Together We Make A Clover.

Chapter 12: No One Likes My Poop Stories.

We walked in and seen all these young people standing around creating small talk. To be honest, I wasn't someone good with big crowds yet I wasn't afraid of having a conversation with a random stranger.

[I am really nervous right now. I just don't know how to handle the unknown, which is why not knowing anything about my grimoire makes me so anxious. What do I do if the information I find out about my grimoire is astonishing negative and can cause more harm than good? To make matters even weirder, there are tons of birds around here and pecking at people. The birds are bothering them constantly as well. However, Yuno and I have not been touched by any of these creatures. But Asta...was a whole other case entirely.]

Asta: What's with all these stupid birds!

He ran around yelling and making another scene. I was watching him while I tried to create a plan for him to calm down but it grew difficult because of the constant comments people were making about Asta. I got so mad that I blew up at the guy next to me talking so much shit.

Me: *to boy* How about you shut your fucking mouth!

Boy: *offended* Excuse me?

Me: If you have some shit to say, go up to him and say it to his face instead of standing on the side like some coward ass bitch!

Yuno: Vanellope calm down please.

Me: It's hard to Yuno, I can't stand jerks like this!

Boy: *to Yuno* Calm your chick down man before I do it for you.

Yuno: *pissed* Don't lay a fucking hand on her!

The boy was about to use his grimoire to fight Yuno and I when they boy's friend pulled him by the shoulder and said,

Boy #2: Haven't you noticed? There are no birds around them, touching them or paying any attention to them. They must be powerful, so lay off.

I blinked cluelessly as there is an actual reason why these birds don't mess with us like they are with Asta. As they walked off, Yuno got closer to me and said,

Yuno: You have to be careful with these people Vanellope. They are going to try to take you down physically and mentally. And sometimes I might not be there to protect you. Yes, you can hold your own but I just want to get the news that you seriously hurt someone or that you got hurt in the process.

Me: *sighs* You're right Yuno but I just can't help it if someone is talking badly about you or Asta. I just get very protective of you two.

Yuno: *smiles* I understand completely. You're my family and I can't bare hearing people say negative things about you but sometimes we have to bite our tongue because those kinds of people aren't worth our time.

Me: K...k...

Yuno: Just be careful and not focus on them. We can't risk being disqualified and not getting a chance in getting into a magic knights squad.

I nodded in agreement. As we collected ourselves and things began to get a little quiet, I heard people talking through the air and found out that these birds go to people that have "less magic". The more birds you have on you, the less magic you have, thus, if you have no birds bothering you, chances are that you have tons of magic within you.

[So does that mean Asta has a little bit of magic? Or is my theory about Asta's grimoire true? But he must have some magic to be able to have a grimoire and have a sword that can cancel magic, so that technically is magic right? Ah! my head hurts! I must think this more throughly.]

People's voices grew louder throughout the air as more people noticed that Yuno and I had no birds at all around us. This can cause us to either be targets or threats to these examinees: they may want to challenge us to show they are stronger or they want to avoid us at all costs. There is no in between.
