"As knights, battle is our business," Fuegoleon continued. "We want to see everything you're capable of!"

"The match will end when one combatant either surrenders or is unable to continue," William added

"We have mages weilding recovery magic on standby if needed," Y/n chimed in

"So don't hold anything back!" Fuegoleon yelled

"Now, choose your partner!" William exclaimed

The other examinees in the arena started looking around for possible partners for the last test

Meanwhile...

'I've done nothing but stand around this whole time!' Asta internally panicked. 'The best way to show off now is to pair up with someone strong'

"Ha ha. Why don't you and I pair up?" Sekke placed a hand on Asta's shoulder

"You really mean it Sekke?" Asta cried, now on his hands and knees

"Absolutely Ha ha!" Sekke laughed

"Time for the first bout!" William announced

Asta and Sekke walked out to the center of the arena

'Oh Asta's up first' Y/n thought. 'Good luck'

"We're both working for the same goal, so we'll have a fair fight but nobody pulls any punches okay?" Asta grinned

Sekke laughed and placed a hand on Asta's shoulder. "Stop trying so hard. It's getting painful to watch. I guess I should thank you for sticking around and making me look good. Once I join a squad, I plan to kick up my heels and enjoy the ride.

Sekke walked over to his side of the arena, ready for the duel

"Now begin!" Y/n exclaimed

"Bronze Creation Magic: Sekke Magnum Cannon Ball"

A spherical structure formed around Sekke with a Canon poking out the front, aimed towards Asta

"Here we go," Asta says calmly

He shoots towards Sekke, pulling out the sword from his grimoire in the process and swings it down, cutting the spell in half and hitting Sekke as well

All the examinees gasp in shock, while Y/n and Yuno both have a smirk on their face

"Unlike you Sekke, I'm not joining the magic knights just so I can slack off and have fun," Asta explained to the unconscious boy at his feet. "I've got a much bigger goal. I'm gonna be the wizard king!"

'He's fast. Fast transportation magic?' William questioned mentally

'No magical enhancements there' Yami thought. 'This kid's just in crazy good shape'

'He's not the one who'll defeat you Asta' Yuno smirked. 'I am'

The crowd on the arena floor started whispering about him

"Is that a magic sword?"

"So he's not just some reject from the sticks."

"What's his deal?"

"Who is he?"

Recovery mages walks out into the arena with a stretcher, lead by Y/n

"Hey look at that. It's the wizard king's ADOPTIVE daughter. What a weakling she is!"
