The White Clover (Black Clover x reader)

Three Problems

[Y/n] looked out at her destroyed kingdom as she walked with Asta, Mimosa, Noelle and Secré to see the Wizard King. This battle had so much collateral damage that it will a while to fix. People have lost trust in the Magic Knights due to many of them being control by corrupted elves.

What is her father, the King, doing to rectify this? How will he bring this kingdom back together?

Who was she kidding? He wasn't going to do anything.

What could she do to bring the kingdom together?

There were so many thoughts running through her brain.

"All of you worked very hard. The battle has ended, and now we can live happily ever after. Or so I'd like to say, but currently, we have three problems." The child dressed in a lavish red robe with metals and pin on them.

The mages were so distracted by his size that they had a hard time paying attention to what he was saying. 'I've sensed this mana before... and he kind of reminds me of Julius...' [Y/n] thought to herself, 'Does Julius have a son? Or a child even?'

Asta's eyes widened, "Captain Yami! This ki... Don't tell me he's..."

"The first problem." The child listed with one finger up, "The Wizard King is gone."

"He's standing right here." Yami corrected with a cigarette in his mouth, "That's you remember."

The young Magic Knights looked in shock. "What?!"

"Most of my magic is now gone." Julius said and showed a single piece of paper, "This is what's left of my grimoire, which means I won't be able to fight, and my influence on the hard-line monarchist nobles who prioritize the wealth and power of this kingdom has weakened."

"Ooh, me! Me, me, me!" Asta shouted while raising his hand, "How did you get so small, and why are you alive, Wizard King?!"

Julius smiled, "Well, you see, during my incognito wanderings, I found magic storage technology left behind by some ancient mages. According to some documents I found in the castle's library, it's called Swallowtail."

Secré's eyes widened a bit.

"My time magic and Swallowtail were very compatible. I stored my time and magic into the emblem on my forehead little by little." Julius continued, "Time that would let me start over in case something happened to me. But I didn't get to start over immediately, and I only made it as far as this age. Guess things don't always go as planned." He laughed.

"Uh, this is plenty. You don't usually get do-overs in life. You're insane, you old man who looks like a kid." Yami said.

Asta cried tears of joy, "I'm just so glad that you're alive, Wizard King!" He said.

"So am I. I was extremely worried about you, Julius!" [Y/n] said.

"Thank you. I see you're as lively as ever, Asta." Julius said and looked at [Y/n]. Julius reached up, but he wasn't quite tall enough to give [Y/n] pats on the head anymore. "I'm sorry to have worried you, Princess." He put his hand down, "I heard you both did a great job yet again."

"I did my best! But I've still got a long way to go!" Asta said, and [Y/n] had the same determined look. "So, do I. I have to refine my magic and make it even stronger." She said and clutched her fists while Emica, her spirit, gave a worried look.

'I have to get stronger and help rebuild and protect this kingdom.' [Y/n] thought.

"As for Noelle and Mimosa, I can imagine how much you must have risked your own lives in this endeavor just by how your mana has grown." Julius said.
