The Dragon of the Clover Kingdom (Black Clover x Male Reader)

4th Page: A Crimson Gaze on the Challenges and the Unknowns

Julius Novachrono: The 28th Wizard King, had disguised himself and remained Marx Village, unable to contain his excitement about (Y/N): The Crimson Eyed Sage, joining the Magic Knights. But, when he overheard (Y/N)'s deception, he undid his disguised and confronted the boy himself. (Y/N) then went on to explain to both Julius and Father Karl his distain for both Royalty and Nobility. Self-serving and egotistical, the two could not argue against it, for they knew he was right. However, Julius states that his duty as the 28th Wizard is to remove the boundary between the Common folk and Nobility. His conviction was firm and unwavering, (Y/N) could sense no deception, so he begrudgingly accepts. He leaves for the Grimoire Tower to receive his Grimoire. There, he obtains an oddly clover-less grimoire decorated with odd symbols on each corner. Complete with a winged creature at the center. His thoughts were disrupted when a boy with ash-blonde hair began shouting his desire to become the Wizard King. (Y/N) paid it no mind and left. The Magic Knights Entrance Exam draws near.

Days and weeks went by as (Y/N) trains for the upcoming Magic Knights Entrance Exam. Though he questions what more training is required. From all his past adventuring, battles with bandits and other magic knights, and confrontation with powerful magical beasts. One could say that he is immensely over-qualified for the exam. Father Karl urges him not to be overconfident and underestimate the competition.

(Y/N) is out training in the woods, refining his bojutsu, mana control, and mana sensory. However, his mind turns it attention back to that odd dream he had. Him being present at the calamity that threaten the entire Clover Kingdom. The ancient demon and the first wizard king battling each other, but for some reason he felt something bizarre from their exchange.

Questions plagued his mind, and so he took an early break from training and returned to the church.

"Oh! (Y/N), back so soon"? Father Karl seem surprised.

"Yeah, needed a quick break". (Y/N) said.

"Exhausted, perhaps"? Father Karl inquired.

"Nah, It's just... Too many questions". (Y/N) explained

"Questions"? Father Karl was confused.

(Y/N) took a drink of water, as his mind replayed the dream. His crimson eyes began to glow, the uncertainty was bothering him.

"Hey Father".

"Yes"?

"What do you know about the ancient demon"?

"The ancient demon? Well, not much is known about it. It just suddenly appeared and began wreaking havoc on the country". Father Karl explained.

"It just appeared? A four-armed monster towering over mountains, shows up out of nowhere just like that"? (Y/N) was highly skeptical over the details.

"I can assure you (Y/N), I'm unsure myself. On occasions even I questioned the event that had occurred five hundred years ago. But the details are quite vague. All that remains of the event are the demon skull over at Hage Village and the statue of the first Wizard King that sits on top of it". Father Karl went on.

(Y/N) takes a moment to think. That dream wasn't ordinary, there are messages hidden within it. But deciphering them is no easy feat.

"That said (Y/N), why the sudden interest in Clover Kingdom history"?

"Are you intending to become the Wizard King one day"! Father Karl suspects with odd enthusiasm.

"Huh?! First off, no. Second, what's with the excitement"? (Y/N) dismisses and questions.

"Well my friend from Hage Village mentioned that two of his boys are also partaking in the Magic Knight entrance exam. And that they both seek to become the Wizard King". Father Karl mentioned.
