The return
"Whew, that was tiring." Finishing his last set of exercises, Grim took a dip in the lake before packing his bag and prepared to leave. The past 6 months he had spent here had taken quite a toll on him. After having gotten used to sleeping in a bed for the past 2 years, it was much harder to return to his rustic life than he had previously assumed. But that lifestyle ended today! Now that those grueling 6 months had ended, he could finally return back to civilization and attend the magic knight entrance exam!
Looking back at the lake surrounded by rocky terrain, a feeling of sentimentality struck. Fortunately it didn't last long and Grim quickly left the area.

"Its gone."
Standing at the place that Grim had previously been at, a young looking man with a red tattoo on his left cheek and patches of white in his black hair looked around the lake as if searching for something for something.
"Are you sure you felt a magic signature? The place seems kind of barren." Standing next to the young man was sexy looking blonde haired woman in an all black hat and furry skirt.
*Yawn* "I might have been wrong." The young man yawned and opened a portal behind him.
"Why didn't you tell me that before I was forced to tag along!"
*Shrugs* "I thought it'd be funnier if you had to miss your hair appointment."
"YOU!!"
"I'm gonna leave you if you don't hurry up." He turned towards the portal and began walking.
"Tch, damn you Rhya."

"Why are you back?" Was the first words that came out of Rebecca's mouth when she saw Grim walk through the doors.
"Y'know what Rebecca? I've had enough of your shit. I get that we're not friends and that your period seems to come about every other day, but you need to chill the fuck out!" Recalling some phrases from his jumbled earth memories, Grim started going on a rant that no one really understood. "At the end of the day you're just another basic bitch that doesn't understand just how average she really is. Are you cute? Sure. Are you fuckable? HELL YEAH YOU ARE! But besides that you don't really have anything going for you. If it wasn't for our boss's gentle heart you'd probably be working on some random street corner trying to provide for your siblings. And that's another thing. How many fucking kids did your parents have! I know we don't have condoms in this world but fuck me! Haven't they heard of the pull out method!? In fact its weirder that we don't have any magic to avoid this. Like you'd think there'd be an abortion spell or some shit but-" He started trailing off topic and left Rebecca, her siblings, the boss and the rest of the people in the restaurant stunned.
"And that's why we should name the first tank engine Thomas." He nodded proudly not noticing the expressions on everyone's faces.
*Silence*
"Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. I'm going to go prepare for the exam tomorrow so goodnight all. Oh! And fuck you Rebecca." He showed his middle finger before going upstairs.
"....I think he likes you." One of Rebecca's little siblings commented.

-The Next Day-
Leaving early in the morning, Grim left a note to the boss thanking him for everything he'd done for him for the past 3 years. He also left one for Rebecca reminding her of just how much of a bitch she was. He felt really refreshed after that and left with his head held high.
"So this is where the future magic knights start their careers..." He muttered after arriving at the testing site that oddly enough resembled a Colosseum from earth.
'Weird.'
"WHAT'S WITH THESE DAMN BIRDS!!" A loud scream drew everyone's attention.
"Hmm?" Turning to look at the origin of the screaming voice, Grim was quite surprised to see a gray haired boy being attack by a bunch of birds.
"GET THEM OFF ME!!"
Standing a bit away from the boy was an amber eyed boy with messy black hair. Looking at the two of them, Grim couldn't help but frown as he felt a weird sense of familiarity from them. But before he could ponder on it any further, a rich looking fat guy and his entourage barged his shoulder and pushed him to the side.
"So then I invited her to dance with me at the royal ball." The fat man laughed and played with his mustache not even noticing what he had just done.
"Wow!"
"As expected of our lord."
"Haha, even Miss Mimosa couldn't resist your charms."
"Of course she couldn't! What woman in their right mind could resist our lord?"
Listening to the praises he was receiving, the fat man couldn't help but laugh loudly as a disgusting smile etched itself onto his face. In truth, the only reason Mimosa had agreed to dance with him was because she didn't have the heart to reject him after he stopped the music to ask her to dance.
Unfortunately his praises were cut short by the next sentence.
"Oi piggy, its common courtesy to apologize when you bump into someone."

While Grim was confronting the fat noble man, the gray haired was busy dealing with his own problem. After running around trying to get the anti-birds off him, he accidentally ran into muscular black haired man smoking a cigarette.
"Ah! There you are Yami." A man with dirty blonde hair called out to the black haired smoker.
"Hey, isn't that the spacial magician Finral Roulacase?" A member of the crowd spoke in a hushed voice.
"Yeah, and isn't that guy besides him Gordon Agrippa?" They motioned to an emo looking guy wearing black lipstick.
"Wait." They all looked back at the black haired smoker. "Doesn't that mean that that's the captain of the Black Bulls: Yami Sukehiro?"
