Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Fang Rui said this in a somewhat uncertain tone, causing Asta and Yuno to both show speechless expressions.

"Hey! Your tone is so lacking in confidence!" Asta retorted. "And how do you know the knight order we joined has a noisy atmosphere?!"

However, Asta's rebuttal was immediately refuted by a comment from the side.

"He's right, it is indeed very noisy in the troupe."

Upon hearing this, the three looked in the direction from which the voice came and saw a young man raising his hand in greeting, "Yo! You two juniors! I am your senior, Finral."

"Hello, you're a super rookie from the Golden Dawn!"

A moment later, he added in a slightly flippant tone, to which Yuno raised an eyebrow slightly, said nothing, and nodded in response.

"Fenral-senpai!!!" Asta roared as ever.

"It's a bit noisy, turn the volume down!"

Fang Rui punched Asta on the head. The messy hair was a bit prickly. The two were already close, so Asta's roar sounded like it was being projected into someone's ear through a megaphone...

My whole body was buzzing.

'You just said you like lively places...' Yuno thought to herself, her eyes filled with exasperation.

"Fenral, what brings you here?" Fang Rui asked directly.

'Calling him by his first name!!!' Finral exclaimed inwardly. Everyone else in the group addressed him by his first name, including the new recruits…

'I don't feel like I'm a senior at all!!!'

Despite his inner turmoil, Finral showed no outward emotion as he answered Fang Rui's question, "It was Mr. Yami who asked me to take you to the Knights' headquarters."

The Black Bull Knights' headquarters were not near the royal city, but in a remote area, perhaps in Pingjie or Huiwai.

Purchasing daily necessities and getting around usually involve riding a broom, or rather, using Finral's spatial magic.

As Finral opened the portal, Fang Rui's spellbook opened slightly before closing it again...

Spatial teleportation magic, already recorded.

"Well then... see you later, Yuno."

As he said this, Fang Rui entered the portal, and the familiar feeling of crossing space came over him.

The next second, the scene in Fang Rui's field of vision changed. A house several tens of meters high was located in a lush forest, giving it a bit of a villa-in-the-woods feel.

"Yuno, see you later..."

Astar looked at Yuno and smiled slightly, everything was understood without words.

Fang Rui did not linger in place, but instead pushed open the door of the luxurious house. The scene that had been blocked by the door instantly appeared in Fang Rui's field of vision.

"Hahaha... Magna~"

A boy with lightning wrapped around his legs leaped around the room, as swift as lightning, his joyful laughter escaping his mouth. On the ground lay a young man resembling a biker gang member, hurling fireballs at the boy while yelling in a frantic manner...

Elsewhere, a petite girl is eating quickly, while a flock of soft sheep cooks for her and fends off the occasional lightning and fireballs.

And there was a woman lying on the sofa, wearing only underwear; incidentally, even though this female magic knight was asleep, she was still clutching a wine bottle.

A tall, fat, burly man sat in the corner, silently exhaling smoke, while a young man with a nosebleed stared at the mirror, seemingly talking to someone.

"What a unique knightly order," Fang Rui said, directly expressing his thoughts.

When the door opened, the people inside had already noticed, but none of them cared. They continued doing what they had been doing, only paying a little attention to the doorway.

If they are enemies, they will attack immediately...

"It's a stranger!" Lark looked slightly dazed. Black bulls are usually not visited by anyone. Could it be... that someone has come to post a request?

"Who are you? What are you doing here at the Black Bulls?!" Magna asked directly.

After confirming that the other party had no hostile intentions, Vanessa stopped paying attention to the matter and instead listened in...

Chami kept eating, only glancing at Fang Rui.

"Me? I'm a newcomer to the group." Fang Rui made no attempt to hide his identity and told the others directly.

"A newcomer?!" Everyone in the room was instantly startled, and all eyes were focused on Fang Rui. Even Banassa opened her eyes.

Because the Black Bulls have a bad reputation and consistently rank at the bottom of the star acquisition leaderboard, very few people are willing to join them during each Magic Knight selection exam.

It's been years since anyone joined Black Bulls... right?

Vanessa's thoughts were somewhat scattered; she hadn't been paying attention to the matter and wasn't quite sure...

"You're not kidding!" Magna seemed too shocked to speak without thinking.

"Hmm?" A thick arm reached out from Fang Rui's side, grabbed Magna's head, and slowly closed its five fingers together with a "click-click-click" sound.

"It hurts..."

At the same time, Magna's cry of pain was also heard.

"I didn't hear you clearly, could you say it again?"

A deep voice echoed in the room, instantly enveloping the entire space in a somber atmosphere.

The next second, the dull atmosphere was broken as a group of people rushed towards the door.

