training and magic knight entrance exam

STRONG MAGIC ZONE : ULTIM VOLCANO

yami :"finally! i made it here, it took me 1 week on a broom to get here"

this is the strong magic zone ultim volcano . due to the powerful mana embedded deep underground this volcano is constantly spewing forth lava .

in 6 months is the magic knight entrance exam, although yami can pass with his skills as he wanted to get stronger he came here to get stronger.

although it is the outer region of the strong magic zone, yami can still feel the heat invading him. yami takes a deep breath and he releases his mana and form's a protective layer around his body .

[mana skin]

yami :"so this is mana skin, huh? i should be able to manage this"

' my brother told me that in the anime yami was scouted by julius but i haven,t even met the guy. i guess i am already starting to make changes to the plot'

yami run's straight into the volcano

*BOOM!*

yami dodge's a stream of lava shot at him. a mana lifeform appear's before yami in the shape of a humanoid made up of lava. yami quickly fire's his magic

[dark magic : dark cloaked lightless slash, barrage]

multiple magic attack were launched at the lifeform and yami was able to kill it by decapitating it.

yami : "this really is hell, i guess it's time for me to push past my limits"

<<TIME SKIP 5 MONTH'S>>

yami was walking through the capital toward's his magic knight entrance exam venue. the streets were crowed with people cheering for the examinees taking the test. with how he look's and his grimoire yami gained a lot of attention.

yami entered the venue and there were a lot of anti-birds giving others trouble but none of them came toward's him . waiting for some time the magic knight captain's made a grand entrance and everyone focused their attention toward's them.

the only one i recognized among them was captain of the grey deer and future wizard king julius novachrono . julius stepped forward and announced

julius :"now then, we will begin the magic knight test. we are going to test you on a number of different things . we nine captain's will be the one's to look over what you,re doing. and when all is said and done, we'll choose who we want for our respective squads. and whoever isn't chosen by any of us, please understand that that means you've failed."

julius lift's his hand and broom's come flying down to the examinees

julius:"your first test is, to use that broom and fly. anyone who can control their magic should be able to do this on feel alone. this is the most basic form of movement magic there is to a mage. if you can't fly on a broom, then you are not worth looking at, now then let the magic knight entrance exam begin"

the test's were

1 : flying on a broom

2 : magical ability exam

3 : magical ability control exam

4 : creation magic exam

5 : developmental magic exam

yami stood out as he was the best in every exam. no one else even came close. all the captain's had their attention on him

julius :"and now we have come to the final part of the exam. this test will be a fight. pair up any way you want, you'll fight it out with whomever you pick. a magic knight's job is to fight, so show us exactly what you're made of."

the other's were pairing up, but i was avoided. then an arrogant guy came and said

mob 1 :"hey you! commoner fight me! i will show you the difference between a noble like me and a peasant like you"

yami :"sure why not!"

yami and the boy took their place's and the referee announced the start of the fight.

mob 1 :"this is true power,peasant"

[WATER MAGIC : WATER SERPENT]

a serpent made of water formed around him and it shot toward's me.i enhanced my legs and shot toward's him while dodging his attack. in a second i reached his back . before he could react i launched my attack

[DARK MAGIC : DARK CLOAKED LIGHTLESS BLUNT STRIKE]

my attack knocked him out. everyone was surprised by how fast the match ended. after a movement of silence the referee announced

referee : "the winner is yami sukehiro"

after my match all the other matches weren't really interesting. after the matches ended julius came forward and said

julius :"and that concludes all the matches. now to the selection's. when your number is called, come forward. whichever captain want's that tester, please raise your hand. the choice to enter the squad that choose's you, as well as choosing between multiple squads,if that happens is up to you and like i said before if no one raises their hand, you've failed this test."

referee : "now then number 1, step forward"

the participants were called one by one. a lot of them failed and finally it was my turn.

referee :"number 128 step forward"

i stepped forward and looked at the captains, 6 of them raised their hand and julius was among them . looking at him i could tell he was very interested in me probably because of my magic because it's very rare.the other three captain's looking at them i could tell they hated me because i was a commoner and i did better than the noble's and those three were royalist's.

yami :"i wish to join the grey deer"
