While Brian, Noelle, and Charmy were still sitting and eating sweets in the dining hall, Magna had also finished showering. Before that, he had overlooked Noelle's rude attitude because of Brian; now, he wanted to see how far these two had progressed.
After all, who wouldn't want to see the results of their own matchmaking?
Magna would be extremely happy and proud of himself if he helped Brian flirt with Noelle. That would be something he would bring up repeatedly whenever he had the chance to ask Brian for a favor, a perfect debt of gratitude.
After putting on new clothes, Magna began searching for Brian. After a while of wandering all over the base, Magna finally found Brian in the dining hall.
"Hey Brian, come here for a sec!"
Magna called out to Brian as soon as he reached the dining hall. He also saw Brian sitting next to Noelle while they were eating Charmy's sweets together. "I'm taking you to your bedroom, hurry up!"
"Sure, wait a second."
Brian replied to Magna, then turned to Noelle, who was surprised by Magna's sudden appearance. "I'm going, see you tomorrow."
"Oh, see you…"
Noelle replied with a bit of disappointment; she wanted Brian to sit there a little longer, but he had his own business, so she couldn't bother him any further when he had already helped her get to know Charmy.
Brian said goodbye to Noelle and went over to Magna.
As soon as Brian left, only Noelle and Charmy remained at the dining table, the two still comfortably talking to each other. Although the topic of conversation was mainly about food, this made Noelle feel comfortable talking to Charmy, who didn't have many deep thoughts.
"Hey, how's it going? I saw you and that girl interacting pretty well."
Magna put his arm around Brian's shoulder, grinning as he talked to him. "I gave you a chance, man, remember to owe me one."
"Of course."
Brian put his arm around Magna in return, "Noelle is a lovely girl, but she still has many issues. She needs to resolve them all before she can get along with everyone."
"Oh, so what's wrong with her?"
Magna's curiosity was piqued by Brian. "I already knew this Squad was full of problematic people, but it shouldn't be enough to make her behave that unpleasantly, right?"
Here, Magna didn't mention the fact that Noelle could talk normally to Charmy as he had just seen. He assumed that it was thanks to Brian somehow persuading Noelle to talk properly.
"She hasn't told me anything yet."
Brian replied to Magna in a relaxed tone. "I think it's a fairly big issue, which is why she doesn't dare to speak out. Let's give her more time to get familiar with us; when she's confident enough to speak, she'll let us know."
"That's the only way."
Magna clicked his tongue when thinking of Noelle's unpleasant attitude. Although he didn't like her attitude, he didn't think she was a bad person either.
No matter how unpleasant she was, Noelle was still someone brought into the Black Bull Squad by Captain Yami. As someone who extremely respected and admired Yami, Magna had no doubts about the Captain's decision.
Brian and Magna chatted a bit while they continued moving along the hallway; Magna hadn't led Brian to his bedroom in the Black Bull base yet, so now he had to find a suitable vacant room for him.
Unlike Asta in the original story, Magna really valued Brian many times more on the first day they met. He was looking for a room that was truly big enough; at least the room had to be as big as, or larger than, the room he was currently in.
Brian, after all, was someone chosen by a four-leaf clover Grimoire; he had huge potential in the future; he would surely become an important figure in the Black Bull. Magna would naturally value him and treat him with the utmost respect.
"Here it is, a room suitable for you."
After a while of searching, Magna finally led Brian to a vacant room he found in the base. The Black Bull base was big enough to house many people; finding a vacant room wasn't too difficult, the problem was just whether the room was suitable for the resident or not; because of this, they spent quite a bit of time.
"How is it? This room is even bigger than mine. You should feel lucky."
Magna looked around the room; although this room was wider than his own, unfortunately, it hadn't been cleaned at all. "It might take a little time to clean, but I think you'll be satisfied with this room."
"This room is fine, I'll take it."
