What's up everyone! Ready for a new chapter?
Welcome, Nero
"Well, things certainly went different than we thought." Sophia commented as she stand in front of the returned Magic Knights along with Tetsuo and Fiona.
Currently, all six of them are in the meeting room.
"It certainly did." Rintaro said with a sheepish smile on his face.
"Did you three at least managed to locate what caused that unknown magic signal?" Tetsuo asked whilst becoming curious, along with Sophia and Fiona.
"Yes, its here." Asta replied before moving his hand towards the hood piece of his Magic Knight robe and took out the black bird.
"…A anti-magic bird?" Sophia asked whilst raising an eyebrow.
"No. The magic signal is coming from the stone in the bird's mouth." Asta explained making the captain of the Sword Of Logos nod her head, noticing the pink stone.
"What did you do to make it mad?" Tetsuo asked as he, whilst avoiding eye contact, and Fiona became slightly nervous under the anti-magic bird's mean-looking eyes.
"We didn't do anything! I think it its normal expression." Asta explained quickly.
"Tetsuo, would you please start analyzing this stone as soon as you can. It must have some value if the Megid are keen on getting their hands on it." Sophia instructed, causing Tetsuo to nod his head before attempting to take the pink stone out of the bird's mouth, but to no avail.
"Hehehe. The bird seemed keen not to let go off the stone." Asta explained in a sheepish tone of voice.
Tetsuo frowned for a few seconds before deciding to lift the entire bird and walked out of the meeting room.
"…..Captain Sophia. If our theory that the mages from the Clover Kingdom and Megid are working together is correct, then would this be first time that humans have joined forces with the Megid…apart from Calibur." Noelle asked, including the obvious fact.
This caused a frown to appear on Sophia's face.
"Not that I'm aware of. The Megid have in the past joined forces with other factions in the Wonder World, though. But this is the first time that the Megid have joined forces with someone from the Clover Kingdom." Sophia explained, making Noelle nod her head.
"I think its best if we wait until we hear word from the investigation department about that group of mages that attempted to kill the residence of Sosshi village." Sophia explained, making the remaining four people nod their heads.
It's the next day and Sophia is in her office, doing some paperwork until a circular device on her desk started to glow.
"Hm? Whose contacting me?" Sophia thought, becoming curious as she took the communication device and opened the lid.
A hologram of a muscular man with short black hair and grey eyes. Draped over his shoulder is a black tattered banner with the emblem of the Black Bulls on it.
"Greetings, Captain Yami." Sophia greeted, having expected that the captain of the Black Bulls would contact her at some point.
"Hello, Sophia. Good to see that your doing well." Yami commented, causing Sophia to smile slightly.
"I'm calling to discuss about that unexpected joint mission that happened yesterday." Yami said, causing Sophia to nod her head, her smile disappearing.
"I expected that was the case. Has there been any word from the investigation department? I was told by my Magic Knights that it was your Magic Knight that would report to them." Sophia asked, causing Yami to sigh.
"I'm sorry to say this but the investigation department haven't came up with something solid even with that stopwatch that was brought back from the mission. From the personality of that ice mage alone, it is obvious that he's a noble. But beyond that, nothing else." Yami explained, making Sophia nod her head sadly.
"I see….." Sophia said in a low tone of voice.
"What about your end? Magna said that your Magic Knights have collected a stone…..along with a new pet bird." Yami asked, a smirk appearing on his face at the end.
"We're currently analyzing the stone, so I'm sure that it won't be long until we get the results. As for the bird…I guess having it as a pet does sound like a good idea…..even if it does have mean-looking expression in it's eyes all of the time." Sophia explained, causing Yami to laugh slightly.
"By the way, Magna also told me that water Magic Knight of yours, the male one, fought a monster based on the story of "Booted Cat"." Yami commented, causing Sophia to nod her head.
"Yes. That is correct." Sophia responded, causing the captain of the Black Bulls to take a deep sigh.
"I know that the Sword Of Logos does it own missions, like restoring those missing lands, but fighting monsters based on stories, that's something new." Yami commented, causing Sophia to smile slightly.
