" Mr. Wizard King sir, are you listening?" A voice suddenly called out from across the room, pulling the Wizard King out of his thoughts.

Asta Silva, the current Wizard King, slowly turned around to face the young woman standing in the doorway. He smiled a bit sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck.

" Sorry, I was lost in thought for a second," Asta told the young man with a laugh. " Could you say that again Esmée?"

" I asked, will your daughters be participating in the Entrance Exams or will they just go straight into their squads of choice like most Nobles?" Esmée Francois, the daughter of Marx Francois, asked as she walked towards the middle of the room.

Just like her father was Julius's assistant, Esmée was now Asta's assistant. She had just recently stepped into her role as his former assistant, William Vangeance, had decided to officially retire from all Kingdom duties. She was very much like her father; she was strict, no nonsense, and kept Asta in line.

" Hm, I'm not too sure. Right now Brielle's the only one old enough to actually take the exam." Asta muttered in thought, he and Noelle hadn't had the chance to ask their girls about it yet, but maybe they should?

Brielle had just turned 15 in September, Mizuki had turned 13 in January, and Kaiyo would be 12 in August. As Asta thought about his daughters' ages it suddenly dawned on him just how much time had passed and how it seemed like they were growing up so quickly.

" I guess tonight we'll have to have a family meeting about it." Asta said before he turned around to look at Esmée.

" Well you'd better do it soon sir, the entrance exam is only a couple of weeks away." Esmée told him as she crossed her arms, his eyes suddenly widened.

" It's in a couple of weeks?!" He shouted, causing the blue haired mage to cover her ears.

" Yes sir, so might I suggest-?" She began but was cut off.

" I'm so excited! I wonder if there'll be any new magic types there, maybe there'll be a new time mage or maybe someone from Hino that decided to come and try out!" Asta began to ramble excitedly as his eyes shone brightly like stars in the night, Esmée sighed and shook her head.

" Sir…you do realize you won't be able to go see the exam in person right?"

" Huh? Why not? I've been going to the exam in disguise every year since I became Wizard King." Asta said with a tilt of his head, suddenly Esmée glared at him.

The blue haired woman walked over to him, grabbed a stack of papers that were on a nearby table, and slammed them down onto Asta's desk, causing the older man to jump.

" Because you'll be too busy doing all this backlogged paperwork, you see Lord Vangeance may've let you get away with a lot of things, but I'm not like him. You'll do all the paperwork and other Wizard King duties that you've neglected over the past 3 years." Esmée told him with a wicked grin on her face that made a chill go down Asta's spine.

Now he understood why Noelle chose her to be his assistant over her brother Amrel.

After completing a month's worth of paperwork in just a single day, Asta was finally able to make his way to his living quarters. All Wizard Kings had a residence in the castle, and he was no exception. But the only difference was Asta's residence was just a bit bigger than most of the previous Wizard Kings was, and that was because he moved his family in as well.

Asta slowly opened the door and looked around, he didn't see any of his daughters around, nor did he see his wife. Maybe she was out on a mission? Or was she working somewhere in the Castle? He shrugged, oh well, at least he'd have a little bit of quiet time to take a nap.

" There you are Bakasta." He suddenly heard from behind him, Asta jumped at the sudden voice before he turned around and saw a familiar face staring back at him.

" Don't sneak up on me like that Noelle!" Asta shouted, and Noelle frowned a bit.

" You didn't sense me behind you with your Ki?" She asked curiously, and Asta shook his head.

" No, I guess it's because I'm so tired." Asta said with a slightly tired laugh, Noelle nodded, she could only imagine just how tired he was. After all, the Wizard King had a lot more duties than Asta realized.

" Papa, you're home!" Kaiyo, Noelle and Asta's youngest daughter, shouted gleefully as she ran out from behind her mother and jumped into her fathers arms.

" Kaiyo! I've missed you!" Asta's fatigue seemed to melt away the minute he saw his youngest, he instantly perked up and a bright smile appeared on his face. He picked her up and held her in his arms.

" Did you have a good day?" He asked, and the young girl nodded. The three walked into their residence, and they all began to talk about their day. Noelle and Kaiyo had decided to go shopping in town for the day since Noelle would be gone for a few days on a mission, while Mizuki and Brielle had left earlier to do…something.

