Chapter 2
Noelle Reveals her Secret.
Nova slept decent that night. She even got to sleep in. Nova got up and dressed. She headed downstairs. She felt like some rooms moved around after almost opening the door to the wrong room.
'Strange.' Nova thought.
"Morning. Sleeping Beauty." A familiar voice said. Nova turned to see Magna standing bheind her with his signature smirk on his face. "You sleep well?"
"Better then what I have in months." Nova said.
"Come on. I'll introduce you to the rest of the Black Bulls." Magna said. Nova followed Magna down the halls.
"Is it me or have somethings have changed since last night?" Nova asked.
"It happens nightly. You'll get use to it after awhile." Magna said. Nova nodded. They came into the dining hall. Vanessa had a wine bottle in her hand.
"So this is one of the new girls. Want a drink." Vanessa asked, holding out the bottle. "What's your name, honey?"
"Nova and no thank you." Nova said. The girl was clearly drunk even when it was not even afternoon and still in her underware. Nova turned and ran into almost dark man with a cigerette in his mouth.
"Nova, this is Grey. He doesn't talk much." Magna said.
"Oh nice to meet you." Nova said. Grey blew smoke towards her and she coughed. Luck jumped in front of Nova.
"Hey. You strong? Want to fight later?" Luck said. He had a crazed look on his face.
"I'm good. Maybe another time." Nova said. Nova saw a man with what looked like a skeleton face approach. He was whispering and Nova couldn't understand him
"Gordan. Don't creep her out. Don't worry about him. He's always like this." Magna said, grabbing Nova's arm and pulling her away.
"Where's Captain Yami?" Nova asked.
"He's doing his business. He'll be there for awhile." Finral said, walking by.
"Okay then." Nova said. A man with browninsh hair with part of it covering his eye.
"My names Gauche." Gauche said. He was clutching what looked like paper in his hand.
"Hi Gauche its..." Nova never finished as he shoved the paper in her face. She backed up and Magna grabbed her from falling. It was a picture of a young girl with the same hair color.
"This is my sister Marie. Isn't she the cutest little thing." Gauche said.
"She is." Nova said, seeing blood coming out of his nose when he looked at the picture.
"He's a little obbsessed with his little sister." Magna said, pulling her away from Gauche.
"Someone needs meat on their bones. Here." A short little girl came over and shoved a cupcake in Nova's hand. "Eat." The girl had sheep in cooks hats cooking food. "Name's Charmy."
"Thank you." Nova said. Nova took a bite into the food and it melted in her mouth. "This is really good. Thank you Charmy." Nova finished off the food. Magna disappeared to check on another new kid that Nova assumed was the one she saw last night. Noelle came down. Nova introduced Noelle to everyone. Noelle and Nova decide to go look around the Headquarters that was now their new home. They found the baths decided to take baths later that night. Nova dragged Noelle to the library so she could grab some books to read.
"You think I'll be able to fit in here? You more get along with everyone then I do." Noelle said as she looked over the books.
"If you stop treating people like they are under you and started treating them like actual Knights. Then you should be fine." Nova said.
"I don't know how you treat everyone equal, but you were always odd." Noelle said with a sigh.
"Mother was the same way with Royals and peasents. I rather treat everyone equal." Nova said. She came out with a huge stack of books.
"You got enough books?" Noelle said with a smirk.
"Nope. These are all I can carry." Nova said with a smile. Nova dropped her books off in her room for her to read later. Nova and Noelle head outside. Trees surrounded the home and it looked bigger in daylight then it did at night. "Plenty of places to train when not on missions. I think I'll like it here." Noelle still wasn't sure.
"Yeah, whatever. Let's head back inside." Noelle said. They head back to the entrance. Magna and a silver hair boy was heading out and Magna came to a stop when he saw them.
"Who are they?" The kid asked as the sisters came walking towards them.
"These two are another newbie like you." Magna said.
"Cool! Another two newbies? Glad to know I'm not alone." The kid said. Stars were in his eyes as he held out his hand for the sisters. "How's it going? I'm Asta from Hage Village." Noelle and Nova stopped in front of the other two. Noelle stood with her hands on her hips. Nova stood with one hand on her hip. "Let's give this all we've got. What do you say?"
"Hage Village? Isn't that where the First Wizard King took out the demon?" Nova asked.
"You heard of it?" Asta asked with more stars in his eyes.
"Of course." Nova said. Noelle lowered her eyes as Asta still held out his hand for the girls. She smacked the hand away. "Noelle. Be nice." Noelle ignored her sister.
"Don't speakt to us so casually. You're a little insect of a commoner with barely any mana." Noelle said. Nova sighed.
"Little insect?!" Asta said with wide eyes.
