Chapter 2117 The First and the Ninth

The probability of selecting magic knights is very low. One group will only accept two people, and nine groups will accept eighteen. However, there are many people who come to take the exam, at least two or three hundred. Most of them are nobles, with more minor nobles and fewer major nobles.

So there are all kinds of contempt chains on the scene, and Asta and Yuno are at the bottom of the contempt chain. Finally, it is time for actual combat.

Asta finally has a chance to show his ability. He must kill his opponent in one move. As long as he uses his anti-magic sword, he can solve the battle with one move.

Asta's opponent happens to be the kind of defensive magician who will not actively attack, which is a free gift. No matter how strong the opponent's defensive magic is, it is not worth mentioning in front of anti-magic!

With one sword, he knocked down the magic and the person.

Everyone was silent for a moment after being knocked unconscious by the heavy sword, because they did not feel the magic, but this country bumpkin from a remote mountain area did knock down the minor noble. Even if the minor noble was not competitive, he would not be like this. What did that kid do?

No one could understand, but the nine captains of the Knights would not accept Asta just because he defeated the little noble. After all, he had no magic power, and he was only fighting against an arrogant guy in actual combat. This kind of thing was just a coincidence and it would not happen again.

The first time was because he was not prepared. As long as he was prepared, the boy's level was no match for the magician.

The game continued, and Yuno still performed well.

Finally, the captains selected the members they liked. Only those who were selected had the opportunity to become members, and those who were not selected could only go home.

Asta was very nervous, because this time it had nothing to do with his subjective initiative, after all, he didn't know how others evaluated him. He would also worry about his performance.

In fact, he performed very poorly, after all, he just defeated a guy who was good at defense. That guy didn't hide at all, and stood there and was beaten down. He was an idiot.

First of all, it was Yuno. The nine captains all hoped that Yuno could join their group, because the four-leaf magic book was very rare, and Yuno's performance was also very good. If he was trained well, he would definitely be a strong general.

All nine captains raised their hands. Now it was not the captain who picked Yuno, but Yuno who picked the captain. Everyone had no choice but to envy him. Who made them not as strong as Yuno?

Yuno naturally picked the strongest Golden Dawn, after all, his goal was the Magic Emperor.

When it was Asta's turn, none of the nine captains said anything, which made Asta's heart stop. He crossed mountains and rivers just to join the Knights. If no one chose him, he would go home and grow sweet potatoes.

At this time, a little bit of luck is needed. Only hard work and confidence are not enough. Luck is also very important. It can be said that Asta encountered the best era, because in this era there is a Magic Emperor who is determined to build an equal country, and there is also a captain who is promoted by the Magic Emperor and does not value his identity.

The leader of the ninth Black Bull Group, Ye Jian, was born as a fisherman from abroad. He has been wandering in a foreign land since he was a child. If the Magic Emperor had not taken a fancy to him, he might always be just a fisherman.

Ye Jian was influenced by the Magic Emperor and hoped to help him realize his wish for equality. He established the Ninth Magic Knights in the hope of establishing a place of equality regardless of origin. Of course, his group became a gathering place for various problem teenagers. Now Ye Jian is looking at the young Asta and is ready to give him a chance. He knows very well that what the magic group needs is not strength but ideas.

If Asta can really unswervingly take the Magic Emperor as his goal, then he is likely to become the right-hand man of the Magic Emperor.

"Good eyes, but this is a world where magic is everything. You dare to participate in the selection without magic. You are very brave!" Ye Jian's magic pressure is on Asta, letting this kid see what kind of cruel world he will step into if he wants to move forward.

Magic is supreme. As long as the magic is strong, it can crush all living beings. Ordinary magicians are just cannon fodder, and only those who master special magic tools have a place. If a boy without magic like Asta dares to enter the world of magicians, he may be crushed to ashes.

In the face of such danger, will the boy still have the courage to move forward?

It's so heavy, as if he is carrying a mountain. Is this the magic of the leader? Asta knew that if he wanted to become the Magic Emperor, he had to get the recognition of these people, and even surpass these leaders. He was really strong.

Asta did not deny the gap between himself and the leader, but he would not give up: "I must become the Magic Emperor, even if I fall, I will fall on the road!" This is a lofty goal, and Asta was ready from the beginning.

"Very good! Then you can join my Knights." Ye Jian gave him a chance.

Asta was so moved. He succeeded. Although it was only the first step, he finally succeeded.

"Another compromiser." Duran said that they really didn't read enough. If they were librarians, they would never compromise.

It was all over. The leader chose the members he was satisfied with and dispersed. Those who were not selected could only go home and find another way out.

"What are you talking about?" The twin-tailed girl heard Duran and Denise constantly underestimating the harsh words such as compromise and rebellion, and didn't understand what their purpose was.

"It's just some routines, you won't understand." This kind of routine can only be known after many adventures and summarizing experience.

Whenever there are similar themes, the compromisers are positive characters, and some of them are even aristocrats in disguise, while the rebels are villains, and they are all portrayed as cruel and inhumane. Over time, some people will think that the compromisers are the most rational and righteous.

As for the aristocrats, generally the old aristocrats are dirty, and the young aristocrats, although arrogant, will become kind under the influence of the compromisers.

This is not just a concept in fantasy animation, it should be the standard routine of all Japanese comics, and even Detective Conan can't escape this path. In "The Phantom of Baker Street", Huiyuan Ai pointed out the contradiction sharply: the children of politicians are politicians, the children of doctors are doctors, and the children of lawyers are lawyers...

The naughty children of the Junior Detective Team and the naughty children of the aristocrats went on an adventure together. In the end, the Junior Detective Team moved the naughty children of the aristocrats through courage, so that the naughty children no longer looked down on the common people and changed their arrogant temper.

You can't overthrow the aristocrats, you can only influence their children. But don't think that the corrupt aristocrats are also grown up by young children, and what really corrupts them is the entire environment. The courage of the common people can shake the corrupt environment, which is just a beautiful fantasy.

So these stories are exciting to read once, tiring to read twice, and speechless to read three times, because Duran has been educated since childhood that "revolution is not a dinner party."

It's a pity that similar worlds always repeat similar stories, but these routines will not feel at all for those who live in them. They will only feel that they are right, because generations of elites repeat the compromise route and will never wake up. This is the most terrifying thing. This society is like a pool of stagnant water, and the compromisers are stones thrown into it one after another, with no effect at all, but they still have no hesitation, because they have never thought of other routes.
