"Captains who are interested, please raise your hand!"
As the staff's voice fell, all the candidates held their breath. They couldn't wait to know the fate of this boy who looked like a demon god. Would he receive the praise of being chosen by everyone, or would there be twists and turns?
The Golden Dawn Squad Captain and the Silver-Winged Vulture Squad Captain flashed thoughtful looks in their eyes but had no intention of raising their hands. Asta was undoubtedly strong, but as the Verdant Mantis Squad Captain said, the growth of Taijutsu was ultimately limited. They believed Yuno, who possessed powerful magic, would become a peerless powerhouse in the future, but they clearly didn't have that confidence in Asta.
Time passed quickly, but the Crimson Lion King Squad Captain who loved fighting didn't raise his hand, the Coral Peacock Squad Captain who loved sleeping was still dozing, and the Green Briar Squad Captain wearing an iron chest protector had a meaningful look in her eyes, but she also didn't raise her hand.
"Could it be that no captain wants him?"
A candidate said in disbelief. You have to know that Yuno, as the loser, had nine captains raise their hands without hesitation, while Asta, the winner, was collectively ignored?
"Right! I remember now, the silver-haired boy doesn't seem to know magic at all! He hasn't shown any magic-related abilities from start to finish. No wonder no Magic Knight Squad Captain dares to want him!"
"Hahaha, this guy must have done something shameful and offended the gods! Otherwise, how could he have no magic power!"
"Seeing such a powerful person fail, I feel balanced now!"
"I originally wanted to get to know him, but now it seems there is no need. Not entering a Magic Knight Squad is equivalent to cutting off room for improvement. Someone like this will be surpassed by me before long!"
The mocking voices around kept reaching Asta's ears. These people were truly mean and snobbish. A moment ago, some were using him to borrow power, and now that he was useless, they were mocking him to their heart's content?
"This result is not surprising, after all, I'm used to it. But since when did I become an object of ridicule for this trash?"
Asta turned his head, his eyes sharp like knives, looking down at these boys.
His calm face showed no embarrassment after failing, because the strong are self-strengthening; this doesn't need to be set off by any flashy power!
His purpose in joining the Magic Knight Squad was just to be lazy, not needing to collect various information himself. Everything had ready-made tasks waiting for him to do, so it didn't really matter whether he joined or not.
However, he had to let these mean and snobbish people know that from the moment they looked up to him, they were destined to look at his back with reverence for the rest of their lives!
However, at this moment, the Black Bulls Squad Captain raised his hand high!
"Look, the Black Bulls Squad Captain has raised his hand!"
"Aha? Although he didn't fail, the one who raised his hand is the worst Magic Knight Squad. This silver-haired boy really did too many shameful things in his past life, so he's suffering retribution!"
Although a Magic Knight Squad Captain raised his hand in the last second, Asta was still mocked by everyone because this ending did not match his performance at all!
"Tch, why didn't you raise your hand sooner, causing me such embarrassment!"
Asta rolled his eyes at the Black Bulls Squad Captain who looked like a rural uncle, and then walked towards the group of people who laughed at him the most.
"Do you think your growth potential is terrifying? Perhaps you have a slight prejudice against Taijutsu, to the point where you don't even know how high the sky is!"
After Asta finished speaking, he opened the [Gate of Opening] and [Gate of Rest] in succession. Chakra surged out of his body like a fountain. That tragic green aura burst out, arrogantly manifesting in front of every boy. At this time, Asta turned back and said to the Black Bulls Squad Captain: "Captain, if I accidentally destroy this exam venue, is it against the law?"
"What do you mean by accidentally?"
Everyone broke into a cold sweat.
"Damn brat, don't destroy public property!"
The Black Bulls Squad Captain's eyes immediately turned red. He hated people destroying public property the most in his life, so he angrily slapped the second-floor balcony where the nine captains were located until it collapsed...
"What the hell are you doing, Yami!"
Several captains hurriedly used magic to stabilize the second floor, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to fall down.
"It seems you are leading by example, then I won't be polite!"
Asta curled his lips into a smile, then swung his sword heavily from the sky. The huge sword energy was like a mountain torrent, a tsunami. This was a full-strength blow using his calves, waist, arms, and wrists!
"BOOM!!!"
A wind cyclone even stronger than Yuno's five Wind Magic spells earlier swept across the entire exam venue. The fierce impact blew the entire venue apart. The boys who had mocked Asta were blown away. The whole whirlwind lasted for a full five seconds. Five seconds made everyone present look at Asta differently!
"It really was an accident, destroying the exam venue!"
The Golden Dawn and Silver Eagles suddenly felt a sense of regret. As the Verdant Mantis Squad Captain said, the growth potential of Taijutsu is ultimately limited, but now, setting aside other things, even many Magic Knight Squad members couldn't unleash such a grand blow with a full-strength strike!
"Now I really regret it a bit!"
The Crimson Lion King Squad Captain sighed. He thought magic was the coolest thing in this world, but now it seems Taijutsu is not weak either!
"Who would have thought that physical strength alone could reach this level?"
The Verdant Mantis Squad Captain felt his thin face hurting. This was the result of being slapped in the face!
"Truly picked up a treasure!"
The Black Bulls Squad Captain's eyes flashed with a burning light. Who said you can't become a powerful Magic Knight without magic? Such Taijutsu and a great sword that cuts off magic are enough to make Asta stand out!
The other captains also looked at this sword strike in shock. This was a sword strike enough to threaten them! This was a sword strike that even they had to take seriously! And such a powerhouse was rejected by them because of limited growth potential!
"Do you think you can surpass me by joining a Magic Knight Squad? Now I ask you, with the power I have shown, how long will it take you to surpass me?"
Asta coldly questioned the boys who had fallen to the ground. How can the dignity of the strong be challenged by the weak!
