Chapter 22: Chapter 19: Everything I Do Is For Her Well Being.
(A/N): Hi, guys! Did you watch the AOT final episode? How do you feel?
I didn't want to watch it because of its ending when I read the manga.
My poor luck—my friend was watching it on his laptop with full volume, which attracted me. Due to my poor control over my curiosity, I ended up watching it with him.
The ending hit me hard, and it's still playing inside my mind. My mood became low after watching it, which ended up making it difficult for me to concentrate on writing.
*****************************************************************************
Looking at Nozel, who wants Ben to teach his sister Noel how to control mana, Ben raises his eyebrow.
"Captain Nozel, can I ask you something, if you don't mind?"
Ben questioned Nozel, who nodded his head in approval.
"Well, you are from the royal family, so you can hire experienced teachers who are specialists in training mana. So why hire me?"
Ben didn't hold back and asked his question straight to Nozel.
When Nozel heard Ben, his eyes narrowed, thinking deeply.
'To protect her, I can't show more attention to her.'
Nozel thinks in his monologue about his sister's safety and how he sacrificed to protect her.
"It's because her mana was enormous, so she can't learn from an ordinary teacher. I was looking for a good person for that job. When I noticed you at the magic knight exam, you also had enormous mana, but your control over it was excellent. So I wanted you to be her teacher."
Nozel came up with an excuse for Noelle having huge mana as a reason for not teaching her.
'It seems like he misunderstood my transformation. Even though I have perfect control over mana, I won't call it excellent.'
Ben looked at Charlotte while thinking for a brief moment.
"Okay, Captain, I will train her to the best of my ability."
Ben accepted the mission, which made Nozel sigh.
Seeing Ben accept the mission, Charlotte smiled because she knew the importance of having connections.
According to Ben's talent, he will become powerful, and some self-prided nobles will try to stop or eliminate him before he becomes powerful due to his commoner background.
So having a good connection with royal families will prevent them from targeting Ben.
'Now I can be at ease.'
Charlotte was very relieved because she knew the importance of connections and also how those dirty nobles eliminated magic knights from commoners using silly reasons.
"You can leave now. Prepare your things; Captain Nozel will take you to the Silvia Manor."
Charlotte asked Ben to pack the things needed during this mission.
Ben nodded and left the captain's office.
After Ben left, there was a few minutes of silence.
The atmosphere became heavy between the two captains.
"Nozel, remember this: if anything happens to him in your place, including bullying or treating him badly, you better prepare."
Charlotte's face became expressionless, and her eyes became cold with a glint.
Her voice was very serious, which made Nozel raise an eyebrow.
"I hired him as a teacher, so you won't have to worry about it."
Nozel, with a snort, started to walk out of the room.
When he opened the door to exit, suddenly he stopped in his tracks for a moment and turned around.
"Why are you caring so much about the boy?"
Nozel asked Charlotte with a raised eyebrow curiously.
He knew how much Charlotte hated men, but now she was caring so much for them openly.
'Could it be... No, there is no way.'
Nozel shook his head in refusal, looking at the woman before him glaring at him intently.
He turned and exited the door.
Sigh...
After Nozel left her office, Charlotte took a deep breath with a crimson face.
Sol entered the room with the report of the missions the Blue Rose squad completed to submit to Ben.
"Sister..."
"____"
She accidentally spotted Charlotte who was murmuring to herself with a red face.
"What happened, Sol?"
Charlotte, who was caught off guard, immediately turned normal and questioned why Sol was there.
"Oh... I came here to deliver the reports I collected today."
Sol placed the reports on Charlotte's table with a happy smile.
Courtyard...
After packing his things, Ben arrived at the courtyard.
There, Ben noticed Nozel was waiting for him with a broomstick, which was unique.
Its broom was covered in silver, and the emblem of the Silver Eagle was placed at the head of the broom.
"____"
Seeing this, Ben was speechless because he expected a carriage, such as the one Charlotte uses.
'Well, brooms are the main transportation in Black Clover.'
Ben took one of the brooms from one of the broom stands where the brooms are kept.
"Follow me."
Nozel started to fly using his broomstick.
Ben nodded his head and started following Nozel.
Silvia Family House...
A girl was sitting on the couch in her bedroom, looking very sad.
She looked at the woman's portrait, which looked very similar to her, in her room while tears started to fall from her eyes.
She has a slender and graceful build with long, straight, flowing silver hair. She is Noelle Silvia's youngest sibling of Nozel Silvia.
"Trash, what's with that look? Can't even control your mana. You are a failure to our Silvia family."
A boy with an arrogant face barged inside the girl's room.
Seeing the boy who entered the room with an ugly smile on his face, Noelle began to panic.
"Brother... Brother Solid..."
Noelle was about to speak, but Solid slapped her before she could finish her sentence.
"Don't call me brother, you trash. You killed my mother."
Solid started to break the things of Noelle and left the room with an angered face.
All this time, Noelle didn't react; she looked down with teary eyes while her hands were trembling.
'What did I do wrong? Did I kill our mother? Am I the shame of Silvia's family?'
Noelle started murmuring with a depressed face while the maids entered the room and replaced it with new things without many reactions like it was a normal thing that happens every day.
Ben and Nozel arrived at Silvia's House.
He followed Nozel between the curious gazes around him.
While entering Silvia's house, Ben looked around it with an amazed look on his face.
"Lord Silvia."
A maid came forward and bowed her head respectively.
"He is Ben, a magic knight from Blue Rose who was personally hired to teach Noelle. Call her here."
Nozel said without any expression on his face.
"Yes, my lord."
The maid walked towards the upstairs to Noelle's room.
After waiting for a few minutes...
Noelle walked towards them with a nervous look on her face.
'Why did Brother Nozel call me? Who is the one beside Brother? He looks like a Silvia...'
Her eyes landed on Ben, who was looking around Silvia's house.
"Noelle, his name is Ben from Blue Rose. He will be your teacher from now on."
After noticing the arrival of Noelle, Nozel looked at her without any emotion on his face and introduced Ben to her.
Noelle looked at Ben with a curious gaze, waiting for him to rewrite or disgust on his face.
But to her surprise, he didn't frown like she expected but smiled at her.
"Ben, you can start her training whenever you feel like starting teaching."
Nozel left Silvia's house after dropping off Ben.
"Mr. Ben, follow me; I will take you to your room."
The maid asked Ben politely with a slight bow.
Ben nodded and followed the maid.
After following her, Ben arrived at the room that was allocated for him during his stay there.
After taking a short nap, Ben summoned Noelle to the garden of Silvia's house.
Noelle arrived a few minutes earlier than the time Ben summoned her.
When Ben arrived at the garden, he noticed Noelle, who was standing in deep thought.
She didn't even notice Ben arrived before her.
"Noelle, right? Shall we start your training?"
Ben interrupted her thoughts while waving his hand before her vision to get her attention.
"Ah... Yes."
She was startled by Ben's sudden appearance and nodded her head while looking down with little embarrassment.
"Noelle, can you show me your magic?"
Ben asked her with a gentle smile on his face.
"But it will..."
She was about to say she might hurt him, but before she could finish her sentence, Ben stopped her.
"Don't discourage yourselves. Believe in yourselves."
Ben started to give her a motivational speech to make her motivated.
'Believe in myself.'
Noelle looked down while she clenched her hand tightly.
