Keyblade Clover
Tome 2: Black Bulls
[-]
6 Months Later; September
So, 6 moths have passed from when Yuno and Asta got their Grimoires. And, a lot has happened with the 3 of us. Let's start with me: After I acquired the Naruto Keychain, I had realized that I had EVERYTHING from Naruto accessed to me, just like the others. But, I decided to try and work my way through everything, just like the other Keychains. If that ain't the case, I got ANOTHER Keychain. But, this one seems to be sealed… Like, I can't use it. It's a bummer, because it's the shape of Neptune AKA Purple Heart's head. So, I got Neptunia powers. Just can't use it… Which makes sense, actually… Because the CPUs are Goddesses. That would be TOO MUCH to bear for me, who is still stuck at the Namek Saga of Dragon Ball Z. Well, I got a lot of wiggle room here for the time being with my Keychains.
Bleach, I can now use Bankai… But, it's not Ichigo or anyone I recognize. In fact, my Zanpakuto is like… Custom. I don't know the full extent, but I have control over time with my Zanpakuto. Funny that I also controlled my Hollow powers too and can shoot Cero with an index finger. Fucking dope, man! My Cero is sky blue, too!
Fairy Tail, I decided on the Slayer Magic aspect and eat elements that comes my way. It's useful on elemental mages, so I can outmatch them. I also decided to dabble on Card Magic, like Cana. It seems fun, too… Mixing that with Slayer Magic is very useful, too… I can eat the element I cast and o significantly more damage. It's a great combo!
Dragon Ball, however… I got Kaio-Ken up to 20 times like Goku and can use Unlock Potential, like how Krillin and Gohan did on Namek. However, I also can use Great Ape… Which freaked out everyone at the church. I had to explain that it was part of my magic… Which made Asta giddy as he wanted to test his might against it. SOMEHOW HE IS ABLE TO KEEP UP. Don't ask… I don't know either. I can also channel the power into my human form.. With is also labeled Ikari (Wrathful). BUT… I have to be in control of my emotions to do that. If not, I'm leveling the area. OOF.
My Hero Academia, well… You think with all the training with the other keychains would benefit One For All? NOPE. FUCK NO. Let me explain. Yeah, I got the balance… But, I still need to control that MASSIVE amount of build up in power. Yeah, I gotta give Izuku and All Might the credit they fucking deserve… THIS SHIT HURTS TO USE AT MAX POWER. GODDAMN. At least I don't blow my limbs off… Just bruise them quite a bit. Not every use bruises them… Just powerful uses. Ugh…
Demon Slayer was the last one I practiced with… And, THIS ONE. How boy, I am GLAD I saved this one for last. This Boosted my overall abilities TREMONDOUSLY. Like, I got almost infinite stamina now after a month of training with this. My strength and speed transferred over, too… It helped a lot.
With all that, I should be broken… Well, kinda. Anyway, I trained Asta and Yuno with my powers and gauged them. Well, it did help a lot for Asta, who found ways to enhance his strength and speed by several dozen times. It helped him get stronger than his Canon counterpart at this point of the story. Yuno, GOD. He is basically a boss battle now… His wind magic got a HUGE buff from the training and at the last month… He became a boss battle. To the point that he is the meme, "Why do I hear Boss Music?" Ugh, I regret this… A little bit. However, I didn't account for Asta to be matching Yuno immediately. It SHOCKED me, really. Within this time period, I can say… We are dead even. Now, we are on our way to the capital for getting our Magic Knights exam.
If anything, the journey there was long… So, I requested them to continue training. And, they used me for a TRAINING DUMMY. THE AUDACITY! Welp, we finally arrived… And, it was on my birthday, too. September 30th… The day of the exam.
"Finally… We are here. Now, can you assholes stop using me as a training dummy?" I told them and they smirked at me. These motherfuckers… I can't hate them, though.
"So, this is our starting point?" Yuno asked as he looked around. There were many people surrounding the area and they were conversing with each other. I hummed to myself and remembered something.
"I'll meet up with you guys later… I got a bit of business to handle," I told them and walked off, waving them off.
"Where you going?!" Asta called to me.
"Looking for someone!" I called to them. I turned and looked ahead, searching for that kid that was speaking out against me. It didn't look like he was here… I stopped when I bumped into someone. We fell over and landed on the ground. I was on top of them and looked down and saw a blonde haired girl about my age underneath me. She looked up at me and giggled seductively as she looked up at me.
