Chương 55: Magic Knights Entrance Exam(5)
Turning his head back, Asta saw a well-dressed man with purple hair glaring at him in anger.
Pointing at himself, Asta asked,
"Are you talking to me?"
"Who else could I be talking to, you wretch?" the man said with contempt in his voice. "I challenge you! I don't care that you're friends with the captain. Not only are you a peasant, but you're also mana-less. I can't tolerate someone like you in this sacred place, so I will stand against you. Will you accept my challenge?"
Hearing this, Asta felt anger rise within him but simply nodded his head.
"Good," the noble said. "Our match begins. Come, follow me," he said, leading Asta to the designated duel area.
When Asta and his opponent stepped onto the arena, the attention of all the captains immediately shifted to them. They knew who Asta was, but his opponent was unknown to them.
"Looks like one of those noble brats who despise commoners," said Yami.
"Yeah, I can sense the disgust from him," agreed Jack. The others either nodded or stayed silent.
And so, the match began.
Asta, sizing up his opponent, decided to draw only one weapon from his grimoire. Reaching into the book, he pulled out a shield. The shield was rusty, but after contact with the grimoire, it became darker, and the steel felt stronger. In the center, there was some kind of ruby.
Holding the shield in his hands, Asta took a defensive stance, still keeping his gaze fixed on his opponent.
Seeing this, the noble just smirked and opened his own grimoire.
"Exactly, you can only defend, commoners. So be it. I'll destroy you with my first spell!" he said, flipping through the pages. When he found the spell, he began to chant.
The captains, watching this, started commenting.
"Hmm, he's got a lot of mana, more than 90% of the exam participants, and he's putting a lot of mana into that spell," said Fuegoleon.
"True, but his personality is unpleasant. You can tell he's going to cause trouble," agreed Nozel.
At that moment, the noble finished casting, and a massive fireball shot toward Asta. Seeing this, Asta merely raised his shield to meet the attack. Flames began to rise around him.
The noble started laughing.
"Ha, this is what happens to those who underestimate me!"
But on the captain's bench...
"Wow, the kid is using that shield! Last time, I didn't get a good look at it to see what it's capable of. So it can absorb magic, huh?" said Yami, puffing on a cigarette.
"Yeah, last time we were a bit late," Jack commented.
Meanwhile, the others were observing attentively, and Solid decided to speak up.
When the smoke cleared, the noble noticed that his magic was gone, while Asta remained completely unharmed, no burns or injuries. He was simply staring at him.
Furious, the noble decided to barrage Asta with more fire spells, which Asta continued to absorb. This went on for a while until Asta gathered enough mana in his shield. At that moment, he suddenly took a stance as if preparing to strike. The shield was engulfed in flames, and Asta swung it toward the noble.
The eyes of everyone watching — Yuno, Noelle, and the captains — widened as an enormous wave of fire erupted from the shield and passed by the noble, tearing through the Colosseum wall and leaving a massive hole.
At that moment, the noble collapsed from fear, and in the end, Asta emerged victorious.
