Reborn In Black Clover With Demon Slaying Magic

"MUTHAFUCKA!!!"

Waking up with a start, Grim accidentally sat up to quickly and bumped heads with a googly eyed Mimosa who was leaning over him.

"OUCH!!" She ġrȯȧnėd rubbing her forehead.

"Mimosa?"

'Wait a second?! Where am I?!'

"Eh?" Realizing that he was awake, Mimosa couldn't help by yell "GRIM!!" and pull him into a tight hug before quickly letting go due to feeling embarrassed.

"GRIM!!" Hearing Mimosa's voice, Asta, Noelle and Luck quickly ran over to his side.

"Hmm?" Hearing all the commotion, Yuno and Klaus who were discussing something in private both raised their brows and saw the once unconscious Grim sitting up.

Seeing his friends running over, Grim noticed that he was no longer at the Black Bulls HQ.

'That would explain why I'm sleeping on the floor and not a bed.'

Looking around the area that he was in, he realized that he and the others were in a spacious room surrounded by a large amount of magic knights from different squads.

"Who the hell are these guys?!"

---

After being briefed on the events that took place after he had passed out, he learnt that Mereoleona had grabbed him, Luck, Noelle and Asta proclaiming them as magic knights that passed the Royal Knight exam.

"So I lost to Mereoleona?"

'Was that the only part that he took note of?" The others all thought in union.

Not sure how he would react to the news, Asta and the others took a small step back as they nodded.

"I see..." He nodded... Then smiled... Then laughed... Then laughed with a scary tone.

"Um Grim..." Noelle called unnerved by his response.

"You're not angry?"

"Angry?" Halting his laughter, he tilted his head and looked at her like she was an idiot. .

"Are you kidding me! I not only managed to force her to use a whole new magic technique (meaning her older methods no longer work), I even fuċkɨnġ countered it!! I'M FUCKING ECSTATIC!!"

[A/n: Even when getting his ȧss kicked, Grim somehow still sees it as him coming out on top... I'm jealous of that mentality.]

*Clenches fists and grins*

"I'm getting closer and closer to that bitch's level."

Recalling the technique she used to beat him, the smile on his face grew wider as he was finally starting to see the limits of her power.

'One year... If I keep improving at the rate I'm going, I'll have totally surpassed her in one year!'

[A/n: That's only if her power doesn't grow for one whole year.]

Trembling with excitement at the thought of forcing that lioness down on her knees, Grim was having trouble controlling his mana as the other magic knights around them started growing uncomfortable and moving away.

But since Asta couldn't sense mana he stuck close and went over some other things that had happen on the way over.

"Someone else from the Black Bulls made it in?"

"That's what she said." Asta nodded.

[A/n: Michael Scott anyone?]

Now if this was a normal situation, Grim would be itching to find out who this mysterious person was who passed the entrance exam. But since he couldn't get the defeated look of Mereoleona out of his head, he just brushed it off and started daydreaming of how he would crush her.

Jumping into their conversation, Noelle threw in her two cents.

"Who do you think it could be?"

"Finral maybe?" Asta scratched his head thinking of other black bulls.

'Finral?'

'Isn't he still in hospital after getting his shit rocked by his brother.'

[A/n: I don't even know if Grim has any respect for Finral.]

While he was busy gathering his thoughts, he noticed that the surrounding magic knights were throwing several glances his way while also maintaining a certain amount of distance.

"I think they're still scared of you." Mimosa said noticing the direction he was looking in.

"Scared of me?"

Seeing that he was somewhat confused, her ears went bright red as she said.

"The Royal Knights exam..."

*Royal Knights Exam Flashback*

"That sounds about right." He nodded no longer giving the background characters anymore attention.

Just as he was about to go back to daydreaming, the sound of Mereoleona's voice interrupted him.

"LISTEN UP YOU NO GOOD WEAKLINGS!!"

"Huh?" Everyone's attention was drawn to the stage.

"I, MEREOLEONA VERMILLION HAVE BEEN APPOINTED CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL KNIGHTS!! FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE STANDING HERE RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO BECOME ROYAL KNIGHTS!! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE! FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS UNTIL THE EYE OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT, YOU WILL ENTRUST YOUR LIVES TO ME!"

'Don't have the right?'

'Hah! That obviously wasn't directed at me.'

Laughing to himself, Grim finally made it onto his feet and with fire in his eyes he stared down the lioness who felt his gaze burn into her.

'Oh?' She looked confused for a moment before spotting him.

*Grins*

'HE'S AWAKE!!'

Forgetting the next part of her speech, every magic knight started sweating as they felt the temperature around them sharply rise.

Seeing Grim and Mereoleona staring at each other, Noelle really wanted to hit them.

'Why do these two have to do this everytime they see each other!!'

Trying to cool herself down with water magic, imagine the surprise on her face when she saw her water visibly turn into steam the moment it was conjured.

'ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!'

While Noelle was growing frustrated at Grim and Mereoleona, a look of infatuation was spread across Mimosa's face as she clung close to Grim despite the heat.

His domineering, no fuċks giving attitude really made her want to submit and watch others bow to him... It was a side of her that she was just begining to understand.

Unknown to her, all the women of nobility seemed to possess this submissive trait.

Just as the two fire users were about to raise the temperature up even more, a sudden fluctuation of unknown yet familiar mana caught their attention.

"Eh?" Both Grim and Mereoleona looked upwards in union.

"SORRY I'M LATE!!" A screaming man yelled as he fell from the sky.

Annoyed that he was interrupting her and Grim's contest, Mereoleona flicked her hand in his direction and summoned a flame pillar.

"WHOA WHOA WHOA!!" Panicking slightly, the falling man created a magic circle that seemed to absorb some of the magic and used it to safely land infront of Asta and the others.

"Its XERX!!" Asta yelled seeing him.

"Its not Xerx you idiot.." The masked man grinned and looked at them. "It Zora! Zora Ideale of the Black Bulls!!"