" You don't know where they went?" Asta asked, and Noelle shook her head.

" Well, Brielle said something about going to the Black Bulls, while Mizuki said something about going downstairs. But after that, I don't know where they went." Noelle admitted, and as the words left her mouth the door to their residence opened and in walked Brielle and Mizuki.

Brielle had a few bandages on her arms and face, as well as some dust and dirt, her clothes were wrinkled and a bit disheveled. Meanwhile Mizuki looked exactly as she did before she left, except she had an annoyed look on her face.

" We're back!" Brielle announced excitedly, and Noelle instantly jumped up from where she was sitting.

" Where have you been, and what the heck happened to you?!" Noelle shouted in concern as she ran over to her eldest daughter, Asta followed behind with Kaiyo in tow.

" This idiot here went and got herself into some trouble with Hikari and the other Legacy Bulls!" Mizuki said with irritation lacing each word, Brielle turned to look at her sister.

" I did not! Hikari, Aloys, Ezio, me, and the others went out into town to shop and hang out when these stuck up nobles decided to talk crap about everyone. So we just put them in their place and showed them that the Bulls aren't a squad to take lightly!" Brielle said proudly as she smiled widely. " It was sooo cool! One of those nobles tried to use their fire magic on me, so Herz and I used our Counter magic, and we showed him not to mess with us!"

" That sounds so cool Brielle, you really showed him!" Asta said excitedly as his eyes shone brightly, but as soon as the father and daughter tried to gush more about what happened they suddenly felt someone grab their ears and tug on them.

When they looked they saw it was Noelle, and if looks could kill the two would be dead 10x over.

" I think mom's angry." Kaiyo said softly as she, Mizuki, Herz, and Liebe all watched Noelle drag the two over to a pair of chairs and began to shout and scold them for how reckless they were acting.

After Brielle and Asta had gotten scolded by Noelle for nearly ten minutes the family eventually sat down to eat dinner. They talked and chatted a bit as they ate, it was a typical Silva family dinner. Except Noelle noticed that Asta was acting a little…odd. It was like he had something he wanted to say, but couldn't find the words. She had only seen him like this a few times in the past, and usually it was when something important was on his mind.

" Asta, is everything okay?" She asked softly as she set her silverware down, her husband looked at her as he was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts. Their daughters all stopped eating and looked at him as well, Asta suddenly rubbed the back of his head nervously.

" Yeah everythings fine, things are just getting a little crazy with the entrance exam coming up." Asta admitted sheepishly, and Noelle nodded.

" I forgot that it was coming up, it's in a couple of weeks right? I expect things will be pretty chaotic for all the squads." Noelle said as took a sip of her water, and Asta nodded in agreement.

" Yeah, it'll be especially hectic the days after the exam." Asta said, he suddenly looked at his daughters, trying to figure out how to subtly ask them what their thoughts were.

Noelle noticed the look on his face and how he was watching their daughters, and a soft smile appeared on her face.

" What do you guys think about the exam? Are any of you planning to take the exam?" Noelle asked curiously. Asta gave his wife a thankful look before turning back to their daughters.

They watched as thoughtful looks crossed all three of their daughter's faces, apparently they hadn't thought about it much themselves. He smiled softly before he gently tapped his fingers on the table to get their attention.

" It's okay if you guys don't know what you want to do yet, there's no rush and you guys don't need to feel pressured into making a decision right now. Sometimes we don't figure out what we want to do or who we want to be until a lot later in life, and that's okay! Just know that whatever decision you all make," Asta reached over to grab his wife's hand and held it gently in his. " Your mom and I will be right behind you, supporting you 100%!"

" Your fathers right," Noelle began as she gently squeezed his hand. " No matter what you guys decide to do, and no matter when you guys decide to do it, you'll have our full support. As long as it's nothing illegal anyway." She added, half joking half seriously.

" What if," Mizuki started softly as she looked from the table to her parents. " What if we don't want to be Magic Knights, but something else…would that be alright?" She asked softly, Noelle and Asta looked at each other for a moment before nodding at her.

" Of course that's alright! Whatever you want to do, we'll support you." Asta said warmly as he smiled at her.

" As long as it isn't anything illegal." Noelle reiterated, causing everyone to chuckle.

