Black Clover: Fool's Arcana

Right after Albie launched his spell at the pillar he noticed what seemed to be an inferno coming from one of the other testing areas. "That has to be some kind of noble with more power than control." Still it only proved the old man right when he said that the nobles had an unfair advantage over commoners like him. Honestly the way his spell drilled right through the stone column surprised him, but at least the use of extra mana wasn't a waste, and the few intentional misses in the first part would hopefully cause any future opponents to underestimate him if there were matches of some kind.

While Albie tried to watch as many of the tests after his, it wasn't very useful to him. There were some impressive displays of power and skill, but unlike the double mana bullet trick nothing he could copy or adapt to fit him. At least until number 329, he had no idea if and how he could copy that launcher used to destroy the pillar but Albie didn't doubt that it was a shot to try and learn something similar.

When the third test was revealed Albie's luck seemingly took a turn for the worse. He had no experience with flying a broom. At least spells were allowed but with so many other people flying around he had to be careful not to accidentally hit the wrong person. Besides that he felt like he couldn't risk making his arrows too powerful, even if lethal force would have been allowed he didn't want to kill or seriously hurt anyone here. In the end Albie decided on a simple plan.

"GO!"

It took Albie more than a minute to figure out how to even get his broom in the air, but eventually he succeeded. Trying his best to keep stable he took out his grimoire and just hoped he had mana to both not fall down and cast his most mana intensive spell at the same time, even if it wouldn't be at full power. "Manifold Missiles!" Since he couldn't predict the movement of all the people and balls flying around, he had decided to go with quantity over quality. As he had hoped one of the arrows actually hit a ball and sent it spiraling downwards. Unfortunately it not only was clear that the ball was recovering someone else had also noticed the easy target. Albie had to get it first since he doubted he would get this lucky again so he did his best to fly as fast as he could towards it.

Those of you who haven't posted for the first set of trials yet, don't worry! A little time-displacement won't hurt anything just yet.

As always, questions, comments, concerns, just let me know!

@Zeroth

You do have experience with time-displacement from earlier rp's

Also I just realized that not everyone has posted their accepted character in the cs

@Duthguy I hope they are able to give you something for that, and it gets better!

Oh yikes. I'm sorry you have to go through that. :(

@CaptainManbeard

Second worst medical I have ever had to deal with close to my birthday (Friday the 12th) On july 10th 2013 I heard I would need chemo after one of my testicles got removed earlier that year, and this year I asked for a replacement for the laptop I got back then to have something to do in the hospital. Almost wonder if that has something to do with it. But yeah anyway (in English) my sign is cancer and I had to deal with cancer on my birthday once, fun coincidence :(

That was one of my longest posts ever, if not the longest I ever wrote

Black Clover: Fool's Arcana

Albie was actually somewhat surprised that they old man didn't try to come up with fake info about David Abelona and just admitted he never hear the name before. It did make him seem a bit more trustworthy but Albie remained on guard either way. When the offer for a more private location was outright refused because the old man wanted to see the tryouts Albie didn't know what to say. He hadn't expected the old man to just leave. Luckily while Albie got rid of the magic bullet he had been preparing the old man turned around and warned him about some noble named Snyder Glassard, not only telling him the type of magic Glassard used but also that he was a sadist. "Thanks."

Having gotten at least some info Albie made his own way to the coliseum, seeing the blue-haired girl again on the way. He wondered if she was also going to try out for the Magic Knights and if he should use the chance to talk to her. Unfortunately it seemed she already was in a conversation with another noble and Albie didn't want to interrupt or wait until they were done and risk missing the selection.

Albie hurried into the coliseum and arrived just in for the opening speech, relieved he hadn't missed the explanation of the trails. He was less interested in the introduction of the higher rated squads' captains since he was pretty sure he wouldn't end up joining them. That said he did pay attention, especially as the captains of the Black Bulls, Birusk of Elysia, and Green Mantis, Giles Lavaretz, were mentioned. While he didn't say anything he did agree with the fact that Bisera was hot, but that applied to all the female captains and he had illusions of having a chance with them.

When the first tests were introduced Albie couldn't believe his luck. The first was all about ranged magic and the second one was practically made for his Spinning Mana Arrow, even though he had never tested it on stone. As Albie waited for his turn he paid attention to several of the other try-outs, like the blue haired girl who used some kind of bomb magic judging by how she destroyed the pillar.
Another contestant who had first seemed unremarkable used magic to break the column with his own first, something Albie would never be able to do himself. "Okay, that is impressive." What really blew him away was the pinkhaired girl who fired two magic bullets at once during the same test. He had never tried something like that before himself but figured she should be able to copy her pretty well.

Number 212 Albie Finch

Albie walked towards the official who called out his name and while the rules of the test were explained to him again he studied the movement of the targets trying to find a pattern he could make use off before his time started. Just as he had gotten a good idea of how the target moved his test started. Like most other contestants he used magic bullets, both to hide his actual skill and to save mana. While he didn't use rapidfire like Lanner did Albie did fire magic bullets from both hands, the entire time trying to predict where the targets would be instead of aiming where they were. He didn't count how many he hit but he was sure he had done at least decently well, even with him missing a few on purpose.

The next test wasn't something could pull of with Magic bullets so Albie took out his grimoire. "Arrow Magic: Spinning Mana Arrow" He spent a good bit longer charging it than normal before sending the blue arrow shaped mana towards the column.

Well, I'm suffering from (what is likely) erysipelas on my foot, so that is fun
