Following them from behind, he went near the countless vendors that were targeting the people flooding out of the Grimoire tower and brought a mask
"How foolish of me." He mentally facepalmed himself
He told Sister lily what magic he uses, which complicates everything
"ill just apologise for "Lying" and tell her that I have transformation magic." He said, before saying "When the magical exam happens in the capital, I need to come up with a solid excuse of having multiple types of magic."
Transformation and copy magic is the main thing that he needs to use to create a good excuse but even then he's not sure if he can lie to the most powerful people in the clover kingdom
putting on the Celebrational fox mask
(Anbu shit you get me) - author
he sensed the tracking magic and moved towards the target
finding a standpoint on a tower out of visions sight, he knocked his bow and slowly and silently chanted
"[Zephyr arrow.]" A streamlined arrow appeared on the nock of the bow, targeted towards the hidden man
he slowed down his breathing and raised his elbow above his shoulder as he was about to take a shot

the man disappeared before he could take the shot, leading Zalak to move closer to the man's former position, and look at what was going on
2 boy's, both with their Grimoires out, signifying that they attack Yuno, who was pinned to the wall Via chaines
he drew his bow once more, ready to shoot when a loud and annoying boy suddenly ran into a wall in front of him
"Asta," Zalak muttered, watching as the boy was humiliated by the chains of the man
"A boy like you with no magic will be a lot on the black market." The man gave a grin "You should let me do it, you should thank me for it! after all, you're not going to be able to find a job, never mind become the magicking."
Seeing a familiar red Aura near Asta, the Grimoire near his body started to shake, signalling to escape
An Arrow is all he needs
Knocking the bow up to the bowstring, he Applied all the magical power to the Magically receptive Arrow and muttered
"I hate people like you." Zalak coldly muttered
An arrow flew down from the air, its speed faster than the naked eye could see
Feeling an imminent threat behind him, the Magic knight suddenly tried to use his Chains to block the incoming arrow, but the Arrow easily pierced through the head of the magic knight
Feeling the arrow kill the target, Zalak clenched his fist, causing the Arrow to implode and leave no trace
although wind magic is Yuno's forte, he shouldn't be able to know its wind magic due to lack of magical power due to the Chains sealing it and the near Collapse state
a Small red book was near Asta, causing Zalak to quickly run away via the Agility bonus of Wind magic
after running successfully away, he blended in with the crowd and clicked his tongue
"I couldn't get his Grimoire, what a shame."
after a 24 minute walk, he arrived back at his cabin and collapsed, thinking about the tiring event of today
"I have to set out tomorrow for the Captial"
Although being lazy is not in his nature, having to go a long distance that is a one month trip sounds boring to him
But first, something more interesting than the trip to the capital is the paper magic he received
Grimoires normally had 1 or 2 spells when they are bonded to their master, but this time he has 2
"You resemble your father quite a bit." A voice resounded, coming from the book once more
"My father?" Zakai asked, looking at the book "How can you talk"
"Every time you offer a grimoire for me, I can absorb the magical energy and wake up for about 10 seconds." The grimoire said "TImes up, bye-bye." the voice teased before falling silent again
"Bastard. "
Paper magic (Author note , this was heavily inspired by Konan's paper Justu, so any weebs fantasy regarding those are
going to come true ;) )
Wings of the Demonic Angel - Sprout paper wings that let the user fly. the duration of flight depends on mana input
The Blades of the Demon - Able to create Paper that can be modified to the user of the spells need. sharpness can be determined with how much mana is put into the spell
"Flight!" although magic brooms exist, their way weaker than actual flight magic, with flight magic being god knows how much better than a magic broom
"[Wings of the Demonic Angel.]" Paper wings sprouted out, and he felt like he could control every piece of paper that made up his wings
controlling a single piece of paper and putting in as much mana as he could, he watched as the Peice was extremely sharp as he turned it into a shuriken
going into the forest and throwing it, he watched as it cut down 3 large trees before stopping
although he put a lot of mana into it, it was a singular piece of paper anymore
flying with it, he checked the speed of flight with it
"40 mph max speed."
not bad, since the limit for a broom is 15 mph. this should make the flight to the Captial a lot easier
The Clover Kingdom is border by the 3 kingdoms, Heart kingdom, diamond kingdom and spade kingdom border the clover kingdom
Clover kingdoms are ranked by the 3 "Realms" that span from poorest to richest. the list is as follows. the Forsaken realm, the realm he lives in, the Common realm, where the commoners live and then finally the Noble realm, which is situated outside of the Grand capital of the kindgom.
3 Main houses rule the Clover Kingdom, being The Vermillon, the Silva and Kira family, Kira family are the royal family, but they're nothing compared to the magicking, Julius Novachrono, a wielder of time magic
the only reason Kira is in power is due to the fact their descendants of the first magic king even though there subjectively weak and arrogant
after thinking about his gameplan, he decided to go to the Captial with the money he had and buy a new bow, his old one worn down and becoming to snap due to the pressure of the magic getting stronger
he had 504,000 yul saved up from countless hunting sessions over the 9 years, which should be able to get him a bow countless times better than the one he got
and as such , he fell asleep
-----------------------------------------
Waking up to hear a knock on the door, he saw the Steward and the former fat noble at his door.
"Good morning," Zalak said, looking towards both of them
"Good morning." The steward bowed. the old man decided to stay with the noble even after he was kicked out. how respectable
"What can I do for you this morning?" Zalak said, his eyes scanning both of them
"A gift." The steward said, handing over a bow "we heard that you're going to the royal capital to Magic knight ceremony and we are here to give you a gift." He handed a wrapped object to me "You see, when the young master was kicked out, his mother let pick something out of the treasury, of which he chose a bow." He said, watching as Zalak slowly unwrapped it, revealing a sleek longbow "Young master enchanted it with his engraving Magic and it can amplify magic."
"Why are you giving this to me?"
The former noble slowly said, "Think of it as an apology for nearly slapping you that day." He said, "Plus you donated a boar and some rabbits during winter 3 years ago, helping us get through."
After some idle chatting and saying thanks, he got to look at his new toy, a sleek bow that was obviously made for water users, it was incredibly long. the naked eye could see the countless rows of Complex Engravements on the front and back, causing it to shine in a Myriad of different colours every minute
seeing the book in his soul act up, he said
"you can consume it if it makes at least a page of new magic. will it create new magic?"
The book shook once
"For somebody that apparently is asleep all the time, your shaking doesn't sound like your sleeping."
the book was silent
summoning the book, he watched as it absorbed the Bow
the pages started to flip frantically, causing a suction to be produced by the book , swallowing it whole
looking at the now still book , he opened the book and looked at its changes
"Wow..." He said , looking at the content of the book
