Chereads / BLACK CLOVER THE RISE / Chapter 16 - CHOOSING

Chapter 16 - CHOOSING

After our fight the arena was restored thanks to Captain Williams magic , every one looked at us with fear and when we glanced at their directions they would look the other was trembling

after all the fight's were over , it was the time for the captain to choose the candidate who would become official magic knight , it seemed as though very few and I mean very few people that were gathered were chosen

it was time for Jasmin to choose she was a talented mage so she got a offers from 4 captains and major ones at that

1) crimson lion

2)the blue rose

3)Silver eagles

4)The black Bull

she chose to join the silver eagle for some reason probably because it was the one ranked highest among the ones she was offered

then came yuno turn , well a shocker came all the captain were interested in him joining their squad , l mean we did pretty good but to be chosen by all the captain's was a bit of suprise

after him came asta no one decided to come forth , probably because his lack of mana when suddenly asta face said his desperation but he was trying not to show it

"it should have been obvious " said Yami of the black bulls "but l am not giving up , and one day i will be the wizard king" every one except for the captain and we three were not laughing

Yami jumped down from the podium and Started to release his mana , it was powerful enough to frighten the weaker knight but...

"Asta looked into yami's eyes

"l may not be able to become a magic knight today but i some time in the future l will and then later l will become the magic knight "

Asta declared without looking down and with determination in his eyes this left most of the people to Chage their opinion of asta .A peasant without any magic withstanding the magic power of a magic knight captain while most people fainted greatly changed people opinion of him

it was true that the captain's were stronger than both yuno and me but thanks to Michelle's traning we could hold our self in a fight and Asta was a person who could keep up with our rate of growth so he wasn't intimidated to the extent were he lost his ground which seemed to impress Yami and he was able to join his squad

Then my turn came l stepped into their line of sight and all the captain's raised their hands i couldn't join the golden dawn or the black bulls because yuno and asta were already in then , lt will probably be crimson lion or the silver eagle

but l perfer the crimson lion more because the silver eagles tend to show a bit extreme noble oblige which i was not found of , but jasmin being there made me not want to leave her there alone as a commner l knew we will be discriminated so l wanted to be there for her ,

"I would like to join the silver eagles "i said Nozel shut his eye down and continued to be impassive and then after some time the magic knight entrance exam finally finished I met up with asta and yuno and we looked at each other with a smile

"This just the beginning you guys better train hard or i will leave you behind" said yuno with a smirk

"ya , i could say the same thing to you both " said asta with grin.

we then splited and met up with our respective captain, l greeted and payed my respect to captain NOZEL but he remained impassive ig that's to be expected considering I am a commner

l them saw jasmin looking at my side I smiled and said " Please do take care of me in the future" "Same , please do take care of me in the future" said jasmin with a shy smile
