Banquet

As they were about to exit the royal castle, they met Julius who asked seriously, "so, what's going on here? I heard that you attacked the King and the guards and everyone was injured". Shuichi waved his hand, "Nah, that isn't what happened. When we just asked the king about it, He was just enraged and ordered his guards to attack us.

I just immobilized a few of them and convinced the king to step down peacefully, you know". Julius looked towards Lemiel and he nodded, "yeah. I can understand his situation. First of all, who will believe that a dead man from five centuries will come back alive.

Not to mention, to be asked to step down by a captain, even if it were you in Shuichi's place, The king would still get angry". Julius asked, "so, how did you convinced him?".

Shuichi replied, "I made him realize, no matter what he does, he won't get popular than the Magic Emperor and those who were nobles and royalty getting more respect than the king himself as most of it was always snatched by you.

Once he realized that, he himself made the decision". Meanwhile, at the banquet, where the magic knights who were awarded as well as others were having drinks. Asta was eating like there's no tomorrow although he was used to eating such classy food at their base.

As the magic knights who were also nobles began to mumbled loudly enough to hear him with various insults, Asta didn't mind their words and continued his eating shamelessly which further angered them.

As magic knights from Golden began to scold Klaus for associating with a commoner like non-magic born like Asta, Solid Silva stepped forward and spoke in a mocking tone, "Now, now. The most useless fool here is you. Wouldn't you agree, Noelle?".

He poured the drink on her head while surprising everyone, She turned back while he said, "You can't even control your magic. You are just an embarrassment". Nebra Silva then said, "You've basically been exiled from the Silva family.

I'm surprised that you have the nerve to stay in the noble realm at Purple orca. You should have just stayed at commoner's area at Black Bulls just as Eldest Brother Nozel ordered you".

As Noelle was feeling shocked and bad when being insulted by her siblings in public, Nozel Silva stepped forward and said, "You got a big head from one big achievement. You already made me lose my face by making me request that foreigner to unseal your mana.

Did you come here intending to disgrace the Silva name once again?. You don't belong here. Begone, the failure that killed our mother". Noelle upon hearing his harsh words got shocked and disappointedly turned back to go out, just then, a hand caught her. "Asta?".

Asta jumped on one of the tables and looked down at them in anger, "I thought you'd be all amazing since you were called here, but you are no different from the rest of them. Calling us peasants, rats, failures, embarrassments...who cares if you think we're worthy or not? Just you watch. I'm going to..."

Suddenly someone attacked him with sand magic "that's enough you peasant.." before he completes his sentence, the sand was cut off and nullified by Asta's Anti-magic sword. He roared, "I'm going to become Magic Emperor and shut all your mouths".

As the room became silent, Solid Silva and Nebra Silva laughed and attacked him "Water Binding magic: Sea serpent coils" a water serpent formed and moved towards Asta and Nebra attacked him with, "Mist Binding Magic: Mist Spider's threads". As the mist began to cover him but was erased by his Ant magic sword once again.

But just then, A golden dawn member created a sand golem and captured him quick, Solid laughed, "you Golden Dawn became soft?. Anyone that self-confident needs to be taught a lesson so that they can never talk back again". He began to form a water spear "Holy water bullet". Asta immediately took out the other sword he got from the dungeon and deflected the attack.

Solid became angry, "I won't hold back anymore". But just then, they felt a huge pressure Asta and Yuno felt, "this power, Silver Eagle's captain?". Solid looked back, "Nozel?". Nozel then coldly spoke, "Solid, don't be so quick to use all of your magic on a mere peasant and humiliate our family name".

He looked at Asta, "A peasant that foolishly tried to defy royalty...How shall I punish you?". Just then, a voice spoke coldly in the room, "who the hell are you to punish my squad member?". A spatial tear appeared beside Asta and Shuichi stepped into the room.

He looked at the pressure emitting inside the room, he spoke, "begone". the pressure inside the room completely disappeared surprising everyone. While seeing him, Nozel's face turned dark. Shuichi changed his eyes to Rinnegan and an invisible force pushed Nozel and made him crashed onto the wall.

As everyone shocked, Shuichi looked at Solid and Nebre "A senior magic Knight and an intermediate magic knights attacking a single commoner who just became a junior magic knights. Isn't it more of a disgrace to you, who born in royalty.

Insulting your own sister in the public, you three are the ones who are disgracing the Silva name. And for attacking my squad members without any reason, you have to punished accordingly". As Nozel stood up, he saw Shuichi summoning his Grimoire, He raised his hand, "magic seal". A magic circle appeared below the two of them and they felt like they lost their connection with mana.

Nozel got angry and roared, "Shuichi, how dare you". His grimoire started to glow and when he was about to attack, Shuichi looked at him, "earlier, you showed them your pitiful might, right.

Now, I guess I should remind you as well as show these fools here, what happens when you messed with my squad". Shuichi released his mana and exerted pressure on everyone while nullifying Asta and Noelle.

Nozel who was about to spell wasn't able to withstand the pressure, kneeled along with Fuegoleon and Charlotte who was the captain of Blue Rose. Meanwhile, everyone else got suffocated and fainted right away.

He stared at the three captains as he released the pressure shocking Asta and Noelle, "listen, very well. Consider it as a final warning. I usually don't care about my squad member's affairs.

That's why I didn't involve even when your two brothers and that guy with sand magic attacked Asta. but it's a completely different case if a captain gets involved in simple matters like this.

And since you already got me involved, tell your squad members to not dare insult my squad members based on their origin". The he turned to Nozel, "One month. Your siblings will not be able to use magic for the next month. that is the punishment for their actions.

Before I go, I want to ask something to the three of you. If the so-called royalty by birth is so high as you think, that even talking back makes you want to teach him a lesson, then how come Magic Emperor was highly raised and gets respected by people rather than the King himself? Think for a while about it".

Then, His grimoire glowed once again, "magic seal". "Restore". He sealed the sand magic user's mana from Golden dawn and restored everyone who fainted and disappeared while leaving Asta and Noelle stunned.

He teleported to Magic Emperor's office as Julius and Lemiel were talking. Shuichi looked at them and apologized, "sorry for disappearing all of a sudden, need to take care of something". Julius asked, "who made you so angry that you needed to exert that much pressure on him?".

Shuichi waved his hand, "it's a small matter".
