Inside the arena there was total silence after Asta had easily cut through Sekkeis spell and declared he was going to be the wizard king, "Did he say he's going to be the wizard king, a commoner like him there's no way, he doesn't even have any magic" people started to mutter. Asta then looked at them annoyed.
"Did I stutter, I said I'm gonna be the wizard king" he said looking at the people doubting him.
"Get out of the arena, go home" people said annoyed as Asta's big anti magic sword went back into his grimoire as he walked away so the others could have their own matches. Medical wizards had already put Sekkei on a stretcher as they started to heal his injury.
"Not half bad" said Yami smiling.
"How did he do that, was that reinforcement magic" said Finral looking confused.
"It wasn't magic at all, the kids just in crazy good shape" said Yami surprising Finral that Asta moved that quick without using any magic.
Yuno smiled, "Hes not going to be the one to defeat you Asta, Iam" he thought as the matches continued.
Asta stood at the sidelines as he wathced other people fight in their matches, he looked surprised by the magic power that was being shown as someone formed a golem made out of dirt and one person was surfing around in the air with water dodging its attacks.
Yuno was standing at the side when someone around his age walked over to him wearing a short rhobe and his hair was grown out, "It seems you don't seem to have a partner yet, perhaps you an I can fight" Yuno looked to see him twirling a piece of his hair while smiling, "The names Salim".
The current match ended as Yuno and Salim walked into the middle of the arena, "Hey that's Salim, he's from a rich noble family" someone said as they watched the young noble walk to the middle of the arena.
"Shall we begin Yuno" said Salim as his grimoire opened in front of him. Yuno had calm look on his face as he stretched his right hand forward and his grimoire opened in front of him.
"Salim supreme beam" said Salim as giant round sphere of lightning formed above his head, he had a smirk on his face thinking this was an easy win, "Try and survive this Yuno" he said as the lighting sphere shot towards Yuno.
"Towering tornado" said Yuno as a giant tornado formed in front of Yuno surprising Salim. The giant tornado completely destroyed the round sphere of lighting and it moved towards Salim that sent him flying and onto the ground. After the tornado vanished Yuno stood there calmly.
"Incredible, is he really a commoner" some of the people said surprised by the amount of magic power Yuno showed.
"Way to show him Yuno" said Asta smiling.
After everyone had each taken their turn to fight it was now sunset as everyone who took place in the exam stood in the middle of the arena looking up at the magic knight captains.
"Now that the exam is complete it's time to decide which magic knights squad you will be joining, when your number is called step forward, if someone raises their hand for you that means you can join, if more then one magic knight captain raises their hand you can have a choice of which squad you can join" said William standing up from where he was sitting.
"However If no one one raises their hand for you then you must leave the arena and try again next year" said Charlotte standing up making some of the people look surprised that they might have to wait another year for a chance to join a magic knights squad.
The same person who officiated the matches called out everyone numbers. Not a lot of people got a hand raised for them, someone got accepted into the crimson lions and by surprising the captain of the coral peacock raised her hand while she still looked like she was sleeping.
"Number 164" said the announcer as Yuno walked forward after hearing his number. Then surprising everyone, all nine of the magic knight captains raised their hands.
"All of them" siad someone in the crowd surprised.
"I need to choose the path that will help me get close to becoming the wizard king" he thought looking towards the captain of the golden dawn, "It would be an honor to join the ranks of the golden dawn" he said.
The captain of the golden dawn smiled while some of the people in the crowd looked surprised that a commoner was able to join the golden dawn.
"Number 165" said the announcer. Asta walked forward with a sirious look on his face.
"I've come this far I can't give up now" he said looking up towards the magic knight captains to see none of them were raising their hands, they just stared down at him with sirious look on their faces. Asta started to sweat, "Just please raise a hand, anyone" he thought before the annnouncer spoke.
"Number 165, no hands". Asta just continued to stand there and shock as people started protesting for him to move, "Get out of here, come on its my turn next".
"I'm not done" Asta said looking down when a voice spoke above him, "It's no real surprise is it". Asta looked up to the the captain of the black bulls Yami was the one who spoke and was now looking down at him.
"People are afraid of a power unknown to them, no ones wants someone like that in their squad, what can you do, a kid without any magic" he said with a sirious look on his face as darkness covered the arena and a purple aura started to surround him. He jumped down from the second floor looking at Asta siriously. There was a wave of power surrounding the arena making the people looking surprised as they felt the magic power coming off him.
"Hey what are you doing" said Finral.
"It's like magic power is coming off him in waves" thought Asta looking sirious as he felt the pressure.
