CHAPTER 5
-Grimoire Awarding Ceremony Day-
"Wow! A-Are all of these grimoires?" Asta, ask out loud, gaping at the sight of so many grimoires inside the Grimoire Tower. "Which one is mine?"
Kana glance at the ash-blond hair hype boy as he looks more determined as ever in worry. She looks over the dark-haired boy who remain unreadable and sigh. She tries to remain calm as she also wonders how her grimoire would look like that was until.
"Hey, look over there." She hears someone point over. "Pathetic, isn't it? They shouldn't have to give grimoires to dregs like that." That person spoke out loud on purpose.
"You said it." Another agrees.
"Don't tell me they're actually planning on taking the Magic Knights' entrance exams, too."
"Only nobles born with immense magical power or ties to the royal family ever get in." They chuckle like it some sort of joke to them.
"Besides, I heard that shrimp can't even use magic!"
"Wow... Then we need to take-"
They, however, didn't manage to finish their mocking as a certain red-haired girl couldn't contain her mouth anymore. "A-ah." She spoke a bit loud catching their attention. "I hear that nobles are highly educated but I guess those are just rumors."
"W-what?" Both of them exclaim in confusion but notice the dark aura surrounding her making them sweat.
"They're all bark but no bite." Her eyes darken as she glances over them making them cover in fear. It also including the others who watch. Some gave her glares for mocking the nobles and some steps away from her but none brave enough to retort.
"Well... That's Kana-nee for you." Rekka sweat drop along with Nash, Sister, and Father as they watch the now darken red hair girl.
"She sure is something." Sister laughs nervously with the priest nods agreeing.
"Welcome, young men and women." A voice echoed through the tower catching everyone's attention. "You all begin a new journey today. I wish you all faith, hope, and love." They watch as a heavily bearded elderly man dressed in wizard robes and hat present himself in front of them. "I am the master of this grimoire tower. We've never had a Wizard King from this area, nor anyone who's actually achieved greatness in Magic Knights. I sincerely hope that one of you will become the Wizard King someday." At those last words, Asta straightens himself in determination while his other childhood friends remain unreadable.
"No, really! Seriously!" Master exclaim loudly making the tower goes silent. "Ahem. Now it's time for the awarding.... Of the grimoires!" As he finishes his speech, grimoires start floating around as they go their rightful owner.
Kana glance around as she watches some of those grimoires are different in size, thickness, and earner reactions. Then her attention falls upon the loud cocky nobles as they make a declaration.
"We'll be taking the Magic Knights' entrance exams in six months." The blond one proudly states.
"We'll be sure to get in." Another add making others cheer for them that was until.
"Um..." Asta starts catching everyone's attention including his church siblings. "My grimoire's not coming." He continues in a still dramatic pose to receive his grimoire.
"Er... Try again next year." Master state since he couldn't answer as he never sees such cases.
"What?!"
At those words, crowds start laughing at Asta and mocking his disbelief.
"What the heck?!"
"That's actually amazing!"
"That's way too funny!"
"Tch." The red hair girl clicks her tongue in annoy as people start laughing over Asta and go to defend him until something bright caught her attention along with others making them speechless.
A grimoire with immense mana radiating over it float in front of Yuno as it chose its owner making everyone gape especially upon noticing that it has four-leaf clover.
"A four-leaf? You mean the legendary..."
"H-hey.."
"The first Wizard King's grimoire.." Kana breathed out in awe.
"Him?"
"That peasant?"
Yuno collects his grimoire and spun facing the other. "I'm going to become the Wizard King." He openly declares.
Everyone starts cheering over him seeing that he had proven himself worthy by even receiving former Wizard King's grimoire.
"Awesome!"
"He's the shining star of Hage!" Father proudly claims.
"You're amazing Yuno-nii chan!"
"He's so cool." Rekka in awe.
Asta starts getting up. "Yuno.. Just you wait. I'll catch up to you in time." He then spun to the dark-haired boy. "Because I'm your rival!" He points at himself.
Everyone than start laughing at him again knowing that the no grimoire or rather no magic-user tried to challenge someone with first Wizard King's grimoire would be impossible.
"Did he just say "rival"?"
"He didn't even get a grimoire. What is he thinking?"
Yuno was surprised at his declaration since even with the proved that Asta won't be having magic ability he still doesn't give up and keep his determination. He then regains himself and walks pass the ash-blond hair boy. "Not possible."
Kana just keep watching in silence as she watches Asta was left cold-shoulder.
"Kana-chan." Yuno call over her.
"Hm?" She glances over him as he stops by her side.
The dark hair boy then points over something on her other side. "You left it hanging."
"Eh?" The red hair girl exclaims in confuse then she turns to her other side and saw a grimoire madly move around as it has been trying to catch her attention for quite some time. "Sorry about that." She apologizes and opens up her palms making the grimoire fall upon them. Her grimoire is garnet-colored cover with black three-leaf clover insignia in the middle of the front cover but it was covered by a golden keyhole. Surrounding it was black intricate ornaments. As it lands over her hands, a burst of power surrounds her making her eyes go wide as those actions catch other's attention.
(Kind of like this but this image originally doesn't belong to me, I only edit some part of it)
"What just happen?" She breathed out in shock as the aura absorbs in her.
"Who knows?" Yuno answer also surprises by the suddenness.
"Another peasant." People start murmuring in shock and some watch in awe.
"How can people like them earn those grimoires?"
"I've never seemed that girl's grimoire before." A female voice points out.
Kana sigh not liking being the attention and walk away with her now grimoire toward the children who start running toward her.
"Kana-nee chan and Yuno-nii chan was so cool!" Aruru cheer, jumping in excitement.
"Cool!" Haroro states while gripping the red hair girl's leg as she wears dark blue shorts making her laugh at his cuteness.
Kana lower herself so that she could meet eye to eye with the kids. "Really?" She playfully asks.
Both youngest children furiously nod. "Really!"
"Thank you." She thanks them while pulling them into a hug making them giggle.
"Congratulation, Yuno-nii! Kana-nee!" Rekka congrats them.
"That was so cool!" Nash adds.
"Thank you, Rekka-chan, Nash." Kana pat both their head making them laugh as she smiles at them lovingly.
"All right, kids! We're heading home to prepare for the feast!" Father declares as he starts walking away with the children trailing behind him. "You can each have three tatoes today!" He adds.
"Yay!" Aruru cheer.
"I sure would like to eat something else once in a while." Rekka sigh.
"Tatoes!" Haroro cutely cheers as he glances at the red hair girl.
The girl nods encouragingly. "Tatoes!" Making both of them laugh.
"Do you wanna go train together, Kana-chan," Yuno asks the red hair girl who now holding the youngest blond hair boy.
Kana shake her head. "Sorry, Yuno. But I've to get home early to help to prepare the feast."
The dark-haired boy was a bit disappointed since he wants to spend more time with her but didn't show it as he flashes her a smile. "You can come after you finish then."
"Sure."
With that Yuno walks away leaving only both oldest females from the church with the youngest.
Kana glances over sister who looks in worry. "What wrong, Sister?"
"Eh? I- um..." The water magic user stutter.
The red hair girl's expression softens. "Is it Asta?"
Sister Lily nods with a frown. "Would he be okay? That must be a shock for him."
"You're worrying too much Sister."
"Eh?"
Kana proudly smile. "That Asta after all. He would be just fine."
"How can you be so sure of it?" The older girl tilts her head.
"Don't you remember? Asta's magic is he never gave up."
Sister was surprised at first then she smiles softly. "You're right. I'm just thinking too much."
