Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

“Lak Baltia.” After the three finished their conversation, Finral continued, “Although he’s a battle maniac who absolutely loves fighting, he’s a good person.”

"Nice to meet you~" Lark said obediently, while looking forward to the battle that was about to begin.

Immediately afterward, before Finlar could introduce them, someone came over holding up a photo and asked in a serious tone.

"Well? She's my sister Mary, she's an angel!"

"Yes~" Asta's tone was unusually low.

Fang Rui didn't say anything; his mirror magic and Goxiu's mirror magic were developing in completely different directions.

"Listen up, if you dare lay a hand on Mary, I'll kill you!"

Goshyu moved close to Yasta, threatening him.

Fang Rui had anticipated this and took a step back to maintain a safe distance.

"Goheu Adre, although he's a total siscon, is a good person."

"This kid's name is Chami Papetzon. He's a big eater, but he's a good person."

"His name is Gray. It's a bit strange, but he's a good guy."

"Then there was Magner Swig, a scoundrel, but a good man!"

"As for me, I've already introduced myself..."

“Next…” Finral struck a pose, pointing to Yomi Suke, “and I solemnly introduce him as the captain of our Black Bulls, Captain Yomi Suke!!!”

Chapter 577 Baptism of Joining the Group

Everyone's gaze followed the direction Finral pointed and focused on Yomi Suke.

A second later, Fang Rui looked away and changed the subject.

"Is there a welcome party for the new employees? There should be, right?!"

Perhaps Fang Rui's question was a bit too direct, causing everyone present to pause for a moment.

"Yes, of course there are!" Magna's smile grew increasingly arrogant, making him look even more like a thug.

"The baptism for new members joining the group, come and accept it!!!"

“That’s not what I’m asking.” Fang Rui shifted his gaze to Chami beside him. “Is there a proper welcome party? Delicious food and drinks…”

“Yes.” Chami nodded seriously. Behind her were several sheep chefs, waving frying pans and spatulas, as if to say, “Leave it to me!”

"Let's finish the initiation ceremony quickly and then start eating! I'm getting a little hungry~"

"How arrogant!" Magna's smile was slightly sinister, lacking any semblance of a respectable person.

"Eh eh eh..." Asta exclaimed in alarm, realizing that the atmosphere between the two was like oil boiling over a raging fire.

"This is going to be interesting~" The others didn't seem to care much, but were quite intrigued.

They were quite familiar with baptism; simply put, it was a test of a newcomer's abilities and there was no danger to their lives.

"Come on! Let me see your strength!"

Fang Rui stood in a corner of the grassy area and reached out his hand to Magna as he spoke.

"You're so arrogant! You bastard—"

Enraged, Magna unleashed a barrage of fireballs, shouting, "Explosive Fireball!"

Fang Rui's movements were exactly the same as Magna's, as if looking in a mirror, "Explosive Smash Flame Demon Ball!"

Although the moves are exactly the same, the magical power they inject is vastly different.

"So big—" Magna exclaimed in astonishment as Fang Rui's fireball engulfed the fireball he had thrown.

After his initial surprise subsided, Magna didn't dodge but instead threw out a barrage of fireballs, shattering the giant fireball.

boom----

The hot air from the explosion spread in all directions, and the scorching flames spread outwards, engulfing an area of ​​several meters in radius from the point of explosion.

"Oh~" Vanessa and the others exclaimed in surprise, amazed by the strength of the newcomer to the group.

Although they were quite satisfied with the "Black Bulls," their reputation among the residents was indeed much lower compared to other knightly orders. Furthermore, the Black Bulls were slightly weaker overall than other knightly orders, mainly due to their smaller number of members…

Furthermore, Yami's method of selecting members is somewhat arbitrary. He doesn't necessarily need those who are strong, but he will recruit those who are weak if he finds them pleasing to the eye.

Young and strong newcomers haven't appeared in "Black Bulls" for a long time.

"You're really impressive!" Magna's tone softened slightly after witnessing Fang Rui's strength, but then she changed her tone again, "But being strong is no excuse for your rude attitude."

"Huh? My attitude was rude?!" Fang Rui was very surprised to hear this. He thought for a moment and found that he had not been rude at all. It was just that from the moment he joined "Black Bulls", he had already regarded himself as a member of the family.

Since we're family members, what's wrong with being a little casual?

"As a member of the Black Bulls, what's wrong with being a little casual?" Fang Rui retorted.

“No problem,” Yami echoed. He was somewhat curious about Fang Rui’s magic; the magic he used earlier at the selection event was wind magic, but now it was fire magic…

Magic of different attributes...

In other words, Fang Rui's magic was not the wind magic he initially guessed.

"Kid, what kind of magic are you using?" Yami asked directly, without making any wild guesses.

"It's mirror magic. The mirror reflects all sorts of images, so I can use any magic I see..."

