Adam looked utterly resigned; tomorrow was the day of departure, and while the sweet potato feast was abundant, he really didn't want to get diarrhea.
"Roasted sweet potatoes, fried sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, sweet potato soup, sweet potato pudding..."
For the remote Hage Village, this truly was a luxurious feast.
"Asta, eat slowly!"
Adam held a pudding in his hand and took a bite.
"Delicious! If only it wasn't made of sweet potato, it would be even better!" Adam couldn't help but say.
"Adam! Apologize to Lily!" Hearing Adam's lament, Asta pounced like a wolf.
"Asta, are you crazy?" Adam quickly stood up, a warm glow condensing in his mouth, ready to show this little dwarf what he was capable of.
"Everyone, stop!"
A giant fist made of condensed water slammed the two of them into the wall.
Asta acted as a human cushion, while Adam bore the brunt of the water's impact.
"Adam, Asta is so funny, haha!"
The children laughed.
The atmosphere instantly became lively, and Adam rubbed his back, realizing Lily was indeed extraordinary!
She was too fast; he couldn't dodge at all.
"Family, huh..."
Hearing the children's words, a faint smile curved Adam's lips.
"Asta, don't eat it all! Save some for me!" Adam joined the food-搶食 battle...
"Adam! Asta! Yuno! Take care of yourselves and be careful on the road!"
"Mhm!"
Bidding farewell to the church members, the Three people, Adam, Asta, and Yuno, embarked on their journey to the Royal Capital.
"Why am I running with these two guys!"
Adam was panting with exhaustion; he really couldn't understand Asta and Yuno—did they have infinite stamina?
They were both so stubborn!
Both of them!
"Slow down, you two."
Adam gritted his teeth, looked at their retreating figures, and forced himself to follow.
If only he had awakened the power of a rabbit!
Adam caught a very peculiar chicken: purple feathers, an enormous comb, sharp claws, and even a unique energy emanating from its body.
"This chicken is truly something else!"
The Three people, Adam, Asta, and Yuno, ate with gusto, really wishing they could bring some back to Hage Village.
What a hard life they led in that place; there wasn't even anywhere to hunt game or catch fish.
What Adam didn't notice was that as he ate this magic chicken, on the tenth page of his grimoire, the edge of the chicken graphic lit up with a faint glow.
Mist, valleys, deserts... What kind of hellish place was Hage Village anyway?
No wonder there was nothing there.
Adam began to doubt his life, looking at Asta and Yuno, then at himself.
"You two are truly incredible!"
Asta turned his head, confused, and asked, "Adam, what's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
Adam looked almost like a "savage," while those two boys looked perfectly fine.
It was truly unfair.
"Ahead is the Royal Capital!"
Upon a massive mountain, the capital city of the Clover Kingdom was built.
"I will definitely become the Magic Emperor!"
Asta took the lead, with Yuno following closely behind.
"I want to buy some clothes first..."
...Can't afford it, too expensive!
Adam's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the prices in the clothing store.
"Never mind, let's just go!"
Adam no longer cared and followed Asta and Yuno to the Knight Order's examination site.
"You are number 162, but your grimoire is so thin..."
"Mind your own business!"
Even being reborn twice, coupled with his shameless personality, Adam still showed a hint of unnaturalness on his face.
"Why do these annoying birds keep flying around me!"
The Anti-Birds around Adam, though close to him, also kept a slight distance.
It seemed these stupid birds were also wondering why this guy without magic gave them a feeling that if they got too close...
They would be burned to ashes!
"Hūhā~"
Run!
Adam held a wisp of flame in his mouth, and the surrounding Anti-Birds, sensing something was wrong, immediately scattered and flew away.
They flew onto other people.
"Why? The Anti-Birds around that guy actually ran away?"
"Just like that Four-Leaf Clover, he doesn't have a single Anti-Bird around him."
"But his clothes are so tattered; he really must be from a remote area."
Adam overheard this harsh remark.
"Superior, are they..."
Adam stared intently at the person on his right, a hint of madness in his eyes.
The dragon-shaped semicircle in his grimoire was slowly moving forward.
Anger would ignite the dragon's desire!
"When will this annoying noise truly disappear!"
Adam then turned to look at Asta, where the constipated captain had just left.
Huha the Great, was it?
Adam's memories from his previous life were already a bit hazy; some things he could no longer recall.
This scruffy guy seemed to be Asta's "stepping stone."
Never mind!
"The Knight Order Captains are here!"
To the cheers of the crowd, the captains of the Silver Eagle, Lion, and Mantis Squads... a total of nine captains appeared.
"So beautiful!" Adam's DNA was stirred; this blonde, braided beauty was simply too gorgeous.
"No, I must join the Coral Peacocks." Adam silently apologized to the Black Bulls Squad in his heart.
"The Crimson Lion Kings are also good; Sleeping Beauty has a fairy tale feel to her."
Adam shook his head, instantly startled in his heart; what was wrong with him?
Could it be that he was too pent up?
That's not right either!
Lily was also quite pretty, so why didn't he... "It must be the dragon's power affecting me!"
Adam secretly nodded in his heart; this hateful silver dragon was truly causing him trouble.
"Candidates, thank you for waiting!"
William, the captain of the Golden Dawn Knight Order, opened his grimoire and shouted, "Magic Tree Descends!"
The sky immediately became overcast, and a giant magic tree descended from the heavens, its branches transforming into brooms, which were distributed to each candidate.
"What the heck, how do I fly without magic?"
Adam looked at the broom in his hand, immediately threw it on the ground, used the broom head as a pillow, rested his head on it, and lay on the ground.
"Hūhāhūhā!"
He fell asleep!
First round, slacking off!
"The first round, the broom riding test, begins!"
William looked at the crowd below, waved his hand, and said, "Those who can control their magic can do it by instinct. This is a basic method for a Mage to move. Not being able to do even this is simply unacceptable!"
Everyone began to operate their brooms; unlike Adam's slacking, Asta was still trying hard.
"What's wrong with that guy? He can't even fly!"
"That guy from the remote area actually controls magic better than the nobles."
"What the hell is that? He actually fell asleep during the exam?"
The people in the viewing stands all showed a hint of displeasure.
"Get him out of here!"
The righteous captain of the Crimson Lion Kings also disliked such people and quickly called his attendants to remove Adam.
"Wait!"
William waved his hand at this moment, saying without changing his expression, "For the final showdown, whether he wants to or not, he has to participate!"
"The final item, the practical test!"
Adam slowly opened his eyes, a hint of playfulness in them, and a slight smile on his lips.
"The show is about to begin!"
