Chap 7 - A Friend

"So, you're not a magic knight?"

(Y/n) shook her head in response, "Nope, I'm not. I've already mentioned that, and I don't have any plans to join the magic knights anytime soon."

Yuno pondered for a moment, his gaze fixated on her. She tilted her head slightly, a quizzical expression on her face. "What? Is there something on my face?"

Yuno's eyes widened for a fraction of moment before he quickly averted his gaze, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "No. . . I was just wondering. Why did you offer to treat me to lunch? And... are you truly a nobility?" He asked awkwardly, his composure wavering.

(Y/n) blinked twice, then burst into laughter. "Maaaybee~ And why not? Can't I just thank a friend and hang out? Oh, and I want to invite Asta as well! Speaking of him, isn't he taking too long?"

"I should go check on him." Yuno said abruptly, turning to walk away but (Y/n) tagged along with him. "I'll come with you!"

They both walked to the men's washroom and noticed Sekke pulling a trick to get back on Asta. He had summoned a poisonous lizard which crawled towards the occupied washroom.

Yuno immediately took action as he created a swift white hawk by his wind magic which tackled the poisonous lizard and destroyed it.

Sekke zapped his head around to look at Yuno and (Y/n) who were glaring at him coldly. Sekke shivered taking a step back.

"Ehh! I was just trying to prank. Bah-ha-"

(Y/n)'s glare intensified, and Sekke quickly made up an excuse. "Uh, you see, I wanted to give my regards before we part ways. You know, we could place a bet on who advances further-"

"Then get lost. You're not even in the same league to compete with him."  Yuno replied coldly.

(Y/n) smirked, watching Sekke quivered under their gaze then left hesitantly.

"Coward. . ." (Y/n) muttered turning around and left the washroom with Yuno.

'Let's go now.' They thought simultaneously and walked out of the exam venue.

"Oi Asta- uh. . ." (Y/n) cut off her own sentence when she saw Yami grabbing Asta by his head again.

Asta and Yami noticed her with Yuno who stood next to her. "Oh, Hey guys! What's up?" Asta spoke hanging by Yami's grip.

"Umm, I was thinking to invite you too for lunch but. . ." she trailed off as Yami took his cigarette out exhaling the smoke. "Sorry kiddo, but he's taken for now. See you later."

With that he threw Asta into the portal then went in himself with Finral and the other squad member.

(Y/n) sweat dropped as she felt like left alone with Yuno. "So-" they both began simultaneously, then exchanged glances.

"You go first." They said in unison again. (Y/n) stared at Yuno for a moment before she started laughing, making Yuno deadpanned.

"Alright, I'll speak first. I suggest you should head to your squad's base with your captain and get your room sorted out. Let's meet at the central fountain of Kikka tomorrow. What do you think?"

"I was actually thinking the same thing." Yuno agreed with her.

"Great, it's settled then." (Y/n) declared with a smile.

- Next Day -

(Y/n) changed into her casual outfit with a matching-colored satchel. She reviewed herself in the full body-length mirror then happily skipped out of her room.
