Evolve that spell, Noelle!
Its the first night of the joint team being on the beach and currently the two water Mages of the Sword Of Logos are attempting to evolve Noelle's "Sea Dragon's Nest" spell.
However, they have a reached a road block.
"This isn't working at all." Noelle said as the water that the two have been controlling fell onto the sand.
"I'm sure we get it. We just need to be patient." Rintaro said in a reassuring tone of voice.
Noelle simply sighed in depression.
"I've only managed to control magic and learn a few spells, but evolving a spell? That's completely out of my league. The tricks that Vanessa showed us doesn't seemed to be working either." Noelle explained, causing a small frown to appear on Rintaro's face.
"I guess that this is a big step for you. But this is a secret mission that the Wizard King gave to the Sword Of Logos and the Black Bulls, there's nobody else we can ask for help." Rintaro pointed out, causing Noelle to slowly nod her head.
"I understand that, I can't let my lack of magical talent be an excuse for running away! I just have to keep on going until we get it right." Noelle said, causing a small smile to appear on Rintaro's face.
"Owch!" A voice suddenly shouted, causing the two water Mages to jump in surprise before turning around towards the source of the shout…..to see Asta with a crab on his toe.
"Get off me, you little-!" Asta shouted as he managed to kick the crab off his foot.
"Asta!? Are you okay?!" Rintaro asked in a shock tone of voice as he approach Asta and grab him before the ash-white hair boy could fall over.
"Yeah. I think I'm okay-" Asta said before wincing slightly.
"I think it's best if you sit down." Rintaro said as he guide Asta onto a rock to sit on.
"What are you doing out here, Asta?" Noelle asked, gaining a confused expression on her face.
"I was doing some training before that crab decided to attack me." Asta explained just as the silver hair girl notice Rekka in the ash-white hair teen's hand.
"Hmph. That would teach you a lesson to place you feet carefully, Bakasta." Noelle said, causing a shock expression to appear on Asta's face.
"It's night time! How would I know that there would be a crab scurrying about?!" Asta shouted, but Noelle only shrugged her shoulders in response.
"That's not my problem. And anyway, I thought that you can see your surrounds with fire magic." Noelle explained, causing Asta to growl slightly.
"Now, now. There's no need to fight you two…." Rintaro said in a nervous tone of voice, attempting to defuse the situation.
"So, how is your training going, you two?" Asta asked once he and Noelle calmed down.
"We're….not getting anyway." Rintaro replied in a defeated manner, which cause Noelle to gain a depress expression on her face.
"I would offer to help but…..I use a different magic." Asta said in a sheepish tone of voice.
"Wow. You're smarter than you look, Bakasta." Noelle commented, causing Asta to gain an annoyed expression on his face.
Before Rintaro can intervene and stop another heated argument, the three Sword Of Logos Magic Knights start to hear…..singing?
"Where is that singing coming from?" Asta asked, glancing around.
"There!" Rintaro said as he point towards the direction and three saw a young girl with long dark red hair that is tied in a pony tail.
Surrounding her are bubbles.
"What a beautiful voice. Is she from this area?" Noelle wondered as she stared at the girl.
"She is real? Not some ghostly singer or something?" Asta asked, causing Rintaro to blink his eyes slightly.
"I think she's real…." Rintaro responded, but knowing where Asta is coming from.
It was then that the girl opened her eyes, revealing them to be the same colour as her hair, and notice her small audience.
"KYAHHHHH! You heard me?! I'm so embarrassed!" The girl exclaimed in a high pitch tone of voice.
"There's go that illusion…" The Sword Of Logos Magic Knights thought at the same time, sweat-dropping.
"There's no point in getting worked up over something that already happened. So let me use this opportunity to make new friends. My name is Kohono, what's yours?" The known Kahono introduce herself as she began to approach the the Sword Of Logos Magic Knights.
"I'm Noelle, this is Rintaro and this is Bakasta." Noelle "introduce" the three of them to Kahono.
"Now you're just bullying him." Rintaro muttered just as Asta gained a shock expression on his face.
"So its Noelle, Rintaro and Bakasta. That's an unique name." Kahono commented, referring to Asta's "name".
"My name is not "Bakasta"! Noelle is just being mean!" Asta shouted with tears threatening to come out of his eyes.
"There's no need to be modest. There are a lot of people in this world that have strange names." Kahono said in a reassuring tone of voice.
"Now look what you started." Rintaro said, as he gestured with a arm towards the interaction between Asta and Kahono.
However, Noelle simply shrugged her shoulders.
