Author's Note: Hope you all enjoyed the last chapter as well as the surprises I made for Asta and Noelle. I feel like they deserve more credit for what they do then what they receive in the regular story. I have another surprise for Asta in this chapter and an explanation for it as well. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.

I also had some ask me if I was planning on adding lemons to this story and I want to know if you all think I should.

Chapter 24: Capital Riot

It was a quiet, peaceful day in the fields outside of the Noble Realm as two man were observing it from afar. One man was sitting on a tree root while the other was standing behind him.

The man sitting was a 21-year-old of average height with long, messy, light purple hair and a blue eye. He wears a dark red bandages that covers his forehead and left eye with a light green eye ornament on top of the latter. Similar bandages are also tightly wrapped around his neck with the tattered end dangles in front of him. His attire consists of a dark red tank top with a right sleeve and trousers of similar color. In addition, he also wears an elbow sleeve and a glove on his left arm. Moreover, he wears a big belt around his waist with a strap attached to it on both sides. He also wears a dark-colored bracelet on his right arm and two light-colored stripes on each of them. Lastly, he wears a tattered cape that covers his body. The cape is held together by a button on his right shoulder.

"Stupid." The man says with a sigh. "No, its wrong. I mean me of all people. How could they even consider kicking me out, you know?" He asks scratching the back of his head. "I have more magic power than any royalty and they just toss me aside like garbage. It doesn't make sense, magic is supposed to be everything, right?" He asks turning to the other man who was actually a corpse that was somehow moving and moaning. "Mock me?! How dare they!" He yells as a black portal opens up on the ground behind him and a cloaked figure appears from it.

"Do you have an audience for your incessant rambling?" The cloaked man asks.

"Eh…just talking to myself." The man says.

"Everything is in place now." The cloaked man says.

"Alright. Just wait knights of the Clover Kingdom. You'll soon see my power and all its glory." The man says clinching his fist around the castle like he was crushing it.

Meanwhile back in the banquet hall, everyone was still in shock at Asta declaration as they all remain silent.

'You idiot!' Klaus thought with his mouth hanging open.

"Asta." Noelle says quietly while Mimosa stares at her crush in awe and shock.

'This commoner this he can become the Wizard King?' Nebra wonders as she stares at him.

"Not a chance." Yuno says to himself smirking at his brother's declaration.

"You become the Wizard King? A mere commoner?" Alecdora asks with a glare.

"Keh heh…keh heh heh heh…keh…YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING!" Solid yells laughing as his grimoire opens to a certain page. "Water Restraining Magic: Sea Serpent Twine!" He yells creating a serpent-shaped water thread and launches towards Asta.

Nebra was scoffs and reaches for her new grimoire until she felt a hand on her wrist and turns to see Noelle. She stares in shock as her sister shakes her head and gestures towards to the fight. Nebra looks to see Asta remaining calm as his Anti-Magic grimoire hovers beside him and he pulls out his second Anti-Magic sword slashing the water serpent causing the spell to nullify.

"Impossible!" Solid growls as his grimoire flips pages.

"Try this." Alecdora says pulling himself off the wall as his grimoire opens. "Sand Magic: Crushing Sand Clod!" He shouts generates a large block of sand above Asta and prepares to drop it on him.

'Iron Dragon Slayer Mode.' Asta thought switching his magic and impales his Anti-Magic sword into the table. "Iron Dragon's Sword!" He shouts transforming his arm into a large jagged iron blade and slices the clod in two. 'Ice Dragon Slayer Mode.' He thought switching his magic once again and freezes the two clods solid as he pulls out his Anti-Magic broadsword and swings the flat of the blade against the frozen clods launching at both Alecdora and Solid.

Both Alecdora and Solid manage to shield themselves with their magic before the two frozen objects can hit them.

'Impressive, Asta.' Yuno thought watching his brother use his magic flawlessly.

'Even though he never had magic for the first 15 years of his life, he's using it like he's a natural born prodigy.' Noelle thought blushing.

'Asta is so incredible.' Mimosa thought with a squeal.

'Unbelievable, he's able to fight a noble and a royal without missing a step.' Klaus thought in amazement.

'Possessing two grimoires, a huge amount of magic power, and fight on par against two Magic Knights? Just who is this commoner?' Nebra wonders.

'So, the rumors are true.' Alecdora thought as he glared at Asta. 'He does possess powerful magic and it seems to be dominating ours. Not to mention I saw him using three different attributes and that's impossible. Plus he has the ability to erase magic with those swords. This kid…just what kind of commoner is he?' He wonders. "We'll take him." He says as his grimoire flips through its pages. 'His Anti-Magic has limited range and that Lost Magic of his seems to be all about physical attacks which means we have nothing to fear.' He thought.