"The monster we fight aren't only based on stories, they can be based on animals or mythical creatures." Sophia explained, causing Yami to nod his head slightly before frowning slightly.
"Those motif sounds similar to those amours that your Magic Knights wore and can alter." Yami commented in a slight suspicious tone of voice, causing Sophia to become tense at the tone of voice.
"I'm telling you. Its name should be Silvantus Schnauzer." Noelle argued.
Currently the rest of the Sword Of Logos members are in the common room area and are in a conversation about what name should they give to the anti-magic bird.
"I don't know…it does sound a mouthful." Asta said, whilst having the anti-magic bird on his head, which seemed to be its favorite spot.
"Well, do you have any ideas?" Noelle asked, raising an eyebrow.
"…" Asta said nothing, having no ideas in his head.
This prompted the anti-magic bird to start pecking at the ash-white hair teen's head.
"Owowowow! Stopping pecking me!" Asta shouted in annoyance.
"Don't you think its a good idea if we find out about the bird's gender before giving it a name." Rintaro pointed out, causing Asta, Noelle and Fiona, Tetsuo was avoiding eye contact whilst listening to the conversation, to stare at the wielder of Nagare.
"…..That is a good point." Noelle commented before she turned her attention towards the anti-magic bird.
Despite the seemingly stuck expression on it's face, the anti-magic bird became nervous under everyone's gazed.
After a few seconds of silence, the anti-magic bird pointed a wing towards Noelle.
"Can someone please tell me the bird's response. I can't see properly." Asta said, having difficulties in seeing the anti-magic bird's response.
"Its a female." Tetsuo responded, making Asta nod his head slightly, making sure not to make the anti-magic bird fall off his head, although a part of him wanted to as payback for all the pecking.
"What about "Nero", because of her feathers." Fiona offered and the anti-magic bird nodded her head in response, making everyone, apart from Asta, surprise.
"I guess "Nero" it is then." Rintaro said whilst Noelle started to pout.
"Why couldn't it be my suggestion?" Noelle thought, feeling depress.
"Is there something wrong, Noelle?" Asta asked, noticing the pout of the silver hair girl's face.
"N-nothing! I'm fine!" Noelle replied in a high pitch tone of voice, causing Asta to blink his eyes in confusion.
It was then that a thought appeared in Fiona's head.
"I just realize something. For a while, I sometime saw a black feathered bird flying around the base when I'm doing my chores." Fiona said in a slow tone of voice. This cause everyone to become surprise.
"…Now that you mentioned it. I may have seen something similar….." Tetsuo said, frowning slightly.
"Have you been flying around the base for a while now and only show yourself now?" Asta asked the newly christened Nero, glancing upwards to have a better view of her.
The anti-magic bird stared down at the ash-white hair teen for a few seconds before chirping slightly whilst nodding her head.
"You know there's no need to hide. We're all friendly, Nero." Asta said with a small smile on his face.
However, Nero decided to peck Asta.
"I was saying a compliment, you know!" Asta exclaimed as he tried to stop Nero pecking him.
"I see that everyone is getting along with our new pet." A voice spoke, causing everyone to turn their heads to see Sophia approaching them, whilst seemingly carrying something, who turned her attention towards Tetsuo.
"Tetsuo. How did the analyzing with the stone went?" Sophia asked, causing everyone to become curious as they look at the Mechanic of the Sword Of Logos.
However, Tetsuo sighed sadly.
"Nothing. The stone didn't react to anything I did. The only thing I did managed to discover was that the stone was created a long time ago." Tetsuo explained, causing Sophia to gain a sad expression on her face.
"I see. What about Nero? She was radiating the same magic signal." Sophia asked, causing Tetsuo to stiffen slightly.
"I…..was too nervous to study Nero due to her mean-looking expression….." Tetsuo said in a nervous tone of voice.
This cause Sophia to shake her head slightly.
"I see. That's a shame….. but on a more positive note, the Wizard King have awarded us with six stars due to the mission you three went on. Two for each of you." Sophia said whilst holding up six stars in her hands, causing everyone, apart from Asta and Nero, to perk up at this.
"Stars?" Asta asked, tilting his head to the side.
