Asta Staria: The Ten Thousand Shadows

Asta didn't know what went wrong. Everything was going somewhat okay even if the entire Kingdom was in slight ruins but the Clover Kingdom can still live to see another day thanks to his along with the other Magic Knights who had valiantly fought to protect the Kingdom from the threat of the reincarnated elves along with the High Rank devil Zagred. So why was he cuffed and made to stand in front of many nobles and royals while being looked like a criminal? What did he do wrong? He protected the Kingdom?

"For the crime of treason against the Clover kingdom, You're hereby stripped of your status as a Magic Knight and exiled from this country never to return again." declared Damnatio with a cold tone as he looked down at the defeated and distraught Asta. 

No matter what achievements he had garnered in his short time as a Magic Knight, he was still a magicless peasant whose only use is to take a fall for the possessed Magic Knight and because the arrogant nobles and royals didn't want to admit their failure nor admit that they were saved by a peasant and a magicless one at that. All he can do is walk away with a battered pride, the pleading voices of his Black Bulls family can be heard as they tried to stop him from leaving, Yami attempts at convincing Asta that he can change the verdict also fell in deaf ears. All he can do is walk forward and not look back because he knew he can't stand seeing the tears of his family who stood by his side till the very end. 

Why was he running away? He had always faced adversity head on with no fear of death, so why is he running away? What about the vow he made with Yuno? Is he running away from it as well? Is it because he realized that his dream is meaningless? Is this all he amounts to? Being used as a scapegoat for people who had done nothing but hide in their mansion? 

No, he amounts more then this. He had been walking forward his whole life never stopping for a moment and all for one goal and that is to become the Wizard King. He had gathered allies and had his Black Bulls family who stood by his side and pulled him to his feet whenever he tripped along the way. He just needs to overcome this like he always did his whole life. This is just another obstacle for him, one that he intend to not let it block him from his goals and one that he will overcome with the help of an unexpected person.

Asta's adventure will take him to the Hino Country in which he will learn of his heritage as the heir of the Staria family and the inheritor of the Martial Arts [Gathering of Ten Thousand Shadows]. Will he ever return to the Clover Kingdom or will he stay at the Hino Country? How will the Clover Kingdom fare without Asta?

Noelle Silva

Noelle had been robbed of many things, the first being her own childhood when she was made to look insignificant for her lack of magic control, her own siblings had bullied her for 15 years and had reminded her everyday that their mother death was her fault even though she had nothing to do with it. She was always seen as blemish, a stain in the Silva royal house. This in turn had closed her heart completely and made her unable to properly express her true feelings, fearing that she might have her heart broken again.

This time, they robbed something precious to her. They had taken away the only person she had loved from day one. The person who never looked down on her or made her feel insignificant but instead encouraged her and helped her whenever she tripped along the way. All she could do was watch in horror as Asta was exiled from the Kingdom after saving it being unable to do anything but try to stop him from leaving.

Noelle had never been the same after Asta exile but unlike before where she only had herself to rely on, she now had the Black Bulls helping her get through it all. She had became even more reserved and more honest with her feelings unlike before. Although, she had started to develop clear disgust towards the entitled nobles and royals being even ashamed of having to carry the blood of those people who had no shame whatsoever. Noelle hopes to one day be strong enough to find Asta and confess her feelings for him, this time even willing to follow him wherever he goes.
