Ch6: Grimoire

Once in a year, children of 15 year of age gather for the grimoire acceptance ceremony which is a

rite of passage which will increase their mp.

Today was one such day and yami was headed to collect his grimoire. They were many people present

in the library, nobles and commoners alike.

They were all present in the royal capital of Crown, azure. Thus even the commoners here weren't

treated that differently. Yami seeing all the people here couldn't help but be ecstatic. This was because they were beast men, dragons, demons, elves and obviously humans. This was the main reason yami decided to come collect his grimoire (he could have just asked for it to be sent).

After much chatter among the various people present, a voice was heard from above silencing all of them:

???:"hello young ones, welcome to the royal library of Crown" he continued "you young ones have come this day to receive your grimoires and step on a brand new path."

???: "what you do is up to you, I‟m here just to give you access to what is rightfully yours, I hope you grow up to become well known legends"

???: "I am the keeper of this sacred place. Now shall we get started?" as he landed on the pulpit present in the room.

Then suddenly, many grimoires began leaving their shelf and float in the air each with its own colored aura. They each headed to the specific people: their owners.

Having received their grimoire, the young children who had just received their grimoires said;

"Finally, I can become a magic knight"

"It seems my legend can begin"

"Hmmm, mine is small well just have to make it big!"

Soon, yami got his grimoire and a golden aura surrounded it he looked at it

Yami: "oh a golden crown" hearing this everyone turned as though to see the grimoire, then one said "seems we have a genius among us"

Another: "wow a golden crown grimoire, lucky"

Random beast man: "tch damn human noble"

What did it mean to have a golden crowned grimoire? It simply meant the owner will have things easy.

Not luck, not large mp; simply everything will be easy for said owner. Thus everyone was in awe from yami's grimoire

Yami looked at his grimoire and thought 'hmmm, not bad. It's black, golden crown has the size of a bible from my past life, isn't heavy; perfect. This star pattern is quite strange, well what did you expect,

am strange after all'

After having analyzed his grimoire, he headed home not minding the people around him or the

comments they made.

He soon arrived home and straight way showed his parents his grimoire. They looked at it and like him thought it strange but they said it was normal since he's strange; hearing this from his own parents, conflicted him but he brushed it off as he headed to his room.

Opening his grimoire, he noticed that all the spells he had practiced in the last decade, nearly 40 spells which he either created by his own imagination or techniques copied from his past life (most were copied, haha). He went to sleep reminding himself of the magic squad exam coming up a month from now.

The magic squad entrance exam, a very auspicious event that took place every year were all the magic captains of the various squads were present so as to scout new recruits. This year was no different; many would come just to get into one squad even if it's the worst, some it will be their first try while others will be repeating after having failed the previous year or the year before that.

Yami thought 'so it's in one month huh. Well it's not going to be a problem, I am as strong as a vice-captain or so if I fight seriously' this wasn't boasting, yami was super op, he had 13 elements;

controlled 10 and 3(earth, time and healing) were left. He hasn't mastered all the 10 but he had good control with perfect mastery of dark and lightening magic, he had an above average control of light,

teleportation and ice magic while the rest, well he had better control than your average magic knight.

So he didn't need any preparation, for the remaining month he did what he‟ll usually do every day:

Wake up, bath, train, bath again, do some small talk with family, train, bath again, take care of dresses and sleep. This was his every day program, though sometimes he'll visit his cousin rose and other times just go out with his family.

_A MONTH LATER_

And so a month passed very quickly and today was the day yami and many others had been waiting for: magic squad entrance exam day.

Every youth who wanted to take part in the exam whether commoner or noble could. Yami could have

just gotten a recommendation to join the hero guild but he told his parents he didn‟t want to, all this because he was an otaku inside and this was an opportunity to make a mark, his first step to becoming a legend.

He headed to the coliseum where the exam was supposed to take place.

Soon he arrived the entry and saw various people there; he smiled as he stood on the line, this line comprised of

the people who were to take part in the exam, and they would check your grimoire and attribute you an identification number (IDM). His turn soon came and he was no.177.

He headed in and breathed he fresh air present in the area, he looked around to see all the people

present and he couldn't help himself from thinking 'this is gonna be fun'
