Exams

Itachi scanned around and walked to the ending of the line.

To his surprise, Asta and Yuno also walked to the end of the line where he was.

He didn't care and moved forward with the line and reached the place where you're supposed to hand your grimoire and then be given a number.

But Itachi doesn't have a grimoire so he made the person fall under a simple genjutsu and was given the number 163.

After that, he walked straight into the stadium.

People looked at Itachi in surprise as they noticed that none of the mana bird's attacked him.

And when Yuno came, they were even more surprised seeing his four leaf grimoire.

"Hey, isn't that the one that's been talked about recently?" A girl asked.

"I heard he's from Hage village." One man commented.

"Doesn't that mean he's a peasant?" A person replied.

"How could a peasant have so much mana?" One said.

Itachi's lips twitch, worthy of being the protagonist, getting all the attention at the start.

Asta made his entrance, making all of the mana birds fly to him.

"Ow, ow, ow!" Asta shouted.

Asta ran around and ran towards Itachi's direction.

Just when everyone was expecting Asta to crash into him, Itachi's body started to transform into multiple different crows, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Everyone was startled seeing this and Asta kept running forwards, bumping into Yumi, the captain of the black bulls.

Itachi's body reappeared behind a pillar where no one was looking and sat down in peace.

After a while the exam's finally started with fireworks exploding in the sky.

And at this moment Dorothy opened her eyes.

Itachi took this opportunity to open his Mangekyo Sharingan and look Dorothy in the eyes.

He used Tsukuyomi on her and pulled both of them into an illusionary world he made.

The world was pure white with both of them sitting down at a table.

Dorothy was startled and tried using her magic, but to no avail.

"Don't waste your time, I control this world." Itachi said, spawning some tea on a plate.

"I want to talk to you in private, and this is the only way." Itachi said, picking up the tea and drinking.

Dorothy calmed down and looked at Itachi in surprise, recognizing him from the exams.

She couldn't help but marvel at this level of magic, she couldn't do anything about it and was completely under his control.

"So what do you want?" Dorothy said playfully.

"Accept me as your disciple." Itachi said, going straight to the point.

Dorothy was startled hearing this.

"Why? You seem quite powerful. If you wish to join my squad I would've accepted you through the normal process."

Itachi's face was expressionless as he said, "I want to fight with you and also experience your magic abilities."

"Only you have some similarities with my abilities and I wish to have a disciple relationship because of it."

Dorothy nodded, and then thought for a while.

"I'll accept you as my disciple, but you have to tell me about the current illusion we're in."

Itachi nodded and explained the basics of Tsukuyomi.

Her eyes couldn't help but look at Itachi in horror.

"Such a broken magic and still want me to be your master? I don't mind if I do!" Dorothy exclaimed.

"Hell, you can skip out on the exams and come join me up top."

Itachi nodded, he didn't want to go through such boring things.

"I'll appear right behind you once I cancel this."

Right when he said that he shattered the illusion.

Dorothy came back to her senses seeing the world around her and noticed it had been one second.

"He really wasn't lying." She muttered.

Right after she spoke, Itachi behind her, startling the vice captains.

"Hey! Who are you?" Vermilion Kirsch said, pulling out his grimoire.

"Leave him." Dorothy said with her eyes closed.

Vermilion Kirsch reluctantly put his grimoire away, unable to disobey his captain's command.

He focused his attention onto the exam site, where people looked at Itachi who appeared next to Dorothy.

"Who's he?" Asta muttered.

"He was the one you were about to run into." Sekke said, looking at Asta like a fool.

As the exam progressed, Itachi stood by Dorothy's side, observing the various magic users showcasing their skills.

It was a sight to behold, witnessing the diverse range of magic and the raw talent displayed by the participants.

Asta, with his anti-magic abilities, continued to surprise everyone as he defied the odds and overcame numerous obstacles.

Yuno, on the other hand, exhibited his exceptional wind magic, leaving many in awe of his power.

And just like that, the exams ended.

People were called up to be selected into a squad, or not even join one.

Minutes later, Itachi heard his number be called.

"Number 163."

He jumped down from Dorothy's side and looked at her.

Dorothy raised her hand, but no other captain raised their hands.

"Coral Peacocks!" The examiner shouted.

Itachi nodded and his body disappeared with crows coming out and reappearing next to Dorothy.

Everyone's eyes look at Itachi with confusion, not knowing how he did it.

"What magic is that?" William asked in confusion.

"Ah, no clue." Yami said, taking a puff of his cigarette.

Fuegoleon looked at Itachi and murmured, "he isn't an easy character."

All the captains went silent and the exams continued into the night.

"Well, that's everything." Dorothy said, waking up from her sleep.

As the exams concluded, Itachi and the other selected members of the Coral Peacocks gathered in the designated meeting area.

Itachi found himself surrounded by a diverse group of mages, each with their own unique magic and personality.

Dorothy stepped forward, her dreamy eyes surveying her newly formed squad.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Coral Peacocks. From this day forward, we shall embark on a journey together, honing our skills and protecting the Clover Kingdom."

Itachi remained calm.

He was determined to learn from Dorothy and harness his Illusionary abilities in ways that no one had ever imagined.

Dorothy took them all to what looked like a high university dorm.

"You'll be sleeping and studying here." The vice captain said.

He then walked into the building, the rest of the new recruits following after him.

Only Itachi stayed, looking at Dorothy.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, I'll be shy." Dorothy chuckled.

Itachi's face didn't change and looked at Dorothy, "when are we starting."

Dorothy put her finger on her lips and said, "Tomorrow, I'll come pick you up."

Itachi nodded and disappeared, leaving Dorothy alone.

"What an interesting brat." Dorothy muttered and fell asleep.
