Narrator: Threatened by a ruthless demon, humanity was on the brink of destruction. All seemed lost until a lone mage stepped forward and took up the fight. After his triumph, he was hailed as the Wizard King, and his story became legend.

The Royal Knights Entrance Exams continued to blaze through as mages looked to qualify to get their hands on the Eye of the Midnight Sun. Asta's Team B.... Magna's Team C, Finral's Team E, Langris's Team G, and Aqua Deer Captain Rill Boismortier's Team I have all thus far been successful in qualifying for the second round.

Langris: It's too bad you'll be nothing more than a means of transport for the Black Bulls. But you see MY magic is useful, dear brother. So do us all a favor and stay out of the way of my portals. Forget what it would do to mother and father, I figure a certain someone would be just as devastated.

Finral: Yeah good point, so.... I'll just have to beat you in the next round!

Langris: That's my dear brother. Still as insolent as ever.

As one Black Bull dealt with familial turmoil, another was also subjected to it.

Nebra: You'll never amount to anything Noelle.

Solid: Give up this little thinking you can impress us.

But before Noelle could give up, someone was able pull her down from the depths of depressions.

Tyrus: All you two have been has yakking and honestly, it's making me sick. Why don't we settle this on the battlefield when Noelle and I clown the both of you. I just know her bully siblings have been eager in wanting to do away with me.

The first round of the Royal Knights Selection Exam charges on..... NOW!

The match between Klaus, Luck and the Blue Rose Knights Puli Angel and their opponents Rob Vitesse of the Silver Eagles, Francis of the Aqua Deer and Winston of the Purple Orcas was knee deep in action.

Tyrus: KNOCK 'EM DEAD, LUCK! I KNOW YOU'RE FIENDING TO FACE ME, SO DON'T LET ME DOWN YA DAMN BATTLE FREAK!

BOOOM! BOOM! CRASH!

Vanessa: The competition sure is heating up!

Finral: Yeah, you just know wherever Luck is at, hellfire is going to ensue. Most of these teams have been cautious pursuing one another but not these two. They're all gas and no brakes!

Klaus: RAHHHHHH! STEEL CREATION MAGIC, FULL METAL FORTRESS!

Noelle: At least the battle maniac is getting a chance to blow off some steam.

Francis does his best to ambush Klaus but is immediately intercepted by Lightning Magic.

SHOOOOOCCCK!

Francis: BLLLLLLRRBBEBEBEBEBEBEBBEBB!

Luck: Let's play keep away!

Asta: WHOOOOOA, DID YOU NOTICE THE CRAZY SHAPE OF THAT SPELL?! AWESOME!

Magna: Looks like that runt's added some pages to his grimoire. Nice work, Luck.

Luck: Lightning Magic, Thunderbolt Destruction!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! CRACK!

Mage: That squad has some serious offensive firepower on them!

Mage: No kidding they're good... and most of the Black Bulls are at Junior level too. Only two if I'm not mistaken were promoted to Intermediate Level.

Magna: HA! Luck and I have been cranking out the missions like crazy in preparation for the Royal Knights Exam and every single one of them has made us that much more powerful! In conclusion, bein' a Junior rank don't mean jackshit!

Klaus: The Black Bulls always did have intermediate level mage talent, it's a surprise only Lady Silva and Tyrus were the only ones promoted to Intermediate Fifth Class. And now I've seen with my very own eyes, that the rest of the Black Bulls are continuing to improve. But I've grown as well!

He thinks back to his training in a secluded forest in Clover Kingdom.

Klaus: Inspired by Asta, Tyrus and Yuno, I have trained my magic, my muscles and my mind! To become the ultimate weapon!

Winston: HAHAHAHAHA!

Klaus: And my hard work may betray me..... but I WON'T betray my hard work! STEEL MAGIC, FIERCE SPIRAL LANCE!

Winston: AHHHHHH!

Asta: THAT A WAY SPECS, THAT'S THE KIND OF HARDCORE EPIC BEATDOWN I'M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT THERE!

Mimosa: Wow, Klaus, I'm so proud to call you my superior! I guess you are more than just a bespectacled worrywart after all!

Luck: HA, That was pretty cool! After this tournament's over we should definitely fight sometime!

Klaus: Ugh, don't be such an incorrigible child and focus on the task at hand, their crystal is still very much intact!

WHHHHHHOOOOOOOSHHHHHH!

Klaus: That's not good!

The wind begins to immensely pick up as Rob Vitesse of the Silver Eagles stands on guard of the crystal as Klaus begins to pale.

