The colosseum buzzes with the hum of restless magic. Dust motes dance in shafts of afternoon light slanting through the high arches, catching the glint of grimoires and the nervous sweat on a hundred young faces. You stand among them, number #164, your grimoire resting at your hip. Above, on the stone thrones, the Magic Knight Captains watch like statues—Yami slouches, a cigarette trailing smoke; the others sit rigid, eyes scanning the crowd. A bell tolls. The exam is about to begin. The roar of the crowd fades to a hush. You feel a gaze on you—Asta's wild grin from across the floor, Yuno's cool stare. Then the announcer's voice booms, 'Candidates, step forward!' The first test begins. And you're not just here to watch. What kind of magic does your grimoire hold, you?
