Devil King

Pay Day

...

As usual, it was absolute chaos in the common room of the hideout.

Just your average Tuesday in the Black Bulls Base.

Fireballs being thrown about.

Lightening zapping around.

Food piled up in towers.

Booze bottles littering the tables.

Smoke blowing from somewhere in the room.

Captain Yami slamming down walls with pure muscle power.

The Black Bulls were just a weird bunch.

"Alright you morons, quit breaking stuff!" He hollered.

Everything quieted down, assuming some semblance of order.

"You're the one breaking the most stuff." Noelle murmurs, rolling her eyes.

Captain Yami stared at her menacingly," Wanna repeat that? I couldn't hear you well the first time."

Noelle shrunk her neck in submission," No, sir." She replied timidly.

"Heh." Asta scoffs shooting her a gloating smirk from beside her.

"And you," Yami growls pointing at Asta," Don't think I didn't notice you trying to put laxatives in my food just now!"

Everyone made a surprised expression and turned to glance at Asta's. He wasn't actually going to do it. He didn't have a death wish. He has much he has to yet accomplish. So, he sensibly smiled flatteringly at the man who was shooting him death glares,

"But sir, I was just trying to help yo-" Maybe he doesn't want to preserve his life all that much.

"Shut your trap, like I'll need help from an idiot like you." Yami said glaring at Asta disdainfully.

"You are almighty, Captain Yami!" Asta cheered throwing his hands up.

"You wanna die, kid?" Yami blankly asked.

Asta then frantically apologized, fearing for his life," Sorry, sir. I won't do it again."

Noelle gave him a slanted glance," Heh."

Asta sneered at her.

"Now then," Yami began. "Believe it or not, the Wizard King himself has acknowledged your efforts, and because of your hard work, he awarded us a star!"

The group immediately began celebrating, showing various levels of awe and glee.

"What does the star mean?" Asta asked.

"It's an honor," Vanessa explained.

"All the squads compete to earn the most annually. Right now, the Golden Dawn is ranked number one with 70 stars."

Asta, once again questioned his decision of entering the Black Bulls.

"How many do the Black Bulls have?" Asta quickly asked, not wanting to be behind his rival. Yuno has enough advantages already; this would just be extra assistance to propel that handsome bastard forward.

The golden star in Yami's hands then floated to a wooden board with several black stars and slotted itself over the black star, the black star disappeared.

"With this, we're now at negative thirty." Yami said, proudly.

Noelle and Asta were shocked to say the least," How is it even possible to get negative stars?!"

Yami and the rest of the Black Bulls pointedly avoided answering the question.

"Anyway, ya want some good news?" Yami diverted his squad's attention.
