Landing in the forest, Asta landed near a wild boar. The boar chased Asta at incredible speed for its size. Madara knew they shouldn't be wasting time with the boars, so he made quickly words of them with his blade.
"Not bad for a rookie," Magna said as he picked up the boar's dead body.
"Here. Care this." Madara said as placed a boar atop of Noelle. Since she wasn't carrying anything, Madara decided she should carry for not doing anything.
Noelle was severely struggling to carry the boar. Her arms were burning and her legs were shaking violently. It reminded Madara of someone.
As they were walking, they saw a thick cloud of most surrounding the town. Magna got worried seeing the mist around his hometown. He got a bad feeling sensing the mist.
"This place has some bad weather," Asta said as he dripped the boar's he was carrying.
"It's magic dummy," Noelle said mocking Asta after hearing him.
"A magic mist?" Asta said looking at the mist.
"Once we enter it, we probably won't be able to get anywhere. We'll lose our sense of direction and end up wandering around the mist." Noelle said.
Madras grimoire then shot open, as a handle wrapped in bandages stuck out. Madara pulled out the fan, then twisted his body, as he swung the fan. The force from the fan cause to produce a powerful wind current, clearing all the mist in the area.
"Eh?!" They all yelled at the same time seeing how his weapon was so powerful. They knew Madara was just but for him to have such a powerful weapon made fear grow inside of them.
When the mist cleared, the villagers of Saussy Village were all handled up. Some were praying, some were crying, some looked like they lost all hope.
Seeing how many sharp icicles were floating above them, Madara wasted no time, as he disappeared. He reappeared in the middle of the crowd, as he swung his fan, shattering all the icicles.
"Fire Magic: Explosive Scattershot!" Magna yelled as his fire dispersed into many balls of fire. The fireballs melted the falling pieces of the icicles.
The explosion created another thick mist that Madara got rid of. Somewhere near, someone with gray hair gritted their teeth.
"The Magic Knight..." A dirty blonde haired boy said with tears in his eyes.
"They've come to save us!" A red-haired colored girl said with tears in her eyes holding a doll.
While the villager was not happy someone ad come to save them. When the man looked at his watch, Madara lowered his guard. The only was confused about his actions but didn't question him.
"Your execution will be in ten seconds." The man with the scar on his face said after looking at his watch.
He then opened his grimoire and summoned a large ice ball with a sharp edge. He shot it toward them. The villages ducked for cover while Magna looked troubled.
With the ice ball incoming, Asta ran up, and slices through the ice ball with ease. Surprising the villagers because they hadn't expected someone to be capable of that. They thought they were going to die but were saved by a kid with gray hair and another with long black hair with a tint of blue.
"How could you do something so cruel? Who the heck are you guys?!" Asta yelled to the man with the scar the three people with blue robes.
'Hmm? Why haven't they said anything?' The man with the scar thought taking a glance at the robed men.
"Dealing with them would be a waste of time. Five minutes... We'll get rid of the useless villagers that didn't know anything and seek what we came here for." The scarred man said speaking to the three men behind him.
Asta rushed toward them, as the one behind him did nothing. The scarred man became highly suspicious of their actions.
"Kill him!" The scarred man commanded. He waited a few seconds but none of them did a thing.
"Tch!" The man said as he summoned many icicles. Asta destroyed and repelled them causing the man to figure out his power.
He then summoned more icicles and shot them toward anyone he saw. Asta was using his sword to destroy the magic, Magna though low on mana, still threw some fire spells. Madara coated his sword with fire and sliced through every icicle coming toward him and the villagers.
Seeing how the man was harming the villagers right in front of her, she wanted to do something to help.
"Step back, lady Noelle!" Magna said seeing how she was getting in the way.
"Madara! over here!"
"Asta! Magna needs help!"
There's no reason for me being here.'
"Noelle! If you're not going to do anything, step back!" Madara shouted.
While Noelle was lost in thought thinking about how useless she was, a little girl tugged on her clothes.
"Huh?" Noelle said looking at the girl who was bruised and crying.
"Miss Magic Knight, please save us!" The little girl said with fear in her voice and tears in her eyes.
'This little girl is asking for my help. I'm going to protect them!' Noelle said to herself as a bright blue grimoire appeared in front of her. With the newly written pages, she crouched down and slammed her hands onto the ground.
Slamming her hands into the ground activated her new spell. With a burst of magic power, a large dome of water made of multiple whirlpools, which covered the villagers and the Black Bulls'.
"I am going to protect them because I am royalty and I'm a member of the Black Bulls'. Noelle said with a confident look on her face.
While the scarred man was distracted, Madara came out of the dome and stuck his hand inside his stomach. When he pulled out his hand, he pulled out a magic item and crushed it.
Asta then came from above slamming his sword onto his shoulder. The force made a crater around him, as he coughed up blood and passed out.
When he looked to the men with the robes, he saw that their necks had been punctured. The men in the robes fell to the ground, as blood began to spill from those necks.
When the man woke up, Magna told him that he was going to bring him back to the capital. If this had ever happened, he had the magic item to kill himself, but somehow Madara removed that from him.
He had a defeated look because he knew he couldn't do anything. Madara then knocked him out again, shit in case he tried something.
-----
The sun was setting there sat a dirty blonde haired boy grieving over the old man's deaths. Magna came to say some words along with Asta and Noelle. Madara didn't care, but he put in his two cents.
When the boy had cheered up, everything was interrupted by Asta screaming from an anti-bird pecking him. Madara then looked at Nero and she flew over to him and landed on his head.
"Look at that. It's perfect for it. Because Madaras has hair that looks like a nest." Asta said receiving a glare from Madara.
"What's this stone?" Madara asked the blonde-haired boy.
"Oh, that's the charm that my grandpa had." The boy said.
"Hey, that's really important!" Asta said as he started playing tug of war with the bird.
"You can have it. Apparently, that bird really likes it." The said while laughing.
Nero then dropped the stone into Madaras' hands. Madara put the stone in his pocket, then petted Nero.
