The Twin Clovers

Page 2: The Magic Knights Entrance Exam

            

Hello, and welcome back to my other story, Twin Clovers. I'm surprised that this one caught attention, I guess I'm a better writer than I thought. Anyway let's continue. I plan on making this an Asta/Harem fic as well. For Maya's magic, just wait. Just so you know, this is more of a side project. My main focus will be Anti-Magic Swordsman. Now, onto the story.

Six months have passed since Asta and Yuno received their grimoires, and they are now walking through the castle town of Kikka, towards an arena in the center of town, where the exam will be held.

"Wow! Awesome! Check out all these swords and stuff!" Asta said, looking in the window of a shop, but then notices the price. "How mu...!" Asta blanches, Unable to understand how expensive the stuff is. "This place is a far-cry from the village, huh?" Yuno asked. Asta then noticed something up ahead. "So up there's where the Wizard King lives?" Asta said, staring up at the capital. "Probably the country's king as well." Yuno added. "Soon that castle will be mine!" Asta said determined. "You mean my castle." Yuno corrected. "Nah, but I'll let you live with me." Asta retorted. "If you're lucky, I'll let you live with me." Yuno smirked at him.

The two then here crying and look to see a family heading home from shopping. "Reminds me of everyone back home. Bet it's so boring without us there." Asta reminisces. "We can agree on that" Yuno cracks, only for a voice to follow. "Asta! Yuno!" The voice shouts, causing the brothers to look towards where it came from, and see Maya walking towards them.

Maya was wearing a more casual outfit, the maroon skirt going to above her knees, and having a white shirt sleeve shirt, and wearing black knee high boots. Another thing the two noticed was the sword strapped to her hip. "Maya! How've you been?" Asta asked as she caught up with them. "Great!" She said cheerily. Now that she's right next to them, Asta notices that she put on a little muscle. Not too much to be obvious, but enough to be noticeable. "Have you been working out?" He asked. "Maybe." Maya replied with a wink. "The exam should be just ahead." Yuno said walking past them. "Hey wait up!" Asta called after him, with Maya right behind him.

The trio are then seen in a line waiting to be assigned numbers for the exam.

"Next." the mage said, causing Yuno to walk towards him. "Name's Yuno, from Hage." The boy answers. The mage asks for his grimoire and Yuno shows it. The man is surprised to see that it's the four-leaf clover. "You're number 164." The mage said. "Next." He called.

Asta then walks forward to register himself. "Asta from Hage." He said, and presents his grimoire. "You sure that's a grimoire?" The mage said, noticing its tattered appearance. "Of course it is! Look at the cover!" Asta said, shoving it in the man's face. After that, the man moves the grimoire out of his face. "All right! You're number 165." He said, trying to get him out of his face. "Thanks!" Asta yelled, and moved out of the way, and waited for Maya.

"Name?" The attendant asks. "Maya Jasmine Clover. I'm from the capital." She answered, shocking him and the others around who heard. "What's with all the hoopla?" Asta asked. "You don't know?! She's the princess of the kingdom!" Another person answered Asta, causing him to gawk in disbelief. "She's the what?!" He shouts, having not known that about his friend.

The man at the counter then asks for her grimoire and is once again shocked as he sees the white leaf on the cover. "You're number 166." She tells her. "Thank you." She said cheerily, and walks into the arena. "Why didn't you tell me you're the princess?!" Asta asked her as she walked towards him. "You never asked." Maya answered cheekily, and then dashes ahead of him.

Inside everyone gathers, waiting for the exam to begin, birds began to swarm some of the people there. "I'm getting nervous." One examinee said, exhaling outward. "What's with these birds?!" Another examinee asked, said birds pecking at him.
