3rd POV

(Song recommended - mkaliez aldnoah zero or any sawano hiroyuki song)

Within a coliseum in which spectator watches a battle never before seen in their eyes. The fight was like a dragon confronting a demon.

They unsheathe their blade that started to be coated in their respected magic. The first was a muscle-bound man with a blade that was being coated with black fog that had a violet glow.

The man was tall with a very muscular build and had black hair of medium length that is messily combed backward, making it stick outwards. Additionally, he sports a stubble mustache and beard. He was smoking a cigarette holding it with the right hand.

He wore a simple shirt and trousers. The trouser has a layer of tan leather that covers his outer thigh and down the knee that met with two-part of black boots.

He had two belts one holding his layer tan leather while the other was for carrying his grimoire. The most eye-catching was his black banner around his should that has the skull of a bull.

The other was a young man who wore a similar sigil on his mantel. Underneath was still wearing a dark turtle neck but the right arm was the only one that is sleeveless. He had a long wild crimson red with some orange fringes sticking out, it dances in wind as their blade clashes.

He had two dark belts one is for his grimoire while the other was for his blade. His blade was pure black with bits of grey added to it with a guard was a cross shape. He also wore brown pants that had boots reaching his knee that made it a bit baggy.

He held his blade that was coated in dark fog with a chaotic red miasma mix to it. Their blade was clash like not letting any moment to waste they step back analyzing their opponent.

At the same time, both unleashes a series of slashes that shot black spells and said the name of their attack.

"Shadow demise magic – Damnation slash!"

"Dark magic – dark-cloaked avidya slash!"

They were evenly matched as it cancels each other's attack. The young man then disappeared and reappeared behind his opponent.

"Breath of hell 4th form – Avarice slash!"

Before it could slice his target but was instantly parried by another blade, not letting it stop him he spun around and made a reverse kick.

"Renewal taekwondo reverse hoechook!"

The impact was loud as it sends a gust of wind toward the direction of the kick. Yet his opponent was able to take the hit as he immediately increases his speed and spun around to dissect the young man but luckily able to dodge the attack.

The crowd was in disbelief at what they were seeing even the magic knights who were looking down at the spectacle.

"…I-I couldn't believe it t-that kid is able to hold his own with captain Yami!"

All the people present knew how strong each captain was and seeing one of their captain fighting new recruits is unbelievable.

"He seems to be holding back by a lot."

The one who said it was fugeleon, captain of the crimson lion. He was able to see in his very own eyes that the way the boy spoke it, exude a sense of confidence unlike any other.

"Indeed it is surprising how this commoner boy has this much mana."

The one who spoke was a masked man, william vengeance, captain of the golden dawn. He was observing the boy and calculating on how he would prepare if he became a problem for his plan.

None knew but he has another alter ego the leader of the eye of the midnight sun. He planned to destroy the human of this kingdom but anomaly came and he has to make some changes to it.

"For a man his power is impressive."

The one who spoke was Charlotte roselei, captain of the blue rose. She spoke in a cold tone but internally she was panicking seeing the man who stole her heart fighting the beast of a man yami.

Her heartbeat remembering the moment of how they met and how he able to remove the curse. She was glad that he finally returns as it's been a while that they had seen each other.

"I want to see if I could cut him into pieces!?"

Another spoke this time it was a skinny man. It was the captain of the green praying mantis, Jack the ripper. He was intrigued by the person fighting the one man he truly wanted to defeat.

The rest of the magic knight continues to watch as the battle rage on. None of them was taking any advantage of their opponent.

"You have gotten better pretty boy. Hey, you never told me your name."

"It's samshiel, captain yami."

While samshiel talking he took a deep breath while he boosts the magical power of his blade. He then made a series of slices in the blink of an eye.

"Breath of hell 1st form – Limbo+Shadow demise magic – damnation slash!"