"Ara ara… At least take me to dinner first, sweetie…" she said with a giggle and I blushed at her. I quickly got up and cleared my throat, holding my hand out for her. She took my hand gently and got up. She wore what looked like a corset under a green blazer, green tights that fit her rather plump thighs, and green sneakers. Rather… Close to modern looking than fantasy looking, oddly enough. She also had a black robe on with a symbol of a Black Bull with golden outlines on over the left shoulder and a golden Grimoire hovering around her with what almost look like a power symbol embroiled on the front and back of the Grimoire.
"Umm… Well, I…" I said nervously and she laughed while covering her mouth.
"I'm sorry. I had to tease one boy before I meet my little brother," she said with a sensual smile, "Vert Phoenix. Nice to meet you." Vert… Huh. Can't be a coincidence…
"Sis, there you are!" a familiar voice called as the boy from 6 months ago rushed up to Vert and stood next to her. He saw me and blinked in shock.
"You know my sister?"
"…No. We just met now," I said as I folded my arms, "This is your sister?"
"Yes. She is 2 years older than me, in fact," He said as he beamed up at his sister. Vert giggled and pet him on the head.
"I see you met my little brother beforehand. This is Bradley Phoenix, and he is taking the Magic Knights Exam," Vert said as she looked at me, "You?"
"Same. Especially if today's my birthday," I said with a smile.
"Oh, happy birthday! I hope you do well in the exams!" Vert said excitedly.
"Hey. How long for you intend to keep us waiting, Blondie?" a voice called to her as a mountain of a man stood behind her, smoking a cigarette while looking down at her, "Come on, we are needed in the stands. Finral couldn't use his portals without you nearby, the idiot." Vert turned to the man with a sweet smile.
"Sir, I told you to call me Vert when we are in public…" Vert said as she looked at him. The man rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Yeah, yeah… Blondie," He said and Vert puffed her cheeks out while staring at him, "You do good, Green."
"It's Bradley, Mr. Yami," Bradley said as he looked at him.
"You do your best, okay little brother? I will be watching you carefully," Vert told Bradley as she held his shoulders and gave him a knowing look. Bradley nods his head and smile at her.
"I'll be fine, sis. Promise," He said and she sighed while hugging him.
"I love you no matter what," she said and he hugs her back. I watched this whole scene in silence, admiring the whole thing. Just then, a handsome looking brown haired male came into view and bows to Yami and Vert.
"Captain… Vert… We better get going. Little Bradley, we will be rooting for you," He said with a smile. Bradley gave him a thumbs up and smiled. Yami then… Turned to me and frowned slightly before raising his eyebrows curiously.
"Sir?" Vert asked him as Yami faced me fully.
"Your magic… It's powerful. Haven't felt anything like it before… Heh, looks like these exams will be fun after all," He said with a smirk at me, taking another puff, "Don't go knocking heads around out there, ya hear?"
"Yeah. I got it," I said with a smirk, "Hope I don't blow you away." Yami laughed heartily at that and turned away.
"Sure you will. When the selection comes, I hope you make the right choice by your head… See ya then. Blondie, Finral… Let's get Gordon and head up to the stands," Yami said and Finral opened a white portal in front of them. Bradley waves to them as they went into the portal. He then glanced at me and was silent for a few seconds, probably waiting on me to say something.
"They your family?" I asked him and Bradley scratched his cheek, "They seem pretty fun to hang with."
"They are the Black Bulls. The world labels them as the weakest group of Magic Knights, but I don't care. They took Vert and I in when we were children. Our parents used to lead the Black Bulls before Dad retired and gave the position to Mr. Yami," Bradley said as he nods his head. Ah… Okay, so they aren't part of the Canon timeline. Which means Asta already met Yami and Finral. But, Vert though… She looks a lot like Neptunia Vert. Like, EERILY similar to her. And what was up with her Grimoire? It had the Sharicite power symbol on the front and back. Like, that is sending alarm bells off in my head. Jesus…
"Sounds like you guys are in good hands, at least," I said to him, "Listen, about 6 months ago… That wasn't fair of me. I'm sorry. I realized I took my anger out on you without reason. You didn't deserve it at all…"
"No, you were right. I had a while to think about it and… I should've said something to stop them, even if it meant getting slammed. I apologize for my inaction," Bradley said as he bows to me, "I wanna make it up to you and that Asta boy."
