New Bulls

"Don't forget you guys, no matter where we go from here we're all rivals." Asta said after we'd captured the stuck up nobles who'd attacked the church because their leader was pissed over not being the center of attention.

"Like we ever would. It's our sacred bond after all. It's a four way race so prepare to lose. Each of us have strong magic, now that we've gotten our grimoires it's an uphill battle from here on out."

For the next six months, Asta, Yuno, Zephyr, and Sakura each trained with their brands of magic in order to take part in the Magic Knights' Entrance exam in six months.

After massive amounts of training the day had finally arrived. It was time for the magic knights entrance exam. So far out of the quartet both Zephyr and Yuno were getting the most attention due to their grimoires since they both had four leaves.

It was time for the last test, the combat portion. Deciding it'd be boring to fight each other we each searched for someone else to take on. Asta went first with his opponent. It seems like he said something to piss him off, which is not wise.

"Bronze Creation Magic: Sekke Magnum Cannonball." The boy who apparently was named Sekke created a giant ball which works in both defense and offense.

It looks sturdy and strong but it won't work.

Taking out his grimorie Asta turns invisible to the surprise of those watching. As they begin to think that he ran away scared Sekke's cannonball cracks and begin to break, and after a few seconds it completely cracks open and Asta reappears with an invisible sword in hand and hits Sekke on the head with it knocking him unconscious.

"That Permeation Magic is certainly some scary stuff. Now then to find my own opponent." i look around for several minutes until one person catches my eye. 'He looks strong, time to test my metal.' Ignoring all the looks I'm getting for doing so I walk up to the girl and grab her attention.

"Need a partner? I've been looking for someone interesting enough to fight. You certainly grab my attention." I say once again ignoring the surprised looks from the crowd.

"How dare you, a lowly commoner dares to think he can speak to me in such a way, I'll show you your place by beating you."

"Sounds good, let's duel after this one." The people currently going toe to toe were Yuno and a kid who spewed arrogance. The fight was hilariously over in a second.

Moving up next I stand before my opponent, not taking out my grimoire until I see how this fight was going to go first.

"Such an arrogant male, you won't even bother to use your grimoire. No matter when I beat you I'll send it to you in the hospital. Lightning Magic: Thunder God's Peril." She casts her lightning magic, creating several halberds out of lightning and sending them all at me.

"Wow, you were right this magic is quite strong, but like with all spells its useless if it can't hit." Right before they hit me I jump up deftly avoiding them, or so I think and then they change direction and follow me.

"Looks like I can't keep stalling forever. Water Creation Magic: Neptune's Triana." I invoke my spell and a massive trident of water is created, rather sloppily since I don't have my wand on me, not that I need it I just like how it feels, and send it at the lightning weapons and immediately disperse them. Taking control of the falling projectile I direct it at my opponent and when it hits her I switch it and use restraint magic. Nothing fancy though, just the shape of two snakes.

Landing on the ground I walk away with a smirk before clicking my fingers and releasing her from the spell. I head over to Sakura who gives me a big thumbs up before heading into the circle for her battle.

"Your little friends' show was certainly interesting. I think I'll make him mine after I beat you." There's one thing people forget about Sakura, though she normally has a long fuse, try to bait her and it doesn't go well.

"Fire Spirit Magic: Salamander's Breath." Summoning her spirit she sends a large fireball at her opponent before she had a chance to defend herself knocking her out instantly.

That little show left everyone completely speechless as they didn't expect a spirit magic user much less one of the four great spirits.

A few hours later all the fighting was over and the selection process was underway. So far we've reached the hundreds with most of the potentials being turned down.

"Number 164." Yuno's number was the first to be called. As he stepped forward, to the shock of everyone he was chosen by all the captains. Which is quite surprising considering the heavy prejudice towards commoners especially those from the forsaken realm.

"I choose the Golden Dawn." I smile as I expected him to do something like that. Choose the path that's closest to the Wizard King, smart move.

"Number 165." Nervously Asta steps up as he's called. He looks up at the captain's and for a second it looked like he'd be turned down just like so many others. But to the even bigger shock of everyone he was picked by the last person anyone expected to raise his hand.

"No way, the Golden Dawn." Didn't see that coming.

"Number 166." Now it was my turn. I'm not that worried, although I refrained from using my trump card I know my chances were good. After a few seconds three captains raised their hands.

"I pick the Black Bulls." Before we came here today I knew that if I could choose the Black Bulls would be the best option for me since I wouldn't have to worry about the prejudice which surrounds most squads and I'd have the freedom to do as I please most of the time.

"Number 167." Sakura was the last of our group to be chosen, just like Yuno all of the captain's wanted her.

"I pick the Black Bulls." Honestly even I expected her to join the Golden Dawn like Yuno did. But with two of us on two different squads it should make our rivalry all the more interesting.

Stepping out of a Spatial Magic portal we landed on a path that lead up to the base of the Black Bulls which will be our new home. As I was about to open the door I sense something about to impact it and step aside, and just in the nick of time as the doors flew off and crushed the Spatial Magic user. Yami just laughs and says,

"Welcome to the worst of the worst magic knight squad."
