"I see, I see. It's truly amazing that you were able to obtain this. This magic is likely the most important relic from that Magic Palace!" Julius said excitedly.
"Can you read the characters on it?" Yuno couldn't help but ask. You have to understand, he couldn't read a single thing, otherwise he wouldn't be so confused!
"I understand a little, a little!" After Julius said this modestly, his eyes lit up. So this was what the Wind Magic of the past looked like!
Julius was clearly becoming more and more delighted the more he looked. In the end, he even let out a surprised sound, just like a child seeing something delicious.
"With this level of excitement, it seems the rumor that the Magic Emperor is an incomparable magic fanatic is true!" Klaus pushed up his little glasses and noted down this bit of gossip.
"Hey, hey, can you use this magic and show me?" Julius walked up to Yuno, his eyes sparkling.
"I'm sorry. Although I used this magic once in the Magic Palace, I haven't been able to cast it since then." Yuno said apologetically.
"That is truly a pity." Julius immediately became dejected.
"Ha... as the Magic Emperor, is it really okay to make that expression?" Noelle was stunned by this expression; the Magic Emperor she imagined was completely different from this!
"I didn't expect that one of the four great ancient attributes, the Wind Spirit, Sylph, would choose this young man in the current era!" Julius said with gratification. "Yuno, what I can tell you now is that this magic will grow with you and will one day become an incredibly powerful force. Treasure it!"
After saying this, Julius returned the grimoire to Yuno, who immediately took it back solemnly.
"Magic Emperor, strange passages also appeared in my book, along with two swords. What is going on?" Asta said, handing his grimoire to Julius, hoping to find a way to become stronger.
"Idiot Asta, your book is so filthy, how can you hand it to Lord Magic Emperor!" Klaus immediately said.
"It's fine!" Julius waved his hand, then motioned for Asta to hold the book up for him to see.
"This is 'fine'?" Asta had black lines on his forehead. Their Lord Magic Emperor really didn't put on any airs at all!
"This is..." Julius was quickly drawn in by the profound text inside.
"This is?" Asta began to anticipate. Could it be some kind of incredible magic? He knew it; as a transmigrator, how could he be mediocre? This must be talent that even shocks the Magic Emperor!
"I can't understand it at all!" Julius said.
"Pfft!" Noelle couldn't help but laugh out loud, though Asta making a fool of himself was also quite cute.
"So cute!" Mimosa Vermillion thought the same. Instantly, Noelle's mood soured, because someone was going to compete with her for Asta!
"I haven't seen it in any literature either..." Julius added.
"Damn it!" Asta refused to believe it. He opened his grimoire and took out the demon-slaying sword. "This second magic can conjure this thing. I already know it can absorb other people's magic and release it. Take a look for me and see if there are any other hidden functions!"
"The second Anti-Magic sword, huh!" The expression on Julius's face became fascinating.
"Heh heh, I can cast it!" Asta winked at Yuno.
"Show-off!" Yuno immediately turned his head away, refusing to look at Asta.
"Little blockhead!" Asta didn't continue to hurt Yuno. Then he noticed the Magic Emperor had returned to the same state as when he asked Yuno to cast his magic.
"The power of Anti-Magic, may I touch it?" Julius asked expectantly.
"Of course you can!" Asta said and handed the demon-slaying sword to Julius. This time, Julius didn't care if it was dirty or not; he quickly reached out to take it, happily saying thanks. However, as soon as he got it in his hands, Julius was dragged down by the demon-slaying sword and almost fell to the ground.
"So heavy!" Julius quickly used his strength to press the tip of the sword against the ground to steady himself.
"Lord Magic Emperor, are you okay?" Everyone said in a hurry.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. But for Asta to be able to wield such a heavy sword, it's truly amazing!" As soon as Julius finished speaking, his expression changed instantly because his magic was being continuously drained by the demon-slaying sword!
"Haha, that's nothing special!" Asta laughed. This world finally let him experience what it felt like to be a genius!
"Thanks, here it is back. I can't use this sword!" Julius laughed and handed the sword back to Asta. "This sword can only be used by you, who has no magic!"
"That goes without saying, this sword recognizes its master!" Asta smiled proudly, then hesitated. "However, I now seriously suspect that the final direction of this book will turn into a sword manual."
"I'm not sure about that, but you completed your mission this time very outstandingly." Julius praised, appearing to want to summarize this conversation.
"Lord Magic Emperor, please wait a moment!" Asta quickly called out to Julius. Yuno instantly understood what Asta wanted to ask, and almost in unison with Asta, shouted, "How can one become the Magic Emperor!"
"Hahaha, so you are aiming to become the Magic Emperor. Well, that's how members of The Knights should be!" Julius laughed.
"You two, how can you ask the Magic Emperor such things directly? That's too rude!" Klaus said in a hurry. "Listen carefully, only someone with a noble heart who has the deep trust of the people can..."
"No! What you said are just empty words. To truly become the Magic Emperor, you rely on achievements. A noble heart alone cannot protect people, and the trust of the people comes along with those achievements. There is only one requirement for the Magic Emperor, and that is achievements sufficient to be called the strongest!" Julius said seriously. "Only by constantly producing results and accumulating achievements can one succeed. Those who cannot do so will only be eliminated; it is impossible to stand at the very top!"
"Exactly what I wanted!" Asta and Yuno almost curled their lips at the same time. They were initially worried about class distinctions, but now it seems they were overthinking it. At least in terms of selecting the Magic Emperor, this world is still quite fair!
"Hage Village brats, watch carefully. Even an orphan can become the Magic Emperor!" Asta looked into the distance. There wasn't just Nash in this world wallowing in self-pity. He would definitely make these children stand up strong and strive to pursue their dreams!
