"H-h-how dares a filthy rat like you—" Nebra screech, sneering at the red-haired girl. "How dare you speak to us like that?!"

Kana look over at her, then glance elsewhere.

The room turns silent, waiting for her next word.

They watch her took a deep breath—

"Oh, that felt good." She huff, feeling satisfied with herself.

. . . . . .

"HUH?!!!!"

"Feel like the weight on my shoulders just lift." She moves around her arm, feeling relieved. She then glances over her captain, and they have a stare over for few seconds before she states. "I'm sorry, I just can't hold on any longer."

"Hn." Fuegoleon nods in responds.

'That easy?!!!' They scream internally, watching their interactions.

Alecdora grits his teeth as he glares disgustfully at the girl who looks back at him but didn't say anything. He wants to give her a piece of her own words, but his eyes fell on the figure standing behind her. Fuegoleon keeps his expression stoic as if telling him, 'I dare you,' making him change his next target. "Huh! That's quite confident, crimson brats." He glances over Kana and Leopold. "It's not like we expect anything from that peasant. We are the ones who embody Lord Vangeance and the Golden Dawn's ideals."

"W-with all due respect...." Klaus stammer as he about to defend his junior but was cut off.

"That goes for you as well, Klaus." He directs his anger over the poor guy. "Aren't you ashamed, being here with your lack of skill?"

"I—"

"And Mimosa!"

The girl flinches at the sudden call of her name.

"I heard that you were wounded early on in the dungeon and left the front line. To think that you're royalty of the Vermillion line is laughable."

"What the hell is wrong with this guy?" Kana asks, displeased with his words.

Fuegoleon knocks her head, warning her to stay silent.

"Tch."

"Now, now. The most useless fool here......" Solid who been waiting to attack his prey from the moments he first saw her speak up. Decided that the lowly red-haired peasant is no longer necessary, he gives his youngest sister a sinister look and stops right behind her. "Is you. Wouldn't you agree, Noelle?" By the end of his word, he pours a glass of water on top of the girl's head.

"H-h-how could you?!" Klaus exclaims while Mimosa and Yuno watch in shock.

Asta and Kana watch in displease at the scene.

"What a douche." The red-haired girl mutter.

"You can't even control your magic. You're such an embarrassment." Solid mocks, bluntly embarrassing his little sister.

"You've basically been exiled from the Silva family," Nebra adds, also forgetting about the red-haired girl's earlier remarks about nobles. "I'm surprised you had the nerve to return to the Noble Realm."

"You got a big head from one achievement. Did you come here intending to bring shame upon the Silva name?" Nozel, who has been watching his siblings' interaction, finally voices himself. "You do not belong here. Begone, a failure that killed our mother."

Feeling embarrassed and hurt by those words, Noelle spun and ran off, but she was stopped by Asta, who grips her arm, preventing the girl in the place.

"There's no reason to run from these jerks." Asta spits in disgust as he glares at the Silvas.

"Asta?" Noelle mumbles in surprise at the expression he makes and jumps when a handkerchief suddenly comes into her sight.

"Here." Kana offer. "Running away from it won't end the pain. You're strong, and I know you are." She smiles at her. "I can feel it."

"Kana."

Asta stood on top of the table, facing the Silva siblings. Looking down at them, he states. "I thought you'd all be amazing since you were called here, but you're no different from the rest of them! Calling us peasants, rats, embarrassments, failures.... Who cares if you think we're worthy or not?! Just you watch! I'm going to—"

Suddenly a blast of sand swirls around Asta. It creates a dome that prisoned the ash-blonde haired boy. Kana cover her eyes, not wanting to have some of it flying into her eyes.

Yuno quickly stood in front of her protectively, covering the girl.

"That's enough, you scoundrel." Alecdora declares with his grimoire floating in front of him. "You shouldn't even be allowed to talk! Silence!"

"I won't shut up!" Asta declares as he summoned his sword and cut the spell away.

"He just—"

"Listen up, you bastards! I'm going to pile up merit, become the Wizard King, and shut you all up!"

SILENCE

Everyone goes speechless as they all stare at the boy, bewilderedly.

Klaus was gaping in shock at how fool he is, but he couldn't even spell them out.

"Huh, not a chance." Yuno smile proudly along with Kana grin widely.

"Become—" Alecdora blinks, a bit taken aback.

"The Magic King?" Nebra finishes then a laugh escape her mouth along with Solid.

"Don't make us laugh!" They shout with their grimoires floating brightly in front of them.

"Mizu Kōsoku Mahō: Kaija no Kanbaku! (Water Binding Magic: Sea Serpent's Coils!)" As Solid call out.

A huge water Serpent flies out and swirls in front of him before going directly toward Asta.

"Honō Sōsei Mahō: Yakedo Baria! (Fire Creation Magic: Scald Barrier!)"

A liquid-like flame shoots out from the ground and form a wall protectively in front of the ash-blonde haired boy.

Just as the serpent hit the wall, it burst into steams, causing a significant impact around the room, making everyone cover themselves from the hot air.

