"Noelle! Kana!" Mimosa approaches the two of them in worry as she can see the state of her older cousin.

"Mimosa, please take care of Fuegoleon-san." Noelle requests, knowing that the plant magic user's healing ability is far more vital than anyone she has ever known.

"No— How could something like this happen to someone like Fuegoleon-san?"

"Can you help him?" Kana frowns, motioning for Muku to take a rest which the beast willingly mount his head and fall onto her lap.

"You can rest now. I will take from here." The vermillion haired girl flashes a warm smile and brings out her grimoire. A pair of wings made of plants and flowers appear on her back, and a green aura starts to engulf her.

"You can trust Mimosa." Noelle softly addresses as she discerns the worried look on Kana. "She's a great healer."

The red hair glimpses over the water user and nods before remembering the boys. She quickly surrounds Leopold as Claude already shaking Asta awake. "Leo! Oi Leo!" She watches as he groans. She's glad that he is still alive and peep over Claude, who gives her a nod, telling her that the ash-blonde haired boy still breathing.

"Gel Magic: Sticky Salamander! (Geru Mahō: Betobeto Saramandā!)"

Upon hearing those voices, she glimpses over the gathered enemies, only for her eyes to befall on the enormous purplish creature.

"My magic will just pierce through magic like that." Nozel smugly declares with his grimoire flipping in front of him.

"And then—Ura Madōgu: Tokusei Purasu Arufa (Dark Magic Tool: Special Properties Plus Alpha) ....... Absorbed!"

They all watch as the salamander absorbs Nozel's attack catching the mercury magic-user off guard.

The gel magic-user motion her hand and salamander's hand slam towards Kana making her jump away with Leopold on her grasp but her eyes widen when she sees Asta being taken away as he stuck into the gel creature.

"No—"

"Mine~"

"Give Asta back!" Kana roars, gently put Leopold on the ground and readying her grimoire.

"Remember this, Magic Knights." One of the cloaked men speak up, the gel creature slowly melts, and a colossal portal arises under their feet. "We are the Eye of the Midnight Sun—"

"Asta!" Kana took off. "Honō Sōsei Mahō— (Fire creation magic—)"

"The ones who will destroy the Clover Kingdom."

"Kurimuzon bakuhatsu-en! (Crimson Exploding Flame!)"

Before the strike can hit them, the Eye of the Midnight Sun escapes through the portal.

Kana pants, eyes widen in disbelief. Her hands shaking, but her eyes were glued to where the enemies used to stand. "Asta!!"

"They took—Asta." Noelle appears by Kana's side, making sure the red-haired wasn't harmed. "We have to save him!" The youngest Silva worriedly seek as she looks over the senior members.

"Noelle, we can't." Klaus is also troubled about Asta's well-being, but they can do nothing given current situations.

"But—"

"It's unfortunate, but we have no way of tracking them."

"I understand that, but—" Noelle try to argue, but Nozel cut her pleads coldly.

"No. Right now, strengthening the royal capital's defences takes priority. But, unfortunately, there's no guarantee that those were the only enemies. We don't have any time or magic to spare on someone like him."

Kana narrow her eyes, teeth-gritting in rage, but she doesn't have the strength to argue with the captain of Silver Eagle. But, with the absence of her captain, she might not live another day if she pissed the oldest Silva without him by her side.

Limping to her captain and plop down by his side, she quietly observes the soft green light created by Mimosa help to heals her cousins.

"How are Fuegoleon and Leopold doing?" Nozel asks, standing directly behind the youngest flame user, but she doesn't even bother to look at him.

"The best I can do with my magic is first aid!" Mimosa promptly answers, her tone growing louder out of worry. "He needs to be taken to the medical ward for more advanced healing magic, or he will—"

"Don't say that," Kana warn her, eyebrows furrowing in ache causing Mimosa to soften her expression.

"I'm sorry."

"Heh—Some captain he is. How pathetic."

In a blink, Kana rising on her feet with Muku by her side. "The fuck you just said?"

Nebra and Solid chuckle, feeling content at the reactions they get from the younger girl. "The Vermillions sure aren't what they used to be. Makes me embarrassed to be royal."

"Maybe you should be embarrassed." Kana spat, hand nearing her grimoire if things get ugly. Muku baring his sharps teeth and claws, digging the concrete menacingly. "To have trash like you as a royal was much worse than a gum stuck on my shoes. A fucking annoying piece of crap. You weren't even here when this happens—" She motions over her captain paralysed state. "You don't get to talk craps about them. You sick bastards."

