New Order Recruitment (1)

"There are about 5000 of you hmm, well I guess more than I expected but the ones to be selected in here are only 300

We don't have much time to test all of you with proper methods one by one so we will do it my way...

All of you... Come at me..."

As Marshall said that everyone present on ground sucked in cold breath and looked at Marshall with surprise

Each knight present there was at least Tier 6, and challenging them all alone was not a wise choice for even a Sword God

"Challenging more than 5000 knights all at once, that's some serious guts..."

Rin muttered with interested look, Klaus nodded with calm look over his face and said

"Just keep watching kiddo... That man standing there is really a man that even Gods admire, at least I do..."

As Klaus said that all attention gathered over Marshall, and suddenly Seraphim also appeared behind Klaus and Rin

"Having fun alone..."

Klaus and Rin turned back to look an Seraphim for a moment and Klaus gave a simple reply

"Not like we had stopped you from coming here"

Seraphim didn't replied to Klaus but just silently sat besides Rin with interested look over her face

"That man... Just how did you get him..."

Klaus also didn't replied to Seraphim's curiosity and just grinned while looking ahead

Marshall just took out his sword from the back and commanded the others

"Then begin ..."

As Marshall commanded none of knights showed any hesitation in their movements, they also knew who their opponent was

Just being a Tier 9 being holds a lot of authority and this man in front of them was clearly above average even among the men

All knights rushed at Marshall all at once some from left while some from right, there were many who decided to use sky as their stage and jumped directly on top of Marshall from the top

Marshall was completely surrounded by thousands of strong men but instead of getting much serious he just took his sword in casual manner and a grin appeared over his face

As if he was dealing with an attack on a bunch of toddlers while he himself was the veteran babysitter in this situation

His sword finally moved, and as soon as Marshall started the eyes of Klaus, Elena, Seraphim and Lilith immediately shone in surprise

The hands of Marshall seemed to be clearly visible to naked eyes which was quite abnormal behaviour for someone of his standards

But not a single man who was attacking Marshall managed to get even a glance of Marshall's sword

The golden dot in Klaus's eyes was shining brightly at that time, Klaus had also placed his hands over Rin's head

A golden dot was also shining inside her eyes too, both watched Marshall's sword in a little slowed motion

Rin observed Marshall's sword moving like an unpredictable flow of water

Marshall's sword touched the swords of other knights and immediately turned to another direction just like a wave

But the other swords that had been touched by Marshall no longer remained in same place again

Practically what Marshall was doing could only be called as defence or deflecting or even a possible fake move but

The men whose sword had been touched by Marshall immediately got tossed dozens of meters away as if they were balls of cotton thrown away just by a simple wave

Rin saw all that and only word that could come out of her mouth was

"Water wave..."

Klaus shook his head over Rin's comment, Klaus could even sense the force and pressure exerted at that tiny moment of contact between the swords

Marshall's sword aura was literally exploding after being in contact with other swords in just a moment

"Na kiddo... That's a whole tsunami..."

Rin heard Klaus and the golden dot in her eyes suddenly widened a little, next moment all four who could possibly see the movements of sword noticed Marshall's moves

The knights by now have noticed the situation and they knew the real situation here

It was not Marshall who was being prey of a bunch of wolves here, it was the wolves who were the prey of the lion in here

The knights who were thrown back stood back again and those who were rushing at Marshall changed their strategy

Now there was a sudden synergy and sync on their moves, all knights moved over certain directions

Some made fake moves to disturb Marshall's gaze from others

But there was one thing that was weird in here, normally while selecting the men the men will try to stand out and be the centre of attention

It was to show they are competent and deserving but this disrupted whole condition and strategy of the team itself

But what was going on in here was just an absolutely perfect team work, complete trust over each comrade

None of those knights were trying to stand out or make others look in dark for getting position in new knight order

It wasn't like they didn't want to be in that new order which will give them a lot of advantages and reputation

But it was just how they were from their basic fundamentals, what they concentrated was what their goal was

Their goal on current situation wasn't taking a place in new knight order, their goal was to defeat Marshall

And there was one more special condition here in the test, none out of 5000 knights knew even the basic conditions given by Marshall for them to be here

Marshall watched all knights forming position and next moment what everyone noticed was

Marshall was surrounded by all sides by knights and all knight were standing in shape of a snake with sharp eyes ready to reap the soul of Marshall right there

Seeing this Marshall suddenly started grinning with happiness

"Good! The 'Goal of Sword'!!! First condition fulfilled!!!"

Next all knights got even more fired up and using their strategies the knights from the sides attacked Marshall first

Marshall noticed it easily but as he was going to move this sword other knights from front and back also made their moves

But that's where they got fooled by experience of Marshall, what Marshall held was a giant sword that was almost as big and broad as his body itself

Marshall moved his wrist and placed his sword in front of his body like a shield and suddenly started making a curve with sword stabbed to ground

The ground started forming cracks and next moment whole ground shattered as Marshall dragged his sword which was stabbed in ground forming a round circle there

All knights in formation were tossed away because of exploded ground, Marshall took opportunity and dashed at the nearest knight in front of him

Marshall slashed his sword the knight in horizontal position, the tip of his sword reached the gap left for eyes in the helmet of that knight

The naked sword of Marshall passed only about 1 mm away from the eyes of a knight, he had eyes widened in shock and legs trembling but he didn't blinked

He had a deep trust over his comrade, next moment other three knights nearby slashed their blades towards Marshall's chest forcing him to retreat back

"Excellent! Second condition fulfilled! 'A trusted Sword!'!!!"

Rin was absolutely baffled in current condition after watching what just happened right in front of her

"Did those knight... Just denied their physical body reflex..."

Klaus was also more interested as he continued watching it, Lilith on the ground saw that and muttered

"This guy of going to snatch the good ones right in front of my eyes like this..."

The knights had suddenly turned into fury blades under a certain order and kept their moves in full offence while giving the others time to make better preparations

They kept making slashes and stabs towards Marshall forcing him you retreat

Marshall also didn't seemed to be in hurry, rather he was also curious over their next move and just then Marshall noticed there hidden card in here

Marshall suddenly noticed the presence of a female black haired female knight with sword rushing towards Marshall's waist from the back in stabbing position

'Got him!!!'

But that was just the thought of the female knight right there, Marshall easily flipped over in air and landed at ground right on her back

The girl looked back in shock but by then Marshall's cold heavy sword was already right on top of her head and few hairs of hers were slowly falling to ground

All knights stopped on their tracks as they noticed Marshall's blade and trembling girl under that blade

"That was actually quite good lady, it was really a great idea to come up with something so unexpected...

Hiding while knowing your shortcomings in frontal battle and waiting for timing to show your worth at right time

This fulfills my third and last basic condition... 'Creation of Sword'...

Well since we are done with warm up lets get the test officially started..."