"Its Asta's fault for being a dummy in the first place." Noelle said, causing Rintaro to sweat-drop.
The swordsman of water turned his attention towards Kahono and cleared his throat.
"What are you doing out here?" Rintaro asked, becoming curious.
"Practicing my singing. I love singing out here." Kahono replied, causing Asta and Noelle to become curious as well.
"Singing practice?" Noelle asked, tilting her head to the side slightly.
"That's right! I have a dream. To become an idol that sings and dances whilst using magic." Kahono explained in a excited tone of voice.
"What's an idol?" Asta and Noelle asked at the same time.
"What?! You don't know?!" Kahono responded in a shock tone of voice.
"An idol is a person with a famous imagery, attracting a lot of people. Right?" Rintaro explained before glancing towards Kahono.
"Yep, that's right! I'm going to ride the wave, become an idol and rake in the dough." Kahono explained with a excited expression on her face.
"You're doing this for the money?!" The three Sword Of Logos Magic Knights exclaimed in their heads at the same time.
It was then that Kahono notice something as she look towards Asta.
"Hey, Bakasta, you're looking a little drained there…." Kahono commented, causing Asta to blink his eyes in surprise.
"Yeah, I've been doing some training. I'm surprised that you noticed." Asta said as he glanced down at himself.
Kahono started to sing.
"Song Recovery Magic: Heal Lullaby." Kahono said as bubbles appeared around Asta and hit different parts of his body.
"Whoa! All of my fatigue as disappeared!" Asta said in amazed tone of voice.
"She just...hit every single point of muscle fatigue with pinpoint accuracy." Noelle thought in a amazed tone of voice.
"Each heal will cost you 100 Yul." Kahono said with a smile on her face.
"You're charging me for that!? And could you have mentioned the price before singing?!" Asta asked in a shock tone of voice.
"Since Kahono is interested in money, I think keeping the charges until afterwards seems like a nifty plan….even though it is sneaky." Rintaro thought with a thoughtful expression on his face whilst Asta pay Kahono.
"Hey, since we're pretty much close to the same age, why don't we be friends." Kahono said with a beaming smile on her face.
"Oh! Sure." Asta said with a smile on his face.
"That's an abrupt question, but okay…." Rintaro gave his response.
"S-since you're asking like this, I guess I will be-" Noelle began to say but was cut off by Kahono suddenly hugging the three Sword Of Logos Magic Knights.
"Yayy!" Kahono exclaimed excitedly before releasing them.
"Since we've become friends, let me give you a little bit of advice. When using your magic, you suppress your Mana too much and you lose control over what you're trying to do." Kahono explained to Noelle, causing a confuse expression to appear on the silver hair girl's face.
"What….you saw us practicing?" Noelle asked, starting to fret slightly whilst Kahono started to laugh nervously before speaking again.
"When I hear the sound of the waves, I can easily relax. Its then that I can use my magic as I please. This is what I think: true concentration only comes when one's mind is at peace." Kahono explained, yet Noelle gained a confuse expression on her face.
"What are some of the best memories that you have? Like with your family for example." Kahono suggested with a smile on her face.
However, Asta and Rintaro stiffen whilst an depress expression appear on Noelle's face.
"Hm?" Kahono said, becoming curious at the reaction.
"Noelle has a….strained relationship with her family….." Rintaro explained nervously.
"Ah." Kahono said before quickly attempting to come up with another suggestion.
"Why don't you focus on positive emotions. You seem to have a lot of that whilst being your friends." Kahono suggested quickly, causing a frown to appear on Noelle's face.
"I guess that makes sense. You've been learning new spells ever since you joined the Sword Of Logos due to having positives emotions, but you've been having negative emotions due to your siblings-" Rintaro began to say but was cut off as Asta jab his elbow into his stomach.
"Rintaro. That's an inappropriate topic whilst there is someone here." Asta hissed slightly, causing Rintaro to widen his eyes before glancing towards Noelle who has become silent.
"….Thanks for the advice Kahono. I'm going to practice some more." Noelle finall said before walking away.
"Nice going." Asta said, causing a sheepish expression to appear on Rintaro's face.
With Kahono, the song magic user has a sad-looking expression on her own face.
Throughout the week, Noelle and Rintaro have been training diligently to evolve the silver hair girl's "Sea Dragon's Nest" spell with Kahono helping the two water Mages and Asta giving them support.
Right now, its the last day before the full moon is due to appear.
"This is our last chance of getting this right. We need to succeed." Noelle thought we a determined expression on her face.
Throughout the week, the two water Mages have been able to make some progress, but nothing that can be defined as success.