"You don't have to… But, if you have to… Pass your exam, and I'll do the same. We'll call it even then," I told him with a smirk, holding out my left hand. He took it with his left hand and we shook each other's hands, nodding to each other. Then, the sound of several voices rose above the crowd and we all looked up to see 9 people standing above us on high pedestals. I can see Yami standing beside 9 people and looking down at us. One of them, a male with a weird mask over his face, stepped up and held out a Grimoire in front of himself. The Grimoire had a green hue around it as he chanted the words:
Magic Tree Descent.
Suddenly, a large amalgamation of roots appeared above us and the roots descended down towards us. It stopped in front of every person, including me, and created a broomstick that it handed out to the others. When I got mine, I was surprised to see it floating around me without me even touching it. This shocked everyone, including Yuno and Asta, who were watching nearby. I just watched the broom hover around me about 5 feet off of the ground and smirked at it.
"You're a lively one, aren't ya? I think I'll call you… Highsmith," I said with a smile and the broomstick stopped in front of me and seemed to do a little jig out of response, "Ha, you like the name? Alright, Highsmith. We'll be the best of friends."
"Incredible," one of the 9 called from above and I looked up at them, "Inanimate magic is hard to come by in this world. You are a rare breed, young man." Oops, I didn't mean to stand out! Shit…
"Ah… Sorry, that happens quite a bit around me," I said as I rubbed the back of my head, "Highsmith, help me out here…" Highsmith hovered near my feet and I just got on and began flying on Highsmith with no issue. I mean, I already knew how to fly without him. So, it was a breeze. The other mages were flying on the brooms, including Bradley… Who was expertly flying his broom and was doing Aerial acrobatics. Showoff, lol. Well, mostly everyone was flying… But, Asta… Oh, God…
"Come ON! Fly, you stupid broom!" Asta yelled as he tried to get his broom to fly. That's a bummer… I flew down to his level and looked at him.
"Bro. Really?" I teased him and he rolled his eyes at me.
"Shut up. I'm not freakishly gifted like you…" Asta told me with a frown.
"But, you are though…" I said and he blinked at me, "You just don't have magic. You have the opposite, in fact." He blinked in confusion as I left him a vague answer.
"Just keep trying. You'll get it, man." I flew away and left him to try again.
[-]
Well, safe to say… Asta did surprisingly well in the physical exams of the competition. But, the magic stuff… He couldn't do anything since he has no magic. Yuno, Bradley, and I on the other hand… Excelled everywhere and got the highest ranks. Welp, it came down to the final exam: A sparring match with the person of your choice. I didn't know who to choose. I can't go with Yuno… He'd dub my shit. Asta would have his Anti-Magic cancel out half my arsenal… And, I do NOT know what Bradley has packing. Best choice I have is either Bradley or a random.
"Hey, you wanna be my sparring partner?" a female voice said behind me and I glanced behind me to see another blonde haired girl with green eyes staring at me. She had on what looked like a black corset under a white unbuttoned dress shirt, black combat skirt, knee high laced shoes, and had an umbrella in her left hand. Her Grimoire has the symbol of a large stone on the front of it. She looked gorgeous, man! More so than Vert…
"Navia is my name. You?"
"J-uhh…" I said nervously as I blushed heavily. She giggled at my fumble as I covered my face.
"Sorry. You've haven't talked to may girls, huh?" She asked as she looked at me.
"…Nope. Only girls I speak with are younger than myself. I grew up in an orphanage," I said and she frowned at that.
"Oh. I'm sorry…" she said.
"Don't be. I got a family," I said with a smile as I glanced back at Asta. He was talking with another male. That must be Zeke, the Canon sparring partner he has to fight.
"Oh, that kid is your brother? He's physically strong, but weirdly has no magic," she said as she looked around Asta.
"Well, I did train him to be that strong to make up for the lack of magic," I said with a small smile. She looked at me incredulously and covered her mouth.
"Wow! Really?! That's incredible!" Navia said as she nods her head, "Honestly, what do you do? You look quite lean for someone that strong! Same for the kid!"
"Trade secret," I said in a joking manner and she gave me a smile, "James, by the way. That's my name. I'll accept your proposal." Navia giggled.
"We're not getting married, silly," Navia told me and I blushed heavily, "Not yet, anyway…" She laughed as I sputtered at that.
