Chapter 1: The Magic Knights

Authors note: Your Magic is "Shadow Magic". Similar to Yami's "Dark Magic" but...well...not really xD You'll see. ALSO, this takes place before Asta and Noelle join. 


I walk through the streets, my cloak hood up as I looked at the map in my hands and searched for the Magic Knights entry exam. I was both nervous and excited to enter and hopefully lie low for awhile. After finding where I was suppose to go I stuffed my map back into my bag and quickly made my way over. Once I entered I looked around, seeing all the people made me a bit nervous, but none of them I could sense were witches. I kept my hood up anyway just in case. I waited for the exam to start, sitting by a pillar and observing the type of people around. While I did I noticed there were a bunch of birds around, Anti-birds. None of them came up to me, making me a bit saddened as I would have liked one to land on me. I lifted my finger and then whistled softly, a small black aura coming from my lips and surrounding one of the birds. After a moment it left the person it was pestering and flew over to me, landing on my finger. 

"Whoa...did you just control that bird?" A man said making me jump slightly. I peered over at him through my hood and saw he was holding open his grimoire. 

"N-No...I just called it over..." I said softly, petting its head. "My magic is too strong to have them land on me naturally..." 

"Neat, say uh...whats your name?" He said while closing his book. I grimaced now, not really looking into chatting with someone who obviously was the flirting type. 

"I rather not say." I said while lifting my hand and letting the bird fly away. 

"Awh come on, I'll tell you mine~" 

"I don't care." 

"No need to play hard to get, I'm a nice guy." 

"Hey, leave the lady alone." A deep voice said, making me turn my head. A large...very muscular man approached us as he took a long drag of his cigarette.  "Or are you lookin to die?" His face now turned angry and terrifying. The power of his magic surged through the area making everyone look at us surprised. 

"H-hey man I was just being friendly." A man said while cowering. "I-I'll go." He quickly scurried off, leaving the taller and muscular man to grunt in satisfactory. 

"That's what I thought." His gaze now turned to me, making me freeze up. "You alright?" I nodded softly. "Not even a thank you?" 

"T-Thank you!" He grunted once more and began to walk off, following him was another man. My eyes locked onto him, he wore white make up, black lipstick, and black eyeliner all along his eyes. His red eyes met my (your eye color) eyes. We stared into each others eyes but broke the contact as soon as the announcer called for all contestants to come forward. The strange man continued walking as I stood up and went into the middle with everyone else. Each squad captain took their seat, each one looking unique from the other. As I watched I saw the tall man who shoo'd off the creep, he was a squad Captain! I noticed he was part of the "Black Bulls". Standing behind him was the other man, the one with the strange make-up. "Black Bulls." I mumbled softly. 

"Hey." A girl said catching my attention. "Don't bother with them, they're the worst of the worst. Aim higher, maybe the Azure Deers or the Coral Peacocks." 

"Are the Black Bulls really that bad...?" I questioned. 

"Just look at them...so creepy." She shivered. I turned my attention back to the Squad Captain, biting my inner cheek nervously as I wasn't sure what to do. Next thing I knew the Squad Captain for the Golden Dawns was explaining that the first test would be testing if we could fly on a broom. A very simple task considering I grew up flying on brooms. After the brooms were passed out we began. I stepped on my broom and allowed it to lift me off the ground. I wasn't fond of sitting on brooms, I preferred to stand. As I was I noticed people were struggling making me restless as I waited. After a moment I leaned back on the broom and wrapped me legs onto one side, allowing myself to hang upside down. I heard gasps and looked around, the squad members were all looking at me, anxious looks on their faces. I smirked a bit and decided to mess with them. I let go of the broom making them all gasp again but I quickly called the broom under my feet, catching me before I could hit the ground. I couldn't help but giggle at their worried looks. The Captain for the Black Bulls was the only one to start laughing as I sailed to the ground.
