"Lily! One day I will become the Magic Emperor! I will make you happy for the rest of your life! So, please marry me!"
A short guy with spiky silver-white hair, holding a bouquet of wildflowers picked from the roadside, was proposing daily to Sister Lily of the orphanage.
"I'm sorry, Asta, I am everyone's Sister."
"I haven't given up yet!"
"I'm really sorry..."
"I won't give up!"
…Watching the familiar scene before him, the young man, lying comfortably on the lawn with a foxtail grass in his mouth, was already accustomed to it.
Whether in his previous life or this one.
"You're so annoying!"
Asta's continuous kneeling finally angered Lily.
"Water Magic, Impact of Love!"
Sister Lily took out a blue grimoire, and with an angry shout, the grimoire glowed with dazzling blue light. Several streams of water converged into a giant water ball, descending from the sky.
It drenched Asta, turning him into a wet chicken.
"I haven't given up yet!"
Asta jumped up again and lunged towards Sister Lily.
"Stop messing around!"
Before Yuno could send a water ball crashing into Asta, Adam did a carp jump, standing up directly from the ground.
Then, with a big leap, he kicked Asta, who was mid-air, straight out.
"Adam! What the hell are you doing!"
Asta, truly an unkillable cockroach, immediately got up from the ground, rushed to Adam's front, and began to roar.
He truly was the roaring emperor!
Adam leaned his head back, afraid that Asta's spit would spray on him.
"Adam, why do you always kick my face!"
Asta complained loudly.
"You have thick skin and flesh, so your face is easier to kick."
Adam answered truthfully.
"You stinky guy..."
Before Asta could finish roaring, Adam pointed backward.
Asta turned his head in confusion; the water ball Yuno had gathered in his palm hadn't been put down yet.
"Yuno! You stinky pretty boy!"
Asta rushed directly to Yuno's side and started shouting.
Adam rubbed his ears; the roaring emperor's roar was truly worthy of its name.
"Adam, if Asta could live as he pleased without magic, like you, that would be great..."
Adam's mouth twitched slightly. Was this a compliment to him?
"In that case! He wouldn't be Asta."
"You're right!"
Adam and Lily looked at everyone with a doting smile.
"Adam, what kind of expression is that!"
Yuno looked at Adam with displeasure, and everyone's attention was drawn to them.
"Adam, stay away from Lily, you scummy man."
Adam really wanted to punch Asta. This big idiot, calling a scummy man a 'scummy man' was truly something else.
"Adam! Yuno! Let's have a showdown!"
Asta's magical thought process made Adam a bit confused.
It seemed only Asta, and his brother from another mother and father, Yuno, could see eye to eye!
"You two play! Children's games are no longer suitable for me!"
Adam waved his hand and turned to walk towards the Land of the Great Skull.
"Adam, you guy, don't look down on people!"
Asta shouted extremely loudly.
Yuno, however, looked calmly at Adam's receding back.
He also couldn't use magic, so why was Adam... "Yuno, let's have a showdown!"
"I don't like playing house either!"
"Ah! You just wait."
Asta also ran towards Skull Mountain. This time, he had to add a thousand more sit-ups to his training.
"This Adam guy..."
The yellow-haired tsundere kid looked puzzled.
Although Asta couldn't use magic, he worked very hard.
In contrast, why was Adam... "Damn it, Asta, you must prove that even a commoner, even without magic, can..."
The yellow-haired tsundere kid shouted in his heart... "Bad luck, bad luck!"
Adam felt a little sad when he thought of what the Sister had said.
If he didn't live as he pleased, wouldn't he end up like Asta, a passionate unlucky guy?
Why could other transmigrators use some technology?
When it came to Adam, besides the dragon-shaped jade pendant around his neck, he had nothing but the identity of an orphan... And this was a world of magic; not being able to use magic was too ridiculous.
"Sigh! I can only rely on tomorrow's ceremony..."
Adam's eyes held a trace of sadness. His previous life... it was better not to mention it!
He opened his eyes and became a three-year-old child, placed at the church entrance with Asta and Yuno.
His clothes were embroidered with 'Adam,' so he was called Adam from then on.
"Fifteen years have passed..."
Adam touched the jade pendant on his chest, his gaze gradually firming.
"A grimoire, I must get one!"
"1998!"
"1999!"
"2000!"
"Adam, do you want to drink some magical tree sap? It can increase your magic power!"
Asta's shouts came from beneath the skull.
"You drink it! I can't enjoy that fortune!"
Adam smiled. This Asta, with a kindred spirit like him, was working even harder than before.
"He wants to prove to me that even without magic..."
"Asta! Let's go home!"
...The Clover Kingdom's annual grimoire ceremony finally began.
Adam looked in surprise at the countless grimoires inside the grimoire tower.
How much money would these sell for!
Ever since he came to this place, it had been potatoes and bread every day, not even a hint of meat.
He was truly starving.
"Look at those bumpkins, I really don't know why they're participating in this ceremony."
"I heard that short guy can't even use magic; he's unique in the whole world."
"Is your news outdated? That blonde guy can't use magic either."
"Haha, how strange. Why come here if you can't use magic? Are you going to join the Magic Knights?"
"That's hilarious!"
The space inside the tower was huge, but no one spoke except for these two arrogant and self-important guys.
They kept chattering incessantly.
Adam didn't even glance at them.
These two cowards, when the ceremony ends later, he would let them know what fear was.
"I am the Tower Master of the grimoire Tower..."
Adam really had no time to listen to this white-bearded old man babbling nonsense.
It was like the 'Will of Fire' from the next door, all empty talk.
And the Magic Emperor!
It wasn't the Magic Emperor, but a distorted relationship with a devil. A garbage king and nobles could ride roughshod over the Magic Knights.
This feudal system was truly disgusting.
Ever since Adam entered the grimoire tower, the jade pendant on his chest had been heating up.
This feeling, a sign of taking off!
"grimoires, bestowal begins!"
At the command of the white-bearded Tower Master, various grimoires in the tower began to float.
The dazzling grimoires began to search for their owners.
The gears of fate began to turn, and everyone received their own grimoire.
Yuno received the grimoire engraved with a Clover, named 'Luck'.
Asta knelt on one knee, his face pale.
Before Adam, a thin golden grimoire floated.
Surrounded by the patterns of the twelve zodiac signs, the jade pendant on his chest emitted a beam of light, directly rushing into the grimoire.
The golden grimoire automatically opened to the fifth page, which showed the image of a dragon.
Adam's face was wild, his expression extremely ferocious.
It had been fifteen long years!
He had finally made it through!
The twelve zodiac signs, what kind of prestige was that!
Everyone was discussing Yuno, who had received the four-leaf Clover grimoire, and the magic-less young man enveloped in golden light.
"Brother Adam actually got a grimoire!"
The children were shocked, and Lily and the old man's mouths couldn't close.
"He also can't use magic, but this blonde man is much stronger than that short guy."
They still dared to mock them!
Adam revealed a charming smile. He didn't care about these things, or what kind of talent the Tower Master valued.
"But, this thin grimoire, after two pages, it'll be gone, right!"
This dark-haired, foul-mouthed man whose hair was so unwashed it was getting matted, was still chattering.
"Ancient Eastern Dragon, please grant me the power to destroy all!"
"Dragon Blast!"