Both Silvas glares at her for calling them names, and the fact that she's right adding fuel to the flames, making them grew angrier, but before another fight break out, Nozel speak up.

"We are Magic Knights. Our existence is pointless unless we win."

Solid smirks, feeling pleased that his brother sided with him, adds. "That's right! This is going to ruin the reputation of the Crimson Lion Kings—"

"You piece of—"

"But Solid—"

Kana froze with the oldest Silva sudden intrusion.

"As the peasant said, we were not present at the fight," His eyes shadowed in anger, eyes coldly glare at his younger brother. "We are even less than he is. Strengthen the defences so that there won't be further damages."

"R-right."

"Serve you right!" Kana poke her tongue out at Solid, irking the man, but after being scolded by Nozel, he doesn't dare to utter a word.

"Don't get too cocky." Nozel cold tone directed to Kana, but she didn't flinch.

Her eyes just calmly watch his expression that never breaks.

"Say another word about a royal-born like that—"

"You what?" Kana fold her arms over her chest, challenging the man to continue his threat.

Irk marks appears on Nozel's head, his eyebrow twitch. "I will destroy you."

"I'm not shitting myself. Fucking noble snob." The red hair spat and walk past the man, ignoring the increasing irks on his head.

When the sun almost settled down, they were finally able to raise back the magic barriers and with more members patrolling around the city to make sure no other intruders sneaking inside the border.

They all assemble in front of the tower, where Fuegoleon and Leopold are being aided by more experienced healers with more potent healing magic.

Mimosa and Noelle urged kana to go inside the tower, but she insists that her injuries were nothing compared to those two. Muku have returned to the bracelet to get some rest after the long battle, they all earn one.

"I hope they wake up soon," Sol vocalise, wanting the unanswered questions can finally be answered.

"Indeed." Captain Charlotte voice out in the agreement.

"We've strengthened the magic barrier and repaired the communication spells," Alecdora declares spontaneously after his arrival with Hamon by his side. "We have gathered more Magic Knights and are having them, scout, every inch of the town to ensure no enemies remain."

"I'm sure the royal capital is fine now." Hamon gleefully adds. "We're also looking for the awfully loud—" He noticed the deadly glare Kana was giving him and quickly correct himself. "Er, lively Black Bulls' boy."

At those words, Mimosa and Noelle's heads lower in disappointment that both Klaus and Kana go unnoticed.

"He wouldn't die so easily!" The four eyes state, trying to ease their thought. "Curse you, Asta. I'm going to punch you when you get back."

"And I will punch you if you do that." Then, with a blank expression, Kana bluntly states that she knew his words merely out of worry, but she finds it funny that a noble like them cares for another low-born like her.

Klaus sweats, stuttering to correct himself while rambling that she misunderstood his intentions, but Kana puffs a chuckle and smile at him. "I know you are just worried about— Eh?"

"This magic—"

The red-haired wasn't the only one who recognizes this mana.

As if knowing they can feel him, the Magic King appears in front of all of them with Asta in his arm and a member of Midnight Sun in a magic sphere.

"Hey, everyone. Great work." The time user cheerfully greets them.

"Th-the Wizard King?!" Mimosa stutters, but Noelle's eyes befall on the person he carrying and cry out. "Asta!"

"H-hey, guys. Looks like you're all here." The ash-blonde haired boy raises his hand, greeting them too.

"Asta!" Kana let out a relieved sigh and run over the boy.

Julius gently put the boy down, letting him reunite with his childhood friend.

"Man, I thought I was done for." Asta sigh bashfully.

Kana chuckles and pull him into her embrace.

Asta was taken back at first, but he gently melts into her arms.

"I was so worried about you." Kana wipe a stray tear off her eyes after pulling away.

"Sorry for making you worry." Asta scratches the back of his neck.

After seeing those bright smiles, she can finally breathe more easily, seeing that he has no more injuries except the previous battle.

A/N: Hey dear readers!!! I know it has been another long week since I last updated, and like usual, I'm so sorry about this.

I don't know about you guys but have you ever had some days where you were full of ideas and can do so many things in short times, suddenly it all disappear, and you just lost.

It always happens to me whenever I'm writing some chapters. I hate myself for this. I wish I can write every day, whenever and wherever I want.

This chapter finished a few days ago, but I don't like it, so I keep rethinking some words and plots.

I still don't like it, but this version was better than the previous one.

Anyhow, I hope you guys like it! Please leave some of your opinions and vote for them.

Thank you!
