The White Clover (Black Clover x reader)

The Devil Megicula

Suddenly, domes of water surrounded [Y/n], Albern and Asta. Noelle, Mimosa and Finral's eyes all widened in horror as the domes of water shot in the air.

They were taken away to a hole in the middle of the kingdom. The domes went into a free fall down into the cavern, and [Y/n] landed hard on her butt while Albern stumbled a bit, landing on his feet.

[Y/n] looked around. They lost Asta. Albern glared, seeing a woman laying on the floor on top of what looked like a stuffed animal. "What's the meaning of this? Does the queen want to start a war?" Albern growled, pulling out his grimoire.

"Albern, wait!" [Y/n] quickly stood up and stepped in between him and the girl, "It's a test."

"A test?" Albern questioned.

[Y/n] nodded, "It was explained to me in her letter. In order to work together, they need to assess what they call our 'Magic Stage'. They don't plan on hurting us."

Albern look a breath and calmed down. "Since you are only here to accompany me, they don't need your Magic Stage. She already knows about my curse and my magic so..." [Y/n] continued to explain, straightening her tiara. She opened her mouth to say something else but decided not to. Albern knew there was something wrong.

"Princess-"

"I'm going to introduce myself." [Y/n] said quickly and walked closer to the woman, who still seemed to not notice the two. "Um..." The princess sat down on her knees in front the woman. 'Is...this really the queen?' [Y/n] thought with a weary smile. "Excuse me..." [Y/n] placed her hand on the huge Beaver. It was really soft.

[Y/n]'s lips cursed up to a blissful smile. "This feels nice."

"Your highness." Albern said, snapping [Y/n] out her distraction.

Suddenly, something came flying through the curtains of water surrounding them. "Pardon me! I'm coming in!" It was Asta.

[Y/n] looked in bit surprised. "Asta?"

"[Y/n]?! Are you okay?" Asta asked, and [Y/n] nodded. Asta looked over at the woman. "Uh..."

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! This thick-pelted beaver just felt so good on my skin!" The woman said and quickly got up, headbutting Asta in the chin. [Y/n] gasped while Albern tried to subpress a smile.

"What the heck was that fo-" And he was washed away.

"Glassess... My glassess..."

[Y/n] picked up the queen's glasses, "Here you are." She said. "Thank you very much." The queen said, putting them on.

"Goodness... What are you doing, Loropechika? I told to hurry up and change out of your pajamas." Loropechika's spirit, Undine, said, appearing out of nowhere, while [Y/n] took a step back and stared at the spirit in awe.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Loropechika apologized again.

Asta stared in shock while still holding his chin while Nero stood beside him. Loropechika began to explain why they were attacked. "Magic stages?" Nero questioned, "The stage nine, eight, seven thing, where the smaller number is, the stronger you are?"

"Yes. Mages fight not with force of numbers, but with how powerful their magic is." Loropechika explained, "There are cases where dozens may attack, and they would be no match for a single mage. That's why, in wars between magical nations, power is measured by magic stages. In other words, a kingdom's power is determined by how many mages it has that are near stage zero. And if you're dealing with a devil, no one lower than stage one will be able to keep up with it."

"A devil... That's right!" Asta remembered, "We came here because we detected a huge curse signal here that may be the work of a devil! Do you know anything about devil curses?"
