BLACK CLOVER:The singularity mage

Chapter 26: 16."The Chosen Master



Location: Clover Kingdom - Magic Knights Headquarters

Following the earth-shaking battle between the Magic Knight Captains, the air across the kingdom was electric with anticipation. The question on everyone's lips was simple:

Who would become Grim Aragon's master?

Julius, in his wisdom, made a bold decision.

> "Rather than choose outright, Grim shall spend time with each of the four captains who showed the strongest resolve. Let him decide through experience."

The chosen four:

Mereoleona Vermillion

Yami Sukehiro

Charlotte Roselei

William Vangeance

And yet, before training with any of them, Grim was sent on a brief detour...

Arrival at the Crimson Sand Dojo - Sister Teresa's Sanctuary

The sun filtered gently through the trees in a remote forest monastery. Birds chirped. Mana flowed peacefully through the air.

Sister Teresa, the retired Crimson Lioness and the most formidable battle nun in the kingdom, stepped out of the monastery barefoot, her white robes swaying in the breeze.

Grim stood before her, confused.

"I thought I was going to train with the captains?"

She smiled. "You're not ready. Not mentally. Not spiritually. You have battle instinct—but no self-control. Before you become a weapon, you must become a person."

Training Under Sister Teresa

At first, Teresa believed this would be like training any other prodigy. But Grim was something else.

From day one, his monstrous talent stunned her.

Even without prior control, his body instinctively adjusted to mana circulation. He learned in days what took most knights years.

1. Mana Breathing & Body Discipline

Grim sat beneath a waterfall, not just enduring the cold—but using it to regulate his mana output.

When Teresa tried to surprise him with staff slaps, his battle instinct reacted before her swing even landed, dodging perfectly without breaking meditation.

> "...His instincts... they predict the fight before it begins..." she whispered.

2. Mental Clarity & Meditation

Wild animals avoided him—not out of fear, but reverence.

In his mind, memories flickered—his past life's trauma echoing faintly—but he silenced them with focused breathing.

Teresa saw him meditating for 36 hours straight, his aura stabilized in perfect flow.

3. Physical Conditioning

Grim raced up the mountain with 200-pound logs like they were feathers.

He sparred with Teresa using only minimal mana—and still read her movements, dodging blows no child should ever be able to react to.

His eyes glowed slightly during combat, his instincts refining themselves in real-time.

4. Magic Enhancement Mastery

Teresa tried to teach him reinforcement slowly, but Grim absorbed the entire theory in one day.

He reinforced his legs and instantly vanished from her sight—reappearing midair.

With just raw theory and instinct, he began merging singularity magic with basic enhancement to create new, efficient combat movements.

> "This boy... he doesn't need instruction. He needs a battlefield..."

She stepped back in awe. Even the captains may be underestimating him...

Graduation: Teresa's Blessing

After mere weeks—an impossible timeline—Grim stood calmly, his posture precise, eyes glowing with control and calm.

She smiled warmly. "You're no longer a wild child. You're a warrior now. Just remember: the stronger your heart, the brighter your flame."

Grim bowed deeply. For the first time, he felt a mentor's genuine approval that didn't stem from fear or obligation.

> In the shadows of the monastery, even the birds bowed in silence.

First Training: Mereoleona Vermillion

Grim stood at the edge of a volcano.

Mereoleona cracked her knuckles. Her eyes gleamed.

"You survived the nun. Now let's see if you can survive the sun."

She lunged forward with blazing fury—