'Sand and water. I wonder if one will become a new element for me. I couldn't eat Noelle's water because it was far stronger than her dumbass brother. Maybe that's why I couldn't eat it.' Asta thought lowering his guard slightly.

"Sand Creation Magic: Sand Armor Guard." Alecdora says summoning a sentry-like golem which consists entirely of sand behind Asta that restrains him.

"He's in trouble!" Mimosa gasped as she watched with concern next to Klaus and Noelle.

"Is this necessary? I'm sure he's learned his lesson." Klaus says wanting the battle to end before someone really got hurt.

"Did I ask for your opinion?" Alecdora asks not wanting any back talk from his inferior.

"No…sir." Klaus replies, recoiling slightly until he heard Asta chuckling. "Asta?" He asks in confusion.

"Don't worry, Klaus. Besides, I'm having fun." Asta says grinning his dragon grin.

"Such behavior is inexcusable." Alecdora says gazing upon Asta's trapped form. "Especially during such a grand ceremony's banquet such as this. And you're having fun while awaiting punishment?" He asks.

"Answer me this; before when I made my declaration, you tried to use your magic on me but were too slow. So, how in the world did you manage to trap me when I could've easily done the same thing I did last time?" Asta asks making Alecdora's eyes wide for a second until Solid stepped forward and stood next to him.

"Now, now, why so gentle? Don't tell me the Golden Dawn's getting soft, Alecdora. He's obviously bluffing. He only got lucky last time he managed to escape your little sand box. Plus, restraining him is not enough. Any guy who's that high on himself needs to be taught a physical lesson…" Solid begins to say as his grimoire flips its pages and gathers streams of water together to create a large bullet, aiming to maim Asta to a certain degree. "…so that he never makes another mess on the rug!" He says loudly.

'What are you planning on doing, Asta?' Noelle wonders moving her hand towards her grimoire.

"This will shut that mouth of yours for good!" Solid says as a glint of madness appeared in his eyes.

"Solid, don't do it!" Nebra yells preparing to pull out her grimoire as did Noelle and Yuno.

"Water Creation Magic: Holy Water Assassination Bullet!" Solid yells launching the bullet towards Asta.

Asta remained calm as he looked to his Dragon Slayer grimoire and saw it flip to a blank page causing him to grin.

"You are an absolute moron." Asta says busting his arms out of the Armored Sand Guard and grips the Holy Water Assassination Bullet.

"What?!" Solid questions in complete shock as he watch Asta halt him attack and began devouring it like it was food.

'He's eating…the water bullet?' Nebra thought in confusion and slight awe.

[Flashback]

"Doesn't matter if you've obtained some weird ancient magic like that commoner. You're still a record-breaking embarrassment who can't even control her magic properly!" Solid shouts. "That's why you were practically exiled from House Silva! I'm surprised you had the nerve to return to the Noble Realm!" He shouts.

[End Flashback]

Those words Asta recalled what Solid had said about Noelle made him angrier than he already was as he finished consuming Solid's water attack and his hair then gained blue highlights in it.

[When a potential mate for a Dragon Slayer is threatened it causes something to awaken inside of them. It was the insults towards Noelle from her brother, Solid, that forcible caused Asta to created a new form of Dragon Slayer Magic.]

"Now I'm gonna say this one last time; apologize to Noelle! And if you won't do it willingly, then I'll force you to do it with this…Water Dragon Slayer Mode!" Asta yells as his burst of magic power destroys the Armored Sand Guard surrounding him.

Solid stood there staring at Asta in the eyes and could see the reptilian slits in them causing him to tremble as his brain was telling him he was staring at a monster.

'My body. It's trembling…from fear?' Solid thought. 'How can he do this to me? I am royalty! My magic power makes me superior to this…commoner!' He thought angrily. "You'll pay for embarrassing me, you ratty little peasant!" He yells.

"Like I care what you think." Asta says in a low tone as his grimoire flips through the new spells pages in the Water Dragon Slayer section. "Water Dragon's…." He begins to say as he engulfs his entire body in water and propels himself upwards into the air. "Crash Dive!" He shouts as he then dives downwards at Solid with great speed and crashes into him with powerful force causing a crater to form under him in the process while also propelling him back up into the air too. "Water Dragon's…" He begins to say as he engulfs his fist in spiraling water. "Iron Fist!" He yells punching Solid in the gut, causing, aside from sheer blunt damage, propulsive damage as well, sending him crashing into the wall above the ground. 'Ice Dragon Slayer Mode.' He thought switching his magic and rockets himself towards Solid, gripping him by his outstretched arms. "You need to chill out." He say creating ice restraints on Solid's wrists and ankles, leaving him in a crucified state on the wall.