"Good luck to you, handsome." She saunters away, her hips swaying side to side. Goddamn it… Why am I attracting hot girls around me all of a sudden? 2 in one day?! Seriously?!
[-]
Welp, time flies when you are having fun. Asta had his match and won easily. He also proclaimed his Wizard King status again, which got the crowd laughing at him. I was a bit ticked at them laughing at Asta's dreams like that, but surprisingly Vert was the one who called them out and shut then up. After that fiasco, Yuno's match came and went. He easily won, just like in Canon.
Now, came Bradley's match… And, let me tell you right now… Bradley has his own SLAYER MAGIC. Like, he has Devil Slayer Magic! Like, that shouldn't exist in Black Clover! It's a Fairy Tail exclusive! This is weird… And makes me more suspicious of his and Vert's backstories. I'm so much more interested in their backstories now… So, I better drop subtle hints with Vert about Hyperdimension Neptunia and see how she reacts. Maybe I'm crazy, but I gotta know.
Welp, it was my turn. And, I am nervous. What can Navia do? I mean, I don't know this chick… And, she is super friendly with me. Hope that wasn't a distraction for me… Speaking of which, I stepped out of the crowd and made my way to the middle of the circle they made and Navia came out of the crowd while still having her umbrella open above her. I guess it's not an ascetic thing. Probably tied to her magic… We faced each other and my Grimoire floats next to me, summoning my Keyblade to my side and fitting the Fairy Tail Keychain in its proper slot.
"Let's have a good spar, James… Don't go easy on me because I'm a pretty face," Navia told me with a sweet smile. I blushed and nodded my head. I spun my Keyblade at my left side as 3 cards appeared in my right hand.
" Card Magic: Winds Of Change!" I called as I threw the cards down. A lightning card, a cloud card, and a tornado card flew out in front of me and a large tornado appeared out of this combo of cards. Navia held the umbrella in front of her and didn't move from her spot. The winds were crazy strong, and she was not budging an inch?! Wow… I underestimate her.
" Geo Magic: Stone Smash!" Navia called as she raised her left leg and stomped the ground below her and cracks appeared around her feet. Stalagmites shot up towards me and dissipated the tornado, surprising me into silence as I side stepped out of the way. Okay, this is more my style… She is strong. Only Yuno and Asta can break that… Not even the Father or Sister Lily could do that!
"Okay, let's try this- Card Magic: Vice Bolt!" I called as I called 3 more cards to my right hand and tossed them into the air. 3 different colored lightning cards appeared in the sky and a large lightning bolt shot down towards Navia she quickly moved her umbrella up above her and she blocked the lightning bolt. That amount of reflexes are insane to block a lightning bolt in midair like that… Navia is way better than she lets on. Time to take this seriously… I held out 3 more cards in front of me and hovered them in front of me.
" Card Magic: Ether Party!" I called and the cards changed into 3 fire cards that shot large fireballs at me. I was hit head on and Navia looked shocked at me. Smoke surrounded me as I ate the fireballs.
"What did you…" Navia called.
"Ahh… That was a spicy meal… Haven't eaten breakfast today, so that hit the spot," I called as the smoke disappeared around me. I was surrounded in red flames without it hurting me.
"Did he…" One of the audience members called.
"Yeah, he ATE the fire!" another called and Navia recoiled in shock.
"Wait. You can EAT elemental magic?!" Navia called in shock.
"Never ate stone before, though. Probably tastes like rock candy," I joked at her, "But. I can't always do it… Has to be a specific situation."
"…I see…" Navia said and frowned, "But, I won't let this deter me. Just proves I won't be taking you lightly."
"Me either," I said with a smirk, "You surprise me with that umbrella of yours."
"It's part of my magic, actually. It can tank most magic spells and physical attacks coming my way," she said to me with a smile as she twirled her umbrella.
"Even so… Blocking lightning is nigh impossible, you know. You gotta have matching speed that lightning puts out," I told her as I spun my Keyblade at my side.
"I've always been fast for my size," Navia joked as she placed a hand on her hip, "But, I think we can wrap this up soon."
"Feeling's mutual, then," I said and increased the flames around me. Navia was surrounded in a yellow aura as she closed her eyes.