Dozen of dark red wave suddenly shot from his blade towards yami but he was able to parry every single attack. Samshiel then dashes towards yami as made a diagonal cut upward but it was parried by yami's blade.

Samshiel wasn't taking this seriously neither did yami. Both of them respected one's refinement of their blade. Yami came from the land of the east and he knew how a man blade represents one's soul.

(A/N: I'm just spouting bullshit right now.)

The other participant watches in awe as they couldn't take their eyes of the power a captain wields. Sapphire who was watching alongside asta and yuno was enjoying the spectacle.

"Woah samshiel is pretty awesome when using his sword!!"

"I never have seen samshiel gotten serious before, this is…unbelievable."

Both yuno and asta were in awe front he power samshiel had which made sapphire chuckled a bit. Both asta and yuno look at her.

"Who said he's giving his all?"

Out of nowhere, samshiel could be heard as he said simple words that made the spectator look in anticipation.

"Let take this another level shall we? Shadow demise magic – rain of demise!"

He then uses a spell with grimoire that created dozen of floating dark javelin behind him. He then dashes while firing his shadow javelin towards yami that he just slices out of existence.

The dark magic that yami uses was affecting samshiel power as he was an 'Otherworld' the law of the world black clover was binding him with this.

Samshiel decided to use a ranged attack to at least worn him out but he was like Saiyan getting stronger by the minute!

"Damn here I thought I made our gap a bit closer but I was dead wrong!"

"Don't be like that pretty boy, you haven't used any other power you have."

"Haha I thought I could hide it but that's a shame."

He then decides to take this seriously and summon the robe of the sage. The spectators were shocked once more as they saw samshiel outfit change into a dark coat with an unknown symbol on its shoulder.

"You should try being a model with that look pretty boy."

Yami suddenly felt danger behind him that made him jump upwards as he saw a shadow with the shape of samshiel.

"Nice try pretty boy but cheap trick won't work on m-"

He stopped as he parries his blade with samshiel that appears out of nowhere with unimaginable speed. Yami suddenly felt another danger coming as a kick was aim at his head that he barely dodges.

"Renewal taekwondo hwechook+Velocity manipulation(replication!)"

The aftermath of the attack destroyed a large chunk of the roof of the Coliseum. The magic knight was taken aback how the sheer force of the attack.

"I'm not done! Repulsion force-"

Yami was push back by an unknown force as he tried to stop it by stabbing his blade into the ground.

"Attraction force+Renewal taekwondo arang!"

Then yami was pull back and knew he couldn't dodge as he decided to enhance his body to lessen the impact. With a deafening sound, the attack created a hurricane of dusk and debris that left the spectator blinded of the result.

After a few minutes, the dusk cleared and showed two people who were facing each other. Samshiel was heavily wounded while yami had few bruises here and there.

"Hey, pretty boy you really surpass your limits huh."

"this is tiring, why don't we take this seriously."

Both suddenly charge their power as everyone felt the surging energy of the two. Every single spectator thought of one word to describe the two. 'Monsters!'

Before anyone could attack each other the magic knight captain took action as they felt the immense collateral damage will occur if their attack clashes.

"Enough you two!"

"This is merely a test for the younger generation yami!"

"You men are really just brute."

Samshiel couldn't help but react to her statement as she looked at her deadpanned that made her slight blush.

"As for you boy, we are all impress of your prowess, we will surely be waiting when you climb up the ranks."

"Seriously you stop me when I was about to awaken something."

"If I slice both of you right now would it awaken something heh!?"

Then the young man couldn't help but click his tongue as he was quite disappointed not knowing who would have won. The magic knight was planning to fix the damage with magic but…

"Sapphire, can you fix the aftermath?"

The magic knights were curious about the participant's magic who defeated a noble without using any spell. The young woman stood up and approach the damages while opening his grimoire.

The magic eyes widen as they saw how the young woman was able to fix the damages as if it were never there. The magic knight thank her and continue the magic knight selection.
