Black clover : The Rise of the Clover

Prologue

A world filled with mana, and magic to give humans power that they shouldn't have but they do now. This energy known as mana is present everywhere in this world but one child is born without mana, a perfect vessel to hold any magical attribute but instead of having this natural energy he hosted something, some entity in him to balance the power present in the world.

This is a world filled with magical species such devils, elves, dwarfs, angels and a species made to break their limits and surpass them the species known as humans.

At the very beginning human did not possess the power to manipulate mana but they merged themselves with magical spirts and in the end, humans began to possess man and began to create grimoires a book made purely of mana. Spiritual energy turned to physical energy to form a book, a medium to control their mana and use it effectively but the thing is that these grimoires are connected to the user's very core.

We see a woman in her late 20s had tears of flow out of her eyes as she held a baby in her hands. This woman had a silver blonde hair that went down till here shoulders, her emerald green eyes glanced at the newborn as she said "Asta", the newborn woke as he tried to embrace his mother.

Licita ,the mother of Asta thought of leaving her son in the church so that he could live a life, a life with mana. Licita did not want her son to be isolated like her, the reason being that she was cursed. Her curse was that any type of magic around her was absorbed by her.

Licita tried to sense any magic present in her son but none was there in him and the way her son tried to embrace her as if trying tell her that ' don't leave me here, mom' Licita in front of the church was faced by a dilemma. Licita started at her son as she left him in front of the church and started walking to her house still staring at her son.

Time-skip 5 years

Asta was seen caring a pile of fire wood as he was walking besides Yuno and Sister Lily, who was also carrying firewood. "Sister Lily, what is that?" Asta asked as he pointed at the big demon skull in the outside of the village, Hage.

"Oh, that is the skull of the demon, the first Wizard king defeated" Sister Lily said as Yuno asked "Who is the wizard king?" Yuno asked.

"When we go to church, I will tell you children the tale of the First wizard king" Sister Lily said. They had reached the church.

It had been a year since Yuno had unlocked his magic. It was a powerful wind attribute that Yuno held and he was held as the pride of the church, no the pride of the entire village at least that's what Father Orsi says.

Asta and Yuno sat down on one of the benches in the church as Sister Lily took a story book as she began to flip its pages as she began to tell the story.

"I am going to be the Wizard king" Asta declared as he stood up, Sister Lily smiled as she asked "Why do you want to become the wizard king? Asta", Asta became silent as he said "Well when I become the wizard king then we can live in the capital and we could eat good food and we could live in the palace".

Asta's reply made Sister Lily think how matured Asta was." Well, if you are going t-to become the Wizard king then so am I " Yuno said stammering. "Well good luck with achieving your goals " Sister Lily said with a smile.

Asta had started to train his body seeing that his magic hasn't awakened yet and being determined to become the wizard king, he wanted to be as strong as possible.

Yuno and Asta had started their training. Yuno used his wind magic to lift the fire wood and to keep them levitating in the air. Asta performed a lot of physical exercises to train his muscles.

Asta had just finished his training as he was all sweaty and was tired, exhausted. Asta felt himself drifting to sleep. Asta fell in the forest as fell asleep.

The Next day

Asta Woke up to see that he was in the forest but he had never seen this part of the forest. Asta began to explore the forest as found something very peculiar a stone not just any stone but a magic stone. Asta picked it up "Wow this is so shiny" Asta said excited.

Asta felt his stomach rumble as he looked down. Asta tried to find a way back to the church but he couldn't find any.

Asta stumbled across a small hut in the middle of the forest. Asta went to the hut "Is anyone there? " Asta shouted. Asta heard someone cough as he walked into the small hut as he found an old man lying on the floor. Asta rushed towards the old man as he asked "Old man are you alright?" Asta asked frantically. "W-water" the old man said as he pointed at a vase.

Asta fetched water and gave it to the old man as the old man drunk it in one go. "Th-thank you" the old man.

"What is your name?" the old man asked "Asta from Hage village and what is you name" Asta asked.

"My name is 'cough' Yoriichi 'cough' Tsugikuni and thank you for helping me" The old man now known as Yoriichi said. "No problem old man" Asta said with a smile.

"What are you doing here all by yourself Asta?" Yoriichi asked as Asta's stomach rumbled again." Well, I was training and I passed out in the forest and when I woke up, I was near the river and I started to walk in search of food and I found this hut and heard you cough so I came here and yeah that's how I ended up here" Asta said. Yoriichi could see that the little boy had a lot of muscles and was well built for his age but he heard a rumbling come from Asta's stomach, Yoriichi smiled.

"Seeing that you are hungry, how about I give you some food as a reward for helping me" Yoriichi said as stars formed in Asta's eyes as he asked "Really?" Asta asked.

Yoriichi nodded as he took a pot and served the food to Asta. Asta thanked Yoriichi for the food and intake it in a moment.

Yoriichi smile seeing the small boy's antics. "Hey, old man why is that you living alone in the forest ?" Asta asked.

"Well, I am a swordsman or a samurai and I ended up here when one day I went for fishing" Yoriichi said as Asta said "So cool ".

"Yes, it was very cool" Yoriichi said "Well old man not to be rude but c-can you teach me on how to be a swordsman?" Asta asked timidly.

"Why do you want to be a swordsman, Asta?" Yoriichi asked. "I want to become powerful so that I can become the wizard king and seeing that I am a commoner and I don't have any magic" Asta said in a sad tone.

"And why do you want to be the wizard king?" Yoriichi asked," I want to prove that even a commoner who doesn't have any magic could also become the wizard king and also make sure that everyone equal, it doesn't matter if you're a commoner, a noble or even a royal" Asta said.

Yoriichi was surprised to see a small be so matured and he was also surprised by the discrimination in this kingdom.

"Well, I will teach you on how to be a swordsman but I will do this only if you wouldn't give up on that goal of yours" Yoriichi said with seriousness present in his voice." I wouldn't give up on becoming the wizard king" Asta said with determination in his voice.

"Now that we have deal how about you go home, I am sure that your parents would be worried about you" Yoriichi said as he noticed Asta's mood drop. "What's the matter Asta?" Yoriichi asked seeing the boy upset.

"W-well I am an o-orphan" Asta said with his head down. 'Being an orphan at this young age must have been depressing' Yoriichi thought. "I am sorry" Yoriichi said as Asta said "No, don't worry I have come to terms with it" Asta said as he again thanked Yoriichi for the food and went back to the church.

Asta saw Sister Lily and father Orsi searching for him frantically as he went to them. "Where were you young man?" Both Sister Lily and Father Orsi asked Asta and they were very worried about Asta.

"Well, you see I was training and I passed out I the forest and when I woke up, I began to search for food and then I saw an old man, who was struggling and I helped him and he gave me some food and then I came here" Asta said as he saw both of them calm down a bit.

'Phew, that went well' Asta thought. "You always know how to make them" a voice said.

"Yuno what are you doing here?" Asta asked as the voice, which was now known as Yuno. "Well can't have my brother lost right" Yuno said as Asta began to chase Yuno.
