The sky was dark, Yuhan had just joined the Black bulls, much to the surprise of the other squads Finral and Gordon waited with captain Yami at the entrance, but Asta was nowhere in sight.
— I'm glad to have you join us, Yuhan, I'm Finral, this is Gordon.
He said gesturing to the pale young man right beside him, with dark circles on his eyes.
— ⁱ'ᵐ ᵍˡᵃᵈ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʸᵒᵘ ʲᵒⁱⁿᵉᵈ ᵘˢ ⁱ ʰᵒᵖᵉ ʷᵉ ᶜᵃⁿ ᵇᵉᶜᵒᵐᵉ ᶠʳⁱᵉⁿᵈˢ
I can see his mouth moving, but I can't hear anything.
— I'm glad to be here, I'm Yuhan, from Hage village, same as Asta.
Nodding in understanding, Finral continued with an approving tone.
— So you joined because you were worried about you friend, what a good guy.
Before he could finish Yuhan added flatly.
— Your squad sounds like a place I can slack off.
Finral froze, at the comment, another weird guy joined his squad. Some time passed and the four of them waited for Asta, watching capitan Yami's face get twisted with anger with every minute.
R.I.P Asta, it was nice meeting you
Eventually he joined them, met with an angry captain with a cigar on his mouth.
— You've got some nerve, making me wait, how long does it take you to take a dump?
Taking a step foward Asta stood his ground with confidence.
— Actually, it was really something! It was long and huge...
He gestured with his hand. Finral and Yuhan exchanged glances, none of them cared much about his explanation, they just wanted to leave. Taking the boy by the head, captain Yami had enough of him.
— Who asked you to start talking about your turds, you moron?!
Astas struggled, trying to open the captain's while his feet didn't even touch the ground.
— Let's leave, Finral.
Opening his grimoire, Finral pointed to an empty space and a white portal opened in front of him. Clearly focusing on keeping the portal open.
— Since you can't magically fly, you're going to have to learn some transport magic too
As time passed, Finral struggles more and more to keep the portal open, only a few secons passed and it looked like he was about to pop a blood vessel.
— Err, sorry to bother you, Yami, but it's a bit hard to keep a gate this size open, could you just go through quickly?
Yami's face turned to him with a dark look, like he was ready to kill someone.
— Who do you think you're ordering around? Tough it out and surpass your limits.
He said grabbing Asta by the hair and tossing him to the gate like a toy. Yuhan looked at his friend sent flying inside the gate and just strolled in casually, while Finral kept sweating bullets.
— See you there.
He waved at them walking through the portal. One the other side, followed by Yami, Fianral and Gordon, Yuhan found a dirt road in the middle of a forest, where an irregular abandoned building stood.
— Is this place even safe to enter? Looks like a haunted house.
Taking a long drag from his cigarette, Yami looked foward approaching them.
— Of course it is, Welcome to the black bulls.
Running foward, Asta opened the door with confidence and screamed.
— I'm Asta, from Hage village! I'll be joining the Black Bulls toda-
An explosion followed, sending Asta flying back with a smoke trail.
— Welcome to the absolute worst Magic Knights Squad, the Black bulls.
Their captain said looking at Yuhan and Asta, still face-planted on the ground, while the flames crackled behind him.
Taking his head out of the ground, Asta spat out a handful of dirt, shaking his head to dust off some of it, taking a stance and rushing foward again.
— I'm not done yet!
As he rushed foward, another fireball came through, bright yellow and scorching hot. Sensing the danger, Asta quickly jumped out of the way, but the fireball rush foward towards Yuhan, with a sigh, he waved his grimoire again.
— Monster Creation Magic: Green Phantom King

A tall elf appeared between him and the fireball, dressed in light yellow robes, with a crown of purple leaves on his head, long green hair and pointy ears and deep brown eye. A flick of his finger, a deep tree root appeared infront of him, making a barrier. The fireball exploded, but it didn't have much effect, with another move, the root buried itself again.
Vanishing in particles of light, the card returned to Yuhan's hand again.
— Now I'm pissed! You'd better be prepeared!
Shouts came from inside, as a purple haired troublemaker with sunglasses shot fireballs at a small blond guy with green clothes and a some type of strange electric magic on his feet, flying around like a live target, while the troublemaker smashed fireballs using a baseball bat made of fire.
— I'm not but let's do this!
Standing at the door, Yuhan felt like he might have made the wrong choice when picking this squad.
—— What's all the ruckus? I drank way too much, my head hurts.
A woman with red hair stood up, messy hair, smooth skin and a mature figure, dressed with only her bra and underwear, she spoke with a sleepy voice.
Sometimes we make the right choice by accident
Yuhan changed his mind instantly. A small child was eating sweets with a satisfied face, completly ignoring the chaos. A weird man stood frozen nosebleeding staring at a mirror.
— Keep it down, you morons!
He shouted at the others, but it's hard to take someone with a nosebleed seriously. Yuhan couldn't even comprehend the weird fat woman smoking indoors as if it was normal.
— They're at it again...
What do you mean again? stop them already, this place is so run down, one more explosion it's gonna come crashing down at our heads!!!
