Minerva ▪︎▪︎▪︎ Black Clover

Chapter 14: Dungeon (Part 6)

Afterwards, Minerva eyed Klaus' steel restriction magic with doubt, knowing that it won't hold her former student for long. She then put her attention to Asta and Klaus, annoyed at their constant bickering.

"WE WERE THE ONES WHO REACHED THIS PLACE FIRST AND WON THE FIGHT!" Klaus shouted only to get interrupted by Minerva.

"Lies. I'm the one who was here first, making the Black Bull's first." Minerva snickered at the frustrated noble.

"HOWEVER," Klaus choose to ignore that. "WE WILL ALLOW YOU TO ENTER THE TREASURE AS A SPECIAL CASE!"

"WHO DIED AND MADE YOU KING OF THE WORLD, SPECTACLES!? YEAH, YOU HAVE MY UNTOLD SINCEREST GRATITUDES FROM THE VERY BOTTOM OF MY HEART, DUMBA—!!!OUCH!" Asta put his hands to his head in pain before looking at the annoyed Minerva. "MINERVA, THAT HURTS!!"

"Shut up." Just one glare from Minerva was enough to silence him. "Let's go." She commanded them as they walked to where the gigantic gate.

How do we enter, actually... Both Klaus and Asta thought, dumbfounded.

Minerva fought the urge to facepalm, seeing their confusion. "It's made of magic, you morons." She explained before grabbing Asta by the collar and put him in front of the gate. "Asta, slice it down." She ordered and Asta did it without complain, knowing that he'll ended up hurt if he didn't obey her.

Tobirama scoffed. What a control freak.

Minerva gained an irk-mark before smirking smugly. You do know that implies to you too, baka-rama.

Tobirama gained an irk-mark in annoyance before turning away from her. Tch.

He is not a control freak.

Nope, he's not.

Hashirama sweat-dropped at his younger brother's denial. Yeah, right...

"I did it!!" Asta cheered, looking at wood-Minerva for a non-existing praise, only to see pieces of woods in her place. "Eh?"

"Yo." They turned around to see the real-Minerva waving at them inside the treasure room while pausing on whatever she was doing. "Took you guys long enough~." Asta and the others gapped at her before looking around to see a LOT of treasures, relics, and golds.

"How are you here?" Yuno couldn't help but asked, confused.

"Wood Cloning Magic." Minerva answered before continuing her research. Where is it? Minerva thought, looking around the room. She was getting annoyed at how long she had been searching. Come on. She closed her eyes, letting her senses take over.

She opened her eyes. There! Before she could even go to where she sensed her beloved, a sudden source of power distracted her as she looked at where Yuno was, and saw some weird-looking scroll. Her eyes slightly widened when she figured out what that scroll was, but didn't do anything as green light covered the area.

Hn. Looks like the Sylph of Wind have chosen Yuno, lucky as always. Minerva thought, eyeing Yuno's grimoire as it glowed.

Madara...

Minerva froze, hearing her forbidden name. That's right, I cannot let myself get distracted. She thought, steeling her heart and eyes grow in determination. She walked away from the others and went to where she sensed her beloved.

Beloved? Hashirama questioned, frowning in jealousy, but Minerva remained oblivious to it and choose to ignore him. For now.

What are you even searching, Uchiha? Tobirama asked, scowling.

It's certainly none of your damn business, Senju. Minerva snarled at the white haired Senju, who gained a tick-mark.

Is it money? Sake? Tsunade guessed.

I'm not you, you damn woman! Minerva felt enraged at the thought of her becoming someone like Tsunade, a gambling-maniac/drunkard.

Hmm, could it be something very important to you, Lady Uchiha? Minato asked, and Minerva couldn't find herself to be mad to this man.

Something like that. She said, continuing her research.

Hashirama was still frowning, but he was wondering on what kind of beloved that captured The Madara Uchiha's attention. It wouldn't be a person, cause there's no way. He thought, thinking very hard until smokes came out of his ears, brain dead.

"Ah, there it is." She said, touching the wall before suddenly disappearing. Next thing she knew is that she was falling down before her instinct came over, flipping at midair to change her stance and landed gracefully on the ground.

She looked around her and she couldn't sense any life forms, but she can definitely feel thousands of people watching her. It was very dark, and the only light source that she have is the torches on the wall.

Minerva felt her hair rise as she barely able to dodge something. She looked up and saw a gigantic arm before looking back to where she used to stand only to see a very huge deep hole. If I was an ordinary person, I would have died. She thought and for once she's glad that her father trained her until she couldn't even move a finger when she was 3 or something, but she won't admit that. Nope. At least he did something useful for once in his life.

"HOW DARE YOU COME IN HERE, YOU LOWLY ANT!!!! I WILL SHOW YOU THE WRATH OF HADES!!!" A booming and loud voice filled with arrogance and authority shouted at Minerva, who stared at him with a bored expression. Is this guy seriously have the gall to shout at me like that? She thought, slightly pissed off.

"Lowly ant?" Minerva repeated before suddenly laughing. However, Hades couldn't help but shivered in fear as he listened to the mocking and cold laughter of this human. "My, my, someone ought to teach you some manners, God of the Underworld." She said, her voice growing colder and colder by the second. "Allow me to teach you."

Minerva disappeared in a blink of an eye. Hades turned around to block an incoming punch from Minerva. He then threw her somewhere rather harshly and he was about to finish her off, but Hades coughed up in blood as he looked down only to see his heart wasn't even there.

Hades froze and slowly looked at Minerva's hand, and there goes his heart. "YOU—!!!" Hades had enough and darkness suddenly enveloped the two of them. Minerva opened her eyes, but froze when she saw her dead younger brothers instead of her opponent.

"Daisuke, Ayato, and..." Minerva's breath hitched as she stared at her last brother in disbelief and longing.

"Izuna..."

Izuna gave his older sister his smile. "Hello, sister."