"Hey. I just thought of something." Asta suddenly said, causing everyone to look at the ash-white hair teen.
"I think that you should just release all your magic at once, similar to the time that we first meet each other. Like what Kahono said, you've been suppressing your Mana too much. If you let your Mana go wild, then you may do a lot better then you are now." Asta explained, causing Noelle to widen her eyes.
"Don't be an idiot, Bakasta! I just drown myself again." Noelle responded back.
"So? Me and Rintaro will simple save you again." Asta said in a reassuring tone of voice.
Noelle looked towards Rintaro who nodded his head.
"…..Fine. But you better keep your word." Noelle said before releasing all of her Mana at once.
"Whoa! How powerful is Noelle?!" Kahono exclaimed as the water started to surround Noelle, effectively trapping her in a sphere of water.
"Very powerful. She's royalty after all." Rintaro responded as he used his magic to stabilize the water that has been summoned.
"What?! Noelle's royalty?!" Kahono exclaimed in shock.
From within the sphere of water, Noelle is trying her best to concentrate against the amount of water that she summon.
"I can't do it. How am I supposed to keep my mind calm in a state like this? When it all comes down to it, I can't. All because….I have a past full of unpleasant memories and negative emotions." Noelle thought as she started to feel herself slipping away.
"Noelle!" Multiple voices shouted at the same time, causing Noelle to snap open her eyes and looked towards where the voices are coming from and saw everyone standing on the beach.
"Come on, Noelle! You can do it, show the world the girl who became the Kamen Rider known as Joyeuse." Donna said with a reassuring smile on her face.
"Stop wasting that Mana of yours and fight me when you learn to control it!" Rin shouted with an excited expression on her face.
"Make your mother proud, Noelle! I know that Lady Acier is looking down on you will a smile on her face." Ryo said with grin on her face.
"Sora looks up to you. I'm sure he will be sad if you don't succeeded." Charlotte said with a warm smile on her face.
"I'll cook something delicious if you managed to succeed." Fiona said with a small grin on her face.
"What the hell, Noelle!? You aren't the same person that I met at Sosshi village, pull yourself together!" Magna said with a mad expression on his face.
"Come on, come on. I wanna fight you." Luck said as he punched the air slightly.
"I'll give you a special drink if you managed to succeed." Vanessa said whilst holding a bottle in her hands.
"Its because you're hungry, right? Finish up and eat to your heart's content." Charmy said whilst holding up a massive plate of food.
"If you fall, I'll catch you gently in my arms." Finral said whilst winking.
"No, if you fall, I'll kick you back up there." Gauche said blankly.
"Just get it done, dammit!" Grey shouted whilst transformed as Magna.
"You can do it, Noelle!" Everyone shouted at the same time.
"Everyone…." Noelle thought with widened eyes.
"Even though my past is full of bad memories and negative emotions….the time I spent with the Sword Of Logos replaced those…." Noelle thought before gaining a determined expression on her face.
"Since everyone have high hopes for me, I need to meet their expectations." Noelle thought as she started to concentrate.
After a few seconds, Noelle's Grimoire started to glow before opening and flipping to a blank page.
The silver hair girl's eyes widened as writing started to appear on the page.
"I think she done it!" Rintaro said as he and everyone else felt that Noelle's Mana seemed to have calmed down.
"I...did it." Noelle muttered with a wide smile on her face.
However, it was then that Noelle's newly gained spell lost it shape.
"Oops." Noelle said before falling.
"I got you!" Finral said as he held his arms out.
However, someone else caught the silver hair girl instead.
"Well done, Noelle. You did it!" Asta said with a wide smile on his face.
A small blush started to appear on Noelle's face.
"W-who do you think you're putting your filthy paws on, Bakasta!" Noelle shouted before punching the ash-white hair teen.
"Owch!" Asta exclaimed before quickly placing Noelle on the ground.
"Oh come on…..I'm the one who supposed to catch her…." Finral said in a depress tone of voice just as everyone else surround Noelle and congratulate her.
"Heh. That Silva girl of yours managed to break her limits." Yami said with a smirk on his face.
"Indeed, and just in time as well." Sophia said, she having been feeling worried that Noelle and Rintaro won't be able to meet the deadline.
At some distance away, Kahono is observing the scene.
"You certainly have good teammates and friends within the Magic Knights, Noelle." Kahono commented with a smirk on her face.
"I'll be waiting…..at the Seabed Temple." Kahono said as she turned around and jump into the ocean.
"Have a safe journey, everyone." Charlotte said as she looked at everyone.
