Arc Summary: "All things change; all people grow. Including Kei Weilan. The only question is, is that change for better...or for worse?"
Years have passed and the trio of orphans from Hage have grown. Asta, Yuno and Kei are now ready to set off and try their luck at the Magic Knights entrance exam. When Asta is accepted at the last moment by the Black Bulls captain, Kei, of course, follows him. However, the Black Bulls are nothing like what he had expected and Kei's views of the nobles, the commoners and Clover Kingdom at large, begin to shatter, one by one. But before he can truly begin to accept them and be accepted himself, there's one last hurdle to cross...
'DANCE IN THE MOONLIGHT' ARC
the anti magic grimoire part two
Kei stood, watching in wonder as hundreds of grimoires found their owners. His heart pounded wildly. Before he had a chance to get nervous, or indeed feel anything beyond anticipation, his grimoire floated down from the numerous shelves towards him.
It's here! It's finally here!
Kei greedily took it in: a platinum-bound book glowing silvery-blue. Two large crescent moons gleamed on the front and back cover, one facing left and one facing right, one black and and one white. A blue full moon shone in the centre of both, surrounding a three leaf clover. He reached out to touch it with shaking hands; it felt cool and smooth and somehow right.
His very own grimoire.
The boy smiled, soft and excited and genuine.
I'm one step closer to-
His thoughts were interrupted by a bright, burning light. Kei looked around.
A four-leaf grimoire burned with blinding light in front of Yuno. There were exclamations of awe and shock all around him.
Kei merely scoffed, shaking his head, a fond smile playing on his lips.
Typical Yuno.
Another thought came to him and the moonlight mage looked around. Just as he expected, there was Asta, grimoire-less.
Kei sucked in his lips, gaze darkening. His heart clenched; his head throbbed. As if in warning.
It's not so simple, Asta. You and Yuno... you're really two of a kind. Nothing can ever be simple with the two of you.
Reassurances and warnings clogged his throat. To Yuno and Asta both. Visions had plagued him for so long before this, even now he pulled them into his vision.
Not yet.
It'll be fine.
Not yet.
The moonlight mage bit his lip and stayed quiet.
