Chapter One

It was 6 A.M. in the village. The rooster on the neighbors farm began crowing as the sun rose over the hills. Time to get up and begin training.

Rolling out of bed, I got up and walked to my closet to get dressed. After getting ready and going downstairs, I entered the kitchen.

I grabbed my water bottle and an apple. Pulling the notepad off of the counter, I scribbled a note to my mother letting her now I would be training in my usual spot.

After I set that down and grabbed my stuff, I went to the front door and began to make my way to my usual spot.

Walking through the village this early in the morning is always so peaceful. Most people are still inside and the streets are quiet. The neighborhood shop owners begin to open up their stores.

After walking for 15 minutes I reach the edge of the village and start to do my stretches, making sure I stretch my legs good because I'm doing an extra long run today.

Once I am done stretching, I eat my apple and drink some water. After I finish, I toss the core into the grass for the animals to get.

I double check my shoes and begin running. Today I'm following the road that connects my village to Hage village, the next village over. Its a 10 mile run both ways, so today I'm running 20 miles.

"Ive been running for about an hour and a half now", I think to myself, but I soon reach the outskirts of Hage village. Once I reach the town square, I start my cool down routine, slowing my breathing and heart rate back to a normal speed.

I walk a lap around the neighborhood, getting my breath and heart rate back to normal. Just as I turn onto the next street, I bump into somebody, knocking my bottle out of my hand.

"Hey, watch where you're going nex-" the person stops. He makes eye contact with me and just stands there.

"Um, you okay?" I ask as the boy continues to stand and stare.

"Uh, yeah. Sorry. Hi, I'm Asta." He extends his hand in my direction. I take it and shake.

"Hi Asta, I'm Kioni." I pull my hand back and he smiles.

"Hi Kioni, cool name. So what are you doing?"

"Thanks dude. And I'm just training for the Magic Knights Entrance Exam. Sorry for bumping into you though." I look down as I finish my sentence, hoping he won't give me crap about bumping into him.

Suddenly he jumps up and gets excited, " Woah that's so cool! I'm training too! Do you have a grimoire? I haven't gotten mine yet."

He seems to be really hyped up about the exam.

"You haven't gotten yours yet? Huh. Interesting. Isn't the grimoire acceptance ceremony coming up soon? Are you 15?" I ask, confused as to why he's training to be a magic knight if he doesn't even have a grimoire.

"Yeah I'm 15 and the ceremony is coming up soon. I'm training everyday though so I will be ready for the Magic Knights Entrance Exam. My buddy Yuno and I are rivals, we both want to become the next Wizard King." He says, eyes still wide with excitement.

"Woah, the next wizard king? Seems like a big task. Well, good luck with that man. You've got a lot of work to do to get there." I respond. That's a huge goal to have. I mean he has to be able to make it into a magic knight squad, become a squad captain, then beat out the other captains to become the wizard king.

"So you're competing in the magic knights exam? Well I'll see you there. Maybe cheer you on, maybe fight with you. And hey, who knows, we may end up on the same squad if we both get accepted!" He exclaims.

"Ha! Yeah that would be cool! Well I should probably get going. Gotta go workout a little bit then head back to my village. See ya around Asta." I wave as I turn around.

"Bye Kioni! See ya at the entrance exam!" He waves as I start walking away.

Man that kid was something.

Time to head back home.

I make my way to the road back home and start running. Judging by the suns position, it's around 12 which means I should make it home with plenty of time before dinner.
