A few days passed by since the black bulls had their day off. The things went rather normally for them with the squad getting no missions for the time being.
Seeing this as a break from all his work Sekke decided to make up for all the days he was busy with his missions and focused on training which now included a few stances he copied from Asta and Yami.
He also helped Noelle along with Asta who still had shitty control over her magic, but still she was improving slowly.
-----------------------
Currently in the HQ's living room Seeke was having a chat with Asta and Noelle when suddenly all of them noticed Finral's magic portal opening in front of them.
"Oh, Yami-san is back." said Sekke as he looked towards the portal.
"Welcome back Yami-san." said Sekke as he saw the captain come out of the portal.
Yami on the other hand remained silent and smoked as he looked at Sekke and the other two.
"Alright everyone I have an announcement to make." said Yami as he gathered everyone's attention.
"Apparently a new dungeon has appeared in the clover king-"
'....A new dungeon...I need to carry all the gold that I can gather there.....new spells would be a welcome addition to the dark lord's power as well...And having Secre with me, it won't be a problem to locate the treasure room or something which will have a matching mana like me.' thought Sekke as he ignored what Yami was saying.
"You two, looks like the wizard king himself selected you two to take this mission." said Yami as he looked at Asta and Sekke.
Everyone in the room got surprised after hearing that as they looked at the two boys with shock.
"How the hell were these bastards got selected by the wizard king?! Did the two of you bump into him?" said Magna as he looked at the two of them.
"I understand about Sekke but how is even Asta selected." said Noelle as she looked at Asta with a doubtful look on her face.
"Oi! What the hell did you mean by that." said Asta as he looked at Noelle who just snorted and looked away from him.
"Anyways, Noelle you will be going along with them." said Yami.
"Huh? Me?" asked Noelle with a slight surprise in his tone.
"Everything will let you gain some experience." said Yami as he took a smoke.
"Luck, accompany them. You will lose your touch if you stay copped up too much."
"Really? Yay!" said Luck with a smile on his face.
"...Will it be right?" asked Noelle with uncertainty as she looked towards Luck.
--------------------
"Looks like that is the place." said Sekke as he saw the opening of the dungeon.
"Yay, we are here." said Luck as he walked towards the dungeon.
Sekke and the other two followed him as well and soon the four of them were in the dark cave.
Asta who had a torch with him lit it up and walked beside Luck.
"Hey can you not stick to me while walking." said Asta as he glanced at Noelle who was hiding Asta's shirt.
"Looks like a royal is scared of the dark." said Sekke as he glanced at Noelle.
"W-who said that I am scared of dark!" said Noelle.
"I never said that it was you who is scared." said Sekke as he chuckled hearing which Noelle growled and soon tripped her feet making Asta fall down along with her.
"Welp, there goes our source of light. Oi Luck did you find it yet?"
"Not yet." said Luck as Sekke and Luck walked side by side and were followed by Asta and Noelle.
"Oh, here it is." said Luck who found some light coming out some gaps in the wall and removed oneof the bricks which revealed the inside of the dungeon.
--------------------
"This place really is full of mana." said Noelle in amazement.
"It sure is." said Sekke as he looked around the dungeon with distorted space.
"I want to feel mana as well!!!" said Asta as he fell down on his knees and started complaining about his lack of mana.
Sekke and Noelle looked at him for a while before Sekke looked away from him and shake his head. He has tried to give Asta some of his mana using his sacred gear but that too didn't work on the mana less boy.

"STOP THAT LUCK!!" said Sekke as he saw Luck was about to step on another trap.
"Haha, that was fun." said Luck as he looked at the three rookies.
"How the hell was that fun?!" said Asta and Noelle in unison hearing which Luck laughed once again.
"Now then." muttered Luck as he started checking the area and soon his eyes turned dangerous.
"Want me to help you?" asked Sekke.
"No, I want to enjoy myself as well you know." said Luck knowing that Sekke must have felt the mana from the enemies as well.
"I leave the dungeon exploration to you guys." said Luck as he dashed towards the enemies that he sensed earlier.
"Wait!"
"Where are you going?!"
"Have fun! See you soon!!" said Sekke as he looked at Luck.
"Now then, looks like we are on our own." said Sekke as he looked at the other two rookies.
The two of them just sighed and looked at Sekke who have a fake cough and said, "By logical thinking I am promoting myself as the leader."
"Huh, how does that work?" asked Noelle.
"Taking into consideration that you don't have any co trip over your magic and the fact that Asta is an idiot. I think that it is logical for me to be the leader. Not to mention that amongst the three of us I have done the most missions." said Sekke.
"Hey what do you mean by I am an idiot! You bastard!" said Asta as he looked at Sekkewith annoyed look on his face.
"Anyway let's continue the dungeon crawling." said Sekke Ashe lead the group.
"I will show you that I am not an idiot!" declared Asta as he rushed forward with his anti magic sword in his hand.
"...Noelle what do you see?" asked Sekke.
"....An idiot." said Noelle with a deadpan look on her face as started triggering trap after traps.
"...If you want I can give you two some space to spend some alone time." said Sekke.
Noelle immediately blushed as she looked at Sekke with a 'furious' look on her face.
"W-What are you talking about?! Why would I want to spend some alone time with Bakasta!!" yelled Noelle.
Sekke looked at the noble with a teasing smirk and said, "I never mentioned that the alone time has to be spent with Asta though."
Noelle's blush deepened at that as she looked towards Asta which made her heart start pounding.
Sekke who looked at the royal tsundere flicked her forehead and said, "Don't get too overboard okay." He then looked towards Asta and said, "Asta! I will check some other route and will return back in 10 minutes! Make sure to keep our fellow rookie safe!"
"Alright! Leave it to me! Noelle come with me!" said Asta as he gestured Noelle to come towards him.
Sekke smirked and gave Noelle a slugh push and went with Secre to look at a different route.
"I am such a good guy. Aren't I Secre?" asked Sekke to which the bird just sighed.

"....I just left you guys for 10 minutes and you are already doing tentacle play.....man you guys are fast." said Sekke as he looked at his two teammates held up in the air by some tentacles.