"When Magic Knights have successfully completed a mission, the Wizard King rewards the the corresponding squad with Gold Stars. Its basically a competition amongst the ten Magic Knight Squads." Rintaro explained just as Sophia walked over to a board where gold stars are already present.
"And that put us at 50 stars. Good work you three." Tetsuo said to the three Magic Knights that went on the mission.
"Hmf. Naturally it would be easy task to gain Gold Stars." Noelle said calmly whilst flipping one of her pigtails over her shoulder.
"Yes! I can't believe I got awarded two gold stars!" Noelle exclaimed in her head in a happy tone of voice.
"So which squad has the most stars?" Asta asked, becoming curious.
"The Magic Knight squad who currently has the most Gold Stars is the Golden Dawn, with 70 gold stars. Whilst the Black Bulls are in last place, with 30 black stars." Sophia explained, making Asta blink his eyes in confusion.
"If Magic Knights does badly on a mission, then gold stars will be taken away and if the Magic Knight squad goes below zero, then they start receiving black stars." Noelle explained, having a good guess at what Asta is thinking about.
"I guess that makes for the Black Bulls to be in the minus numbers due to all the trouble they get into." Asta "said" in his head before he gained a thought.
"Does the Wizard King knows what we do? As in fighting the Megid and collecting Wonder-Ride books." Asta asked, making Sophia nod her head.
"The current Wizard King, Julius Novachrono, does know about the Sword Of Logos mission along with the existence of Wonder World." Sophia explained, making Asta nod his head.
"If you do get the honor of meeting the Wizard King, you should be careful around him." Tetsuo advised, making both Asta and Noelle gained confuse expressions on their faces.
"Why is that?" Noelle asked, raising an eyebrow.
"He's fanatic when it comes to any new types of magic. And since there are multiple Wonder-Ride books, he gets excited about the different combinations that they can bring." Tetsuo explained, making both Asta and Noelle nod their heads, along with becoming surprise.
"So….is there anyone else in the Magic Knights that knows the existence of Wonder World?" Asta asked, becoming curious.
"There's one other person I'm aware of that does know the existence of Wonder World. It was that person who then told me about Wonder World in the first place and also taught me how to wield a sword." Noelle replied, making Asta blinked his eyes.
"I thought that it Captain Sophia who told Noelle. I wonder who her teacher is?" Asta thought, becoming more curious.
"Hah! That's a nice training session." Asta said with a smile on his face as he walked towards his room, having done some training within Liberation.
When the ash-white hair teen opened the door to his room, which include a bed, a wardrobe and a small desk, and walked in, he notice something hanging from a wall.
"What…..?" Asta said in confusion as he stared the object which is a small house made of wood. Carved on the right of the doorway in the name "Nero".
"So this is were Nero will be sleeping then…."Asta commented as he took a closer look at the birdhouse.
As he examine the birdhouse, Nero suddenly stick her head out of the doorway.
"GAH!" Asta exclaimed as he stumbled backwards and crash on the floor.
"N-N-Nero?!" Asta said in a shock tone of voice as the anti-magic bird fully emerged from the doorway.
It was then that a knocking is heard from the door to the ash-white hair teen's room.
"Asta?! Is everything okay in there?!" The voice of Fiona said through the door, sounding alarmed.
Asta got off the ground and opened the door.
"I'm fine. I just got a shock when I saw Nero sticking her head out of the doorway." Asta explained, gesturing towards the birdhouse. This cause Fiona to sigh in relief. "Thank god. I thought something more worse has happened." Fiona said in a relieved tone of voice.
"Sorry for making you worried…Do you know where the birdhouse came from?" Asta asked, glancing towards the birdhouse.
"I made it." Fiona replied, making Asta surprise.
"R-really?" Asta asked, making Fiona nod her head.
"Yep. I'm pretty skilled at woodwork. I thought that since Nero will be staying with us, she's need somewhere to sleep. I was meaning to tell you about the birdhouse earlier." Fiona explained, gaining a sheepish expression on her face at the end.
"And why did you decided to place Nero's house in my room?" Asta asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I thought that since Nero seems to be around you a lot, I place the birdhouse in your room….Plus I thought you be thrilled at having a female room-mate." Fiona explained, gaining a smirk on her face.
