Knight knocks on the black door in front of him.

Then the door opened shortly after. Huge, majestic doors made little noise against their appearance. Is this a magical business too?

Waiting for two people at the end of the door was just darkness. Looking into his eyes, the captain's office is not dark, and the curtains blocking the entrance seem to be blocking the light.

"Isn't the Knight Commander asleep? I don't see anything."

Here Bell recalls that it is still before dawn.

"You'll wake up properly. Here, move on."

Night smiled at Bell, spreading a bright black curtain blocking him in front of him.

Beyond the opening of the curtain, something did exist. It's not just a dark space. The captain's office could not see the whole thing in the dark, but Bell's eyes nailed to what was near the center.

What was there was purple flame. Even if he had seen a bright red flame or a rotting flame, Bell had never seen a purple flame. Still a shallow day as a black magician (grigori), Bell has a lot to learn.

Burning purple flames are again covered in a giant cloth of pitch black. The cloth seemed to be shaped like a robe, and even the hood and sleeves could be checked. When I move my gaze toward my sleeve, a purple flame also pops out of it. Its flames erupting from both sleeves were like human hands.

And I raised my gaze, and there was a face on the purple lit robe. The face is covered with a mask and the expression cannot be read.

The mask was like a skull with two large tunos growing. Its shape, as if it were a demon, stirs human fear. It was a purple flame in the shape of a person that existed in the center of the captain's office.

Its body was huge enough to say whether it would be 4-5 meters. Its size increases its intimidation. This room, which can accommodate a huge "Mono", appears to have a blowout structure that runs from the ground floor to the second floor.

And gradually becoming accustomed to the darkness, Bell realizes that around the purple flames, there are a dozen figures. They all hide their faces in the hood, and they can't know who they are.

"Are you Belle Queer Faust?"

⁉ ︎

Suddenly the voice reached his ear, Bell stood up. At this time it came to the back of Bell's brain what happened that night 11 years ago. It was that moment when Arrosha suddenly came talking to me in the graveyard. Bell, who had come so far with only hope, had come here and begun to arouse suspicion.

"What do you need to be up to? Aren't you looking at me properly, this burning body is who I am? My name is Gregorio."

Again, the purple flame in this man's shape seems to be the Knights Commando. Doc's face, which exists far above, overlooks the bell. Even Gregorio looked horrible. On that face looking down from a high position, Bell felt a sense of intimidation beyond anything else.

"............... oh, my name is Belle Quill Faust. I came here because I wanted to join the Knights of the Black Mages."

"I know. First, let me explain the Knights of the Black Mages."

"... Yes"

"Our Knights, to which the best black magicians (Grigori) from all over the world belong, have a wide variety of purposes. One is collecting orbs. This material is also used by students at Arches School of Magic to contract Black Magic (Grimoire) for the first time and to improve the skills of Knights."

"Then, policing. This is an activity on which the Knights are recognized in the world. Crusade or detain warcraft or criminals who cause harm to humans. Sometimes they deal with black magicians (grigories) who fly rebel flags against the kingdom. It's an important purpose to protect the people."

"And collect Black Magic Book (Grimoire) fragments. The Knights have contributed to the study of black magic (Grimoire) and continue to grow. It is still important to unravel the mysterious Black Magic (Grimoire) logic. It's also a way to discover new possibilities for black magic."

"Finally, be the home of the mind of the Black Mage (Grigori). Many black magicians (grigories) are heartbroken. It is also a place where human beings in similar circumstances are created not to carry their suffering alone by placing themselves in a gathering organization. Grimoire suffers a lot."

"There are many other purposes if the details add up, but this is roughly the case. Basically, the Knights do the mission they are given. I'm not the only one giving you that mission."

Of all the explanations, Bell's particular impression was "to be the home of the mind of a black magician (Grigori)." Bell had never visited a place where many black magicians (Grigori) with similar circumstances had gathered. The Knights are not only places for Black Mages (Grigori) to contribute to the world, but also for Black Mages (Grigori) to support their own minds and defend themselves. That was the most important thing for Bell.

Shortly after that, Bell suddenly leaned down. It's like a switched off robot, your whole body is out of power.

"What's wrong with you? Mr. Bell..."

It was Knight who noticed the anomaly as soon as possible. Bell, who was silently listening to Gregorio, instantly stopped moving.

……………………

Then a lot of silence wrapped up this space. Strangely enough, Bell stands firm with two legs, without falling.

⁉ ︎

Everyone there, including Night at the next moment, perceives the anomaly. Temperatures in the captain's chamber had risen rapidly, and there was pneumonia everywhere.

This dark space looks reddish only with a heart. That unusual heat was causing sweat to erupt from Knight's face.

"You're weird. I don't see an orb where it should be. What's this all about?

Immediately after the anomaly occurs in the Captain's office, Bell instantly raises his face. The voices emitted were unparalleled cold, and their eyes were dyed red.

"You are disrespectful to the Knights Commander."

When I saw the bell that changed my attitude, someone standing around Gregorio shouted. The person's face remained invisible, but it was possible to deduce from the voice that the person was a woman. She's going to jump right over to Bell.

"Leave him alone. This guy right now is not Belle Queer Faust. It's the devil Arrosha."

"But..."

"Stop imitating useless strife, April"

With an instant understanding of what happened in front of her, Gregorio stills the woman.

"... it's Arrosha. Why did you come out on the surface?

"Because I felt something more than just you. You're not a person, are you?

The incarnation of purple flames and the incarnation of red flames are facing each other.

"You should only be able to come out when the lights of Faust's life have weakened. Are you sure that's why you came out?

"I thought so too, but apparently not. Is it any convenience if I come out?

