Kaida's POV
It's been a long seven days traveling with these two stubborn jerks. I guess on the Brightside I got to see the new spells in my grimoire. Whatever happened after I blacked out I'm thankful for. Once I figured out I had new spells Asta made it known he was going to compete with me until we got to the kingdom same with Yuno. Once we reached our destination I could feel the nerves and excitement reach my stomach.
'this is it. I'm going to have to prove myself in front of 9 squad captains and get at least one to think I'm good enough to be a magic knight. I would be lying if I said I didn't already have the squad I wanted in mind. The blue roses, I heard their leader was strong and independent. She took nothing from anyone and that is definitely the type of person I want to train under. '
"Are you okay?" I feel Yuno stand next to me. "huh. uh yeah sorry I guess I got lost in my mind for second there. Let's get to the kingdom I'm sure Asta will explode if we don't hurry." and with that I chased after Asta and Yuno for the millionth time it feels like.
We made it to the exam and waited in line to show our grimoires to get in. As I looked around me I seen dozen of young mages heading to the exam and my anxiety only spiked from there. After Yuno makes his little scene with his four leaf clover I walk up to the window and hand mine over. "I'm kaida from hage village" I grip onto my bag a little tighter feeling like someone is watching me I look around to see nothing.
"Here you go number 166" the guy says handing my grimoire back. We walk into the arena to see even more mages in the area. I'm frozen to my spot. My eyes are racing around look at all the different people. The sharply dressed nobles down to the small town villagers but the people I really wanted to see weren't anywhere to be found.
I get drawn away from my crowd watching when I hear Asta screaming about.... birds? I run over to try and help but before I could he runs into the biggest man I have ever seen. It takes me one look at him to know he was Captain Yami of the black bulls.
'Damn it Asta why did you have to run into that guy of all people. I guess he'd really hate it if his rival got in the way right...' "Aaaha that hurts" Asta shouts as Captain Yami grips his head tighter. I feel a tightness in my stomach as I grip my fists till my knuckles are white. My eyes narrow as rage washes over me like a violent wave but it's not my anger its...
'Don't be a cowardly little worm your friend needs your help or was I wrong about you' Dansu's voice rings through my ears as if he was standing right next to me. I look up to meet captain Yamis gaze and I can feel mana slowly pouring from me courtesy of Dansu. 'Shut it dusty if he wanted Asta dead he would've done it by now. The man isn't known to be the god of destruction for nothing' I think as I draw my mana back in.
Asta grips Yami's forearm to were you can see his veins bulge from his arms. Captain Yami continues to count down until two more men from the black bulls walk up and take their captain away before any real damage could be done.
" you're more stupid than I thought you're lucky to be alive idiot" I laugh a little knowing damn well that's just how he is. Before he could respond our attention was drawn to the balcony where the squad captains were taking there seats. 'so the exam is finally starting. Let's hope I can catch at least one of their eye's...' I look to my right where Asta was standing to see him talking to a blond man with a headband on.
All the captains settled into their seats except for one. William Vangeance Captain of the Golden Dawn. He steps forward and begins his speech "Attention, examinees! Thank you for waiting. I will be administering this year's exam." " Magic tree's descent." The once clear sky becomes dark and cloudy. Branches begin to grow from the clouds and steadily become brooms as they reach us.
