"Oh G.o.d this is tiring."

*More heavy breathing"

"AAAAAAA TEN MORE!"

"{Wind Magic: Crescent Kamaitachi}! {Creation Magic: G.o.d's Blade}!"

*CRUNCH* *BANG* *WOOSH*

"Oh G.o.d... Astaaaaaa.... I know why you don't have magiiiiiccccc" I silently cried to myself, "Using anti-magic and regular magic depletes you mana so quicklyyyyyy..."

and after saying this, I was silent for a bit of time before yelling, "I NEED A NAP" and falling to the ground unconscious

When I woke up again I was still on the ground outside with broken pieces of rocks and cut trees everywhere. Getting up the ground and walking over to a tree that wasn't destroyed I sat down. Looking up at the sky why sitting down I thought about my current progress.

'Practicing using other people's magic increases my max mana so quickly... Or using the Anti-Magic sword is putting such a huge demand on my mana that my body is naturally getting more and making more quicker... G.o.d I'm to tired to think about this...' I thought while slowly getting up

'Ow ow ow ow' was all I could think while moving myself to my house

All of this constant daily practice has put a huge strain on both my body and mind. Luckily because of all this strain, I now have increased my strength by huge amounts, and have increased my mana but I hate all of this. It is to much work and I need about ten naps... no wait, twenty naps.

Finally getting myself over to the front door while constantly complaining, I saw a pre-made dinner for me on the table. Ignoring it and going to my room, I flopped on the bed and continued the rest of my sleep.

~5 Hours Later~

*BANG BANG BANG*

"ERIC, WAKE UUUUP! YUNO AND I ARE ABOUT TO LEAAAAAVE"

*BANG BANG BANG*

"ERIIIICCCC"

"FOR HEAVENS SAKE ASTA, JUST SHUT UP" I finally yelled after hearing Asta banging at my door for around five minutes now

'G.o.d dammit... Guess I won't ever get enough sleep now...' I thought to myself

Forcing myself to get up from my bed and quickly change clothing, I finally opened the door and got outside with Asta. We talked a bit before meeting near the exit of town where everyone was already waiting for us.

"What took you so long?" Yuno asked

"I was in the middle of a delightful nap" was all I responded with

Everyone was either congratulating each other or crying about us leaving. Dad was there too and he gave me a magic broom and a bit of money for my leaving gift. No clue what the others got but from what I know about Father Orsi, he probably gave them potatoes... that guy really loves potatoes.

Since the royal capital is a long, long way from Have Village we had to leave a couple of weeks early so that we could make it in time. Asta of course started the first conversation of the trip by asking what it's like.

"I wonder if I'll meet the wizard king?" Asta also said

"First, we need to pa.s.s the Magic Knights entrance exam. Then we'll talk." responded Yuno

"I'm so excited!"

"Excited? Aren't you scared?"

"No, I'm Eric!" I said, cutting in, "And I'm also, so so so tired."

"Come on Eric, Let's hurry! The royal capital's super far away!" Asta said while starting to sprint

"It doesn't even matter if we get there early though. We'll still have to wait for the exam day."

"Just because you get there quickly, doesn't mean you'll become the Wizard King any quicker.' Said Asta

"Agreed" I said while sipping at some coffee

"Where did you get that Eric?" asked Yuno

"I made it of course." I said mid sip

"*Sigh* Please don't try and show off your magic to much in the city"

"Yeah yeah, sure. Just let me finish my coffee"

"Your what?"

"Nothing"

Eventually Asta and Yuno started talking again before they started to race each other. With a sigh I made my coffee disappear and using Unneeded Grimoire to add some wind magic to my movement to catch up with the two. By the time I did catch up with them, Asta was sprawled out on the ground panting and Yuno was sitting down on a rock also panting but telling Asta to stop as we've still got a long way to go.

"You guys need a quick break?" I asked as I slowed down my fall using wind magic

"Yes" said Yuno while Asta said "Not yet! I'm not done yet!" while getting up and trying to run to the city again

Thankfully Yuno caught him by his s.h.i.+rt and threw him against a rock

~TIME SKIPS!~

After walking for a couple of weeks we've finally gotten to the city. We've gone through harsh rain, deserts, and lots of animals to get here but we're here. Now all that's left is the magic knights entrance exams... And some exploring.

