Chapter 99: Langris Vaude
Just as he was about to end his brother once and for all, Langris suddenly felt the world around him go dark as a large presence oozing with killing intent suddenly appeared behind him.
"The fuck do you think you're doing to my transport?"
Hearing that cold and almost metallic sounding voice sent a shiver down his spine as every hair on his body stood up as the tip of a steel blade pressed against the back of his neck and drew some blood.
"Eh?"
Moments later Asta, Magna and Luck appeared with their weapons/magic drawn and looks of anger displayed on their faces. And for the first time since knowing them, Magna was not screaming, Luck was not smiling and Asta was unleashing a small but noticeable amount of killing intent that he picked up from the amount of time he'd spent around Grim.
Not to mention that Vanessa had Rouge spawned, Gauche wasn't looking at a picture of his sister, Grey wasn't acting shy, Gordon was speaking normally and Charmy wasn't eating. That was just how serious everyone took this matter.
"Finral!!" Noelle screamed with worry as she ran over to his side before covering her mouth with her hands.
'These wounds... How awful.'
"Oi." Asta said with the most serious look that Grim had even seen from him.
Magna also looked like he wasn't having any of it as he was mere moments away from scaring Langris's face with his flaming bat.
Magna: "Just try and do something else."
Luck: "And we'll forget the match and kill you."
Grim: "In the most gruesome way possible."
Looking at their positions now, it would be Asta at the front with his Demon Slayer sword aimed at Langris's chest whilst Luck and Magna stood at the side with both their fire and lightning magic ready to fry him. And of course Grim completed this blockade by stopping him from retreating backwards as his sword threatened to pierce through his nape if he made any sudden movements.
"Ah...Ha...Ha...Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Langris suddenly burst out into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
"TRASH!! All of you! You think your hot stuff just because you made it this far! Get out of my face before I-
"That's enough!" A sudden shout came from behind.
Hearing the shout, everyone suddenly turned around.
"W-Wizard king!" Asta exclaimed.
"Owen." The wizard king nodded to the man besides him who was wearing a doctor's coat.
Nodding his head, Owen ran towards Finral's side and started treating him with healing magic.
Seeing Owen starting treatment, Julius's attention returned back to Grim and the others.
"I can't trust somebody that would go easy on their comrades during an exam. But even more than that, I can't trust somebody that would try to kill their own comrade."
Feeling his eyes on them, everyone except Grim lowered their weapons and deactivated their magic.
"Grim." The wizard king called out. "Lower your weapon."
"..."
"Heh, didn't you hear him trash." Langris laughed. "Lower your weap-
*BANG!!*
Pulling his sword back, out of nowhere Grim slammed the but of his sword into the side of Langris's face causing him to fall to the floor.
"Grim!!" Everyone shouted.
Ignoring them, he raised his foot and mercilessly stomped down on Langris's head until it had been slightly buried into the floor.
"Wizard king." Grim spoke in a deep voice while grinding his foot into Langris's face. "I wanna fight this guy next."
"What!!" Everyone was stunned by Grim's request.
"I will kill you!" Langris screamed from below as he prepare to use a spell. But before he could activate it properly, Grim grabbed his floating grimoire out from the air and forcefully shut it, cancelling the spell.
"Grim, remove your foot."
Feeling the wizard king's gaze on him, Grim glared back at him before eventually complying.
Now the reason for this was simple. First of all, he couldn't beat the wizard king. Second of all, he knew that his actions today were already pushing it as he had injured several magic knights and had once again widened the rift between nobles and commoners with his speech. But the most important reason he stopped was because he needed the wizard king to approve the fight.
Contrary to expectation, while Grim did intend to save Finral from dying (he's a really convenient mode of transport), the real reason he came down was because of that sinister mana that Langris was giving off. For some reason... it reminded him of Licht and Fana.
Looking at the determination within his eyes, Julius couldn't help but sigh.
"Langris, do you accept?"
Picking himself up from the floor and brushing some of the dirt off of his clothes, hate, anger, humiliation, all these negative emotions swirled within his eyes as he looked at the carefree Grim.
Clenching his fists tightly and holding back the urge to unleash all his magic at once, through grit teeth he said "I accept."
First it was that magicless peasant that looked down on him during the diamond kingdom invasion and now its an arrogant peasant who thinks he better than nobility. Did they really think he was so easy to handle?! Was he so easy to mock!
Hearing him accept the duel, Julius nodded to some people in the distance so that they would make the preparations.
Opening a portal behind them, the spatial mage that transported all the examinees to the battlefield brought Fragil, Dark Lord Sekke, David and Selena over to where they were all located.
"Have a good time!!" The spatial mage laughed before closing the portal and leaving.
Surprised and disoriented by what had just happened, Fragil started looking around nervously.
"What's going on? I thought we had won the mat-
Just as she was about to finish her sentence, the words got stuck in her throat once she caught sight of a certain person.
"GRIM!!"
"Hmm? Oh, hey Tormenta." Grim smiled and waved when he saw her. "Its been a while, how you been?"
"You-YOU!!"
"Me?"
"I WILL KILL YOU!!"
"Bet?"
"AAGGGHHHHHH!!!!"
Losing any control see had left, Fragil's grimoire burst open as she activated a sp-
"Enough!"
Before she even knew what had hit her, the beautiful yet angry woman was frozen in one of Julius's chrono stasis orbs.
"Don't worry." He spoke to her. "You'll have your opportunity soon."
Hearing him, Grim couldn't help but frown.
"Why does it sound like you're rooting for her?"
Ignoring him, Julius gave David, Selena and Destroyer of worlds Sekke the run down of what had happened.
"Oh? So we're fighting next... Cool." As usual, David was very chill about the situation.
Selena on the other hand looked at Grim. Seeing as he was not panicking, she simply nodded her head in agreement.
Fragil had non-verbally consented to the match and Sekke of the Abyss also agreed.
"Very well, lets begin the next match."
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Arada
Arada Not much to say, Fragil gets her wish to fight Grim, Langris now has a personal vendetta against him cause he literally stepped on him and Grim gets to fight against someone he was interested in from the start. Its a win-win-win.