" Dragon Magic: Shining Flare!/ Geo Magic: Serpent's Chaos!" Both of us called at the same time, me firing off a large orange fireball ahead of me and Navia summoned a large rock serpent at her side and it fired off a vast yellow beam at the fireball. The attacks collided in midair and exploded on contact. When the smoke cleared, I was still standing and so was Navia.
"I think we can call this our first draw!" a voice called from above us. It was the leader of Golden Dawn, looking down at us with a broad smile on his face. A draw… Okay, nice. Navia and I walked towards each other and shook hands.
"I'd love to spar with you again in the future. I wanna see the extent of your power next time," Navia told me with a smile.
"Same… I feel like you had a lot more to show me," I told her with a smile and she giggled at that.
"Oh, I know. Hope we can get along in the future," Navia told me and I nodded my head with a smile and a blush. She turned and sauntered away, her hips swaying as she did so. She gave me a wave behind her and I blushed again, harder this time. Goddamn, she's hot!
[-]
Okay, so we have gotten to the selection part of the exam, where everyone would get either selected for a Magic Knights Squad or not. Our numbers were called one by one, with our small group (Myself, Asta, Yuno, Bradley, Navia) being near the 100s to 200s which made the wait super nerve wracking. I was sure I wanted in on the Black Bulls, since I needed to stay close to Asta. Most of the story happens around him, so I need to stick close to him. That means I would have to turn down everyone else. Yikes…
"No. 150, step forward," one of the 10 called and Bradley slowly step up, looking super nervous. He looked around as nothing happened. No one raised their hands, which shocked me. Bradley is exceptionally gifted, so what is the deal? Bradley looked down, depressed as he was about to turn and leave.
"I'll take the kid," Yami's voice called from the group and Bradley looked back up at Yami, who had his hand raised, "Potential like his shouldn't be squandered." Bradley looked happy as he looked overjoyed at this. Vert smiled down at her little brother and blew him a subtle kiss. Phew… I got scared for a second. I was about to jump down their throats on that.
"No. 150, Black Bulls. Next, No. 151," the same one called and Navia walked past Bradley, who hugged his Grimoire happily. Navia stopped and closed her umbrella, holding under her armpit and looking up at them. Well, this didn't surprise me as she had every captain raise their hands. Yeah, that makes sense. She is the only one who drew in her spar and saw that she drew with me. There were excited murmurs around her from the crowd and she nods her head. She looked through the Magic Knight Squad Captains and hummed to herself. She then… Points to Yami. Huh?
"I'd like to join the Black Bulls. I heard they have strong opponents I like to see for myself," she said with a confident smirk.
"…" I was shocked again today! How many times has that been?! This is a day of surprises, ain't it? Well, it's my birthday today anyway… The crowd looked stunned at Navia as the group of Squad Captains looked amongst each other and agreed.
"No. 151, Black Bulls," the first captain called, "Next, No. 152." Navia walked back to the crowd as she opened her umbrella and walked past me, who was walking ahead of her. We exchanged glances at each other and past each other. I made it to the same spot Navia stood and looked up at the Magic Knight Squad Captains.
"Apologies, Captains. But, I have already made my choice," I said as I glanced at them and stared at Yami, who smirked at me, "I was given an invitation to join the Black Bulls. I'm taking it. Heard they have some fun in their Squad, and I'm an unorthodox person. So, I'm going with them."
"You got balls of steel, kid. I like it… Appreciate the honesty, too," Yami said with a smirk.
"Yeah, just making the right decision," I said as I parroted what he told me earlier and he laughed at that.
"…Well, this is unprecedented. But, it's their choice. No. 152, Black Bulls," the first captain said as he nods his head. But, I swear I saw him frown at me. He seems pretty mad that I didn't choose his Squad, the Golden Dawn. Sucks for him. I was not gonna join because I need to keep an eye on Asta. I turned and walked back to the group, who looked at me in astonishment. Navia was watching this with a smirk.
"You didn't do that for me, did you?" Navia joked and I laughed at that.
"Nah. I actually did get invited to join them. I figured everyone of them would want me, so I went with the one who actively asked me to join them," I said with a smile, "Besides, Yami looks intimidating. You wanna say no to him?" Navia smirked and nods her head.
"Fair points," Navia giggled and I stood next to her, under her umbrella as she held it above me.
"Any reason why…?" I asked her and she giggled.
