20 Freeing Noelle (1/2)
Max felt his magic draining at a rapid pace, luckily for him he had more then enough to keep this up for more then 4 minutes. This was his trump card, his strongest spell! While this spell was in effect hardly anything was able to move. He wasn't sure that it would do much good against anyone with light magic as light was much faster then anyone here, but it was still a strong spell nonetheless.
”How should I play this?” Max asked himself as the captains attack came towards him slowly. ”Should I attack them back or should I just dodge their attack?” After some quick thoughts on the matter, attacking didnt seem like a good idea. ”Okay so just dodging will be fine.”
He moved out of the way of the two slash attacks, one made of darkness and the other was green, and the pile of green bushes that had nearly reached him. He moved to sit near the two girls, who had gotten up to try and warn Max of the incoming attacks. He pulled out the seat and sat down before releasing the spell. Time returned to normal and the spells crashed into each other, exploding on contact.
”Damn that was a pretty strong attack,” Max said as leaned back in his seat, lookong unconcerned. ”However is it wise to be attacking a guest who just happened to be walking and minding his own business.”
Numerous eyes flickered over to where he was sitting, most of them were in shock but Mimosa and Mereleona sighed in relief and returned to their seats next to him, even giving him a hug. Upon seeing this scene, the three attacking captains didnt try to unleash another attack, instead they deacticated their grimoires and approached him.
The first to approach him was Charlotte Roselei and the two women next to him tensed up, but only Max noticed this as theynwere currently hugging his arms. Charlotte Roselei was considered one of the most beautiful woman in the entire Clover Kingdom, she had many suitors and people who tried to woo her but Max knew that she usually disliked men, apart from having a crush on Yami.
”Excuse me for my hasty attack, I had no idea that you were a guest to both of these royals of the Vermilion family. I meant no disrespect even if you are a man.” Charlotte simply said before walking away. This was pretty much how Max thought the conversation between him and Charlotte would go, but he wasn't bothered much by it.
The next person to step forward was Jack, the one who loved to cut everything and anything, and loved to boast about his amount of strength. ”I apologize for trying to kill, but how about next time we go out for a challenge, you have some interesting magic.”With those words, he left and went to sit at one of the empty tables. This was also within Max's expectations, he didnt think that captains were all that sociable with anyone other then their own squad.
The last one to approach him was the infamous worst knight squad captain, Yami Sukehiro. His usual sloppy appearance and muscular look was oddly comforting to Max, and he could feel his inner geek beginning to come back as Yami walked up to him. ”That was some impressive magic there kid, what squad do you belong to?” Yami then glanced at the other two women who were sitting beside him.
”Oh, your the fire lady,” Yami said with a nonchalant voice, ”You requested to join my squad about a week ago. Well, if you answer my question then I'll be glad to accept you. Why do you want to join my squad?”
His question was directed at Mereleona but Max answered him instead. ”Actually all three of us would like to join your squad if thats okay...As you can probably tell by our necklaces.” Max lifted his up and showed him the Black Bull insignia engraved into metal.
Yami looked into Max's gold and purple eyes, as if he was searching for something. Finally, adter what seemed like a full minute, he looked away and turned around. ”In 5 months and 3 weeks the exam will start and if you impress me with your magic then of course Ill you and your girlfriends join. Just keep the mushiness to a minimum.”
”They're not my.....errrr sure thing captain Yami,” Max said, not bothering to correct him. To be honest they did feel a little like girlfriends but there was no way in hell he would ever admit such a thing out loud.
As he watched Yami walking away another captain approached but this one was different as she seemed to be asleep. He knew who this was but decided not to say anything. There wasn't much information on Dorothy, the captain of the Coral Peacocks. He didnt know ANYTHING about her, the only time she was shown anywhere, she had been sleeping. He wasnt exactly sure how to deal with her, and he wasn't sure what to say to her.
