Hikaru POV
From down in the living quarters I hear the rest of the black bulls screaming and talking. I giggle to myself. "Wow what a lively bunch."
A week has gone by with every moment I could see Noelle practicing her spell.
Now tomorrow is the final day where Noelle will show her spell and take us down to the underwater temple. I stand out on the porch and watch her practicing with Asta and a girl. I soon spot other members walking and making their way to her. I hum to myself.
I soon see a huge water ball that contains a lot of mana. I see the black bull members screaming at Noelle. I smirk and continue watching.
A blast of magic erupts and the magic is under control. "My my Noelle, it seems you had it all along." I say to myself and walk back into my room.
The next night finally came where we stood on the beach shore.
Noelle took out her grimoire and casted her spell "Water creation magic: Sea dragons cradle."
Her water magic enclosed and was holding us inside. But with a small issue...Grey is making everybody cramped. "Hey Grey can you like turn into someone smaller?" Asta says.
'Poof' and Grey turned into Charmy. I look at Noelle and walk over to her with Yami.
Yami pats her head "Good job, now you just got to take us down to underwater temple." Yami complements her. I then put my hand on her shoulder and say "You did well, keep up the good work."
Noelle nods her head "Got it. Leave it to me." With that she takes us deeper into the ocean passing a school of fish. As we get closer to the underwater temple the mana gets stronger. Soon Noelle points out a water tornado.
As we pass through the magic water tornados we get jumbled and tossed around in the water barrier. The others are screaming and panicking. We flow with the current drawing us closer and closer to a light.
We now enter a calm part of the ocean, where colorful fish swim around and colorful coral. Soon we notice a magic barrier, a water barrier enclosing an area. Yami then points at Asta "Well Asta now its your turn. GO out there and give it a big swing."
Asta replys with "Well you know Yami, this is my first time to the beach and you know what I learned since coming here...I can't swim." He then turns around and scratches his head sheepishly. I then sweatdrop, 'What's with that face Asta?'
Yami then picks up Asta "Well then you don't need to swim." Yami then casts some balck magic onto his hand and chucks Asta out of the magic bubble and Asta cuts through and makes a hole for us to enter. "Thanks kid" Yami says as we land and walk around.
In the back I hear Magna yell "SO GLAD WE DIDN'T DIE!" I chuckle and walk with Yami. The rest of the black bulls catch up and we all stare at the underwater temple. "Charmy whip us up some cotton." I hear Yami say holding up a cupcake for Charmy.
She quickly casts a cotton and floats us over to the underwater temple. We land and start walking around looking at strange stone buildings which may be houses. We continue to walk around and search for people.
Soon we find two people. "Look people!" "Oh ocean folk!""Shhh they'll hear you."
The girl with blue hair turns around and states "Wow look over there!" Then the dude with her exclaims "Hey! Look real live people!" Vanessa waves at them saying "Yeah I think they heard you."
Soon enough people start coming out from out of no where and surrounds us with smiling and excited faces. They start commenting "Wow look outsiders, look at their robes. From the looks of it their magic knight!." Then a girl comments "A pretty good looking ones too."
They all crowd us and each ask their questions "Tell us about the outside world? What is it like?"
Yami walks over to a group of people and turns a little dark, as Vanessa starts asking about the stone while showing off her body. The men around stare at her with a slight blush, and look at me as well. I sigh.
I hear Yami "Can you tell me where I can find you boss around here? Kay?" he asks not in the politest way and I hear Asta commenting about that as well. A guy speaks up "Well that would be that high priest who's up at the temple all the way up the stairs. Kay?"
Then another guy speaks up "If you don't mind that walk up there. Kay?" then another person chips in. "I can take you there if you want. Kay?"
I sweatdrop along with Asta. We start walking our way up the stairs with me walking with Yami as he drags Charmy with him, Grey picking up girls as Gordon, Fineral flirting with girls, Gauche looks at his sister, Asta and Noelle talking.
"Well Here we are." Yami says, the door in front of us opens. We enter and walk inside, the citizens call out "We'll talk more of the outside world when you come back!" "Tell the high priest hi for us!" They say.
