There And Back Again [Black Clover x BNHA]

Chapter Forty

This came in to over 4000 words... it's a hefty one. :3 Also, just twelve little things that happened between our students and mages.

For the next three days, things went as back to normal as possible for U.A. and the mages. Let's take a look into some of the things that went down during this time, shall we?

Cats:

Aizawa was a cat lover, no doubt about it. So when Eri asked if Vanessa and Finral could come over and play with her after school, he knew it was his chance to pounce.

The two mages had been assisting with the professors in their classes, bringing their own knowledge to help teach the students about things they were unaware of. Vanessa and Nemuri had formed a tight bond and the witch was more than happy to help with her classes. Finral worked with Ectoplasm in his math classes. Portals required math, believe it or not, and being able to calculate distances and such, so he was a great asset to the hero.

Both happily showed up to Aizawa's living area after classes ended, Eri greeting them at the door. The little girl grabbed a hand from each mage and dragged them into her room to play with them, shyly showing off her dolls and artwork. Together the three played together for a bit before heading to the kitchen to have a small snack.

While Finral prepared something for them, Rouge appeared, plopping down onto the counter while stretching. Eri squealed at the sight of the cat, instantly reaching out to pet it. The cat happily obliged, leaning down to let the girl scratch it's fur.

Aizawa, who had been working quietly in the other room immediately got up from the couch, placing his laptop onto it. He walked quickly but not too fast to alert the others of his hastiness. Peeking into the kitchen, he smiled behind his scarf at the sight of the cat.

"You know," Vanessa drawled, leaning onto the counter while giving the erasure hero a knowing grin, "You could've just asked to pet Rouge." The witch laughed at the man's disgruntled face.

Aizawa sulked as he walked forward, reaching out a hand to join his foster daughter in the cat's soft fur. Upon impact, he sighed happily, ruffling the fur behind Rouge's ear as the cat purred.

Finral rolled his eyes as he placed the fruit he had cut onto the counter, taking a piece to pop into his mouth. Vanessa joined him, the two mages watching the others coddle a cat with absolutely no remorse. Later the erasure hero would make them swear to tell no one, but let's be honest, Do the Black Bulls ever truly listen?

Arm Wrestling:

In the cafeteria, Kirishima and Asta were stretching out their arms, getting ready for a truly manly arm wrestling test.

It had been Kaminari who had brought up the idea, curious as to who would win in the contest. When Kirishima had originally denied, Sero and Ashido had relentlessly bullied him, taking shots at the teen's manliness. Of course this meant he agreed in an instant. When asked who he thought would win, Bakugou just scoffed, calling them some idiot extras.

In his head, he knew the shrimp would beat the other easily. Not that he would ever admit that.

"Alright!" Kirishima grinned, placing his right elbow onto the table. Both teens had discarded their coats, not wanting any slippage of the fabric. "You ready, Asta?"

"Of course!" The anti-magic user grinned back, placing his own arm next to the other's. "I'm not backing down, so you better be ready!"

"Guess it's time we see who the true man is!"
