There And Back Again [Black Clover x BNHA]

Chapter Forty-Five

Sorry for the wait, online college classes finished this past Monday for me. :3

Two days later and the Star Festival had finally arrived.

During the previous days, the students had been trying to settle into this new world, becoming adjusted to the way things worked. Iida had been the only one to complain about falling behind on work, but the others managed to convince him this was like their internships in a way... he still muttered occasionally about it.

Charmy and Bakugou had gotten into a fist fight on the first day after the baths. The woman had been happily cooking with her sheep when the blond walked in, making an offhand comment about the blandness of her dish after trying a taste when offered. Cotton magic had immediately swallowed the boy whole, explosions soon after tearing it apart. Everyone stood back and watched as the two argued and swung at one another, unable to come to a conclusion about how food was best seasoned. It was decided that each would make a dish and share with the other, both being forced to accept the other's cooking abilities. From there on out, the two would work together, creating a range of dishes.

Midoriya had been brought to visit Julius on the second day, the Wizard King wanting to talk with him further on his theories and share knowledge. When Marx came to remind them that they had yet to eat, the poor aide left in a hurry, the muttering and intelligence overwhelming. Food was thrown at them (literally) later on, although neither noticed.

Kirishima had been taking the time to work out with Asta, easily transitioning to the latter's regime. Luck and Magna would occasionally join, the lightning user constantly challenging the red-head to fights. Other than that the two worked on building their raw strength.

Asui had surprisingly bonded with Gauche over his little sister Marie, telling him about her own younger siblings. She wasn't fazed by his infatuation. The mage had appreciated her love for her own brother and sister (not even remotely in the same way he held his own). The two could be found lounging on the couch working on little crafts, currently focusing on woodworking.

Uraraka trained with Noelle, both girls having to overcome issues within themselves to use their powers. Due to the gravity girl's nausea, she normally held her breath for long durations of time. Noelle helped her train with her water magic and in return objects were floated for the mage to practice hitting. Unknowingly, both bonded over their similar mindsets (and secret crushes).

Eri mainly stuck with Vanessa and Finral, playing with them when they were not needed. She would also join her Deku on occasion, but otherwise was always glued to the mage's sides.

When the day of the Festival came around, the students were pumped to experience such an event first hand. They were also super excited to meet the two guests that the Black Bulls were bringing as well from the Underwater Temple.

"Whoa, I can't believe that blood magic you had stored restored them!" Kirishima exclaimed, eyes wide as he saw Kiato begin to dance around while Kahono sung a little tune.

Asta grinned. "They deserved to be healed after everything they went through. And the Queen of Witches owed me after what she did."

"Ooh! I wonder what kinds of cool things there will be to see!" Uraraka flitted around the group, trying to see everything that there was to offer in the area.

"Hey boys, wanna come test your strength in some games?" Magna drawled, stretching his arms out. Bakugou rolled his eyes.

"Like you could even win against me, you delinquent."

"What did you call me?!"

"Haha! Let's head over to the booths!" Luck ran away, Magna and Bakugou followed behind glaring at one another while Kirishima trailed.