I see Asta turn around and thank them, they smile and say "Well don't thank us quite yet." This caught my attention and my face turns stern. I look up at Yami and bump my arm into him grabbing his attention. We share a look and nod our heads.
We continue walking down in the temple to see an old man standing there, his white hair standing up. Asta shouts "Hey! Are you the priest?"
"Huh" I hear as we turn around and see a large fish drooling. Noelle and Asta scream like little girls. The fish comes down and Luck, Magna, and Gauche attack it with their magic. "That'll do it. What was that thing anyway." the three of them say at the same time. I chuckle.
Soon another voice comes and this person walks towards is laughing. "Ah this is wonderful! It's been a while since we had outside visitors!" the old man says. "I'm the high priest of this underwater structure" he says while doing a pose. We all look at him with blank stares. Then Magna speaks up "Wait this old geezer is the one in charge here?"
"That wasn't the best welcoming show, you old geezer." Yami retorts. the old man starts laughing again. Charmy walks over to the large fish looking like she was about to eat it but it poofs up and disperses. The black bulls question his magic.
The old man laughs once again and smiles at us. "You came here to find the magic stone didn't you? If you want it then you will have to play a game with me first." He says playfully. I raise my brow and the rest of the members question him.
"What kind of game are we talking about here?" Asta asks.
We all look expectantly on what he's gonna say "Well lets find out, the name of this game is called Lets find out how squishy your boobs are!" He chuckles again, while moving his fingers and hands in a gross manner. I have an irk mark on my face and Noelle punches his and stomps all over him.
"How about we play this game instead." Noelle says and I make my way over. "Yes, now what game shall we play Noelle?" I smile at her.
Asta sweatdrops and says "You can't be kicking and torture the high priest!" She stops and he gets up "Oh it was just a joke" he says with a goofy smile on his face with a blood running down from his nose.
I crack my knuckles. "Well we don't think it's funny at all. Let's show you how unfunny we really think it is." As I pull out my grimoire and Noelle casts a water ball in her hand.
Magna cuts through "Um hey we didn't come all the way here to play some games. But how did you know that we wanted the magic stone?"
The old man says something in which I ignore and look over to see three of our guys huddling and making a plan to hurt the old geezer. While the other three talk about some random stuff not caring about hurting the old man. Asta yells at them
The old man starts talking and bribing "Well if you play the game with me I'll round up the prettiest ladies, best drinks, and best gourmet food." I could just see their ears perk up. I sigh out. "shall we play?" The three consisting of Vanessa, Fineral, and Charmy sparkle in excitement "Yeah lets do it!" Asta yells some more which makes my head hurt, Yami kicks Asta. "Well it looks like we have no choice. If you want to play so bad than take on this massive gambler. So what game is it gonna be."
Im the background Magna yells supporting and encouraging Yami. 'Ugh. Seriously.' I think to myself.
"Woohoo!! A real Brawl!! A battle royale" The old man shouts while doing a little dance. He then cats a spell "Temple Mages come on down!" More doors from above open up and 9 people hop down "Yes you summoned us high temple priest." They all wear a sea creature mask.
The black bulls talk and question them. "All right than shall we get started! Are you ready!! Let's gooo!" the man yells. Sending water shooting out of the ground as Asta yells once more.
I'm sweeped up by the current and taken down further into the temple. 'Testing, testing. Can you all hear me? As you have noticed you all have been separated apart and scattered arounf the temple. You will engage in battle and have to defeat so many of our temples guardians to win. You will be going against a 9 on 9 battle. You may have any fight you want whether it is a one on one or you hide, however you like. Just keep out a look for trap spells." I hear the old geezers voice.
I sigh out "9 on 9, there's 11 of us though." I say out loud. The old man's voice voices again. "The buff man with spiky hair is watching this unfold with me as for the girl without the robe, you will be considered as the boss. If our guardians can defeat you then your team loses and won't get the stone. But otherwise you can't attack back unless they attack first. If you fail to follow these rules your out."
I wave my hand around "Yeah sure old man. But I warn you if they come after me, there is no guarantee that they will be unscathed." I get up and start walking around the temple looking for the members of black bull.
