Chapter 6: The Mystic Cavaliers

As soon as the mage returned he was soon invited to the mystic cavaliers, the army force working to protect the realm. The invitation to join the esteemed ranks of the Mystic Cavaliers filled Sleeve's heart with a mixture of excitement and pride. To be recognized for his skills and chosen to be part of the defenders of the realm was an honor he could scarcely believe.

Sleeve made his way through the inner areas of the kingdom, where the Mystic Cavaliers were headquartered. The air was filled with an air of anticipation and camaraderie as he passed by fellow mages and warriors, each adorned with their distinctive squad insignias.

Upon reaching the grand hall of the Mystic Cavaliers, Sleeve was greeted by a commanding figure clad in the resplendent armor of the Cavaliers. It was Captain Reyna, a seasoned warrior known for her indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to the realm's protection.

"Welcome, Sleeve," Captain Reyna's voice resonated with authority and warmth. "You have proven yourself to be a formidable force, despite the absence of traditional magic. Your mastery over anti-magic has caught the attention of our council."

Sleeve bowed respectfully, expressing his gratitude for the opportunity. "I am honored to be part of the Mystic Cavaliers, Captain Reyna," he replied. "I am ready to serve and protect the realm with all my abilities."

Captain Reyna nodded approvingly. "Your determination and unique skills make you an asset to our cause," she said. "However, before you join your designated squad, there are three tests you must undergo to assess your readiness."

Sleeve listened attentively as Captain Reyna explained the nature of the tests. The first was the flying test, which posed a challenge for Sleeve due to his lack of magical abilities. Undeterred, he relied on his anti-magic, utilizing it to repel the gravity waves that hindered his ascent. Though not the most graceful flyer, Sleeve demonstrated resilience and resourcefulness, earning him the respect of the evaluators.

In the subsequent combat test, Sleeve's skills with his black katana and his command over anti-magic were put to the test. His movements were swift and precise, his strikes infused with the power to neutralize magic. With each opponent he faced, Sleeve showcased his ability to counter and disarm, impressing both his adversaries and the evaluators.

Finally, the written test examined Sleeve's knowledge of ancient spells, the history of the kingdom, and tactical strategies. Drawing upon his avid reading and years of study, he excelled in the written examination, showcasing his comprehensive understanding of the mystic arts.

When the tests concluded, Captain Reyna announced the results. Sleeve's exceptional performance in the combat and written tests had secured him a place in Squad 2, one of the elite groups entrusted with critical missions. A sense of pride swelled within him as he stood among his fellow squad members, eager to forge bonds and prove their mettle together.

As the ceremony concluded, Captain Reyna extended her hand to Sleeve. "Welcome to Squad 2, Sleeve," she said, her eyes gleaming with confidence. "You have demonstrated remarkable potential, and we trust in your abilities to defend our realm. May your journey as a Mystic Cavalier be filled with valor and triumph."

Sleeve clasped Captain Reyna's hand firmly, a sense of purpose and duty coursing through his veins. The path of the Mystic Cavaliers lay before him, and he was prepared to face whatever challenges awaited, armed with his unique powers and the unwavering determination to protect the kingdom he held dear.

Note :The mystic cavaliers are divided into 8 squads based on their performances they can be promoted to higher squads if they perform better.