Yuhan complained internally. This place is a mess, someone was talking about a drinking contest, a little sister waking up because of the noise, someone's pudding, Finral started to yell at them to stop, Asta yelled introducing himself again and got ignored. Another fireball got send their way, but Yuhan had already took cover behind Yami. Asta got sent flying out again.
— Would you guys shut up?! Your not helping my headache!
Asta had managed to crawl back inside and got hit by a flying wine bottle.
— You virgin delinquent!
— W-w-w-Who are you calling a virgin delinquent?!
Said the delinquent with glasses, the redhead had just covered herself with a tiny jacked all of them seemed to wear.
Yami took a long drag and let it all slowly, mana gathering on his fists, his face shinning with anger, feeling an ominous premonition, Yuhan slipped away from them just in time.
— Stop breaking everything!
He screamed smashing his fist against the wall, sending a chunk of it flying into the horizon with a loud explosion. Everyone stopped and turned to look.
— Captain!!
Everyone screamed rushing to him, stomping Asta still on the ground. Enthusiastically jumping on their captain, the squad cheered at his return.
— Mister Yami, did anyone get too uppity with you? I'll kill them!
Shoving the delinquent's face aside, the blonde kid jumped at the chance.
— Captain, spar with me today, come on!
Launching herself at his arms, the redhead spoke with an invinting tone.
— C'mon, Just ignore these brats and drink with me.
Yami laughted at them, happy to see his squad again.
— I see. I see, so you guys love me this much, eh?
Then his face turned serious and his voice slight angry again.
— But you need to shut up.
Everyone jumped and sat on the ground instantly.
— I got some new members to- where is he?
He asked Yuhan, the boy pointed at Asta on the ground full of shoe marks on him.
— Why are you fooling around over there?
Asta didn't have enough strength to respond, he got back up on his and stood beside Yuhan.
— They're our other new members... What your names again?
Yami asked because he forgot, and didn't care enough to try and remember. Finding his chance, Asta planted his feet on the ground and presented himself again.
— I'm Asta, from Hage village! It's nice to meet you all!
He screamed again, making Yuhan tilt his head away from him out o habit.
— I'm Yuhan, also from Hage village, nice to meet you...
Yuhan didn't have a good first impression of the squad, took messy, but still, no one seemed like a bad person.
— Hage? Seriously, talk about out in the sticks.
The gangster sair impressed.
— Hey, introduce him to the other members.
Captain Yami said hurrying up the introductions.
— Oh, right. You guys already met him, this is Gordon Agrippa.
He said gesturing to the pale man that accompanied them here.
— ⁿⁱᶜᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵐᵉᵉᵗ ʸᵒᵘ
Gordon nodded in agreement.
— He's pretty gloomy, but he's a good guy.
Pointing at the redhead, Finral continued the introductions casually.
— Over here is Vanessa Enoteca. She'll get in your face when she's drunk, but she's a good person.
Is everyone a good person to this guy?
— I won't get in anyone's face.
She said standing up.
— Hage... isn't that a small village out in the boonies? To come from out in the boonies and join the Magical Knights... You must've worked really hard, little boy.
She said getting quite close Asta's face
—How about I reward you with a special treat?
It should have been meeeeeeeeeee...
Suddenly hunching over, Vanessa threw up right at the boy's feet.
— Let's continue the introductions.
Don't just ignore what happened, she's throwing up Finral!!!
— I'm next!
A blonde boy stood up full of energy.
— This is Luck Voltia, he loves to fight and is obsessed with battle, but he's a good guy.
How's a battle junkie a good guy?!
— Hey, do you guys like to fight? I love to fight! Wanna fight? Wanna fight?
The boy stayed there looking at them, Yuhan just looked to the side, not really interested in fighting. But just as he avoided eye contact with him, another guy was standing there holding a picture of a little girl.
— This is my little sister Marie, she's an angel. Listen well, if you lay a finger on Marie, I'll kill you.
I'm not even slightest interested in your sister, you creep!
— This is Gauche Adlai, he's a bit obsessed with his little sister, but he's a good guy.
Yuhan looked at Finral like he was crazy to call Gauche a good guy, but he was ignored, the presentations continued as usual.
—This is Charmy Pappitson, she eats way too much, but she's a good person.
Finally someone who actually might be a good person.
— Nice to meet you!
He's also a glutton, and that gave him positive opinion of Charmy, still munching on a muffin.
— This is Grey, I don't really get him, but he's a good guy.
The introductions were ending.
Don't just skip how weird that guy looks! whay is he smoking indoors?!!!
— And then we have Magma Swing, he's a delinquent, but he's a good guy!
It doesn't make sense Finral!!! how's a delinquent a good guy!!!
And finally he pointed at himself.
— And I'm Finral Roulacase, I'm super popular!
Yuhan couldn't help but take a jab at him.
— I thought you were a good guy.
Trying to ignore Yuhan's comment, Finral continued extending his hand at Yami.
— Last but not least, the Captain of the Black bulls, Yami Sukehiro!!
What's with the japanese last name! Also, he's not calling him a good guy!!!!
Asta then rushed to thank Yami for letting him join the squad, while Yuhan found a place to sit near the sofa.
— There are other members, but the're either on a mission, taking a break or slacking off. Anyway put them to work but don't kill them.
Putting his feet up, Yuhan was ready to start slacking off.
