3 Mimic Mirror
It was a good thing that Thomas's appearance changed. He could easily pass as a 15 or 16 year old with how much more youthful he now looks.
The reason this is a good thing is because coincidently today in the Hage village Grimoire Tower, the youths of the area will accept thier grimoire.
Thomas blended in with the teens as they entered the tower. He kept his hood up so he can avoid attention to his identity. He was not sure how close knit the communities in the area were and whether someone would question his presense.
It was all needless worry though as nobody even spared him a second glance.
Within the tower lobby, many teens stood waiting for the Tower Master. There were conversations going on everywhere due to anticipation and excited over everyone finally getting thier own grimoire. Some hoping to join the Clover Kingdom's Magic Knights.
In one area, there were a couple spoiled brats that were criticizing a grey Spiky haired kid named Asta, who did not have any magic.
Even though Asta heard their words he kept his attention at the front of the tower where and old wizard appeared.
"Welcome to Grimoire Tower, acceptees. On this momentous day, you will take your first step down a new path. I wish you integrity, hope and love."
The old wizard began his speech as he descended the tower on what looked like a magical square that he stood upon. He also had a magic square in front of his mouth, to amplify his voice like a microphone.
Once he reached the ground he stepped forward to his podium and resumed his speech.
"For those who don't know, I am the master of this Grimoire Tower. Now. Never once has anyone from this region distinguished him or herself by becoming a magic knight, much less the wizard king. I pray that one amomg you have what it takes to become the most powerful mage in the land... SERIOUSLY I MEAN IT!"
The last part the old mage said hysterically, to which everyone remained silent causing him to cough before continuing.
"And now... to accept... your grimiores... "
With a wave of his hand, several dozen glowing books floated off the towers bookshelves and then levitated in the air above the crowd of teens.
One by one the grimoires flew down toward their new owners, and the owners caught them happily while rejoicing at finally having them.
"Finally! My very own grimiore!"
"Check it out! Mines bigger than yours!"
"Yeah, maybe! But mines thicker! Hehe!"
"Here it is! My one way ticket out of this little village!"
"I can carry on the family business!"
"This is my grimoire? Seriously?!"
"Why is mine so tiny..?"
The murmurs continued before the old wizard interrupted in an almost flat tone.
"Yes, very good. I have high hopes for you."
However one boy's exclamation broke everyone out of their revelry.
"Hey... uh..." Asta's hands were still in the air waiting for his grimoire still.
"Is my grimoire running late, or something..?"
The old wizard cut through boy's hopes like a hot knife through butter.
"Uh... Try again next year..?"
"Whaaaat?!" Asta screamed in shock. But the crowd began cruelly laughing at his misfortunes and even continued ridiculing him.
After moment of the crowd jeering at Asta, a bright golden light suddenly erupted from a tall dark haired boy's grimoire. This boy name is Yuno, and the grimiore is a beautiful green book with a four leaf clover on the cover.
Shock spread through the crowd and the old wizard exclaimed, "Oh! Is that... the four leaf clover?"
"What?! The four leaf? Like from the legend?"
"The grimiore that was bestowed to the first wizard king?!"
"The stories about it are true! It is filled with tremendous power but also good luck!"
"And it's his?! That filthy little commoner?!"
"Awesome!"
Yuno caught his grimiore and then turned before declaring, "I WILL become the Wizard King!"
Applause broke out among the crowd and many were praising how cool Yuno was.
Asta was about to stand up and declare Yuno as his rival but something unexpected happened.
A bright silver light erupted not far from where Yuno and Asta stood. A grimiore glowed in the hands of a blonde haired youth wearing a dark tunic and a hood that helped conceal his ocean blue eyes.
The grimiore cover looked like a mirror with a crescent moon and a star etched into its center. Within the moon was a four leaf clover.
[A/N: Picture a square mirror shield as the cover of the grimiore, with a four leaf in the center. Image for reference here]
"What?! How is this possible?!" The old wizard was about to froth from his mouth.
"Another four leaf?!"
"Isn't having someone get one already incredibly rare?!"
The young man shrunk and tried to avoid attention. The boy Yuno, gave him a curious glance.
The moment was interrupted by Asta deciding to announce he was Yuno's rival and drew everyone's attention as well as more verbal abuse.
Asta was also about to point at the other guy that got a four leaf but suddenly couldn't find him in the crowd.
The young man, which was Thomas, had decided to meld into the shadows once everyone's attention was on Asta.
Thomas had felt some hostile glares and didn't want to be noticed while leaving.
Once he made it outside, he found a dark corner to look at his grimiore.
The mirror cover was pristine and and gave off a faint silver glow. Thomas opened the pages and found two pages already had spells.
One was a spell he already possessed, [Nayru's Love], on the page it had many runes that Thomas could somehow understand described the spells details.
The other spell page is what excited Thomas greatly.
[Mimic Mirror - Record the casting of another spell and save a copy of the spell within a blank page in the grimiore.]
Thomas started breathing heavily.
"This is copy magic like Rhya from the elves has. But I dont have to touch someone's grimiore... I just have to watch the spell being cast and I can choose to record a copy of it. That's incredibly useful!"
Thomas smiled with glee. "Now I just need to record a few spells..."