"What?" Solid gape in shock and search for the owner of the spell. His eyes fall on the red-haired girl with her grimoire flip open right in front of her. "You little—"

"Kiri Kōsoku Mahō: Kirikumo no Bakushi. (Mist Restraining Magic: Mist Spider Binding Thread)"

A burst of mist fly out of Nebra's grimoire, and it starts surrounding the Black Bull's boy.

Instead of helping him again, Kana close her grimoire and put it away. "Asta can take care of them." She confidently states and smiles over Noelle, who watches in worried. "Don't worry, and they aren't that strong."

Noelle gives a surprising look. 'No, it's not Solid-nii-sama, and Nebra-nee-sama was weak; it's her.' Her expression turns into admiration. 'She just too strong. Asta was right, and she isn't someone to play with.' She thought, remembering how Asta proudly tells her and the other Black Bull's members about a girl he grew up alongside.

She remembers how happy he was when he told her about Kana. It did cause her to get a bit jealous at how carefree he was and his smile when he was telling stories about their childhood moments.

But now she knows, it wasn't that the same kind of feeling that she has whenever she with the short boy but it was the fact that he looks at her as a family to him, a sister.

Asta quickly cut the mist, just like how he did with Alecdora's attack.

The man, not feeling pleased with the boy's ability, call out another spell. "Suna Sōsei Mahō: Sagai no Banpei! (Sand Creation Magic: Sand-Armored Guard!)"

A sentry-like golem made of sand appear out of the ground and restrain Asta as it draped his arms around the boy, not giving him any chances to move.

"A-Asta!" Mimosa exclaims in worry.

"I-I think that's enough." Klaus tries to calm his senior but to no avail.

"Keep your mouth shut."

"Y-yes, sir."

"To act in such a way at a festive occasion like the decoration ceremony— You will surely be punished."

"Come on, now—" Solid steps up. "Why so soft, Golden Dawn? Anyone that self-confident needs to be taught a lesson." Flipping his grimoire open, a swirl of water appear right on his side, creating a giant drill. "So that they can never talk back again."

"Solid-nii-sama, please!" Noelle plead.

Yuno's hand ready over his grimoire, but another hand is stopping him. He glances over Kana, who smiles at him.

Smiling back at her, he moves his hand away and looks back at the battle. "I guess he no longer needs us."

"Don't be silly." Kana chuckle. "We always need each other. This is just Asta showing how better he is than those jerks."

"Water Creation Magic: Holy Water Assassination Bullet (Mizu Sōsei Mahō: Seisui no Kyōdan)"

Just as the powerful spell about to reach him, Asta summons another sword and cuts the golem arms off him.

"Apologize—" He uses his larger sword to repel the water bullet and throw it back toward Solid. "to Noelle!"

Solid create a swirl of water as a barrier to block the attack, but it was more substantial, and it catches him off guard, making him fall on his knee.

"You lowly peasant!" Shouting in anger, he stood up and readying himself.

Asta sweat, preparing himself for whatever attack he has.

"I'm not holding back anymore!"

"Solid-nii-sama, p-please, no more—" Noelle begs once again, but she was cut off by the chilling yet heavy sensation filling the whole room.

Kana sweats in worry. 'He's different. This guy is almost as strong as Captain.' She can feel her legs weakening by the pressure of his mana, but she keeps herself strong and ready herself but holding her grimoire if the situations get any worse.

"That's enough." Fuegoleon, who had enough, finally speaks up.

"Fuegoleon-san," Kana mutters, feeling the air in the room shifts. The heavy presence no longer suffocating them.

"You're getting so worked up over a little boy. You should be ashamed of yourself, Silvas."

Her jaw visibly drops at her captain's blunts choice of words.

"Tha ha ha ha ha!" Leopold laughs loudly after watching Asta for a while. "It's just as Mimosa and Kana-chan said. You're quite amusing!"

"Huh?" Asta was dumbfound by his sudden declaration pull a face.

"All right, rejoice! I, Leopold Vermillion, declare you my rival! Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

Irk marks appear on Kana's head.

"What was your name? Casta?"

"Leopold-san, it's Asta. He's Asta." Mimosa corrects him.

Not noticing the danger lurking at him, Leopold approaches the shorter boy.

"Asta, eh? That's a great name, my rival!" He keeps on laughing and patting the younger boy's shoulder.

"R-Rival?!"

"Come, now! Rej—"

"You little snob!!"

Kana appears doing a flying kick and sends Leopold to fly over the other side of the room.

He lands with his face first on the ground with smoke sizzle out of him.

"You think I already forget what you called Yuno earlier?!" With her fist clenching hard with irk mark around it, she walks over the faint Vermillion and shakes him. "Like hell, I will let that go!"

"Aren't you gonna save him?" Nozel calmly asks over the oldest son of Vermillion's family.

"He will live." Said the man nonchalantly and continue watching his little brother being shaken out of his life.

A smile creeps over his lip. An image of two crimson-haired children flashes over his eyes. "How nostalgic."