"We're gonna be seeing each other from now on, so I figure why not get a little friendly?" Navia asked and I agreed. We watched the rest of the people get chosen up to when Yuno went and he chose Golden Dawn. Then. Asta went… And, no one raised their hands for him… Just like what happened with Bradley. Asta looked a bit discouraged at this and it made me a little mad. What can I say? Asta is like a brother to me… Seeing him upset would make me mad.
"So, that's it. Figured that it turned out this way…" Yami called as he hops down and looked at Asta, "Strong as you are at physical strength, you have no magic power. In this world, Magic is Everything. No one would want a worthless No Magic Mage." Yami suddenly Emitted a large black aura surrounded him and everyone around us looked super nervous and I just looked a little shaken while Navia took a few deep breaths. That pressure is more than I expected…
"Someone with no Magic can try to surpass someone with overwhelming Magic. In order to become the Wizard King, you have to pass by me and the other 9 behind me. Can you say that to my face and mean it?" Yami continues and Asta looked down for a few seconds in silence before I stepped up.
"Yeah, he can," I said simply as I had a calm look on my face, "He's proven to surprise me every now and then. He has no magic… Well, conventional Magic. But, that don't mean he doesn't have heart."
"…Really? Can you prove that?" Yami asked.
"I'd rather he do it," I said as I looked at Asta and Asta looked up with a serious look on his face and in his eyes.
"James is right. Yeah, I don't have conventional Magic. My Magic is never giving up! Even if I fall on my face, I won't stay down! I got people depending on me to be something great! I will not fail! I WILL BE THE WIZARD KING! JUST WATCH ME!" Asta declared as he pats his chest with his left open palm and stared Yami down. The area was silent as Yami studied Asta and then… Bursts into laughter.
"HA! I like you 2! Now, that's what I'm talking about! Alright, then! Asta, was it? Come join the Black Bulls… You'll fit right in!" Yami told him with a smirk. Asta and I looked at each other and then Asta turned to Yami.
"YES SIR! I WON'T LET YOU DOWN!" Asta said excitedly as he bows to him. I nodded my head and chuckled at this. Asta rushed over and hugs me.
"Meet up with me afterwards, got it? Don't keep me waiting…" Yami told us.
"We won't! Promise!" I said with a smile.
"Ah, man… What a relief. Hey umm… I'm gonna be right back… Gotta take a shit!" Asta told me and charged off.
"DO YOU HAVE TO ANNOUNCE THAT, YOU IDIOT?!" I yelled and groaned as I shook my head, "Of course…"
"Your brother there is stupid… But, I see great things with you both and the others," Yami said with a smirk. I glanced back at him and smirked.
"Thanks for the invite, sir," I told him and he chuckled as he faces away from me.
"I see potential, I go for it. Don't forget," He said and jumps back up at the stands.
"I won't forget it," I said and walked back to the crowd.

Later
I led Asta back to where Yami told me to meet him afterwards and we saw the group waiting on us.
"Sorry. Had a shit THIIIIS big!" Asta said as he looked a little nervous.
"STOP ANNOUNCING THAT," I said and smacked him in the back of the head. He chuckled and Yami just gave him a look.
"Anyway, everyone here?" Yami said as he looked at us. Navia and Bradley nods as I stretched my body out and Asta cleared his throat.
"We're missing one," Finral stated as he glanced at us and blinked a few times. Yami looked around and sighed.
"The princess. Of course," He said in annoyance, "Hold on. I'll get her." Yami disappeared around a corner and drags a blue haired girl behind him.
"Hey, you don't need to drag me! I'm a Silva! I don't get dragged like this!" she yelled in annoyance as she tried to pulled away.
"…That's the girl who can't control her magic," Navia said as she blinked at the girl. Noelle Silva… Oh, and the group is complete.
"Hush. If your family don't want you, we will take care of you. Just stop complaining and come on," Yami said seriously as he glanced down at her. Noelle frowned and looked away as he stood her up roughly.
"Wait, her family threw her out? What assholes," I said with a frown.
"Hey. Watch what you say about the Silva family! They are more powerful and any of you combined," Noelle said with a scoff.
"Yet, they tossed you aside? Nah, no respect for me if you gotta toss someone aside for petty reasons," I said as I folded my arms, "Why defend them?"
"All right. Save that for later. We're heading off to the guild," Yami said as he took a puff from his cigarette, "Finral, we are heading off. If you would need so kind…"
"Yes, sir!" Finral said as he held his hand out in front of him and summoned a portal in front of him.
