~Next Day~
Kyoya woke up from his dream and got out of his bed. For some reason, he couldn't remember the dream he had. Soon he walks out of his room only to walk straight into a pillar.

"Dammit!!!!! The whole base moved around again. No use worrying about it. Guess i'll see how the new recruit is doing."

As Kyoya walked around the base, he saw sensed a large amount of mana. As he followed the path that lead towards the source, he saw a girl with long silver hair wearing the Black Bulls robe. Since he didn't recognize her, he figured that she was also a new recruit.

"Ummmmm.....hello there."

"Hmm? What do you want insect?"

A tic mark could be seen on Kyoya's head as he was trying to fight the urge to drop kick the new recruit. As he took a deep breath he tried to keep the conversation going.

"Just wanted to introduce myself. Since you're new and we'll be working together, i thought introductions were in order. I'm Kyoya Fullbuster, nice to meet you."

"I don't like talk to peasants, but i'll play along. I am royalty after all. I'm Noelle Silva of the Silva Household."

Kyoya soon smiled as he looked at Noelle. Soon he grabbed her hands and got on one knee as he looked at Noelle with a soft smile.

"I'm sorry for my rudeness, Miss Silva. As such allow me to show my gratitude."

"Hmph, that's more lik-"

Noelle didn't finish her sentence as she suddenly felt cold. When she looked down, she saw that her hands were now frozen in ice. As she looked at Kyoya she saw him walking away.

"Hey you peasant! Get back here and undo this spell!!!"

"Nah, you can do it on your own. You're royalty, right? I believe in you."

Kyoya merely laughs as heard Noelle screaming at him to undo the ice. As he walked around headquarters, he found himself at the dining room. When he sat down, he saw Yami taking a seat in front of him.

"So brat, what do you think of the fresh blood?"

"They're alright, Captain Yami. Though you have strange taste in new recruits. But considering you accepted me into this squad, i'm not one to judge."

Yami and Kyoya laughed for a moment. It seemed like they had some interesting new recruits this year. As they finished laughing, Yami looked at Kyoya.

"Anyways, the Black Bulls got a new mission. Apparently some thugs were seen around pillaging a village in the Forsaken Realm, Sosshi Village to be more exact. Rumor has it that they're fugitives from the Diamond Kingdom."

"Sosshi Village......isn't that near Magna's hometown?"

Yami nodded to Kyoya's question. Sosshi is a small village near the southwest border of the Clover Kingdom. Since it was in the Forsaken Realm, it's common for some crimes to occur. Soon Yami spoke up to Kyoya.

"I would send Magna, but he's busy showing the newbies around. Plus the last thing he needs to do now is worry. So that's why i'm sending you there."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Either you go there or i kill you. Your choice, brat."

"I'll leave immediately!!"

Just as Kyoya was about to leave, Yami was trying to remember something else he was told. After a moment of thinking, he remembered what it was.

"Oh yeah, you won't be heading out alone. Some other squad is sending their magic knight to help you. They'll be waiting at Kikka for you. Can't remember which squad though. "

"Some help you are."

"What was that?"

"Nothing Captain!!!!"

Soon Kyoya ran out the hideout as he got on his broom and started to fly over to Kikka. As he was flying, he started to think to himself.

"So i'm working with another magic knight. If it turns out to be a noble, i better pray that the mission isn't so serious that i need to use my grimoire."

As Kyoya was flying on his broom, he puts a hand on his necklace. When he did, he started to remember the words that Ur told him long ago.

"Ur......if you're watching me from the heavens....then please give me strength."

Soon Kyoya arrived at the center of Kikka. Kikka is one of the castle towns of the Clover Kingdom. It's a well-developed town with paved roads and many large stone-based houses. Many people, including the Magic Knights, come here when they need to do errands.

"Its been a while since i've been here. If Captain Yami was right, then the person i'm working with should be here."

Kyoya soon started to wait for the person he was supposed to be working with. As he did, he got bored and started to make small ice sculptures of the Black Bulls. Soon he saw someone walking towards him.

"Excuse me, are you perhaps the person i'm suppose to meet up with?"

Kyoya looked at the person in front of him. It was a teenage girl his own age with azure blue hair, midnight blue eyes, snow skin complexion and a curvaceous figure. However, he was more focused on the robe she was wearing.

"So she's part of the Blue Rose Knights. Just my damn luck. That squad pretty much makes men their lapdogs or something."

"Judging from your robe, you must be the Black Bull member i am working with. My name is Juvia Lockser. Let's get this mission done quickly."

Kyoya looked at the woman's eyes. While her tone may be friendly, he could tell he was being looked down upon. Was it because he was a commoner or a Black Bull? Kyoya didn't know and didn't care.

"Yeah, i'm the guy you have to work with. My name is Kyoya Fullbuster. I assume you know all about the details."

Juvia nods her head without saying a word. In her mind she was thinking about why she had to work with a man and a member of the worst magic knight squad. However, she did want to finish this mission so she has no choice but to cooperate.

"Do you know how to get there?"

"Of course. Sosshi Village is near one of my squad mate's hometown. He even took me their once in the past to help him with a job. I can lead the way."

~Meanwhile~
The people in Sosshi Village were terrified. A group of men were seen at the center of the village. One of them was a teenage boy with a large horizontal scar stretching from cheek to cheek, brown eyes, and blonde hair.

"Heh, you lot barely have anything to offer us. Well we got what we came for, but let me ask you something. Did the Witch of Greed come through here?!"

The villagers had no idea what the man was talking about. Seeing their reaction, the blonde haired boy started to get irritated. He opened his grimoire and was ready to attack until he heard someone speaking to him.

"Kufufu. Try to behave yourself, Ken. After all, we are not in a rush."

Ken turned around to look at his leader. When he did, he saw his leader smiling at him. Soon Ken looked down on the ground and apologized.

"Please forgive me, Mukuro."
