There And Back Again [Black Clover x BNHA]

Chapter Fifty-Nine

QUICK SPOILER FOR MANGA: Skip to the actual story if you don't wanna be spoiled for what happens later in the manga that hasn't been shown in the anime yet.

SPOIL TIME: As many of us know, during the all out war we witness Mirio back in action and fighting with his quirk. This is likely due to Eri as she was going to be practicing how to use her quick and then eventually restore his powers. Clearly, this has been done. HOWEVER, this is not the current time in my story. Therefore, as much as I want Eri to reverse Finral, it isn't possible at this moment because she would likely revert him too far and possibly kill him. So as much as she will want to heal him, she cannot be allowed because she is still unstable.

ON TO THE STORY NOW!

Asta fought Langris with all his power, Mimosa and Xerx happily joining him to teach the rogue spatial user a lesson. In the end, the match resulted in a draw, Asta collapsing into Magna's waiting arms. The rest of the mages and students had come down to the field, moving close to the anti-magic boy, ignoring the outraged cries of the King. Julius just smiled softly, Marx fretting by his side.

The teen was carted away by some healers, exhaustion having completely wrecked his body at this point. Mimosa left to go with him, Jirou and Ashido tagging along as neither found themselves inclined to stay at the exam any longer. Both were still raging at Langris, and smiled grimly as he was taken away in bindings.

Todoroki, Midoriya, and Bakugou remained with Nemuri, standing by the remaining Bulls as Yuno and Noelle's team dominated the rest of the exam, destroying Rill the Captain in an intense battle where Yuno showed off a new form of his. Luck had whined about being unable to face the wind user, but Magna told him he could always challenge him to a duel later. Not that Yuno would likely consent, but that was a future problem to handle.

The actual King of Clover (not that anyone recognized him as being such) left in a huff, annoyed that some backwater peasant had won the entire exam and defeated a Magic Knight Captain in the process. Once he was finally gone, the other mages came forward, eager to hear what the Wizard King had to say as his face held a giant grin.

That could only mean trouble.

"Now that the Royal Knights Exam is over, we are going to do something that wasn't originally in the plans, but since our new friends expressed interest in fighting, I believe we should give them that chance."

"Tch, better be someone strong." Bakugou grumped, although his eyes sparkled with excitement.

Midoriya visibly was buzzing, Luck standing next to him doing the exact same. At the sight of the identical crazed grins on their faces, the other mages moved slightly away. Todoroki just crossed his arms, peeking a glance over at Gauche who stood beside him, staring once again at a picture of his little sister.

"What many of you don't know is that we already have some knights picked out for the Royal squad." There were murmurs at that, and Julius chuckled. "We have selected two Captains of our current squads to take part in this battle ahead of us, and Marx was able to convince them on such short notice to come forward and fight our new recruits."

Noelle looked horrified, casting a quick glance at the boys to see if they were fazed in the slightest. Yuno just sent up a silent prayer, unknowing that in minutes he would be on his knees, chanting for the three's lives to be spared. The royal would be beside him doing the same, the Bulls only being able to stare in horror.