Klaus: That's him! Rob Vitesse of the Silver Eagles. He's turned his back on their crystal! We should attack all three of them head-on and attempt to destroy their crystal!

Luck: OH MAN, NOW YOU'RE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE!

Puli: Well look at that, turns out you silly boys aren't as hesitant. GOTCHA!

She plucks her team's crystal while her grimoire begins to glow!

Puli: NOW WING MAGIC-

Asta: WOAHHHH, THAT LADY CAN FLY?!

Tyrus: Not bad, they'd definitely have a hard time reaching her from that distance.

Puli: Angel Flapping should do the trick, now go teammates!

Winston: GRR! An offensive strike!

Klaus: GO FOR IT, LUCK VOLTIA!

Luck: I'm on it! OH BOY THIS IS A LOT OF FUN!

Puli: And a tailwind for my teammates!

He develops a creepy smile as his senses begin to overload on the adreanline.

Klaus: NOW LUCK, DESTROY IT!

Luck's lightning begins to crackle intensely as his Holy Lightning Boots spark up, all the while he's making the beeline for Rob and the opposing crystal.

Rob: Come at me, Black Bull! The difference in our strengths will determine who will win and who will lose!

Puli: We threw all our magic at that man and he hasn't even moved an inch?! ALRIGHT, YA CRAZY KID, YOU BETTER NOT MISS YOUR SHOT!

Luck: MORE.

Rob: Goodness, he's fast!

Luck: HOLY LIGHTNING BOOTS! COME ON, FIGHT ME SOME MORE, SILVER EAGLE!

Rob: GAHHHHHHHHH!

TCH. TCH. CRACK!

WHAT THE?!

Noelle: Did-Did Luck just-

Tyrus: Use that poor fool as a battering ram to destroy their crystal? Yes, yes he did Noelle. That's our Cheery Berserker for ya!

Announcer: Crystal destroyed! TEAM K IS YOUR WINNER!

Vanessa: HA-HA! WAY TO GO, LUCK!

Finral: Yeah, they really showed him, huh!

Gordon attempts to celebrate with Gauche but the latter is too busy in gushing over his sister Marie.

Luck: WOOHOO! That was a blast, thanks for trusting in me, guys!

Klaus: OH, LUCK I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY UNDERESTIMATED YOU!

Puli: DING-DING WE HAVE OURSELVES A WINNER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

GO TEAM K!

Asta: You did it, Luck! Now it's your guys turn. Show 'em what you're made of Ty, Yuno and Noelle!

Magna: That sneaky little bastard's been holding out.... Sometimes, I think he's getting too strong!

Luck and Rill share a knowing laugh as they now realize they'll be facing each other in the next round!

Luck and Rill: I'LL BE FIGHTING HIM NEXT!

Luck: That's going to be interesting no doubt about that!

Rill: Oh, I'll paint an even prettier picture, just you watch me!

Announcer: NOW IT IS TIME FOR THE EIGHTH AND FINAL AND FOR THE FIRST TIME HERE TODAY OUR FIRST EIGHT PERSON MATCHUP! Teams O and P, approach!

Asta: The last one! AND IT'S A DOOZY TOO!

Charmy: I can't wait!

Vanessa: NOELLE, TYRUS!

Finral: Good luck, you guys!

Tyrus bumps every single one of his teammates fists, egging Noelle on to join him.

Tyrus: We won't let you guys down. I've been itching to fight Noelle's siblings after what they pulled.... and the stakes couldn't be higher. We'll bring it full circle-

Noelle: And make sure all the Black Bulls advance into the second round!

Tyrus: Let's rock Noelle!

Noelle: Right.

Asta: Seriously I'm so hyped. Noelle, Tyrus and Yuno on the same squad together!

Bell: SHEESH, THAT TOOK LONG ENOUGH! When this is all over, you owe me five dates Yuno!

Kuraokami: And you owe all of your dinners for the next weeks, all this sitting around, I was made for fighting Young Master!

Tyrus: Oh don't worry you'll get your fill. Don't worry big guy.

Yuno: And that's going to be a no, Bell.

Bell: OH YOU BIG MEANIE!

Asta: Who's their fourth teammate?

En: Hey gang, are you ready? If we all do our best, we're sure to win.

Tyrus nods and shakes his hand.

Tyrus: You must be En, pleasure's all ours. Let's go kick some major ass out there, and you're right. Give it our all and we win the day!

Asta: CAN YOU MAKE IT THROUGH THIS DAY?!

En: I just know we're gonna succeed...

Tyrus: Right.... so anyway, Yuno, Noelle. Last chance to get any nerves out, ya ready.

