Capítulo 7: Mareoleona Calms The Angry Little Lion
"A noise should be put down."
A distinctive red, fiery aura enveloped his body, radiating an air of raw power. By unleashing his mana, he exerted an overwhelming pressure that bore down on those around him. This display of strength and intimidation left a lasting impression, as weaker individuals recoiled in fear while witnessing Asher's might. His cold and menacing gaze pierced through the crowd, fixating on his targets with a penetrating intensity, leaving no doubt about his formidable prowess.
Asher jumped down from the Balcony and stared at the crowd with his cold, piercing gaze.
"All of you eyesores are saying that it's unfair. Why don't we prove it now? Me vs. All of you. I'll just let all of you choose whether I use my grimoire or not."
The individuals who had dared to criticize Asher earlier found themselves frozen in place, paralyzed by the sheer force of his overwhelming mana pressure. It resembled the imposing aura of the Black Bulls' captain earlier, leaving them feeling as though an enormous boulder had descended upon their bodies. The temperature around them seemed to steadily rise, causing beads of sweat to form and cascade down their foreheads, evidence of the intense discomfort induced by the oppressive atmosphere. No words could escape their trembling lips as they became acutely aware of the consequences of their hasty judgments.
"KEKEKE, This little lion has gone crazy. He looks worth slicing," Jack The Ripper said.
"He looked badass." Yami smirked.
"Oi, say something. You like being noisy, right?" No one dared say anything, fearing it would provoke Asher more.
Yuno and Asta stood in awe, their eyes fixed on Asher with a mixture of surprise and admiration. The sheer strength and presence emanating from Asher made it clear that he would prove to be a difficult opponent. Yuno, although uncertain about his chances of victory against Asher, refused to let doubt consume him. Instead, a fierce determination ignited within him, fueling his resolve to become stronger and aspire to the lofty goal of becoming the Wizard King.
Charlotte and Fuegoleon moved to intervene and calm Asher. However, in the midst of their approach, a familiar voice echoed through the air, capturing their attention instantaneously.
"Asher, stop it now." The pressure disappeared, which made the weak breathe normally again. Asher looked over his shoulder and saw his mother walking towards him.
"Mother..."
"I'm sorry." Asher looked ashamed of what he had done. What he hates the most is disappointing his mother.
Mereoleona smiled and patted Asher's head, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not mad. You did the right thing."
"Here, I brought you ice cream." Asher takes the ice cream and begins to eat it. His anger completely disappeared, like nothing had happened earlier.
"Sister, why are you here?" Fuegoleon approaches Mereoleona and Asher Along with the other captains.
"I felt Asher's anger, so I came here."
Fuegoleon couldn't suppress a sigh as he reflected on his missed opportunity to intervene and calm Asher earlier. Fully aware of Asher's true identity as Mereoleona's son, Fuegoleon understood the potential consequences that loomed over any untoward actions from the young Vermillion. He was keenly aware of the fiery temperament that ran through the veins of their bloodline and the catastrophic aftermath that could ensue, particularly when Mereoleona's blood coursed through Asher's body.
An Angry little Lion will surely thrash everything around.
.......................
After calming Asher, Mereoleona leaves the scene after telling Fuegoleon how to calm Asher easily. Asher's anger stems from his overwhelming emotions, often triggered by external stimuli. By distracting him before he reaches that boiling point, Asher's focus has to be diverted to prevent an outburst. Or perhaps introduce him to something new and intriguing, like a fascinating book, or give him food. Anything that can capture his attention and draw him away from the source of his frustration
As Asher indulged in his ice cream, his keen observation caught sight of Sekke making his way towards the restroom. Sekke's unusually cautious and deliberate movements raised suspicions in Asher's mind. In that moment, a realization struck him like a bolt of lightning—Asta was also using the restroom. Asher quickly connected the dots, arriving at a chilling conclusion: Sekke might be planning a covert attack on Asta.
'Screw you, Asta; because of you, my plans are ruined. " Sekke opens his grimoire and casts a spell.
Bronze Curse Magic: Sekke Poison Lizard
A lizard came out of his grimoire and started to walk away to attack Asta. When Sekke thought his attack would succeed, a fireball suddenly hit the lizard and disintegrated it.
"Eyesore, just what do you think you're doing?" Feeling Asher's cold, piercing gaze on his back, Sekke couldn't help but gulp, and beads of sweat appeared on his face.
Sekke slowly turned around while shaking, saying, "A-Asher Sama, this... I."
"Forget it, I'll just kill you."
Bah-Hah! Sekke felt like crying and was about to plead for mercy when Yuno suddenly arrived, forcing Asher to stop what he was doing.
"Asher, what are you doing here?" Yuno said curiously.
"Nothing, I'll leave, Uncle is finding me."
Sekke was so thankful that Yuno arrived on time, or else he would probably just ash now. He made a mental note to never cross paths with Asher again.
Yuno looked at Sekke coldly and said, "Get lost."
"Y-Yes!"
With that, Sekke hurriedly left, not wanting to associate with someone related to Asta anymore. Just in time, Asta finally came out of the restroom.
"Huh? Oh Yuno! Nice to see you! Let's go find Asher so we can say goodbye to each other!"
"Sure."
.........................................
"Oh, Asher! There you are!" Asta shouts, running towards Asher, while Yuno is following behind him.
Asher, who was about to leave with Fuegoleon and other squad members, turned around and faced Asta.
"You should rest that loud mouth of yours. Maybe you'll need it."
"Hehe, sorry, Asher, but me and Yuno just want to say goodbye. This is where our magic knight journey will start." Asta scratched the back of his head.
"You didn't just come here to say goodbye, right?"
"Yeah, we are here to seal our friendships and rivalries!" Asta said while extending his arm, and his hand was clenched into a fist. Yuno, too, joined the fist bump.
"What's this childishness? Also, I didn't say I would be your friend and rival."
"Even if you didn't say it, your actions said so. Plus, you look like a child; you have such an immature face and short height like Asta."
Asher felt his heart crushed into pieces. "You...! I'm not short! My goal is to become the strongest, not a wizard king. Being the strongest is cooler."
"You call us childish when your reason to become strong is also childish." Yuno scoffs.
"Come on, Asher, did you know that the strongest is also the wizard king? So we have the same goals!" Asta said with a grin.
"Don't be a baby and just connect it already. We're your friends," Yuno said while smiling sincerely at Asher.
Asta and Yuno's words seemed to poke something in Asher's heart. He's never had friends and doesn't know how to socialize. His peers always get intimidated when meeting him because of his cold attitude. No one wants to befriend him sincerely.
Asher pursed his lips and looked at Fuegoleon, who had been watching their interaction the whole time. Feeling Asher's gaze, Fuegoleon nods and gives a reassuring smile. He was well aware of Asher's struggle with making friends, so this is the best chance for him to have friends he trusts.
Asher clenched his fist and slowly connected his fist with Asta and Yuno's.
"Well... being the strongest Wizard King in history isn't bad."