Currently, its the day that the full moon is out, meaning that its the perfect time for the joint Magic Knight squad team to make their way towards the Seabed Temple.
The only people who aren't going on the mission are Charlotte, Sora and Fiona.
Surprisingly, Nero decided to join on the mission as well.
"We will. Have you got your communication device at the ready?" Sophia asked, causing Charlotte to nod her head in response.
"Communication device?" Asta asked, tilting his head to the side.
"That's right. Even though Char isn't taking part in the mission, she will communicate us if anything happens on the surface." Ryo explained, causing Asta to nod his head slightly.
"Are we be able to communicate with each other despite being in the strong magic region?" Rin asked, becoming confuse.
"Not normally, but the Magic Knights have developed special communication devices that are specially designed to work with strong magic regions." Sophia explained, causing most of the Magic Knights to widen their eyes.
"Mainly with my help." Tetsuo added, causing Sophia to nod her head.
"Really?! Mr Daishinji created them?" Mostly everyone thought at the same time.
"Why do I have the feeling that you lot don't believe me?" Tetsuo asked in a dark tone of voice along with a glare in his eyes.
This caused everyone to shiver slightly.
"We're wasting time. Noelle, do your stuff." Yami said, causing the silver hair girl to nod her head.
Noelle took a few steps forward towards the sea before opening her Grimoire.
"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Cradle!" Noelle announced, causing a large hollow sphere of water to appear in the air.
"Bye-bye!" Sora said just as everyone entered Noelle's new spell.
"Is everyone on board?" Yami asked as he glanced around and saw that everyone is present.
"Nicely done, Noelle. We're in your hands until we reached our destination." Yami said as he patted the silver hair girl's head.
"Right you are! Let's move!" Noelle said as she started to move "Sea Dragon's Cradle".
"He complimented me!" Noelle thought in a excited tone of voice.
"Now its basically a waiting game for us." Fiona said simply as she, Charlotte and Sora watched "Sea Dragon's Cradle" disappeared underneath the waves.
"Indeed. But first, time for you to go to bed, Sora." Charlotte said as she look towards Sora, causing the child to start pouting.
"This is so cool! We're riding through the ocean!" Finral said in amazed tone of voice.
As everyone was in a state of awe, Magna looked forwards and gained a shock expression on his face.
"What is that supposed to be!?" Magna shouted, causing everyone to jump slightly before focusing their attention forwards to see two giant whirlpools.
"Buckle up everyone, things may get bumpy." Yami said with a small smile on his face just as "Sea Dragon's Cradle" entered between the two giant whirlpools.
Even though everyone prepared themselves, they all got thrown about due to the uneasy currents.
"This is supposed to it's weakened state?!" Ryo asked in a shock tone of voice.
"How are you doing, Noelle?" Sophia asked as she attempted to steady herself.
"I'm fine….I just need to concentrate." Noelle responded as she glance over her shoulder, causing the captain of the Sword Of Logos to nod her head.
"The current isn't actually forcing us out….more like the Mana is guiding me. I can do this." Noelle thought, feeling relived that she's only doing half of the work.
"I think…..I'm going to hurl….." Vanessa said as she cover her mouth.
"Don't do it in here! Stick your head out of the sphere!" Tetsuo said in an alarmed tone of voice.
"Hm? I think the currents is slowing down." Rintaro commented as he and everyone else felt that the bumpy ride is calming down.
After a few a seconds, "Sea Dragon's Cradle" emerged onto the bottom of the ocean.
"Whoa, its so beautiful." Donna said in a awe tone of voice as she everyone else stared at the scenery.
"There are a lot of creatures I never seen before. Marie would love to see them." Gauche muttered as he saw a glowing fish.
"It looks like that the marine life here has evolve due to the concentration of Mana." Yami said as he observe the surroundings, becoming on guard in case a hostile sea creature decided to show itself.
Charmy was drooling.
"Do you think….they tastes good? I'm going to capture some!" Charmy exclaimed as she began to make her way towards the edge of "Sea Dragon's Cradle".
"Are you out of your mind?! You'll be turned into fish food!" Magna said as he managed to grab hold of Charmy.
It was then that Noelle notice something up ahead.
"That whirlpool….its made of Mana. We won't be able to pass though it." Noelle said as she stared at giant whirlpool that is directly in front of them.
"How about using our Wonder-Ride books. That may do the trick." Rintaro said as he held up "Lion Senki".
Knowing what Rintaro is referring and got out "Swift Dolphin".
The two mechanical partners of Noelle and Rintaro appeared and head straight towards the whirlpool, luckily not damaging Noelle's spell.
