It's been quite a while since Sekke made Secre his familiar. He met the royals once again back at the village they were staying at but returned back home soon, since his father had done his job. And though Mimosa was slightly upset at that she still said goodbye to him with a smile promising to meet again.
Though Six years have passed since that day and no such meeting occured.
Anyways, Sekke who was easily able to convince his mother to let Secre live with them even though Zuk said that the bird looked weird earning quite a bit of pecks on his head, had major developments in his magic.
Firstly his mana amount grew by leaps and bounds shocking even Secre who could feel that his mana was almost as large as the first wizard king, even though he was still growing. The bronze spells got stronger and tougher as well making him easily manipulate Extase enclosed in a bronze coating. He even started using the bronze covered Extase as a hoverboard something which he was very proud about....I mean who doesn't live hoverboards.
He also unlocked the two more of his sacred gears and now only the delete field was left to be unlocked, and let the dragon residing inside him gain conciousness.
The two new sacred gears namely, Blaze black flare and Shadow prison became a great deal in his arsenal. He now just trap the mana beasts in his shadow prison which is like an aura that comes out of his body and restraints the other while using a combination of absorption line and blaze black flare to scorch their enemies from kill them easily using a flaming whip.
He also compared his sacred gear restraints with the restraining magic from other magic knights and knew for a fact that it was very superior to theirs, heck the blaze black flare could even burn the other flames from different magicians. "I HAVE FU*KING AMATERASU!!!" were the words that Sekke used the moment he discovered this making Secre look at his Secre look at his screw loose partner with a deadpan look on her mental face....she just remained expressionless on the outside.
Now going to his bronze magic, Sekke didn't try making new spells as he was busy with improving the durability of his bronze while increasing the speed at which he could cast spells as well, but he still had a few new spells in his arsenal, like coating his limbs with bronze to increase attack and defense which was already pretty high because of his regular hunting sessions, he also made a spell to fire bullets made of bronze instead of pure mana man bhi them more durable and penetrable depending on their shape.
Though despite all this improvements he once again failed to improve his second magic affinity which for Fu*k's sake was getting more complex the more he tried.
But all that ends today because currently on his bride bike Sekke, with Secre sitting on in his pocket were going to a nearby town to get his Grimoire.
Yes, Sekke turned 15 years old quite recently and was now eligible to get his Grimoire, though not having a Grimoire tower in his town he need to go to a nearby town which had one. So after making some preparations and getting a good luck from his parents where his father was crying so much that even the neighbours got disgusted looking at his tear and snot covered face.
Anyway leaving all that let's get back to Sekke.
"Hey Secre, those shades are fine, right?" asked Sekke.
Secre who had a small pair of shades covering her eyes which were matching the ones that Sells was wearing raised her wing and made a thumbs up.....feather up?... whatever, you understood it right?
Sekke smirked seeing the response. He had a hard time training the bird certain tricks and making her look cool but finally he was able to make her accustomed to wearing those shades.
His life with Secre's arrival got a bit more easy, she works like an alarm clock, informs if there was some dangers, scouts the forest from up above making his hunt easy, covering him with a sheet whenever he would pass out working on some magic. In short she was very reliable and caring partner though he still need to lock her out of the room whenever he needs to 'relieve something' bit that was just for the greater good.....The scene when he found the bird looking at him doing the deed from the window so intently with those piercing and emotionless eyes still sends a shiver down his spine..... He learned front that and now makes sure that every window and door is closed before he gets into business.
"Secre I am looking good right? Don't want to mess up on the day I recieve my Grimoire.
Secret looked at Sekke whose face now looked quite good and nodded her head though it was not better than the prince she served before it was still good in her opinion.
Sekke smiled at that and caressed the bird with his finger and said. "Alright then let's increase our speed." said Sekke as he started going even faster on his bike making Secre get a bit deeper in his pocket.
--------------------
After a while Seeke soon reached the Grimoire tower and saw a huge crowd of children all around him.
'Damn there are so many of them.....how the Fu*k does this tower have any Grimoire's left after dealing with this many people every year?'
He then glanced towards Secre and asked, "Anyone dangerous you suspect or someone with high amount of mana?"
Secre who was sitting on his shoulder took flight to observe the area from above and soon came down and pointed out the people she felt high amounts of mana from.
Sekke who now knew whom to check out in this whole crowd compared his mana to theirs and was happy knowing that his mana was way above their and puffed his chest in pride.
Knowing what the boy was thinking Secre shook her head and thought, 'You still compare that vast amount of mana to others, at this point you just want to boast about yourself you know?' and pecked his head once.
"Ow, don't do that Secre.....oh, looks like they are starting this, wish me luck Secre."
Secre patted his head with her wing and then flew away, since only those who were about to get their Grimoire's were allowed to enter the tower.
Seeke soon entered the tower and saw an old man sitting on a carpet floating in the air with a very long beard.
'...That's so cliché I mean what does he want to do with his beard, clean the floor with his mop like beard, he might even have ticks and lice in there for all we know....I will make sure to keep my distance from him...'
"Hello everyone I am called Fantina the witch of this grimoire tower-"
'...SHE IS FU*KING REVERSE TRAP!!!...WITH A BEARD!!!' yelled Sekke in his mind and stopped listening to whatever he....she was saying and now decided to not even get close to that man....woman even by accident.
'Extase-chan my eyes saw something horrible....I want to unsee it.' thought Sekke as he held the held the hilt if his sword that was resting on his waist.
"- now, raise your hands and let the Grimoires choose you!" said the bearded witch.
'Nii-chan give me luck.' thought Sekke as he raised his hands as well.
Soon the books present in the tower started shining and started flying towards various people.
"Ah, mine's so small"
"Hehe, mine is big!!"
"Shut up loser, look mine is bigger and thicker than yours!"
"...But aren't you a girl?"
"Huh so wha-....DIE YOU PERVERT!!!"
Sekke started laughing listening to the nearby people who got their Grimoire and then looked forward to see what his Grimoire gonna be.
Soon his Grimoire came in front of him as well making him surprised as he thought, '...Why the hell are there two Grimoires floating in front of me?'
All the people who were near Sekke had the same thought as they saw the two glowing books in front of him one with light blue cover emitting a similar coloured aura and the other a red cover with a similar red aura around it.
Soon the people started making noises about this and soon the area around him cleared up making Sekke that centre of attention.
'...Okay.....this is awkward.....and fitting for the dark lord.' thought Sekke with a smirk as he took the two Grimoires in front of him and said, "Two Grimoires and both of them being three clovers at that.....I hope that you don't mind me taking them?"
Sekke made eye contact with the bearded woman who was looking at him in amusement and said, "Those Grimoires chose you....there is no way I can interfere in that, right?"
"Alright then, you two will be the Dark lord's possessions from now on." said Sekke as he looked at the woman once again and nodded his head and turned around to get out.
But before he exited he stopped and turned around.
"By the way, not being rude but what is you magic affinity?" asked Sekke looking towards the old man....woman.
"...Hair magic...why? Are you jealous of my glossy hair?" said the old woman stroking her beard.
"...Yeah....nope." said Sekke as he got out of the tower deciding to get away from there as soon as possible.

A/N:
Well there you have it, the cannon will be starting soon and I am surprised at myself that it is happening so soon in my novel(you will understand if you have read my other novels)
Anyway onto the important topic, which Magic squad do you think Sekke should join, also it would be helpful if you could tell the reason for that though you can just name the squad if you like that, I will deal with that somehow.
Thanks for reading.
