chapter 6: Luck vs Rowan part 1

Magna stepped forward and crossed his arms. He stared at Asta and Rowan with a stern gaze and said, "You are new Black Bulls? A wussy little runt from the end of nowhere and a white-haired pretty boy? Rowan, I know you've Power full and all, but if you want to wear our robe... You gotta earn some respect from me, Captain Yami's top underlying men, Magna Swing!"

"GIMME, PLEASE!" Asta shouted, looking up at Magna with determination in his eyes.

Magna stepped back and extended his arm towards Asta and Rowan. "I see, I get it. You want it that bad, huh? In that case... You joined the Black Bulls, so.... Come get baptized." Magna said, with a smirk on his face.

Both Rowan and Asta followed Magna outside with the rest of the Black Bulls.

When they finally arrived outside of the Black Bulls' headquarters, they were standing on a field. Magna then said, "I'm going to launch a magical attack at both of you. Block it or avoid it any way you want. Do that, and you two can become Black Bulls....and you'll get these robes. Runt, you're up first!"

"YES, SIR!"

Asta had prepared himself for Magna's attack.

"Magna shouted."[Flame Magic: Exploding Fireball]!" As the fireball flew toward Asta, he hit the fireball head-on with the flat side of his sword. The force of the impact was so strong that Magna's fireball was reflected back and hit him straight on, causing an explosion.

Magna came out of the explosion, and Asta expected a punishment, but instead, Magna shouted, "You little runt.... I was this close to getting offed by my own magic..... You...COMPLETELY ROCKED!"

Huh?

"You didn't just block my magic. You sent it right back! How 'bout that! I like you, Shortsta!" Magna said with a grin on his face.

"It's Asta!" Asta shouted, and Magna smacked his back.

Magna pointed at Rowan and said, "Your turn, Whitey." Rowan stepped forward and created a blade of ice in his hand.

But suddenly, he was stopped by a voice. "Magna, let me fight Rowan, please!" Luck stepped forward.

Magna paused for a second and said, "Very well, then go ahead.

Luck cracked his knuckles and said, "Yay, now we can fight!"

Rowan couldn't help but also want to fight as a smirk appeared on his face. He had been training for the past 6 months and was eager to test out the new spells he had learned.

"Ready?" Rowan asked with a determined look in his eyes, as he prepared to face Luck.

"I'm always ready for this," Luck replied with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

Luck and Rowan both nodded and assumed their fighting stances. The Black Bulls silently watched and waited for the battle to begin.

Luck opened up his own grimoire and shouted, "I'm starting now!" A powerful surge of mana emanated from his grimoire and he unleashed a powerful spell.

Rowan opened his grimoire with a smile and shouted, "Let the show begin then!" A powerful surge of mana surrounded him.

Luck shouted "[Lightning Creation Magic: Thunder God's Boots]!" and powerful lightning bolts shot out from his grimoire, striking the ground and creating a powerful shockwave.

Rowan was unfazed by the attack and countered with his own spell. He shouted "[Ice Creation Magic: Blizzard of Blades]!" and created a powerful gust of icy wind that surrounded him. The two mana forces collided and created an explosion of energy that blasted the area, sending shockwaves throughout the room. The Black Bulls watched as the battle between Luck and Rowan raged on, their mana forces clashing in an epic display of power.

Rowan's body glowed with a blue light and two ice blades appeared in his hands. He then spread out his arms and more blades appeared behind him as he enhanced his physical power with magic.

Both boys charged towards each other, their powerful mana forces surging ahead. Luck's lightning-covered boots clashed with Rowan's ice blade, and a loud clang echoed throughout the room. Sparks flew as the two boys pushed back and forth, neither one giving in.

Boom

Both boys leapt forward and collided in close combat. They clashed their weapons together, sparks flying as their mana forces collided in an epic battle.

Vanessa jumped to her feet, shouting, "What the hell?! It's too cold here, I'm freezing!"

"Go wear some clothes then!" the Black Bulls shouted in unison.

Perched atop the Black Bulls headquarters, a bird watched both Asta's and Rowan's matches with a gleam in its beady eyes. It seemed to be intently observing each and every move they made, its head darting from side to side as it followed the action.

Luck laughed gleefully as he and Rowan continued their battle. "AHAHAHAHAHA, This is so much fun!" he shouted as he parried an attack from Rowan.