Everyone watched as Swift Dolphin and Lion Senki made an opening through the whirlpool.
"Well, here we go." Ryo commented as "Sea Dragon's Cradle" entered through the opening.
And there we have it, Noelle and Rintaro evolving "Sea Dragon's Nest", Kahono making her appearance and the gang making their way to the Seabed Temple. I somehow have a feeling that people may think that is a step back from Noelle's progress. However, Noelle is evolving a spell, so there is a difference between learning a new spell rather and evolving a pre-existing spell. By the way, when I was writing this chapter, I accidentally wrote Kahono's price as 200 Yul rather than 100 Yul, Hehehe.
So in Kamen Rider Revice, it is revealed that the "Ptera" Vistamp doesn't give Revi and Vice a Remix form for the Ptera Genome. The episode also revealed how people can merge with their Deadmans through an advanced contract, gaining a completely new form, which is then linked to the revival of Giff, with six phase 2 forms needed. I think this advance contract may work with Revi and Vice, allowing them to access a power-up form, the final form seems most likely. So next time on Revice will show the usage of the "lion" Vistamp and the appearance of the next Rider of the series, Kamen Rider Evil who uses a arm blade-like transformation device and the "Bat" Vistamp. I think the name comes from the fact that most people see devils as evil beings. So we just have to wait until the Rider who uses the unknown red and black Driver appears.
So we got more news for Saber's V-Cinema which involves a picture of Espda's gold and blue Arabiana Night super form and news about the villain who is supposedly Rintaro's father and transforms into Kamen Rider Falchion but uses the "Amazing Siren" Wonder-Ride book instead of "Eternal Phoenix".
So in Black Clover, Zenon revealed that he has the heart of a devil due to his pact with Beelzebub, making him a devil himself and Finral appeared. So the next chapter will mainly focus on support-type spatial magic and a attack-type spatial magic verses a devil-formed Zenon. I just thought of something a bit amusing. Shown in Zenon's flashback, Dante and Vanica had a habit of calling their youngest brother pathetic due to him getting beating up all of the time, but in the present, Zenon called Dante pathetic because the host of Lucifero made grand speech about having "all life within my hand", but ended up getting defeated by Asta and Yami.
Please review and until next time.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) Well, you're certainly right about Finral appearing, leading to some sort of brother bonding.
2) I guess the only possible way that we can get an actual answer is if the fourth sibling makes a appearance in the Spade Kingdom invasion arc, which is likely since he's the reason why the Dark Traid are devil hosts in the first place. The reason for this is because Zenon seems to have a much stronger bond with the fourth sibling than with Dante and Vanica, so its very likely that he may have met Allen in the past during Zenon's days as a defense Mage. We may get a teaser revilement from Zenon when he is on the verge of death and Asta suddenly appears, causing the host of Beelzebub to recall a distant memory which contains him, Allen and Richita but doesn't give an actual answer. I'm not sure if the Devil will be Lucifer because the Black Clover version of Lucifer is Lucifero, but it could be that the fourth sibling managed to make a pact with Lucifugus, considering the fact that he "supported" his younger siblings into becoming Devil hosts.
3) Magna sitting Crazy Cyclone along with Noelle and Asta: Right! Time to get going!
Vice possessing Crazy Cyclone: Hehehehe...time for my time to shine.
Crazy Cyclone suddenly shooting off.
Noelle holding onto dear life: Magna! What are you doing?! Slow down!
Magna attempted to gain control over Crazy Cyclone: I don't know?! It never does this before!
Asta wrapping his arms around Noelle.
Noelle: Hey! Watch where you are touching me!
Asta: S-sorry!
Vice: These Magic Knights are a lively lot.
4) I think about it, thanks for the suggestion.
5) Kirch watching Dorothy playing with Noelle in the Glamour World: Captain...shouldn't we tell Noelle's brother about her amnesia?
Dorothy: And ruin the fun? Absolutely not.
Kirch sweat-dropping in response.
A different scene:
Solid picking on Noelle: Oh? And what is the disgrace of the Silva family doing here? Has Mereleone decided that you aren't the even worth the effect to train you?
Noelle gave Solid a deadly glare: Shut up, Solid.
Solid becoming startled at first before getting angry: Why did you say to me you little-
Noelle attacking Solid with a "Sea Dragon's Roar" spell.
Some distance away Nebra has a shock expression on her face whilst Mereleone has a smile on her face.
Mereleone: That's my girl.
6) Whilst that may be true, there will be a few nobles who still resent Yami because of him being a foreigner.
7) Yes, that may work.
