Asta: [Pants] H-How much better did you get?!

Blue: Everytime I understand my magic more, I get stronger. I don't always have to train my using my abilities more like other magic knights

Asta: A-Amazing!

Velvet: I second that!

It was the day before the full moon and Asta wanted to test himself against me one last time. He wanted to see how strong he got but he didn't anticipate that I would increase that much.

Asta: Take this!

Asta uses his sword to kick the sand and block my view, he then tries to attack me from above, thinking I wasn't going to see him coming. I use Phantom and could see that Asta swiped at me few times.

When the sand clears, he goes for one more attack that I interrupt by holding Asta back with my shadows. He couldn't move and he tried to slash my shadows but my shadows reduced the mobility of his hand.

Velvet: He just never learns does he?

Asta: Dammit, I lost again?

Blue: Yes

I remove my shadows and Asta falls to the sandy ground, he gets up and puts his sword back into his grimoire.

Blue: You need to find a way to remove magic and magic effects without having to slash them with your sword

Asta: How am I supposed to do that?

Blue: That is your responsibility

Asta: Okay! I promise I will try that for myself!

Blue: Good, now come, nightfall is upon us-

Asta: Blue

Blue: What is it?

Asta: Have you.....ever smiled before?

Blue: Smiled?

Velvet: Actually yeah, he has a point, you have never smiled once have you?

Asta: You know, like this!

Asta's mouth alters where the ends of it are pointing upwards and his mouth forms into some sort of slope. I have seen people do this, is this smiling?

Blue: I....haven't done this before

Asta: What?! Really?! What was your childhood like?

Blue:..........

Velvet: Blue?

Asta: O-Oh sorry

Blue: It's fine......

Velvet: Are you ever going to explain your past?

Blue:.......

Velvet: Come on! You should!

Blue: No

Velvet: [Pouts] I'll get the truth out of you one day

I walk towards the Hotel just as the sun was setting, Asta ran ahead because he wanted to eat at the restaurant. However, before I entered the hotel, I heard water splashing and looked back at the beach.

It was Noelle and she was trying her hardest in controlling her magic. She collapses to her knees so I walk up to her and offer my hand.

Noelle: B-Blue?

Blue: Stand up

Noelle takes my hand and stands up before patting the sand off her clothes.

Noelle: What are you doing here?