"That's really unfair..." Magna complained from the side after hearing Fang Rui's explanation, wondering how such magic could exist.

“Mirror magic…” Gosh’s expression was somewhat blank. Although they both practiced mirror magic, their development paths seemed to be completely different.

Perhaps... we could try developing a similar usage.

Goshu thought to himself, after all, according to Fang Rui's description, it was indeed a very powerful magic.

"Oh—" Asta exclaimed in surprise.

The voice immediately caught Magna's attention, and he turned his gaze to him. "Next is you, another newcomer..."

Having successfully passed the newcomer baptism, Fang Rui came to the audience to watch the duel between the two.

"...So you've copied Finral's spatial magic?"

Looking at Fang Rui beside him, Ye Jian said this, his focus was a bit different from others.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others also changed, as if this matter was very important.

"It has indeed been copied, but I refuse to become a means of transportation."

Fang Rui spoke about the matter very seriously, "Of course, if it's something important, I'm willing to offer my help."

"Tch~" Everyone was disappointed to hear this, but they didn't insist. After all, they had a backup plan: they could ask Fang Rui for help when they really needed it. They believed that as a fellow member of the Black Bulls, he would definitely be willing to help.

"So, in the eyes of newcomers, I'm just a means of transportation?" Finral was deeply shocked and became somewhat depressed.

"Hmm? Haven't you ever realized your own position?" Lak asked rhetorically.

"That's outrageous! That's so outrageous!" Finral was agitated, but upon closer inspection, there was no trace of anger in his tone; he was simply acting.

"Yes, the initiation ceremony is over. Let's eat!"

Fang Rui completely ignored Finral and, seeing that the battle between Asta and Magna was over, made a rather cheerful announcement.

"Don't ignore me." Yami's fist slammed towards Fang Rui, but Fang Rui stepped to the left to dodge the punch, replying at the same time:

"Then... Captain Yami, how about Aogen?"

Yami: "…………" That's so damn annoying!

"Very well, let's have a match and let me see how good you are."

Yami drew his sword, the sharp blade wreathed in dark magical energy.

"Oh! What a fine knife!" Fang Rui exclaimed.

"Right! I bought this knife on installment, and I still haven't finished paying off the remaining balance."

Upon hearing Fang Rui praise his sword, Yami's tone instantly changed. He had struggled for a long time when choosing the sword, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and paid in installments, since a good weapon could bring him a boost.

After all, Yami's fighting style often involves close combat, and while dark magic can increase the hardness and destructive power of the sword, it has its limits. Therefore, the quality of the sword is also very important.

"...Don't change the subject." Halfway through her sentence, Yami suddenly remembered that she had something to deal with and immediately steered the conversation back on track, "Let me see your full power."

Seeing Ye Jian's serious expression, Fang Rui understood that Ye Jian wanted to fight him not entirely to vent his anger, but it seemed that part of the reason was to understand his strength.

As for why he wanted to know his strength, Fang Rui guessed that Ye Jian was planning something.

According to the information Fang Rui had, after Black Bull obtained more "stars" than most knight orders, he boasted and mocked in front of many knight commanders.

This tells us that if Yami knew Fang Rui's strength, he would definitely boast to the other knight commanders.

However, Fang Rui didn't think there was any problem. A greater reputation would be useful to Fang Rui. The more powerful he was, the more dangerous the missions he could take on, and dangerous missions meant that he might encounter powerful magic users.

Fang Rui was very interested in collecting magic. Although the amount of magic didn't matter to him, the feeling of collecting something was very helpful.

It's like collecting all the character illustrations in a game, or other illustrations. Putting aside the sense of accomplishment, just seeing all the lit-up pictures looks pleasing to the eye.

"Alright! Let's have a fight..."

Fang Rui stretched out his hand, and an invisible wind condensed into a sword, similar to the sword of Wang Shu, without a hilt and looking very slender.

Fang Rui returned to the scorched grass and said to Ye Jian, "Come on! You can go first!"

"Then..." Yami didn't stand on ceremony, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and swung it at Fang Rui.

"Dark Entanglement - Unknown Slash!"

A crescent-shaped, jet-black slash tore through the air and flew toward Fang Rui at an extremely fast speed.

"Dark Entanglement - Unknown Slash!"

Fang Rui unleashed a dark slash in the same posture. Since the slashes were identical, they could not determine a winner and canceled each other out.

"Wow~ Two spells overlapping, how interesting!"

The overlapping of magic spells is normal, and Yami showed no surprise, as he had seen it often.

Immediately afterwards, Yami began to charge, and Fang Rui also began to charge. The two of them were like warriors, and began to fight hand-to-hand.

The offense and defense shifted incredibly quickly. Dark slashes shot out in all directions, slicing through trees, cutting gaps in houses, and sending grass clippings and dirt flying everywhere...