Brian touched the bed in the room with one hand; it was old and had many patches on the bed sheet, not exactly an ideal thing to use for sleeping. Besides the bed, the furniture like tables, chairs, or curtains were no longer intact, very hard to use, or rather, it was best to throw them away and buy new ones.
If Brian wanted to use the room, he would have to clean up the dust and other things; it was best to buy new stuff, but that wasn't a big problem for him as Magna said.
"Then it's settled."
Magna patted Brian's shoulder a few times before turning away to leave. "If you need anything, just call me. In the Squad, it's quite free, except when receiving missions, the rest of the time you can do whatever you want. That's it, I'm off."
Brian watched Magna leave without saying anything. He quite liked his open and enthusiastic attitude; he was also an honest and passionate person.
Someone like Magna was quite hard to hate if he were in Brian's old world; no one would dislike such open and enthusiastic people. If it wasn't for his delinquent-like appearance, Magna would have been an almost perfect person.
In the coming time, Magna would still be the guide for Brian and Noelle if nothing changed Captain Yami's decision, so maintaining a good relationship with him was extremely beneficial for Brian. He also liked him; there was nothing difficult here.
"Now, let's deal with the room, shall we…?"
Brian looked around the room. To be honest, he didn't really like his room; this place was more like a warehouse than a decent room. But he couldn't expect more from the Black Bull base; he already knew about the living conditions here.
Except for a few things that weren't good, as Brian was experiencing, the Black Bull really had nothing for him to complain about.
"I should talk to him…"
Brian glanced at the wall in the room; or rather, at someone he sensed in the Black Bull base, a few floors away from his room.
"Earth Creation Magic: Mini Golem!"
Brian's Grimoire flipped through the pages and stopped at the page recording the spell he wanted to use. Mana surged, and ten tiny Golems appeared in front of Brian; they were only about half a meter tall and had an appearance exactly like a Copper Golem (Minecraft).
Mini Golem, a spell of Brian that allowed him to create and control tiny Golems. The created Golems were not limited in number and had a certain ability to act on their own; as long as the orders Brian gave them were simple enough, they would complete them without any problems.
The utility of this type of Golem could be compared to Datto (JJK) but was many times more versatile. They could be used to distract enemies, obscure vision, attack from afar with energy shots, self-destruct like a bomb, relay information, and communicate from afar like a walkie-talkie,….
Brian could sit all day listing the ways Mini Golems could be used, and he had used one of them.
"You two go find that guy to ask about something, the rest of you start cleaning the room."
Receiving Brian's order, the Golems began to carry out the work he assigned them. Two Golems flew outside, while the remaining Golems cleaned Brian's room with an extremely professional style.
With them, Brian wouldn't need to clean his room himself, making him tired; he could let this 'unpaid labor' force do everything while he lazed around outside the room.
After a period of hard work, Brian's room was also cleaned by his Golems; it wasn't that there were no points to criticize, but this place looked more like a room for someone to live in.
"Oh, you're back."
Brian noticed the two Golems he had sent out earlier had returned, and they even brought him a completely new bed, replacing the bed Brian had just thrown away when cleaning the room.
Although the bed just brought back was a bit old, in return, it was clean and usable.
"Done. It's better now."
After the two Golems brought the new bed back to the room, Brian looked around his room and then exclaimed with satisfaction; he then turned to his diligent Golems, "You are free now."
Saying that, Brian also dispelled his spell, causing the Golems to fly out of the room and turn into dust before disappearing completely.
"Ah~"
Brian let out a full, comfortable sigh as he lay stretched out on the bed. Today was quite a long day for him, the Magic Knights entrance exam, Magna's new member welcome party, to Noelle's matter.
He deserved a rest.
Tomorrow, Brian would seek out Noelle to help her. If nothing else happened, then Noelle would probably practice in the morning like she did every day.
Brian just needed to appear at the right time to help Noelle; that way, he would successfully solve her problem with the rest of the Black Bulls. Simple and effective.