As we've entered the city, we instantly saw tons of magic being used in everyday life kinda like in Hage. Some guy was roasting some meat with his fire magic, someone was holding fish in a pocket of water, and someone was cutting a apple using a knife being held up with some air magic I think.

"So, where is the magic knight entrance exams held anyways?" Asked Asta

"Over there obviously" I said while pointing to where a bunch of people where gathering

Walking over to the main entrance of the gathering, there was a bunch of people watching as everyone went in to register.

Out in the crowd, some stranger yelled out to the people registering that they where the Clover Kingdoms hope.

"I'll do my best!" Yelled Asta to the crowd

Yuno and I on the other hand where constantly saying, "We don't know him... We don't know him..."

When we eventually got through the entrance we where sorted into three different lines to have our Grimoires checked and to be given a number. After a bit of waiting, I finally got to the end of my line and was called for.

"Next please"

Walking up to the guy I said, "I'm Eric from Hage Village."

"Eric from Hage Village... Ok could I see your Grimoire then?

Pulling out my Grimoire from the special bag I made to hold it, I showed the front of it to the guy.

"A s-s-six-leaf clover!?!" he said loudly

"H-hey... D-Did he just say a... S-Six leaf Grimoire!?!" some guy from the crowd said.

Upon hearing all of this, it caused a everyone except Asta and Yuno to start talking about my Grimoire.

"Can you just give me my number so I can go?" I asked impatiently

"Y-Yes sir." He said while quickly casting a small spell on my Grimoire and then giving me my number.

Asta came up next after me but I wasn't paying attention. Walking down the hall I entered into a area that resembled a arena. Inside where a bunch of people who where all waiting for the exams to start. At one point while waiting inside of the arena, birds started to fly down and peck some people.

While this was happening I over heard a conversation.

"Hey, ow! What the heck are these birds?!"

"The infamous anti-birds of the exam venue."

"Really? These things?"

"The weaker your magical powers, the more these guys flock to you."

'Huh, that's pretty cool. Wait a minute, ASTA!' I thought

Quickly looking over to find Asta, I first found Yuno. Yuno was just standing around with no birds flying around him. Asta was also walking up to him talking about seeing who would be the next magic king. Looking over to Asta showed that birds where swarming all around him making it seem as if he was a scare crow.

'Jesus... Asta... I feel so sorry for you right now...' was all I could think

Eventually so many birds started swarming around Asta that he tried to run away from them. The birds continued to follow him and made it into a pretty funny scene I must say. At some point during the wild run, Asta ran into some really tall buff guy who said he was going to kill him.

Asta for some reason, then put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Man, you look old! You must've had a hard life!"

The guy in response grabbed Asta by the head and said, "It appears you're ready to die."

'Asta... I no longer feel sorry for you.'

Then two guys wearing black robes that went down to their elbows, asked this guy why he was down here.

The guy simply responded with, "To end this little twerp's life."

Everyone in the crowd started talking about these people and making them seem very important. Eventually everyone started talking about the guy and that he was a squad captain. I stopped paying attention at this point because everything was starting to become predictable. Eventually the squad captain let him go and told him to take care of himself or he was going to kill him.

After a minute all of a sudden, all of the birds flew up into the air and brought everyone's attention to the nine people standing on a balcony. Then out of nowhere dark clouds started gathering directly above the arena and a green light appeared that started making a tree grow downwards. As the tree grew, branches started heading to people and growing brooms off of them for everyone.

"We will now begin the Magic Knights Entrance Exam." said some guy in a mask. Continuing to speak, he also said, "We will now have you all take several tests. The nine of us will evaluate your performance, and then we will select the candidates that we would like to add to our squads. If chosen, you will join that squad. If you're chosen by more than one squad, you may choose the squad you would like to join. On the other hand, those who are not chosen by any captain are not qualified to join the Magic Knights. For the first exam, we will have you get on those brooms and fly."

Upon hearing the last bit, people started complaining to each other. A lot of them said that they've never ridden one before and said they don't know how. Thankfully, Dad gave me some practice on how to do it before I left home. He must've known that this would happen.

