Chapter 29: Bad Loser

"Who are you calling an old hag?!" Catherine asks angrily as her grimoire flips through its pages until it lands on a certain one. "Ash Curse Magic: Joyful Destruction Ash." She says gathers ash around them and creates spheres of concentrated ash and then launches these ash-based bullets towards Yuno who swerves through the bullets using his Wind Magic. "These are curse bullets with various curses inside." She explains as Yuno continues to dodge the bullets while flying through the streets of the Northwestern District. "You won't know what you'll get until they hit." She says.

"Wind Magic: Crescent Kamaitachi." Yuno says sending the blade of wind at the witch but she easily dodges the attack and sending more curse bullets at him. "Who are you people? What are you after?" He asks.

"My, my. Look at you, with such ample time to talk. Well, since you're hot, I guess I'll tell you. We're here to eliminate someone. That's our goal." Catherine explains flying on her magic broom a few feet from Yuno.

"Eliminate someone?" Yuno asks quietly.

"Who do you think it is, darling?" Catherine asks as Yuno looks towards the castle in the distance. "Well, I'm definitely not going to tell you." She says firing off more curse bullets.

[Royal Castle]

Inside the king's bedchamber, he was starting to grow more impatient than he already was.

"What is that racket?" The king asks. "I thought you said the fighting was over." He says to Marx.

"Well, Your Majesty, it appears there are still a few stragglers in the Northern District and Northwestern District." Marx says.

"Then where is the Wizard King? During an emergency like this, he should be the first to rush to the side of Augustus Kira Clover XIII, King od the Clover Kingdom. His first priority should be to protect me. That is the most important duty of most powerful mage in the kingdom, the Wizard King!" Augustus says loudly.

"You are absolutely right, Your Majesty. Rest assured, we, the advisors of the Wizard King, will protect you." Marx says gesturing to himself and the hooded mages behind him.

"Curse that Julius." Augustus says with a scoff. "He's gotten full of himself because his authority equals mine when we're at war, hasn't he?" He asks. "I'm the only leader of the Clover Kingdom!" He says loudly.

[Streets of the Noble Realm]

Yuno continues to fly through the streets avoiding Catherine's Joyful Destruction Ash and goes in between two buildings as more curse bullets rain down on him but he shoots upward as the curses hit the ground.

"Wind Magic: Crescent Kamaitachi." Yuno says sending the wind blade downward knocking the incoming curse bullets back to the ground.

However, Catherine sways her left hand to the right causing three curse bullets that were below Yuno to move upward and strike him in the chest. She then moves her right arm from her center to the right causing three more curse bullets to hit Yuno in his back.

'The attacks keep coming. She has a tremendous amount of magic. These ash bullets themselves don't do much damage, but…' Yuno thought as he is stuck rapidly by multiple curse bullets.

"Oh, dear…are you all right? It looks like you're having a hard time getting around. I wonder what you've been hit with." Catherine says.

"Damn it…" Yuno curses as he stares at the witch however his vision was getting blurry. 'I…can barely see anymore. I'm gradually losing sensation throughout my body, too.' He thought hovering through the air.

"Hey, can you hear me? Hello?" Catherine asks laughing at the boy's misfortune.

'My ears are also going…this is her power?' Yuno wonders gritting his teeth as he glares at the witch.

"My Ash Curse Magic: Joyful Destruction Ash works very gradually." Catherine says. "First, your eyes stop working, then your ears, and then your body stops moving." She explains how her magic works. "You'll pay for having the insolence to call me an old hag." She says.

'People expected a lot from my four-leaf clover…' Yuno thought thinking back to how he obtained his grimoire. 'I even joined the top Magic Knights squad, the Golden Dawn.' He thought remembering how every Magic Knight squad wanted him to join their ranks. 'Yet…what am I doing?' He wonders as more curse bullets strike him as Catherine laughs at his misfortune.

[Flashback]

"Who cares about a four-leaf clover? That stupid peasant, getting a big head…" Voice 1 says.

"Hmph. He lacks the talent worthy to be a member of the Golden Dawn." Voice 2 says.

"I'm sure he won't last long." Voice 3 says.

'All those voices around me don't matter.' Yuno thought as he recalls himself training his magic to be even better. 'I'm only bettering myself so I won't lose. But…I couldn't win.' He thought recalling his fight against Mars and how badly he lost. 'What defeated that guy was a power I just happened upon, one that I can't control.' He thought remembering how it was Sylph, the Wind Spirit, defeated Mars with a simple blow of her breath. 'Not to mention…' He thought recalling how he tried to summon Sylph again. 'That power doesn't seem to want to listen to me. The only reason I was able to avoid the Spacial Magic earlier was because something other than my own power reacted.' He thought remembering how he escaped the faith of the other Magic Knights.

"It's not like we're expecting anything from that peasant." Voice 1 says.

'No, that's not it.' Yuno thought.

[End Flashback]

"Wind Magic: Towering Tornado!" Yuno yells a he desperately tries to attack Catherine with a wind tornado.

"Kya ha ha ha ha! Where are you attacking?" Catherine asks forming a heart symbol with her hands. "You have to aim properly, like this." She says hitting him with more curse bullets. "If you say, "I'm sorry, miss," and adorably beg for your life, I'll forgive you." She says.

"Not a…chance…" Yuno barely manages to say. 'I can't see…anything…I can't feel…anything.' He thought as he sank into the darkness until he caught sight of a green bird like object flying in front of him followed by multiple ones as they flew around him like a current. 'This is…' He began to think realizing what was happening. 'The flow of mana?' He wonders.

[It's said that mages with wind-based mana are excellent at detecting mana. With all five senses cut off and his back against the wall, Yuno's finely honed concentration demonstrated an astonishing ability to detect mana, and was attempting to go beyond even that.]

"Come on, hurry up and beg for your life." Catherine says already having more Joyful Destruction Ash ready to fire. "If you don't, I'm just going to have to kill you." She says with a laugh. "There are so many things I want to ask you. Hey, can you hear me?" She asks. "Hey come on. Answer me!" She shouts.

'Would you shut up? I could care less about you. I just…' Yuno thought as he pauses for a moment and clenches his fist. 'Don't want to lose…' He paused recalling Asta's victory over Mars. 'To Asta!' He shouts in his mind as his grimoire flips through its pages. "I'm not done yet!" He yells as grimoire glows brightly catching Catherine's attention.

'That grimoire…the legendary four-leaf clover?' Catherine wonders.

Suddenly the wind around the Noble Realm picked up as a powerful tornado came down from the sky and circled around Yuno.

'Huh? Mana is gathering…' Catherine thought. 'This sensation…he's…' She began to think. 'He's controlling the mana?!' She questions.

In front of Yuno, Sylph appeared with her arms spread out as if she was protecting him.

'I see. The spirit has constantly been sending me mana signs. I was relying so much on my sight and hearing that I wasn't noticing them.' Yuno thought. "Let me just tell you one thing about me. I…" He begins to say. "Hate losing more than anything else! Especially to my big brother!" He yells. "Wind Spirit Magic:…" He begins to say as Sylph begins moving the wind into a concentrated stream. "Sylph's Breath!" He yells as Sylph then launches the wind at Catherine.

'No! I have to use the magic I stole to defend myself, or I'll-' Catherine began to think but it was too late, she was caught up in the wind magic attack.
