The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 23 The Demon-Repelling Bird! Secore Svaroter, the First Magic Emperor's Servant!
"You are number 162."

"You are number 163."

Outside the massive arena, staff members reached out to mark the spellbooks of the participating mages who were about to enter the arena.

The three of them lined up, and soon it was Yuno's turn to walk at the front.

“I am Yuno from Haji Village.”

Yuno calmly stepped forward and placed the grimoire in front of the staff member.

"Haji...wait! A four-leaf clover spellbook!"

The staff didn't pay much attention at first, but when they saw the four leaves on the magic book, their voices changed slightly as they exclaimed in astonishment.

The already quiet atmosphere was disrupted by the sound of staff members speaking.

This immediately caused quite a stir.

"Hey, look at his magic book!"

"It's a four-leaf clover grimoire!"

"The rumors were actually true!"

"There really is a legendary four-leaf clover spellbook."

Exclamations and murmurs came from all directions.

Asta, following behind Yuno, couldn't help but show a look of joy and envy upon hearing the surrounding discussions.

Behind Asta, however, Mogi was much calmer.

Compared to the surprised discussions around him, Mumu was more concerned about what was behind the discussions. It seemed that, just as he had predicted, the appearance of the four-leaf clover grimoire had already been reported by the old mage in advance.

This matter should have already spread to some extent.

"You are number 164."

The seemingly carefree staff member immediately became much more serious, and after marking the grimoire, he did so with a respectful expression.

Anyone who isn't stupid understands what possessing a four-leaf clover grimoire represents.

Next.

Asta is number 165, and Miki is number 166.

After receiving their respective numbers, Miki began the competition.

A huge, ancient, and historically significant circular arena came into view. Apart from the stands that surrounded the arena on all sides, the entire arena consisted of a spacious central area.

All the mages who came gathered in the center of the arena.

Fluttering~ Fluttering~
Small birds with blue outer feathers and red cheek feathers flapped their wings and flew above the arena, some even boldly flying towards the crowd.

"Go away!"

What's going on with these birds?

As these birds continued to fly past the group, some even circling around them.

Since most people were unaware of the situation, and given the circumstances, they dared not use magic and could only wave their arms, trying to drive away the birds surrounding them.

"So, what's going on with these guys?!"

Asta was surrounded by a large number of small birds, with only his head barely showing.

Asta appeared to be overwhelmed by the flock of birds.

Both Yuki and Yuno naturally moved a few steps away from Asta.

"It must be related to magic."

With an amused expression, Yuki pointed to Yuno, who was now devoid of birds, and teased Asta.

"Chirp."

Three little birds circled above the top of the log, chirping every now and then.

Miki glanced around and realized that his magical power was above average compared to the others. These birds flying in the arena weren't ordinary birds; they were magic-repelling birds that could sense magical power levels. The lower one's magical power, the more likely they were to be entangled by these birds.

Everyone in the arena, except for Yuno, was accompanied by a demon-repelling bird. Naturally, Yuno once again attracted everyone's attention.

The identity of the owner of the four-leaf clover spellbook spread even faster within the arena.

Yuki also kept a few steps away from Yuno. There were a lot of eyes on Yuno's side, and he didn't want to be the center of attention before the exam.

Yuno noticed Yumu's little action immediately, glanced at Yumu, and looked somewhat helpless.

correct!

Mogi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his gaze fell on Asta, who was surrounded by a large number of demon-repelling birds, or more precisely, on the top of Asta's head.

There was a demon-repelling bird perched on Asta's head.

Among the many demon-repelling birds, this one was not particularly eye-catching, but upon closer inspection, one could still discern that it was slightly different from the demon-repelling birds around it.

This demon-repelling bird is not a real bird, but a maidservant girl from 500 years ago, the first Magic Emperor. Her real name was Secore Svaroter, a noblewoman, but because magic was considered useless, she was appointed as a maidservant of the first Magic Emperor, the prince of the Clover Kingdom.

Five hundred years ago, during the extermination of the elves, due to the backlash from demons and forbidden magic, it was transformed into a small bird resembling a demon-repelling bird.

The five-leaf clover grimoire in Asta's possession was actually secretly guarded by Secore. This was related to the Word Demon that was sealed away 500 years ago. However, due to special circumstances, Asta accidentally awakened the grimoire and obtained it.

Therefore, Secore has been secretly following Asta, intending to use him to collect the magic stone that once sealed the Word Demon.

While in Haji Village, Miki noticed the presence of this little bird.

However, Miki didn't care much.

The current Secore is unable to use any power at all; it is essentially no different from an ordinary bird.

The only thing that interested Miki was the other party's "sealing magic." This was a special kind of magic that could seal and unseal objects.

Simply put, it's about locking and unlocking.

Her abilities were initially very weak, which is why her family sent her to be a servant to the prince. However, after she grew up, she gained the ability to break all seals.

This magic can break any binding spell, barrier, or forbidden seal.

They even developed the ability to close wounds, seal injuries, and reattach severed limbs to the body.

While this magic isn't very effective in direct combat, it's extremely powerful when used for support.

Miki was naturally very interested in this magic, as it was one of the few spells in the entire Clover Kingdom that could affect demons.

"Don't come any closer, you stinky birds!"

Asta kept patting his body, trying to drive away the demon-repelling birds that had gathered around him. However, the demon-repelling birds not only seemed to want to leave, but actually appeared to be increasing in number.

"Damn it!"

Asta yelled and took off running.

"Bang!" A muffled sound!
In his panic, Asta bumped into a figure, and the force of the impact made him clutch his head and groan in pain.

"Haw!"

"Haw!"

"...!"

The large number of demon-repelling birds that had been surrounding Asta suddenly seemed to be frightened and scattered in all directions in a panic.

Even the demon-repelling bird that had been perched on Asta's head quickly flew away along with the other demon-repelling birds.

at the same time!

The previously noisy atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and even those who didn't know what was going on seemed to realize something.

"come yet."

Momoki's heart tightened, and his gaze fell on the muscular figure that Asta had bumped into.