"Oh, it's far from over," Rowan said with a smirk. He pointed his ice blade towards the sky and shouted, "Let's end this with a bang! [Ice Creation Magic: Prismatic Ice Storm]!" His grimoire glowed and a powerful surge of mana shot out from it, creating a massive storm of ice shards that engulfed the room.

Bang

Luck had managed to move faster than Rowan could react and before he could react, Luck had already struck him. With a loud crack, Rowan was sent flying across the room.

Luck quickly closed the gap between them, using his lightning-covered boots to propel himself forward. As Rowan sent Blade and shards of Ice toward Luck, he managed to halt his momentum by stabbing his ice blade into the ground. Unfortunately, Luck was not about to give him a break. He swiftly dodged the ice shards and charged towards Rowan, his lightning-covered boots leaving a trail of sparks in his wake.

Luck's face didn't falter for a moment as he pulled his leg back toward Rowan's face and swung it forward with a powerful punch, aiming straight for Rowan's face. The impact of the attack was so strong that Rowan was sent skidding backwards, crashing into the wall behind him. Luck took advantage of the opportunity and closed the gap between them.

"Heh, [Ice creation magic: Ice Dragon]!" Casting his spell, Rowan grinned as he made an ice dragon as big as an elephant and with many blades and shards. He sent it flying towards Luck's direction, the blades and shards reflecting the light of the room as they glinted dangerously.

Luck was Blown back by Rowan's attack, channeling his mana in his heels dug into the ground to slow his backwards momentum and he finally came to a halt. He looked down at his half burished body and couldn't help but laugh. "That's really amazing Let's make it more amazing, [Lightning Creation Magic: Thunder God's Gloves]."

Luck's hands were enveloped in a golden lightning, each of his fingers slowly crackling with electricity. Instantly, two lightning gauntlets with a bright blue glow appeared on Luck's hands. He spread his hands, his palms facing each other and then clapped them together. A loud thunderclap filled the room and a huge wave of lightning shot out of his hands. Luck countered with a wave of lightning that enveloped the ice blades and shards, melting them in an instant and creating a brilliant light show.

"Here I come!"

With that he immediately dashed forward with a fierce speed, throwing his fists up at Rowan.

Bang

Boom!

Rowan was pushed back by the flurry of lightning-charged punches and he desperately tried to retaliate with another attack, but Luck had already anticipated this and quickly countered with an uppercut that lifted him off his feet. Rowan was sent flying, crashing into the wall behind him with a loud thud. He staggered to his feet, barely able to stand up straight. Despite the pain, he managed to raise his head and look at Luck with a determined expression.

'Dammit, he's too fast!' Rowan thought, shaking off the attack. He threw himself into the fight, but quickly realized that he couldn't keep up with Luck's speed. And to make matters even worse, he also realized that his own speed was very low. He gritted his teeth and redoubled his efforts, determined to find a way to take down his opponent.

Bang

Bang

Bang

Finral watched the intense battle between Rowan and Luck with a critical eye. He could see that Rowan was struggling to keep up with Luck's speed and power, and the result was obvious: Rowan was at his limit.

"That brat.... He's about to surpass his limit." Yami said grabbing everyone's attention as he watched Rowan desperately trying to keep up with Luck.

"I will never fall! Damn it!" Rowan yelled, his eyes flashing with determination.

Bang

He focused all his energy into his legs, building up a huge amount of energy and mana within them.

Bang

Bang

Luck's eyes widened in shock as he felt a powerful mana and energy radiating from Rowan. He quickly jumped back and put up a defensive stance, as he felt the immense power of Rowan. In a split second, Rowan released a powerful wave of mana and energy, which pushed Luck a step back.

Magna's eyes widened in surprise as he sensed the immense power emanating from Rowan. He could see the grimoire beside him glowing and pulsating with energy, and he knew that Rowan had activated some sort of power-up. "What the hell...?" he muttered in awe as he watched the intense battle unfold.

"What's going on..." Despite his inability to sense mana, Asta could feel the intense power radiating from Rowan. He watched in awe as Rowan unleashed a powerful wave of mana and energy, pushing Luck back.

Clenching his fists he muttered, "I have to work harder!"

Feeling an excited thrill run through his body, as his grimoire opened in front of him and revealed a new page.

And as it did Rowan's eyes and body glowed and shimmered with bright blue light as he harnessed the immense power of his newly unlocked spell.

With a loud yell, Rowan shouted, "[Ice Magic: Ice God's Thundering Foot]!"