Noelle: Um.... you think this guy's good enough to participate?

Yuno: I can't.... honestly answer that.

Noelle: Actually now that I think about it, didn't you, Asta and Ty grow up together? You'd better act like half the idiot they are.

Tyrus: HEY, I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT! YOU'VE SEEN ME IN ACTION!

Yuno: Ha. Same goes for you, I mean every time I see you, you're always hanging out with one of, if not both of them! I know magic control isn't your best quality. You had your hands quite full dealing with Mana Skin and had to depend on Tyrus to carry you up Yultim Volcano, isn't that right?

Noelle: It's not like I asked him to do that!

Yuno: My point are you sure you're even up for this?

Noelle took offense to this, and Tyrus knew better to interfere when Noelle Silva was offended and angered.

Tyrus: Yeah... you just dug yourself a grave, Yuno.

Noelle: I beg your pardon?! YOU DO REALIZE YOU'RE QUITE LITERALLY STANDING IN THE PRESENCE OF ROYALTY, COMMONER?! I mean let's be honest, you were raised to be a barbarian just like Asta and Ty were. Maybe you're just too stupid to take this test!

Tyrus: Ouch, standing right here Noelle.

Bell: Keep it down, Princess.

Yuno: Not only was that a weak argument but the way you also phrased it was so childish. Makes me kinda wonder if the two of them are rubbing off on you.

Tyrus: It's just fuck my feelings, huh Yuno?

Noelle: HOW DARE YOU?! IF YOU THINK FOR ONE SECOND I'D LET EITHER ONE OF THOSE MORONS INFLUENCE ME, THEN YOU'RE JUST AS DENSE AS THEY ARE AND AS MUCH AS AN IGNORANT JERK LIKE THEY ARE!

Yuno: You're super wound up, I'll stop here.

Tyrus: Asta... Mimosa, help me out here before I strangle them both.

Noelle: AND I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S ALLOWED TO DO THAT PEOPLE, STUPID YUNO!

Asta: Now, now. You two aren't being very good sports here!

Tyrus: Why don't we all just take a deep breath, inhale and exhale.

Mimosa: I think she's acting like that and arguing with Yuno because of you, Tyrus.

CRACK!

Noelle: YEAH RIGHT, WHO WOULD BOTHER GETTING ANGRY OVER YOU, BAKARUS?!

Tyrus: WHAT DID I DO?! I AM YOUR TEAMMATE, YOU PARANOID ROYAL!

Mimosa heals Tyrus long enough for him to be back at one hundred percent as Noelle devolves into a full blown child.

En: I think that's enough you two, let's try to come up with a plan!

He softly puts a hand Noelle's shoulder.

Noelle: I'M SORRY DID I SAY YOU WERE PERMITTED TO TOUCH ME?!

Solid: You must be eager and supremely confident if you're this combative with your own teammates, Noelle.

Nebra: I mean seriously, if you can't get along with them what chance do you have here today? You might as well be setting them up for failure, but then again, that's all you know how to do is fail.

Solid: We're shocked to see that the shame of House Silva is competing in this tournament. Noelle, you don't have what it takes to be a Royal Knight. The Black Bulls may have ascended to second place and you might have achieved the rank of Intermediate Magic Knight, but you will forever be the Ugly Little Duckling of our family.

Nebra: You can't honestly believe you had something to do with the ascension, do you? You're just as egotistical as much as you are a failure.

Noelle: Can we please not do this, you two? I'll let my actions speak for themselves on the battlefield.

Solid: I'm surprised you have yet to control your magic power. After all you couldn't join us in the Silver Eagles, despite the fact you're quite literally a Silva. It was right there for the taking and you stumbled on your feet. Pathetic.

A flashback plays in her head, she's no more than five or six... and she's much like her teenaged counterpart is having difficulty controlling her magic.

Solid: What a waste of space! If you're royalty, then you should be capable of doing all the things the rest of our family can and yet.... you keep failing!

She was attempting to eat but before she could put the food that was on her fork in her mouth.

SMACK!

Noelle: AH!

Solid: WHERE DO YOU GET OFF, EATING BEFORE ME?! I THOUGHT I TRAINED YOU BETTER THAN THAT, NOELLE!

Another instance shows Solid and Nebra teasing Noelle out of her favorite toy as they dangle oh so dangerously in front of her.

Noelle: Nebra, Solid. Please give me my toy back! I don't like this game, you guys!

Nebra: You're a royal, Noelle. We don't beg, we take by force. Do it, little brother.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!

