16: attack on the capital

"Listen up dirtbags!" Asta shouted. "I'm going to pile up results to become the Wizard King and silence every last one of you!"

Everyone was quiet for a few moments, appalled by his seemingly ridiculous outburst. Solid, Nebra, and Alecdora then began to laugh.

"Become the Wizard King? Don't be ridiculous!"

Y/n remained frozen, unable to do anything as the three began to attack her friend with their mist, water and sand magic. Asta's swift movements and skilled use of his sword thankfully left him unscathed, but she still couldn't help but feel guilty. She was a magic knight too. She should be sticking up for those that can't. But how could she when she could barley stick up for herself?

"Behaving like this at such a festive event," Alecdora scoffed. His Sand Armored Guard spell firmly gripped Asta, immobilizing him. "I'm sure you'll receive some kind of penalty."

"Hey now. Why so soft, Golden Dawn?" Solid asked which a dark chuckle. His magic gathered around him for another attack. "Any guy who's that full of himself needs to be taught a lesson to that he never makes another mess. Water Creation Magic: Holy Water Bullet."

The sharp attack shot at the ash-blond male. Finally, Y/n's feet moved.

Seemingly in a flash, she transported in front of Asta. Her grimoire flipped open, the pages glowing purple. "Celestial Magic: Ram's Hellfire."

Despite the difference in attributes, Y/n's fire spell overwhelmed Solid's water spell. The two attacks collided, producing a thick steam, but the fire continued to barrel towards the noble. It hit him full force, forcing him to his knees.

A dark expression covered Y/n's face. Her eyes held a certain anger that even Yuno had never seen before. She approached Solid, her movements swift and firm.

"Apologize to Asta," the h/c-ette demanded. "Apologize to your sister."

Solid grit his teeth, glaring back at her. However, his body slightly trembled from fear at her menacing aura. "You filthy little rat-"

"Solid," Nozel called, silencing his younger brother. The captain of the Silver Eagles stepped into the fray. He emitted a powerful aura which let everyone know of his status. Y/n held her stance, trying not to waver in front of the man.

"Nozel-onii sama, don't waste your magic on mere peasants," Solid exclaimed. Nozel didn't listen.

"A peasant that defies royals...how should I pass judgement on you?" He asked rhetorically, eyes narrowing darkly.

"That's enough!" Fuegoleon intervened. His loud voice boomed throughout the room, stopping everyone in their tracks. "All this for one boy? Aren't you embarrassed, Silva family?" Nozel looked at the orange haired male but didn't say anything.

Leopold approached Asta. "It's just like Mimosa told me. You're a pretty interesting guy. All right! Rejoice! Today, I, Leopold Vermilion, declare you my rival!!"

Y/n walked up to the teen and punched him in the stomach hard. He wheezed and hunched over. "That's for the mean things you said about Yuno earlier," she said coldly.

Her attention then turned to his elder brother who was in a current stand off with the silver haired captain. Both had a tremendous presence and tremendous power. Nobody dared to get involved.

"Lord Julius allowed him to be here, and Y/n is a member of my squad," Fuegoleon spoke. "They may be only peasants but can't you give them a little credit?"

"I never thought I'd hear such words from a royal. The house Vermilion has gone soft," Nozel scoffed. "What sort of credit is an eagle who soars the sky supposed to give to an insect that crawls on the ground?"
