After leaving the village, Edward activated his Grimoire.
Erudite Magic: Space Gate.
A black gate appeared in front of him, and he teleported away after entering. He did not instantly arrive at the Common Realm. To do that, he would have to visit there already or have a map of its location.
Unfortunately, none of these two were possible for Edward. The Common Realm was too far from Bluige village, and he needed to train.
Secondly, a map of the entire kingdom was precious; from what he heard, only a few nobles may have one.
Edward teleported to the farthest he traveled from Bluige Village before a tornado appeared on his feet and flew to his destination. And his speed reached the hyper-sonic ranges.
So, he had to fly very high in the sky with an invisible spell to prevent anyone from detecting him. So, in just an hour, he landed outside of Kikka Town, where the exam took place.
As he looked at it from a distance, Edward was memorized by its beauty, and then, he muttered: "Why do I feel I've seen more beautiful sights than this?"
He lived his entire life in the village, so there was no way for that to be possible. However, he did not focus too much on this feeling; this was not the first time he had some weird thoughts or feelings.
Edward walked around to enjoy himself. Since he arrived early, the exam was still three days around, so he decided to enjoy the short break.
'The town's beauties are higher quality than the village.'
In the past three months, many changes occurred that shook the village. One of which was the new side of Edward that the villagers discovered: he was a flirt and a very good one too.
He somehow acquired the heart of some of the most beautiful girls in the village in a short time and even experienced his right of passage of man–numerous times.
While walking in the city, Edward secretly used a memory reading spell to check all the people around him in a 10 meters diameter zone. He did not read all their memories.
To do this, he would have to activate his Grimoire, and it was very suspicious that someone walking with their Grimoire started in such a crowded place. It might be okay if he was a magic knight or noble, but not for a commoner.
His purpose was to read what kind of magic these people had and see if he could find some unique ones. Unfortunately, most people only had spells related to the four attributes of fire, wind, earth, and water.
And his Grimoire contained most spells in these areas, and even if it did not, he could easily recreate them.
'It seems that I may have to find a place that sells information. Before that, let's find something to eat and a place to sleep.'
And that's exactly what he did. He tasted all the food he came in contact with–no matter how weird they were. Experiencing new things gave him a sense of adventure.
As for where the money came from? Well, he was filthy rich.
Edward knew that money would be essential to living a good life, so he tried to create a spell to convert rocks into gold. Unfortunately, as he was about to succeed, something seemed to have gone wrong.
His intuition told him that something intervened and prevented him from succeeding. Although puzzled, he could not do anything about it. So, he wanted to find another method to make a large sum of money in a short time.
That same day, while lost in thought, he discovered a dungeon. After clearing all the traps and killing all the guardian beasts and golems, he finds a room full of treasure.
So, he was now filthy rich.
That night, after paying for a room in an inn, Edward put on a hood to cover his face before heading to some hidden alley. In the morning, he learned from someone's memory about the Black Market.
Once there, he immediately bought information about famous and powerful wizards. During the time of the Entrance Exam, this kind of information is prevalent.
However, Edward did not focus too much on whose famous noble son would participate in this year's exam. Anyway, if they were the same age as him, he did not think they could defeat him.
His focus was on the Captains. Their magic was bound to be extraordinary. As he read the information, Edward pondered how to infiltrate their residence and peak at their Grimoires secretly.
'These captains should be very sensitive to mana. So, I should find a way to hide mine.'
After pondering for a moment, he closed his eyes and concentrated on the mana inside his body. Following his instinct, the mana inside his body seemed to disappear; it was as if he was a person born with no mana.
'Well, I'm truly a genius that this world has never seen. Since I'm so great, I should have a way to sense mana to detect enemies.'
Then, Edward once again closed his eyes to follow his instinct. A few seconds later, he could see outlines of human bodies walking around him. Well, some of them resembled animals with four legs or more.
And all these figures had one thing in common: a blue light in the middle of their bodies.
'Is this mana? Let's see how far my range goes.'
Edward began to spread his senses, and he covered the entire Common Realm in just a few seconds. He could sense all the people across all different towns.
Furthermore, he had a feeling that this was not his limit. Maybe, he could cover the entire Clover Kingdom, and that thought scared him, so he did not dare try.
'Being too talented is scary. Alright, let's focus on these individuals.'
He reduced his senses to the town of Kikka and focused on a few individuals whose blue lights were extremely bright compared to others.
'Based on the information, these people should be the Captains. Well, that was a waste of money.'
Although he complained, he knew that the bought information was more important since it contained more detailed information about these captains.
'Although I should have no problem sneaking into their residence, it would be best to be extra prudent.'