Solid: HAHA! If you weren't such a damn weakling, you'd have no trouble saving your stuffed animal. Pitiful, at least we have seamestresses on standby clown.

Nebra: If that makes you angry, then do something about it Noelle.

Noelle's on the verge of tears as Asta critcizes Solid and Nebra.

Asta: The jerk with that goofy haircut again- Tyrus?

Noelle: What're you doing-

Tyrus: Can it, Noelle. I'm tired of this idle trash talk and you just backing down. I'm going to serve them a dose of reality.

Tyrus stares down both of Noelle's siblings as he eyes up Solid like a man before alternating and locking eyes with Nebra.

Tyrus: You two fuckers haven't changed a bit since that damn banquet when Asta and I clowned you both. All you've been doing is.... flapping your damn gums and frankly I'm sick of it. You talk about Noelle not being able to control her magic well, no shit that's what happens when you're overflowing with vast amounts of mana.

Solid: Who do you think you're talking to-

Tyrus: Shut the fuck up, I wasn't finished Liquid. What you deem a failure on Noelle's part, the Black Bulls think of as a work in progress. I do know what's going to happen here, Noelle. She's going to clown ya'll asses and when she does, I'm going to laugh in your faces when she finally beats some respect into you. Isn't that right.... Silva?

Noelle, the Silva in question begins to bite down on her lip, fear coursing through her veins but then again her heart was fluttering like crazy. Damn Tyrus she kept thinking as her cheeks flooded red while she nods.

Bell: OH NO YOU DON'T, THAT THIEVING LITTLE GLUTTON IS AFTER YUNO AGAIN!

Charmy: SO SPARKLY IT HURTS!

En looks at the devolving argument between one of his teammates and Noelle's siblings.

Gordon: It's alright Noelle, you've come a long way since joining the Black Bulls. Your journey is just beginning with us, it's just like Tyrus said you're going to be one of the most powerful Magic Knights for the next generation.

Vanessa: So those are Noelle's siblings? Why are they exactly as I imagined them to be, better yet does anyone know what Gordon is saying right now.

Finral: Probably putting some hellacious curse on her brother and sister as we speak.

Alecdora: You two have wasted enough time trying to bring down your sister, Nebra and Solid. Come we have a match to win.

Nebra: Heaven's me. I forgot the part where I'm supposed to care what you think.

Solid: I hope you and your Knight in Shining Armor are ready, Noelle. We'll prove once and for all, that you're always going to be the stain of House Silva! Don't die!

Tyrus consoles Noelle while also cracking her upside the head for punching him as Alecdora takes a look at Yuno. He stares for about five seconds before scowling and leaving with his other teammate, Coral Peacock, Dmitri.

Announcer: AND NOW THE EIGHTH AND FINAL MATCH OF ROUND ONE.... TEAM O. Alecdora, Nebra, Solid and Dmitri. Versus TEAM P. En, Noelle, Tyrus and Yuno! LET'S BEGIN!

Asta: With Noelle, Ty and Yuno on the same squad, I know who's going to win this!

Vanessa: We're rooting for you two! Show these boys the Beautiful Babes of the Black Bulls aren't to be trifled with!

Finral: Tyrus, bring it home, man! AND NOELLE, DON'T YOU DARE GO EASY ON THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE YOUR SIBLINGS! ALL THE MORE REASON TO EMBARRASS THEM!

Yuno: Tyrus and I can do the attacking. You two, just back us up.

Noelle: No that should be my job.

Yuno: It's fine.

Noelle: Let me do it!

Yuno: Nope.

Noelle: Listen here!

En: I'll be happily on the defensive end.

Tyrus: Yuno.... I think she's right.

Noelle: Thank you.

Tyrus: Mhm. Yuno, you may be powerful and no one's doubting that but think of this from a strategical standpoint. Her brother and sister are making a clear point that they're gunning for Noelle and I. Solid is definitely going to be coming for our heads and her sister has been eyeing me to the point where I'm like a plaything for her. Let Noelle and I take the reigns on this.

Yuno: Huh-

Tyrus: Shit that didn't take them long at all. They're already on their way!

Noelle: What's happening?

Yuno: Look over there.

Soon enough they witness in the distance as Solid, Dmitri and Alecdora are on their way.

Solid: Vexing as it is... this parody version of that compound magic is a nifty little shortcut. ONE SINGLE SWIFT ATTACK AND IT'S OVER!

Yuno: Their crystal is still in the starting position!

Tyrus: And I highly doubt they're just dropping by for a visit!

Yuno: Fuck, they're about to shatter ours in one fell swoop! Wind Magic, CRESCENT MOON SICKLE!

