Chapter 5: Unexpected Meetings
Astrea and Klaus, upon reaching the capital, were awestruck by its immense size. As they wandered through the bustling streets, Klaus accidentally bumped into a well-built stranger. The stranger, exhausted from work and sleep-deprived, quickly apologized, and Klaus graciously accepted.
Meanwhile, as Astrea explored the capital, he came across a kind-hearted stranger who used flame magic to create small flowers for children, leaving a heartwarming impression on him. As evening approached, Astrea and Klaus reunited near the coliseum, where all ten Magic Knight Captains were scheduled to gather.
These ten knightly orders were known as ExistForger, CoreFury, Arcluatina, WhiteUnicorn, BlackLion, GoldenPhoenix, NebulEye, Avalon, CelestialBeing and RisingSun. As the captains convened, they took their seats, but the captains of ExistForger and CoreFury were notably absent.
Suddenly, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows – it was Elizabeth, the Queen of Burning Ice also known as the Vice Captain of ExistForger. Simultaneously, 25 lifeless bodies appeared, prompting the contestants' shock.These were the deadbodies of various criminals who were commiting a crime near the capital. Elizabeth ordered Faiz, an elite member of ExistForger, to handle the situation, and he swiftly complied with his wind magic.
Unexpectedly, the sleepy individual Klaus had encountered earlier took the seat reserved for the CoreFury captain. He was the Vice Captain of CoreFury, Roy Vaude, with a fellow CoreFury elite member, standing beside him. On the other side of Elizabeth stood Celestio Vaude, another elite member of ExistForger. The stage was set for a gathering of the current greatest knights in the kingdom , marking the beginning of the magic knights entrance exams.
