Black Clover: Starting from the Sign-in

"Hey, you beggar! Do you have a problem with what this noble is saying? I'm doing this for your own good!" Roland's expression darkened, and he said, "You should be grateful that our vice-captain intervened and let you sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor."

In Roland's eyes, this was a golden opportunity that adventurers could only dream of.

However, as this thought crossed his mind, the first thing that caught his eye was Kuroha's warm smile.

"Is that so?"

"However, I'm afraid I prefer to handle my own business."

With a step forward, the magic dormant within Kuroha erupted like a raging tide.

The wave of pressure felt as though it could crush everything in its path.

Feeling the sudden immense pressure, Roland's expression changed drastically.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

The most important thing was, under this immense magical force, Roland, unable to withstand it, instinctively collapsed to his knees, as if drowning.

As Kuroha slowly approached, the overwhelming pressure continued to rise steadily.

"This... is this magic?"

Feeling the change in the atmosphere, not only Roland but even Noel's expression shifted drastically.

She had witnessed Kuroha's skill with a single glance in the tavern.

But she never expected it to reach such a level when he fully unleashed his power.

The sensation was something she had only felt when in the presence of her brother, the King of the Silver-Winged Griffins.

What made Noel most envious was that Kuroha was the same age as her, yet he had awakened such vast magical power, and was able to control it with ease.

This completely shattered her previous understanding.

Of course, this was all just Noel's inner thoughts.

Before she could regain her senses, the enormous magical pressure that had been crushing them suddenly dissipated like a receding tide.

Roland, feeling as if he had been saved from drowning, struggled to push himself up, gasping for air.

He was drenched in sweat.

"Ha... ha..."

"What's wrong, my esteemed noble? Don't you think I now have enough qualifications to carry out my own task?" Kuroha smiled gently. "Or should we measure who's more powerful?"

Looking as if what had just happened was nothing, Kuroha spoke with a calm expression.

"N-no! It was my mistake. I'll lead you to our vice-captain now!" Roland, his face pale, quickly shook his head.

At that moment, his noble status was completely irrelevant.

After all, under such overwhelming strength, he had no confidence that he would leave alive if Kuroha wanted him gone.

Based on the magical disparity just now, Roland believed that this so-called beggar's magical strength could rival their vice-captain's.

In Roland's understanding, this was simply impossible.

"No need. Your vice-captain is already here." Kuroha looked up toward the sound of a broken wind.

The earlier magic release, though brief, had definitely attracted the attention of Roland's so-called vice-captain.

However, Kuroha hadn't expected that the person intercepting his steel mission would be none other than the second-tier character from the original story—Mimosa Vanmirio!

In the original work, Mimosa had joined the Golden Dawn through selection, and compared to the half-hearted Noel, she was a true noble genius.

She was part of the Vanmirio family, one of the three royal families of the Clover Kingdom.

And she was also Noel's cousin.

"Noel, cousin, what are you doing here?" Mimosa, arriving on a magic broomstick, looked startled at first, then quickly called out in joy.

Noel had always been deliberately ostracized in her family, but she and Mimosa had been close since childhood.

Mimosa had often secretly observed Noel's training in magical control, which inspired her to put in more effort herself.

It was because of this that Mimosa had often helped Noel when she was sidelined.

However, because Mimosa not only had vast magical power but could control it perfectly, and also had the aura of a healer, she was extremely popular in the royal family.

If one had to make a comparison, Mimosa and Noel were worlds apart.

Otherwise, Mimosa would never have had the opportunity to enter the prestigious Golden Dawn, while Noel would not have ended up in the bottom-ranked Black Bull Guild.

But before Noel could even rejoice, Mimosa's sharp tongue kicked in again.

"Noel, cousin, your magical control has always been lacking. Do you know how dangerous this place is? Does Noel's older brother know you're here?"

"With your magic control, I'm worried you'll get hurt, but don't worry, I'm here. I'll definitely help you heal, Noel."

As Mimosa delivered a crushing blow with her words, Kuroha helplessly rubbed his nose, looking at her large chest.

Now he understood what it meant to have a big heart but no brains.

She was the epitome of the "sweet but silly" type.
