An Elf Called Fatry

We'll Say You're the First

After the exam was over Finral went to find his father and brother, who had left the stadium soon after Finral was accepted into the Black Bulls.

"Father!" He said running to Ledior who was standing right outside the stadium entrance. "I did it!"

"Meraculously enough. You only managed to get that new captain to raise his hand and the worst part is he's a foreigner, unlike the other new captian, William Vangeance."

"He's probably just to lazy to fly places and thought it would be eaier to have a little pet packmule to take him every where. In other words, it's just pure luck that you even got in," Langris sneared.

"Y-yeah.... You're probably right," Finral said with a fake chuckle.

"There you are," Yami said as he exited the stadium. "I was looking for you. You know, running off after the exam almost makes it look like you're afraid of me or something," Yami teased.

Finral turned to face his new captain, "Oh! Uh, no sir. That's not it at all. I just...."

"Yami Sukehiro. The foreigner who thinks he's fit to be a Magic Knight Captain," Ledior interupted. "I guess you think just anyone is capable of being a Magic Knight. Did you not watch the same exam as I did?"

"Yeah, I'm Yami. And yes I'm a foreigner. Got a problem with that? Who the heck are you anyway?"

"I beg your pardon! I am Ledior Vaude, the head of House Vaude! A foreigner such as yourself should speak to me with more respect! Know you're place!"

"House Vaude, huh? Never hard of them. Then again, I don't really pay much attention to nobility," Yami laughed before turning back to Finral. "Anyway, ready to get going, kid?"

"Going where?" Finral asked.

"Where? The Black Bulls Hideout, of course!"

"Oh. Sure..."

"Absolutly not! No son of mine is joining a Magic Knights squad lead by a foreinger! Let's go Finral."

"Hey now. Isn't the kid fifteen?"

"So what if he is? He's my son and I say he's not joining your squad."

Of course. I get in and he's still not pleased.... Why can't I do anything right? Finral thought, turning his gaze to the ground.

Yami noticed the sudden change in Finral's demeanor. "What do you wanna do, kid?"

"You're asking me?" Finral asked, looking up to him a bit shocked.

"No, I'm asking the Tooth Fairy...."

"Huh?" Finral said tilting his head to the side.

"Yes, I'm ask you!"

"W-well... I... I...."

"Spit it out, kid. We don't have all day."

"I wanna join your squad."

"Sounds like the kid's got his mind made up."

"Tch. Do what you want, Finral. But don't come crying to me when you get hurt," Ledior said before turning to Yami. "I'll have you know that failure has absolutly no intent to hurt anyone, even if he has to. Do you really want a squad member who's that useless?"

"Useless? Last I checked, spacial magic is any thing but useless."

"Whatever. Don't try to tell me I didn't warn you when he gets in the way durring a mission and gets someone killed."

"Whatever you say, but I don't see that happening anytime soon."

"Finral, open a portal so Langris and I can get home. If you think you can open one that far away."