"We're you sirious before, that you wanted to become the wizard king, you know what that means right, your going to have to prove that your better then all nine magic knight captains" siad Yami standing in front of Asta, "Now magicless and powerless, can you really say it now, that you want to become the wizard king" he asked?
Asta clenched his fists as he looked to the ground, "Alright, so maybe I won't be able to join a magic knights squad today, but I won't give up, I willl become the wizard king" he said looking determined as Yami still had a sirious look on his face.
The darkness covering the arena and the aura covering Yami vanished, "Huh, haha" he said laughing, he then smiled pointing at Asta, "You know what kid I like you, come join our crew" he said making Asta look surprised.
"Huh" was the only thing he could respond with.
"Quit looking like an idiot I'm saying I'll let you into the black bulls" said Yami, "By the way you don't get to say no got it" he said smirking.
"What" said Asta starting to regain his senses.
"But it's not going to be easy, were going to work you to the bone and when all is said and done you go and become the wizard king" said Yami.
Asta's mind flashed back to when the former magic knight told him he couldn't be the wizard king, he then smiled knowing he was wrong, "Yes, thank you sir" said Asta.
Above where the captains sat the other captains didn't notice the captain of the blue rose knights smiling, "Good choice Yami" she thought.
That night Asta walked outside of the arena to see Yuno, "Well looks like this is it, your golden and I'm black bulls" he said.
"Let's see who wins shall we" said Yuno when a growling sound came from Asta's stomach.
Asta put his hands over his stomach looking uncomfortable, "Oh that grilled snake is coming back with a vengeance" he said running to find a bathroom. Asta entered the stall and outside in the hallway Sekkei emerged holding out his grimoire.
"Damn you Asta, because of you I got stuck with one of the lowest squads the green mantis" he thought as he opened his grimoire, "Well let's see how you like it when your stuck in bed for the rest of your life haha, Sekkei poison lizard" he said as his grimoire glowed with magic power and a blue lizard appeared at his feet. As the lizard got closer to the stall Asta was in, a talon made of wind grabbed the lizard shattering it. Sekkei looked up surprised to see Yuno holding out his grimoire with a wind eagle in front of him.
"What do you think your doing" he said looking annoyed.
"Uh I didn't get to see Asta before he left so I wanted to say goodbye" he siad trying to lie when the wind eagle got closer to his face.
"Your no match for Asta, so leave" said Yuno.
Sekkei walked out quickly. Yuno then walked out to the hallway hiding behind the wall as there was then a flushing sound. Asta walked out of the stall with a smile on his face, "Uh everything came out alright" he said. He then headed for the exit while Yuno did the same.
"Time to go" they both thought.
"How long were you going to keep me waiting, how long of a dump were you taking anyway" said Yami looking annoyed as Asta showed up outside. Finral and Gordon were waiting aswell.
"Uh you wouldn't believe it, it was huge but luckily everything came out alright" said Asta when Yami picked him by the head.
"I didn't tell you to describe it" he said looking annoyed, "Finral take us home".
"Yes sir" Finral said as his grimoire opened and pointing his hand forward a magic portal appeared big enough for people.
"Since you have no magic we're going to need a different way for you travel around" said Yami still holding up Asta by his head while Finral looked like he was starting to struggle.
"Yes sir" said Asta looking like he was in pain.
"Uh you can you guys hurry up, I can't hold this open forever" said Finral.
"What was that" said Yami looking at Firnal with an angry look across his face, "That sounded like an order, suck it up and push past your limits" he said as he threw Asta through the portal.
After going through Asta fell on the ground and looked up to see that he was in a forest. But in front of him was a large building with many floors and some of the parts of the building looked like they were sticking out. Yami, Finral and Gordon walked through the portal and it vanished after they walked through.
"This is our headquarters, why don't you go inside and introduce yourself" said Yami. Asta got off the gorund and walked up to the doors.
Asta quickly opened one of the doors, "Hello I'm Asta from Hage" he began to say when something exploded in front of him and sent him flying over Yami who looked calm as Asta landed face first into the ground behind him.
Yami looked back at him smiling as the fire from the explosion continued behind him, "Welcome to the black bulls, the worst of the magic knights squads" he said Asta looked into the building.
The room was the mix living area and a bar. There was someone jumping around on the railing of the seocnd floor, the man was short wearing a green shirt under his black bulls rhobe. Every time he jumped lighting would shoot from his feet as he dodged a fire ball.
The person throwing the fireballs had white highlights in his hair going down each side of his hair with black hair in the middle. He was wearing sunglasss, a black jacket was under his black bulls rhobe. He was hitting the fire balls at the short man with a bat that was made of fire.
Sitting against a wall looked like a tall man wearing a black shirt and blowed smoke out of his mouth when it opened.
