The moment of truth and after a few mages went up and showed their stuff, his number was called and boy did it feel like there was some new pressure he never felt before. Was it the Magic Knights themselves giving off this aura or was it the people who were watching or was it a mix of both? All of it mattered and yet did not as it was his time to show this stuff and see what he can do in front of the many head honchos of the magic knight captains. ‘Might as well get it over with because it aint gonna get any easier if I sit back and wait till the last moment…’, he said as the click of his steps echoed through the hall as he got to the center.The green haired girl caught his eye as she used his spells he’d been working on for a while. Causing a commotion over her display after she showcased her spells did little to dissuade him from going up. His facial expression remained calm and resolute as he glanced up at all of them. A grin started to form on his face as he made his introduction himself. His tone of voice carrying a somewhat cocky and yet lax aura around it as he bows jokingly.
“Names Alexander Valentine and I am for one thing and it's to get stronger and see how far I can go...and I’ll spare you any of the small details for the sake of everyone's time”, he said as he gestures to somewhat appease the masses as his voice echoed through the place in question. He was never the type for public speaking or flowering up his words; the war over the years made his skill of speaking more geared towards small talk, to entertain anyone he comes across. Talking with the sort of calm inflection and yet subtle energy came with being a traveler as he spoke as he breathed. It also helps improve his image as he is possibly one of the many commoners coming before these knights and it doesn't hurt to entertain them. “My magic is Lightning Magic and its my main use of it is to boost up my physical abilities and deal some major damage. You want another speedy and heavy hitting mage? Do you want a fresh new mage you can train to your liking? Then I’m your guy. Though it seems you caught a glimpse of a few of my spells from an earlier participant...I promise you I have more up my sleeve than just one spell.”, he said as he brought out his grimoire. The design was an appearance of a white book that adorned with various details but the most notable feature was the face on its cover.
Mana began to flow around him as his eyes began to glow and his body began to spark and crackle with electricity. “Lengthy introductions were never my thing, so let's get started!”, he exclaimed as he began to use his first new spell, Lightning Road!. He took a deep breath as he slowly took a fighting stance before a flurry of jabs and kicks started to come out. It was normal at the start but he began to gather up his speed as he started to build up his momentum. His movements got faster and faster until he started dashing about the area with various kicks and strikes that were aimed at the various captains.
He followed display with one more spell as he imbued his body one more with lightning but more energy flowed around his arms as he swift chopping motion to the air in front of him as a Shining cross of lighting soon followed in his wake. He did it a few more times to the area around him as he wanted to be flashy just this once as he came to a stop. But then he started back up as he made various shots towards the sky as he made an odd hand gesture as he shot towards a cloud a total of about five times for more or less. It was around this point where the real fun began as he came to one of the spells he enjoyed working on the most.
As he came to the proper stopping point, he continued on as he clapped his hands and activated his next spell as a blade of lightning began to form in his hands. It sparked and crackled as it did as he exhaled and slowed before taking a few slashes in the air in the area before him as he kept building his speed more and more. He visualized the rock he practiced on for weeks on end training the spell as each movement was branded into his very soul. He continued to flourish and slash at the air until he ended off his flurry of slashes with one more thunderous slash that ended with a flash of lightning.
He came to a stop as he halted his momentum by simply stepping on the floor with a light tap and exhaling. It was quite fun to showcase these spells in front of a crowd but it seemed to a bit lacking compared to the others he had seen so far. That and his other spells were spoiled by a thief who he doesn't even know. However despite the display, he made it a point to show that he wasn't even exhausted by the display. Being a wanderer has its perks for having a good poker face and this was no exception.
Alexander turned to look up at the various Magic Knight Captains and winking at Artemis as he saw her for a moment before speaking. “I still have much to learn in terms of what I want to do...but I'm prepared to endure any and all training you will put me through once you give me the time.”, he holstered his grimoire behind him as he finished his demonstration with some parting words. “ Thank you for your time and I do hope you consider me a proper candidate for one of your squads”, he bowed as he went back to his pillar to catch his breath. Giving an rather playful gesture to the next person in line.
He sighed a breath of relief as he was finally done with his display of spells. Never once has he actually had to this sort of thing before, much less be silently judged for everything he must have done. But he took it all in stride as he didn't care much about the others in there, unless they were strong and willing to fight him. Alexander knows full well he is a small frog in a huge ocean of monsters, but he keeps his eyes on the prize.As long as he survives and lives to fight another strong opponent then he will get stronger to keep up with the monsters.
In any case, he cant wait to see what the captains can do and what kind of opponents he’ll run into once this is all done with. For now, he sat down at the foot of the pillar and watched the next set of mages to do their thing with a smile on his face.