"Geez. Commoner?" Magna said.
"Do you really have to pull this on our first day with the Black Bulls?" Nova asked, looking at her sister. Noelle didn't seem to care. Nova sighed. Noelle pointed to herself.
"My name is Noelle Silva and this is my sister Nova Silva, of the Royal Silva House." Noelle said. Asta's eyes widen.
"What? No way!" Asta said. He was staring at the two sisters in hosck. "You're? Are you.. Royalty?" Asta fell to his knees and did a bow. Nova put a hand to her face. "Uh I. An insignificant insect like me.." He keeps bowing on his knees. Noelle and Nova shared looks of pure annoyance. "Should never have presumed to speak so informally to an exalted royal such as yourselves!"
"Oh please stop with the bowing. I don't like that attention." Nova said. Magna raised an eyebrow at her.
"As long as you understand." Noelle said.
"Wait." Asta said. He got up with his fists like he was ready to fight. "Who are you calling a little insect? We joined the Magic Knights at the same time, didn't we? Who care if you're royalty?" Asta said. Nova had to admit the kid had spunk.
"YEah, that's right, Asta. You tell her! Being royal doesn't matter here!" Magna said.
"They have a point. We are among commoners." Nova said. Magna glared at her.
"Stop calling us commoners." Magna said. Noelle looked at the two.
"It does, very much so." Noelle said.
"And what makes you so sure?" Magna and Asta said. Noelle sighed.
"Foolish commoners. I suppose words aren't enough to make you understand." Noelle said.
"Uh. Noelle. Probably not a good idea." Nova said as Noelle held out her hand and Nova moved out of the way as Noelle's hand glowed blue.
"The difference in our magic power should get the point across." Noelle said. Magna and Asta backed away. Nova knew this wasn't going to end well.
"Hey.." Asta said. Noelle just stared at Asta. "Wait a minute!"
"Noelle." Nova warned as water came out of the blue bubble around her hand.
"Don't forget your place again!" Noelle said. She sent the water bubble at Asta. Asta looked worried. The water bubble turns and hits Magna instead. Magna yelps and gurgles. Magna collapses to the ground as the water falls.
"Hmph." Noelle said and turns away. Nova bit her lip.
"What were you thinking? Entitled brat!" Magna said, standing up, drenched in water. Nova and Noelle glared at him. Magna put his glasses on. "Obvously, you've got more guts than sense. You just attacked a senior member!"
"Entitled brat?" Nova asked, glaring at Magna. Magna glared back.
"It isn't my fault you were in the wrong place. I didn't tell you to stand there. You did that on your own." Noelle said. Asta sputters as Magna sat there sweating.
"What kind of crazy are you? I'm your suprior here!" Magna said.
"That's nice, but I'm royalty." Noelle said.
"Yeah?" Magna asked coming up to her. Nova raised an eyebrow as he lifted up the sunglasses. "Well, I don't care if you're royalty or the sisters of the Silver Eagle's Captain." Asta looked surprised. "Yami's the only person I know who would ever take on a crazy chick like you. So you might wanna show some gratitude. I was holding off because you're a woman, but I think it's time for your baptism." Noelle reached for her button on her cape, making Magna and Nova gasp as she took off the cape and tossed it to the ground.
"Noelle?" Nova said.
"You were wrong Nova. I won't fit in here. You will fit more then I will." Noelle said. Nova looked a bit hurt. Noelle turned to Magna. "Don't bother. I quit this stupid squad." Noelle turned and leave. "Don't follow me Nova. I want to be left alone." Magna was yelling at her as she disappeared. Asta decided to leave. Nova turned on Magna.
"You didn't have to be so hard on her. She's already had it from our other siblings." Nova said, storming by.
"Nova." Magna said. Nova stopped. "What was with her magic? She was aiming at Asta but ended up hitting me. What is she hiding?"
"It's.. It's not my place to tell." Nova said and Magna wondered what the sisters were hiding. "But not all of us are intitled brats. Thought you were better then that, Magna." Nova runs off. Nova went to her room.
'Stubborn as always, sis. You'll need to tell them the truth eventually, but it won't be me.' Nova thought. The building started to shake. Nova ran to the window and gasped. A huge ball of water was in the air with swirling water coming out of it. The book she was holding dropped to the ground. 'Shit. Noelle.' Nova ran out of the room, heading for outside. Nova ran outside and saw the others staring at it.
"My goodness!" Vanessa said.
"Hey, cool!" Luck said.
"That's magic power gone out of control." Gaude said.
"And a whole hell of a lot of it, too. We're gonna have to do something." Magna said. Nova ran as she headed for the bubble. It was bigger then normal.
