The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 6 Magic Knights Test 1

Without Ciel's intervention, Asta defeated Rebuki just like in the original story.

Rebuki's strength was only so-so, and Asta knocked him down with one strike of his sword.

Asta, who had just obtained the Five-leaf Clover Magic Book, did not exert his true power at all. He only relied on the power of the Demon-Breaking Sword in his hand.

That was the sword magic from the Elf King Richter, the former owner of the Clover Magic Book, not the counter-magic of the demon who resided in the Clover.

Now Asta can only use a trace of the anti-magic power stained on the sword, and his true awakening will have to wait until he can develop the black state. Only when he and the demon Libe become one mind can he fully master that power.

Demons without magic power gave birth to the power to resist magic power because of their hatred for demons. Ciel was very curious about it.

The following days were much duller, Asta and Yuno practiced hard respectively.

Asta worked hard to practice his sword skills near the demon god's skull, while Yuno used wind magic to chop wood into a hill next to the church.

The two of them worked so hard, of course, for the Magic Knights entrance test to be held half a year later.

In the Clover Kingdom, there is only one organization responsible for protecting national security and maintaining national order, and that is the Magic Knights, which is directly affiliated with the Magic Emperor.

These nine combat-specialized magician groups are also the ideal destination for all magicians in the kingdom.

Speaking of how this system of kings and magic emperors sounded so familiar, the Daimyo and Kage next door said they were experts!

The only difference is that the relationship between the royal family and the Magic Knights is closer. Because the royal family all possess powerful magic, they will naturally occupy a large number of high positions in the Magic Knights.

The only way to become the Magic Emperor is to join the Magic Knights and accumulate achievements. So both of them worked hard to prepare for the exam.

There are no restrictions on registering for the exam. As long as they are over fifteen years old and have a magic book, everyone in the Clover Kingdom can register.

But the test of the Magic Knights is not that easy to pass. Rather, the courage to take the test will screen out a large number of people.

After all, not everyone is like Asta who insists on his dream regardless of everything. "Self-knowledge" is sometimes a good thing, and it can always make the timid succeed in comforting themselves.

While everyone in the church was reluctant to leave, the three of them began their journey to the royal capital.

Haji Village is the Huiwai District within the Huiwai District, and is really not close to the Wangdu. It would take a lot of time to walk to the Wangdu just on one pair of legs.

Hurrying slowly, the three of them finally arrived in the royal capital the day before the Magic Knights' entrance test.

Ciel, who has seen modern big cities, will certainly not look down on a royal capital that only has medieval civilization. At most, he can appreciate the exotic customs.

Asta was different. He showed great curiosity from the moment he entered the royal capital, and his admiration never stopped.

There are few people in the capital like Asta who don't hide their countryman style in the royal capital. Passersby don't know whether to express their contempt or not.

The Clover Kingdom is a very class-oriented country, and the entire country is divided into three tiers.

The first level is the royal realm where kings and nobles live, which is the castle area separated by walls in the center of the royal capital. Of course, the headquarters of the Magic Emperor and the Magic Knights are also there!

The second floor is the flat world where civilians live, which is where the three of them are now.

The third level is the outside world where Haji Village is located. The people living there are called subordinates. Just by hearing the name, you can tell what kind of existence it is like in the Clover Kingdom.

Asta looked at the Wanggui Realm Castle from above and said, "Is the Magic Emperor living there?"

Yuno said: "Maybe the king is here too."

Charles smiled, these two guys actually regarded the king as a dispensable existence! But the shabby king was indeed... indescribable.

Asta said confidently: "That means that one day it will become my castle!"

Yunuo said without giving in, "It's my castle."

Asta seemed not to have heard what Yuno said, and said, "When the time comes, I will let Yuno live in too! And of course, Ciel!"

Yuno smiled rarely and replied: "This is my line!"

Charles touched his chin and said, "Then I've earned it. You two have to work hard!"

The three of them were walking and talking and laughing. Asta suddenly noticed something and ran to the side.

Ciel looked over and saw Asta running in front of a stall. There was a charcoal fire on the stall, and a few skewers of unknown things were grilled on one side.

The stall owner was an old woman with squinted eyes. She looked like an ordinary old man. But Charles felt like he was looking directly into the abyss.

Seeing that Ciel was stunned for no reason, Yuno patted him and asked: "What's wrong Ciel?"

Charles came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just saw a great big shot!"

Yuno was confused. Just when he was about to ask, Asta, who had bought the roasted purple snake skin, had already returned. And Ciel also turned and left.

Old woman? Who kind of old woman would have such a terrible feeling? Maybe she came out to encounter magic again! So Charles guessed.

At the stall, the old woman raised her head and looked at Charles's back with a smile.

"Has it been discovered? An amazing child also appeared this year. I really want to know what magic he used!"

Julius Novancrono, the 28th Magic Emperor, is also looking forward to encountering unknown magic today.

The venue for the Magic Knights' entrance examination is easy to find, and the huge building like an arena is also very famous in the royal capital.

The three of them arrived not too early, and soon there were three people in line to register.

When Yuno and Ciel took out the four-leaf clover magic book, they clearly felt the intense gazes of everyone around them. Even the person in charge of registration put on a smile and helped them register.

However, when he arrived at Asta, his magic book was almost questioned as to whether it was actually a magic book.

Just like the original plot, the number Yuno got was number 164. But it turned out that Asta’s number 165 fell into Ciel’s hands, so Asta’s number was naturally number 166!

Soon everyone entered the venue, and soon a large number of black birds flew down.

These black birds quickly surrounded the candidates in the venue. The difference was that there were more birds around some people and fewer around others.

"Hey! Look at those two people, there's not even one of them!"

Someone noticed something unusual about Yuno and Ciel, pointed at the two and shouted loudly. Everyone looked over and couldn't help but start to admire them.

Yuno frowned, the current situation made him a little confused for the first time here.

Charles smiled and explained his confusion: "These are magic-avoiding birds. They are a specialty of the examination room. They will haunt people with low magic power. So these magic-avoiding birds can be regarded as the first link of the exam!"

Yuno nodded to express his understanding.

At this moment, Asta suddenly said: "Which one of you or me can become the Magic Emperor? Now is the beginning of the legend, Yuno!"

That's what I say, but...! Asta is in quite a mess right now. There are only three or five demon-avoiding birds surrounding the others, and there are at least a dozen of them surrounding Asta.

One even got into Asta's collar, apparently treating it as its own nest. Who in the room could be more popular with demon-avoiding birds than Asta, who has no magic power!

Just like in Haji Village, the jeers reappeared after hearing Asta's words.

Perhaps because he was used to it, Asta didn't pay attention at all. His problem now was that the demon-avoiding birds around him were too enthusiastic, which made him particularly embarrassed.

"It hurts, what's going on with these birds? Damn it, don't follow me!"

Asta ran away without looking at the road and bumped into a person.

The demon-avoiding birds that were chasing Asta turned around and flew away as if they had seen something scary.

Just when Asta sighed that he was saved, a big hand grabbed his head and lifted him up.

"Kill you! You brat!" The man said with a terrifying black aura coming out of his body.