BOOM!

Dmitri: Flame Magic, Combo Eruption!

Tyrus: TRY AGAIN! Ice Magic, STARFIRE BREAKER!

Flame and Ice projectiles collide in a glorious display, sending explosions everywhere!

Noelle: Water Magic, Sea Dragon's LAIIIIIIRRRRRR!

Solid: So the little neophyte thinks she can learn one spell and call it a day? WRONG!

Alecdora: Sand Magic, SUPPRESSING SAND MASS!

Sand rushes onto Sea Dragon's Lair, effectively making useless as the clods mix with water.

Noelle: It's absorbing all of the water!

Yuno: HANG ON YOU TWO!

He grabs his brother and Noelle, rushing out with their crystal just as her spell becomes undone.

Yuno: If this keep we'll be stuck on the defensive all match long.

Tyrus: I agree Yuno. SO LET'S TAKE THE FIGHT TO THEM!

Bell begins to annoy Noelle about how not to crowd Yuno.

Yuno: Here's the plan. I hold a slight edge in speed over you Tyrus, so I'll try to catch them off guard and destroy their crystal. If you can keep the brother sister tandem off of me, I would highly appreciate it. You two and the other guy can protect ours.

Tyrus: Say less.

Noelle: Wait! You should let Tyrus and I destroy the crystal. Please!

Tyrus: Your call Yuno, what're we doing here?

He begins to talk only for a Sand Mass to appear out of nowhere!

Alecdora: I'll stop and CRUSH you where you stand right here!

BOOOOM!

Just as Noelle and Tyrus emerge from the trap, unscathed.

Noelle: HERE WE GO, TYRUS!

Tyrus: ROCK ON, NOELLE! LET'S FREEZE YOUR SIBLINGS, I'VE BEEN ITCHING FOR AN ACTUAL FIGHT! ICE CREATION MAGIC, ICE STALKER BLADES!

Asta: That's the stuff, Noelle and Ty! LET THEM HAVE IT!

His twin swords erupt from his grimoire as Yuno watches them disappear over the horizon, with the crystal in his possession.

Yuno: She's fought alongside Asta and Tyrus, she'll be fine. Now then. Besides the crystal's safer with me guarding it and them kicking and her giving those damn siblings a severe humbling.

Noelle: If it's Tyrus and I who go, no doubt Nebra and Solid will give chase.

Nebra: Mist Magic, Solid Mist Clones!

Clones of Nebra appear all over the sky as they begin firing off attacks.

Tyrus: INCOMING, NOELLE! LET ME HANDLE THIS ONE, HAHA!

He begins to hellaciously deflect all of the Nebra clones's attacks while Noelle focuses on Solid.

Solid: I've got you now, Noelle. Useless, useless, useless, useless!

Alecdora: DAMN IT, I thought I told you two to act like you were apart of this team, not to go after your sister and the commoner!

Yuno fires a wind blast which Alecdora evades easily as the senior Golden Dawn member snarls.

Yuno: Deal with them later. Fight me, if you dare.

Hey did you hear about that Four-Leaf Rookie?

Yeah apparently all the Magic Knight Captains rose their hands for him, but he chose the Golden Dawn!

Not to mention he just took down one of the Diamond Kingdom's Eight Shining Generals! Ragus I believe his name was.

In his first year? Talk about phenomenal!

Not just that but it gets better, he was already promoted to Intermediate Magic Knight, and took a shot at Vice Captain Vaude.. said he would be the next captain in line of the Golden Dawn!

Just goes to show all of us, being chose by the Wind Spirit really sets you apart, huh?

I'll say!

Alecdora: So... you think can eliminate me and protect your crystal long enough for your teammates to destroy ours? THERE'S THAT GODDAMN UNEARNED ARROGANCE YOU'RE SO FAMOUS FOR! AND IT'S REALLY STARTING TO PISS ME OFF!

His Giant Sand Armored Guard appears behind him.

Yuno: Just... fight me like you mean it. No flashy light shows.

Alecdora: Why did it have to be you?

He flashes back to a time where he was still apart of the Golden Dawn, an Intermediate Knight at that time, beaten, bloody and near death as he hobbled into a cave. He had survived an ambush.

Alecdora: I-I should've been ready for that damn ambush. I managed to escape but to this desolate cave of all places. I just hope the others are okay... NO I SHOULD HAVE MORE FAITH IN THEM, FOCUS ON YOU ALECDORA! So this is the end of me, what would mother and father think of my pitiful efforts here today?

William: There's no need to fear, I'll help you out.

