Chapter 3: Locked Out

Thank you so much for reading this fanfiction, I greatly appreciate it. This chapter will contain a ton more plot developments and more. *laughs evilly* This will I hope you like this new installment and please don't hesitate to leave a comment or a vote. :)

3rd Person POV

After just staring at the two for half an hour, they finally decided it was time to figure a couple more things out. Marx was the one that was pushed forward. He regained his straight posture and knocked on the enormous doors. Noelle let out a little 'eep' before slipping onto the floor. She slid her book into a nearby bookshelf and dusted her hand from the book's accumulated dust bunnies. Asta stood up and brushed himself off, telling himself he did a good workout today. The Black Bulls walked up to the Wizard Kings advisor, and said,

"What?" simultaneously. Marx held back a laugh before asking them if they would follow him. They gladly obliged, and walked across the marble floors and walls decorated with

expensive portrait and pottery and candles. There were also flower-printed tables with a lace cover that were strangely empty.

There were also many dents in the walls, as if someone had punched it. Hard. Of course, Asta just mistook that for 'fancy decor' while Noelle looked around in shock. She thought there might have been a fight or an intruder. Then she realized there was a pattern. And then again, artist did come up with new abstract decoration every now and then. Maybe this was in style. Yes, she assured herself. Just a decoration.

Wizard King POV (kind of)

They walked into the conference room and suddenly found themselves in front of nine of the most powerful mages in the kingdom. Asta and Noelle walked carefully to the side seats and sat down. Why the heck were the nine Magic Captains here? Then, the miniature Wizard King ordered,

"Bring her in," with a surprisingly mature voice.

Lily walked in the door, her arms cuffed behind her back. Her lips formed into a scowl. Immediately the nine captains stood on their feet. The Wizard King stood up, and ordered the captains all sat down again.

¨Relax, she's just here to talk.¨ he said.

"But her mana is so weird. It's obviously there, but it's all covered up!" cried Rill.

"You can't even tell she's a girl because she so short and most of her face is covered!" complained the Captain of the Purple Orcas.

Each captain had something to say, and it all became overlapped shouting. Yami squinted at the small figure and said,

"She's got no ordinary ki, I'll give her that."

"What do you mean Captain? It's enormous!" gwaffed Asta.

"Her mana is incredibly overflowing and rapid," agreed Noelle.

All of the captains looked over at the two, including Yuno and Klaus.

"I can't sense any of her mana," contemplated Yuno, slightly frowning at the two. Noelle blinked at him, dumbfounded.

"Kid, either you're picking up on the other mages in the room, or you have really good senses. I can't sense her ki either." The Black Bull captain muttered.

"There is a special lock on her ki and mana." The Wizard King confirmed.

"Certain types of people can go through the loophole and some can't." he said, smiling with a strange piece of curiosity.

"Asta and Noelle happened to be one of those people." The duo looked at each other in confusion. Asta opened his big mouth and questioned,

"Wait . . why are we one of them?" Noelle bobbed her head fast, agreeing with the short boy. The Wizard King's eyes shimmered mischievously as he said,
