Chapter 3: Accept Your Grimoire!

After Ben and Father Orsi entered the Grimoire Tower, everyone's attention inside the tower shifted to Ben due to the unique aura he had.

Father Orsi went to the Grimoire Master, who was standing on the side of the Grimoire Tower and talking to a few members.

Ben was looking around the tower. The tower looked majestic when viewed from the center at the bottom, while the light traveled through the three-leaf clover symbol at the roof of the tower.

Seeing Ben alone, a few girls from the village approached him to chat with him.

"Look, a handsome guy showing off," one of the guys who noticed the girls taking the initiative to chat with Ben said with an ugly expression.

"When did you start worrying about peasants? Huh..." Another guy with green spiky hair looked at Ben, who was chatting with the girls.

"When we get our Grimoire, we will teach him a lesson. What type of Grimoire will this peasant get, you think?" He mocked Ben and started to laugh loudly, taking the attention of everyone present there.

After a few minutes, the Grimoire Master arrived at the small stage prepared for him.

He looked at everyone present at the Grimoire Tower, giving their Grimoire, with a fatherly smile. His eyes swept across everyone.

He wore a purple wizard cloak and a matching wizarding hat, with a white beard like Dumbledore.

When he arrived on the stage, everyone who was chatting became silent to listen to him.

"Welcome to Grimoire Tower acceptance."

"I wanted to proudly declare you who will set out on your own paths today."

"I wish you all integrity, hope, and love!"

"For those who don't know, I am the master of Grimoire Tower."

"And uh... ever since, no one in this region has distinguished himself, becoming a magic knight, much less as the Wizard King..."

"I pray that one among you will become Wizard King someday."

The Grimoire Master gave his speech like a kind elderly man.

There were a few seconds of silence. Suddenly, the Grimoire Master's expression turned from that calm father to a frustrated one.

"Seriously, I really mean it!"

He shouted, looking at the new generation with a desperate expression.

Sigh... I seriously sympathize with this guy; he desperately wanted someone to represent the whole village by becoming a magic knight. Ben looked at the pitiful old man who, for a few seconds, showed his real emotion.

The Grimoire's Master, who noticed the pitiful look directed towards him, looked at Ben.

"Ahem... and now..."

Immediately, the Grimoire Master changed the subject back to his elderly kind man face.

"To accept your Grimoires!"

He finished this sentence in a deep voice.

Everyone present in the tower became excited and nervous.

Ben looked at the shelves where the books in them started to glow and convert into Grimoires.

"The time has come. Now I will become the hero myself." Ben muttered to himself with a wide grin on his face.

The many books on the shelves started to glow in different colors according to the nature of the Grimoire.

The Grimoires started to fly and move towards the owners they chose and landed in their hands respectively.

There was an uproar when everyone caught their Grimoire. Some were very happy looking at their Grimoire, some were sad, looking at their Grimoire, and some were comparing their Grimoire to others by size and thickness.

Suddenly, the entire Grimoire room was lit in a dark green color. Everyone in the tower closed their eyes due to its brightness.

But Ben noticed the Grimoire which was pitch black; the corner of the Grimoire was in a radiant green border, and in the center of the Grimoire, there was a four-leaf clover.

The leaves on the top and the bottom were in radiant green, while the leaves on both sides were in black, and the border line was in radiant green.

When the Grimoire Tower Master noticed the Grimoire in front of Ben, he was shocked.

"Is that a four-leaf clover?" He uttered these words in shock.

"No way, the one in the legend." One of the men who mocked Ben before the Grimoire ceremony began looked at the Grimoire with jealous eyes.

"The Grimoire that was once bestowed upon the first Wizard King?" Father Orsi looked at the four-leaf Grimoire in Ben's hands.

"I will become the... uh... Wizard King!" Ben declared loudly.

After a brief silence, there was an uproar among the people present in the tower.

"Ben is the rising star of our huge village." Father Orsi declared happily, tears coming from his eyes.

"Ben, I knew you would make me and our village proud." Father Orsi came near Ben and hugged him in happiness.

When Ben was about to reply, Father Orsi was suddenly interrupted by a female voice.

[Ding...]

[requirement to unlock the Omnitrix system is completed]

[system unlocked...]

[Ding...]

[Classic Omnitrix will be provided for the host.]

[Do you accept it]

[yes] [no]

When Ben looked at the system screen, he started to have a wide grin.

'Finally, finally, I unlocked my system.'

'I choose yes.' Ben chose yes in his mind.

[Ding...]

[Host choose to yes. delivering the Omnitrix to the host.]

The Grimoire opened, the pages started to flip, and wording started to appear on the page in radiant green.

The classic Omnitrix came out of the page, which glowed in green color. When Ben reached his hand to hold it, suddenly, the Omnitrix grabbed his left hand, and his eyes changed from blue to green.

"What's happening?" Father Orsi looked at the scene and asked Ben with a bewildered look on his face.

"Um... don't know. I think it is some kind of weapon." Ben lied to Father Orsi.

[Ding...]

[host This is the first day of the system. there is a bigger pack due to wanting to open it.]

"Yes," Ben answered with a smile on his face while walking with Father Orsi, returning to the orphanage.

[Ding... the beginner's pack is opened.]

[heat blast is obtained...]

[Fourarms is obtained...]

[steam fly is obtained...]

[diamond head is obtained...]

[ghost freak is obtained...]

"____"

"You mean I can only transform into 5 aliens?" Ben looked at the screen in disbelief.

Even in the classic Ben 10, the protagonist was given 10 aliens. He looked at the system like a thief who stole from him.

Father Orsi looked at Ben, who was giving different kinds of expressions, looking blankly, with a concerned look on his face.