"How dare you humiliate me like this!" Solid shouts struggling to break free from his restraints as he glares down at Asta, who was standing on a table. "I will not be bested by the likes of you!" He yells.

"Solid, just stop." Nebra says catching his attention. "You called Noelle the embarrassment of House Silva when you're just proving your actually the embarrassment." She says shaking her head and rubbing her forehead to sooth the impending headache.

"Asta…" Noelle begins to say walking up to him. "You don't have to go this far for me." She says.

"Yes I do, Noelle, you worked hard to get here, and you don't deserve the slander your bastard brother is giving you." Asta says making her blush and her heart began beating really fast. "Now say it." He says glaring at Solid.

"Never." Solid growls knowing what Asta meant.

"Fine…" Asta begins to say readying himself to use one of his more powerful spells.

However, in that moment, a strong source of magic power suddenly filled the banquet hall and stopped the battle before it could continue. The only sound coming from the room were footsteps as they neared to two Magic Knights. Asta turned his head and saw it was Noelle's oldest brother, Nozel Silva, with a straight but deadly look on his face walking towards them. Noelle, Klaus, Mimosa, and Nebra were put into a state of fear as they took a few steps back as he continued to approach Asta and Solid.

"Nozel! What are you doing?!" Solid asked, wanting to finish the battle even if he couldn't break free from his restraints.

"Enough, Solid. You shouldn't have been so quick to waste your magic on a commoner such as this." Nozel says acting like he wasn't giving off a massive amount of magic power.

"He deserves it though! Look what he's done to me!" Solid argues, referring to the humiliating position Asta left him in.

"I said enough." Nozel said as he continued to look down on his brother, so to speak, while glaring at Asta. "You've already sullied our family name with these childish actions and proving that you a far weaker than a peasant. He hasn't even used his full power against you." He says shocking Solid as it caused him to silence himself.

'The air…it's freezing. This ice-cold pressure…it's different from captain Yami's.' Asta thought as he locked his eyes on Nozel. 'So, this the captain of the Silver Eagles.' He thought continuing to glare at Nozel.

"Release him…now." Nozel orders Asta.

"Fine." Asta growls. 'Water Dragon Slayer Mode.' He thought switching his element magic. "Water Dragon's…" He begins to say as he mimics with his hands the appearance of a gun. "Bullet." He says and then bends slightly his index finger as four powerful piercing bullets of water are fired towards Solid destroying the restraints around his wrists and ankles causing him to crash into the floor.

"A commoner such as you who would dare raise a hand against royalty, I wonder what punishment would be fitting enough for you?" Nozel wondered out loud as he stared at Asta.

The Dragon Slayer gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as he walked up to Nozel and stood right in front of him, giving off his own magic power, almost matching Nozel's power but only a bit.

"Sorry, but I refuse to be punished for speaking the truth." Asta says glaring at Nozel. "Your social standings don't mean anything cause with enough hard work, nothing is impossible, and Noelle has proven that." He says.

Everyone stared at the scene in shock at the Silver Eagle captain and the Anti Dragon Black Bull clash in magic power pressure. Klaus seemed to be breaking into a cold sweat at the amount of power filling the room.

'Now he's involved too?! And Asta is matching him in power?!' Klaus thought in worry. 'This is spinning out of control!' He thought.

Asta continued to stand his ground and got ready to fight as Nozel raised his hand to cast a spell without his grimoire until a voice broke their concentration.

"This has gone far enough!" The voice says.

The voiced caused Nozel to lower his hand and cease his magic power pressure, turning around to see who it was. Asta followed suited as he stopped giving off his magic pressure and released his dragon slayer mode, returning his hair to normal as he gazed upon the captain of the Crimson Lion Magic Knight Squad, Fuegoleon Vermillion.

"What are you thinking ganging up a promising youth like this? Where is your sense of honor?" Fuegoleon asks.

As this was going on, Asta felt someone was looking at him and turned to his right to see Leopold Vermillion, staring at him for a few seconds until he started laughing loudly, surprising everyone.

"It turns out that Mimosa was right. Oh yeah, you are one entertaining kid. Truly one of a kind." Leopold says confusing Asta. "And today is your lucky day because I, Leopold Vermillion, have just made you my rival.

"Huh?" Asta asks still confused as to what the Crimson Lion just said.

"Now what was your name again, Casta or something?" Leopold asks walking up to Asta.

"No Leopold, I told you remember, its Asta." Mimosa says correcting Leopold, not wanting him to embarrass her in front her crush.

"Ha ha, Asta that's right. And a fine name it is, rival of mine." Leopold says patting Asta's shoulder.

"I'm a little confused here." Asta says in confusion.

