Asta again charges while holding the claymore in a diagonal guard and attacked with upward diagonal slash, the examiner bends his knee and tries to deflects the slash to the ground but asta leans back and the blades don't connect, he then looped the sword and attacked with horizontal sweep which the examiner blocks and moves back slightly. The examiner than swirls his sword and stabs towards asta's abdomen and gets blocked, he then circles to the side sweeps at asta's feet with his leg but has to jump away as asta tries to slash at his chest.
'he is focusing not on sheer power like the first attack, not even magic and ki yet.' "You can use magic you know? I need you to show me everything if we want the grading done properly." The examiner says as he analysed asta's movements. Asta understood the request and decided to use his grimoire.
"What sort of peasant did they let in? He is ruining the aura of my presence." The blue haired boy says with a face of disgust as he looks Asta who just opened his grimoire, "You talk a lot of smack for someone pathetic of class 1-Y, you couldn't even reach 3-Z" the yellow haired boy says and the white haired girl chuckles at the remark. "Shut up video, you bastard son of the grahms." The blue haired boy retorts with a grin and the yellow haired's face turns dark but returns to normal as the white haired girl gives him some comfort.
"So shall we begin?" Asta says as he throws Goliath in the air, he channels his ki while bringing out Mugen(the katana) as black wings emerges from his back. A dark aura surrounds him as points it at the examiner. "What is this? An armor type? Offense type? I have never seen such magic." The examiner thinks as he opens his grimoire under the unidentified pressure, his sword turns into cyan light as a armor of frost appears on his body. The other participants slowly back away from pressure anti-magic is giving to their mana. "Just what sort of power is this? Even Alipse is terrified." The blone haired small child with the rapier says.
Asta swoops in like a eagle, his katana slashing at the examiner. The examiner's ki soars as he deflects the blade and slashes at asta diagonally, asta quickly senses the direction of hostility then leans to the side as he control the Goliath to stop barrages of hails from behind the examiner. As he dodges the blade asta quickly bended his knee and stabs towards the chest but the examiner brings out another sword and parries it, but just as he parries the slash asta did another slash and backs away after leaving a shallow wound across the examiner's chest. In the other hand of asta is defiance (the demon dweller), the examiner rushes ignoring the wound on his chest as his ki heals, his sword drags across the ground and soon with a upwards slash a giant iceberg rises at asta and engulfs half the arena.
"Equinox" just as the examiner panics about going overboard with strength when suddenly his senses tingle and a black slash splits the iceberg in two, he dodges and quickly back away to see his iceberg and surrounding magic disappear in front of him. "Magic nullification? I guess I will have to ramp up my ki a little." His ki soars as he elevates it to 4th stage, the ground breaks beneath his feet as he flew towards Asta like a bullet who blasted away from the recoil of the impact, asta quickly turns in mid-air with his wings before letting go of Mugen and defiance while he grabs Goliath.
The examiner watches as the claymore increases to ten times in size as it comes crashing down towards him, in a sense of terror he uses something he was not supposed to, Aura. His mana and ki merged and the next second the entire stage becomes a frozen hell as the giant pillar of ice emerge from the ground, the claymore crashes onto the floor and destroys it but the pillar brought enough time for the examiner to avoid it. "It seems he can also nullify a major portion of aura... I want to file a complain." The examiner says as he watches the aura in the surroundings get devoured by anti-magic but the speed is only one-sixth of just mana due to influence of ki.
The Goliath returns to its normal size and returns to floating behind asta, Just as the examiner wanted to end the exam he watches a flash before his eyes. "Black Dragon meteor." Asta flashes towards the examiner as he becomes a comet, a black dragon's mouth appears around him as swings Mugen straight for examiner while Goliath follows behind in a swing without asta grabbing it. The examiner's senses scream and he releases his aura in full force but. Asta's ki and anti-magic merge momentarily and devoured the attack as if nothing and kept going. 'This is bad!! I didn't expect the aura will be devoured as well!' Asta panics and his attack's trajectory changes, the examiner instinctively releases the seal of his ki stage and with aura created from stage 5 of ki hit Asta straight in the chest. Even with only 40% percent of the power making through asta flew like a deflected ball and crashed into the dome's wall to the side.
" I guess my anti-magic still has limits " Asta says as he stands up, the attack had hit him hard but slash was blocked and most he recieved was some blunt impact, his wings retract while the swords are sent back to the grimoire. His anti-mana reserves have fell to 40% and his body feels exhausted. "Are you alright?" The examiner says as he runs to Asta while ignoring the bleeding on his chest. "I went overboard with my attack it seems, i should hav-" "then what's the point of showing everything I got?" Asta replies to panicking examiner who soon calms down under asta's constant assurance, "through I wish I should have unleashed the mana stored in my sword.. can I release it?" Asta asks and after a nod from the examiner asta brought defiance and released the slash of frost magic towards a empty place. "This mana... Isn't this mine?" The examiner says as he looks at the frozen area in front of him while asta again returns the sword to grimoire as he wipes away the frost and dust on his body.
"This is crazy... The instructor barely won. Is that guy even human?" "Human? Did you not see the dragon around him and those horns he had during the attack? He is a dragon i say." "Why would a dragon come here? He could have just learned from his dragon council's academy if he was." The white haired girl and yellow haired guy talk among themselves while the blue haired guy just looks at the destruction on the stage before leaving, the golden haired boy also looks at asta with anticipation of what sort of person he is.

" So anything else we should know when making you a class schedule?" "I use a axe, a hammer,another short sword, a bow and a spear as well." "You serious? You can use so many weapon?" "Yes". Asta is currently answering a old women with a stick in a room somewhere in the dome, after the combat exam he had to go through a personality test and also told them about what more he is capable of such as runesmithing and his fighting preference as well as wanted course he wanted. He also found out that he was supposed to give combat test last but actually went to do it first accidently and examiner didn't check for his name in the files he had thinking asta was just the last person who was late.
He was assigned to class 1-Z and given dorm keys for his room and instantly admitted to the academy unlike the others.
As asta left for the dormitory, the old women taped the stick on a mirror and soon a person's face appears in it. "Anything special Granny pheina? Did we get someone who keeps insisting to redo the test again?" The brown haired man with no beard asks as he sips on a glass of juice, "No. We got a participant who almost killed mathew, he barely deflected the lethal attack with a stage 2 aura." "WHAT!!!.. tell me more." The person spits out the juice as asks with excitement. "His name is Asta, no noble connection, age 15, stage 3 in ki and magic and Mathew said he managed to use aura momentarily. Apparently he uses some sort of magic that can devour other magics and weaker aura to some extent while lowering the power from higher stage aura." "That's unbelievable. What about his personality?" " 10/10, willing to learn and disciplined, good intelligence and insight but he is bit dense. He is strong and humble and a perfect prospect compared to those cocky punks that we get nowadays." "Good, accept h-" "Already did" both stare at each other while a nerve bulges on the man's forehead.
