➨ Wait... you actually passed? Somehow, some way, you made it into the elite squad. The elite selective squad at that.

Maybe she has the wrong person. In your mind, there's nothing you did that was worthy of being a part of the Royal Knights. The first round you were in, you didn't do anything at all. Then, you lost the second one.

Still... as you stand with the rest of the people who passed, it feels nearly real. From the looks of it, neither Magna or Sol are here either. So the only one from your team was... Mimosa's brother. Asta and Noelle are here, along with a few more people you aren't acquainted with personally.

Mereoleona stood in front of the group giving the speech about how important this job is and what it entails. But you weren't listening to a single word. Your mind replayed both fights numerous times. You just wanted to find the spot where someone could've gone, "yeah she's definitely in!"

It didn't appear.

You glanced around. Nobody seemed to be having any visual turmoil like you were. They must believe that the hard work they put in got them to this point. That's true, that's exactly why they're here.

When your eyes landed on Klaus though, you stopped. Suddenly, you weren't thinking about your battles anymore. Now, the conversation you, him, and Yuno were having. The one about you being pinned as a traitor.

That was most likely it. You weren't here because you earned a damn thing. You're here so you can be kept under close surveillance.

Mereoleona's words started to become audible in your ears again, but she was actually just wrapping up. Or more so, she was interrupted by someone making a grand entrance. A late one at that.

There he is again.

"You foolish boy. You're late!" She yelled at him as he walked by him. Without warning she hurled a fireball in his direction. Zora blocked it with his trap magic and sent it right back. Mereoleona diffused it easily with a mad grin on her face. "Oh, do you take me for the fool?"

"Not at all." He stood adjacent to Asta. When he did, that's when you noticed the robe on his shoulders. Except it wasn't purple, it was... black. He's a Black Bull? Fitting.

Of course, this sent Asta up into a frenzy. "Hey! Why do you keep switching robes Xerx? You can't pick one and stick with it?!"

"First of all, my name isn't Xerx. Secondly, this is my true robe." He pretended to wipe dust off of it.

"Huh? How... when... What is going on? I've never even seen you at the hideout!"

"My name is Zora." He states. "And why the hell would I spend all my time rotting the day away in a dingy house with you people?"

Geez.

While they went back and forth, Mereoleona told you guys that there were new uniforms that you would have to wear. You were actually excited about that part so you wasted no time in following the crowd into the separate back room.

There were shelves with everybody's names on them followed by an envelope and a new extravagant robe. You walked up to yours and turned it over in your hand. It wasn't actually an envelope though, it was just a folded paper in the shape of one.

Congratulations Y/N!

I know your creation magic will be of good use in our battle with the Eye of the Midnight Sun. You were excellent in the exam and I'm proud that you were chosen as a recruit. Stay safe, and make wise decisions.
