Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Gathering his thoughts, Fang Rui withdrew his gaze and stopped daydreaming. He left a clone in the Gintama world and then returned to the Black Clover world...

Compared to the "quiet" world of Gintama, the world of Black Clover is even more intriguing...

After retrieving his clone left in Haji Village, Fang Rui found Asta and Yuno.

The two were on a grassy area outside the village, gazing at the distant scenery.

It was early morning. The crescent moon shone brightly, stars twinkled in the night sky, the distant forest was quiet, and a slightly chilly wind blew gently.

"You didn't sleep all night, and you're just standing here spacing out?"

Arriving behind the two, Fang Rui looked down at them sitting on the grass, his eyes devoid of emotion.

"I don't want to sleep..." Yuno whispered.

"Not at all... sleepy!" Asta held up his jet-black spellbook, his eyes gleaming with hope and excitement. "I... I'm so excited!!!"

"Is that so?" Fang Rui sat down next to Yuno without saying anything.

The three of them traveled between the Magic Book Tower and Haji Village on broomsticks, allowing them to travel back and forth between the two places in just a few hours.

"We're heading to the capital tomorrow. What are your thoughts?"

Fang Rui started a conversation; he wasn't interested in just sitting there daydreaming, and he was also curious about the two of them's plans for the future.

"There's still some time before the Knights' recruitment, so we plan to walk to the capital and gain some experience along the way, since we just acquired the magic book."

Yuno stated their choices, and Fang Rui nodded slightly before asking, "May I travel with you?"

"...Of course you can, you promised me you'd help me train."

Before Yuno could say anything, Asta spoke up first.

The sound was extremely loud, as if it were roaring.

"Keep your voice down, everyone else is sleeping," Fang Rui said, tilting his head away from the source of the noise to remind Asta.

Upon hearing this, Astar covered his mouth and nodded gently to indicate that he understood.

"Since we're going to hike to the capital, we need to prepare some supplies, especially since we'll be in the wilderness..."

Fang Rui lacked knowledge about the wilderness of the Clover Kingdom, and he hated bad camping experiences. He had certain requirements for daily life, and even camping had to be a bit more refined.

“Emmm…” Yuno and Asta remained silent. Given the church’s situation, it seemed they couldn’t offer anything of value, except perhaps a little more dry rations and some seasonings.

"Don't worry, I brought everything I needed. Don't forget where I lived before. Since I was able to cross the wilderness to get here, I must have been prepared."

Seeing their reactions, Fang Rui knew what they were worried about, so he immediately explained to them not to worry.

"Hmm..." the two responded softly, and said nothing more.

The three of them gazed silently at the night sky, lost in thought.

A star-studded night sky? It's been so long since I've gazed at the night sky so quietly.

As Fang Rui thought this to himself, he was enveloped in a tranquil atmosphere, free from any worries.

The next day, the three bid farewell to the villagers and headed towards the capital...

Merchants travel back and forth between Huiwaijie, Pingjie, and Wangguijie, so there are paths in the mountains and forests. The three of them can follow the paths without the risk of getting lost, since the signs are very clear.

By the way, wild beasts and magical beasts occasionally appear on the trade route. Most of them are very weak and can be easily dealt with by the caravan's bodyguards.

If they encounter an even more powerful monster, the caravan will issue a request, asking the Knights for help...

Some magic knight orders refuse such missions, preferring more challenging tasks, while others welcome them.

Not everyone who joins the Knights has lofty ideals; some are purely in it for the money.

Yuno and Asta's goal is to become the Magic Emperor and earn money to improve their family's life...

The two did not deliberately seek out monsters to hone their combat experience during their journey; they only dealt with monsters they encountered occasionally.

Besides that, the two of them have been practicing magic and swordsmanship.

Following Fang Rui's instructions, Yuno has been practicing her magic skills and has integrated them into her daily life.

At first, the training caused Yuno a lot of trouble. For example, when walking, he did not control his magic output well. The wind wrapped around his feet suddenly intensified, and he shot out like an arrow, either falling or crashing into a tree.

Yasta's situation is a little better, as he has been exercising and replacing normal walking with frog jumps. Because the road is not very smooth, Yasta occasionally falls.

During breaks, Asta would practice his swordsmanship, and Fang Rui would teach him basic swordsmanship and act as Asta's sparring partner.

Seeing how hard the two of them were working, Fang Rui, who had been feeling a bit lazy lately, got motivated and started exercising along with them.

A few days later, the two arrived in the capital.

At this time, the Knights' recruitment campaign has already begun. There will be a few days of buffer time between the announcement of the selection process and the official selection.

The three arrived in the capital just as the selection was about to begin, so instead of looking for accommodation, they went to the registration office and waited for the selection to start...

Castle town, Kika.

It is a town located near the royal city, connected to both the noble district and the royal city.

Because it is located near the royal city, the area is naturally very safe and therefore very prosperous, with people coming and going and all kinds of vendors everywhere, making it particularly lively.

"Wow, it's so lively!" Asta looked around, it was the first time he had ever seen such a bustling town with so many shops.

Yuno remained expressionless, but his gaze wandered between the shops, examining each magic spell.

