It was a lonely and cold night on the village of Hage. Father Orsi had just finished making sure the rest of the children living in the church went to sleep when suddenly,there was a knock on the door. Father Orsi was surprised at this since it was a little late for someone to be visiting the church at night for a prayer or blessing. He decided to see who it was and opened the door, but he was caught by surprise when he saw a baby on the doorstep. The child had (H/C) hair, and (E/C) eyes, however, what Father Orsi noticed straight away was his incredibly dense mana. He was astonished at how an infant like him could possess such inmense magical power. He immediately began to question if he was a noble, or a royal, but yet again, if he was, why would anyone abandon him in a village like Hage? He decided to take the child inside and had a look at him, Orsi noticed there was a nametag on the baby's shoulder.

Father Orsi: "Don't worry little one, you are safe here. Now let's see, what is your name?"

Father took a look at the name tag on the child and smiled briefly before looking back at the infant.

Father Orsi: "(Y/N) huh, welcome to your new home." 

2 years later....

There was a knock on the front door of the church, it was a cold and foggy morning, Orsi initially debated in his mind whether to answer the door but decided to take a look anyway as it might be important. However, when he approached the door, he could hear the crying of two babies.

Father Orsi: "Again?" He asked confused, remembering the same happening 2 years ago with (Y/N).

Father took the two babies inside and lit the fire for them to get warm. Most of the kids were still asleep so he had time to take a good look at the two.

Father Orsi: "Are they brothers? Or perhaps they are twins?"

Father Orsi then took a closer look at them and he noticed that they weren't brothers at all, one was very calm while the other was very energetic, not to mention they didn't share any similarities at all.

Father Orsi: "No.... they are not." He concluded.

Father then saw at the two nametags on their shoulders, this situation reminded him on the way he found (Y/N), although there was no possibility of them coming from the same place since (Y/N) was dropped off two years prior.

Father Orsi: "Hmmmm.... Yuno and.... Asta eh? You kids don't worry, this is your new home." Father smiled before taking them out of their baskets and placing them into a more comfortable place. He had a lot of explaining to do later....


*TIME SKIP 15 YEARS LATER*

(Y/N) POV

I was walking around the village, talking to some of my friends, and helping some folks around town, mainly assisting them with errands. Ever since I was a kid, I was known for being "kind-hearted", I would always help around those in need when I could, and in no time, I grew to be popular in the entire village. Not to mention, when I was around ten years old, I began to develop my magic attribute, which turned out to be none other than plasma magic, a legendary attribute that is said to be extremely rare. When the church learned about this, they were very proud of me, they said that I was destined for greatness. However, something that I never told them, was that I developed a second attribute, that being.....time magic. It is hard to explain, but even though I wanted to tell the rest, something told me that I had to keep it hidden.

My power increased drastically after I received my grimoire 2 years ago. As soon as I left the grimoire tower that day, I immediately began to train with my attribute to become stronger, both physically and magically. Back to the present, today Asta and Yuno receive their grimoires. I didn't want to miss it, so I began to head towards home. As I was reaching the church, I heard a very familiar voice in the distance....

(Y/N): "Looks like He's doing it again." I mumbled to myself as I facepalmed.

Asta: "SISTER LILY!!!" His loud voice echoed throughout the valley.

Asta was proposing to Sister Lily once again, even though she had repeatedly rejected him over and over again, he seemed not to give up no matter how many times he failed.

Asta: "I will become the wizard king someday! And make you happy!! So please marry me!!" He shouted as he kneeled in front of Lily with a bunch of flowers.

Sister Lily: "I-I'm sorry Asta, but I can't do that!" She said nervously.

Asta: "I will not give up, not yet!!"

I couldn't help but laugh at Asta making a fool of himself. He would propose to Sister Lily every single day, without giving up even though she would occasionally reject him. I didn't even understand why would he want to marry her, sure she was beautiful, but she was a sister of the cloth, so Asta basically had zero chance of marrying her.