Gregorio was also going to understand how Arrosha deprives Bell of his physical freedom, but apparently the truth is different. Even Arrosha at the time doesn't seem to know the truth about it.

"There's nothing inconvenient about it. Looks like Faust still has a lot of mysteries."

"You haven't answered my question yet, have you? Are you afraid the truth will be revealed here?

Arosha talks in a tone that holds Gregorian secrets. Is the secret hidden in Gregorian's heterogeneous body a prospect for Arrosha?

"What do you say... I am a man, a man who must be. With the protection of the moon, I am the spokesperson for the moon. people and not like any other person at all"

"The Moon, the being that man worships as God........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ It's like a fantasy. It is in the moon that you shine in the night sky, trying to believe in the moon as a god..."

"Are you confused by the devil's words or something? Bring Faust back to consciousness quickly. I won't talk to you any more."

Gregorio blocked Arrosha's words. Beyond that, was it also a difficult word to say?

"You just have to keep lying that way forever. I know who you are, old friend."

"I'm not gonna let that happen... you stupid devil"

"Which is foolish............"

It was Arrosha who was about to come to terms with Gregorio's identity, but there the demon's voice was interrupted.

Bell's body falls to the floor, as if his soul had fallen out.

"Dear Gregorio, what have you done?

"I didn't do anything, Dissenber."

If Gregorio hasn't done anything, who and what has suppressed Arrosha?

"It's Faust. Are you awake?

"Yeah? Oh, oh..."

Not yet clear of consciousness, Bell doesn't know who the person who spoke up to him is.

"Ki, you! disrespectful!"

A person named April, who was just outraged by Bell, roughs up his voice again. She seems to have double respect for Gregorio.

"Don't be in such a hurry, April. Don't hate newcomers."

"............ Yes"

"Let's get started, then. Belle Quelle Faust. I welcome you to the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) and I recognize you as a knight."

Gregorio's voice was low and he roared all over the room.

Immediately after that, when Gregorio united the two palms together in spirit, the captain's office, which was dark, was enveloped by purple light. The dubious brilliance attracted everyone there.

After a while the purple light disappears and Bell notices a certain change. When I dropped my gaze at my feet, there was a purple glowing magic formation there. The purple magic formations existed only at Bell's feet.

"I'll give you a piece of my power."

As it was, Gregorio waved his right hand gently clockwise to draw an arc.

Then, light just dazzling occurs in the air. The light put together a brilliance of purple and gold, concentrating on one point to increase the glare.

Immediately after that, a light so strong that it can't keep its eyes open runs all over the room. This forced everyone here to close their sights.

When Bell opened his eyes, crystals were being produced there. It's designed like an O enclosed the alphabet G, and at first glance it looks like metal. G and O are acronyms for Gligoli Order meaning the Knights of Grigori.

Bell had a sense of ready-to-see in the crystal. The identity was Knight's belt buckle. The Knights seem to wear that crystal as a buckle on their belts.

"This is a sign that you are part of the Knights. A crystal born using me and your power as a mediator. It's the only proof. No one can duplicate this."

As the Knights ID slowly descended, it descended on Bell's palm.

"Belle Quill Faust. You become a member of the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) and pledge to obey your life at any time?

"I swear..."

The moment Bell answers, Gregorio turns his left hand counterclockwise. Then this time, a purple light stretched out of his hand into Bell's.

⁉ ︎

Eventually, the purple light will cover Bell's left wrist.

To the sudden event, Bell accidentally jumped back. Even after the body comes off the magic formation at your feet, the suspicious light that covers Bell's left wrist doesn't go away.

"No need to be surprised. It's a" chain of loyalty "to the Knights. As long as you're a Knights member, it's a mark that's engraved on your body."

Eventually the purple light that wraps Bell's left hand fades away. What emerged from that light was a bright black ring that surrounded Bell's left wrist all the way. That ring, like darkness that swallowed everything, gradually became smaller and stuck perfectly to Bell's left wrist.

Not long after, the black dark ring disappeared, as if it were to be absorbed by Bell's left wrist. Then on its left wrist emerged what Gregorio called a “mark”.

That mark, which floated around Bell's left wrist, was shaped like a black chain and seemed to represent a connection between the Knights and the Knights. It also looked like the G of the alphabet was in a row.

"In the face of difficulty, the proof and the chain will be the power to save you. Now it's sunny and you're part of the Knights. That power which I have given is made up of oaths. Break your vows, and then the power will strip you of your fangs."

Bell has now officially become a member of the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori).

……………

When he finally got his place, Belle breathed. Now at this moment the bell opened many doors of possibilities, and at the same time incurred responsibilities as the Knights.

"It's Faust. From now on, you will act with Dissenber. Go to Arches Church and let you master the art of controlling sleeping demons. A special lecturer should already be waiting at the church."

"Huh? From now on?

Bell can't hide his confusion in a directive that's too steep. Dawn not long ago. Bell finally got to this place after a short break.

"I'm sorry, but that's the thing. This, uniform. Let's go."

Night, who at some point prepared a uniform for Bell, laughs bitterly.

"Er..."

Bell, who never dreamed of continuing his training, is discouraged. You have to face Arosha, who sleeps inside you on an insomniac break. Given what he was waiting for, Bell couldn't even look up.

"haha...... then I'll come train you responsibly bell"

Knight greeted Gregorio and took Bell behind the captain's office. Knight, sympathetic to Bell for what has become a hell of a hard schedule, just keeps laughing bitterly.

Bell and Knight's departed captain's office.

Indeed, the burning purple flames that were there until just now have neglected to disappear. Where did Gregorio disappear, the head of the regiment who was releasing all that presence and intimidation?
