Hey there. RQ thank you all so much for giving my story a read. That´s all. Enjoy
Percy stood in Line to receive his Number. Finally, it was his turn, he showed the mage his Grimoire and received the number 120. He went into the Arena where all of the mages stood and waited. He looked around and quickly found himself day dreaming. After what felt like eternity he was snapped out of his dreaming by a voice. "My Name is William Vengeance. Welcome. Now let's begin. World Tree Magic." With a green light there grew a tree and from its root dropped a bunch of brooms. "Every respectable Mage can fly on a broom, as long as he has control over his or her magic." Wiliam said. Percy looked at the broom suspicious. Zeus is not here so I think I can fly without getting blasted. He sat on the broom and stretched his Magic out towards the broom. Said broom now fuelled instantly shot upwards. Percy gripped the broom more tightly and focused all his efforts to not fall of. After that the rest of the tests were quite easy to handle.
Finally, one of the captains raised his voice. "The last task is a one-on-one fight. We have the best healing mages on standby so don´t hold back. You may now choose your opponents" Percy smiled at that. He looked over all the participants until his gaze found someone standing on the corner, still alone. He walked over to the boy and stretched his hand out. "Hey, my name is Percy. Would you mind fighting against me?" The boy sneered at him and said with visible distaste "Why not you seem like an easy win." Percy shrugged and waited for his turn. He blended out all the matches and thought about a strategy for the fight. Although he didn´t know what kind of magic this prick used, he knew that the boy thought himself better than himself. Percy smirked and a plan formed in his head. Finally, he and his "partner" were up. They walked to the middle of the Arena and readied themselves.
As soon as they got the signal to start Percy started taunting the self-absorbed boy. "You know I thought about not using my magic at all to beat you. But I kind of want to show the captains what I got. I mean not that I think I can show a lot considering how you look." The taunt had the desired effect and the boy turned red with anger. The boy opened his Grimoire and called out Beast Magic: Tiger slash. Out of the book shot a Tiger and sprinted towards Percy, with its claws outstretched. Percy simply sidestepped and kicked the Tiger sending it flying. "Oh nice Kitty you got there. Say you think I could pet it?" The boy seethed and screamed out Beast Magic: Gorilla Punch. Now there was a Gorilla charging at Percy. As soon as it reached him it threw a punch at his head. There was a loud boom and smoke rose from the ground. The boy grinned smugly and called out "Ah a big mouth but nothing to back it up." Everyone watching muttered in agreement. As they all wanted to turn around waiting for the next match they heard a laugh.
The smoke settled and there stood Percy with the fist of the Gorilla caught with one hand. "Ok kid, my turn." He said and tossed the gorilla away as if it were a toy. He took out his Grimoire and a few people gasped at the sight of the four petaled clover. He opened the book and spoke calmly Poseidon´s Magic: Wrath of the Sea. A giant tidal wave rushed from Percy and swallowed his arrogant opponent. The wave kept going until it hit the Wall of the Arena and spit out the unconscious boy. Percy mock bowed to his opponent and strode back to his spot.
He ignored all the looks and the muttering. His thoughts were wandering the rest of the matches only shortly snapping back when the Fire dude explained how the choosing worked. Finally, his number was called. He went forward and looked up at the Captains of the Magical Knight orders. He didn't have to wait long as almost all the Hands went up. Everyone gasped, he himself also was a bit confused. He knew he did ok but that everyone except the Silver Eagle wanted him was unexpected to say the least. He knew from his talks with Yami, that the people dislike foreigners here.
He looked at each of the captains till his eyes met those of Yami of the Black Bull. He smiled and said loud and clear "I choose the Black Bull." He heard a few confused yells, but he didn't care. He nodded at Yami and went to the designated area to wait.
