⨷Chapter One⨷
⨴Grimoires⨵

The cloaked girl thanked the woman as she left the house, she headed to a certain tower that everyone near went to to get their Grimoires. She could hear the whispers and feel the stares of people as she walked in.

She walked over to a wall where there was it was dark, making it harder for anyone to possibly see her. "It's Asta... Who's that boy with him?" The girl thought as she saw Asta and a black haired boy in the middle of the crowd.

The girl smiled slightly while watching the silver haired boy's excitement. She had gained quite a liking to the boy and found his loud spirit, fun.

He fascinated her, she wondered what kind of magic he'd have. He'd surely have some kind of powerful magic, she could tell by the aura that surrounded him.

But for him not to be able to use it at his age was strange, she wondered why. Maybe his body needed to store energy and strength to use his magic? Who knows.

She had gotten his name, she assumed he forgot to ask for hers. That was fine to her, she didn't want to give out her name. People would surely realize who she was.

While she was thinking, an old wizard came onto the podium and just finished his speech. Grimoires were now flying down to their owners.

She hoped hers wouldn't make to much of a scene, her family always got a specific kind of Grimoire. One side was a four leaf clover and the other side had a five leaf clover.

Everyone was looking at their Grimoires and everyone but Asta, the boy with him and the cloaked girl had gotten their Grimoires.

"Uh, is my Grimoire running late or something?" Asta asked and people started laughing. "Tch. I hate these kinds of people, laughing at people they think are weak." The girl thought, irritated.

The boy behind Asta drew attention because of the four leaf clover Grimoire he had just gotten. And as if on cue, the girl's Grimoire came floating down.

"Dammit, I didn't want this much attention." The girl internally cursed as she grabbed her glowing Grimoire. One side was glowing white and the other glowed dark red.

"No way." And, "It can't be"s were a few of the whispers that rang through the crowd of people. The girl activated her barrier and disappeared from all's view.

Everyone was shocked at how the girl just "disappeared" suddenly, the girl rolled her eyes and walked out. She could walked through people and they wouldn't notice.

She walked back to the large Skull and sat there after getting rid of her barrier. "Oh, you're here too." The girl recognized that voice.

"Hello Asta." The girl smiled as she turned to the boy. "I was so sure I could use magic once I got a Grimoire. But I didn't get one." The boy thought out loud as he sat next to the girl.

"Hey, I never got your name." He pointed out, the girl took a deep breath. "I trust him." She thought and stood in front of him.

"I'm Karai Okami." She smiled, but this one held a hint of sadness. "Weren't the Okami's a royal family?" Asta asked and the girl hesitantly nodded.

"My family used to live with the Wizard King but were killed by someone, I swore I'd find my family's killer and become the Wizard King in their honor." The girl explained.

"I'm sorry about your family. I wish I knew mine." Asta said and Karai sat back down. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"I guess I wasn't wanted by them, I was left at the church with Yuno when I was barely a year old." He explained. "Who's this Yuno guy?" Karai asked.

"He's kind of my brother, but he's also my rival! He was the black haired kid with me at the Grimoire Ceremony." Asta explained and Karai nodded.

"Why do you never take off that hood? Doesn't it get hot?" Asta asked and Karai grabbed her hood. "It was my mother's, she died before my family was killed. I've never taken it off in front of anyone." The girl explained.

"But I trust you." The girl smiled and took a deep breath before slowly taking off her hood. Her long blood red hair flowing down behind her, slightly blowing in the wind.

She opened her eyes which showed she was a member of the Okami family. Everyone in that family had beautiful golden eyes that looked as if they glowed.

Her pale skin glowed against the gentle rays of light that shone down, she sighed as the cool air hit her face. Felling refreshed, she hadn't taken that hood off in a while.

She looked back at Asta to see him with a frozen expression, his mouth slightly agape. "I'm sorry! I probably look really weird don't I!" She yelled and began to pull her hood back up.

Asta's hand stopped her. "No, you look really..." He paused, as if searching for the right word. "Really, pretty." He paused before saying the last word.

Karai's face heated up in a way she never understood, she felt as if a butterfly was fluttering around in her stomach and her heart felt as if it would beat out of her chest.

She didn't understand this feeling since it was new to her. "I-I... U-Uh, T-Th—" She could find the words coming out of her mouth, they just stopped before she could get it out.

It was if she was a malfunctioning machine, but human. She panicked and disappeared with her barrier, but Asta's hand held onto her wrist.

His hand seemed invisible as it had stayed inside her barrier. He was startled by this and jumped back, his hand releasing Karai's wrist and pulling out of her barrier.

It closed up and she was out of view. She looked back at Asta regretfully but then put her hood back on and ran out of the Skull shelter.

"Dammit, I scared her off!" Asta internally scolded himself as he got up. Karai decided to go ahead and head to the capital to become a Magic Night so she could get one step closer to her goal.