So, he went to buy a bunch of other magical herbs and mixed them into a potion. As for how he knew how to make potions?
He was worried about magical beasts attacking the village once he left. So, he thought of concocting some potions that emitted a weird odor that kept them away before spreading it around the village.
So, he went to the forest and tasted all the herbs he had discovered. Then, after a few trials and errors, he knew which to mix to create potions with different effects.
This time, he made sleeping potions before sneaking into the first captain's residence. Based on the information he gathered, he knew that this person was the captain of the Grey Deer Squad.
Edward calculated the dose of the potion based on the captain's magic power before pouring a vial into the room. Then, he observed how the mana of that captain changed to a more calm and peaceful state.
'So, I can predict the state of people based on their mana? This method could be applied to battle to read the opponent's attack.'
After detecting that the captain was asleep, Edward placed an invisible spell and a Sound Removal Spell on him before sneaking inside. Most wizards slept with their Grimoires next to them, so he soon discovered his target.
'Well, this should be a lesson to me.'
Edward decided to place many warning and defensive spells on his Grimoire in case someone tried to steal or destroy it. If it were up to him, he would put it in the small dimension he created using Space Magic to place all his golds and other items.
Unfortunately, if he did that, he would not be able to reopen a breach to that small dimension to retrieve his Grimoire. Without it, he could only open a portal small enough for a tiny rock to pass through, so his arm could not reach inside.
'I swear, Grimoires are both a curse and a blessing.'
Edward did not like that he could not use powerful magic without his Grimoire. He always felt that this was a limitation that should not be.
Realizing that he was distracted in the middle of a heist, he shook his head to regain focus. He opened the Captain's Grimoires to read it.
And as usual, many news spells appeared in his Grimoire, and he could feel that they were the optimized version of the Grey Deer Captain's magic. Then, he visited the residence of the other eight captains to do the same. He even added a few critical participants that he was interested in.
The next day, all these people discovered they had the best sleep of their lives. Even the ones that had anxiety or insomnia regarding the upcoming exam.
________
First, I really enjoyed reading comments about people who guessed the content of this chapter base on the title. I'm glad so many of you know Edward as much as I do.
Second, a few people commented that they do not understand the Main God or Lord God Space previously mentioned. I forgot to address this, so I will now. This concept was introduced in novels like Terror Infinity or Reincarnation Paradies.
The term Lord God Space or Main God Space is more often used in machine translation, so you might not hear of them.

For the next two days, Edward enjoyed himself to the fullest while also reviewing the new spells he got. At some point, he wanted to sneak into the Noble Realm; unfortunately, there was a barrier that prevented direct teleportation there, and he did not want to fly and back.
Then, it was time for the Magic Knight Entrance Exam. All the participants arrived at the Colleseum and waited. A few minutes later, nine people came and sat on seats with a flag above their heads, displaying their squad's name and symbol.
Edward looked at all the captains deeply, focusing on a beautiful woman with silver hair.
'She should be Acier Silva, the Silver Eagle Captain. How beautiful. I should introduce myself when I have the chance.'
He then looked around to see some birds floating above some people. However, none were close to him, along with a few others. Because of this, many people, including the captains, began to pay attention to him.
After looking around, Edward analyzed the situation.
'These birds will attach to people with low mana, so they avoid me. However, as a commoner, it is rare to display a level of mana compared to noble children. So, people will pay more attention to me.'
After fighting things out, he no longer cared. He was slowly adapting to the fact that he was an anomaly, and he will probably discover more facts to prove that fact.
After everybody calmed down and realized the purpose of the birds, one of the captains dressed in red stood up. A green sphere floated next to his mouth before he spoke, his voice echoing throughout the entire arena.
"My name is Deleon Vermilion, the head examiner for this exam. We will now officially begin the exam.'
His loud voice scared away the anti-birds and flew away from the contestants. Then, many other wizards came from the side entrance of the stadium to hand over brooms to all the contestants.
Edward looked at the broom for a moment and jumped on it; he instilled the perfect amount of mana for it to fly.
'Is this a magical item? I wonder how it's made.'
He caught people's attention because of how quickly he could control the broom. Edward did not know, but his reputation had already reached the Capital since he had a 4-Leaf Grimoire.
So, many people paid attention to him. Meanwhile, he focused entirely on analyzing the broom.
'It seems that the broom has wind property, so, with a little mana, it can allow wizards to fly. With the right material, I could easily make many of these brooms.'
Regarding the following four tests, Edward also passed with flying colors.
The first test involved using mana to destroy a wall. A Mana Bullet blew up the wall with a flick of his finger.
The first one involved using mana to hit targets. This was a test of mana control. He passed with ease. Afterward, it was the magic creation test, which involved creating something with magic.