Sitting near them was a short worm with black hair eating from plates that had a mixture of baked goods. She was also wearing a black bulls rhobe. There was a man sitting near the front wearing a purple shirt under his black bulls rhobe. There was mirror next to him as he looked at a small photo with his hair covering his left eye.
On a couch was woman wearing just her red bra and underwear. She had pink hair and there was bottle of liquor lying on the ground next to her.
"What kind of a squad did I join" thought Asta looking surprised.
Asta walked forward as the people in the headquarters spoke, "My snack will be avenged" said the man in the jacket trying to hit the one who was jumping around with lighting.
"Your going to have try harder then that if your going to hit me" said the one jumping around and continued to dodge the fire balls with a smile on his face as he laughed at the mans attemtps to hit him.
"Would you two keep it down your going to wake up my sister" said the one who was sitting next to a mirror.
"Could you keep it down, I got a killer hangover" said the woman in her underwear holding her head like she was in pain.
"I told you not to drink to much Vanessa otherwise or your going to feel that a lot" said the one in the black jacket.
"Well at least I can handle my liquor better Magna" said Vanessa looking annoyed.
Magan then went back to sending fireballs at the one jumping and then one of them exploded near the wall near Asta.
"Will you knock it off and quit breaking everything" said Yami slamming his fist into the wall making it break. It got the attention of everyone in the room and they all rushed forward, "Captain Yami" they all said.
"Did you bring back any newbies back captain Yami sir" said Magna.
"Sir how about you come fight with me, huh come on" said the one with lighting magic.
"Sir i would like to leave so I can go see my little sister Marie" said the one with hair covering his eye.
"How about a drink sir" Vanessa offered holding up a bottle of liquor and was now wearing her black bulls rhobe.
The tall one just flew out smoke while the short woman continued to eat cupcake, "Quiet" siad Yami slamming his fist into the wall making it collapse. The other black bulls then sat on their knees, "Introduce yourself kid" said Yami looking at Asta.
"Hello I'm Asta from Hage Village, it's very nice to meet all of you, I look forward to working with you and my dream is to become the wizard king" said Asta bowing.
"Did he say Hage" said Vanessa looking confused.
"That village is far away from anything" said Magna.
"Finral, introduce the others" said Yami looking at Finral who nodded.
"Well first of all I'm Finral, the one standing next me is Gordon" said Finral pointing at Gordon who was silent, "The tall one is Grey" he said pointing at the tall one who just blew out smoke in response, "There's Gauche" he said pointing at the one that's left eye was coveted by his hair.
Gauche stood in front of Asta showing the picture of a little girl smiling, "This is my little sister Marie, so much as look at her and your dead" he threatened making Asta look worried.
"The little one is Charmy" said Finral pointing at the short woman with black hair who was still eating her cupcake.
"Hello" said Charmy still eating.
"The lovely lady there is Vanessa" he said pointing at Vanessa who leaned close to Asta.
"So you were able to pass the magic knights entrance exam that's impressive, how about we hang out together sometime" she said smiling as Asta looked embarrassed since he could see most of her body.
"Uh no thanks" said Asta.
"The smiling one is Luck" said Finral potent at Luck who punching his fists forward.
"I wonder how strong you are, we should fight" said Luck.
"Magna" said Finral pointing at Magan who just stared Asta with a sirious look on his face, "And of course we have the captain of the black bulls, Yami" he said.
"We have other memebers, but some of them are either out on mission, wont just show up or their busy with something" said Yami.
"THANK YOU, I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL OF YOU" yelled Asta making the black bulls members cover their ears.
"He's loud" said Vanessa.
"Hang on, you want to be a black black bull your going to need one of these" said Magna holding up a black bulls rhobe.
"Whoa a real magic knights rhobe, gimme" said Asta.
"Not so fast, you want to prove yourself you'll have to go through the baptism" said Magna smiling while Asta looked confused wondering what he meant.
"Wait I actually have something to ask first" said Asta.
"You can ask after your done so let's go" said Magna.
Outside the headquarters all the memebers were accept for Magna were waiting. Luck, Charmy, and Vanessa we're sitting on a couch that was brought outside.
"Alright first up, 5000 push up" said Magna.
"Got it" said Asta as he quickly got down and did the push ups at a quick pace.
"5000 sit ups" said Magna and Asta did the sit ups at a quick pace aswell.
The next test Asta hit his head against a giant rock, "Uhh" he said holding his forehead in pain, "Wait I'm not done yet" he said hitting the rock harder making some of it crack before he rolled around on the ground holding his forhead.
"Well done" said Magna smiling.