"Mages who can control their magical powers should be able to do this instinctively. It is the most basic way for mages to travel. If you cannot fly on a broom, you shouldn't even be here. All right, begin." The mask guy said while flicking out his arm

Seeing this, people started getting on their brooms and trying to fly. Looking around showed me some hilarious faces of the people. Some look constipated while others looked as if they where trying to solve a very complex math formula. People started getting off the ground left and right with only some people truly being successful.

Shacking my head, I got on my broom to show them how to properly do it. I instantly rised up into the air and decided to do something cool. I started to stand up and started walking forwards as I made my broom move forwards with me and also twirl. Eventually I was standing on the head of the broom balancing perfectly with my arms out to side to help keep balance... Also to just T-Pose in general.

At some point I did put my arms down to stop looking stupid and flew towards Yuno. Yuno himself was standing on his broom moving it around kinda like a skateboard. I myself was still standing on the top of the broom with the bristles aiming down at the floor. It may have looked really weird but it showed my magical control of my broom and my physical prowess of being able to balance and stand on it like that.

Eventually we where all called down and given our next task. Stone walls where constructed in front of us and we where told to use our raw mana to destroy it. I just formed a small measly ball with my mana at the tip of my finger. Some dirty blond guy said "Bah-ha" and made fun of it but I then sent it to the wall it destroyed it instantly. He instantly stopped making that weird noise and me and turned to Asta to make fun of him.

The next test was to hit moving targets with accuracy at the center. This time I did almost the same thing but this time I fired multiple small b.a.l.l.s of mana at each target and hit each and everyone one of them perfectly multiple times in a row.

Next test was the perfect test for me. The people on the balcony called it the Creation Magic Exam and said that I had to create something with my magic. With a small smirk on my face I decided to make something awesome. Combining everything I know about magic and my ideas for things, I made a phoenix out of ice that breathed light. It took a huge amount of my mana but thankfully for my training over the years, I was able to do this at least once before draining to much of my mana.

Again, the next test was a perfect fit for me. Developmental Magic Exam dealt with improving my magic from one thing to another. For this I just created a simple seed, and fueled it with some mana that I had transformed into earth magic to speed up the growth. The tree grew nearly as quickly as the one that appeared out of the sky early to hand us the brooms.

Finally the last exam was coming up and the mask guy walked up to the balcony once again.

"All right. The next exam shall be the last one." He said, "You will engage in actual combat."

Hearing this everyone started mumbling and saying things that I couldn't exactly hear

Then one of the other nine people stood up and yelled for everyone to hear, "You'll be battling! You will pair off and fight with your partner. You may use your grimoires to attack. Fighting is our duty. Show us your true abilities!"

After he ended, the mask guy spoke up again. "As soon as one of you yields or becomes unable to fight, the exam will be over. There will be mages who can use healing magic on standby."

Again the other guy interrupted again by saying, "So fight to your heart's content!"

I walked up to a random guy and asked him if he was willing to fight. He simply said sure and then tried striking a conversation with me. I simply didn't pay attention as I wanted to watch the battles.

The first battle was between Asta and that weird guy from earlier who kept saying "Bah-ha". Each of them got to their sides of the arena and when the battle started, "Bah-ha" guy formed a blue dome around himself that had weird cannon like things on the sides.

"There's no need to hold back. Come at me! Bah-ha!" said Bah-ha guy with one eye closed and a smirk on his face. "Now... Make sure to struggle as much as you can to make things exciting!" he finished

"Sure thing." Asta responded simply as he opened his Grimoire and let it float with the blood red aura

"Here I go" said Asta as he pushed himself off the ground so hard that the ground beneath him broke and he was sent flying to Bah-ha guy. Half way to Bah-ha guy, Asta reached into his Grimoire and started pulling out his sword.

Bah-ha guy only had enough time to say "Huh?" before Asta was already at him easily used his sword to easily downwards slash through the bubble and knock the guy out with so much force that it broke the ground around them. Everyone was very surprised at what happened and Asta then went into some random speech again about becoming the Magic King and joining the the Magic Knights.

After hearing it so much I just gave up on listening to it. I just started getting myself ready to make it my time to s.h.i.+ne.
