Kana and Yuno watch by the sideline as Sekke has offered to fight with Asta as the first match. They actually have a bad feeling with the blonde-haired boy but knowing Asta, he's much more than he looks or acts.

"Let's both give it our all and fight fair, so we can achieve our goals!" The shorter boy encourage.

Sekke approaches him and pats his shoulder laughing. He says something to Asta which they couldn't hear but by the expression on the ash-blonde haired boy, it wasn't something pleasant accept for the last part as he pompously states. "Hurry back to your village in the boonies and continue enjoying your crappy life. Bah-ha!" With that, he walks away taking his position leaving his opponent's eyes to widen.

"Sekke chose the weakest-looking guy." Someone comments.

Kana's fists clench as she stands by Yuno's side who silently looks up ahead.

"Begin!" The referee announces.

"No holding back, all right? Let's do this, Asta! Bah-ha!" Sekke smirk, summoning his grimoire. A cracking transparent light blue starts forming around him ending up like a sphere. "Bronze Creation Magic: Sekke Magnum Cannonball!"

"Lame." The red-haired girl comment in a boring tone as she leans against the pillar.

"That's no need to hold back. Come at me! Bah-ha!" The blonde-haired boy taunt.

"Sure thing. Here I go." Asta simply states as he summons his grimoire, a swirl of darkness with crimson red emitted around him, and in a flash, he took off and took out the black rusty looking sword. In a blink he easily destroys Sekke's Magnum Cannonball hitting the owner directly. The force of Asta hitting him leaving the floor with a massive crate.

A proud look takes over both his childhood friends as they watch the short boy easily defeated his opponent.

The impact of the force that hit directly to Sekke has left him unconscious with bubbles forming out of his mouth.

"I'm not joining the Magic Knights so I can have a good time and avoid working hard," Asta states swinging his sword over his shoulder. "I'm here to work my butt off and become the Wizard King!"

Kana glance over Yuno who held a grin on his face knowing so well what's on his mind then back to the shorter boy. 'He has grown even stronger.'

"Is that sword.... Magic?" Murmur starting from around her.

"Wasn't he just some loser from the boonies?"

"What the heck?"

"Who is he?"

"He just... said something about the Wizard King."

"All of you shut up! I told you, I'm going to become the Wizard King!" Asta who had enough shout. "You got a problem with that?!"

The red hair girl sigh with an amused look as she glances over the black-haired boy. "Come on, let's sit under the shade."

Yuno simply nods as he walks behind her as they go and lean against the wall walking past people who still bad-mouthing Asta.

"Is he stupid?"

"What the heck is that peasant from the boonies saying?"

"Must be embarrassing being a completely delusional idiot."

"Just get outta here already, you stupid brat!"

"Tch." Kana clicks her tongue in annoy. The other contestants froze as they slowly turn around only to see eerie aura emitting from her. "What is it again about the boonies? I may not be hearing you guys right." She narrows her eyes.

They all gulp nervously and shake their heads in sync and quickly disperse not wanting to test the girl's temper. They have watched her through all tests and she seems to almost on the same level as the boy beside her.

"Kana-chan, there smoke coming out of you," Yuno comments as he watches in amuse as smoke coming out of her head.

The exam continues with some other contestants battling each other while the duo still watches from the sideline with no opponents yet.

"You know.." Kana start as spare Yuno a glance. "If we didn't pick our opponent now, we could end up fighting each other. What do you think? Want to fight me?"

The wind magic user glances downside watching as she keeps on peeking up at him. "....."

"'Yuno,' wasn't it?" Someone approaches them catching both of their attention only to fall on a boy with long blond hair that tied back in a long ponytail.

"You seem to be having a hard time finding an opponent. Why don't you pair up with me?" The newer arrive blond hair boy offer with a look of confidence written on his face.

The black-haired boy peeks over his childhood friend who already looking at him. The girl shrug telling him that she's fine with it, but just as she took a step forward, she slowly mutters so that only he can hear. "Beat the crap out of him."

A small smile appears on Yuno's face as he releases a small chuckle as he continues toward the center for battle.

"Isn't that?"

"Salim?"

"From the famous Hapshass family?"

Kana calmly lean against the wall as she listens to the disbelief tone from the other contestants. She watches Salim boy says something toward Yuno who just silently let his opponent speaks but the boy frown and glance over her for a second along with the noble's son who had a smirk on his face, feeling satisfied.

The red hair girl tilts her head in confusion but another set footsteps approaching her catch her attention. She glances over her left only to fall on a timid-looking girl who jumps upon her eyes befall on her.

A light blue braided-hair girl visibly shaking as their eyes meet. She wears a cute mini white-sailor dress with a dark blue ribbon over her chest and a large one on her back, pair with dark blue sandals.

Her fingers meet as she nervously fidgeting and seems to regret her choice of approaching the red hair who have managed to scare off many contestants that include her.

"Yes?" Kana raises her eyebrows only to watch the girl almost in tears and she visibly flinches.

"A-a-a-a-a-a-no..... Do- can- y-y-yo-"

The flame user watches shock as the girl starts rambling with her eyes swirling from being too nervous. Even her hands move randomly in the craziness. "H-hey, calm down. I can't understand what you're saying?"

Those words seem to finally shut the blue-haired girl rambling as she freezes.

"W-why don't you take a breath first okay? Now, in." Kana add as she motion for the girl to follow her as she took a breath in which the other girl gladly follow. Then she slowly breaths out. "And gently let it out."

The blue hair girl follows the instructions and slowly breaths out. A smile appears on her face feeling a bit better. "T-thank you. I tend to be nervous about everything." She sheepishly states, scratching the back of her neck.

Kana offers her a smile. "It's fine. I'm glad that I could help. So, what you were saying earlier?"

"Ah!" A look of realization hit the blue-hair girl and she starts playing with her fingers once again. "Ano, um- I- um- would you mind being my opponent?!" She quickly rambles out, bowing over the other girl.

The red hair girl's eyes widen at the suddenness and chuckle.

The sailor girl straightens up and her eyes swirls, not expecting such a reaction.

Upon feeling the girl's nervousness, Kana peek over the blue hair girl. "Sure, why not?"

A huge wave of breeze emitted from the battle catch both girls' attention only to befall on Yuno's Towering Tornado that has beat Salim by making him fall off his consciousness.

"Let's go." Kana calmly spoke up snapping the blue-haired girl out of trace who in awe by Yuno's magic.

"Eh? Hai!" She quickly follows behind as they both walk over the field.

Yuno watch as the red hair girl walks toward him and a smile appear on his face. "I win."

The flame user scoff in amuses. "Like I gonna let you lose." Their fists connect as they walk past each other.

"Uwo! Go Kana-chan!" The obnoxious cheer of Asta echoing through the battlefield. "Beat them up!"

Kana sweat drops but regains herself as her eyes fall on her opponent who writes something on her palm and swallows it. "Nee, would you mind telling me your name?"

The blue hair girl stop from her chanting and a smile appear on her face. "Oh right! The name is Hiromi, Hiromi Yoko." She bows.

"Kana." The flame user simply states back. "Last question, are you a noble?"

"Eh? N-no way. I'm just someone from the fishing village!" She rambles.

"Hee, guess that good for you."

Hiromi swallows in shock as she looks at the look on her opponent's face. A chill runs down her body as she can almost touch the hatred emitting from the red hair girl. But she tries to compose herself by widening herself, ready for the battle.

Kana fix her stance over her grimoire, also readying herself with her eyes fixed to her opponent.

The referee glances back and forth between the contestants and raises his arm. "Begin!"
