Chapitre 87: Real men
Switching to [Breath of Water] at the last minute, Grim narrowly evaded Asta's mana homing sword and responded in kind by switching to [Breath of Wind] and creating an air bomb in the middle of his palm. Using that rotating orb of compressed wind magic, he slammed it into Asta's side and sent him flying into the distance before he could sink both of them into the magma.
[A/n: Lol, Grim pulled a Minato]
*BOOM!!*
Releasing all the stored up wind magic the moment the orb touched Asta's body, a powerful wind explosion occurred that caused the spectating Yami, Charlotte and Mereoleona to cover their faces from the gusts.
"Urgh."
"Tch, how annoying."
By the time the explosion had died down and after watching Asta get sent flying away, the previous battle intent that both Grim and Mereoleona had accumulated had subsequently simmered. Having Asta interrupt really ruined the mood and the two of them felt like the moment had passed.
[A/n: Damn you Asta!]
---
"Took you lot long enough! Now who's ready for the hot spring!!"
"YEAH!!"
Watching Mereoleona raise the spirits of the recently arrived Crimson Lions, Grim stood in the background next to Yami with a deadpan look on his face.
After the interruption caused by Asta, he felt like his fight with the raging lioness had yet to be completed and this left him with a feeling of emptiness.
While Grim was thinking about this, Asta stood next to Yuno grinning like an idiot over the fact that he had consciously entered his Black form.
Looking up at the darkened sky, Grim realized that night had fallen and the volcano seemed to have calmed down.
'Weird.'
"All right you lousy lot! You have my permission to bathe in the hot spring!!" Mereoleona barked.
Walking to the edge and looking into the area where the hot spring was supposed to be, Grim's face made a complicated expression.
"You call that puddle a hot spring?"
No sooner after he had said those words did steamy hot water burst from the puddle turning the entire area into a naturally formed hot spring.
"WOAH!!"
"AWESOME!!"
"COOL!!"
Seeing the hot spring form, Asta and the other Crimson Lions looked on with starry eyes while Mereoleona looked at Grim with a smug face.
'This bitch...'
While everyone was amazed at the sight in front of them, Sol, a member of the Blue Roses that Grim had previously fought when he raided their hideout was having different thoughts.
'Hol up! There are men and women here! Don't tell me that lady Mereoleona wants us all to bathe together!!'
"NO NO NO!!" She abruptly shouted catching everyone off guard. "Men are absolutely not allowed to see sis's clean and chaste body!!"
'Why does this bitch seem like someone who would enjoy the Witches Forest?'
Not getting an answer to his question, Sol's grimoire flashed open as she created a earth wall that divided the hot spring into two parts.
"Alright everyone! Into the water!!" Mereoleona yelled.
"HELL YEAH!!"
---
-Inside the hot spring-
"Think your so friggin cool huh! Well try this heat on for size!" Standing in front of Yuno, Leo was actively heating up the water and trying to break Yuno's cool guy façade.
"What are you talking about? Did you raise the heat or something?" Yuno said smugly while sweating intensely.
Sitting at the side, Grim watched them while recalling his fight with Mereoleona. FInally having a moment to think about it, he realized that he had made quite a few rookie mistakes. But more than that, he realized just how exceptional Ms lioness really was. Throughout the entire fight she had only used a single spell. Even Yami had to use two or three when fighting him, but she managed to completely dominate him using one spell.
'Why are all the people I'm meeting just getting stronger and stronger?'
It was a shame that he was unable to continue his fight with her as he felt that he was improving at a rapid pace. Compared to the second fight he had with her, in their third round he was at least able to leave a mark on her.
'Hah, well there'll be time in the future.'
Closing his eyes, a look of satisfaction finally formed.
After battling her he had learnt quite a few things. But the biggest thing he was able to take away from the experience was his new fire magic spell [Flame Tiger]. After acquiring this spell he finally understood why his lightning magic had been so stagnant over the past 6 months. Similar to his fire magic which was also growing stagnant, he simply needed to be hit by magic that vastly exceeded his current elemental resistance. Mereoleona's flames were hot enough to make him to sweat, getting hit by her naturally caused his masochistic ability to gain new spells to activate.
'So I just need to get hit by someone whose lightning magic is stronger than Luck's huh... Guess I better start searching.'
"Oi Grim!" Yami called out. "Stop day dreaming, we're about to go peeking." He pointed at the earth wall.
"WHAT!!" Several of the Crimson Lions looked at him horrified.
"ARE YOU CRAZY!!"
"DO YOU WANT TO KILL US!!"
"Quit making excuses!" Yami snapped. "If you were born a man, then this is something you must do! Even if it costs you your life."
*BOOM!!*
As if an explosion went off in their brains, a look of realization flashed onto the faces of the Crimson lions.
'So this is what it means to be a man!'
As Yami opened his mouth to continue speaking about how peeking on a woman's naked body was a sacred writ of passage for all men, holy music seemed to descend from the heavens as the light of the moon bathed Yami in its glow.
[A/n: WTF lol]
"No matter what kind of man you are, its all the same. You want to see them to don't you Mr. cool?"
"Not really." Seeing Yami look at him, Yuno quickly turned his head to the side as to not look suspicious.
"Is that so." Grabbing onto Yuno's head and beginning to squeeze, Yami began to go all gangsta on him. "Think you're to good to peek with us huh you little shit stain?"
"Please stop captain Yami!!" Asta jumped in trying to defend his childhood friend and rival.
"Yuno really doesn't want to see! Ever since he was a child he's only taken baths with other men!"
Hearing Asta say that, everyone's expressions changed when they looked at Yuno.
Seeing their expressions, a throbbing vein appeared on Yuno's forehead.
"Asta, you bastard. You really picked the worse way to phrase that."
Ignoring what they were saying, Leo was thinking about what his brother would do in this situation.
'My brother is the manliest man I know, would he peek?'
"No!" Leo suddenly yelled. "My brother wouldn't condone these types of actions! In fact, it'd probably send him into a rage and he'd try to stop us!"
"What the hell are you talking about? Shouldn't you be aiming to surpass your brother? Why would you copy something he would do?"
*BOOM!!*
Feeling a second explosion going off in his mind for the second time today, Leo jumped out of the water and led the charge.
"LETS SEE SOME TIDDIES!!"
"HELL YEAH!!" Everyone else screamed and followed behind him.
'Why are you all getting so fired up? And one of those girl's are related to you Leo.'
"Oi Grim." Yami called. "You coming or what?"
Thinking about it now, Grim was quite curious about the naked body of the woman who was able to beat him. Of course seeing the other girls naked would be a nice bonus.
"I'm in." He nodded and stood up.
---
"ARGHHH!!"
"SAVE ME!!"
"FORGIVE ME! FORGIVE ME!!"
*BOOM!!*
*BOOM!!*
*BOOM!!*
Watching the Crimson Lions getting tossed and beaten by the girls, Grim stood high in the air watching the bouncy parts of the naked women jiggle.
'Noelle's got a decent rack... Who would have guessed.'
*Sigh* 'If I knew it would have been like this I would have invited Vanessa and Mimosa... Maybe Rebecca as well.'
Rating the girls in his mind, Grim was struggling to decide whether Charlotte or Mereoleona was number one.
"FOR GOD'S SAKE SAVE US!!"
