"First, we need to introduce ourselves and our magics." Klaus said while pushing up his glasses and looking towards the people beside him "Im Klaus Lunettes, a nobleman and a member of the prestigious golden dawn squad and a user of steel magic." He pushed up his glasses in pride, before looking at the mimosa , who did a fake cough

"Hello!" Mimosa gave a kind smile "Im Mimosa Vermillon, a royal and I'm a user of plant magic!"

"Im yuno, a peasent and a user of wind magic."

"Soooooo hot.." Veronica said beside him, causing him to giggle and whisper "Want me to 3rd wheel?"

"Shut up."

"Im Noelle, a user of water magic and a royal!" She whipped her ponytail around with a prideful expression

"She cants control her mana though, so watch out." Mimosa gave a truthful but hurtful statement that caused Noelle to freeze and point towards Asta "He cant even use magic!"

Mimosa gave a giggle before looking at Asta

"What do you use in combat?"

"Anti-magic!" Asta screamed

"Does he ever shut up?" Veronica said, watching as the boy was screaming every time a word came out of his mouth

"Nope."

Klaus eyes fell upon the duo who were idly chatting in the corner and asked

"Who are you both?"

"Im Zakai, a commoner and a user of Permanent copy magic." Zakai watched as Klaus expression dropped once more

"Peasants" He clicked his tongue, his glance at me a lot colder "What magic do you use?"

"Uh..." Zakai tried his best to remember all of them "Tracking magic, wind magic, fire magic, ice magic, spatial magic, paper magic, rock magic and uhhhhhhhhh" Zakai did a thoughtful expression "i think that's all...."

Klaus nodded, before looking at the woman beside Zalak

"And you are?"

"Veronica, a peasant and a user of shadow magic." Veronica made sure to put emphasis on peasant as she looked towards the angry expression of Klaus with a teasing expression

Zakai looked towards Asta, who was still screaming "Isnt there supposed to be 3 of you?"

"He probably was too weak and fell to the traps or got lost." Klaus give a disdainful look before looking at asta's clothing "After all, he is a member of the black bulls, how much is there to expect of him?"

"Quite a lot actually" Zakai gave a shrug, causing Klaus to shrivel

"Enough." Yuno said "We need to go the treasury fast, we need to make a game plan"

Klaus pushed up his glasses for the 50th time and said

"I want to take Zakai with us, and veronica should go with Asta's group."

"Hey, no fair!" Veronica pouted, before sighing "FINEEEEE" she depressingly made her way over to the screaming boy and tsundere princess

"Come on," Klaus said, before looking at Yuno and nodded

Yuno replied with a nod and cast a large tornado to appear and carry them away, but Zakai jumped off and sprouted his own paper wings as he followed them

"What kind of spatial magic do you use?"

"I can teleport long distances to places I've been and I can do a combat-related one," Zakai said to Klaus who was asking questions to scout his strength

they flew down the long corridor for 5 minutes

"We nearly there," Mimosa said, analyzing the Map she made using her plant creation magic

`

unbeknownst to the squad, somebody was following them from behind

----------

After going through the long stretch that was the hallway, they found themselves looking at a massive gate that had symbols the top part looked like a sun that was split in 2 by the gap of the door

All of them landed as they looked towards the large door

"How are we meant to get through?"

"We push it, idiot," Klaus said, rebutting Mimosa

"It appears that the black bulls aren't here yet" Mimosa ignored him as she looked around

Sensing a strong mana source rapidly approaching, Zakai opened his Grimoire and shot a powerful blast of wind magic as Mimosa, watching as Strong crystal's appeared in the place that she was standing before

"Mimosa!" Klaus shouted , looking as she got herself up

"Who stands in my way?"

Boots could be heard as a man-made passageway of crystals as he looked towards us with no emotion in his eyes

the man was a young man of average height with a slim figure, pale skin, and well-defined muscle tone. He has short, light purple hair with a spiky hairstyle and a lock falling down at the middle of his forehead.

something that was noticeable was the Several gems implanted invisible parts of his body, such as his head and belly button

the bow in his soul shook, greedy for them

Everybody pulled out their grimoire as he looked towards us

"How troublesome." He said, "Move."

he didn't stop, as the clacking of his boots resounded around the large room

the crest of the diamond kindgom was displayed on his black fur coat, which was revealing

"You diamond Scum!" Klaus shouted, "I'll show you the power of the golden dawn squad!"

Klaus shot steel bullets at The man who swiped up, causing crystals to erupt from the ground and block the steel bullets with ease

"He's not even using his grimoire!"

while that was happening, Zakai was examining the stones implanted on the man's body. it seemed like the stones were giving him an increase to his mana amount and giving a multiplier to his magic, so Zakai clicked his tongue

"We need to get into the treasury." Klaus said, "Before this monster does."

"I'll go." Zakai said, "You hold him off while ill defends it!"

Opening the door, Zakai was showed was the true meaning of a treasury of a dungeon was about. countless gold items and magical tools were on display, but Zakai needed to be cautious for trap magic and other things

looking around the room, he wondered if the grimoire had any fuel

"What treasures are the most important?"

The grimoire flew up and led him towards a scroll and a dagger

the grimoire flew to the page and seemed to absorb it, but spat it out again

looking for a change, he saw the things were inputted into the grimoire but the writing was on there

"I....copied...it" The grimoire said "Absorb....the...magic....and....contract....a...spirit....you...r.e.quire..a...s..a.c...r..i..fi..c..e"

The book opened and showing words that he could understand

"Absorb the magic huh?"

Zakai let the book absorb the mana in the atmosphere and made it condense into a ball like the Grimoire asked him too and read the lyrics

He didn't know what a single thing the grimoire was on about , but it sounds interesting

"Your self is under me, my fate is in your magic.

In accordance with the approach of the mother of magic, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer.

Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the living, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the living.

You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――!"

a burst of thick mana surrounded the room, in which a childish giggle arose from the room

"A hybrid, how interesting." a calm and mellow voice resounded in the room, alongside a relaxing fragrance of spring "I, Dryad and protector of Elysia, shall not give you a spirit, but a blessing"

The Ball of mana absorbed the mana in the atmosphere and became a bullet, shooting at Zalak

instead of feeling pain, he felt perfectly calm

he felt the mana spread along his back and solidly, leaving what to appears to be a long flower with a heavy black outline that appears on his back

"What is that?" Zakai tried to put mana into it but was blocked by it

sighing Zakai picked up the dagger that the Grimoire picked for him

it wasn't anything special at the naked eye, but the grimoire once more said

"Absorb.....its....magic"

shoving it into the book, Zakai watched as a new page instantly filled up

"Transmutation magic....." Zakai looked at the page "Ive never heard of that, how peculiar"

picking up a crown on the floor, Zakai chanted

"[Transmutation magic: Trace]!"

A large amount of mana seeped from him, but was replenished by the mana in the air via the new tattoo he got on his back

"It absorbed the mana from the air!"