(Y/N):(Hmmm, I should go there and talk some sense into Asta.)

As these words got out of my mind, Yuno approached Asta, and surprise...he did exactly what I was going to do.

(Y/N): "Huh, looks like Yuno read my mind.... Oh well, guess I'll go say hello anyway".

As I was getting closer to the Church, Nash and Recca noticed me arriving and almost immediately approached me.

Recca: "Big bro (Y/N)!"

Nash: "What took you so long slowpoke, I thought you were only going out for a short 10 min walk."

(Y/N): "Did I say that? You must have heard me wrong. Better get your ears checked flame boy."

Nash: "Whatever." He stated while rolling his eyes.

(Y/N): "Anyway, how long until Asta and Yuno's grimoire ceremony?"

Recca: I'm glad at least you did not forget it was today." She giggled.

"Its happening in about 2 hours. Come, let's go get ready."

2 HOURS LATER

(Y/N) POV, Grimoire Tower

We started to enter the grimoire tower where Asta and Yuno would finally receive their own grimoire. As they were waiting for the ceremony to begin, I could hear some spoiled brats talking about how they will become great mages, and at the same time, talking lowly about my foster brothers.I simply couldn't stand people like that, I think social status does not define who you are, but this kingdom's society has defined us as trash because of our magic level. Frankly, I think that is all a load of bulls-

Tower Master: "Welcome young men and women!" The tower master started.

My inner monologue was interrupted by the sudden voice of the tower's master initating the grimoire ceremony.

Tower master: "Today, you will all begin a new journey as new people, I wish you all faith, hope and love in your daily lives."

(Y/N): "God I forgot how boring this part actually was." I mumbled to myself.

Sister Lily: *whispers*Shhh! Show some respect (Y/N)!"

(Y/N): *sighs* "Whatever."

After the brief speech, everyone was starting to receive their grimoire, I could hear the happiness and excitement in their voices, with some even competing to see who had the best grimoire.

Guy 1: "Wow! My grimoire is bigger!"

Guy 2: "Yeah but mine is thicker!"

Everyone started to compare their own grimoires, until the following happened:

Asta was looking at the sky with his arms extended, waiting for his grimoire to come down to him, but that never happened no matter how much he waited.

Asta: "Ummmmm....my grimoire's not coming down!"

Everyone started laughing at him.

Random person 1: "That's pretty amazing!"

Random person 2: "I can't believe it."

Spoiled brat 1: If we competed to see who was most pathetic, we'd be no match for that guy haha!"

I was actually shocked, I could only feel pity for Asta, he is the one that desired to be able to use magic the most... but then....something actually surprised me for once. A bright light suddenly shined above Yuno. After a while, his grimoire came down, he actually received a four-leaf grimoire.

The three leaves in the green clover represent: Faith, hope and love. A fourth leaf, represents good luck.

A four-leaf clover is actually pretty rare, meaning if you get it, you will probably receive immense power and good luck in your future.

(Y/N): (Well I'll be damned....)

After the ceremony ended, Asta went ahead of everyone and dissapeared, said he wanted to do something. After everyone else made it back to the church, Yuno and I were walking away from the grimoire tower when suddenly.....

Various chains started to surround and restrain the two teens, despite their best efforts, their movement along with their magic were confined. A perturbing laugh could be heard from in front of them as steps were moving in closer.

Revchi: "Don't bother fighting it, this spell restricts the magic and movement of those it captures." The man said with a grin.

Yuno: "Who the heck are you?"

Revchi: "Until recently, I was one of the magic knights, but I was expelled for some dumb reasons, now I'm just a wretched ol' thief. I'll be taking your grimoire now kid." The man laughed.

(Y/N): "Why would you want his grimoire? If its power you want....it won't work." The other teen tried to explain.

Revchi: "True, only those chosen by the grimoire are the ones who can use it....however, an underworld collector will surely pay a fortune to get his hands in a four-leaf grimoire!