" In that case…I want to be a Magic Knight Healer. I want to work here in the Castle with Owen treating Magic Knights!" Mizuki said quickly and with her closed tightly.

Noelle, Asta, Brielle, and Kaiyo looked at her before looking at each other. That had been quite unexpected, especially considering she had previously said she enjoyed going out on missions with her friends and occasionally fighting against them in mock battles. But, if her heart was pulling her in a different direction, then she should follow it.

" I think that's a great and wise choice Mizuki, we need more amazing healers here in the Castle, and you're smart enough to compete with Owen himself if you wanted. Besides, now your father and I can see you whenever we want!" Noelle said cheerfully and Asta nodded in agreement.

" Yeah, and you're always good at patching me and Kaiyo up, so I know you'll be a great healer Mizuki, and if I ever get hurt or injured I'll only ever ask for you!" Brielle told her sister with a bright smile and a thumbs up, and Kaiyo nodded in agreement.

" What about you Brielle? What do you want to do?" Asta asked his eldest daughter, she turned to look at him, her bright smile still in place.

" I want to be a Magic Knight, to be more accurate, I want to be a Black Bull!" She announced cheerfully. " I gave it a lot of thought, and I can't imagine being in any other squad!"

" You know Captain Yami won't go easy on you just because you're our daughter right? In fact, he may be harder on you because you're our child." Noelle pointed out, and her daughter nodded firmly.

" I know that, and I'm fully prepared for it! I'll work hard, I'll never give up, and eventually I'll surpass my limits just like you guys did!" Brielle shouted excitedly, and Asta smiled cheerfully.

" Yeah that's my girl!" Asta shouted cheerfully, causing the others at the table to shake their heads at the two's loudness.

" What about you Kaiyo? What do you want to be?" Noelle asked kindly, she watched as her youngests eyes danced around in thought.

She knew her youngest wasn't very confident in herself or her abilities, so Noelle wasn't quite sure if the girl knew what she wanted to be yet and she didn't want to push her to be anything. It took Noelle a long time herself to decide what she wanted to be, and Kaiyo seemed to be the same way.

" I…I think I want to be a Magic Knight too…but…" Kaiyo trailed off nervously. " But I don't think I can do it…my Magic's still out of control, even though Uncle Nozel's been helping me, so I don't think I can be a Magic Knight…" she added sadly as she stared at the table.

" My magic was out of control for a long time and I still became a Magic Knight," Noelle told her kindly. " and your Magic isn't as out of control as it used to be, you've gotten stronger, and you have your wand to help you better control it if you need it. You can be a Magic Knight Kaiyo, even with little control of your magic, and we'll support you." Noelle repeated, and she knew that she sounded like a broken record. Constantly repeating that she and Asta would support their daughters, but she just wanted them to know that they cared and only wanted them to do what their hearts told them to do.

" If…If I did become a Magic Knight…would it matter what squad I decided to be in?" Kaiyo asked, which mildly surprised Noelle and Asta. They kind of assumed she would want to be in the Black Bulls like Brielle, but for her to ask that question meant she had another squad in mind.

" No it doesn't matter! You can be in any squad you want, Kaiyo." Asta told her with a gentle smile on his face, and the young girl finally looked up at her parents.

" I…want to be in the Silver Eagles with Uncle Nozel…that way I can continue my training and I think I'll be more comfortable there and…I don't want to take the Magic Knights entrance exam, I'm scared I might hurt everyone there." Kaiyo told them, and Asta and Noelle nodded.

" I'll talk to Nozel and see what he thinks, but I'm sure he'd be more than happy to have you in the Silver Eagles." Noelle told her, and the young girl smiled a bit more before.

As the conversations turned to lighter topics and Herz and Liebe jumped in and began to tease the girls about how they would likely have a more difficult time than their parents since a lot was expected out of them, but the girls argued that they were up to the challenge and would do just as well as their parents!

Asta and Noelle watched them all in content, their girls were growing up and would all soon leave the nest to go to their squads. Of course they still had a few years with Kaiyo and Mizuki, but Brielle would possibly be leaving in a couple of weeks and even though the two were sad, they were also happy that she would get to stretch her wings and fly a bit.

Noelle suddenly rested her head on her husbands shoulder and smiled, Asta blushed a bit but discreetly moved to kiss the top of her head as they continued watching their small and rambunctious family.