Asta started to blush slightly at what implications Fiona is implying.
"I-I highly doubt anything will happen between me and Nero…..apart from the pecking." Asta said and just to prove his point, Nero, who is sitting on the ash-white hair teen's head this entire time, started to peck him.
"You see!" Asta exclaimed in pain. Fiona stared at what is happening in front of her for a few seconds before starting to smile.
However, from around the corner, Noelle, who has overheard the conversation, is gritting her teeth.
"Oh come on! Nero's is sleeping in Asta's room!" Noelle exclaimed in her head, pouting in disappointment.
"Fweh! I thought this mission would never end." A female in her late teens with amber colour hair, that have streaks of gold in it, amber eyes said as she stretched her arms.
Laying beside her is a pile of lizard-like monsters.
"Heh. I wonder what the others have been doing whilst I was away?" The female asked herself as she dropped her arms, revealing that she is wearing the Sword Of Logos robes.
And there we have it, Nero's introduction to the Sword Of Logos and we found out that the Wizard King knows about Wonder World plus a small amount of Noelle's mysterious teacher. I hope you guys enjoyed the small teaser on a upcoming member of the Sword Of Logos. Last week, some Kamen Rider Saber rumors were released. For those we don't know, the rumors include:
1) Kamen Rider Saber will acquire a new Wonder-Ride book that will help him control his Primitive Dragon form, forming a handshake.
2) Kamen Rider Blades will acquire a new power-up form whose Wonder-Ride book is based on a e-reader.
3) The next/last Kamen Rider of the series will appear under the control of Master Logos who doesn't transform into a Rider form.
4) Kamen Rider Saber will transform into his final form through the use of a new Holy Sword that uses the powers of the other Holy Swords. It also has three modes.
5) Kento will return, transforming into a new Kamen Rider Calibur through the usage of a new Holy Sword and new Wonder-Ride book.
Even though these are just rumors, it will be exciting to see what the actual information will be. Please review and until next time.
Phantom Thief Of Heart:
1) Your welcome.
2) Yep, Nero is finally here. And yes, Magna will have a interesting report to give to Captain Yami.
3)Yep, poor Rintaro.
4) Ohhhh, That is an interesting idea. Storious did work with Calibur behind the other general's backs in the show.
5) The Dungeon mission won't happen just yet...which include the new character.
6) I actually did made a mistake, but I edited the mistake a few days later.
7) How exactly does bikinis and swimsuits relate to comic books?
8) Don't be, just enjoy the story.
9) Thank you!
10) Someone did ask that last week. I will write that into the story.
11) You will be surprise about Noelle's sword skills in a future chapter.
12) He was referring to Calibur...but with your idea about only Storious being the only Megid general, it could be a certain skull-face swordsman.
13) Yuri will mostly use light magic whilst his rider-form/shadow puppet uses darkness magic. I am wondering how the Clover Kingdom will react when they see a floating sword and a Grimoire flying into battle by themselves.
14) Thank you for the idea.
15) I bet Sylph will start lifting wights when she meets Tanker Bell.
16) You're welcome.
17) Yeah, most likely.
18) Well, people were wondering if the Black Bulls will appear in the story.
19) Yeah...hopefully things will get better for him.
20) I bet that a majority of the cannon characters will be sneezing.
21) I'm not sure about the rest of the Magic Knight squads, but there will be equipment such as that at the main Headquarters of the Magic Knights.
22) According to the the rumors, the eleventh Holy Sword will be used by Kamen Rider Saber to transform into his final form. But it will be interesting to see new Holy Swords for special episodes or other media's. Also according to the rumors, Kento will likely return to the show but transform into Kamen Rider Calibur.
23) I guess that makes sense.
24) It will be cool if Kamen Rider Falchion does appear in the show.
25) Don't worry, I have things planned out.
26) I try to balance things out.
27) You will find out about other character's opinion on the Sword Of Logos during the Dungeon arc.
28) Yes, Rintaro is referring to the Book Gate Wonder-Ride book.
deltadragon373: Thank you for pointing this out to me and I changed it.