"Mr. Yomi (Captain), welcome back!!!"

Immediately following was a series of overlapping sounds.

"Commander Yomi, is there anyone here who dares to disrespect you? If so, I'll kill him... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

As she spoke, Yami slowly tightened her grip on her fingers, and Magna lost all interest in asking further questions, once again enveloped by pain.

"Commander, you absolutely have to fight me today!" Lak's smiling face was full of excitement.

"Give it your all!!!" He waved his fist, eager to try.

"Forget about these brats, come have a drink with me!" Vanessa stretched out her hands, seemingly wanting to hug Yami, or perhaps wanting to hang on his neck.

Unfortunately, Yami's current posture, with one hand holding a person and half of his body behind Fang Rui, prevents him from doing the aforementioned thing.

"Would you like to try this?" Chamy offered a cake. "It's delicious!"

"I'm sorry, I've had enough. Can I go home and find my sister?"

Goshu spoke in a serious tone, saying things that were rather nonsensical.

"Heave-ho~~~" The burly man didn't say anything, only silently watching Ye Jian and the others.

"Wow!!!" Asta exclaimed, amazed at the sight of the Knights of Favonius for the first time.

Fang Rui has copied several spells, among which the lightning spell "Thunder God's Boots" is one of his favorites. It can provide the ability to move at high speed and briefly float in the air, and at the same time, it can allow one to run on walls. Even if one is standing on a wall at a 90-degree angle, one will not fall off.

However, Fang Rui was more interested in Gray's transformation magic, "Magic Conversion".

No, to be precise, it's closer to transformation magic, which can change the shape and properties of objects. Although it has limitations, it is still a very powerful form of magic.

For example, if Fang Rui uses shapeshifting magic to become the fire spirit Salamander, and his skill is strong enough, he can become a second fire spirit, possessing the characteristics of a fire spirit and being able to use corresponding magic.

With Gray's current level of expertise, it's impossible for him to achieve this; it's merely a direction for development.

In addition, deforming the land is also a very good way to fight.

One can imagine countless swords rising from the ground, countless demonic beasts galloping, flames erupting, and lightning flashing...

While contemplating how to use magic, Fang Rui wasn't fully focused. Instead, he diverted a portion of his attention to other things. Yami destroyed a wall to quiet everyone down, and then introduced Fang Rui and Astar.

In front of a group of people kneeling, Asta and Fang Rui stood to the right of Ye Jian.

"These two are the other two newcomers..."

"Another thing?" Asta looked surprised and puzzled as he looked at Yami.

Fang Rui didn't pay attention to what Ye Jian said. He already knew who the other newcomer was—a tsundere.

Yes, they are mostly arrogant, with a few being coquettish, and they are not very good at communicating with people.

"Hmm." Yami didn't explain anything in detail, but simply patted Asta on the shoulder, "Introduce yourself."

"Yes!" Asta stood straight, head slightly raised, seemingly a little nervous. "I am Asta from Haji Village. Please take care of me from now on."

"I am Fang Rui from the wilderness. If you need any help, I am happy to do so."

“Haji Village? Really? That’s a rural place!” Magna exclaimed in surprise.

But before she could be surprised for more than a few seconds, her attention was drawn to something even more surprising.

"wilderness?!"

"You must be really good! Let's have a fight!" Lark invited.

“Sure, we can start in a bit.” Fang Rui didn’t refuse the invitation; fighting others would be beneficial to him.

“…Okay~” Unexpectedly, Fang Rui agreed so readily, and Lak was stunned for a moment before answering.

"Hey! Introduce the members." Ignoring the interaction between the members, Yami directed Finral's work.

“Okay, let me introduce you.” Finral stretched out his hand and pointed to the young man on his left.

"He is Gordon Agrippa."

"Nice to meet you," Gordon replied in a low voice, as if no one heard him.

At least Finral, who was standing right next to him, didn't hear clearly. He continued talking to himself, "Although he has a somewhat gloomy personality and I don't know what he's thinking, he's a good person."

"Next up is Vanessa Inottaka. Although she can be a bit crazy when she's drunk, she's a good person."

“I’ve never been drunk and disorderly,” Vanessa retorted, seemingly concerned about her public image.

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Astar and met Astar's gaze.

"Is Haji Village that small village on the very border?"

“Yes!” Asta responded loudly.

Then, her attention turned to Fang Rui, "Where exactly are you referring to as the wilderness?"

"I don't have a specific location; I've been wandering around."

"Just wandering around? You haven't had the grimoire for very long, have you?" Vanessa asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I didn't have any magic books on my previous trips, but I was lucky and didn't encounter any danger."

Vanessa seemed thoughtful about Fang Rui's answer but didn't say anything more.
