「4」The Wizard King's Call

"The Wizard King wants to see who?!" The Black Bull's members shouted in bewilderment, immediately halting in all of their tracks. Euanthe just looked over to the area of the uproar groggily, having just woken up in the early noon. "Oh my shit, where's my coffee when I need it?"

"Who did the Wizard King ask for?! Who?! Who?!"

"He wants to see the new pipsqueak apparently." The captain replied, relatively unsurprised at the news as he lit up yet another cigarette.

"Euanthe?!"

The blue haired maiden was in the middle of trying to brew her 'hot brown morning concoction' called coffee. Hearing her name being shouted, she looked at them in reply.

"...huh?"

The pink haired witch known as Vanessa rested her jaw on her palm looking over at her captain confusedly. "Lil' Euanthe? But didn't she just get here five days ago? She hasn't even tried our annual Black Bull's entrance exam!"

Hearing this, a delinquent looking flame-user had decided to join in on the conversation. "Speaking of which, Euanthe! You better learn magic quick and prepare yourself when you get back! Hell, I'm not gonna go easy on you!"  The flame using delinquent known as Magna proudly cheered as he pointed intensely at the newbie. "We'll give you a 'proper' Black Bull's welcome! Just wait!"

Euanthe blankly stared at him, a direct contrast to his passionate monologue. Bringing her cup to her mouth slowly and resting it on her lip, she said irritatedly; "Don't talk to me before I've had my coffee."

"Is that really your reaction?!" Magna shouted in disbelief as he anime-fell.

Yami nonchalantly shrugged and rubbed the back of his neck, ignoring the idiots that were his squad members. "Guess so, they even sent this fancy-smancy letter to dear ol' newbie." He answered, reaching out for the neatly packaged letter from his pocket and bringing it up to show.

Vanessa whistled, plastering a sly smirk on her features. "Wow~ Euanthe is already being noticed!" She grinned. "Um, but I still don't even know how to use magi-" The dimension traveler was blatantly ignored as she was quickly interrupted by her captain.

"So, who wants to go with the newbie? She needs a guide for the capital."

"I'll go!" The entirety of the squad yelled in unison. "I wonder what kinds of food they serve there? La!" Charmy sang. Noelle just hmphed and looked away, although no one could miss the light pink dusting her cheeks. "...of course, I can always go!" She mumbled shyly.

The blue haired maiden sipped her hot bitter concoction nervously as she tried to recall what exactly happened in this particular situation from the manga. This is odd... Nobody was supposed to be invited to the capital this early.

"Um, actually, I can go on my own..." Euanthe spoke up, instinctively raising her hand as if she was still a student to get the squad's attention. Yami slowly turned to stare at her dangerously.

"What was that?"

Shivers ran down her spine as black lines stretched throughout her face. She smiled nervously, as she opposed the much taller man. "Uh, captain, Asta will wake up in two days time. Him and Noelle need to report to the capital about their mission anyway. So, I can just go on my own, I can meet up with them later!" I reasoned, setting my cup down.

He just rolled his eyes and let out a puff of smoke, exasperated. "Whatever," he said. "Finral, get your ass over here." The caramel haired male immediately came into view, being called by his almighty captain. "Take Euanthe to the capital?" He guessed, already starting to open up a spacial door. Yami nodded in confirmation, not saying anything more.
