"Hey, hey, fight me! I love fighting so much!"
Luck couldn't wait to get to Asta's side, talking while throwing punches in anticipation.
"Hmm, this is a guy who is exactly like Gaara when talking about fighting."
Asta had already confirmed his personality from the gleam in Luck's eyes. It seemed his upbringing had been just as difficult.
"Next is Gauche. He's a super sis-con and a selfish jerk. A friendly tip: don't ever covet his sister, or he'll slaughter you!"
Magna said, pointing at the world-weary youth.
Gauche took out a photo of his sister, Marie, shoved it in front of Asta, and said: "How about it? She is my sister; she's an angel! If you dare make a move on her, I will kill you!"
"..."
Asta looked speechlessly at the Little Girl in the photo. She was so young, how could anyone make a move on her!
"Oh right, there's also Grey, who's like a gatekeeper. Yeah, that's all I know."
When Magna said this, Grey just stared blankly at Asta, looking exceptionally shy.
"Captain..."
Finral crawled in from outside the collapsed wall. Fortunately, he had used his Spatial Magic quickly, otherwise his handsome face clearly wouldn't have been saved.
"Oh, and this guy is Finral. You just need to know that if there are young, beautiful women in your home, you must not let him see them!"
After Magna solemnly introduced Finral, he looked at Yami with reverence. "Next is our most popular Captain, Yami. For the rest, you just need to maintain respect!"
"That's all the introductions for the members present. Captain Yami, was my introduction okay?"
Magna looked at Yami, expecting praise.
"So-so."
Yami blew a smoke ring and looked at Asta nonchalantly. "We have many more members. In short, it's an exceptionally large Magic Knight Squad. You don't need to be nervous; just be casual and get along with everyone."
"It's already at this point, honestly, no one is laughing at you."
Asta rolled his eyes. Fewer people meant fewer people, he didn't mind. In short, Asta was very satisfied with this Magic Knight Squad. Although there were few people and everyone had their own issues, precisely because of that, no one would judge anyone else, which actually made life more harmonious.
"Looks like you're ready to welcome a horrific initiation?"
Yami was so angry the cigarette almost fell from his lips. This cheeky monkey was really sent by heaven to annoy him; he could make Yami smoke with rage just by saying anything!
"Is the initiation phase starting now?"
Magna said, excited and eager to try.
"Initiate him well, just don't kill him."
Yami said threateningly. Then, with Yami's authorization, Magna rubbed his hands and walked towards Asta.
"Did you hear that? You weakling from Hage Village. A guy born in such a backwater probably doesn't have much magic power, right? I really don't know how you managed to suck up to Captain Yami to get in, but now, let me reveal your true colors, you hick!"
Magna twisted his mouth and held his nose in the air, delivering his opening line before acting. It had to be said that his talent as a delinquent was quite strong; playing the villain came naturally to him, leaving no room for criticism.
"Can I fight back? Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Asta asked weakly. If he could fight back, he could speed up the end of this time-wasting process.
"What? Fight back? Careful?!"
Magna felt his dignity had been extremely insulted. "Come, come, come! I'm going to beat you until you see stars and your butt catches fire!"
"Then I won't hold back."
Asta smiled. Judging from the previous combat, Magna had Fire attribute magic, and his attack method was long-range fireballs. If that was all there was to it, then this battle could end very quickly.
Everyone then went to the open space outside the castle. Magna looked at Asta and sneered: "You didn't need to be this pathetic right from the start, but now that you've angered me, I declare that we will proceed directly to the final baptism. Now, whether you use magic or taijutsu, no matter what means you use, as long as you block or dodge my attack magic, you will truly become a member of the Black Bulls!"
"What if I defeat you?"
"Pfft!"
"Captain, is this newcomer serious?"
"Where did they recruit this weirdo from!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. They originally wanted to see how Magna would creatively initiate the newcomer, but they didn't expect Magna to be the one fuming with rage first.
"I can't take it anymore, brat! If you can't dodge, you're going to die!"
Magna's grimoire moved on its own without any wind, the pages flipping rapidly to a magic spell. Then, a red light erupted, and a ball of raging fire gathered in Magna's hand.
"Looks like he's getting serious."
Finral sighed, opened his grimoire, and prepared to rescue him at any moment.
