It has been around 10 years since that fight in the forest and it is now the day where I will recieve my grimoire. Since that fight, I have improved my combat sense by leaps and bounds and I decided to train my body harder as I would have been out for the count after being hit by the boar if I had never trained my body at all.

Asta, Yuno, and I are on our way to the grimoire tower to get our grimoires and to say I am excited is the understatement of the century. After today, the story will begin as will my own story. We all walk inside the tower and there are already many people waiting inside for the tower master to appear and let us recieve our grimoires.

"Whoa are all these shelves filled with grimoires?!?! There's soo many, I wonder where mine is!!" Asta shouted although quieter than normal.

I looked at Asta who stopped talking and looked at me with a sheepish grin.

"Sigh...." I sighed to myself at Asta's shouting again.

'I guess I can't do anything about his personality, but at least I made him a little more conscientious about screaming in public.'

'When I get my grimoire, I'm going to be able to use magic too, I'll catch up to you soon enough Yuno and Ranto' -Asta

Off to the side I could hear some shoddy nobles making fun of Asta, Yuno, and I. I couldn't care less what they think, besides we'll show em up soon enough.

Just as I was listening to the stupid nobles I heard the voice of the Grimoire Tower Master.

"Welcome to Grimoire Tower, Acceptees! On this momentous day, you will take your first step down a new path. I wish you integrity hope and love. For those who don't know, I am the master of this Grimoire Tower. Now, never once has anyone from this region ever distinguished him or herself, by becoming a Magic Knight much less the Wizard King. I pray that one of you have what it takes to become the most powerful mage in the land. Now, without further ado, it is time to accept your grimoires."

Just after his last words, grimoires started glowing and flying off the shelves and stopping in front of different individuals. In the hub bub of everything, there was a pause as Asta was still standing there with his arms out like an idiot.

"Uhhh is my grimoire running late or something?" Asta asked still in shock.

Everyone started laughing at him and eventually the Tower Master looked at him and said "Try again next year?"

"Huh?!?!?!" Asta said even more shocked.

Just as more people were going to make comments, one grimoire which had a clear golden four leaf clover on it, started to glow brilliantly in a golden light in front of Yuno, who took it gracefully without any reaction before closing the grimoire and saying calmly.

"I am going to become the Wizard King."

Everyone else on the other hand, started freaking out about how the four leaf grimoire was the same type of grimoire that the first Wizard King had.

Just when there shock was over, they recieved an even greater shock. In front of Ranto, his grimoire started to glow in a blinding silver light and everyone could see the four leaf clover on it as well, but what was interesting is the four leaf clover was on top of a Lemniscate symbol also known as an infinity symbol.

"OH MY GOD,TWO FOUR LEAF CLOVERS!!" -Random Commoner 1A

"There's two four leaf clover and they are both in the hands of those filthy commoners." -Random Noble 1A

"How is it, that the four leaf grimoires chose someone like them?!?!" -Random Noble 1B

"That's amazing two four leaf grimoires, but what's with that symbol on the grey one?" -Random Commoner 1B

Just then Asta came out of his shock and stood up.

"Just you wait Yuno, I'm hot on your heels, I am your rival!!"

The crowd began to laugh at him and honestly I had had enough. I started to glow in a silver magical aura and a pressure started to build up and spread out from me causing all of the crowd to freeze up.

"Urgh, what is this pressure, I can't move my body." Random Commoner 1C

"How can he have such a powerful magical aura??" Random Noble 1C

"Shut up. What gives you the right to judge him. I have never met anyone with more willpower and determination in my entire life and I won't stand for you to talk down to him. You got it."

The pressure along with the silver aura dissipated and the crowd was quiet as they started to slowly leave the tower.

'That aura, I haven't felt anything like that since I met one of the Magic Knight Captains when they were younger years ago. He is sure to be one powerful mage.' -Grimoire Tower Tower Master
