Grimoire

Aiden was standing in front of his house in new attire which is similar to his previous attire with the exception of the mask.

Today was the day when he would get his grimoire. Every year in March, children who reached the age of 15 would go to the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony to receive their grimoire which took place in Hage village. Each Grimoire would choose their user accordingly or you could say that they were enchanted books which changed into grimoire upon coming in contact with the person's magic.

Aiden took one last look of his house to make sure everything is locked for safety measures he summoned 5 wolves and commanded them to hide in shadow.

Time Skip

Aiden was standing in front of the grimoire tower which was cylindrical in shape standing in front of the tower there were numerous children around his age who were all excited but most noticeable was a short boy with grey hair who was accompanied by another boy the same age as others while they were accompanied by others an oldman in father attire, a young woman in sister attire with four smaller children. He was the most excited one shouting how he was going to take the magic knight selection exam which takes 6 months later after the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony.

The door of the tower opened letting them in.

Inside the tower there were multiple shelves filled with books which will later turn into grimoire upon coming into contact with its users.

As they reached near the pedestal the master of Grimoire tower came down from the top of the tower, flying down with the help of a flying mat.

And gave a speech about how he expected at least one of them to become a magic knight.

"Ahem" he clears his throat and

"Now, it's time for the awarding ceremony of grimoire to begin" he declares as numerous grimoires started flying down to children. Grimoire is varying in size, width, and patterns representing their magical attributes.

"Hey look it's my grimoire."

"Look mine is bigger."

"Mine is thicker."

"Why mine is so small.?"

"I can't wait to see my grimoire filled one day."

Types of chatter filled the room as they started comparing their grimoire with others.

"Huh,my grimoire is coming late or what?"

A grey haired boy asked aloud his voice attracting attention.

"Er" seeing such an unfamiliar situation the grimoire tower master was even shocked that at least every one gets a Grimoire.

"Try again next year." He says after coming out of his shock.

"Hey, look he doesn't even have a grimoire."

"I have heard he can't even do magic."

"Can you imagine having no mana, he is pathetic."

"If we competed to see who was most pathetic we'd be no match for that guy."

All started commenting and openly mock him that he doesn't even have mana or grimoire.

Those who accompanied him started to worry about him.

Their chatter came abruptly at Stop by an illuminating light which spread throughout the chamber. The light dies down revealing a golden glowing grimoire which shocked everyone. It was

"A four leaf clover grimoire"

"A four leaf? You mean the legendary"

"The one that the first wizard king received" the father who accompanied the silver haired brat said with shock.

"The grimoire was said to be filled with immense power and good luck" the sister Said

"Him? That peasant." The nobles who came for their grimoire muttered through gritted teeth showing their jealousy and hatred, seeing the one who accompanied the silver haired brat get four leaves.

"Wow" some were in awe seeing the legendary 4 leaf clover grimoire.

Seeing that he got the four leaf grimoire he declared

"I am the one going to be the wizard..."

His sentence abruptly stopped, there was another glow which filled the room but in the darkness, a terrifying aura filled the chamber. Everyone present in the chamber became stiffened fears gripping their heart saying them to run away to be far-far away from this aura but they can't even Twitch their muscles that they would be noticed if they moved.

They looked up to see a grimoire descent slowly having the darkest shade of black as its cover while in the middle it was greyish showing another Four leaf Clover Grimiore, but no one commented.

The grimoire came in front of a boy having Black haired boy, clad in black attire with the addition of white bandages around his hand in fingerless gloves pattern.

As he took the grimoire all the terrifying aura dissipated, leaving people wondering about the truth of what they had just witnessed two-two Four leaf clover grimoire with the later being so terrifying, it doesn't feel evil but no less terrifying.

"What was that terrifying aura?"

"That felt so powerful and dangerous"

"I thought I was going to die"

"What another four leaf grimoire?"

Types of discussion filled the chamber.

Aiden simply took his grimoire and moved out.

Coming outside he left by sinking in his shadow.

Aiden emerges from his shadow, standing atop a rugged cliff, with the wind whipping through his hair. With a swift gesture of his hand He Summons his grimoire from shadows.

'It contains all the spells I have created whether it's a construction spell or its variation summoning spell, teleporting through shadows'

He mused, glancing at it before stashing it back within the shadows.

He raises his right hand and summons a majestic black phoenix from his shadow who lets out a piercing screech Pheonix let out a large screech as he lowered his head, allowing Aiden to mount him.

"Mother, I got a four leaf grimoire. I wish you would be here as I came a step closer in achieving my dream.I hope, wherever you are, you're watching over me, feeling proud of what I've become." He said while looking towards the sky with a soft smile.

With a gesture of his hands Phoenix gave a mighty screech and with the powerful thrust of his wings he flew to the sky.

'I need to understand various applications of magic before joining the Black Bulls. For that I have to look into the library' he thought as he flew towards Common Realm where the library is located.