"I passed the test great, now gimme that rhobe" said Asta quickly standing up.
"Not so fast" said Magna siriously, "Theres still one more thing you need to do" he said taking out his grimoire, it opened and fire ball formed in his right hand and a flame bat formed in his left, "You must either stop or evade this attack".
"Got it" said Asta as his own grimoire opened and he pulled out his big anti magic sword.
"It's big" said Vanessa while Charmy looked surprised.
Magna threw multiple fire balls with his bat and Asta dodge each one quickly without even having to use his sword, "Alright, now let's see if you can dodge this" said Magna as his fire bat vanished, he moved his hand over his grimoire making the pages move. A fire ball bigger then the last one started to form on his right hand, "Fire, exploding ball" he said throughing the fire ball towards Asta.
Asta gripped the handle of his sword looking surprised, "I'm so dead" he thought as if he cut through the magic he would still get hit. But he then gripped the sword as if his body was telling him not to give up as he swung his sword and hit the fire ball with the flat side of his sword. The fire ball was then sent flying back at Magna where it exploded after hitting him.
The members of the black bulls looked surprised that Magnas magic was sent flying back at him, "That's the first time in a while I didn't have to save one of the newbies" said Finral closing his grimoire.
"So the edge of his sword dispels magic while the flat side sends it back" Thought Yami.
Asta then looked at his sword surprised, "I had no idea" he thought.
"What is with that look" came Magnas voice from the fire, Asta looked surprised to see Magna walking out of the fire his eyes shadowed, his sunglasses gone and some flames on his black bulls rhobe, "I was able to dispel the magic in time, but that doesn't change the fact that I was nearly offed by my own magic you little" he said rushing over at Asta and placing his hands on his shoulder.
"What do I do, what do I do" thought Asta looking worried about what was about to happen.
But he was then surprised when Magna looked at him smiling, "Your pretty good" he said, "That was awesome Rasta, that some magic power you got there" he said slapping Asta on the back.
"Uh it's Asta and I actually have no magic" he said rubbing the back of his head.
"What" Magna said annoyed, "You have no magic power and were able to beat me anyway" he said before smiling, "That's even more impressive, you the man, I'm actually a commoner myself from the village Rayaka".
"That's even further out then Hage" said Asta surprised that Magna was from that far away.
"Hey you can't say much" said Magna.
"I think it's time for his second baptism, this time you'll have to fight me" said Luck punching his fists forward.
"Here you can have this" said Charmy offering Asta half of a cupcake.
"Wow thanks" said Asta taking the cupcake, he then took a bite out of it, "It's delicious" he thought smiling.
"Here you've earned this" said Magna holding out a black bulls rhobe.
Asta looked at it surprised, this was a rhobe that meant your a member of a magic knights squad and it was now his, "What are you waiting for take it" said Magna bringing him out of his thoughts. Asta took the rhobe and put it on.
"Now the finishing touch" said Vanessa waving a wand, the black headband moved aorund Asta's forhead moved around revealing a blank space, yellow thread went into the headband and the black bulls symbol was now on his headband.
"You're an official member of the black bulls, make sure not to bring any shame to the black bulls or to captain Yami" said Magna smiling.
"YES SIR, I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL" yelled Asta bowing.
"Shut up" said Yami looking annoyed.
"YES SIR IM SORRY SIR" yelled Asta again.
"What part of shut up don't you understand" said Magna when Asta stood back he noticed something Asta's forhead, his headband was lifted up a little revealing part of his scar, "Hey where did you get that" he said pointing to his forhead.
"Oh" said Asta noticing where Magna was pointing at, he lifted up his headband revealing the rest of the scar.
"Whoa where did that come from" said Luck.
"Yeah that looks like it was sirious" said Finral looking surprised.
"It's part of the question I wanted to ask" Asta said pulling headband back down, "I was on my way home one day after running an errand, then the last thing I remember was waking up after hitting my head on a rock and I lost my memory for when I was walking through a forest, I felt that what happenned there was important and do any of you have magic that helps with memory's" he asked looking hopeful?
"Sorry kid no one uses that kind of magic here, the only I know with that kind of magic works with the wizard king" said Yami.
"Oh" said Asta looking down.
"Hey don't look so down, if it's important I'm sure you'll eventually remember" said Vanessa.
On the second floor of the black bulls headquarters some one walked out to the balcony, it was Noelle who now wearing black bulls rhobe, she wasn't there for when Asta moved up his headband and couldn't hear what they were saying, "So that's the other new member" she said looking bored, but her look then turned to surprise when she looked closer, "Wait he looks like, Asta" she thought noticing the other new member of the black bulls looked like the boy she had met so long ago and wanting to meet again.
