32 Out Of Control

Working on his magic, Madara was out utilizing two elements at once. He noted that that exercise would help him increase his control more. He also noticed that he could add one element to another.

If he used water and fire magic as one, it would create steam. If he used more fire than water, it would make hotter steam that could melt skin.

He got this idea from the fight with Julius. When he sent fireball then waterfall to create steam took too long. He needed something faster and stronger.

Madaras' train of thought was interrupted by a large ball of water crashing into him. He knew this was Noelle trying to control her magic. All of a sudden, Madara got an idea as an evil grin appeared on his face.

Madara quickly founded Asta in the bushes with the anti-bird watching Noelle fail miserably trying to hit the target. Madara petted the anti-bird then turned to Asta.

"Asta, in due time, let me use your anti-magic sword," Madara said as the anti-bird stared at Madara.

Madara then petted the bird again, but this time, the bird bit him. Madara then got close to the bird and whispered, "That hurt, Nero."

Before the bird could react, Madara vanished from where he once was. He was not standing a few meters behind Noelle. When she turned around, she had a scared and embarrassed look on her face.

"H-How long have you..." Noelle said shocked thinking back about what her siblings and other royals said to her.

"N." Noelle said backing up a bit.

Noelle then put her hands out and started to form a water spell. But she was devoured by her spell. In the giant dome of water, Noelle was going to drown if someone didn't stop it. Madara could care less, but it would mess up his plans.

Madara then vanished to where the rest of them were. They were all watching, as Noelle was slowly drowning. Then, Asta came flying.

"Asta, do you remember what I told you earlier? Do it now!" Madara said as he flew toward the water dome.

Asta drew his sword from his grimoire, as he planted his feet. His muscles popped out, as he turned and threw the word toward Madara. Feeling something coming toward him, Madara stretched out his and grabbed the handle of the sword.

In a spinning motion, Madara slices through the water dome, nullifying the magic. Madara could feel the magic being drained out of him, but he had a lot of reserves so he wasn't worried.

Grabbing Noelle, he created swirls of wind to slowly descend him. Everyone rushed as Madara dropped Noelle on the ground. Everyone had a look of shock for a moment then they congratulated him. Madara gave Asta back his sword.

Noelle reminiscing about what her family and Madara said, she thought they were going to mock her. Instead, Madara held out his hand and helped her up.

"That was pretty impressive," Madara said shocking Noelle.

"Huh?" She said confused.

"If you train to get control over your magic, you'll be pretty powerful," Madara said causing Noelle to blush.

"Really? You just couldn't control your magical powers? You should've told me earlier. you royal failure." Magna said coldly causing Noelle to flinch.

"We're the black bulls. We're a whole group of failures!" Magna said with a smile as her robe began to descend around her neck.

'We?' Madara thought listening to Magnas' speech.

"No one cares if you have a flaw or two, you idiot," Magna said.

"Anyway, thank goodness you're safe. By the way, I know a great pasta place. Want to go sometime?" Finral said.

'Aren't you 21?' Madara thought as he heard Finral.

"Before that, you should try this. 'Kay?" Charmy said handing Noelle a muffin.

"That was amazing. If anything, the one thing I'm great at is controlling magical powers, so I'll help you out. I'll show you some womanly techniques, too." Vanessa said as she winked at Noelle.

"I'll tell you how much of an angel my little sister Marie is," Gauche said

"Let's be friends," Gordan said in a whisper.

After the incident, Madara helped Asta clean. It was much faster with his wood clones. When Asta saw him make lines of himself, eyes turned into stars, as he praised Madara.

When they were in the mess happy eating, Asta tried to convince Noelle to help them clean. She kept refusing because she was royalty.

"Noelle, why don't you help us clean?" Asta asked taking a bite of his food.

"Because I am royalty. I have never cleaned or done laundry in my life." Noelle said in a haughty tone.

"I'll teach you," Madara said in a calm cold tone taking a bite of his food.

"I don't need you to teach me because I'm not doing something a maid should do," Noelle said with a revolting voice.

"Alright then. let's get you a maid outfit, then you can clean, that sound good?" Madara said staring at Noelle.

