giddily.

"What incredible power!" Klaus says in awe.

"Amazing!" Mimosa says clasping her hands together. 'I wonder if I can become a dragon slayer.' She wonders.

"He's past me once again." Yuno says softly.

As the two dragon slayers finish their demonstration Asta releases his magic mode as his hair returns to normal.

"I must say that was an amazing display. My I ask how your magic change from Water Magic to Sea Dragon Slayer Magic, Noelle?" Julius asks as the two walk back over.

"Well in the treasure hall of there was a small stream of water filled with mana and when I followed it I found two scrolls. One that when I touched it, it wrapped around my grimoire and transformed into what it is now and this one…" Noelle says pulling out the second scroll from her grimoire pouch. "Although I haven't been able to open it." She says.

"Hmm maybe it'll choose someone on it's own like your scroll choose you." Julius says to her. "At any rate, wonderful work! Well done!" He says.

"Uhhh…ummm…c-c-c-could I ask you something?!" Asta stutters to asks.

"Ask me what?" Julius asks.

"…" Asta remains silent for a second.

"How does one…" Asta and Yuno begin to say. "…get to be the Wizard King?!" They ask.

"Ha ha ha! I see! So the two of you are looking to become the Wizard King, are you?" Julius asks laughing. "Not surprising. All Magic Knights should be that ambitious!" He says happily.

"You two must realize how rude it is to ask a question like that so directly." Klaus says. "Now listen, the Wizard King have a noble hear and the deep trust of all his people." He says fixing his glasses.

"No Klaus. It's merit." Julius says seriously shocking Asta and Yuno. "You can't protect the people with pride alone. Trust comes after you've built up your reputation. People want just one thing from the Wizard King. Achievements that mark you as the strongest. Produce results. Devote yourselves to building a reputation that's everything. No one who's unable to do that could ever stand at the top!" He says.

"Bring it on!" Asta and Yuno say with determination.

'Your newbies have some determined eyes…William…Yami…' Julius thought. "All right! As a matter of fact, we're holding a Distinguished Service Ceremony for the Magic Knights who've been awarded an outstanding number of stars today. Asta and Noelle, you two are taking part in this along with Yuno and Mimosa." He says shocking everyone there. "You four we're the last one's we are waiting on so, let's get going, shall we?" He asks and then begins guiding the group out of the tower.

A while later, Julius leads the group down a hallway where there were hooded Magic Knights lined up on both sides of the hall.

"All right, here we are." Julius says arriving at their location. "Can you…" He begins to ask as the doors open to reveal ten people gathered in the room. "…give me better results than they have?" He asks.

The ten Magic Knights gathered were all from different squad. Three of them were from the Golden Dawn and one of them was Alecdora Sandler. Three were from the Silver Eagle and one of them was the captain, Nozel Silva. Two were from the Blue Rose and one of them was the captain, Charlotte Roselei. The final two were from the Crimson Lion and one of them was the captain, Fuegoleon Vermillion.

Author's Note: Hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of Arc 3. The next chapter is where I add my own twist to the story, so be prepared.

Please be sure to review and tell me what you think.

Also, someone recently asked if Asta and Noelle will have the dragon seed inside them and the answer is no. But in place of it I will be giving them something interesting to look forward too.
