Chapter 7 - Magic Knight exam (1/2)
”Did this low born ant just address me?” The fat noble turned to look at a member of his entourage.
”I... Well...” If this had been a normal setting, the fat noble's henchmen would have already have immediately started attacking the black haired boy that had just insulted his lord. But this was the magic knight entrance exam. If he started a fight here who knows what consequences he would face.
Luckily for him he was saved by the bell as the announcer suddenly called for everyone's attention.
”Sorry for the wait everybody.” Walking out from the background, 7 individuals walked out and drew the attention of everyone in the area.
”ITS THE MAGIC KNIGHT CAPTAINS!!”
”I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SEEING THEM FROM SO CLOSE!!”
”I CAN DIE HAPPY!”
'Magic knight captains huh?'
Looking up at the 7 figures, Grim felt his blood start to boil as his urge to fight slowly increased.
'The strongest mages in the Clover Kingdom...'
Doing everything in his power to hold himself back, Grim looked up at the figures and burned their features into his memory.
While Grim was busy holding himself back from attacking the captains, one of the captains wearing a weird mask with several feathers sticking out from it took center stage.
”OH MY GOD ITS WILLIAM VENGEANCE!!”
”He was the one who took the head of the enemy general in the last battle!”
”Its said that he's the closest to becoming the next Wizard King!”
”I heard his squad members love him!”
”Ah, I'd love to be selected for the Golden Dawn!”
”Don't be stupid! Only elites and nobles are selected for that squad.”
Hearing all the hype around him, Grim took a closer look at the masked man.
Opening his Grimoire, William executed a spell that caused branches to spawn and deliver wooden broomsticks to the examinees.
”Now then, lets us begin the Magic Knight Test.”
Hearing him, the fat noble turned to face Grim before walking away.
”Hmph, I'll deal with you later peasant.”
Normally Grim would hold his tongue and quietly bide his time, but after getting his grimoire and training for six months, he was feeling quite fearless.
”Wow, its surprising that you haven't choked on all the shit that comes out of your mouth.” Grim's words caused the noble to stumble and almost fall flat on his face.
”Y-YOU!!”
”Oh? Ugly and illiterate, us commoners truly can't compare to such a pig faced individual such as yourself. I bow to you sir.”
”You can't m'lord!” One of his lackey's stopped him before he could proceed. ”If you attack now you'll be disqualified.”
”He's right, we should on getting into the Golden Dawn and then we'll deal with this insolent brat!” Another one of his lackey's threw Grim a dirty look before trying to calm their boss down.
”Hmph! You're right, there'll be plenty of time to deal with this trash after we join the Golden Dawn.” The fat noble said before leaving the area with his entourage in tow.
”Heh, nobles seem like fun.” Grim laughed before also leaving.

Standing in line with a bunch of other test takers, they were told that the first test consisted of them being able to make the brooms that they were given fly.
”Anyone who can control their magic should be able to do this on feel alone.” William explained. ”This is the most basic form of movement magic there is. If you can't fly on a broom, you're not worth looking at.”
'How simple.'
Closing his eyes, Grim poured a portion of his mana inside the broom and commanded it to float.
”Hey, isn't that the guy with the four leaf clover?” One of the examinees commented after seeing Yuno standing on his broom with ease.
”Hmm?” Everyone looked over at him. ”To think a bumpkin like him could receive a four leaf clover...”
”Wait! Look at that guy!!” One of the examinees pointed at Grim who was doing a hand stand on his broom.
”What the hell!”
”Such control!”