Alecdora: In that moment... the captain, reminded me of a painting from my childhood. It was of a kind and gentle god. Bathed in a soft light.

William: I sensed that you were in here. Your worries are over now..... Alecdora Sandler.

Alecdora: Besides his immense magic, Captain Vangeance had a strange power added on to it. It was some sort of warmth that connects to him and all of us squad members! After that, I swore I would dedicate myself to earning his trust and my grimoire to him. I strove to assist the Golden Dawn to be the mightiest faction in all the Clover Kingdom. BECAUSE WE.... ARE THE NOBLE ELITE, HAND SELECTED BY CAPTAIN VANGEANCE HIMSELF! SO WHY WAS HE MADE ONE OF US?! IT PISSES ME OFF! BACKWOODS COMMONER SCUM! AND EVEN MORE..... While he bonded with each of us, impartially. It's plain to see as day that the Captain favors this peasant over all of us!

Yuno.

Alecdora: WHY HAS HE SAID THAT COMMONER'S NAME MORE THAN US, LET ALONE FIVE TIMES TODAY!? AND HE HASN'T SPOKEN THE FIRST WORD TO ME TODAY?! WHAT MAKES HIM SO SPECIAL, THE FOUR-LEAF CLOVER?! IS IT THE WIND SPIRIT?! IT'S BAD ENOUGH HE'S REGARDED SO HIGHLY BUT THE FACT THIS URCHIN THINKS HE CAN BE THE NEXT CAPTAIN OF THE GOLDEN DAWN?! I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT! DON'T GO GETTING A BIG HEAD BECAUSE YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO END UP WITH THE WIND SPIRIT MAGIC!

Bell: It's because of that amazing power that he was hand selected by me! Thank you very much!

Yuno: That's enough Bell.

Bell: WHAT?! Don't tell me you're going to fight him without my help!

Solid: HAHAHAHAHA! HOW MUCH LONGER CAN YOU KEEP THIS UP NOELLE?! YOUR LITTLE KNIGHT IS GONE, STRUGGLING WITH NEBRA AND YOU'RE ALL ALONE!

True to the bane of Noelle's existence, Nebra and Tyrus were locked into their battle as one of her Solid Mist Clones had knocked him off Noelle's transport. He waved Noelle off, encouraging her to race after the crystal while he made things somewhat easier for her.

Tyrus: Come on, make this actually challenging for me. You and your brother were talking all of that shit and you have yet to show me the wide margin gap in power between royals and commoners? AND WHY DO YOU AND LIQUID HATE NOELLE SO MUCH?!

He slashes down more of the cloned Nebra's attacks but for every five he sliced down and destroyed, some broke through and pierced him.

Nebra: As if a commoner like you could ever understand the plights of us royalty! Mist Magic, Transient Illusion!

His vision almost immediately becomes clouded as more attacks rain in and draw small amounts of blood but otherwise scratch him.

Vanessa: Not good, Tyrus isn't weak to Mist Magic but he's a sitting duck if he can't figure where all those attacks are coming from!

Tyrus: Shit! Fine, you're right I may understand what your royals go through but I am an older brother so we can at least relate on that plain. So why all this bullying towards your baby sister?! Any older sibling couldn't pass the opportunity to dote on them. Hell I'm teammates with a guy who's obssessed with his sister. HAAAA! RAHHH! POLAR CYCLONE, CLEAR ME A PATH TOWARDS VICTORY!

He clears the cloud rather easily as he stares Nebra and her clones as he spits out some blood that had been clodding his mouth.

Tyrus: I stand by what I said at the banquet. You and that other bastard are the worst cases of siblings I have ever seen, Noelle nearly died on our last mission before that event and instead of welcoming her home, you casually insulted, berated and demeaned her. However I get the sense, it bothers you.

Nebra: Shut up!

Tyrus: Gotcha, so it does pain her to say the shit she does about Noelle. You and I are going to have a long talk while we fight.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Noelle: NGH!

Solid: Leave it to useless Noelle to try and win for her pitiful team. And without her little lapdog to save her hide, she'll just fall flat on her face! HAHAHAHAHA!

Dmitri: What is wrong with you! We were supposed to hit their crystal at the same time but you're making this about your stupid little obssession with abusing your sister?! YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND!

Solid: Ah, be quiet! What makes you think you have any gumption to order me around?!

Dmitri: Damn it all.... I guess my only thing to do is to back him up and- what the?

Hey!

Dmitri: EW, WHAT IS THIS THING?! AHHHHH!

A giant mushroom had formed on Dmitri's robe and the sheer weight of it causes the Coral Peacock to fall with a heavy thud.