Using flame magic, Edward recreated the colosseum with all the participants and the captains, again showing his ability. Many people praised him, while a few looked at him with disgust.
The test was to instill mana into a seed to allow it to grow. Edward instantly created a tree more than 20 meters tall, while the second-best in his group was only 5 meters tall. And that was not even his limit.
The final test involved a battle where participants could choose their target. Edward looked at all the participants focusing on the person who performed second only to him.
'Julius Novachrono, a Time Magic User. I've never wanted a magic so bad.'
This 15-year-old young man was among his target for infiltration. However, when he approached him, he suddenly felt a potent warning telling him to stay away at all costs. Although puzzled, he decided to follow his feeling and did not sneak in.
When it comes to Time-Magic, he is somewhat helpless. He tried to acquire it during his six months of training. However, when he almost succeeded, something also went wrong, as it did when he tried to create Matter Transmutation Magic.
As such, he theorized that certain magic requires him to either spent a lot of time acquiring it, or he must find other people who have it and read their Grimoires.
While Edward was lost in thought, an arrogant-looking youth walked to him and yelled:
"You, the lucky peasant with the 4 Leaf-Clover. I challenge you. In the name of the Lunette Family, I will show you the difference between nobles and peasants."
Edward looked at him, "Fine, show me what you can do."
He flew to the fighting arena to begin the battle. The two had their Grimoires floating in front of them. And when Captain Deleon announced the commencement of the fight, Fere Lunette attacked first.
"Iron Creation Magic: Heavenly Blade Downpour," he roared. Countless shining swords appeared in the sky, shocking the audience with the sheer number. Then, they rushed toward Edward.
"Erudite Magic: Thunder-Fire Bomb"
A red ball the size of a basketball appeared on his palm with blue lightning flashing around it.
'Magic Union Spell,' thought all the captains who watched this battle. They knew that the owner of the 4-Leaf Clover Grimoire could use all the attributes, but it was a different thing if he could combine them.
The ball of flame and lightning exploded, annihilating all the swords coming toward him. The blast also sent his opponent flying away, thus easily winning this battle. As for his Fere, he was fine besides a few bruises.
Then, all the other participants chose their opponents to battle. Once this process finished, it was time for the selection. All the participants stood forward, and if one of the captains wanted them for their squads, they would raise their hands.
Some of them had more than one captain wanting them in their squad, so they got to choose. Finally, it was Edward's time.
Oddly though, once he stepped up, no one raised their hands. No captains wanted him in their squad.
With a frown, he looked at all the chosen people and understood what was going on.
'Not a single commoner has ever become a Magic Knight. Now, with me having the 4-Leaf Grimoire and overwhelming most of my peers, these nobles do not want me to become a Magic Knight.'
He looked at the captains and discovered that only Acier Silva seemed to want to raise her hand based on body language. However, she seemed to be hesitating about something.
'I'm sorry, young wizard. I have been under a lot of pressure from the nobility because of how young I became a captain. If I were not a royal, I probably would not never have had this position.
'Wait a few years, and I will invite you into my squad,' thought Acier.
After seeing no one wanted him for their squad, Edward frowned for a moment before pointing at one of the captains.
"You, Matty Tarte, the weakest Captain, do you dare accept my challenge?"
"What did you say?" said the captain of the Purple Pistol Shrimp Squad.
"I think you heard me. You have the smallest amount of mana among the captains. The second weakest has 1.8 times your mana. So, I'm not wrong for calling you the weakest."
"Peasant, know your place!" said Matty as he stood up.
"Here's the deal. If I win, I want your spot as captain. Of course, if you're scared, you can decline my challenge."
"Good, If you want to die so quickly, I'll be glad to help you."
"Matty, it's obvious that he is baiting you," said one of the Captain. His words made Matty stop, but Edward would not let things go so quickly.
"Don't listen to the second weakest," he added. "I can tell you that he secretly looks down on you."
Veins appeared on Matty's forehead before he flew from the balcony and landed on the stage.
"Brat, I will not show you any mercy."
"Whatever," replied Edward before activating his Grimoire.
Erudite Magic: Soul Binding Contract.
A scroll appeared in the middle of the two.
"I don't you trust you, nobles, to keep your words. So, here is a magical contract with the conditions of our battle. Sign it first, and we can begin."
Matty read the scroll's content before using his mana to write his name. The scroll then rolled up before turning into two pieces of light: one entered Edward's body while the other entered his.
Then, they prepared for the battle.
All the commoners who realized the reason that Edward was rejected were excited. Meanwhile, noble captains were worried while also marveling at how versatile this Erudite Magic was.

For the people asking, he gets his memories in two chapters, but he is still nerfed.