"Here we go. Ladies first." Vert stood beside Bradley and led him through the portal.
"See you on the other side," Navia said as she waves to me and walked through the portal. Noelle frowned and looked away, not budging an inch. Yami gave her a deadly glare, making her flinch visibly and quickly walk through the portal. I stepped in after Noelle and felt like I was walking through jelly. Like, the portal itself was crazy soft! Going though it felt all jiggly and shit! We ended up on the other side of the portal and I looked up at a large several story building that had several layers that looked like floors to them. The building was colored black and white with some red added to it. There was a flag that had the symbol of the Black Bulls etched on the front and back waving in the wind.
"This looks very homey, actually…" I said and suddenly was knocked to the ground as something plows me from behind. Asta laid on top of me and I groaned out in pain.
"Ow…"
"Shouldn't stay in the way of the portal, kid," Yami said as he stepped out of the portal with Finral at his side and a goth male standing behind Yami. He looked super nervous. I got up and so did Asta, dusting ourselves off.
"…This is our guild? Don't look like much," Noelle said as she frowned.
"Don't knock till you try it, Noelle," I told her and looked at her, "So, do we go in, Sir?"
"Just call me Yami. Only Blondie gets away with calling me Sir, considering she is 2nd in command of the Black Bulls," Yami said as he took a smoke. I turned to Vert and she blushed at the title of 2nd in command.
"I'll go first!" Asta called as he ran ahead.
"Goddamn it, Asta…" I said softly as I walked after him. Asta made it to the door and the door BLEW UP OFF ITS HINGES! The doors sailed past Asta in pieces and nearly slam into me! I quickly summoned my Keyblade and smacked the debris away from me to the left. As the debris crashed to the ground, a body smacked into me and knocked me to the ground. Am I some sort of person magnet or something?!
"Seriously?! 3 in 1 day?!"
"Owwie… I hate it when the boys get rowdy…" a female voice said and I opened my eyes wide. That slow speech pattern… I know who that is! I looked at her carefully and realized… This was PLUTIA, AKA IRIS HEART. She was in her human form, dressed in her Victory outfit: Which was some pajama top and no pants, showing her panties fitting her rather plump butt and hips. Was she thiccer than I thought? She also had what looked like high D cup sized breasts that pushed up against her shirt and she had a black robe over her pajama top. Her light purple hair was tied in a long braid behind her. Her Grimoire was hanging off of a belt that was tied sideways on her hips. She was also bare foot… Wait, she had a slipper on. And, the other slipper was to my right.
"Plutia, I told you to keep an eye on everything… Did you fall asleep again?" Vert said as Plutia and I sat up. Plutia looked at me and smiled sweetly.
"Apologies, cute boy. Are you hurt? I can heal you," she said as she fixed her robe on her. I swear, I feel like I attract all the women here! This has never happened before!
"No… Umm…" I said nervously.
"Looks like you attract all the women, huh?" Yami called to me as he laughed at this. I covered my face and screamed in embarrassment as Plutia had question marks above her head. I sighed and stood up as Plutia stood up as well.
"Who is it this time?" Vert asked her.
"Luck, Magni, and Connor," Plutia said, "I was trying to break them up, but Maria told me something and I got distracted… And, one of Magni's fireballs hit me… And I went flying through the door."
"Your sister?" Finral asked with a smile.
"HI, Finny," Plutia smiled at him, "Yep. But, umm… Connor looked ready to pummel Luck." I blinked as Vert walked past them, looking quite annoyed.
"Welp, kids… Come with me," Yami said with a smirk. We all followed him to the building and stood at the doorway. There was fucking CHAOS happening all-around us. I could see 3 guys locked in combat, another looking at a picture frame with a nosebleed, a small girl eating what looked like a whole plate worth more than HALF her body weight, another girl bench pressing a HUGE ASS BARBELL with her muscles pulsing and she was locked in her reps, not caring what was going on around her; and, 2 females: a young adult girl and a woman laying against a bar, looking quite hungover. Oh, and I didn't mention the 2 HUGE BEINGS in the corner. Yeah, umm… Holy FUCK, there were so many people here than Canonically.
"What the fuck…?" I said softly with a sigh.
"Whoa…" Asta said softly.
"Welcome to the worst squad in the Magic Knights: Black Bulls!" Yami called as he folded his arms. Welp, this is my life now.