En: Fungus Magic, Running Mister Mushroom. Hope you didn't mind but I sprinkled a few mushrooms on you, while you were distracted. I'm not letting you get in Noelle's way!

The Silva siblings race over to the crystal, Solid just being able to beat out Noelle. Soon following an awry slash from Tyrus, he and Nebra return to their teammates, Noelle relieved to find Tyrus unharmed.

Noelle: You're alright!

Tyrus: 'Course I am! Don't let the scratches fool ya, I'm still eager and raring to go, Noelle. Let's end this.

Noelle: Right!

Solid: I thought you ended that abysmal peasant!

Nebra: He's a stubborn peasant, what do you want me to do!

Solid: Whatever we'll deal with him later.... you know what Noelle. I feel almost bad for you. Almost. Any direction you go, I'll be right there waiting for you. You and your accursed Black Bulls teammate stand no chance of ending either one of us or destroying our crystal.

Another mushroom forms on Noelle's robe as En communicates with her via mushroom.

En: Are you sure about about that, friend?

Noelle: WHOA WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?!

Tyrus: AHAHAHAHAHA! NOW THAT'S HILARIOUS!

En: Fear not you two, it's me En! I'm talking to you via my voice transmitting talking mushroom.

Noelle is less than pleased with this new development.

Noelle: YOU CAN'T JUST SHOW UP UNANNOUNCED LIKE THAT! IT'S AN INVASION OF PRIVACY!

En: I'll make it brief but please hear me out, Noelle. I've been hearing both of your siblings talk all day since before our battle began and well.... the way these two monsters treat their baby sister is flat out inexcusable! As the oldest of eleven children, it makes my blood boil. In fact my siblings are the reason that I'm even fighting here today! Noelle, an older brother and sister's most important job to oversee his or her siblings that may be weaker and are younger than them. BUT JUDGING BY THE MANY HURTFUL THINGS THESE TWO HAVE SAID TO YOU, IT'S CLEAR AS DAY THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AT ALL! SO BEAT THE TAR OUT OF THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Solid: That's enough from the fungus gallery!

Noelle: You've really gotten wound up since the fight started haven't you?

En: Humans are like animals, in that if you firmly put them in their place? They'll never oppose you again, Noelle!

Solid: AHAHAHAHAHA! This is quite hilarious, my sister lowering her standards by taking advice from a... mushroom! You're right Green Praying Mantis, someone's getting thrashed but it won't be Nebra nor I!

Mini Water Serpents begins to surround the Black Bulls as Nebra summons more Mist Clones as they wind up scratching Noelle's face and flipping Tyrus into the air, sending him crashing down.

Solid: We can crush you pathetic weaklings and no one would even bat an eyelash!

Nebra: But let us take our time, dear brother! That Black Bull over does have a mouth on him!

Tyrus: DAMN IT! Knock it off!

Noelle: Tyrus, please stand down! I can't watch you suffer anymore!

Tyrus: Y-You don't know me very well, Noelle. I'll give up when it's my time to die and bad news for your siblings.... I'm only just getting started.... Kami, let's do the damn thing.

Kuraokami: Right away, Young Master!

The Ice Spirit grows enormously stunning everyone on the platform area, including the King, Marx, the rest of he and Noelle's squadmates while exciting Julius.

Julius: OOOOOOHHHHHH!

Tyrus: You dare look on us commonfolk, that was your first fucking mistake Liquid and Nebra. But where you truly fucked up?

Noelle: You're right. Back then I was weak, there's no arguing that.

An explosion of ice surrounds him as Kuroakami then races into his body and then he begins to transform. Horns form at the top of his head with scaly fixtures developing on his forehead, his arms and legs begin to tone themselves out with more muscle mass, as they too form scales and glow brightly with a silver and blue mix. He then opens his eyes as they different colors, left eye silver and right one blue. Finally in addition to the added muscle mass, his hair is fully silver.

Finral: WHAT'S HAPPENING DOWN THERE?!

Asta: Let them have it, Tyrus!

Noelle: And you Solid.... my entire life you've always been the bigger, stronger older brother and in a sense even though you were cruel to me, I always looked up to you and Nebra. BUT I'M DONE CARING WHETHER OR NOT I NEED YOUR OPINIONS OR APPROVE OF ME BECAUSE I HAVE A FAMILY. THEY'RE THE BLACK BULLS AND I HAVE ALREADY EARNED THEIR APPROVAL, WHICH MEANS A WHOLE HELL OF A LOT MORE TO ME THAN YOURS EVER WILL!

