There And Back Again [Black Clover x BNHA]

Chapter Twelve

"First up, Sen Kaibara and Hanta Sero."

The two combatants walked to the center of the gym, positioning themselves across from one another in the area Cementoss had made earlier in the day. On Nemuri's signal, the match began.

Asta and Noelle watched the two students battle one another, intrigued by the way they used their abilities. Sero's tape was being torn apart by Kaibara's spinning limbs and there was no clear winner as of yet. They were startled, however, when a hand landed on each of their shoulders.

"Look who we have here." A voice drawled out, spinning the two mages around to face him. The male leaned forward, inspecting them closely. "Huh, not what I would have expected."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Asta yelled, raising a fist before him. He glared at the student in front of him.

"Ooh! Violent too! Perfect fit for Class 1-A then, I suppose." The male dramatically threw a hand across his face, grinning slyly at the mages. "Such a shame."

"W-who are you, insect?" Noelle said, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Did, did you just call me an insect?! I'll have you know I am the wonderful Monoma of Class 1-B! One of the most superior students in this class of hero-"

SLAP!

"I'm so sorry about him." A girl with bright red-hair smiled at them, holding Monoma down on the ground with abnormally large hands. "He does not represent our class at all. It's a pleasure to meet the two of you, though. I'm Kendo."

"Nice to meet you! I'm Asta!"

"Noelle." The silver-haired mage looked down at Monoma who was rubbing his head on the floor. "He really is an insect, saying those things to people like us."

"Yeah... we're working on his attitude." Kendo pushed Monoma back into the ground when he began to struggle. "Anyways, I can't wait to see your quirks in action. Sensei told us how you use old tomes to wield them and that sounds archaic and amazing! There's so much we don't know about smaller places in Japan I guess."

"Mhmm. It'll be interesting for certain to use them here."

"I just hope I get someone really strong! Show you guys the strength of my ma- er, my quirk!" Asta quickly corrected himself when Noelle shot him a glare, a sheepish smile blooming on his face.

"And that's the match!" The three turned their heads at Nemuri's call, looking towards the field where Sero and Kaibara were shaking hands. As the two walked off back towards their respective classes, Aizawa scanned over everyone to see who would go next.

"Neito Monoma and Yuno, please step forward!"

Kendo reluctantly let the male stand up from the ground, watching as he brushed himself off before striding to the field. Asta and Noelle watched as Yuno calmly walked forward, his face as emotionless as ever. Everyone in the gym seemed to draw closer, curious to see how this battle would turn out.

Nemuri gave the signal and Monoma immediately moved forward, a smirk growing on his face. Yuno stood still, not making a move towards his grimoire at all.

"So you're one of the new students, huh?" Monoma called out as he walked forward, growing ever closer to Yuno. "I heard your quirk is hurricane. Sounds pretty intense to me. How come you're not using it yet? Scared I'm going to beat you?"

Yuno didn't reply, instead moving his right hand up, his grimoire beginning to glow a soft green. Wind slowly began to pick up around him.

"Pssh, there's no way that wind can do any damage to me. It's so pathetic, but then again, makes sense that they put you in Class 1-A. After all, they aren't anywhere close to 1-B's skill." Monoma was almost upon Yuno at this point, barely five feet away. Seeing this as his chance, he leaped forward, placing a hand on Yuno's arm.