(Y/N): "Tch, like we'll let you do that."

The thief then turned his attention towards me and grinned after analyzing my face.

Revchi: "Hmmm, I've heard about you, you are that famous kid that apparently was born with that extremely rare attribute right?" He smirked.

(Y/N): "What's your point?"

Revchi: "I know many people who would pay to have a servant with an attribute as rare as yours!" He said in a sinister tone.

The man began to laugh hysterically before someone rolled in, literally rolled in and crashed against the wall. The three of the mages looked at the wall dumbfounded before a familiar kid with ash blond hair walked out of the crater.

Asta: "Hey! What do you think you're doing you thief! A grimoire is a precious thing that belongs to its reciever! Give it back to Yuno now!" He demanded.

Revchi: "Hmmm, it seems there will be a death today after all." The man said before opening his grimoire.

(Y/N): "You bastard!" He tried to break from his chains to no avail.

Yuno: "Asta! Run away!"

Asta: "Like hell I'm gonna run away from this disgrace!" He exclaimed before running towards the mage with intention to take him down.

Revchi: "Foolish, I may be a lowly thief, but I was once a magic knight, you are no match for me!" He said as he launched forward various chains at Asta.

Asta tried his best to avoid the incoming chain attacks, even being able to dodge some of them, however he was eventually overwhelmed before getting hit by a heavy blow by the chains, sending him crashing against a wall.

(Y/N): "ASTA!" I desperately tried breaking away from the chains once more to no avail again.

The man walked closer to a beaten Asta, he began making fun of him before pushing him around, I could see as Asta was beggining to lose hope, the man created a chain in intent to kill Asta once and for all. I was beyond angry at this point, I clenched my fist in anger as sparks of energy began to emanate from my hand before Yuno spoke up.

Yuno: "Hey! Who do you think you're talking to? Asta is no loser, he is......"

---------------------------------------------------

Yuno remembered back a few years ago when the three were still barely kids, Yuno had finished an errand Father had given him, however, just when he was returning from the town, a drunk man ambushed him in hopes of stealing his necklace. Just before he was able to beat Yuno, Asta charged in at full speed and tackled the man. Despite his best efforts, the man was able to overpower him but not before Asta was able to deal his own bit of damage as well.

Man: "Damn brat! I'll show you what happens when you mess with me!" He said as a ball of fire was created from his palm.

???: "Hey, what do you think you're doing!"

The three turned around to the msyterious voice only to see an angry eight year old (Y/N) staring down at the man.

Man: "Another kid? Man you little nuisances never give up huh?!" The man said irritated before sending a fire spell at the kid in front of him.

(Y/N) in turn used his own magic and was barely able to counter his opponent's magic. The man widened his eyes in surprise and just as he was about to launch another attack, Asta and Yuno tackled him to the ground, giving (Y/N) the opportunity to strike. He used all of his magic available to cast forward an attack. The energy (Y/N) emitted was able to slightly burn the man's face, resulting in him running away.

(Y/N): "You two sure love getting into trouble huh?" The kid laughed.

Asta and Yuno smiled before standing up and walking towards him. A hug was shared between the three before they talked about what happened. After explaining everything, Asta did something that left his two brothers in awe.

Asta: "Even if we are orphans....I'll prove to everyone that people like us can become amazing! And that's why.....I'll become the wizard king!" He proudly declared.

(Y/N): "If you will become wizard king.....then....I'll become wizard king as well!" His brother declared as well.

Yuno: "Then I guess I will too!"

Asta: *smiles* "You two....seriously...well then I guess.....let's see who becomes wizard king first!" The young child said before the three shared a fist bump.

------------------------------------------------

Yuno: "He is............our rival!" Yuno said proudly.

