The room fell silent upon hearing the news of the attack. The Golden Dawn member who had previously attacked Asta flipped to a new page in his grimoire. Sand spiraled from the ground forming a scene of terror. The whole town was laid out in front of us showing everything down to the people being attacked. The screams could even be heard from the tiny sand made people as they ran through the streets terrified of the chaos. I tried listening to Fuegoleon think up a strategy for us, but the tiny screams sent shivers down my spine.

"Hey! What the hell are we waiting for!" Asta suddenly yelled barreling towards the door. "The people out there need our help! I'm going to help them!"

Klaus yelled back in concern. "Where exactly will you go? It's not like you can sense magic right?"

"I'll go where the sound is loudest!" With that Asta ran through the large open doors.

Leopold burst out laughing. " This is good. Let me see the extent of your abilities!" He followed behind Asta leaving without a plan. "Wait for me my rival!"

"Oh you dumbasses!" I yelled going to follow. As I went to run I felt a yank on my collar making me fall on my ass. "Oww what the hell?"

I look up to see Fuegoleon looking at me disgruntled. "You'll be coming with me." He looked up at everyone else. "You might not like me taking the lead but listen Magic Knights!" Flames formed under him making the shape of a lion to ride into battle. "I'll be going after Leopold and the Black Bull. You other bulls are also coming with me."

As he directed the other teams I grabbed Noelle's arm using my flames to boost us up onto Fuegoleon's lion mount. I was trying to do my best to hold in my excitement from witnessing such breathtaking flame magic. His magic being lion themed was just a huge plus for me. Quickly the lion leapt forward crashing through the window alongside the other teams as we split ways.

"You're a flame user too I see." Fuegoleon turned slightly talking to me.

"Ahh yeah. My flames burn hotter than most flame users, but that comes with its own drawbacks I guess." I laughed nervously.

"It's an amazing magic. We had blue flame users in our family for generations, but sadly the magic has died out in our bloodline. I'm glad to see such a power living on somewhere. I just wish I could have gotten someone like you in my squad."

My face grew bright red. "I- Umm.. That's an honor just to hear that. Thank you."

He chuckled. "I know Yami wouldn't give up a comrade, but if you'd like to stand in on training in my squad sometime I bet Leopold could teach you some tricks with his magic."

"I'll accept that offer! Thank you so much!"

We finally spotted Leopold blasting his way through what looks like zombies. We landed next to him with Fuegoleon blasting some of the zombies away. My grimoire flipped to my new spell making my blue flaming claws appear over my arms. I lunged forwards slicing through the skulls of several zombies making them collapse to the ground only to have them slowly get back up.

"We need to incapacitate them!" Fuegoleon shouted back at us as his magic surged creating a large lion burning them to a crisp.

I turned towards the horde coming my way while putting my fiery paws in front of me. A cone of blue flames spiraled towards them instantly incinerating them leaving ash dance around in the wind. The heat would be unbearable if I wasn't taught at a young age how to coat myself in my own mana to keep from getting too hot from my own magic.

Leopold backed towards me while we fought the surrounding enemies. "I guess another rival has entered the fray."

I chuckled lazily trying to keep up with my constant mana output. "I guess so. Your brother has acknowledged me and offered to let me train alongside you."
