Chapter 23: SFDI: Chapter 23
Drake admired Asta’s ability to eat so happily despite the situation; he wasn’t sure if it was Asta’s open-mindedness or his thick-headedness.
The Black Bulls and Golden Dawn were invited to the post-ceremony banquet as special guests.
The food was delicious, but the atmosphere was far from convivial. The Black Bulls and Golden Dawn were t with disdain, contempt, and even hostility.
"Lowly commoners!"
Soone started the venomous taunts.
"Why would the Wizard King favor such people..."
"What an unsightly eating manner!"
"They have no magic power... conquering the Magic Palace was pure luck..."
"They don’t belong here... get out, you rats!"
These nobles were even more cruel and spiteful than those they’d encountered before.
Soone finally intervened—a youth with fiery red hair.
"Speaking of commoners, doesn’t your squad have one?" Leopold Vermillion of the Crimson Lion Kings addressed Alecdora Sandler of the Golden Dawn.
Alecdora had started the taunts, prompting Leopold’s retort.
Of the three royal families—Silva, Vermillion, and Kira—Drake favored the Vermillions. Mimosa and her siblings weren’t obsessed with status; they possessed genuine nobility.
Alecdora glanced at Yuno. "That commoner with a four-leaf clover Grimoire, puffed up with pride..."
Leopold shouted, "I could have done better exploring the Magic Palace!"
Alecdora retorted, "Confident? Crimson Lion brat. I didn’t expect much from that commoner. We’ll achieve Captain Vangeance’s... Golden Dawn’s ideal!"
"With all due respect..."
Klaus tried to interject but drew Alecdora’s ire.
"And you, Klaus. Aren’t you ashad to be here?"
Alecdora then turned to Mimosa. "And Mimosa, you were injured early in the Magic Palace. Disgraceful for a Vermillion!"
Mimosa bowed, apologizing.
"Oh my! The most useless one..."
An irritating voice approached. A man in a white cloak said,
"Noelle!"
Noelle’s usual haughty expression vanished, replaced by humiliation.
"You can’t even control your magic! Disgraceful!"
"You were exiled by the Silva family; why are you here?" another woman in similar attire added.
The two Silva royals stepped back as Drake unleashed flas, pushing everyone back.
"So noisy! You push
too far!"
Drake kicked over a table, confronting the Magic Knights’ elites.
"Are all nobles and royals venomous snakes? Show
sothing that truly proves your nobility!"
"Insolent! Silence!"
Drake’s words only angered Alecdora.
Alecdora unleashed sand magic, engulfing Drake.
Before Drake could react, soone intervened—Asta, cleaving the sand with his sword.
Asta smiled. "Drake’s right! No matter what you say, watch ! I’ll accumulate achievents and beco... Wizard King! Shut you all up!"
Silence, then uproar.
"He said... he’ll beco Wizard King!"
Many scowled, unleashing their magic on Asta.
"Fog Binding Magic: Fog Spider’s Binding Thread!"
"Water Binding Magic: Sea Serpent’s Coil!"
A fog spiderweb and water serpents attacked Asta rcilessly.
Drake pulled Asta behind him.
"Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist!"
Flas vaporized the magic.
Drake stepped forward, lting Alecdora’s sand magic with another fla.
"This is the magic you boast of, stolen through vile ans? You’re not superior!" Drake sneered.
"What nonsense?" Noelle’s brother, Solid Silva, raged.
"Hiding your ugly past? Typical noble behavior!" Drake replied.
"Enough!"
Solid Silva was stopped by a man with unusual hair—Nozel Silva, captain of the Silver Eagles. His aura intensified.
"I don’t know what you’re saying, but a commoner defaming royalty is unforgivable!"
Few could withstand Nozel’s magic power. He was sure he hadn’t held back, yet the boy only looked serious, showing no discomfort.
Nozel’s Grimoire glowed, ready to attack, but soone intervened.
"Stop! Silva family, attacking a youth is shaful. They were invited by Julius-sama; showing a little respect wouldn’t hurt!"
It was Fuegoleon Vermilion, Leopold’s brother.
"A royal saying that? The Vermillions have beco soft! How can a sky eagle respect a ground worm?" Nozel retorted.
Silver magic ford an eagle, confronting Fuegoleon’s fiery lion.
The door burst open.
"The capital... is under attack!"