After the Ceremony was over, he and an energetic Boy were the only ones who went into the Black Bull. As they waited for Yami, Percy looked at the boy and offered his Hand. "Hey there, the names Percy." "Hey, I am Asta. Nice to meet you." All but screamed Asta. "Likewise" said Percy. After the little Introduction Yami and two others with the same robe as him came towards them. "Welcome to the Black Bull." Said the normal-Ish looking one, while the other one looking like the biggest emo Percy ever met muttered some unidentified words. "Thanks" Percy and Asta said in unison. "Well as nice as this is, we got to be going. Come on Finral." Said Yami a bit sarcastic. The normal looking boy now with the name Finral opened a silver portal, through which Yami and Emo went through. Percy walked through the portal and found himself in front of a big House, Yami and the rest beside him.
Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the Door flew out of its angles. Percy heard shouting. Something about pudding. He followed Yami to the whole which was once a door and watched in silence. A boy with feet encased in Lightning jumped through the House dodging fireballs, which were fired by a punk looking Boy. In the corner a boy with nosebleed shouted at them to shut up so he could admire his sister in piece. A small looking girl was eating mountains of food, brought to her by sheep with chef's hats. A Giant was sighing which caused smoke to come out of its mouth. And to top it all of there was an almost naked Girl sitting on the couch nibbling on a wine bottle.
Finral sighed and said, "Looks like they are going at it again." Asta breathed in deep and took a step forward and shouted "Hello everyone. I am Asta from the village of Hage. It is nice to meet you all". Percy snickered at the zero reaction from everyone as they just continued to wreck everything in the fight. "Stop breaking my HQ!" shouted Yami and punched the Wall which shattered into a million pieces. Percy snorted at the irony.
Everyone immediately stopped and turned towards the new arrivals. "Yami" all of them exclaimed and rushed forward to greet their Captain. After they all greeted him, the focus shifted to the new faces. Percy deciding to let Asta go first he waited for the boy to finish his introduction. "Sup´ I am Percy. I am eeh not exactly from here." Everyone stared at him, and he had a lopsided grin on his Face. "Soo… who are you all?" Percy finally deciding the silence went on for long enough. With that everyone introduced themselves. The lightning Kid´s name was Luck, and he apparently was a fighting fanatic. The Fire bat´s name was Magnus, and he had some kind of thing with manliness, whatever that meant. The Giant just sighed but the nosebleed guy introduced himself as Gauge and the Giant as Grey. I decided to stay away from Gauge for a bit, like for real that sister complex he had was creeping Percy out. The eating girl introduced herself as Charmy and offered him some food which he gladly took. The half-naked Girl came over stumbling a little bit and got really close in Percys face. To be honest she reminded him of Dionysus. If he were a Women. She was called Vanessa apparently.
After all the introductions were made Magnus stepped forward and said that they had to complete an initiation ritual. As long as they don´t try to dunk me in a toilet thought Percy smirking at that memory. He and Asta quickly agreed and went with Magnus, the others trailing behind them. As it turned out the ritual was just some Push-ups and stuff like that. Percy and Asta completed them with no Problem whatsoever. After they did the physical exercises, Magnus took out his Grimoire and looked at both of them expectantly. "So, who wants to go first?" Asta immediately went forward, and Percy let him have his fun. After a short battle in which Asta certainly dominated Magnus was beaten. He got his robe and Percy stepped forward. Percy readied himself and took out his own Grimoire.
Magnus stared at it "No fair. You have a four petaled one. Luck helps me out here." "Fine with me" Percy said, and Luck stood beside Magnus a manic grin across his face. At the go Luck shot forward only to be met by a dome of water surrounding Percy. Poseidon´s Magic: Skylla and Charybdis with that there was a flash and a woman with multiple Dog mouths shot with incredible speed at Luck and carried him high in the air. At the same time a big hole with sharp watery teeth opened underneath Magnus and swallowed him hole. After a few seconds Magnus was spit out again and a tendril of water caught a wildly flailing Luck and lowered him back to the ground.
"That was so manly" broke the pregnant silence and everyone started talking at once. Everyone congratulated Percy and Asta. Percy got a Robe of his own and immediately put it on. They all went back to the HQ and Charmy prepared a Barbecue to welcome the new members.