Tyrus: RAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

BOOOOOOOOM! CRACKLE! WHOOOOSH! BOOOOOOM!

Tyrus: FEAST YOUR EYES ON MY ICE SPIRIT MAGIC, AZURE DRAGON!

Noelle: I'm done running and hiding from you both! Once upon a time, I was in fear of what your magic powers could do to me but now, it just feels silly. In fact I feel bad for the both of you!

Solid: WHO CARES YOU'RE STILL JUST A FAILURE?! Water Creation Magic, Slashing Sea Serpent's

Tyrus: Why don't you shut up and let her talk?!

Alecdora: Your existence is a very slap to my face! I WILL END YOU HERE AND NOW! SAND CREATION MAGIC, SAND ARMORED DREADNOUGHT GUARD! This is my most powerful spell, destroy this without the Wind Spirit if you're so brazen, YUNOOOOOO! IT'S OFFENSE AND DEFENSE ALL WRAPPED INTO ONE DEVASTATING PACKAGE! I WILL BE THE ONE WHO USHERS IN SIR VANGEANCE'S GLORIOUS DREAM INTO REALITY!

Yuno: Wind Magic, Towering Tornado!

Vanessa: Am I crazy or did Yuno somehow activate his Wind Magic from the inside of his opponent's magic?!

Finral: You're definitely not seeing things, I saw it too! Now I see why Asta and Tyrus speak so highly of him! Skills like that and the ladies can't get enough of him?! MAN I AM JEALOUS!

Tyrus: IT'S LIKE I SAID, OLDER SIBLINGS ARE MEANT TO HYPE AND UPLIFT THEIR YOUNGER SIBLINGS! I MAY NOT BE RELATED TO THEM BY BLOOD-

He thinks to several images of he, Asta and Yuno playing with their younger foster siblings. From celebrating Aruru's birthday, to Tyrus and Yuno helping hone Nash and Recca's magics to Asta eating dinner with them and playing house.

Tyrus: I WILL GO TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALRIGHT! HEY NEBRA..... THIS IS PAYBACK FOR MESSING UP MY FACE AND ALMOST KILLIN' ME! ICE SPIRIT MAGIC, HELLISH HAILSTONES!

He summons forth massive chunks of ice in the form of destructive tennis ball sized hailstones as he chucks them at Nebra who's able to evade the first wave but is soon caught and hit with several chunks in the second wave, knocking her out immediately. Meanwhile Alecdora falls to his knees, defeated as his Guard falls down in shambles.

Yuno: That's the Captain's dream.... but it's not mine. I only fight for my own dream.

Tyrus: Noelle... finish this sorry excuse of a sibling off.

Noelle: I plan on it, this has gone on long enough.

Solid: This is absurd! INSANE! INCONCEIVABLE! NOELLE SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS MUCH MAGIC POWER.... IN AN OFFENSIVE SPELL!

Solid stared down Noelle's most powerful spell as the head of it bore its menacing eyes down on the youngest Silva's bully for the better part of her life.

Noelle: ENOUGH OF THIS, WATER CREATION MAGIC, Sea Dragon's Roar!

Tyrus: Want me to help or-

Noelle: You've done more than enough and you took down Nebra for me.... thanks, partner. As for you Solid.... you might. Want to block.

Solid: NGHHHH... TRY IT YOU LITTLE PIPSQUEAK, I'LL KILL YOU TWO RIGHT WHERE YOU STAND! It looks so strong and fierce.... is this Noelle's true power? DO YOUR WORST, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING GIRL!

Noelle: SEA DRAGON'S ROAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!

And in a chaos full of water colliding with water, a crystal had been shattered and Solid had been flung in the air, falling down unconscious next to the already out Nebra.

Asta: AWESOME, THEY WON!

Mimosa: She wiped out their crystal with a single hit!

Announcer: CRYSTAL DESTROYED, TEAM P WINS!

Tyrus returns back to normal, as he surveys the damage.

Tyrus: Nice work, Noelle.

Noelle: I'm not weak, NOT ANYMORE! And I suppose you did good Tyrus, for what's it worth.

Tyrus: Heh, I'll take what I can get since you got us the win, oh....

He begins to fall down but she catches him from falling flat on his face.

Noelle: Are you all right?!

Tyrus: Yeah, yeah. That transformation took a lot more outta me than I'd like. Just need to stretch my body and I'll be good as new, Noelle. Don't worry about me but your face.

Noelle: Don't.... I kind of like having my own battle scar.

They smile at one another as they see Yuno and En coming up from behind.