Fang Rui's magic book was rapidly recording spells. As a world full of magic, everyone should be able to use magic, and magic is integrated into daily life. Therefore, many shop staff and pedestrians are using magic.

Although they are just ordinary spells with little power, it's good to record them, just in case they come in handy.

As they walked down the street, Asta kept looking at the various goods, while Yuno was quieter, only occasionally chiming in with a comment.

Fang Rui didn't interrupt, observing the pedestrians the whole time. In terms of the amount of magic power the residents had, they were indeed generally more than the residents of Haji Village.

After all, those who want to become magic knights gather in the capital, and these people are elites everywhere. Over time, how could the basic magic power of the capital's residents be low?

After registration closed, Fang Rui and the others went to the registration office to register by recording their magic books.

After registration closed, the group entered the venue and waited for the selection process to begin.

There were demon-repelling birds in the venue. These birds were deliberately released by the Knights to determine the strength of the magic power of those participating in the selection.

The weaker a person's magic power, the more favored they are by the Demon-Avoiding Bird; while those with strong magic power are avoided by the Demon-Avoiding Bird, such as Fang Rui and Yuno.

Asta, however, was already surrounded by the Demon-Repelling Birds.

Fang Rui observed carefully and found that Nero was not among the demon-repelling birds. A normal demon-repelling bird has messy feathers and looks like it has an afro.

Nero's feathers are very smooth, making him look completely different.

"Hmm, the tension is completely gone~" Yuno commented after seeing Asta's predicament.

"Hmm? You're feeling nervous?" Fang Rui asked in surprise, then said softly, "With your strength, you can choose any of the knight orders. There's no need to worry."

The conversation between the two was overheard by several people nearby, who immediately cast surprised glances at them, unsure whether they were saying that the person was arrogant or ignorant.

"Which knightly order do you want to join?" Yuno's gaze fell on the audience seats, which were now empty.

Inside the venue, however, a knight commander who had wandered in by mistake was interacting amicably with Asta.

"There's no need to disturb us, after all, it's our first meeting..."

Watching the two's "friendly" interaction, Fang Rui didn't say anything. Speaking of which, Yami's dark magic was quite interesting. It didn't have any complicated tricks; instead, it focused entirely on attack power, maximizing its destructive force...

'I'd like to replicate it, after all, it involves magic that touches upon space.'

Thinking to himself, he knew that the Knights Commander would be taking action frequently in the future, so there was no need to rush.

Turning his gaze away, Fang Rui waited quietly for the selection to begin.

The selection process is simply a one-on-one battle. It's not that the winner can enter the Knights Order, but rather that the person chosen by the Knights Commander can enter the Knights Order. Therefore, even the losers have a chance to join the Knights Order.

According to his exam number, Fang Rui took the field after Yasta, so he was able to watch the match between Yuno and Yasta in peace.

Just as Fang Rui had described, Yuno was invited by all the knight orders, while Asta was in the complete opposite situation, almost not receiving an invitation from any of them, and narrowly escaping into the "Black Bull".

Next up is Fang Rui's match...

His opponent was an ordinary person who didn't show any special characteristics. He didn't even use magic and was blown away by Fang Rui's magical storm, which could be described as an instant kill...

Correspondingly, Fang Rui received invitations from all the Knights Orders.

Chapter 576 Joining the Knights

Fang Rui's choice was "the black bull".

After all, various troubles will befall "The Dark Bull" in the near future, and Fang Rui is quite interested in those troubles; all sorts of magic are something to look forward to...

Hmm, why do I feel like the roles are somewhat overlapping?

Thinking this, Fang Rui suddenly thought of someone, someone who loved magic very much, the current Magic Emperor...

'What's your name again?'

With this question in mind, Fang Rui pointed to Yomi Suke, "I want to join the Black Bulls."

"Hmph~" Ye Jian, who had no expectations, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, tightened his teeth slightly while holding the cigarette, causing it to curl upwards, and looked at Fang Rui with interest.

The expressions of the other knight commanders changed in various ways: some were disgusted, some were indignant, and some were quite amused...

Fang Rui's gaze slowly moved, landing on someone who was showing signs of anger.

'The purple clothes... does that belong to the leader of the ham-themed group, Purple Something?'

Because this person's abilities were average, and he had very little screen time and a low profile, Fang Rui didn't remember his name. But the current problem is...

Why is this person angry? Could it be... that I rejected his invitation to join the group?!

Unable to guess what the other party was thinking, Fang Rui stopped thinking about it and went to the rest area of ​​the venue.

"Why choose the Black Bulls?" Yuno asked with a puzzled look. In his opinion, joining the Golden Dawn was the most efficient way to become the Magic Emperor. After all, the Golden Dawn had the most stars among all the knight orders and was currently ranked "number one".

The gap between "Number One" and the Magic Emperor is the shortest...

"Ah! Yuno, what's wrong with the Black Bulls?!" Before Fang Rui could answer, Asta roared first. After all, he was a member of the "Black Bulls" and would not allow others to belittle his knightly order.

Not to mention, Yuno is his rival...

Ignoring the roaring Asta, Yuno kept his eyes on Fang Rui, waiting for his answer.

"If you ask why, it's probably because I prefer the noisy knight order; it feels like home."
