Perhaps because Asta and Noelle were going on a long trip, today's breakfast was exceptionally grand.
"Hey, hey, Asta, your muscles are getting firmer and firmer. When are we going to fight again?" Luck poked Asta's explosive arm, his eyes full of envy. "With muscles this powerful, you could probably kill me with one punch, right?"
"Uh..." Asta looked at Luck's bizarre logic speechlessly, though one of his punches really could kill Luck.
"Luck, can't you be normal for once? Stop thinking about fighting Asta all day!" Noelle said as she elegantly took a bite of whole-wheat toast.
"Is Noelle already starting to defend Asta?" Luck asked with a seemingly innocent look.
"You! You! You! What nonsense are you talking about!" Noelle's face immediately turned red.
"Hehe..." Vanessa covered her mouth and chuckled. She felt that since Asta and Noelle joined the Black Bulls, the atmosphere of the entire squad had become much more lively. As they say, they really are like family now!
"Don't talk about such boring topics. Do you think my goddess of a sister would like to hear this? Talk about interesting things! I only have 3,214 interesting stories left in my stock!" The siscon gentleman Gauche said, planning ahead.
"Over 3,000 stories... it would take forever to tell them all to your sister!" Finral, the old lecher, complained.
*Bang!* While everyone was enjoying their meal, Yami kicked open the dining hall door and walked in. Yawning, he said, "After you finish breakfast, go back to sleep!"
"Good morning, Captain!" Charmy had been startled at first, but she immediately smiled upon seeing it was Yami.
"Good morning, Captain Yami!" Magna stood up straight and saluted.
"Oh, keep eating!" Yami took a puff of his cigarette and sat in his seat. He then looked at Asta and said, "Hey kid, next time you have a unique training method, remember to give me a heads-up. If someone else sees it, they'll think I'm abusing you!"
"Sorry for the trouble!" Asta said politely while stuffing food into his mouth.
"Eat slowly, you'll choke!" Noelle held a cup of water, looking worried.
"Thanks!" Asta took the cup and downed it in one go.
"Really, just wolfing it down..." Noelle said helplessly.
"He has to replenish his nutrients, after all!" Vanessa said after getting a bit tipsy from drinking.
"Not bad, not bad! Everyone's eating style is very bold, and the Sheep Chef are very happy too!" Charmy cheered from the side.
"By the way, the Magic Knights Headquarters wants to hear your report on the Magic Palace raid from last week today. Head over there after breakfast," Yami said, looking at Asta and Noelle.
"Magic Knights Headquarters? Can I go find someone to spar with?" Luck's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this; it felt like a gathering of the strong!
"I feel like Luck would cause trouble, so you're not allowed to go," Yami rejected Luck instantly.
"Aw..." Luck's face immediately fell. After all, he was the leader of last week's Magic Palace mission, even though Asta was the one who contributed the most...
"However, I've assigned a combat mission to you. Go with Magna!" Yami seemed to have known Luck would be disappointed, so he had already prepared other arrangements.
'He really cares about everyone and looks out for each person, yet he insists on acting like a tyrant. It seems Yami is also a problem boy!' Asta thought to himself as he looked at the considerate Yami.
"Great! Another combat mission! Let's work hard together, Magna!" Luck was instantly revived. He ran over with full energy to shake Magna's hand, but his enthusiastic appearance gave Magna a fright.
"This sissy look is disgusting. Are you really Luck? You're not Grey in disguise, are you?" Magna said with disgust.
*Phew...* Grey, who was standing like a guardian deity nearby, let out a long puff of air upon hearing this. Was she really that lacking in presence? She had transformed into such a large person!
"Grey, you are not alone..." Gordon said with tears streaming down his face.
"Ah... so there was another one here?" Grey couldn't help but look down at Gordon.
"..." Gordon instantly understood Grey's look. In the end, he was the only one bearing everything; even Grey hadn't noticed him, o(╥﹏╥)o!
"Me, me, me! Captain Yami, since Luck isn't suitable, let me take them!" Charmy volunteered. At this moment, she could already see the delicacies of the Neige Kingdom waving at her!
"You can't go either. All you know is eating!" Yami said helplessly.
"What?!!!" Charmy was instantly struck as if by lightning and ran out crying. However, as Asta listened to the crying, why did it sound a bit like she was laughing?
"Captain, I have to write a letter to Marie. I'm busy and can't go!" The siscon gentleman Gauche said with a furrowed brow.
