True Colours || Asta x Noelle Fanfic

Page 1 | The Decision

Embers crackled loudly amongst the squaking chatter of a group of lively people. These were, of course, the Black Bulls, as you could tell from their signature emblem of the head of a vicious bull printed on their dark robes.

The Black Bulls are considered the 'absolute worst Magic Knights squad' due to the expenses they dealt in damage heavily ourwieghing that of their income. Not only that, they were mostly comprised of outsiders, peasants or those considered overall failures, often looked down upon in the Clover Kingdom.

However, this squad has recently begun to bring itself to light after accumulating over one hundred stars from the Wizard King - not including the negative thirty they had to repay - and placing second out of all the squads and nearly beating the Golden Dawn, the top Magic Knights squad occupied by royals and powerful mages, and led by William Vangeance, the most likely candidate for the next Wizard King.

This feat wouldn't be possible without the two rookies, Asta and Noelle Silva.

"Hmph, she's at it again." The delinquent Magna whispered to the energetic Luck, who were observing Noelle pretending to read but was instead obviously watching Asta train outside.

"2887...2888...2889..." The muscular shorty could be faintly heard counting his many pressups.

To Noelle, it was a beautiful sight, the dense moonlight gazing upon Asta's already bright face and appearance. It was so dream-like, something out of a fantasy.

"How does he manage that many? So incredible..~" She thought as her heart began to stir. "H-Huh!? No! That idiot is far from incredible!"

Magna tried to hold back his laughter watching the blushing Noelle shaking
on the spot.
"Asta got your attention again?" He smugly said as he walked over to her.

"N-NO! I was just keeping an eye on Stupidsta, that's all!" She nervously yelled back. "Besides, I'm royalty. Why would someone like me be interested in a peasant like him?"

The others chuckled and giggled.

Noelle abruptly stood up. "Tch, insects. I'm going to my room." She hastily walked out of the room to escape the embarrassment.

There was a brief pause; the fire gently crackled during the silence.

"Jeez...we gotta do something about them two!" The pink-haired Vanessa moaned. "I'm tired of waiting for something to happen.."

"So we set them up, la!?" Charmy replied.

"Ohoho...well look no further than yours truly!" Finral exclaimed. "This is my expertise, after all-"

"No." Vanessa harshly cut in.

"Eek! Why do you have to be so mean, Vanessa-san..?" He replied, his tone containing a blend of annoyance and sadness. 

The mask-faced Gordon sat mumbling to himself. "Love is an emotion shared between two people with a very close bond...Asta and Noelle have become closer and closer each day...they must truly love eachother...as expected from my best friends...I wish we could share this love too.."

"Maybe they could fight to the death! That'll make them fall in love!" Luck cheerfully shouted.

"Huh!? Of course not!" Magna shouted back. "I guess it's decided, then. If Asta and Noelle won't get together, then we'll do it for them!"

Gauche groaned. "If it means one less rival for Marie, I'm down."

"I agree, but I'm not gonna help. Do what you want." Yami, the squad captain, said from behind his newspaper.

"It's settled, then!" Magma yelled. "Alright, let's come up with the perfect plan!!"

And suddenly, to everyones sudden surprise, Asta poked his head around the door, looking confused and interested.

"What's this about a plan?"