Asta widened his eyes while (Y/N) just looked at Yuno in surprise. Asta then with eyes full of dtermination, began to stand up and faced the chain magic user. However, what happened next....surprised the three of us. A grimoire manifested right in front of Asta, a menacing red glow covering it completely. A giant big black...sword came out of the grimoire into Asta's hand. He grabbed it before using it as support and fully standing up.

(Y/N): (Asta.....)

The three leaves in the green clover each represent: Faith, hope and love. Within A fourth leaf.....dwells good luck. But Within the fifth leaf.....resides a devil......

Revchi: "W-What........what the hell is that?! It can't be, you don't have any magical powers! What's with that grimoire?!" The man asked before sending forward various chains.

Asta grabbed his sword and used it against the incoming chain magic. Because Asta doesen't have any magical powers....he was able to wield it....the grimoire of anti-magic. As Asta sliced the incoming attack, the chains were all nullified, shocking the three of us. Using the opporunity, Asta striked the man's chest, sending him against the wall and taking him out.The chains around Yuno and (Y/N) began to dissapear after Asta's attack. The both of them walked closer to Asta who was happily analyzing his grimoire. However, As Yuno and Asta were discussing the recent events, a beaten up and barely conscious Revchi sneaked up behind them and launched a final all out attack.

The chains were so fast that neither Asta nor Yuno would have been able to react in time. However, just as they turned around, their eyes grew wide after seeing what had happened. All of the chain attacks......were trapped inside blue spheres of time.

Revchi: "Th-That magic! W-Who-!"

The three mages turned around and saw (Y/N) with his arms extended and his grimoire floating beside him, however, Yuno and Asta noticed that instead of the Golden Glow (Y/N)'s grimoire usually had, this time it was glowing in a bright platinum color. After the spell of chains was erased from existence, (Y/N) send forward a plasma attack at a shocked Revchi, knocking him out for good.

(Y/N) closed his grimoire and walked closer to Asta and Yuno, who were still surprised by the current display of magic (Y/N) had shown. (Y/N) just sighed before smiling at them.

(Y/N): "I'll explain everything later." He simply said.

Yuno: *smiles* "Asta, (Y/N). You guys remember our promise?"

(Y/N): *smirks* "Of course, how could I forget?"

Asta: "I thought you guys had forgotten....." He smiled.

The promise they had all made as kids that day lingered in their mind, the three smiled happily before fist bumping, a simple phrase leaving their mouths collectively as the sun began to set in the horizon.

Asta/Yuno/(Y/N): "Let's see who.....becomes the wizard king!"

*TIME SKIP*

The three mages returned late to the church that day. Asta barged in pretty excited, showing everyone his new grimoire. After taking a closer look at it, that grimoire was something (Y/N) had never seen before, it was all dirty and barely recognizable but still, it was a grimoire nonetheless. After having dinner the three of them went outside and that was when (Y/N) told them everything about his time attribute. At first they were stunned by this revelation, they still couldn't believe their brother had a second attribute, and a very strange one to top it all off. Regardless, he implored them to not tell anyone, not even the rest of the church. They understood his reasoning and assured him that they would not tell a single soul without his permission. The three nodded and went back to the church to rest. The next day, the three brothers had a new goal, attend the magic knights entrance exam and make it into the magic knights.

And so, we trained for the following six months, Asta would train his stamina and strength while using his sword, he would constantly beat various rocks to test his grip and swordsman skills. Meanwhile, Yuno would train his magical power and abilities by using it to perform various tasks, this would normally be chopping wood with his wind magic. As for me...My training would be harsher than both of them. I would climb the giant demon's skull while shooting at different targets simultaneously, perform various physical exercises and improve my reaction time by performing various obstacle runs.

( A/N: I couldn't think of ways to practice with the time magic, time itself is complicated anyways, so cut me some slack...)

*SIX MONTHS LATER*

We finally got our things ready and decided to head out to the capital of the clover kingdom. We said our goodbyes to our family in the church, and quickly left, there was quite a trip ahead of us. We were excited because today was the day that we would hopefully start a new journey, as magic knights.