"Come on, what are you waiting for? This is cause for celebration. Now celebrate." Leopold says seriously.

"Um…whoo-oh." Asta says weakly, still confused.

'Well, at least Asta and Nozel's battle of wits have stopped.' Noelle thought.

"You're related?" Yuno asks.

"Yes, that's right. Fuegoleon and Leopold are my cousins on my father's side. Fuegoleon and Leopold are brothers, my father's elder brother is their father. Oh and you know Noelle is my cousin too. Hers and Nebra's mother were my mother's elder sister." Mimosa explains.

"That's kind of a lot to take in." Yuno says with a blank look on his face.

"Hey um, I appreciate the offer, but I already have a rival. My younger foster brother, Yuno, over there." Asta says gesturing to Yuno who was standing next to a blushing Mimosa.

"Ha ha ha, so it's not like there's a rule says you can only have one rival." Leopold says patting Asta's shoulder.

"Wait are you being serious?" Asta asks. "That maybe be better seeing as how Yuno's only way of challenging me is with his magic considering he's physically weak." He says with a smile.

"Excuse me?" Yuno asks feeling insulted.

"Oh you know it's true. All you've ever done is magical training since we were kids, you never physically trained your body." Asta says causing Yuno to remain silent knowing he was right.

"Now that's more like it." Leopold says continuing to Asta's shoulder until he suddenly stops getting a feel of his muscles. "Oh, your robe covers them up but those are some big muscles you've got there. I'd expect no less from a rival of mine. Now let's have a test of strength with an arm wrestle." He says.

"It's really amazing how dumb guys can be sometimes, huh Char?" Sol asks while talking with her mouth full.

"Where are your manners? Hush." Charlotte says.

"Okay, sorry Char." Sol says still talking with her mouth full.

"You will address me as Captain, Sol." Charlotte says.

"Oh right, sorry about that Char." Sol says.

"Sol." Charlotte says with a slight growl.

"Don't worry it won't happen again. Okay Char." Sol says.

"Well…come on!" Leopold shouts holding his right arm up into the air.

"Alright, let's do it!" Asta shouts enthusiastically.

"That's the spirit, after all its just a friendship arm wrestling death match between rivals." Leopold says equally enthusiastic.

'Strong enough and brave enough to be Leopold's rival. That's my Asta.' Mimosa thought with a blush.

'He maybe be really cute but he's still a muscle-brained idiot.' Noelle thought blushing slightly which Nebra notices.

'Oh seems my dear little sister has herself a crush.' Nebra thought with a smirk.

Various reactions were still being held across the room as Siren and Hamon observed Asta and Leopold.

"This is an awful lot of excitement for a banquet." Hamon says chuckling.

'At least things appear to have calm down.' Klaus thought adjusting his glasses.

"A royal has recognized a commoner as his rival." Nozel says continuing his gaze on Fuegoleon causing Asta and Leopold to halt their little test of strength.

"Remember Nozel the Wizard King himself invited this young man to attend the ceremony because he obtain the required amount of stars to receive a rank like everyone else here. He maybe a commoner but we can still extend him a measure of acceptance." Fuegoleon says.

"I would've never expected to hear such nonsense being spouted by a royal. I'm sorry to see how soft House Vermillion has grown. You're a disgrace to the family, Fuegoleon." Nozel says.

"What did you say?" Fuegoleon asks as his glare intensified.

"As an eagle soaring the skies how can I ever accept an insect who crawls upon the ground? No matter how powerful they may seem." Nozel says with an equal glare of intensity.

The room started to shake once again at the window's began to crack under the magical pressure. Fuegoleon and Nozel continue to glare at each other as their mana spewed out behind them giving form to a giant light blue eagle and a giant lion made of fire.

'Two captains pitting mana against mana. What a battle.' Klaus thought.

"Whoa, amazing." Asta says looking around the room.

"Can you feel it?" Yuno asks from behind Asta.

"Oh yeah, these guys are something else." Asta says watching the two captains.

"We should probably stop them, huh Char?" Sol asks halting her eating.

"No Sol, let the boys play out their little rivalry. And call me Captain." Charlotte says.

"Okay, Char, whatever you say." Sol says returning to her eating.

"Sol." Charlotte growls and finally opens her eyes once she hers an explosion that rang throughout the hall.

This surprises everyone as a man in a hood burst through the door.

"Terrible news!" The man shouts causing the two captains to stop their battle of wills.

"What is it?" Fuegoleon asks looking over his shoulder.

"Sir, the Royal Capital, it's under attack!" The man shouts.

All throughout the city citizens were running or being cornered by walking corpses while the mysterious purple haired man from outside the capital was on top of a steeple laughing manically.
