The Strongest Ice God of Black Clover

"You're welcome. Attack me with all your strength!" Sekke said proudly to Asta from within his defensive magic cannonball.

Asta's face was expressionless as he replied in a deep voice, "Okay, then I'll go."

Without hesitation, Asta bent his body, pressed down, and planted his feet firmly. Then, with an explosive push, he launched himself forward, shattering the tiles beneath his feet with a loud crack.

In the next moment, he charged at Sekke with incredible speed, his five-leaf Grimoire floating closely behind him.

When the distance was just right, Asta reached into his Grimoire with one hand.

Moments later, he drew a pitch-black longsword and slashed at the defensive magic cannonball with a sharp shua.

Asta's speed was so fast that Sekke, inside the cannonball, was stunned. He had no time to react to the unexpected onslaught.

The moment the dark longsword struck the defensive magic cannonball, the barrier shattered instantly.

Sekke's pupils contracted in terror, and with a loud ah, the jet-black longsword struck him.

Bang.

Sekke was sent crashing into the ground with a heavy impact. The force created a loud boom, leaving cracks shaped like spider webs on the ground.

Sekke lay unconscious in the crater he had created, foam bubbling at the corners of his mouth.

At this moment, everyone present was in utter shock.

The one they believed to be the weakest had defeated Sekke in a single blow.

"No way! Did he just... defeat Sekke with one hit?"

"Could he have been pretending to be weak this whole time?"

"This is terrifying!"

"What kind of magic is that sword?"

····

"Was that high-speed movement magic just now?" wondered the leader of the Golden Dawn squad. However, he quickly dismissed the thought.

"No, that was pure physical strength! And... that Grimoire..."

"This kid is quite interesting," Yami muttered.

"Is it creation magic? His earlier performances were terrible, but I didn't expect him to have such raw power," said a man standing behind Yami.

Yami took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said, "He has no magic power. No... it's not that he's useless, but he literally has no magic power at all. No wonder I couldn't sense any magical energy from him earlier."

Lin Hao observed and mumbled to himself, "As expected of the protagonist with the classic hero's plot armor."

····

Asta rested the black longsword on his shoulder, glaring at the unconscious Sekke. His voice was firm and resolute as he declared:

"I didn't take this exam just to try my best or make some nice memories. I'm putting my life on the line to become the Magic Emperor!"

"The Magic Emperor?"

The crowd burst into laughter at those words.

Although Asta's strike had impressed them, the idea of him becoming the Magic Emperor seemed utterly absurd to them.

"Is this guy serious?"

"Does he even know what he's saying? Poor kid is dreaming."

"Go home, you silly fool."

Hearing their ridicule, Asta's veins bulged in anger. As Lin Hao had expected, he let out a defiant growl.

After Asta's battle, more fights ensued. As time passed, fewer people remained on the field who hadn't fought yet.

"I remember you. You're from the border, like me!"

Hearing the voice, Lin Hao turned around instinctively.

It was Yuno speaking to him.

"You know me?" Lin Hao asked with a curious smile.

Yuno nodded. "I saw you at the Grimoire Tower last time. I didn't expect you'd also take the Magic Knights exam."

"Have you found an opponent yet?" Lin Hao asked.

Yuno shook his head. "How about we team up?"

"Sure," Lin Hao replied.

In this world of the Black Clover, the rankings for magic knights started with third-class lower-level knights, progressing through second-class, first-class, intermediate, and upper levels.

Above the upper-level magic knights were the Great Magic Knights, with the Magic Emperor reigning supreme.

Both Yuno and Lin Hao had reached the level of first-class lower-level magic knights.

Most of the others in the examination room were still at the third-class lower level.

"Next! Who's up?" the referee called.

"I'll go!" Yuno replied, stepping forward.

Seeing Yuno on the field, several noble children decided to challenge him, intrigued by his reputation as a genius with the four-leaf clover Grimoire.

One particularly bold noble stepped onto the field, ignoring whether Yuno had already chosen an opponent.

However, just as the noble stepped forward, Lin Hao's hand landed firmly on his shoulder with a loud slap.

"What do you think you're doing?" Lin Hao asked coldly.
