Ryu wakes up still feeling a bit stiff after the fight and goes to the eating area for breakfast
Asta: WHAT? I seriously slept for a whole week
Ryu: that you did I slept for about three days
Vanessa: oh come on little bro you know that's a regular occurrence for you
Ryu: yeah I know that sis but I usually choose to sleep that long this time I didn't
Noelle: seriously must everything be so dramatic with you two
Ryu: says the one that checked in on asta about what was it 10 times
Vanessa: no that was just when you where awake it was more like 20
Ryu: damn even better 😂
Noelle: I don't know what your talking about I wasn't worried I was just wondering what would happen if you didn't wake up
Finral: hate to tell you this but that's being worried
Ryu: yup
They fist bump
Asta: checking up on me huh thanks Noelle
Magna: conquering a dungeon and getting a major wound to the gut really takes it out of a guy
Gauche talks about his sister
Ryu: seriously man you need to calm down
Gauche: no way
Luck talks to asta
Luck: so how are you is your stomach wound all healed up now ready to take me on can we fight
Charmy: Hey guys breakfast is ready
Ryu: oh yeah about time
Then Yami crashes his way into the room
Yami: time to grab some chow then it's back to bed
Charmy: oh hey captain Yami good morning
Ryu: morning Yami
Yami: so kid your up you didn't die after all
Asta; nope still alive
Ryu: it will take more than that to kill asta
Yami: knights headquarters wants a report asap so if you can walk your going
Time skip to the capital
Asta fanboys about being in the capital
Ryu: seriously asta calm down
Noelle: what he said your embarrassing both of us
Let's skip to when we meet the golden dawn again
Asta: well if it isn't the members of the golden dawn hello there
Ryu: hey guys what's up
Klaus: ah haven't seen you since the dungeon asta you came to file a report too is your wound all healed up
Asta: yeah my stomach still hurts a bit but after loads of food and sleep I'm good as new
Yuno: such a child
Asta: we're the same age
Ryu starts laughing
Yuno: hey what are you laughing about
Ryu: sorry but whenever you two are together funny things happen clearly
Yuno: oh yeah your saying I'm as childish as him
Ryu: didn't say that but I guess it's kinda true your clearly acting all cool but secretly your as immature as my magicless teammate
Yuno: why you
Ryu: what you wanna go pretty boy
Ryu and yuno stare each other
Asta: come on ryu calm down that's just how yuno is
Klaus: same with you yuno don't let you anger get out of control
Ryu: heh just wanna see what buttons I had to push to get you to drop that cool exterior
In hindsight it wasn't that hard
Asta and mimosa talk mimosa runs away
Ryu thinking: damn she may just be the opposite of Noelle in almost every way except for a few of course
Asta and yuno argue again
Timeskip to meeting the wizard king
Klaus: knights headquarters should be right through here
Asta: guess there's some things even you don't know huh four eyes
Klaus: even we four eyes can't know everything
Yuno: I guess somewhere along the line he accepted his new nickname
Mimosa: look how much better he is treating Asta
Ryu: damn he's really changed from the stuck up noble I met
Klaus: anyway we don't often come to headquarters so it's easy to forget
Huh
Ryu: wait seriously
Ryu immediately takes a knee
Klaus: is that really
Klaus a knee and so does the Noelle and mimosa
Asta: he's flashy I wonder who this guy is
Klaus : you idiot this is none other than the current wizard king sir julius novachrono
Asta and yuno are shocked they follow suit and take a knee
Let's skip through explaining the things that asta and yuno found
Ryu: haven't changed a bit huh julius
Klaus: how dare you talk to him like that
Julius: oh it's fine in fact I'm used to it
Ryu: hey julius I'm wondering have you seen a sword like this before
Shows him the sword
Julius: wow it's magnificent it seems to be radiating magic and even though it was in a dungeon for who knows how long it's in perfect condition
Ryu: this sword was able to slice though magic diamond like butter and when I picked it up several markings appeared on my body they looked like this
Ryu pulls out a piece of paper with them drawn on
Julius: huh they seem to be the runes for the seven deadly sins
Ryu: huh really well what does this symbol mean
Julius: ah this one means wrath Why
Ryu: well when it appeared again during a fight my physical strength skyrocketed but I felt extra drained after words
Julius: well I've never heard of anything like that so you'll have to figure it out on your own
