Today was the Magic Knight Entrance Exam that was taking place in the Royal Capital. The Magic Knight Entrance Exam is an event that takes for people who would attend for a chance to be accepted into the ranks of a squad of the Magic Knights, The Golden Dawn, The Silver Eagle, The Blue Rose, The Crimson Lion, The Green Mantis, The Coral Peacock, The Purple Orca, The Azure Deer, and The Black Bulls. People have come from over the Clover Kingdom to come and take the exam, hoping to change their lives, one of those was a young man of short stature but despite that had an exceptionally muscular build. He had green eyes and messy, ash blond hair that had a single strand protruding upwards from the center of his head. He keeps his hair together with a black headband, which had a red-colored four-sided star with three stitches on at the front, his name was Asta and being a commoner and an orphan he did not have a surname. Another one of them was a young man of average height with a lean build, amber eyes, and messy black hair, who's name was Yuno, but he and Asta had grown up side by side together since they were abandoned in front of a church as babies. The Church was in the same village called Hage. It was a small village in the outskirts of the Clover Kingdom. It is mostly made of undeveloped auras with several houses randomly located within a wide grassy plain. One of the notable landmarks within Hage is the huge skeleton of a demon, which is located slightly outside of the village. A statue of the first Magic Emperor, who defeated the demon, was placed on top of the demon's skull. When the two of them had made it to the Arena where the Magic Knight Entrance Exam was being held, they had seen spectators cheering and watching young men and women enter it. "You are the Clover Kingdom's hope! The future of the kingdom is in your hands!"
"Stay focused!"
"I'll do my best!" Asta was waving and shouting as he walked to the entrance.
"You don't know him... you don't know him..." Yuno was muttering to himself in front of Asta. When they entered the arena, several lines were formed so that they could get their exam numbers. A Magic Knight was sitting in the booth ahead, they touched the Grimoire of examiner, which had then began to glow, and once it had stopped.
"You're #163. All right, next." It was then Yuno's turn.
"I'm Yuno from Hage Village." He had informed the man.
"Yuno from Hage..." he had written it down, "Could I see your grimoire?" He had then asked, which Yuno brought out and placed it in front of him. "A f-four leaf clover..." the man was shocked as he looked at Yuno's grimoire, which had a four-leaf clover on it. His grimoire has a gold-colored cover, the gold-colored four-leaf clover insignia at the center of the front cover and intricate ornaments around the borders.
"So that's who everyone's talking about." Some other knights were talking behind them, giving Yuno's examinee number.
"Hey, That grimoire..."
"Is it really a four-leaf Clover!?"
"Wow..." Even some of the other examinees were flipping out hearing it.
"You're#164. All right, next." Asta had then run to the counter.
"I'm Asta, also from Hage Village!" He had stated, "Here, my grimoire!" and pulled out his grimoire before the man could ask for it. Unlike Yuno, Asta had a five-leaf clover grimoire. The grimoire was tattered and filthy, a black five-leaf clover insignia at the center of its front cover. This clover symbol is largely unseen due to the dirt covering it, making most (including Asta) assume that the grimoire possesses unusual magic but is otherwise ordinary.
"This is pretty filthy." The man started looking at it closely, asking if it really was a grimoire.
"Huh? Of course it is! Take a good look! See? See?" Asta was slightly worried.
"All right, all right..." the man had touched the grimoire, "You're #165."
"Got it! All right!" Asta was yelling as he ran away, not aware that someone was watching him.
"Bah-ha! He must be a real go-getter if he came here all the way from the boonies." a teenager with a lean build and medium-length blond hair had mocked him. His hair was combed backward and held together by a black hairband, leaving only several strands left hanging in front of his forehead. Inside, the exam was getting closer as the examinees had gathered in the center.
"Man, I'm getting really nervous." One of them was sighing as he stood.
"Hey, ow! What the heck are these birds!?" Another beside him was flipping out as a bird tried to land on him, but had then peaked.
"The infamous anti-birds of the exam venue." another examinee had explained to him, as one was still on his head,
"Really? These things?" But he didn't seem all that convinced as he looked at one of the three small black, white, and red feathered birds gathered around him.
"The weaker your magical powers, the more these guys flock to you." He had informed him.
"Little pests... hey, look at that guy." He had spotted Yuno, who was standing all by himself, " one of the birds is going to him." Others around him had also begun to notice it too.
"Hey! It's the guy from earlier." A guy had called out.
"From earlier?"
"He's from some remote village called Hage, yet he's got a four-lead grimoire!" Another had said, making it sound like it's impossible.
"Wha... a four-leaf? Seriously?"
"One of us is going to become the Wizard King. Our legend's beginning now, Yuno!" Asta was yelling, causing everyone to turn to him, all shocked the moment he said that. Because... he was completely surrounded but anti-birds. "I'm gonna show you just how much I've grown in six months..." He was whining in pain as one of them pulled his cheeks. "What the heck are these birds!?" He was now trying to run away, causing everyone to laugh. They were mocking him, calling him a loser and such. "Get way from me, you stupid birds!" Asta had shouted before he had run into someone, but the instant the birds sensed the magic power coming from him they flew off scared out of their minds. "They finally flew off somewhere, Hey, sorry for bumping into you." He had turned around smiling.
"I'll kill you, brat." Only to be threatened by a tall, middle aged looking man with a very muscular build. He had black eyes and black hair of medium length that is messily combed backward, making it stick outwards. He also had a stubble mustache and beard growing. When Asta looked at him, he began to sweat buckets, thinking that the man's eyes were that of a killer. Looking at him, he wondered if the man was the same age as him, but coming down to earth he realized that he should judge a book by its cover.
"Man, you look old! You must've had a hard life!" Asta had babbled out. Everything went silent and not a second later, the man had grabbed him by the head.
"It appears you're ready to die." The man was really pissed off.
"Oh, there He is! What are you doing down here?" A slender young man of average height and build had called out to the man . He had a pair of droopy eyes, and had dirty blond hair. But he wasn't alone either, another young man, this time was slender with pale white skin and short black hair that was slicked back with a black hat over it. His face was long with a large nose and lacked eyebrows. He wore black eyeshadow in large circles around his red eyes, and also wore black lipstick and nail polish.
"I'm about to end this little twerp's life." The man had informed him, as he was squeezing even harder in Asta's head.
"H-hey... isn't that..."
"Is that the great Finral Roulacase?" A girl asked as she was blushing and looking at the young man with dirty blond hair. "A user of rare spatial magic?"
"Hey, you're cute." The dirty blond hair man, Finral, had gone up to her winking.
"He's famous for being so girl-crazy that it gets in the way of his duties!"
"And that's... Gordon Agrippa! That expert on incantation magic! I head that he's impossible to talk to... and also scary." The examinees were whispering to one another as they realized who all those men, wearing black coats were. As that was happening, the grip on Asta's head only got tighter.
"What are you guys doing?" A female voice spoke up.
