Asta was burning with fighting spirit. It seemed this world was different from Konoha; here, the upper class despised the lower class to the point of treating them like dirt, and the lower class seemed to have grown accustomed to it, accepting the humiliation. He would definitely change this state of affairs!
"Is this really Asta?" Noelle opened her mouth in shock, watching Asta speak so eloquently. Did Asta really say those things?
"I think I'm starting to admire Mr. Asta more and more. What should I do!" Mimosa Vermillion felt the same. Klaus and Yuno were even more shaken; Klaus couldn't fathom that a commoner could speak such insightful words, while Yuno was stunned by Asta's youthful passion!
"He actually said he wants to become the Magic Emperor?" Alkradra paused slightly, as if confirming whether he had misheard.
"Don't make me laugh!" Neige Silva chuckled. The others didn't offer any opinions. For instance, the captain of the Crimson Lion King, Fuegoleon Vermillion, viewed the situation seriously, while his younger brother, Leopold Vermillion, was instantly interested in Asta for daring to stand up for himself.
As for the captain of the Azure Rose, Charlotte, and her younger sister Sol Marron, although they were at the banquet, they seemed to be outside the situation; Sol was even eating until her mouth was covered in grease.
"Water Binding Magic: Sea Serpent's Coil!" After recovering from his rage, Solid Silva took out his grimoire and immediately cast a powerful binding spell. "I'll make you pay the price! The price!"
A water spell, shaped like a sea serpent, shot into the sky and, baring its fangs, coiled toward Asta. He wanted Asta to taste the sensation of having his limbs twisted!
"demon-slayer sword!" Asta opened his five-leaf clover grimoire, drew his old companion, and with a single swing, Solid Silva's water serpent shattered!
"How is this possible!" Solid Silva watched the scene in shock. Since when was his Water Magic so fragile? He knew that even the Magic Emperor had praised his control over magic, and now, his masterpiece had been easily dismantled by Asta!
"Mist Binding Magic: Mist Spider's Binding Threads!" Neige Silva took over from Solid, immediately casting her own binding spell. A mass of white mist, concealing countless spider threads, enveloped Asta. Under normal circumstances, Asta would inevitably be bound by the threads within the mist, unable to move—and the more he struggled, the tighter they would get, eventually slicing directly into his flesh. It could be said to be a very powerful binding spell!
But the result was the same!
"Break!" Asta unleashed a wild swing of the demon-slayer sword, and the surrounding spider threads and mist vanished instantly.
"He can break this too?" Neige was dumbfounded.
"So strong…" Mimosa Vermillion exclaimed in awe. One had to realize that everyone here would likely be the elite big shots of the future, yet Asta had fought three people in a row all by himself and even held the upper hand!
"Although he can erase magic, this short attack range is nothing to fear. As long as we use instantaneous magic when dealing with him, the magic won't be dispelled!" Alkradra instantly believed he had found Asta's weakness, then flipped through his grimoire. "Sand Creation Magic: Sand Armor Sentinel!"
"Boom!" Suddenly, a ring of dust rose at Asta's feet. Immediately afterward, a giant sand soldier spread its arms and hugged Asta tightly like a mousetrap, leaving only his head exposed!
"Asta!" Noelle and Mimosa Vermillion became nervous at the same time.
"This… let's stop here…" Klaus said, trembling, trying to stop this abuse.
"Shut your mouth!" Alkradra glared at him immediately and then said, "To behave like this at such a grand occasion as the Decoration Ceremony will definitely lead to punishment!"
"What soft words are you still speaking, you person of the Golden Dawn? This arrogant guy needs to be taught a lesson with his own body!" Solid Silva stared at Asta with malice. The Water Magic around him was surging wildly; it didn't take a guess to know that this was bound to be a spell of immense power!
"Filthy rat, I'll make you know the price of a commoner pouring water on a royal's head!" A spinning water drill had already coalesced behind Solid Silva!
"This is… Brother, please stop!" Noelle realized this was one of the mage Solid's finishing moves. If this hit Asta, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"It's too late. Holy Water's Deadly Bullet!" Solid's face twisted into a deranged expression. He had already imagined the scene of Asta lying on the ground in pain, begging for forgiveness. This was how a commoner should act when encountering royalty!