"Noelle!" Nova yelled. Magna grabbed her arm. "Let me go."
"You could get hurt with that. Stay here." Magna said. Nova clenched her jaw. The ball was moving towards the building. A man smoking a cigerette stood with Finral sighed.
"Well, attacking the thing with magic is out." Nova assumed that was their Captain since he was the one she hadn't seen yet, Captain Yami. She's gonna get hurt if we try that." Yami looked at Finral. "Why don't you use your spatial magic to pull her outta there?" Finral moved to look at Yami.
"Please, be reasonable. I can't get close to that!" Finral said.
"Yeah, okay. If there were only someone around here who could cancel out magic." Yami said. As if perfect timing. Asta was hit with something that sent him flying in the air. Yami caught Asta in his arms. "Huh. You picked the right time to drop in, kid."
"Huh?" Asta said. Yami pointed at the waterball.
"See that? Do something about it." Yami said.
"Do something?" Asta asked.
"Captain. Are you sure? He could hurt Noelle." Nova said.
"You must be the older sister. Your all mighty brother said you were protective of your sister. He won't hurt her, just help." Yami said.
"Okay, I'll try." Asta said. He looked at Yami. "Wait. How am I supposed to get up there? I can't exactly fly. So..." Yami gave Asta a cold stare.
"I don't wanna hear your excuses." Yami said. Asta yelps in fear. "Just suck it up, newbie." Yami grabs Asta and gets ready to toss him. "Dig deep, and push past your limits!"
"Is he usually like this?" Nova asked as Yami tosses Asta towards the water ball.
"All the time. You'll get use to it." Magna said. Nova's eyes widen as Asta pulls a huge black sword from him Grimore. He slices through the water bubble and the water crashes into the ground. Asta and Noelle were heading for the ground. Finral opens a spacial magic and saves both of them.
"Noelle!" Nova runs over to her sister as Asta jumps to his feet.
"Yeah! I didn't die!" Asta said. Nova knelt by her sister as she laid on the ground.
"That was so fun to watch! More! More!" Luck said.
"Really? I'm all wet now." Vanessa said. Asta looks at Finral.
"Thanks for the portal." Asta said.
"I thought you might appreciate it." Finral said.
"You pulled it off, kid. Good job." Yami said.
"Asta." Asta turned towards Nova. "Thank you for helping my sister. That was amazing what you did." Asta smiled.
"Nova right?" Asta asked. Nova nodded. "Your welcome." Nova smiled. "Thank you, sir. Hey Noelle." Noelle's head popped up and she gasped. Nova looked at her baby sister with worry. Asta approached the sisters. "You know..." He paused a minute as Nova stood up. "You got yourself some crazy magic power! I mean, it's freaking amazing!" Noelle gasped as she sat up. "Really! I'm totally jealous of you. I don't have any magic power, like, none." That surprised Nova.
'This kid has no magic power, but he can cancel out magic? Interesting.' Nova thought.
"All you need is some training to get it under control. You'll be strong. Unstoppable!" Asta said. Noelle gasped.
"That's what I keep telling you, Noelle. He is right." Nova said. Noelle gave her sister a firm look but saw Nova had a huge smile on her face.
"Little in... Asta." Noelle said.
"I'm screwed! Man, I'll have to work extra hard if I'm gonna keep up with you." Asta said. He looked at Nova. "You don't have wicked powers like her?"
"I can control my magic. But I got ice and water magic." Nova said.
"That's so cool." Asta said with stars in his eyes.
"What? Is that all? You were running away because you can't control your magic power? Should of said something sooner, you royal failure." Magna said. Nova looked at Magna. He winked at Nova and Nova felt her heart leap a bit. "I mean, come on. This is the Black Bulls after all. We're a whole squad of failures." Vanessa chuckled and gave Noelle a thumbs up. Noelle looked at everyone in shock. "So maybe you've got a weakness or three." The black cape of the Black Bulls flies and lands back on her shoulders. "That doesn't matter to us, ya big dummy. And I don't see a failure in your sister, but she is welcomed here like you are." Nova smiled. Noelle looked down, but Nova put a hand on her shoulder and gave her an encouraging smile and Noelle stood up.
"Anway, we're glad you're all right. Oh, and I know this place that makes killer pasta. You wanna check it out with me sometime?" Finral said.
"Forget about pasta. You need to try a bite out of this." Charmy said, handing her some food. The talk seemed to melt all together.
"See." Noelle looked at Nova. "They accept you for who you are. There was no need to worry. We'll get you to control you magic and you can prove our brothers and sister wrong. Your no failure." Noelle smiled.
"Thank you." Noelle said. Nova knew they were gonna be more then welcome with the Black Bulls now and Nova felt at home now.
