The Origin of Magic (Male Reader x Black Clover)

Chapter 15: The Royal Knights

Y/n waited for the next round for the start, hearing some of the whispers of the examinees that didn't make it to the next round. Whispers from them, and the allies of his friends could be heard by Y/n and his squadmates that were currently present.

"What did that Black Bull do to Nebra Silva," one of them asked.

"I would've thought that she would be too much for him to handle," another responded.

"I wouldn't be so sure, that's Y/n, he's been all over the Clover Kingdom helping all sorts of people and nobles, bringing him up the ranks quickly and defeating one of the Eye of the Midnight Sun's most powerful wizards," another argued quietly.

"Yeah, I don't think there is a wizard in the world, aside from the Wizard King, that can defeat him," another Magic Knight whispered.

"Amazing to think that your Squadmate is that powerful," En spoke to Magna and Luck.

"Yeah, he and I have fought to the death so many times, yet spared me," Luck says with a cheery smile, "I can only wait for the day he actually kills me."

"Which will not happen unless another mage does so first," Y/n called out to Luck, "And if you are gravely wounded, I can fix that so we may duel again."

Luck only laughed, "You are funny Y/n, come on, let's fight in the last round!"

"Only if Asta doesn't make it there first," Y/n accepts, "But if we meet before then, I suppose we can settle there."

Luck laughed as Magna pumped up his fist, "Well I'm fighting Asta next, so I suppose I'll have to crush him."

"Huh? Just you wait Magna, I'm gonna be the one to win," Asta yells at Magna.

Y/n only shakes his head with a smile, watching the two argue. Soon enough Marx used his magic to reveal the next round of matchups, letting everyone get ready against whoever they would be fighting against.

The first match was Team A vs Team C, letting both Asta and Magna know that neither of them can hold back anymore. The second match was going to be Team E vs Team G, with Finral being nervous about going up against his brother, Langris. The third was Team I vs Team K, Captain Rill's team against Luck's team. The last match was Team M vs Team P, Y/n's team against Noelle's.

"Well I suppose it was only a matter of time before we would face each other," Y/n looked over to Noelle, "Good luck Noelle, I promise to go easy on you, but not Yuno."

"Bring it on," Yuno replied, "I'll show you just how strong I've really become."

"Ha, I wonder if you can be put in the same league as me then," Y/n smirks at Yuno, "But I guess we'll see when the match starts."

Right before Asta's and Magna's match started, Y/n walked over to Sol who seemed a little too confident in being able to beat Team A in this match. With a tap on her shoulder, she looked over and her demeanor changed as she turned around.

"Sol, i just wanted to let you know to not underestimate Asta's strength, and watch out for the one with the mask," Y/n softly spoke, "He's likely laid traps around the area for you to fall into so he can set them off."

"I didn't need your h-help," Sol held her ground with confidence, "B-but I appreciate the advice."

Y/n nodded, walking back to his teammates, and waiting to see the match start. He would plan around fighting Asta since he knew Asta wouldn't lose this match, or the next one. Y/n knew that he would have to fight Rill and his Painting Magic, and there wasn't much that Y/n could do except for keeping Rill distracted for his team to take out their crystal.