He rested against Phoenix, gazing up at the afternoon sky. With a content smile, he closed his eyes, relishing the cool breeze brushing against him, enjoying the simple joy of the moment.

Phoenix screech informed him of lessening the distance towards the common realm. He gestured the phoenix to land outside to avoid unnecessary attention from the public.

The bird descended allowing him to climb off.

He dismissed the summon, in which phoenix mixed with shadow to become one with shadow.

He was surprised by seeing the difference between the lifestyle in the forsaken realm with the common realm.

There were varieties of shops in line, in which shopkeepers using their magic tried to grab the attention. He moved through the market area observing each shop for future visits.

He stopped in front of the Tavern, since he hadn't eaten. He entered the tavern, it has a warm glow of lanterns hanging from wooden beams, with sturdy wooden tables and chairs arranged to accommodate both small groups and larger gatherings. With the kitchen being on one side in the Tavern, while the stove is attached to a wall. There he sees a girl around his age cooking while carrying her sibling

on her back, while older siblings helped her to serve the food.

He took a seat and waited for her to take orders.

Rebecca noticing him came to his table and asked "What do you like to have?"

"What is on your menu?" He asked.

"Sure we have today :-

1. Sakura Rice Bowl

2. Miso Soup

3. Tempura Platter

4. Teriyaki Skewers...

Aiden became more and more confused as he hears all the names, he who lived the majority of life in the forest only surviving on animal meat he hunts.

"I actually am unfamiliar with those names, could you please bring something which you think is best." He requested.

"Sure I will be coming" she said and left to prepare the order.

He doesn't have to wait for long as she brings him food.

"Well let me help you." She said and served him the food while explaining to him about each and every food with ingredients so he doesn't have the same problem in future.

He took his first bite and he at this point knows how bad his cooking really is, he ended up eating more he would eat normally.

After finishing the food Rebecca comes to pick up the plates.

He stands up and moved where Rebecca was cooking and

"Your cooking is really good. I haven't had this in years. He praised with a smile.

"Thanks" she replied while smiling. In her daily job many customers tried to flirt with her by complementing her food but she didn't know why she felt his praise was genuine.

"How much would it cost?" Aiden asked

"It would be 150 yules" she answered

He nodded and took out his pouch and made payment before asking

"Is there a library nearby?"

"Yeah, it's in kikka. Near the stadium where the magic knight selection exam took place." Rebecca answered

He thanked her and left for the library.

'It looks similar to the grimoire tower." Aiden thought as he stood in front of the library. Which was a cylindrical building just like the grimoire tower.

'It was called the Kingdom's main library by commoners because I don't see Nobels giving peasants their knowledge.'

He thought as he entered the library.

The interior of the library was vast and filled with rows upon rows of towering bookshelves, each laden with tomes of knowledge and arcane wisdom. Soft light filtered in through stained glass windows, casting colorful patterns across the polished marble floors.

The library contains two levels the first being open for all, consisting of the history of the clover kingdom.

Second being only for magic knights,

Which was separated with the help of barrier magic which only allows magic knights to even render normal spatial mages to bypass.

There are clear warnings given that if someone forces entry, they would be arrested and treasoned for betrayal.

On the first level there are many people who are present that look like commoners from their attire.

He looked from selves to look for something from what he could benefit from but it only consisted of the history of the clover kingdom, previous magic knight captain and wizard king feats.

'I don't know if I could bypass the barrier but if not they wouldn't hesitate to follow the warning and I am currently not strong enough to stand above the law.'

As he was going to leave he noticed a particular book about different types of spells used by individuals.

He quickly took the book and moved towards the table.

'From what I read there are several types of magic mainly

1.Creation magic- which I use as Summons, 2.Healing magic- I haven't tried yet, 3.Reinforcement Magic- a form of magic that allows the user to increase their physical abilities, which I have used many times when hunting and fighting.

4.Restraining Magic- a form of magic that allows the users to immobilize their opponents, I used when clients asked for the captives to be alive.

5.Trap Magic- comes handy during hunting.

....

There are several but what most caught my eyes are'

[Manaskin- a basic reinforcement magic, if mastered correctly it acts as a cloak to shield the user's body. Users can also fly using this technique.

Mana Zone- is an advanced mana control technique that allows the user to manipulate the mana in the surrounding area.]

He thought while looking where it was written.

"Manaskin would be nothing but mastering mana zone without a proper blueprint would be hard" he mutters.

He kept the book from where he had taken and left the library.

'It's already evening I have to postpone training for tomorrow, first I have to look for a place to stay' he thought as he stands in front of the library looking afar at the setting sun.

He made his way towards the same Tavern which he went to earlier to have dinner.

Scene change

"Hey it's you again, so what do you want?" Rebecca asked while looking at Aiden

"Bring what you feel suitable" Aiden answered

"As you wish" Rebecca said and left.

She brought him dinner which he ate and left after making payment.

He leaves in search of a place to spend his night.
