Becoming One ~Asta x OC~ (Black Clover Fanfic)

Chapter 32 - Let The Games Begin

Mika POV

The next night we stand outside on the beach, excited about the task ahead. Standing next to Gordan with Gray behind me. Smiling at Noelle I pat her back gently, "Don't be nervous, you'll do great!"

Yami walks in front of Noelle, "Just remember, ya gotta try to relax." 

The aura around him grows dark as he glares at her, "And if you do screw this up, I'm gonna kill ya."

Stepping in front of her I glare at him, "Keep threatening her, and I'll drown you myself."

Our aura's battle out, but only for a little bit as a strong pair of arms pick me up and pulls me aside. Pouting at Asta's interference we smile at her, "Ok, here it goes."

Walking ahead of us a bit she starts to cast her spell, "Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Cradle!"

As we stand in the water orb, we trust Noelle as we dive into the sea. Awing at the sight of the ocean I smile. Seeing a group of tornados we brisk through, with the current and winds strong. Seeing a bright light, we finally make it to calm waters. 

So peaceful, serene, and fish I've never seen before, like the magic mutated then into something new. Seeing a water barrier, Yami commands Asta to break the barrier but he confesses he doesn't know how to swim. 

Before I could suggest using my magic, Yami throws him straight towards the barrier. Using his sword he breaks through the barrier, giving us an opening. Smiling I help Asta up, checking for any injuries on him. 

Walking forward we see a temple made of coral and thick sand, using her magic Charmy lets us float on a thick cloud of cotton. Walking around, we see two ocean folk. Noticing us the whole town greets us, getting a lot of attention even Gordan is talking to the others. 

Giving us directions, we walk up the stairs to the temple to see the high priest. Finally making it to the top the door opens for us. As the door closes behind us I stay next to Asta as we walk through the dimly lit room. 

Looking up, I see a giant fish with shape teeth, gasping Asta and Noelle look up screaming in fear. As it comes down to attack us, I clap my hands send a large wave of light and dark magic resulting in it being sliced in half. 

Feeling a bit shaken up I twitch, "What the hell was that!?"

Hearing a crinkly laugh I turn around with the others, the first thing we see is an old man.

"Oh! This is wonderful! I love it when we have exciting visitors! Hah! Yes! Welcome to the Underwater Temple! I'm the high priest of this subaqueous structure."

Magna looks at him up close, "Wait, this freaky geezer is the one in charge here?"

Yami looks down at him as well, "That wasn't the most neighborly welcome you gave us you old fart."

This makes the old man laugh, "I can't tell you how much I enjoy catching people off guard like that! Did you see how they reacted? Delightful!"

Noelle glares and grumps at him, "This guy needs a new hobby."

Seeing the giant fish I attacked disappear, I wonder what kind of magic he's using.

"You came to my temple to seek the magic stone, didn't you? If you want it, you'll have to play a game with me first."

I ask, "What kinda game are we talking about?"

He smiles at us, "Well? Are you ready? The name of this little game is Find Out How Squishy the Boobs Are."

Wasting no time Noelle and I punch the old man, while she steps on him I kick him in the face.

"How about we play this game instead?"

"I agree Noelle, this is so fun~"

Letting him go Asta picks me up once again, pulling me beside him while Noelle stops stomping on him.

Siting up with a bloody nose he laughs a bit, "It was just a joke!"

Raising my fist I glare at him, "Well, now I'm going to show you exactly how not funny that joke is!"

Asta holds me back, "I really don't think that's a good idea, Mika!"

As Magna asks the old pervert how he knew we wanted the magic stone she chuckles at looks at him creepily. "You'd be surprised how well these old eyes still see. So, what are you going to do? Your kingdom needs that stone. Doesn't it?"

While we start to contemplate on what we should do the old pervert speaks up, "Oh, haven't made up your mind yet. Play with me, and not only will you get the magic stone, but I'll round up the temples loveliest ladies, finest drinks, and tastiest food. We'll have a magnificent banquet! What do you think? Shall we play?"

This sells Finral, Charmy, and Vannessa with no question. Deciding to play the game we wait patiently on the game we're playing.

"Woo-hoo! A brawl! A real Temple Battle Royale! Yeah!!!! Yeah!! Yeah!"

Opening his grimoire he says, "Temple mages, come on down! Game Magic: It's time for temple Shuffle!"

Gasping at the doors, different fish headed mages appear in front of us. "You summoned us, High Priest?"

"Finally, mages from the outside have come to visit us!"

"Ohh, this is gonna be fun!"

"I'm not sure. They don't seem as impressive as we'd thought"

Confused at the sight of talking fish I tilt my head,

"Alrighty! Shall we get started?!"

"Are you ready? Ok! let's go!"

As water rains down on us, the strong current sent me through a tunnel. Looking around I see that I'm all alone. "Where am I? Where's everyone else?"

Then the old perverts voice rings in the cave, "Uh, testing, testing! Can you all hear me? As you may have noticed, you've been separated and placed in various spots throughout the temple! It's going to be a 10-10 battle. The rules are very simple, knock them out and you win. Make them surrender and you win. The team that takes all of there opponents or the one with the most players left standing when the game concludes will be the winner! You may play any way you like. Fight one-on-one. Hide and hope to outlast the others. Find your friends, band together, and swarm the enemy! The choice is yours! Just make sure you keep an eye out for my nuisance spells they can be a bit startling."

I smirk, "Let the games begin."
