Chapter 19: Down To Your Knees

"You damn fool. Trying to kill a squad member around his whole squad."

"We're here to stop you, la!"

"Miz Charmy and Zora!" Asta exclaimed.

"Wow, more insects that I have to contend with! You all really aren't playing fair, aren't ya'?" Clovis said in an angered tone.

"Pathetic. Are we really up against an 18-year-old wannabe murderer? Honestly, I wonder why you all were struggling so much." Zora sighed.

"It's not like we had much of a damn choice!" Magna snapped at him.

Zora rolled his eyes and ignored Magna. "I set my trap there, knowing ahead of time you'd be standing over it before it set off. Luckily, my prediction was right. Who knew you could be so obvious?" He said to Clovis.

Charmy, who followed behind him, was hopping up and down. "We came to stop you so we can have dinner together!"

I was still breathing hard, trying to catch my breath enough for me to speak. "You're... here?"

"Of course we are. And I thought of anyone here, you'd know that already." Zora replied.

"I did. I just couldn't focus enough to tell that it was you two." I said.

"That's what they all say. Anyway, I'll crush the life out of this loser." Zora declared.

"DOWN TO YOUR KNEES!" Charmy hollered to Clovis.

"You all are seriously getting in my way!" Clovis yelled.

"Shut your mouth already, dumbass." Zora said.

"Let's see what you imbeciles think about this! Ice Magic: Piercing Icicles!" Clovis directed his magic towards Zora.

"I bet you haven't seen what my magic can do yet." Zora said in a chill manner. He spawned an array above his torso, which absorbed Clovis's magic. "This spell doubles yours, and sends it right back at you." Clovis's ice spell was then stronger and was sent back his way. Clovis tried to avoid it but was too late. He was hit by it and was shot hard into the wall, bleeding.

"And get binded by my restraining spell!" Charmy cheered as she spawned cotton that binded Clovis so he couldn't move out of it.

"Idiots..." Clovis breathed.

"Y'know, I could be just making assumptions here, but I'm pretty sure you're the one who portrayed yourself as an idiot." Magna pointed out.

I let out a small laugh in response.

Magna walked towards me. "Are you alright now, Luck?"

I looked up at him. "Yeah,"

He reached his hand out to me. "C'mon, get up." He let out a little laugh.

I grabbed his hand and used it as support to stand up. I didn't realize how numb my legs were from sitting for so long. I was about to fall until Magna helped me stay standing up by holding my shoulders. "Haha," I smiled. It feels good to be able to smile for the first time after two whole weeks. I can now get back to my everlasting smile.

Magna began. "Luck, y'know I was being serious when I said that I was sorry, right? I might not be able to forgive myself..."

"Magna, you silly chicken!" I responded.

"Huh?! What's so funny?!"

"I already forgive you. It wasn't your fault, obviously!"

"But it clearly was– I hung out with stupid Clovis instead and said horrible things to you that must've hurt." He's right: It did hurt, but now that we defeated Clovis, it doesn't hurt anymore.

"But it was his plan all along, so it was a 50/50 on whether it was going to work or not. It was his intention, not yours."

"I guess..." He clearly had doubts. So what if I shock those doubts away? I touched Magna's shoulder and shocked him with lightning magic. "HEY!"

I laughed, causing everyone around us to laugh as well. Charmy grabbed the binded Clovis in her cotton magic spell. "Got the culprit!"

"Let... go... of... me." Clovis breathed.

"No way, bonehead." Magna rolled his eyes. He wasn't wearing his glasses and had his hair down. He must've taken them off earlier. Kind of wanted a reason for him to fight me.

"We should take him to the Royal Capital. I'm sure the Wizard King knows what to do with him." Noelle suggested.

"We could accuse him of treason within the Black Bulls Base." Vanessa said.

"Seems... fair." Finral said as he tried to get up.

Vanessa patted Finral on the back. "You're weak and hurt now. I don't think you could help transport him. Charmy can go there with..." She looked around at everyone until her eyes rested on me. "...Luck. Would you like to go with her?"

"Sure!" I smiled.

"Honestly, having a battle obsess and a food addict go together to visit the highest ranking mage in the Kingdom wouldn't be the best idea." Zora commented.

"Well, it is Charmy's binding spell that we need to be able to take him there in the first place and Luck could tell the Wizard King about it, since he clearly knows everything." Vanessa pointed out.

"Reasonable." Noelle replied.

"Haha! Alright, let's go, Charmy!" I said cheerfully.

"ALRIGHT!" She said as she spawned cotton beneath her as a ride and she began floating away.

"See ya'!" I waved to them before I equipped my Holy Lightning Boots and zoomed off in Charmy's direction.

"Bye, Miz Charmy! Bye, Luck!" Asta yelled.

"See you! And don't get lost, you idiot!" Magna called out to me.

"Like I would get lost before you do!" I left him at that. He's probably going to attempt to kill me when I get back, but Magna isn't capable of that. I just know it.

The thought of finally being able to fight Magna again after such a long time is making me eager to return.
