Born without magic in a world where magic is everything, a young boy named Asta is bullied and mocked for that very reason. In order to compensate for his inability to use magic, he started training his body at the age of 4. 2 years later, while tra...
It's been almost a month since Asta disappeared, and I had been training myself to the bone with my magic. When I was 4, I learned that I had wind magic, and I'd been trying develop different ways to use it. I thought of several things but they were far perfect. At the time, I trying to make my wind form a weapon in my hand as an experiment. As I was about to make a another attempt, I heard someone behind me say, "Hello." I was surprised by the sudden greeting and I turned around to see Sister Lily and Father Orsi with five silver haired people, one of them was a girl my age. I asked my guardians, "Father? Sister? Who are these people?" Sister Lily answered, "They're a family of royals visiting from the capital." I was in disbelief that a family of royals were standing right in front of me. The older woman with silver hair introduced herself and the others, "I'm Acier Silva, I'm also the captain and the Silver Eagles squad. These are my sons and daughters, Nozel, Nebra, Solid and Noelle." The youngest named Noelle smiled, waved at me, and said, "Hi." I said 'Hi' back. She said, "We came to your village because Mom wanted us get to know you commoners better, and to see where the legend of the First Wizard King was born." I nodded in understanding. Acier spoke up, "We met Sister Lily not far from here, and Nozel sensed your magic power. Sister Lily and Father Orsi told us about you and your goal." I looked down sadly and said, "So, she told you about Asta?" With a sad tone, Acier replied, "Yes, and I wish he was here right now. I would love to meet him." I asked, "You do?" She answered, "I do, I heard he was determined to show everyone what he can do, even though he didn't have any magic. I honestly like that kind of ambition." I smiled at the fact that someone didn't mock my brother for being magicless. But what she said next was the most puzzling thing I heard to that day. "If you want, I'd be more than happy to help you achieve your goals." I looked at her puzzled and surprised. I asked, "Why would you help me? You only just met me." "Honestly, when I heard about what you're going through, and what your goals were, it not only made me respect you, it also made me feel sorry for both you and Asta." I responded with a 'huh?' Acier explained, "Sorry for Asta for being mocked and bullied for being different, and you for losing your foster brother. As for respecting you, Sister Lily told me you wanted to be the Wizard King not just to find Asta, but for your sake and his. I have never heard of anyone so humble." She told the truth, I wanted to be the Wizard King for both of us, to make this country much more prosperous than it is. I asked her, "What do you have in mind?" She replied, "Yuno, would you like to become my apprentice?" Not just me, but everyone present was greatly surprised by Acier's offer. We all voiced out, "Seriously?!!" She nodded as she said, "Yes." I asked her, "Would it really be alright?" Acier smiled and nodded, telling me that it was really alright. I gave her a determined look and said, "I would love to be your student! Please help me become the Wizard King!" Her smile became bigger and said, "Well, Lily? Would it be alright if he stays with us for a while?" Sister Lily replied, "Sure, but please come visit from time to time, so we won't worry about Yuno so much." Acier nodded and said, "Thank you. Alright kids, let's get ready to head home. And Yuno, if you have anything you want to bring with you, please pick it up when we get back to the church." I nodded and we all made our way back to the church, I went inside and packed up a few spare clothes I had and went back outside to leave with the Silvas. We all said goodbye to Sister Lily and Father Orsi and flew off to the capital.
Clover Kingdom Capital
We've just made it back to the Silva estate, and we saw that someone was standing at the front door. We got closer and I could make out that it was a man with short blonde hair, wearing a red robe with a medal on the left side of his chest, and a blue six pointed star above his left eye.

I could tell that he was someone very high ranked, but I didn't know how high until a moment later. Acier greeted the man, "Oh Julius, I didn't expect you to come visit." The man named Julius replied, "Hello Acier, I came to notify you about the new magic knight squads that were just created." My new teacher responded, "Oh? There are new squads? I would like to hear more about them." Julius nodded and looked at me. He asked Acier, "So, who is this young boy? You adopted a new son?" She laughed and said, "No, this is my new apprentice, Yuno. Yuno, this man is the current Wizard King, Julius Novachrono." I was surprised once again that day. The Wizard King was standing right before my eyes. He smiled and replied, "Oh, you have an apprentice now? Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Yuno." I said, "It's a pleasure to meet you too, sir." Acier suggested, "Let's all head inside and continue this conversation over tea." Julius, no the Wizard King replied, "Good idea, I also like to know more about Yuno." We went inside and sat down and talked over tea, which was the first time I ever had any. Acier and the Wizard King spent the next hour talking about the new squads and about how she met me earlier that day. At one point in the conversation, I asked the Wizard King, "Excuse me, Wizard King?" He replied, "Please, call me Julius." I said, "Okay, Julius. May I ask you a question?" He nodded telling me to go ahead. "I was wondering, what does it take to become the Wizard King?" The Silva siblings were also curious since they perked up when I asked Julius. "It's about results, Yuno. You have to prove you're the strongest, and get results. After all, the trust of the people is not granted it's earned. So, train hard and become stronger than all of the magic knight captains." I then knew what I needed to do to achieve one of my goals. After another half hour, Julius left the estate. Acier turned to me and said, "Yuno, we'll start training tomorrow, so rest up." I nodded and Acier's maids showed me to my room.
