Chapter 18: Finally!

A/N: Relatively short chapter compared to others.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

To distract himself and make time go quicker, Suzaku opened the shop and pressed on the 'RESPAWN TOKEN'.

[Purchase 'RESPAWN TOKEN' - 100,000 Points? Y/N]

He pressed Y and now has an extra life, which is always good.

[Points: 300,500 -> 200,500] 'Shame to lose 100,000 in the blink of an eye, but it's worth it in the long run, and for safety'

"Now then, let's let the distinguished service ceremony... begin" Julius announced as he called out the names of many knights and their new ranks:

Leopold Vermillion, the younger brother of Fuegoleon, achieved 7 stars and was granted the title of second class intermediate magic knight.

Sol Marron, a blue rose knight, earned 6 stars and was granted the title of third class intermediate magic knight.

Nebra Silva, sister of Nozel and the other Silva's, earned 9 stars and was granted the title of third class senior magic knight.

Solid Silva, the brother of Nozel and the other Silva's, earned 6 stars and was granted the title of third class intermediate magic knight.

"Alecdora Sandler of the Golden Daw-" Julius was about to announce the rank up of the next person, until Suzaku was disrupted with a system notification which bought undoubted joy.

[You have successfully spent 30 minutes with Julius Novachrono. The Talent "Copy Magic (One-Time)" has been activated successfully, congratulations on getting Time Magic!]

[Remarks: Julius Novachrono's Time Magic is used to manipulate time. He can accelerate, decelerate, stop, or even reverse the flow of time. He is also able to "heal" injuries by reversing the time on his and other people's wounds, and many more things.]

[Remarks: Like other magic users, Julius Novachrono can only use his time magic to the fullest with the use of a grimoire. But with the ability obtained through the Talent "Copy Magic (One-Time)", this weakness will no longer be necessary as the user may use Time Magic freely without the need of a grimoire. Furthermore, user will not become a devil host]

'A devil host...?' Suzaku read the last bit with slight suspicion as he looked up at Julius.

'What the-' Suzaku was shocked to see Julius have his eyes widened in shock as he looked directly at Suzaku.

- Julius PoV - (A/N: This part may be slight AU, as obviously I'm not gonna remember exactly everything)

I was presenting the award ceremony for the marvellous achievements that the magic knights have accomplished, when suddenly I felt my whole body hurt as I grasped my chest.

'What the...!' I felt something wanting to... take control, it seemed like... But I managed to prevent it from happening by force.

'Suzaku...'

- ??? PoV -

Damn it... I can't let this boy ruin my future plans!

That boy, Suzaku... how come I've never seen him in any timelines except for this one!? And... why can't I see a single future for this timeline!? Everything is a blur... nothing is clear...

Why and how has he gotten our time magic!?

I need to get control back for this body, and then I'll deal with the anomaly!

- Back to the ceremony -

"Wizard King!" The captains and vice captains panicked as they witnessed Julius start to breathe heavily.

"My bad... just got a bit too excited, I guess..." Julius waved the help away as he composed himself back to normal.

'Now THAT was fucking weird' Suzaku thought as he kept glancing at Julius every few seconds.

The rest of the ceremony was then completed:

Alecdora Sandler, Golden Dawn member, earned 11 stars and has been granted the title of second class Senior Magic Knight

Shiren Tium, Golden Dawn member, earned 8 stars and has been granted the title of first class Intermediate Magic Knight.

Hamon Caseus, also a Golden Dawn member, earned 7 stars and has been granted the title of second class Intermediate Magic Knight.

'Damn, that's not a bad amount of potential points... a few 1000s' Suzaku thought.

"Well done, all of you!" Julius began after finishing the ceremony, "All right. We've got a simple reception set up, so I hope you'll enjoy yourselves" He then proceeded to look towards Suzaku, Asta, and the rest

"Oh, I almost forgot. We have some special guests with us today" His words bought everybody's attentions onto the group of 6, "Make sure you get to know each other real well!"

Julius then pushed himself up off of his chair and proceeded to leave the room as he needed to do something, "Something came up, and I have to excuse myself. Have fun!" He waved.

"Hrgh..." Klaus sighed as he held a cup of wine, "We're being watched, and not in a good way... why'd the Wizard King have to entertain us like this" He complained in a mumble as he stood beside Yuno.

"Oh well..." Suzaku walked beside Klaus with a plate in hand that had a massive pile of meat, "At least the food is good" He said as he stuffed his face.

"..." Klaus looked at Suzaku like he was a freak of nature, "ASTA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? EAT WITH SOME MANNERS!" Klaus shouted as he looked over Suzaku's shoulder to see Asta stuffing his face messily and leaving a mess on the table and floor.

"Hmph... vulgar peasants" Alecdora said loud enough for everybody in the room to hear. This caused a chain of reaction as the other nobles in the room began to gang up on the 'peasants' as they started talking about their way of eating and Asta's magicless self.

"Oi, if you're gonna talk shit about someone, at least be a man about it and say it to their face... bastards" Suzaku stated as he took a large bite out of a steamy steak.

"...What did you say?" Suzaku turned his head to the left to see Alecdora of the Golden Dawns slowly walking up to him, "Care to repeat that?" Alecdora attempted to threaten as he looked up at the smug Suzaku.

"I said say it to my face, dipshit. Did your oh-so-noble ears not catch that? Or should I shove it down your ears with some nice lightning to teach you a lesson" Suzaku asked, which triggered Alecdora as he opened his grimoire.

"You peasant bastard... let's see you talk big after you deal with thi-" Alecdora was about to activate a spell when he got sent flying back a few meters suddenly.

"That's it? I expected better from a 'Senior Magic Knight'" Suzaku smirked as he had his palm held out in front of him
