Chapter thirteen: Little Reunion

(Yes that is the video I was laughing at in the previous chapter. Bungou Stray Dogs, Dazai's Dark Era spoilers!! Season 2 and 3 I think? I don't remember.)


After a few minutes, Ginga returned to your room. "I'm back!" He opened the door himself and walked in on you trying to create the entire milky way in your room.


"Come on." Your Grimoire was closed and laid on the table in your room. You had seen in the book the captain gave you that one time that you could increase your mana by practicing tricks without your Grimoire.


Ginga walked up to you and adjusted your hands. "Close your eyes and do as I say. I'll help you out."


You looked down at the little creature. You then nodded and closed your eyes. "Sure."


"Alright. Try to use all your other senses except for your eyes. What do you see in front of you? Or rather, what are you imagining?"


It was black. You didn't see anything, and now you were supposed to see something? "Ehh. Nothing."


"You should at least try!" You could hear him sigh. "I'll block your hearing as well. Just focus on your mana." After he said that, he snapped in his fingers and soon, everything went silent.


"I- I don't hear anything anymore..." You tried to open your eyes, but you could see nothing. "And I can't see!"


"(Y/n), try to calm down, jeez." A voice echoed through your head. That was the voice of your oh-so loyal spirit. "Just focus on your own mana, then on the mana of the people around you."


You took a deep breath and did exactly what he said. The mana flowed through your body. You looked at your hands, the only thing you could see were swirl-like things. They were purple and you could see them flow through your body. "Is this my own mana?"


"Yep! That right there is the amount of mana flowing through your body, right now. It's already a lot of mana! Like, more than a noble your age." Ginga was clapping in his hands. You didn't hear it but you could feel it.


"Anyways, if you want to increase that, you need to train more. Now, focus on your surroundings. There are people around you, I can assure that. Focus on their mana." The little spirit instructed you.


You nodded once and did as he said. Your focus was now on your surroundings. There was an enormous amount of green mana in the room next to you. That must be Yuno. There was also a lot of blue-ish mana coming from someone who was currently at your door. "Ah! Klaus-senpai is at the door!"


Right after you said that, Ginga snapped in his fingers again, giving you your hearing and sight back. Then you heard knocking on the door. "I'm coming in." He did exactly as he said, he came in your room.


"Klaus-senpai! What if I was undressing huh?" You yelled at him. Klaus just pushed his glasses back on his nose and ignored you.


"We have a mission."


"Already?!"


"Yes, you, Yuno and Mimosa were chosen by the Wizard King himself. There's a dungeon near the Diamond Kingdom. We need to get there first." He then turned around and walked away. "I'll see you soon." Klaus closed the door behind you.


Ginga sighed. "At least he learned how to close doors. You could use what you learned today in the dungeon! Let's go!" He was as cheery as ever.


"Alright mister Cheery." You took your Grimoire of the table and put in its holder. "Let's go!" You opened a portal and walked through it.


When you came out of it on the other side, you saw Klaus, Mimosa and Yuno. "Hello, I've arrived."


Klaus sighed. "You're late."


"Late?! You called me a few seconds ago!"


He handed you all a broom. "Let's go."  Klaus sat down on his broom and flew away. Mimosa you and Yuno followed soon after.


You, Mimosa and Yuno held your own little conversation. "(Y/n), isn't it exciting to go on a mission again?"


"It is! But it's so soon already." You sighed.


"Do you feel annoyed by it?" She asked you.


Yuno answered in your place: "Yes, (Y/n), gets annoyed by everything."


You glared at him. "You jerk! That's not true at all!"


"See? She's annoyed." Yuno then flew away.


"I'll throw him off his broom." You mumbled under your breath.


Mimosa giggled. "It's fine and it looks like we've arrived." She pointed down at a destroyed building. You could already feel a lot of mana coming from it.


"We're going to land." Klaus announced. You all flew down and landed. "This is it. We need to reach the treasure room before the Diamond Kingdom. Understood?"


"Yes sir!" You four said in unison and entered the dungeon.


It was a small and extremely dark path. You could feel more mana flow through your body due to the darkness. A stone was glowing in the darkness, Klaus pushed it.


The stone fell down, so did a whole wall and it revealed the dungeon. It was beautiful, water was flowing everywhere and the paths crossed each other.


"There are traps here. Watch out." Klaus said as he walked into the dungeon.


"This is like a source of mana. It's insane!" You walked around in awe. Suddenly you heard some screaming. You ran up to the source, only to see Asta and another girl stuck in some kind of trap. A huge man-eating flower was about to devour them.


A sharp knife made out of wind hit the flower. Then a storm of wind-blades came down on the flower. Asta and the girl fell down, into a portal you made, safely on the ground.


Yuno and you looked down from above at the two with your Grimoires opened. "Now.. I've repaid my debt."


"Yuno! Don't speak for yourself! Anyways, hey Asta!" You waved and smiled at Asta.


"Yuno! (Y/n)!"


The both of you went down to Asta and the other Black Bulls girl. You had noticed she was from the Black Bulls because of her robe. Klaus, Mimosa and Ginga followed right behind you and Yuno.


"Yuno, (Y/n), why did you bother saving them?" Klaus asked. Of course it was Klaus.