Saying this, made Noelle blush and wave her arms frantically. "WHAAAT?! NO! ILL HELP YOU CLEAN!" Noelle said with her beet red from the idea.

"What do you say, Asta?" Madara said completely ignoring Noelle.

"That does sound nice," Asta said causing Noelle to go white in the face

"ASTA! YOU IDIOT!" Noelle yelled as she slapped Asta.

"I'll remember that too," Madara said as Yami came kicked through the doors.

Yami called for Magna for a mission. Asta asked to go, but Magna said it was a man's job. All three of them went down to feed the beasts'. Noelle feeds one of them, trying to show she could do something.

When Asta tried to feed one, it almost tore off his top half, but Asta was able to remove its jaws from his body. When they were finished, the three of them heard talking and footsteps.

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

When they looked behind them, Madara closed his eyes, as Magna and Yami approached them.

"That old man actually had a straight royal flush!" Yami said to the laughing Magna.

"We were no match for Old Man Seyhe!" Magna said to the laughing Yami.

"Oh, Stupidsta, Lady Noe, and Madara, you have your first mission as Magic Knights," Magna said surprising both Noelle and Asta.

-------

-In The Living Room-

"And so, we're giving you your first mission," Magna said loudly.

"Our first mission..." Asta said

"As Magic Knights." Noelle continued.

"Wh-What is it?" Asta exclaimed.

"It had better be something worthy of me as a royal," Noelle said.

"Well said by the one who can't control their magic," Madara chipped in making Noelle grit her teeth.

"You'll be hunting wild boars in Saussy Village! Feel honored!" Magna said.

"Wild..." Asta said with Noelle finishing his sentence.

"...boars?" Noelle said.

They then went on to explain how they lost against the old man. He needed the wild boars handled since no one in the village could do it. The way he won this was by beating them in a game of poker.

"Hi, question! That has nothing to us!" Asta said loudly making Madara smirk.

"You idiots! You're asking Mister Yami to clean up his own mistakes?!" Magna shouted.

"Exactly what we're saying," Madara said getting a headache from all the yelling.

"We're the one who cleans up Mister Yami's mistakes!" Magna said irritating Madara.

'He's the Captain, yes. But his logic sickening,' Madara thought to himself as Yami got up and glared at them.

Unfazed by his glare, Yami said, "Are you to go, or are you going to die? Which will it be?" Yami said as his glare intensified.

-----

"Not happening," Finral said.

"What do you mean, you jerk?" Magna asked shocked by Finrals answer.

"Well, I can only go to faraway places I can't see if I marked them will my magical powers. Meaning I can't go places I've never been before." Finral said with a hand in Magna's face. Before he walked off, he winked at Noelle.

"You're so useless!" Guess don't have a choice. We'll go by broomstick." Magna said with irritation in his voice.

"Magna, sir!" Asta said as he raised his arm.

"What?" Magna asked.

"I can't fly on a broomstick," Asta said with confidence.

"I can't either..." Noelle said with shame in her voice.

"You are both useless," Madara causing them to grit their teeth.

"Not everyone can fly, you know!" Asta shouted at Madara.

"Well, I guess we're going to have to ride my baby," Magna said as he opens the closet to present a broomstick with a skull on it.

"Well take my broom Crazy Cyclone!" Magna said taking a nice look at his 'baby'.

-------

Since neither of them could fly on a broom, Madara had to let one of them fly on a broom with him. Magna suggested that he take Noelle, but that offer was declined, instead, he chose Asta.

"So this what it's like to ride on one of these!" Asta said with stars in his eyes.

'Who does he think he is?! Declining to ride with royalty!' Noelle thought angrily as she watched Asta sit where she wanted to be.

"Madara, you have some nice muscles!" Asta said as he felt the firm hard feeling of Madaras' shoulders.

'Ahhh! that should've been me! WHAT?! WHAT AM I SAYING?!' Noelle thought to her as her face was beet red.

Every since Madara saved Noelle from her own spell, she warmed up a bit to him. Even if she tried to deny it, she knew she felt something for him. Seeing him reject her made her question herself.

Did he save her put of his own will, or did Yami tell him to do so? Madara was using the same technique he used Sister Lily and she was falling right into his trap.

Seeing that, Madara only smirked because his plan was coming together nicely.
