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...
Liebe had been released into our world after such a long time being sealed in my five leaf grimoire, and he then stood right in front of me. I honestly couldn't believe that a devil was standing right before my eyes. Most would be terrified in such a situation, but I wasn't. In fact, I was eager to meet Liebe in the flesh, because it gave me comfort that there was someone out there that knows what it's like to be powerless.
I said to the devil, "So this is what you look like, Liebe? I wasn't expecting you to be around my age." He giggled and replied, "You should always be prepared for the unexpected." I smiled and said, "Very true." I turned to Nacht and asked, "You said that normally we have to fight each other into submission, so what do we do instead?" He replied, "Simply, Liebe just surrenders." I turned back to Liebe and he nodded before saying, "I surrender." Then, out of nowhere, black chains appear around his neck and anchored him to the ground. Everyone looked at Nacht and yelled, "HEY, WHAT GIVES NACHT?!!!" Nacht replied, "Calm down, this is part of the ritual. It's meant to restrain a defeated devil from attacking the victor. The chains will disappear when Asta makes the contract." We calm down a bit and he continued, "Asta, since you are the one in a position of power in the ritual, you are free to make any contract you want. But, knowing you, you already know what you want, correct?" I nodded and stated, "Liebe, we will avenge your mother. So, let's grow strong enough so that someday we will kill Lucifero. You're not alone anymore, my friend." The chains disappeared and Liebe stood up and smiled. We shook hands and suddenly identical marks appeared on our wrists. I asked Nacht, "Hey Nacht, what are these marks on our wrists?" He replied, "Those markings signify that you and Liebe now established an equal contract." Me and Liebe examined the markings when Nacht brought up something rather interesting. "By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you about. Now that you both have formed a contract, Asta, you will be able to tap into 100% of Liebe's power." We all looked at him in disbelief. "What do you mean?" I asked him. He replied, "When you first received your grimoire, you were only able to use bits of Liebe's excess power. Now that you formed a contract with him, you'll be able to completely access the entirety of his Anti-magic. However, you will need to learn to use a small amount of it first before using it at full blast. So, I suggest you both work that into your training regiment." Liebe and I nodded in understanding. Nacht added, "When I have some free time, I'll come by and help teach you what I know about devil's magic." We both replied, "Thank you." Then, Master walked forward and spoke to Liebe, "Looks like we finally meet face to face, Liebe." He replied, "Indeed, Master Kagaya. And I gotta say, there's something about you that reminds me of Licita." Master's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "I do? How so?" Liebe explained, "The fact that you don't fear or hate me, and even willing to regard a devil as your child. I've only ever known Licita for being so opened minded." He snickered and continued, "The only thing that makes you different is that you're more the subtle type, while Licita was as energetic as a little kid." Master chuckled and said, "It sounds like your mother was a rather interesting person, I just wish I could have met her, also I'm sorry for your loss." Liebe looked down sad and Master's wife, Amane, changed the subject, "So Liebe, do you have any idea on which breathing style you want to learn?" He replied, "Probably Wind Breathing. Since I'm able to fly with my wings, I should go with a style where I can bend with the wing." All of us were intrigued by his idea. Master stated, "Interesting choice. And fighting from the air isn't something demons are used to, so it would give you a better advantage against them. I'll inform the Wind Hashira to come and train you." Liebe nodded and said, "Thank you." Master nodded and Nacht said, "Well, I think it's time to bring you all to the Butterfly Mansion, I need to report to the Wizard King about my last mission. I'll come by when I have free to see your progress, Asta and Liebe." All of us turned to Nacht and nodded.
Time skip- 3 weeks
It had been 3 weeks since Liebe was set free from the the five leaf grimoire, and since then Kanae and Shinobu had been training him on how to do Total Concentration Breathing while I was training to master Total Concentration Constant. When I was done training for the day, I helped by training Liebe on how to read Ki. And about two days a week, we've been training on mastering his Anti-magic, with the help of some of the Kakushi who use attack magic. We've learned so far that the massive sword, known as the Demon Slayer, has the ability to cut through magic with the blade's edge, reflect it with the flat, and increase the blades size and length by pushing and condensing the Anti-magic on it's edges. We named this technique:
Anti-magic: Demon Slayer Sword: Black Divider.
Along with Black Divider, we experimented on what would happen if I circulate Anti-magic through my body. I gripped the hilt of the sword with one hand, put my other hand on the blade and focus on circulating the power through me, and it had a very interesting effect. My right arm was completely covered in black Anti-magic, a black wing sprouts from my right shoulder, a black horn sprouts from the right side of my head, my upper right canine elongates, and my right eye turns red with a slit-like pupil.

We continued training until the Wind Hashira arrived, and I was surprised to see who it was.