You frowned a little, then pointed at Asta. "That's Asta... our childhood friend. We couldn't just let him die. As for her.." You were now pointing at the Black Bulls girl. "I don't know why Yuno saved her but she fell, so I caught her as well."


The girl seemed slightly offended by what you just said. "Hey! Watch your mouth, I'm a royal you know!"


Klaus completely ignored you two and continued his own little conversation. "Our mission is to get as quickly as possible to the dungeon hidden deep down. We have no time to waste on these fools."


Asta got mad. "Hey Yuno, (Y/n). What's the deal with this rude four-eyed dude?!" He yelled. Yes, Asta yelled again.


"He's our senior." Yuno and you said in unison.


Klaus took Asta by his robe and lifted him up. "Four—! You're the rude one! I'm a four... er! I'm a nobleman! How dare you address me so casually?!"


You awkwardly coughed. "Asta, be careful with him. He ignored me for the entire mission because I didn't add a 'senpai' behind his name."


"Good day Noelle." Mimosa waved at the Black Bulls girl, who was apparently named Noelle. "I don't think I've seen you since the royal banquet last year."


Asta got released by Klaus. "You know her?" He asked the so-called Noelle.


Noelle answered with: "Yes... Somewhat."


"I'm Noelle's cousin."


That statement made you choke. "Mimosa.. You never told me about your cousin being in the Black Bu- oh! Noelle Silva! That's you! What's a royal doing in the Black Bulls?" You asked curiously.


"That's none of your business! Anyways, you're here too." Noelle's attention was back with Mimosa.


"I've heard the Black Bulls are a very barbaric squad. Have you been faring well?"


"Hmpf! And are you doing okay, Mimosa?"


"Huh?"


"I'm not sure someone as dense as you can make it in the Golden Dawn."


"Yes! Everyone is so kind! Especially (Y/n)! We've been good friends."


You awkwardly smiled at Noelle. "Hello, my name is (Y/n). Nice to meet you too, Noelle Silva."


"As if I'd remember the name of a peasant.." Noelle then looks away. It left you rather confused.


Mimosa walked up to Noelle. "If I remember correctly, you weren't able to control your magic at all. Have things improved since then?"


"I-I've been working on it."


A smirk covered your face. "Oh~? A royal that can't control her magic? And you dare to insult me for being a peasant? Oh please, status doesn't matter. Klaus even acknowledged Yuno, and all he cares about is status."


Noelle flipped her hair. "Tch. We even received a star from the Wizard King."


Klaus almost wanted to scold you when Ginga stopped him from doing that and started to argue with Klaus instead.


"The four of u-" Mimosa received a quick glare from Ginga. "Er, I mean five of us received one as well."


Asta pointed at Ginga, who was now floating around your head again. "What's that?!"


Ginga flew up to Asta and basically scared the bird away. "I. Am. Not. A. What! I'm Ginga! I'm a spirit!"


Noelle narrowed her eyes and looked at Ginga. "A spirit? I haven't heard of a spirit named Ginga yet."


This time you stepped in. You crossed your arms and an annoyed look covered your face. "That's because my magic attribute is rare. It's obvious you don't know about it."


After that, Noelle and you had a stare competition. Of course, you won but only because Noelle got startles when Klaus began to speak. "Come to think of it, I heard there'd be three of you."


You crossed your arms again and looked up at Klaus. "Klaus-senpai, you never told me they would be here."


"That's because you were late."


"I wasn't late! I was just preoccupied."


"That means late."


"No it doesn't! Besides, you called me late!"


"I was busy."


"That means late!"


"No it doesn't, now shut up. It's your senior you're yelling at. Know your place."


"Ugh. Fine. Only because I didn't know a comeback."


Klaus crossed his arms and nodded at you, he clearly wanted something. "Hmm?"


"What? Oh." You looked at Klaus with the most stoic expression you possibly could make and continued. "Klaus-senpai."


"Anyways, where's the other one?" Klaus asked the two Black Bulls. "Don't tell me they left you two and ran. Or did they fall prey to one of the traps? Hah!"


Noelle was the one that answered. "He didn't run away, nor did he fall pray to any of the traps."


"Then where is he?"


Asta nor Noelle answered so a little awkward silence followed.


"Regardless, it's clear you lot consists of filth that leaves new recruits behind. The Black Bulls... How unsightly. You're an embarrassment to the Magic Knights."


Ginga stepped -or rather flew- in and stopped Klaus. "Hey! Four-eyes! Shouldn't we be on our way? I don't know, just saying we can't waste time. Why don't we show them who's the better squad, huh? What do you say?"


Klaus took a deep breath and pushed his glasses up. "Alright. Black Bulls, let's see who can get to the treasure hall first! Mimosa!"


"Sure." Mimosa opened her Grimoire and performed a spell. "Plant Creation Magic: Magic Flower Guidepost." A flower came from the ground and formed a map of the dungeon. "Let's see... Ah, got it. I've learned the basic layout of the dungeon."


"Way to go Mimosa!" You cheered her on.


"Very well. Yuno!"


"Right." Even Yuno opened his Grimoire. In a mere second, a wind arc appeared under you all and carried everyone.


You sighed and waved at Asta. "Bye! Asta! Noelle-san!" You five soon got carried away by Yuno's arc, leaving Noelle and Asta alone.


This can't go well
