The Anti-Mage Sin of Pride

IV : First Mission

Confidence. Asta was the embodiment of confidence. The second he turned around the look in his eyes was different. He WAS different.

Luck was beginning to twitch. He was practically shaking with excitement. Before he could move Charmy cut in.

"Luck don't attack him. He isn't the same person we just ate with." Charmy said. "I think his personality has changed slightly."

"What? I can take him. Let's fight!" Luck yelled. He immediately threw on his lightning armor.

"Bahaha" Asta boisterously laughed. "Pardon me. I feel sick when I am looked down at by someone smaller than me."

"Luck stand down." Yami ordered. "Asta are you planning to go training? You might want to take your sword." He said pointing to the Anti-Magic sword.

"I do not need it" Asta replied closing the Anti-Magic Grimoire. "I will be training my magic now. I will return later this evening." Turning round he pointed his fingers to the ground. "Sunshine Magic: Cruel Sun" suddenly a miniature sun appeared. The heat generated from it made everyone step back. Trees began to catch on fire all around them. Standing on top of the sun Asta lifted his fingers into the air. Shooting up in to the sky he headed to a remote location to train.

Yami decided he would need to have a chat with Julius immediately. He pulled Finral over to go to the capital.

"Vanessa catch Noelle up on everything we learned this morning." With that, Yami was gone.

———— Later that Evening————

Asta came walking back. He was drained. Mentally and physically. Sunshine magic was wonderful. He could sense almost every creature. It was like he has been blind his whole life. Magic is wonderful. It made him wish he was born with magic instead of being blessed later. 'I can't change that. I will become the Wizard king. Magic or no magic.' He shook his head. No sense dwelling on the negatives.

As he neared the base he noticed the fires still burning in the woods. Smoke filled his lungs. Most of them seemed to have been put out. Everything left was contained. 'They must have been putting these fires out all day.' He made a note to thank and apologize to everyone. 'Why is this sword so heavy?' He cried mentally.

Reaching the door to the headquarters he pushed it open. All of the sound inside stopped. Everyone looked towards the door.

Asta fell forward. Noelle caught him and set him on the couch. He seemed back to himself now that the sun was down. She needed to thank him for saving her.

"Well now with that settled" said Magna getitng the young magic knights attention. Noelle looked embarrassed realizing multiple people caught her staring at Asta. "You felt worried that you couldn't control your own magic right? Well you are perfect for this squad, we are the Black Bulls! We are all a bunch of mess ups" he said as the black bulls robe Noelle toessed away yesterday was put back on by Vanessa's magic.

"If your having trouble with magic I can give you a few tips, including with how do well on a date" said Vanessa smiling.

"I'll tell you all about my angelic little sister Marie" said Gauche.

"You got to try some of this first" said Charmy holding up a cupcake. Three more in her other hand not offered to anyone.

"Yes! we should spar sometime too" said Luck.

Meanwhile Gordon muttered and Grey blew smoke out.

Finral thought of suggesting a place to go out but decided she may already have someone in mind if her staring was any indication.