Ryu: yes sir if you'd like I'll keep a document and report anything new I find
Julius got excited: oh yes please
Ryu smirks
Asta and yuno ask him how to become the wizard king (you all know so I won't say it again)
Ryu: the wizard king has to be the strongest huh nah I'm gonna be strongest without being the wizard king
Julius: I know I've heard it from you since I first met you
Let's skip to the magic knight ranking thing
Julius: with a total of seven stars I award member of the crimson lion kings Leopold vermillion the rank of intermediate magic knight second class
Like your bother captain of the crimson lion kings your use of flame magic can be a bit overwhelming
Leopold: when fighting against evil there is no room for mercy
Julius next with also a total of seven stars member of the black bulls Ryu sukihero i award the rank of intermediate magic knight second class
Similar to Leopold you seem to be very destructive and reckless Yami has clearly been rubbing off on you
Ryu: yeah well that's just how I fight
Ryu returns to his group and they all look shocked
Ryu: what? I'm the student of a captain that's friends with the wizard king I even have a cool nickname
Let's skip to the party
Ryu is just eating listening to things the nobles and royals are saying
Asta gets into the fight with the nobles and the silva's over them insulting Noelle
Ryu thoughts: dammit asta I wanted to fight them but you've got this
The fight with the silva's and that one Golden dawn guy happen as normal and then nozel enters the room
Ryu thoughts: damn I forgot what this feeling was when feeling this guys power
Solid; nozel what are you doing
Nozel: enough Solid you shouldn't be so quick as to use your magic against a mere comment
Solid: he deserved it though
Nozel: I said enough Do you wish to sully the name of house silva with your antics
Asta is prettified
Nozel: a commoner that dares to defy royalty I wonder how I should punish you
Ryu steps in front of asta
Ryu: if you wanna try and punish him you'll have to go through me
Nozel: and now a filthy foreigner is standing against a royal how low can the black bulls fall
Ryu: well considering I outrank all of your siblings I wouldn't say we've fallen that far
Nozel: such insolence
Fuegoleon: this has gone far enough what are thinkig ganging up on two youths like this where is your honour
Ryu relaxes and the feels something come towards him quickly turns around and blocks a punch
Asta is shocked but
Leo: hey ryu
Ryu: what's up Leo
They do a guy hug (you guys know what I'm talking about)
Ryu: how you been
Leo: oh just beating mission and being awesome
Ryu: same old same old
Leo smirks
Leo: so anyway who's the entertaining kid behind you
Ryu: this guy is asta I assume that mimosa told you about him
Leo: yup and today is his lucky day because I have made him my rival
Asta: huh
Leo keeps laughing
Ryu: hey you have a rival ME
Leo: yeah true but the more the better is what I always say
Ryu 😓: you've never said that
Asta: wait I already have rival yuno over there
Leo: as I've said there's not rule that you can only have one rival also you've got some big muscles there no less for a rival of mine now let's arm wrestle
Asta: why
Ryu: hey if he doesn't want to I will
Leo: that's just what I'd expect from my long time rival always ready for death match
They find a barrel and start arm wrestling
Ryu and Leo both struggle but eventually
.
.
.
.
.
.
The barrel breaks
Ryu: damn another draw
Leo: same I felt I was gonna win
Ryu: what i was totally gonna win
The bicker for a while but settle down
Ryu: hey Leo still have yours
Leo looks and him strangely but then smiles: yup sure do it's a scar after all
Ryu: pulls down his shirt revealing a burn scar on his shoulder while Leo does the same showing off a deep looking sword scar
Asta: wow how'd you get those
Ryu: simple about a year ago now me and Leo where sparing and it went extra hard in preparation for the magic knight entrance exam although neither of us would actually be entering
Leo: yeah and we got really into it and I ended up burning ryu's shirt to ashes along with giving him that burn you see there
Ryu: and I ended up slicing his shirt up and giving him the scar
Leo: we where gonna let them heal the the wounds but thought leaving the scars would be nice
Asta: huh why
Ryu: we left it as a symbol of our rivalry and our friendship having them there makes us remember that now matter what situation we are in we always have a friend we can all upon
And that's a rap I wanted to include Leo and ryu's rivalry and friendship so extra long chapter and that's it so see you guys next time for a zombie attack
NEVER GIVE UP
