The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 10: Using mockery to mask inner fear

Just at this time!
A somewhat stiff and flustered voice rang out from the crowd.

"that……"

Why didn't the grimoire come to me?

Asta's voice suddenly rang out, causing the atmosphere in the magic tower to change abruptly.

Everyone looked up and saw Asta with his hands empty, and their expressions were even more surprised than Asta's.

"Then come back next year."

The old mage also noticed this, his already narrowed eyes narrowed even more, and he spoke softly.

"what!!"

Asta let out a dismayed cry.

"Hahaha!!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"it's so funny!"

"Is this short, stout guy trying to be funny?"

In the next instant, mocking voices came from all directions, instantly filling the entire magic platform.

Asta's expression stiffened, and Mumu immediately noticed that Asta's hands were trembling slightly.

"This guy is probably going to suffer a pretty big blow."

Seeing Asta's state, Mumu sighed inwardly, knowing that Asta would suffer an even greater blow in a moment.

Think of this.

Yuki's eyes flashed, and he looked up at Yuno, who was not far from Asta.

Almost at the same time that Yuki looked at Yuno.

The pale blue grimoire floating in front of Yuno suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, and Yuno's own magic power also surged at the same moment. The power that emanated even stirred up an invisible wave of energy!

This sudden scene drew everyone's attention back.

"A four-leaf clover magic book?"

Yuki stared at Yuno, who was enveloped in golden light, his eyes slightly narrowed.

At such close range, Yuki could clearly sense the explosive increase in the magical power within Yuno's body!
If it was true that after Yuki obtained the grimoire, his magical power gradually increased, then Yuno's magical power is now experiencing an explosive growth!

This is the difference between the nobles, royalty, commoners, and the lower classes in this world!
Such a gap cannot be bridged simply through hard work.

If before obtaining the grimoire, Yuuki could still fight Yuno to a draw through skill, now that he has the grimoire, the gap between Yuuki and Yuno has actually widened.

In the original story, Yuno became a captain-level mage in just about two years, a talent that can only be described as terrifying!

but.

The power that Yuno was unleashing was not his own.

"The power of the elves? It's far more terrifying than I expected."

Momu frowned slightly.

That's right!

The magical power emanating from Yuno at this moment, including wind magic and the four-leaf clover grimoire, is not Yuno's own power.

This power originates from the soul of the elven infant within Yuno, conceived five hundred years ago by the elven chieftain "Richter" and the princess "Tetia" of the Clover Kingdom, who died before birth.

This is not to say that Yuno herself has no magic.

It was Noh's own magic that was suppressed by the magic and power possessed by the elven baby.

Simply put, Yuno possesses two souls: his own and that of an elven infant. The elven infant has no consciousness; it merely resides within Yuno's soul and is dominated by Yuno.

In other words, Yuno possesses two magic books.

This is definitely a cheat code template.

With such a cheater as a target to be defeated, Mumu really didn't know what to say.

"The differences between people are really huge."

Momo chuckled self-deprecatingly, while simultaneously feeling an inexplicable pressure in his heart.

Yuno – Four-leaf clover wind magic, star magic!

Asta – Anti-Demon Magic, Sword Magic!

Upon closer inspection, these two guys actually possess dual magic!
Mumu's lips twitched involuntarily.

The dazzling golden light began to fade slowly, and the grimoire that had been floating in the air was now fully revealed to everyone. In particular, the four-leaf clover mark on the cover of the grimoire caused everyone present to widen their eyes involuntarily.

"A four-leaf clover spellbook!"

The old mage, who had been squinting, suddenly opened his eyes wide, revealing an incredulous expression on his wrinkled face.

Apart from Miki, who remained relatively calm, everyone was stunned by the appearance of the four-leaf clover spellbook.

It's important to understand that the Magic Tower at this moment wasn't just filled with these 15-year-old boys who were being granted magic books; people from various surrounding villages had also come to watch the ceremony. The priest, Sister Lily, and others were also watching the ceremony from a corner of the magic tower.

As a priest who had watched Yuno grow up, he knew that Yuno was extremely talented, but the appearance of the four-leaf clover grimoire still made the priest's jaw drop.

"A four-leaf clover? That's the legendary grimoire that the first Magic Emperor was once granted, containing immense power and representing 'luck'..."

Sister Lily covered her mouth and gasped.

The dazzling light emanating from the four-leaf clover spellbook began to fade, and the light blue-covered spellbook fell from the sky.

Yuno raised his hand and easily grasped the grimoire, a faint smile appearing on his cold face.

"I will become the Magic Emperor."

With her chin slightly raised and eyes radiating confidence, Yuno made a declaration.

"This guy!"

"How is that possible? That's a four-leaf clover spellbook!"

"A mere commoner..."

A cacophony of noise instantly filled the entire magic tower.

Whether it was surprise or disbelief, everyone's attention was drawn to Yuno at that moment.

"Ah."

Mumu raised his hand and scratched his hair.

In such a setting, to make such a childish declaration, all I can say is that I'm completely fooled by this guy's act.

Mumu mentally complained, and then the next moment, he saw Yuno turn her head and give him a deep look.

This left Yumu somewhat bewildered.

"I'll catch up with you right away, I'm your rival! Yuno!"

Just then, Asta suddenly stood up and spoke loudly to Yuno, his eyes filled with an unyielding determination.

This sound suddenly rang out.

The entire book tower fell silent once more, followed by a series of even louder mocking shouts.

Yuno glanced down at Asta, picked up the grimoire, and walked past Asta, heading towards the outside of the magic tower.

As Yuno passed through the crowd behind her, everyone instinctively made way for her until she completely left the magic tower.

Asta stood frozen in place, his body as if stiff.

As Yuno left, the mockery and disdain shown by the people in the magic tower intensified.

Everyone was mocking Asta for overestimating his abilities.

This made Asta lower his head again after he had raised it.

"Asta, don't pay attention to the taunts of a bunch of cowards."

At that moment, a calm and gentle voice rang out.

The voice made no attempt to conceal itself, and was naturally heard by the rest of the people inside the Magic Book Tower.

Asta paused, then couldn't help but look up at Mumu, who had already walked up to him.

"What are you saying!"

"Looking for a beating, huh!"

"Who's the coward? Explain yourself!"

"Hey, my fist was just getting itchy!"

Dissatisfaction and flushed faces immediately erupted, and all those who had been mocking Asta turned to look at Yuki, their eyes filled with anger.

Everyone present was a 15-year-old kid who had just obtained a magic book and was in high spirits. However, Yuno's words had dampened their spirits, so they naturally wanted to vent their frustration.

Asta, who has yet to obtain the grimoire, is clearly acquainted with Yuno, making him the target of their venting.

Obviously.

Miki's words just now offended everyone present.

“Mountain sapling…”

Asta forced a smile, looking at Yumu with some concern.

"Someone who doesn't even have a grimoire dares to challenge a mage who possesses a four-leaf clover grimoire, and what about you?"

"Using mockery to mask your fear—compared to Asta, what are you if not cowards?"

Ignoring the hostile stares around him, Mumu spoke in the same sarcastic manner.

This sarcastic remark was like water dripping into a hot oil pan, causing it to boil slightly.

Some people in the crowd even pulled out the magic books they had just acquired, wanting to fight with Yumu.
