Behind The Mask (An OC x Black Clover Harem)

Chapter 11: Opposition

Blue: Can you see why I didn't ask for help? It's not because I don't need it.....it's because I don't trust anyone....that includes you....Charlotte Roselei.

Charlotte: No one? Not even your own teammates? Or your captain?

Blue:......No

Sol: Hey kid! Why are you being rude Charlotte?!

Blue: I'm not being rude, I'm just being real with her

I turn to walk away so that I can eliminate more of these undead but Charlotte calls for me.

Charlotte: Wait!

Blue: What is it? I don't have time to talk

Charlotte: Why are you like this? I have never met someone like you, you're young but you hold no emotion in your voice or actions

Blue:.....I'm getting tired of this same question, over and over again. What about you? Yami talks about how cold you are towards some people, mostly men. You're almost like me, young but atleast you have some emotion.

Charlotte: D-Does he really think I'm young?

Blue: So answer me? Why are you like this?

Charlotte: U-Umm

Blue: I assume you have your reasons, so if you think about, I would have my reasons......do I want to share it with you? No, no I don't.

And with that, I walk away from the two and move around the Royal Capital, taking out many of these undead. However, my already broken mind was going all over the place as many questions circled around me again.

Why are people curious about me?

Why do they want to know?

Why do they question my behaviour?

Do they care?

Or do they want to mock me?

......Who knows?

While I start walking, I hear something whistling. Immediately I knew it was a knife and moved my head to the side, a sharp knife embeds itself into the ground. I look towards where it came from and saw 5 more of these knives going for my vital organs.

Acting quickly, I create a shadow sword in my hand and deflected them.

???: Not bad Magic Knight, you're fast aren't you? Any other Magic Knight would probably be dead

I heard a voice above me and saw a figure on top of someone's house, he had a mask on like me and a top hat. On his left wrist was some sort of gauntlet with a three dagger claw.

I could see blood on it which meant some unfortunate souls were on the receiving ends of his claw.

Blue: Who are you? Are you behind this?

???: I guess you can call that, I work with the people that have orchestrated this whole thing.

Blue: And you tell me this because?

???: I don't intend to keep you alive

This masked man jumps from the roof with his claw ready, I stand there with my arms by my side and form a shadow barrier to block his attack.

However the barrier was destroyed by his claw, I was slightly surprised but I saw that his claw was glowing with some sort of red aura.

The claw attack was going for me and I jump back, his attack smashes against the floor and breaks apart some of the bricks.
