They all gathered at the tower inside the headquarters as requested by the Magic King. He was intrigued by Yuno's new spell, which he earned when conquering the dungeon.

"Well done acquiring this." Julius praised. "This magic was probably the most important relic in that dungeon."

"You can read that?" Yuno's eyes widen in awe at the man standing in front of him.

"Somewhat."

"The most important relic! So cool!" Asta sweats, also gaping at his words.

"Hm—I see." His eyes then sparkle with twinkling surrounding his expression in excitement.

'There it is—' Kana's eyes twitch knowingly, and she sighs internally. 'He really can't control himself.'

"Hey, would you try using this magic?" Julius's tone pitches up in excitement as he approaches the four clovers owner. "Please?!"

"I'm sorry. I think it activated in the dungeon once, but— I haven't been able to use it since."

"What?" The king's expression turn solemn in disappointment. "I see— Aw, that's too bad."

Noelle smiles awkwardly at his sudden change and looks over Kana, who shrugs as she gives her a knowing smile with her eyes close.

"All I can say, for now, is that this spell will grow with you and, one day, become an extraordinary power. Take good care of it." Julius state and give the grimoire back to its owner.

"Yes, sir."

"Wizard King! My grimoire has some weird scribbles in it, too!" Asta, who has been holding himself, finally presents his grimoire. He proudly opens them as he shows them over the man. "Please look at it!"

"Hey, you're rude!" Klaus warns him, but Julius didn't seem to mind as he peeks over the contents looking in interest.

"This is—"

"This is?!"

"Something I can't read at all." The time magic-user confess making Asta fall hard on the ground in shocks.

"Hm, I've never even seen this writing any documents."

As the king couldn't interpret his grimoire, Asta decided to show it over the man himself. "This thing pops out of it! Take a look!"

"Ah, a second anti-magic sword!"

"I have never seen him used that before," Kana states as she watches from the side-line.

"He got it during the dungeon's mission," Mimosa explains lowly, not wanting to attract the other. "Because of him, we were able to defeat the Diamond Kingdom's people. Asta truly is a strong guy."

"I see." Kana keep on staring at her, making the noble girl finally realize what she just said. Her face reddens in seconds, and she quickly covers herself, mumbling something the red-haired girl couldn't understand.

"A-a-are you okay?" She nervously asks as she watches Mimosa wriggling around with her face still covered.

"Well anyway," Julius's voice makes both of the girls glance back at him. "You all did splendidly. Good work."

"U-u-um, d-d-do you have a moment?" Asta stammer nervously.

"Hm? What is it?"

"H-how...."

Kana sigh out loud with a smile. "There it is—" She can see that even Yuno has wanted to ask the same question as the shorter boy is as he glances over at him then at the man himself.

"....do you become the Wizard King?" They ask in sync.

Julius was a bit taken back, making him laugh knowingly. "I see. So you both want to become the Wizard King. Any Magic Knight should have that aspiration." He then peeks over their shoulders. "They are exactly how you said they were." He flashes her a smile.

Kana smile back at him. "Told you."

"Y-y-you two knows each other?" Klaus looks back and forth between them.

"Kind of." The Crimson Lion's member deadpan.

"A-and you two! It isn't polite to ask the Wizard King that directly. Listen. The Wizard King must be proud and have the trust of the people—"

"No." Julius cut off his explanation as his expressions turn serious. "It's merit. You can't protect others with pride, and the trust of others comes with merit. There is only one thing people want from the Wizard King..... Merits that prove they are the best. Gain merit. Continuously gaining merit is everything. Anyone who can't do that can never stand at the top."

"Bring it on!" Both boys declare all in the meanwhile, Kana's expression turns unreadable.

Julius let out a genuine laugh as he found them quite interesting. "Now, then.... We're holding a decoration ceremony for the Magic Knights, who've been awarded an astounding number of starts today."

"Deco........?" Asta mumble in confusion.

"Decoration ceremony." He rephrases. "It's a ceremony where we award those who have done exceptionally well and honor them."

"Wow~"

"I would love for all of you to join us."

"Huh?"

As they all walk into the building where the ceremony will be held, the guards stood by each side from the entryway to the enormous door that greeted them.

"I wonder what decoration ceremonies are like," Asta asks nobody.

"Now then...." Julius starts as the door slowly creaking open, revealing bright light coming from the other side of the room. "Can you give me better results than them?"

As the door finally opens widely, there are numbers of people from various squads stood inside of the room as they wait for the arrival of the Magic King.

"Now, then— let us begin the decoration ceremony."

Upon the announcement, Kana walks over to where her captain is standing and Leopold by his side.

"W-where are you going?" Asta whisper-yell at her.

"Hmm? Oh, didn't I told you?" Tilting her head a little, she states. "I was invited to the award ceremony."

"Eh?!" Both Asta and Yuno's eyes bulge out in shocks making her blush, but she goes and stands beside Leopold instead of explaining any further.

She can feel the burning glare given to her from every direction, but she paid no mind over them.

"Why are you so late?" Leopold asks her.

She shows him the wrist where the bracelet with Muku inside of it. "Muku was having another tantrum. He was stubborn again about not wanting to be in there."

"I see." He nods, understanding. "He must be feeling a bit lonely in there."

The stone dangling over the bracelet brighten a little as if Muku agreeing with his words.

"See."

Kana sigh. "It's like I like this too. But he needs to be in there."

"Focus both of you." Fuegoleon scolds.

"Y-yes, sir!"

-Meanwhile, from the back-

Yuno narrows his eyes as he watches Kana smiling as she talks with her squad member.

Knowing fully well about the dark-haired boy situation, Asta pats his shoulder, grinning widely. "Calm down, will you?! Kana-chan just—"

Kana suddenly chuckles softly at whatever Leopold was talking about, earning them another scold from their captain.

"Ack" Asta exclaim as he watches the dark aura surrounding Yuno with his hair and robe floating in jealousy.

"Scary......" Those who stand behind all thought as they watch Yuno giving deadly glare over the youngest Vermillion.

Leopold shudders, feeling chills running through his spin. "What's up with that?"

"What's wrong?" Kana asks as she watches the older boy rubbing his arms to warm himself.

"I feel like someone about to kill me or something." He confesses, paling a bit.

'Ah, I forget about him.' Kana sweats knowingly. That boy needs to learn to calm down. She sweats, feeling eyes staring at the back of her head.

She glances back at where Yuno is and mouths, 'Stop it!' Feeling a bit embarrassed by his act, she blushed as her eyes meeting his.

Within seconds, Yuno calms down with a blush of his own.

'So it is her!' Klaus and Mimosa thought in awe as they can even see the twinkling surrounding the usually calm boy.
