Chapter 122 - New Robes

"WOULD YOU GUYS SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Mereoleona screamed at Zora and the rest of the black bulls causing them to apologize and stand at attention.

"Calm down kitty, no need to get so worked up." Grim smirked not caring about the looks the surrounding magic knights were giving him.

*Gasp*

"What did you just say?"

Turning her attention back onto Grim, Mereoleona's gaze threatened to burn a hole through him.

"I don't repeat myself."

Meeting her gaze head on, the two glared at each other until Mereoleona broke eye contact.

"I'll deal with you once this is over." She scoffed unable to completely hide her smile.

"Right back at ya." Grim grinned back satisfied.

"Even miss Vermillion didn't dare face him."

"I've never heard of her backing down before."

"What kind of monster is he!"

Hearing all the whispers around him, Mereoleona couldn't help but frown while the smile on Grim's face grew wider.

"SILENCE FOOLS!!" She roared instantly shutting everyone up.

"Right now you'll be recieving Royal Knight robes that are highly resistant to attack magic! Now line up like good little boys and girls and put them on immediately!!"

"YES MA'AM!!" They saluted and quickly formed a line.

*Whistle*

Throwing his hands into his pockets, Grim closed his eyes and started walking to the front of the line not caring about the people ahead of him.

"HEY YOU CAN'T JUST-

*OPENS EYE*

"KYAHH!!" Gripping his chest tightly, the magic knight who tried to argue back found himself on his knees as Grim's killing intent overwhelmed him. Finding it harder and harder to breathe, the veins in the man's eyes started to become more and more visible as his eyes balls started to pop out of their sockets.

"Hmm? Did someone say something?"

*THUD!!*

Fainting from the lack of air, the man landed face first into the concrete.

Seeing the man's current position and hearing Grim's question, every other magic knight quickly shook their heads a went back to minding their own business.

"Thought so." Closing his eye again, he continued his journey to the front of the line.

Watching him do that, Asta and the others were thankful that he was on their side. The other magic knights on the other hand were sweating bullets.

If he was like that to people he was supposed to see as his comrades, what would he do to the people he viewed as his enemies.

*Collective shudder*

"Seriously, how are you guys friends with this guy?" Zora asked after witnessing Grim's dominating presence.

"I know, isn't he amazing..." Mimosa sighed in an almost dreamlike state.

"Did he do something amazing?" Asta asked looking around confused.

"Eh? Didn't you just see what he did to that guy?" Zora pointed at the unconscious magic knight.

"Oh... Was that something amazing?"

"What?! You think that's normal!"

"Didn't seem that amazing." Luck chimed in. "Just Grim being Grim."

"Mmm." Klaus nodded. "I'm more surprised at the fact that he didn't cripple him."

"Yeah." Noelle agreed. "He didn't even pull his sword out or stab the guy, maybe he's sick or something?"

"I think he's just maturing." Yuno added which was weird. "From what I know, if this was the past he would have beaten that guy within an inch of his life. Maybe we're seeing some growth in him."

"Hmm... Maybe."

Seeing everyone nod and talk about Grim crippling and maiming a guy in such a nonchalant manner, Zora couldn't believe his ears. While he had seen Grim's actions and attitude during the tournament, he thought he had only acted like that due to the fact that he was fighting in a match!

Looking down at his magic knight robe and then looking at the same robe on Grim's figure, a single sentence ran through his mind.

'What the hell kind of people have I gotten myself involved with?'

[A/n: THE BEST!!]

---

After getting changed, Grim and the rest of the magic knights now dressed in their royal knight garbs stood before a grinning Mereoleona.

"Alright!! Now that you've finished changing, you can now proudly call yourselves Royal Knights!!"

"Whoo!!"

"This is the greatest moment of my life!"

"I made it mom!"

Listening to the cheers going on around him and Asta's complaints about his being so short. Grim couldn't help but wonder just how magic resistant this robe truly was.

[Breath of the Beast]

*Ripping noise*

"Oh?"

"What the hell Grim!!" Noelle screamed seeing his robe get shredded.

"What? Its not my fault this cheap material could withstand me using one of my weakest spells."

"COOL!! I wanna try!" Luck's eyes shone as he gathered a ball of lightning in his hand and was about to press it against his chest.

"Don't even think about it." Mereoleona's voice reverberated out as she glared down at Luck from the stage.

'This doesn't feel right.'

Slowly levitating off the ground, Grim started to float upwards until he was high enough to look down on Mereoleona.

'That's better.'

*Stare*

*Stare*

"..."

"..."

"What the hell is wrong with these two!" Zora couldn't help but ask and look to the others for answers. "This is like the fifth time they've just gone quiet and glared at each other!"

"Yeah... Even we don't know anymore." Noelle answered honestly.

"Ahem." Someone coughed behind Mereoleona.

[A/n: Corona!!]

"If you don't mind miss Vermillion, could you please introduce us."

Annoyed that someone was interrupting her glaring contest with Grim again, Mereoleona groaned and turned to look at the two people standing behind her.

Sighing loudly, she turned back to face the audience.

"Due to the usefulness of their magics, we'll be joined by Siren Tium and Cob Portaport."

'Who?' Grim had no idea who these people were.

[A/n: Siren Tium is the rock mage who got his shit rocked by the first dark disciple when they invaded the golden dawn, don't know if that memorable or not. Cob is the spatial mage who transported everyone to the tournament stage during the royal knight exam. Not really memorable.]

Continuing on, Mereoleona introduced the last person planning to join them.

"And last but not least, we'll be joined by-

"BRAIDED BANGS!!" Grim gasped seeing Nozel Silva walk up next to Mereoleona.

!!!

Hearing that ridiculous name once again, the vein on his forehead started throbbing violently as he looked up and saw Grim staring down at him with a mocking grin on his face.

"Sooo... How's your sister doing? You haven't seen her much right? Want me to tell you where she's been and what she's been doing? I bet you'd be really interested."

*BOOM!!*

Unleashing a shit load of mana from his body, Nozel's eyes turned scary as he looked Grim dead in the eyes and said.

"I WILL KILL YOU!"

"Hah, you will definitely try."

"Enough!" Mereoleona roar and stepped in forcing Nozel to take a step back. "I don't care what kind of problems you two have, but this is not the time!"

[A/n: Someone sounds jealous lol]

"And you Grim! Since we don't have enough time or materials to make a new robe, you're gonna have to wear that one."

*Shrugs*

"Fine by me, it looks better like this anyway."

[A/n: Imagine the royal knight robe equivalent to Ichigo's clothes when he uses his BANKAI!! (Original bankai pre thousand year blood war)]

"Good." She nodded and faced everyone else again and took a deep breath.

"ALRIGHT LISTEN UP!! YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW BUT WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS THAN VICTORY!! SO ANY OF YOU LITTLE SHITS WHO DON'T MEASURE UP TO MY STANDARDS! *Grins* I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF!"

*Gulp*

"FOR THE GLORY OF THE CLOVER KINGDOM!!"

"FOR THE GLORY OF THE CLOVER KINGDOM!!" Everyone but Grim repeated in union.

"THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! NOW LETS GO SAVE OUR KINGDOM!"
