Chapter 76: Star Festival
It was the late afternoon, and the sun was beginning to set. All of the Black Bulls' members were arriving at the festival.
They saw many things; people singing, dancing, fish in colored water, mask, etc. The last time Madara has ever been to something relatively like this is when he was a kid, back on Earth.
Taking a look around, reminded him of when he was a kid and didn't have to worry about family issues.
The feeling only lasted for a few seconds because he felt someone tugging on his clothes. When he looked down, he saw Charmy in a human form squirming.
"Do you think I can have some of that w-" Before she could finish she was interrupted by Madara.
"Follow me," Madara said as he walked away from the group with Charmy following him. Madara knew that Noelle would try and follow him, so he had to be smart.
As soon as they turned the corner, they vanished. If anyone were to see it, they would've thought they were never there.
Madara brought Charmy to this secluded area and presented his meat. Madara didn't want to waste too much time, so he sped up the process.
After ten minutes, they were done and headed back to the festival. They both went their separate ways and never spoke of what happened.
Madara played some of the festival games, won prizes, and ate food. With the prizes he won, he gave them to some little kids because he didn't need them.
After a while, Madara sat on top of a rooftop, looking at all the people below him. He saw the smiles on their faces, they were happy.
It brought back memories of his childhood. Back then, he didn't know what anime was. He was either watching Disney channel or Cartoon Network.
After things went wrong with his family, that was the last time he felt genuinely happy. So many things he missed out on because of his stupidity.
He sighed and looked to the setting sun. He smiled thinking about his grandpa and his family before the incident.
After spending time on the rooftop, he disappeared and appeared near the food stalls. Madara ate a little then explored a bit more.
Honestly, he was wasting time. He was going to do something, but it was going to take time. So, what better way to waste time than doing random stuff?
After the sun went down, he made his way over to the hut where it was lively. He made his way through the crowd, undetected by anyone there.
They would've thought he was a normal person, but he still had his robe on and they noticed him. On the day of the attack, he saved a lot of people. It wasn't hard to identify your savior.
But he didn't want to be recognized yet, so he put a finger to his mouth, signaling them to be silent. He watched as Vanessa and Charlotte argued with Sol instigating.
'It doesn't seem she has the same level of affection she had for Yami in canon. If it isn't obvious, but she still likes him.'
"Who do you think you are, glaring at nee-san like that? You're just a Black Bull!" Sol yelled at Vanessa.
'No matter where you go, there will always be discrimination...'
"I'm not glaring!" Vanessa said after hearing Sol.
"A Black Bull couldn't beat nee-san in a billion, trillion years!" Sol shouted.
"Say that one more time, I don't think I heard you," Madara said, gaining the attention of everyone present.
"You..." Sol growled after noticing his presence. She instinctively put her guard up from past experiences.
"Charlotte," Madara looked toward Charlotte, in eyes, endearment, and warmth. Other than his previous fierce gaze, his eyes told a different story when looking at the ones he wants.
"Madara," Charlotte said, getting shocked expressions and noises from the crowd.
After she responded, Madara felt a rise in temperature from Charlotte. Madara looked her up and down, she was beautiful in whatever she wore.
Madara then heard 'o's' from the crowd. Not only did he get away with checking her out, but she remembered his name. Her male followers would die happy if she remembered theirs.
"Did you get all dressed up for me?" Madara asked with a teasing tone, making Sol growl at him.
"Don't be foolish. I would never do such a thing for a man." Charlotte said, with her same cold attitude and murderous gaze.
"As cold as ever," Madara said as he began to walk away.
"Don't think you're going to get away with what you did to nee-san!" Sol yelled as she rushed at Madara.
With his fist balled, she was going to hit Madara on the back of the head, hoping to knock him out.
Madara turned around just as the hit was about to land and caught her fist. Sol clenched her teeth seeing her attempt was futile.
She was waiting to be hit because she knew Madaras' hands went both ways. Instead, something unexpected happened.
"Open your eyes," Madara demanded.
Sol reluctantly opened her eyes to see Madara only a few centimeters away from her face. She tried to back away from him, but he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer.
"I love you," Madara said, shocking everyone especially Sol.
Her cheeks turned a bright shade of red and pink and her eyes opened wide. Her heartbeat quicken and she could form any words.
"That playboy..." Vanessa whispered, shaking her head, while smile.
"He plays dirty," Charlotte quietly commented seeing Madaras' actions.
"I wish sister Lily would accept my love like that..." Asta commented with stars in his eyes.
"He could've been helping me sell my squid. I'm going to kill him later..." Yami commented while smoking his cigarette.
The crowd around them erupted as Madara stared into her light blue eyes. Madara then smiled as he disappeared.
After what seemed like hours, in reality, only a few seconds, Sol snapped out of the trance she was in, and grit her teeth.
"That bastard!" Sol exclaimed with her cheeks slightly red out of embarrassment.
•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
After that, Madara masked his mana to nearly nothing. He blended in with the crowd and watched Vanessa's and Charlotte's challenge.
Charlotte dressed as a witch and Vanessa dressed as a nun. If he were like one of the other people drooling over her, he wouldn't have noticed the disrespect.
'She dressed as a witch, in front of a witch, to show her she could do it better... Vanessa dressed as a nun but was getting her insides ravaged a few hours ago...'
Now he understood that it was a contest, but he couldn't let that slide. After that, as it did in canon, it ended up a tie.
