#24 DUNGEON-2

[A/n: "hello readers, this chapter is mostly made of interaction and conversation between two squads, I find it pretty funny so I didn't skip it and tried to write in details so if you feel bored then feel free to skip it and wait for next chapters.]

=================================

Along with accompanying the wind there were black-haired youth and blond-haired beauty with more people.

"Who are they?" Noelle asked, completely surprised. "My friends" I said. "My rival" Yuno and Robin answer dramatically in unison

"Robin, why do you waste your energy on this useless trash. With your beauty and magic power, you could get almost anyone in the capital. Why choose someone from the Black Bulls?" An obnoxious voice came from behind. This voice... Klaus Lunettes, an arrogant noble AKA the b#tchy guy.

"Excuse me?" I squinted my eyes and growled.

"Hey! What's going on here? Who the hell is this rude four-eyes that just insulted Asta and Black Bull!" Magna glanced at Yuno. "he is my senior." Yuno replied.

"Four-eye... You are the rude one here! How dare you talk to me, a noble, with such a terrible attitude!" Klaus pompously pushed up his glasses.

"Now, now, that guy is handsome. I'm sure Robin is just infatuated with his looks. And oh my! Isn't this Noelle? How are you? The last time we met is last year during the gatherings of the royals!" This girlish voice... Mimosa Vermillion! She's so cute~!. But how dare she say that Robin is infatuated with me?! That's plain bullsh#t!

"I heard the Black Bulls is a pretty barbaric group... Are you okay with them?" Mimosa continued to ask Noelle. "I'm about to ask you the same thing, Mimosa! Will a person as clumsy as you able to stay in Golden Dawn for more than a day?" Noelle tried to make a witty comeback.

"There's no problem. Everyone in my squad is really friendly. Thanks to them, I can use the magic abilities I had right now. Speaking of which, I just remembered that Noelle can't control her magic, so have you even been improving?" Mimosa causally brushed off Noelle's witty comment. "Ah, a few days ago this little squad of mine had managed to complete a mission perfectly, we were recognized by the magic emperor and was awarded with a star!" Mimosa boasted.

"We had gained a star not too long ago as well!" Magna's eyes twinkled as he proudly puffed out his chest.

"Lies! How could he award a rookies like you from Black Bulls so easily? Also the mission that was being assigned to you was utterly disgraceful." Klaus accused as he pointed his finger at us. "That's not true!"

"We were appointed by the magic emperor himself!" Magna shouted, angry. "Again with your lies..." Klaus glared at us. "It's not a lie." I glared back.

"Say... I had heard you guys had come here as a four-man squad as well, where is the fourth guy? Don't tell me he ditch you and ran home himself. Or maybe that guy was killed by the magic trap around here? Black Bulls... Is a really disgusting squad that brought shame to the magic knights..." Klaus looked down on me as if picking a fight.

Calm down, Asta. Just remember that Klaus is a side character that doesn't really have much screentime in the manga. So just calm down and let him have his 10 seconds of fame before the readers completely forget about him.

"Alright... You bastard... We from the Black Bulls would be the first to raid this dungeon! Just you wait! White... No No... The weird-looking-mask boss squad!" Magna pointed his finger back at Klaus and shouted.

You go, Magna! Show him how stupidly savage delinquent you are!

"Did you say a weird-looking mask? OH YOU ASSHOLE!! HOW DARE YOU MOCK MY IDOL, MY ONE AND ONLY CAPTAIN VANGEANCE?!" Klaus shouted back "Speaking of which, your captain is the weirdest of all. Showing off his muscles and wearing a singlet that shows off that broad chest of his!"

"What did you say, you bastard! He's the most handsome, cool-looking guy I've ever seen!" Magna and Klaus were fighting like cats and dogs over their captains.

"Alright, you stupid maggots! I'll let you witness the difference of power between the first placing and the last placing squad" Klaus pushed up his glasses.

"Mimosa!" Klaus glanced at her. "Roger-" She smiled. 'Plant Creation Magic: Magic's Flower Guidepost.' Mimosa used her magic to create a 3-dimensional map of the dungeon. "Here- I had already understood the basic structure of this dungeon."

"Yuno!" Klaus shouted. "Yes." Yumo used his wind magic to carry the four people up. "Bye Asta See you later" Yuno waved. "Bye, Asta" Robin muttered.

"See ya-" I smiled. I was in a good mood but all of a sudden, the same annoying voice immediately destroyed it. "You guys can just stand there and admire! Hmph!" Klaus crossed his arms and sneered.

"Let's hurry up and catch up with them!" I smiled back at Noelle and Magna and ran straight. I remember that there was an opening at the top that gives us a shortcut...

"Say, what do we do now?! All of us can't use any exploring type magic!" Noelle shouted as she tried to catch up to them. "I believe in Asta! if captain Yami trusts him that much then we should do the same!" Magna said as he diligently followed my lead and burn through any magic traps that crossed out paths.

"Are you an idiot?! Why are you blinding trusting him so much?! This is his first time here too!" Noelle nagged.

"Ah, there it is! Noelle, Magna!" I pointed to an upper tunnel. Nero was pointing in the same direction as me so I must be correct! of course, I was using Haki.

"?!" Noelle was speechless and blushed at her previous words. after 4-5 Minutes into the tunnel "Shit!" Where is the goddamn exit to this? I looked around and tried.

"Kyaaa! What is this place! Gravity's all gone and all messed up!" Noelle screamed as her body floated across the tunnel. "Is it even this way, Asta?" Magna asked. "Huh?" he spotted a treasure chest that was walking upside down. "That's the treasure!" Magna chased after the treasure chest and we all fell. well not me but only two of them I just used *Geppo*.

"Dumb Magna! That thing's obviously a trap!" Noelle scolded as she rubbed her back.

"Let's open it~" Magna's eyes sparkled. "I don't think s---" Too late... They already opened it and saw the human organs that were neatly stuffed inside the chest.

"What in the blazes did you just show me, stupid!" Noelle smacked Magna's cheek. "What? It's this things fault for looking that way!" Magna blamed the chest for the grotesque scene.

"Hey guys, Nero and I found the exit! Let's quickly get out of here!" I pointed to another tunnel.
