There And Back Again [Black Clover x BNHA]

Chapter Forty-Eight

I did a poll on the server (join from my profile) and between A and B, B won... that was the Golden Dawn.

"You really went to a volcano last night?! So manly!"

"Geez, you guys had me worried! That could've ended badly!"

"As your president you have to notify me of such things-"

"Good thing I didn't go, ribbit. I would've dried right up."

Bakugou and Midoriya had been ambushed by the other students when they came down for breakfast the next morning, only avoiding it the night before due to the mage's insistence on the others retiring to bed. Now they swarmed the two, bombarding them with their thoughts and questions.

Yami snorted from where he sat on the couch, idly smoking a cigarette while Charmy tried to break it up in order to shove food on them. Eri smiled at the sight of her hero, squirming in Vanessa's hold until the witch let her down so she could run to him. Midoriya easily swept her into his arms, confirming that he was indeed whole.

The other mages were already well into the meals, having either come down earlier or snuck in quietly. It was a nice affair, the students having become more at ease in the presence of the new Black Bulls since they got along so well with their own Bulls. Overall, it was a pleasant morning.

Later that afternoon, a sudden knocking on the base's doors had everyone perking up. Yami shouted for them to get lost, only for the doors to be thrown open. The Captain muttered something along the lines of "do ya got a death wish" but was ignored by the arrivals.

"Yuno!" Asta exclaimed, bouncing over to his rival. "What're you doing here? Oh! Mimosa and Four Eyes came too!"

"Are you incapable of being quiet?" Yuno shot at the shorter mage, Bell rubbing her ears from where she perched on his shoulder.

Mimosa and Klaus walked over to the others, not wanting to become a part of whatever was about to go down between them. The U.A. students were still gathered in the living room, chatting with Noelle, Finral, and Magna. Luck was off with Bakugou, the latter giving in to the former's pleas, leaving the flame mage alone for once.

"It's good to see you!" Uraraka smiled widely, running over to embrace Mimosa. The red-head hugged her back tightly before moving to hug Asui too.

Klaus looked around, trying to find something but struggling. "Is there any reason why I can feel my mana slightly draining?"

"Now that you mention it, I can notice that too..." Mimosa chimed in, also looking around. The Bulls just waved it off.

"That's just Henry." Finral pointed to the corner of the room. Upon further inspection, Henry could be seen sitting on a loveseat, Eri in his lap as he did a complicated braid in her hair. The girl was happily chatting with the mage while Midoriya sat next to them, a notebook in his hands. "He just steals a little bit, not too much, so I wouldn't worry about it."

"Anyways, what are you here for?" Noelle butted in, arms crossed as she tried to act indifferent.

"Oh! We wanted to steal some of you away for the afternoon!" The plant mage clasped her hands together, looking at the students. "You haven't been to our base yet and Captain Vangeance gave us permission. So we're here to take you!"

"As long as it is okay, that is." Klaus fixed his glasses while subtly giving them a hopeful glance. He didn't know them well, but based on what he had heard from his wards, he knew they'd be wonderful children, ahem, um friends...
