Yuno and Asta were on their way to the Magic Knights Exam, one of their first steps closer to being Wizard King.

Asta was being Asta. Astonished and curious about the things around him since he's never been to the capital. "Hey Yuno- Yuno?" the ash blonde beams, making the wind mage turn to him, brows furrowed "Do you think I should get these for Sister Lily? Do you think she'll marry me?"

"No," Yuno deadpans.

To be honest, the wind mage was a bit anxious. Not because of the exams, but because of the nobles that scattered around the capital. Some were giving them nasty looks that made Yuno troubled. Let's say some of the folks nearly challenged them to a fight on their way, that Yuno worried for his childhood brother.

He decided to see Asta out when or if he fails to avoid any unwanted events.

No, Asta wouldn't lose.

But Yuno was still worried, his surroundings became a blur to him. What would he do if he encountered a noble and challenged him into a fight? What if he comes late to the exam because of it?

"Yuno? are you- Yuno watch out!" Asta calls out, the taller male turning to him a second too late as he felt an impact to his side, making his grimoire slip off, along with the sound of someone falling to the stone path.

"Geez, if you're going to be so nervous before the exam then I'll be Wizard King in no time!" the shorter male declares, Yuno shook his head as he regained balance "Not a chance."

Yuno was alerted by the girl in front of him who fell on her bum, her grimoire and his being tumbled together to the side. Yuno offered a hand muttering his apologies when her eyes met his.

Yuno knew in one glance that she was a noble, it made his heart race in nervousness. He immediately retracted his hand, which the noble was about to take, and started to apologize.

"I wasn't paying attention, please excuse us," Yuno spoke, swearing that he shouldn't meet her pretty purple eyes. "We're sorry!" Asta joined, bowing towards the dark haired girl who's eyes widened as the two gathered stares from the audience.

Yuno bit his tongue, hoping that the noble wasn't in the mood to punish anyone and would let them go.

"Ah, please, it was my fault as well, I wasn't looking at where I was going-oh where could my grimoire be?" The noble with purple eyes stood up, dusting off the dirt on her clothes, muttering a bit before wandering her eyes off in worry.

This was when Yuno remembered that his own grimoire went missing as well. "Oh no," he thought and started to look for his as well. It was the day for the Magic Knight exam, he can't afford to lose it right here and right now.

Picking up a grimoire with a silver spine and bright red cover, Yuno felt another impact of pain in his forehead. Meeting a pair of purple eyes, he apologized endlessly as he realized that he clumsily bumped his head on the noble.

the girl held her forehead as it stung, and Yuno was doomed to thinking that he was going to be banished from the capital. Until she laughed which made Yuno feel a sense of relief, his eyes wide in surprise "I keep bumping into you I wonder if it's on purpose."

The noble laughed, Yuno could only stare back dumbfounded. "Waaah, A four leaf clover! You must be here for the Magic Knight Exam then!" she smiled, examining the grimoire in her hands (which Yuno recognized to be his) in excitement until she felt the owner's eyes not leaving her, "Oh, uhm I hope you don't mind if I take a look at it."

The noble seemed to be infatuated with grimoires, it was evident in her eyes. "I don't mind at all," the wind mage managed to say, earning a "Thank you," from the girl.

Grimoires.

Hers was a unique color, a mixture of a silver lining and a fire-ish red color. But what took Yuno's interest was the five leaf clover on her book.

The two mages exchanged grimoires to return each other's belongings. Yuno thought of mentioning the grimoire to Asta, but hesitated. The bell then tolled and the noble quickly bowed "It was nice meeting you!" she said.

"Yeah... I guess," and Yuno cursed his poor ability to communicate. "Thank you for finding my grimoire, I wish youー the both of you good luck in the exams!" the noble shifted his gaze towards the tall wind mage and the shorter ash blonde.

"Thanks," Asta gave a grin, pulling a thumbs up. "I'll see you soon then!" said the noble who waved goodbye. Both boys waved back until the noble was out of sight.

"She was nice," Asta comments, but Yuno seemed to ignore this making the other react in disbelief.

"Let's go, Asta," Yuno said, his nerves being as calm as ever "We'll be late for the exam".

"Do you think she'll be there too?" Asta asks making Yuno ran more thoughts into his mind "She did say 'see you'."

Yuno didn't know. Of course, he didn't. "It doesn't matter," he deadpans, proceeding to walk ahead with a calm look.

"I know that look," Asta whispered to himself, "'It doesn't matter my foot', his eyes are totally looking forward to meeting her there."

Yuno heard and threathened to blow him away from the face of the earth, making Asta draw his sword in defense.

And the two entered the Magic Knights Exam.