After Finral got attacked by Charlotte, someone announced that they had premium clover beer. That's when Vanessa challenged Charlotte to a drinking contest.
Madara made his way to the front of the crowd, nobody seemed to notice him or they didn't care. It didn't bother him any. He only stayed there to build affection with Charlotte.
Not even a few seconds later, Vanessa was drunk. She passed out from the little bit of beer she had.
Charlotte took one sip and was drunk. Madara shook his head and scoffed. So much for a challenge.
Before Yami could take her cup away, Madara arrived before him. He took the cup out of the blonde captain's hand and drunk it.
"I thought I said not to push yourself," Madara said as he looked at her before she passed out.
Madara knew he was full of shit. Had never said that to her.
Madara then heard someone say that the achievement ceremony was about to start. Madara smirked thinking about the looks on everyone's faces when the Black Bulls create a new record.
Most of the captains appeared on stage and the only one Madara was looking for was a ginger-haired woman.
Madara teleported on top of a building, in front of the moon and used a bit of wind magic to make his hair move.
He sat down with his forearm on his knee and his left leg at a 90-degree angle. He activated his Sharingan but didn't cast any genjutsu.
Was this corny? Yes. Did Madara ever do this? No.
Madara was in the crowd as the captains came out. He didn't care for anything going on, he had his eyes locked on Mereoleona.
Feeling his gaze, her blue eyes locked onto his. Seeing who was gazing at her, she grinned, showing off her canine tooth.
Madara then felt the ferocious, animalistic, and wild aura emitting from her. Feeling this aura, his battle intent began to leak.
A smile then formed across his face looking at her.
'So this is him. He seems promising now.' Mereoleona thought feeling his absurd amount of lust for battle.
Julius sensing what was going on, began the achievement ceremony. While talking about the eye and other things, he noticed that neither Madara nor Mereoleona had stopped staring at each other.
The people civilians around Madara began to have trouble breathing because of the aura he was emitting. The look on his face spelled out a fight to the death.
"In first place... The Black Bulls!" Julius announced, shocking everyone present.
The worst of the worst squad getting a first place? There must be a mistake, right?
"With a new record, 208 stars!" Julius confirmed, getting gasped with shock and disbelief.
"There must be a mistake!"
"No way, those trash beat the Golden Dawn!"
"How could they have gotten first place!"
"They went from negative stars to a new record, its a scam!"
"They must've threatened someone!"
"Those savages could never beat the Golden Dawn!"
"You made a mistake!"
The crowd erupted with insults to the squad, forgetting that the ones who saved their lives, was right next to them.
'Damn... 208 stars? I didn't expect that...' Madara thought, ignoring the comments of the people around him.
"Now let's have the member who made the biggest contribution of stars take the stage," Julius announced as Madara began to walk toward the stage.
The people instantly got quiet remembering Madara was present. They all cleared a pathway for him, with a look of fear and regret on their faces.
They didn't know the full extent of his power, but they know he was strong enough to save people from each district. Not even captains could do that.
They tarnished and insulted the squad that their savior was in. Most of them had their heads down, they couldn't even look at him.
Madara made his way to the stage, with shitcut glaring at him and Mereoleona still grinning. He could tell she was itching for a fight.
The Golden Dawn was second, Yuno and the pixie said they would get stronger and surpass him. Madara said nothing at his declaration.
Sekke was going to say that they were peasants, but Madara sent his bloodlust toward him, he passed out and foamed from the mouth.
As Julius announced the rankings, the achievements were over. He was going to let the 'King' speak. Madara didn't care for that, he wanted his favor.
"Julius, I think it's time you owe me that favor," Madara said as the rankings ended.
"Right now? In front of everyone? The King also has to speak." Julius said, with a smile.
"..."
"We can't do it in private like we did last time?" Julius asked making Madaras' face scrunch.
"Phrasing..." Madara said as he looked to the captains. He knew they heard him and could only shake his head, about the thought running through their heads.
"Excuse me, everyone. There is one more event before the king says his speech. A spar between me, Julius Novachrono, and Madara Uchiha!" Julius announced.
The crowd erupted because that would be a good fight, but they didn't question how Madara got a spar with the Wizard King.
The captains, especially Mereoleona was intrigued. They would've never expected a peasant to fight the Wizard King, in front of the people.
Madara vanished from his spot, shocking most present. He appeared behind Julius, with a kick aiming at his head.
Julius's body turned into this blue silhouette as he appeared behind Madara. 'Whoa's' erupted from the crowd seeing how fast they both moved.
Madara could see that Marx didn't think it was a good idea for him to fight Madara.
"You've gotten faster these past three years," Julius commented after dodging his attack.
The civilians and most of the magic knights thought that Julius dodged Madaras' attack with no difficulty.
But Yami, Julius, Madara, Luck, and Mereoleona knew if he was a millisecond late, that would've been a devasting blow to the head.
Madara came with the full intention to knock his head off his shoulders. Madara made a portal and took out a weird-looking knife.
Madara expertly threw the kunai to the left of Julius. Julius didn't even move, the kunai went straight past him.
Before the people could even say anything about his terrible throw, Madara disappeared in a blue flash, where the kunai was.
He caught the kunai in the air, twists his body, and using wind magic to increase his speed. He aims for the nape of Julius.
Madara just barely grazed Julius, before he disappeared again. Madaras' eyes moved unlike any human, he looked around to see everyone shocked.
He saw Mereoleona shocked for a moment, but that shock turned into desire. She wanted to fight him. Her grin grew wider as the fight continued.
