𝖲𝖤𝖫𝖤𝖭𝖮𝖯𝖧𝖨𝖫𝖤, william vangeance

8

the next morning, you were summoned by the wizard king without further informations why. though you didn't bother asking anymore.

you and william arrived at the head quarters to be met by marx standing outside, "captain vangeance?"

"good morning marx." vangeance nodded his head with a smile and marx mirrors the gesture.

"oh! hello miss Y/N." marx added, "to you too." you replied before following your captain inside.

william knocked two times before getting a faint "come in" from the other side as he open the door for the both of you. you stood infront of the wizard king's desk beside your captain, waiting for anyone to speak up.

"why did you want to meet me sir?" your head slightly titling to the side.

"so.. Y/N diana, you use celestial magic if i'm correct?" julius started, wearing his famous grin. "that is right" you replied.

"such unique magic isn't it?!! may i see your grimoire??!" the wizard king had stars in his eyes, you fought a chuckle not to escape your lips when the man infront of you had such duality.

you picked up your grimoire and handed it over, julius was just about to check it out but stopped his movements when the book he's holding started to shake, the pages flipped violently for three seconds and stops to an empty page, then the page glowed, and the floating spirit flew out, the grimoire calming down as if nothing had happened.

julius' eyes were going to pop out of his sockets when he saw the spirit casually sit on your shoulder as she yawned.

you could hear william chuckle next to you, "err.."

"what is she..?" julius points at the tiny girl in your shoulder, "sir julius, this is helix, the spirit of nebula." you introduced.

there was a deafening silence after that, as the atmosphere turns cold, you gulped. did you saw something wrong?

william cleared his throat to somehow take the wizard king's attention and back to reality. "lord julius, you can daydream about the spirit later after our discussion. come back to life now." vangeance sounded like he's done with everything.

the man snapped back into his senses, glancing towards the spirit once more before sighing. "i would fanboy so hard right now but it doesn't fit the atmosphere. all right."

you blinked, that was.. unusually weird.

julius looked at you grimoire and flipped it, both sides doesn't have any clover, just like william said.

the wizard king looked at the captain,"Y/N is this really your grimoire?" you nodded in confusion. "how are you sure?" you tilt your head, "because i use it on battle?" you said but sounded like a question.

helix flew over by your ears and whispered. you gasp and rubbed your thumbs together, vangeance stared at you and you chuckled a bit embarrassed. "apologies, were you looking for the clover sign?" the two nodded in sync.

"may i?" you asked for your grimoire back as the wizard king held it back to you. you held it with both hands and closed your eyes, purple smokes from nowhere surrounded the book as it floated up a little from your hands, a blinding light covered the grimoire before it drops back on your hands with a whole new cover.

on william's point of view, he had found the smokes as one of your spells, though how does one cast a spell without a grimoire?

maybe it's just your basic attack magic, but as far as your captain knew you use wind magic for basic attacks. he's confused, very.

"a six leaf clover?" the wizard king says upon witnessing your grimoire's real cover.

silence filled the room, you could only watch the two's reaction as they eye the unfamiliar design of your grimoire.

you decided not to speak and wait for them to snap from it, not daring to move a single muscle and just stand there frozen like the two, afraid to say the wrong words and get them to doubt your loyalty, afterall, presenting a full six leaved clover to the wizard king himself and the next promising magic emperor is not something you do everyday, and not something probably the people of this kingdom witness time to time.

a cough from william made your breath hitch, you gulped, this tension isn't really helping.

julius spoke, finally breaking the invisible ice around the air, "i'm.. amazed." he murmured.

"i have never seen such- such a thing is possible to posses..?" william's eyes was still glued to the book you placed on the table.

"i did not expect this.. at all." julius replied and you just listened to them mumble their amazement.

the wizard king snaps his head to your direction and clears his throat, "so y/n.. i'm going to need.. a little more information of how this is possible." you sighed, and tried your best to tell what you know in the most professional way you can. you stood with chin up and putting your hands on you back, standing as if you were about to speak of something so important that could end the whole universe.

"i honestly don't know." professionalism.

the floating girl next to you snorted before coughing from realization of what had she just did, flying down and entering inside of your shirt to hide her embarrassment.

the wizard king blinked and william smiled, as if trying his best not to burst out laughing.

"okay.. uh?" julius blinked two times but stops when he heard you continue your words.

"well, i was fifteen when i first got the hold of this grimoire. from my memories, i remember that i was running on a grass field, there was a thunderstorm happening and then suddenly i'm.. laying on the middle of the field. i.. don't remember why exactly was i there, why was i running around while lightings are literally being thrown at me aaand~ why was i laying helplessly on the ground, although i know that i can and my body could still move." you took a breathe in and looks down on your feet.

"after that.. the memory was blurry and i couldn't grasp on what exactly happened next. that is all i could remember, i just know that the grimoire was mine and helix came from there, she declares that she is my companion to.. back home, she is here to help me since i don't exactly remember my past or where i came from."

you finally looked up to meet two purple eyes staring intently at your figure, waiting if you were to continue your words.

"well.. i'm sorry to hear that." the wizard king says, shrugging his shoulders and grabbing your grimoire for him to hold and examine.

"i guess we could do some research to see if-" his words were cut off from marx suddenly popping on his side, the three of you almost having a heart attack.

"ah! marx- oh my.." julius held on the side of his table for dear life as you placed your hand on your chest, feeling it's fast pace.

"forgive me my lord, but an attack at dian is currently taking place and the knight that reported had claimed that it has been going on for a while now. if we don't send back up we might lose a big part of the forsaken land." the mushroom head informs his matters and you tensed up at the said place.

'my.. homeland?'
